| BIG INCREASE
IN PENSIONS.
----------------> ----------
At Least Two Million Dollars
More Than Those Of
Last Year.
TO SPANISH WAR SOLDIERS.
Recent Bill Passed Provides For an
Appropriation OF an Additional
100000
Special correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Washington. April 2.-The pension
appropriation bill which recently passed
provided for an appropriation OF 81
100000 more than that OF year ago,
or. in round numbers, about Sal .000, 900.
1t has been about 20 years, perhaps a
little more, since John A. Logan, the
best friend the civil war veterans ever
had, announced that the pension appro-
prlation bill had reached high water
mark. James A. Garfield, who was
murdered in 1881, had announced
half dozen years before Logan died
that the pension list had reached Il
greatest limit, but since the days Of
those distinguished men, both field off,
GERS of the civil war, the pension APP
preparation bill has doubled. Most Of
us can remember that these increases
have taken place since Grover Cleve-
land so severely criticised some of the
private pension bills passed during his
first administration. And there be
shrewd politicians who believe that had
It not been for these same pension We
toes Cleveland would have been re-
elect in 1855; In other words, that PEN
eions cut more figure than tariff in that
great campaign.
THEN AND NOW.
Looking back over those days. we re-
member that Buck Kilgore OF Texas
was the uncompromlslng enemy of pri-
vate pension legislation. In those days
the house rules provided that all pen
sion bills should be passed at Friday
night sessions or course. quorum
never attended these sessions, and no
bill to which any one man objected to
could get through. Kllgone held up
many sessions by demanding quorum.
When Kilgore had joined the great ma
jority Talbert Of South Carolina sue
ceeded him and devoted his time to de-
feating private pension bills. He held
the house at his mercy until the Repub-
lican majority decided to cure the no
