A Pension of 81 a Day.

John Thorps, Co. F, 59th ILL.,, Jewett,
ILL.,, thinks that the expense of our Gov
eminent in managing the Pension Blu
reau might be so much reduced as to
enable it to pay to the veterans at least
81 day for the rest of their lives with
out any increase in the present eXpendi-
ture. 1t is true that this would put the
veterans dole below the pay of the
average laborer but it would be a great
help nevertheless.
