The Subtilty Of Injustice.

When l see an old soldier, with
snowy locks and an empty sleeve, tot
tering along life's thorny pathway,
forced to club the wolf from his cot.
tage door with that remaining arm
because of an insufficient pension, |
feel like crying out: For Gods sake!
where is the individal or body of indi.
viduals that has the power to prevent
this shame to our flag and govern
ment?"
Only remnant of that Grand Ar
my of heroes remains. Battle SCARED
and enfeebled by age they have come
to the border of the grave. They are
waving the old flag sad farewell as
they depart for the land of eternal
peace.
Have they all been sufficiently re-
Quilted for services rendered? Nothing
could be more violent to the beautiful
principles represented by Old Glory,
than to permit one of its manned or
superannuated defenders to become a
victim of want, or even to neglect to
shield them from anxiety in regard to
livelihood, or to deny them the
legitimate pleasures that sweeten the
sunset of life.
In somewhat sentimental way, /
have insinuated that the government
is guilty of neglect to the soldiers. /
will now go further and say that it j.,
my positive belief that our govern
ment is guilty of shameful neglect to
some old soldiers, while on others, no
more deserving, 1t is showering undue
wealth and attention, this dark belief
being not mothered either by envy or
jealousy. 1t was forced upon me by
incidental observation, and the action
of the government in connection with
my fathers death. l even made a
conscientious effort to suppress its
growth, but when the government
positively refused to pay the three
months wages that was due my faith
er when he departed, this belief sud.
denly developed into hideous, unwel-
come weed that exhales venom
which would be most poisonous to
my patriotism, were it not for the fact
that / know that the act was an in.
suit to the flag in defence of which
my father fought and was manned for
life, as we'll at it is an an act of base
injustice to my father.
By way of justifying these remarks
let me ask you to compare the long
and anxious pleading and waiting Of
some poor widow for the meager sum
of six dollars per month, to the rank
and foolish exuberance that followed
the death of General LawtOD, Dew.
ey's vitory at Manila. and the Hob
son episode with the Merrimac.
| was told not long since by we'll
informed old veteran that some states
are doing more for the old soldier thar
are others. due to the influential inter
vention of their representatives il
congress.
Where is the blame? If we lack
adequate laws, the delinquency il
with congress. If we have adequate
laws to prevent this subtle injustice
then the blame lies with incompetent
executives. The New Zealand law!
ara more liberal to aged citizens
though they never served under thu
Union Jack, than are our laws to aget
soldiers, disabled in the struggle t.
save the glory of the stars and stripes

Headstones for Dead Soldiers.

Another impressive proof of the
growing solidarity of the country is
furnished by the announcement that
the war department will buy head
stones and mark the graves of cap
tured confederate soldiers and sailors
who died while held in hospitals and
prisons. The fact that the order to be
given will call for 10000 such head
stones indicates the magnitude of the
undertaking, and also emphasizes
anew the extent OF the sacrifice made
during the civil war, says Troy Times
To the hundreds of thousands of union
soldiers and sailors who gave up their
lives must be added an equal If not
greater number from the south who
perished in defense of the confederacy.
But 1t is all over. and kindly gov
ernment, rejecting the temper of the
people from whom it derives its pow
ers, recalling that those who fought in
gray as well as those In blue were
Americans and that their valor gave
them fame which is a common heri-
tage, takes this method of showing ap-
probation.
