1nequ.l,t,e. of ren.Io. Laws.

Editor National Tribune: Why is il
that so much is being said and done to
increase the pensions of the soldiers
who have disabilities which had their
origin since the war. and those who
have wounds or disabilities as a result
of their service are not considered any
more? Any honorably discharged SOL
dier who served 80 days and is IS years
old now gets more pension than is al
lowed for a total disability resulting
from army service. Widows who were
married before June 81, 1890, get the
same rate as one who was the soldiers
wife while he was a soldier and was
killed in battle or afterward died of
wounds or disease contracted in the
service and in line of duty A soldier
who belonged to the army 90 days and
is 20 or 75 years old gets more pension
than many younger ones get who served
four or five years of faithful service.

for more than 40 years suffered by

equalities or unfairness of the present
pension system.
I might further say that one who

by reason of sickness or disease Is dis
abled to degree equivalent to the loss
of hand or a foot gets but $50 per
month. L claim that our next Congress
should appoint committee to closely
examine the present rates and grades
of pension, and more equal justice
could easily be arranged. I am not
intending this as a growl or a kick,
but 1 have talked with many of my
comrades regarding these matters, and
all with whom 1 have talked agree with
me that long and ardent service, loyal
ty and much suffering do not seem to
have much to do with the rates of pen
sion which we get. Those who enlisted
as old men seem to have got the start
in pension rates over the boys who
were but IA to 20 years old. My ex-
perience was that the boys made the
best soldiers. I did not know boy

49 Porter street, Lynn, Mass.
The 9Th N. Hone of Fox's Fight
ing Regiments'-was organized at
Keene, Nov. %, 1861, and finally mus
tered out July II. 1865. 1t was COM
manded successfully by Coils. Nelson
Converse, Simon G. Griffin, and Phin-
cas- p. Bixby. At Manassas the 9Th
fought in Nagle's Brigade. Reno's Di-
vision, and out of a total Of $50 en-
gagged lost so killed, lit wounded and
20 missing In 1863 it went to Mis-
sissippi with the Ninth Corps, where it
participated in the siege operations
about vicksburg and Jackson, and in
the Spring rejoined the Army of the
Potomac in Virginia. 1t took the field
under Grant in May, 1864. as part
of Gen. S. G. Griffin's Brigade. Potter's
Division. In the siege of Petersburg
the regiment occupied a very exposed
position in the trenches and lost men
daily. 1t was under fire constantly, and
the nervous strain and fatigue were
terrible. 1t belonged to Potter's Divi-
sion, Ninth Corps, and out of a total
enrolment of 2,574 (incIuding recruits)
it lost 1877 killed and 231 from disease,
etc.
The 61st Mass. was organized in the
State at large in August, September
and October. 1864, and mustered out
July 16, 1865. 1t was commanded by

charged June 4. 1865, and at the time

CHAIRMAN VORYs.
Past Department Commander Harmnr
Defends Him Against AspersiOns.

Editor National Tribune: The writer
of the article THE Presidential Cam
paign" in The National Tribune of July
80 speaks so disrespectfully and, I feel,
untruthfuliy of Mr.. A. l. Vorys, that as
a matter of justice it ought to be cor
rected. On the first page the writer
says:
"At last he appears to have gotten
the stubborn and quarrelsome Arthur L.
Vorys out of the way" Among Mr..
VOrys's friends this would amount TO
nothing, but your columns have given it
a wide circulation among those who do
not know him. In the next column the
writer almost stultifies himself, and un-
Willingly pays Mr.. Vorys high compli-
ment:
Mr. Taft Is as confident
of election as he was of the nomination
three months before the Chicago Con-
vention met" Mr.. Vorys had brought
about the conditions for that confidence,
and has more than any other man
brought about the conditions for his
confidence in his election now.
In the solidification of Ohio Mr.. Vorys
proved that he was great organizer.
The State had a powerful faction, well
organized and ably led, that was op-
posed, yet the vote of the State went
nearly solid for Taft.
Upon Mr.. Vorys'S return after the
nomination his friends from Columbus,
Athens, other cities and his home as
semb1ed by thousands and gave him Il
grand welcome Glad hands greeted
him from all points, regardless of poll
tics. There can be only three reasons
for so stigmatizing Mr.. Vorys: l.
Jealousy, a mean, unreasonable senti-
ment that cannot be explained. 2. Ig-
norance. For them we will exercise
charity. 8. The egotistic, the awfully
smart fellow, the man who knows too
IL, fsaV ANN~Fs
whose advice is so full of wisdom, so
very learned and seff-evident that the
man who would not accept could not be
otherwise than stubborn and quarrel
some" to him.
1 have known Mr.. Vorys over "a
years have been his physician; he Ahas
been my attorney; have met him under
never found him stubborn or quarrel
some" I have found him generous,
sympathetic and charitable. Allow me
to Illustrate: Not many years ago an
old soldier of four years service, whom
1 well know, who thought he was not
getting the pension his disabilities en-
titled him to, appealed to Mr.. Vorys-
After hearing his statement he took the
number of the pension certificate and
other needed facts, and told the veteran
he would see about 1t. Within few
days Mr.. Vorys went down to Washing
ton, saw the Commissioner, who gave
him the papers in the case, which he
examined Then the Commissioner
said: MIR. Vorys, we want to do justice
to your soldier friend. / will call a
special meeting of the Pension Examin-
ing Board with instruction to admit you
to the examination and send the appli-
cant a special order to appear" All Fl
which was done. The old comrade did
not know that Mr.. Vorys had gone to
the trouble and expense to go to wash

behalf until he saw him in the room

Comrade James E. Ehler is talking

the Sixteenth Corps did not capture

did not help at Fort Blakely. Gen.
Steel commanded division; Gen. John
c. Black was in command of brigade
of the Thirteenth Corps at Blakely, in

comrade of Co. B, 95th ILL.,, was at Fort

that was captured they started over to

where was the fort on the west side of
the road leading into Fort Blakely ?

Only two battalionS of the regiment
took part in this engagement, the Sd
battalion having been ordered on de-

ter of bank notes by laws which were
afterward developed into our present
National bank system. The protection
of bank deposits is purely local mat
ter. is absolutely within the police pow
ers of the States, and to invade those
police powers in this respect is flagrant
imperialism, and cannot help but lead
to Ccsarism in this country. The
Cesars. however, never extended their
power to such an extent as Mr.. Bryan
proposes. They contented themselves
with securing the peace of the country,
and the exertion of their despotic power
to reward their friends, punish their
enemies and squeeze as much money out
of the people as possible. They never
dreamed of such an effective way of
squeezing as would come into vogue
when all the money of the people would
be under the control of Cesar ~in
Washington, and could be manipulated
at his unrestrained will in such way
as to inure to the greatest profits for
himself and clique.
