Pensions of Confederates

IL has been so many years ago
since southern orators and politicians
proudly boasted that the confederate
veteran receives no pension and
scorned to receive money for having
served his country as a matter of duty
and patriotism. That sort of high
sounding talk has been silenced, says
the Nashville American. Every south
ern state pays pensions to confederate
veterans, and it is entirely proper that
they should. But what a change in
sentiment the years have wrought,
