but the left is yet blind and she cannot
do anything but the Iightest work She
was living on rented farm with five
small children when her husband en-
listed in the army. She had to struggle
along as best she could and support
herself and children. the Oldest of whom
was a girl only 13 years old. She has
been receiving a pension of So per

Godsend to her.
r. N Bragg. 5th n. H. Oxford. N. Y.
thinks that the discrimination against
widows by the act of June 81. 1890, was
not lawful. for it was in conflict with
the Constitution. A marriage made 10
minutes before that act became a law
would allow the woman pension,
while a woman married 10 minutes
after. who has taken in washing for II
years to support herself and her veteran
husband. is denied any relief. If the
committee cannot agree. why not pro-
pose a compromise to the effect that all
widows who have lived with and cared
for their husbands for five years prior
to their deaths should be pensioned?
After reading the open letter in The
National Tribune. Mrs. Susan Allen.
whose husband served in the I'd Cal,
hesitates to express her opinion of the
man who has so low an opinion of
American womanhood as to charge that
young girls are marrying old men for
the sake of their pensions. She fears
she might say something unladyiike.
Mrs. J. Gerard, East Livermore

deserves pension more than the first

youth. while the second had to nurse
him thru his declining years and last

claims should be respectfully consid-

Too Hnrd On Burnside.

James Watson, Brighton, Tex, is
much interested in the history of the
Army of the Potomac, but thinks we
are a little hard on Burnside in regard
to Fredericksburg. Both those above
and below him failed to meet his rea-
sonable expectations. 1t seemed to be
proven at the time that Halleck had
promised to have the pontoons on the
ground to meet his advance, which
would have placed an entirely different
face on the battle if there had been any
battle there. Again. had his subordi-
mates been up to their work there is no
reason why the troops should not haze
passed over and driven the sharpshoot-
ers away before daylight, just as well
as they did in the afternoon. If there
had been a soldier in Franklin's place.
and he had made use of the 60.0 un-
der his command. it might have placed
Burnside on the pinnacle of great
success.
