WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

"GGehsf-4rtttaH AAafdeek has +Htre-
duced bill before Congress to allow
all Union soldiers a pension OF 81 per
day Tor the length OF time they We're
confined In Confederate prisons dur.
ing the civil war rs prisoner OF war.
The bill will probably be reported
upon iavorsbly "
The above is the substance OF a
news item going the rounds OF the
press. A litse later the following
dispatch il sent out from Washing
ton, headed "Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee
Penniless."
Washington, May 15.-An earnest
but ineffective appeal was made In
the house today by Richardson OF
Alabama and Jones OF Virginia for
pension OF $50 a month to Ellen
Bernard Lee, widow OF General Fisz-
hugh Lea. Both described Mrs. Lee 8
present financial conditlon, and brlei-
ly recounted the services which her
husband rendered the government,
not only as consul general to Cuba,
but as al officer Of the army. MIR.
Richardson told the house that Mrs.
Lees sole support was out OF thepsy
OF her son, Captain Fitzhugh Lee OF
the army.
When the first article is read by
one In whose breast there is feeling
OF patriotism, the reader Is inclined
TO hope that such bill will pass.
The gallant gentlemen who support
their country In time OF need, and
probably at cost which nothing
but a love OF the mother country
would induce them to undertake, Ger.
tainly deserve all the benefits which
q grateful country can bestow upon
not only them but also their widows,
and who can say that our Union
veterans OF the Civil War are not
5ountliully cared for?
Now compare the second dispatch
With the first. When we bear the
contents OF the first dispatch in mind
and read that ineffective appeal" was
made for pension to the widow OF
General Fitzhugh Lee, who is In des.
situte circumstances, a feeling OF be-
wilderment comes over us and We
wonder II there is not an injustice be-
Ing done to the people OF the United
States, to whom belongs the money
which is being paid out by the gov
eminent In pensions.
Why should the widow of General
Fitzhugh Lee be refused a pension?
She is 10 destitute circumstances;
