AID FOR CONFEDER
ATE SOLDIERS.
Chief Justice Clark Favors the Prop
osition-Such a Bill Was Intro
duced i'm the Senate BY Senator
Butler But Was Opposed BY South
ern Politicians.
The Lincolnton Times. ]

| The Lincolnton Times.
Chief Justice Clark in his address
at Charlotte is quoted as advocating
| giving pensions to the Confederate
soldiers by the Federal Government.
| Why not? Does not the South pay
its part Of the pension money given
| by this Government? Do not the
sons and grandsons of this South
| land form as patriotic citizens as sons
of the Union soldiers? If the United
people, why may not all of the aged
veterans of each side be treated
alike?-Catawba County News
And to this ointment we heartily
agree. But we will remind The News
that ia all probability every Confed-
crate veteran in the South would
have been drawing a Federal pension
| fifteen years past had it not been for
the opposition of the Democratic pol
iticians of the South.
Hon. Marion Butler, while he was
in the United States Senate, intro
duced a bill to pension Confederate
veterans alike with Union soldiers
The bill was in a fair way of passing,
but the Democracy of the South, both
in and out Of Congress, opposed the
offer, saying, the Southern soldiers
were not beggars, and did not want
Yankee money" This is history
And yet the Democratic party. coddles
the old soldier for his vote, and
would have him believe that it is his
friend, while if they had not opposed
the passage of this law the Confed-
crate veterans of to-day would be re-
| ceiving pension equally substantial
with their brothers who wore the
blue; instead of getting a beggarly
plttance, in the procuring of which
he has to humble himself before
these very politicians who prevented
him from getting the Federal pen
sion, and acknowledge that he is not
capable of earning three hundred dol
lars year. We say, away with such
friendship. Let the Democratic pol
tool for their own selfish end. Be
men ana arise IN your might and say,
1--WE will take the pension" when it
Is offered again, as it most surely
will be in the near future.
The reason for the Democratic pol
iticians spurning the offer Of Federal
pensions to Confederate veterans was
not because they thought the veter-
ans would humble themselves in re-
ceiving them. Their true objection
was that If the Southern veterans
were put on an equal footing with
the veterans of the North it would
break down the sectional feeling, on
which they have traded for forty-four
years, and the Democratic party
would lose votes. This is the true
milk in the cocoanut.

According to a newspaper report,
Senator Tillman the other day got on
a train In this State and offered mile
age for transportation instead Of o

paid his money for the mileage and
he was going TO ride on IL.
Following public utterances OF
Senator TiIlman recently in which he
virtually defies the authority OF the
