and men were wiped out, but special
acts were passed with officers widows

When Senator McCumber became a
member of the committee on pensions
he determined to do justice to the dis
abled soldier, and to equalize and ad-
| just their pensions. He caused to be
adopted as a rule governing the PEN
sion committee that in cases of desti-
tuition there should be no distinction
between officers and men, that the des-
titute private or his widow should re-

destitute private major general or his
widow In the F!fty- seventh congress
he secured the enactment OF the age
pension bill under which it is Orgy

The pension policy of the United

Washington, and the pension is as
much the soldiers due as was the SAL
Ary and the allowance for clothing and
fations and radical attendance re-
seived by him during the war. When
Abraham Lincoln called for the first
Suota. of $4,000 men the loyal sons of
the republic responded, confident that
Khe government would do justice to
lhem, to their widows and orphans.
For a long time the pensions stood
ut So per month for the enlisted men,
his for second lieutenants, SIT for first
feutenants, $21 -cr captains, SIS for
majors and $50 for officers of higher
rrade, for disability incurred in the
service. and at the same rate for their
widows. where it could be shown that

Wounds received in the service, pro-

Enlisted men ranged from 50 per month
