Some Points on Pensions.

Editor National Tribune: Congress
has adjourned, and not one of the pro-
posed pension bills was enacted into
law, yet there were many fair promises
made by many of the United States
Senators and members of the House
that some of the bills would be passed.
The passing of such a large numbe? of
private pension bills is not done in
fairness. Some of them are given to
undeserving men. Their passage no
doubt influences many members of
Congress to take no action on any
general or classified pension laws;
therefore the many deserving men go
unrewarded while others less deserving
have the Government aid. President
RooSereits age pension order did all
that was in his authority to do, but Ii
was not exact justice to all. Many de-
serving men who are younger will have
to live several years before they can
receive the highest rating allowed un-
der that law. Many who should have
received higher ratings have died. while
others will not live until the age re-
1uired, rs years, to receive the highest
rating. $40 per month. The old dis
ability law is a just and equitable one,
but the requirements under rulings by
the Secretary Of the Interior and the
Commissioners of Pensions made it i'm
possible for very many deserving men
to receive the ratings which they were
justly entitled to. The ex-soldiers and
sailors must admit that the per diem
service pension bill was really just
one, and that the $50 per month bill is
not a just measure. Exact justice will
never be had. We served our country
thru the principle of patriotism, and
thought not of pensions. We were
glad when the war closed. We became
law-abiding citizens. Many have been
lawmakers. more than few have been
Presidents. Governors and Judges,
while others have been prominent and
efficient in professions and business. We
did our duty. Has the Government

statement of w. G. lie Due, Hastings

IS, that the 4th u. S. Cav. were in ad-
vance and charged the bridge at Pu-

4th u. S. Cav. was not there, and that
the 5th Iowa Cay. alone made the
charge, took the bridge, put out the
fire and held it until Wilson came dou-
bie-quick with a force TO hold it Com
rade Williams knows this to be a fact,
as his regiment was in the advance that
morning, Dec. 25. 1864. and he was one
of five in the advance guard. AS the
sun rose they were fired on by the rebel
rear guard, just as they came over the
hill. They could see Hoods army
crossing the bridge. When Col. Bird
saw what the rebels were doing he led
the charge thru the town onto the
bridge. Comrade Williams says these
facts can be easily verified.
