Pensions to Inmates.

Arnold DeIns, 5th Tenn. Cav, Smell
byville, Tenn, disputes one Of our con-
trfbutors who found fault with full pen
sion payments being made TO inmates
or the Soldiers Homes. The comrade
forgets that the veterans have left in
valid wives; daughters. and sometimes
Iranddaughters ana others who need
money. ana it is a work Of self-sacri-
fee on their part to send their little
pensions home to them. In the Noun
tain Home at Johnson City there are
about 125 special-duty men. They earn
from $3.50 to $13 a month, the very
great majority being $S. Nearly every
one of these men sends all these earn
ings as well as his pension to his needy
family. and, even then, they often fail
TO make both ends meet. 1t may have
been in the early history of the Sol
iiers' Homes that there was large
portion Of the bum" class, but these
are pretty well gone. The Mountain
Home is a glorious place. quiet healthy
and well regulated, and better one
cannot be found.

WAS one OF many who have married
since 1890, knowing Of the limitation
and, Ike others, has passed thru great
trials and sorrows from the declining
years OF a veteran husband. She and
her husband were the same age and
were childhood friends. Years brought
changes and old ties were renewed. Her
husband then sUccumbed to softening of
the brain, which came slowly, lasting
four years. Words cannot express the
strain upon her in every way and the
hopelessness of the outlook She is
glad to note words from good, whole
souIed veterans in honor Of women who
did their duty for loves sake without
thought of recompense. She hopes now
that justice viii be done these noble

The Pension KicI,ers

Capt. Will H. s. Banks. 9Th Mich
Cav, Kalamazoo, Mioh., pays his re-
spects most markedly to the kickers
against pensions who have had recent
letters in The National Tribune. It is
outrageous that comrades should throw
obstacles in the way OF their comrades
getting pensions. They must belong to
that favored class of veterans who have
never heard the wolves howiing at their
doors. Comrsde Banks sends q clip
ping from the Kalamazoo Evening
Press as TO James NJ. Anderson, who
was recently sent from that place to
the Soldiers Home, having to be sep
arated from his wife and two sons. An
derson belonged to the 18th Mich, and
served faithfully for two years. Two
Of his brothers were killed az Murfrees-

Editor National Tribune; G. NJ
Ward, 1s4th ". Y, Fulton, N. Y, writes
In The National Tribune in regard to
the volunteer officers retiring bill. He
says that the provision in the bill which
would grant TO enlisted men $50 per
month pension will benefit but few,
while the bill will give to those who
wore commiEsioned officers q much
higher rating. I will say that the COM
missioned ofiicers have very generally
and generously done all that could be
done to assist the enlisted men in PEN
sion laws enacted, in getting rulings
made by the Secretary OF the Interior
and by Commissioners Of Pensions IN
the interest of all ex-soldiers and sail
ors. and generally have expended n
great deal of time and some money to
make out or secure proper required
af!idavits in evidence to secure pensions
for the enlisted men. In many instances
they have assisted in getting special
bills passed by Congress for the enlist
ed men. 1t has been said by some men
who served in the ranks carrying the
musket that the commissioned officers
did not have any rations OF food, while
the enlisted mon had rations; the off,
GERS could not draw rations, but were
compelled TO buy rations Of food from
the Division Commissary, and he with

ParoIed an Accused Veteran

very affecting scene took place in
the Allegheny Court House IN Pittsburg
last week. John Bennett aged II
years. wearing uniform Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, pleaded guilty
to killing Carl Patterson near Eliza
beth last October. and stood up to re-
celve his sentence. Judge Robert s.
Fraser. instead of sentencing the old
man, changed the plea to one OF man
slaughter and released Bennett on pa
role. He said he did this in considera-
tion OF the fact that the mans age and
his service to the country and the char
acter of the offense for which he killed
Patterson. It was for al assault upon
Benefits wife, with whom he had lived
SO years, and the killing was done in
the heat of passion. The Judge thought
that In the end Justice would be met
by paroling the accused to report TO
the probation officer every three
months. He was also required to alb
stain from the use of liquor. Comrade
Bennett returned thanks to the court
and wished 1t Merry Christmas. As
he turned to walk out OF the court
room the Judge noticed that he did not
have an oyercoat, and the weather had
grown colder. Constable Frank Bell

points out that the veterans were very
considerate Of the Government at the
close of the war, whom It was neces-
sary to lift the burden OF the public
debt, and they did not press their
claims-this tho they had already sac
rifced more or less of their, life's pros
poets and could not recall the three or
four years of the very cream OF their
existence which they had given to the
country. Therefore the veteran is just
