PENSIONERS
OF the Federal Government
Are Not All Civil War
Veterans.

EDITORS of. the Telegram: i.'i5
In recent years there seems to be
much comment upon the liberailty
OF our government in the matter or
pension5ag the old veterans OF. the
Civil war; and we who have been
the benefciaries of Uncle Sans"
generosity are not unappreciatiye of
the great benefit 1t has been to those
OF us who have been disabled by age
and infrmitles. But the fact is we
arc given credit for receiving more
from the government than We really
do receive. 1T is very often remark
ed that 1.-THE old vets are reported
to be dying or at a rapid rate, but
the list Of pensioners does not gel;
any smaller" If these complainsrs
would inform themselves they would
find that large portion of the pei.
sions is made up of the Spanish
American soldiers; and 1t may not be
generally known that eighty per
cent of all the soldiers Of that little
war are now on the pension rolls:
and until the age aid service pension
law OF last May was passed, most o:
them drew ::arger pensions than the
.Ctgil war venteran, and very few or
them saw any real military service
to tn1qre them: Yet enc seldom
hears any one obiecting to them be-
ing pensiohed, as we do the Civil war
veterans, many of whom endured
more hardships and suffering in one
day than the other class did in their
six months service. q know of three
Civil war veterans living in THIS
county, each of whom served with
me nearly three years, participants
in many battles and endured the
hardships of many campaigns. one
of them was wounded three times
and is now rs years old, yet never
could get but 1912 per month until
the new law became effective last
year. Another one OF them, wno
saw as much service, and has been
an invalid for several years, was
only drawing SIS month when
saw him last fall. The other one,
who went through it all with a
term in Libby prison thrown in. was
caly drawing $12 until very recent
~.
l mention ms fact because most
Of the young soldiers of the Spanish
American war with whom Il have
conversed upon the subject, were
drawing from SIS to $40 per month.
Your readers have noticed TINT
an unusual large amount of private
pension bills have been enacted dur,
ing the last two sessions Of Com
gress, and our own John W. Davis
has gained much notoriety in the
large number he has secured for
constituents of his district; ami
many began to wonder at the deep
interest he was manifesting for the
old vets, but when the matter was
run down 1t was not hard to discover
that the most OF his clients were not
