Courts to Decide on Confederate
Pensions.

The poor old Confederates are
having a hard time getting the
small pension of $40 a month
voted them by the last Legisla-
ture. The act provides a resi-
dence in the State of at least five
years, years service in the war
between the States, or until the
close of the war, precludes a pen
sion to veterans worth as much
as $1,000 in property. or an in
come of $500 a year, and those
with wives able to support them.
or are themselves capable of
making a living. 1t takes much
time and considerable expense to
prove up a claim, as the facts
are not always easily procurable.
Up to this time nothing has
been paid on them, as there is
no money in the treasury avail
able for the purpose, and it looks
now like they will be held up by
the slow processes of the courts.
The bonding companies, which
make Auditor Bosworth's bond,
have raised the question of valid
ity of the claims, and that official
has referred it to Attorney Gen
eral Garrett, who will, of course,
pass the question up to the
courtsffor final adjudication.
There are several provisions in
theconstitution which seem to be
against the pension law, but this
one is relied on by the DIRECTORS.
The Bill of Rights provides;
"that nosgrant of exclusive sep
arate public emoluments or priv
ileges shall be made to any man
or set of men except in consider
alton of public service. Ii
States which have granted pen
sions to;the Confederate veter-
ans where a similar constitution
al provision exists, the question
has been.settled in favor Of the
old soldiers. But the question is
different in Kentucky. The
States to seeded from the Union
and were a part of the Confed-
eracy. Military service for the
States, whereas Kentucky did
not secede and Confederate SER
vice may not be regarded as the
service necessary to overcome
the constitutional prohibition.
There are also other sections
in the basic law which some
think will conflict with the
Legislative enactment, especially
that which prohibits class legisla-
ton. 1t may, therefore, be a
long time hence before the poor
old fellows get their pittance
that a grateful and sympathetic
people.desire they should enjoy.
Many of them are in need of the
necessities of life, and it is a
shame that they should be deni-
ed a decent support, when the
government is so liberal with
those who responded to the call
of arms. 1t is to be hoped that
the question can be satisfactorily
settled and the veterans of the
lost cause receive their just due.
