The government that starts pay ing pensions starts something 1t cannot finish.
 Thousands of Civil War veterans who were alive twenty years ago are now dead. But the amount paid now by the government as pensions is far greater than 1t was twenty years ago.
 This Is due to the fact that the amount paid each veteran has greatly increased. and the amount paid each dependent has greatly increased.
 And the number of dependents in that twenty-year period, has iE- creased.

The following is official:

The following IS official:
 Twenty years ago there were 739,443 soldiers and 260,003 de- pendents on the pension rolls.
 Now there are only 256,91s sol diers Ca decrease of 4S2, 2,525) and 290,09S dependents Gan increase of S0,O95) on the pension rolls.
 Twenty years ago the average soldier pension was $11.34 per month; the average dependent pension was s1O.11.
 Today the average soldier pen sion is $44.47; and the average de- pendent pension s2925 per month.
 Twenty years ago the govern ment paid in pensions each month to soldiers sS,3S5, ,0S362; to depend ents. S2.62S,630.33, or total of s11,018, ,713.95.
 Today the government pays in pensions each month to soldiers S11,425. 5.123.4S; to dependents, sS,- 4S5, ,366.50, or total of S19,910,- 4S9.9S.
 In other words, despite the great number of soldiers who died dur ing the last twenty years, the gov eminent today pays about ss,000,- 900 per month more than it paid twenty years ago.
 There Is a suspicion that in tho matter of dependents the govern ment has been swindled in vast sums for many years. But, politi- cally speaking, pensions is a deli cate subject. Congressmen con stantly endeavor to secure ir- creases in pensions received by their constituents, and the mem Der who scratches this ones back today will find, tomorrow, some one to scratch his own back.
 In the meantime, the govern ment foots the bill, and the South ern states, which have nothing to do with the situation, save to aid in paying the bill, must bear it's proportion of the general burden.
 Only last session Senator Good ing of Idaho put through a bill Increasing pensions, It was op- posed, of course. by a few indivfd- uals. But opposition was weak. The president, however, vetoed the bill, and 1t lacked sufficient strength to pass notwithstanding that veto.
 Gooding, who fought for the Fordney- McCumber tariff, as hard boiled a proposition as was ever devised. shed tears copiously when reterring to the old vets.

Custer and his entire command
were wiped out by the Sioux In
dams. 1t is written by Sergeant
John Ryan, who served in Gus
ter's regiment, the Seventh cav
airy, for 10 years, and who was
with Major Reno's command,
when Custer, few miles away,
was making the stand that I'M
mortaIized him and his men.
Reno, accused of cowardice for
not having gone to Clusters aid,
was cashiered from the army
and died in disgrace. Ryan's
narrative, giving hitherto un-
published details, indicates that
it would have been impossible
for Reno to have given Custer
any assistance, even had he
known of Clusters danger, as
Reno's command was desperate
Iy aSsailed, and was in fair
way to be exterminated itself.
Ryan was top sergeant with
Reno in the last of the big bat

in numerous engagements with
Indians in southeastern Mon
