PENSION LAWS: Old soldiers who believed the “gush" given them by republican spellbinders during the last campaign now have an opportunity to make up , their minds as to who told the truth and who tried to keep their promises, j One of the first things done by the ; sixty-first congress when they met in ( December was the presentation of a ( pension bill, which would have increased the pay to every old soldier to one dollar a day. Ninety-nine per cent of the voters of thie land want the old soldier pensioned and they want him to receive somewhere near what he deserves and what will make easier for him the closing days of his life. t The bill passed the lower house of congress on January 10th and Congressman Adair did his share toward getting it through. Then it went to the senate, where it met opposition by Senator McCumber, republican, and Senator Lodge, republican, and they succeeded in killing it a few days ago. An still they have the nerve to travel up and down the land during a | political campaign and tell the people ■ that the southern democrat will not' vote for a pension bill. While this matter is fresh, every old soldier can investigate and he will find that this * bill was killed by northern republicans and not by southern democrats. Mr. Adair writes his old soldier friends that while he is disappointed, he is not ( discouraged, and will take up the fight at the next session. The news that Congressman Adair has succeeded in securing the passage of a special pension bill through congress and the senate, and that at a time when the greatest filibuster in years was on, that will give to Miss Adele Barnett, the daughter of an old Civil war veteran, a pension of twelve dollars per month, will be received with pleasure by the friends and acquaintances of this estimable lady. It but again proves the wortn and ability and loyalty to his constituency of Mr. Adair. We might add that much aid was given to the congressman by Judge James T. Merryman, to whom also is much of the credit due. PERCHERON Stallions and Shetland ponies, cheap. Stephen Lyle, White Cottage, Ohio.
