tue subject of pensions, said: "As far as pensions are concerned there is not a man on the pension rolls to-day who was not placed there honestly and 'just as the pension laws icqnired him to be. If yoit lind a man drawing a pension illegally the government considers it your duty to report that mnn. The . A. It. is just as anxious for the enforcement of the laws now as it was in 18(11-05. Nothing has occurred since then to changeits views. We object to anyone assailing the entire pension roll without, citing a single ease. It generally occurs that those who assail the pension rolls were not in tho army on either side. The membership nf the Ü. A. U. is always lojral." OBITUARY.
