In common parlance it means the amount paid to ex-soldiers Some consider a pension to an old soldieras agratuity without con sideration, an. offering of charity. Others regard the pensions paid to our old soldiers as recompense for services rendered, the public, the fruits of which service the public is yet receiving benefits It has ever been ihe policy of the United States to pension its disabled Boldiers during their lives. For a long time the dis ability to entitle, to a pension in the United St'ites, must have originated during the military sorvice of the recipient, but oi late years disability from old age or other cause after discharge entitles to a pension. The first pension act of Con gress bears date August 26, 1776, but thei'e grew up some opposi tion to the national government pensioning volunteers or troops furnished by the (tales and in 1785 Congress recommended that I be se voi al states provide for invalid soldiers. But on the adoption of our preseut constitu tion the idea of nationality be came more pronounced and in 1789 and 1808 the United Stales asmiutd the pension obligations of several states. The Coin missionerof Pensions in his report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, gives the total amount paid by the United States for pensions up io that dute at $3,179,717,161 05 which was divided among 3,304,0011 military and naval participants in all our wars. The year 1902 was pension's high tide; with 1,000,732 nuracs on the pension rolls. On July 1, 1903. there were 990,545 pen ioners and on July 1, 1904, there were 994,762 a felling off of 1,783 during the year; notwith standing President Roosevelt's order, about which the Demo crats made such a fuss, to con sider every old soldi'T 70 years old as unable to work for a liv ing, and therefore entitled to a pension . During the past year 47,374 Dispatches bearing date from Union will bear closer inspec tion from our readers the next few days than those ' iiom Po-t Arthur. This last bit of sharp practice on the part of Union to disfran chise seventy per cent of the voters of Union county will not meet with the hearty approval of Ihe tax payers aud voters who by their votes last June expressed their tenet that La Urande is the better place for the county seat of government. The Amer ican spirit of fair play and re gard for majority rule which j permeates the Union county citizens will not take a pleasant view of this movement on the part .of our sister town.
