is a characteristic republican ans­
wer. The republican platform o f
1896 promised that that the repub­

No really serious effort was made
to fulfill this pledge, although a

Com m issioner o f Pensions W are
recently received an interesting let­
ter from a citizen o f Illinois. This
letter was as follows : “ I am now
getting a pension o f $30 a m onth.
R ecently the lord has prospered me,
and I do not think I should get so
m uch money. I gave m y services
to the country, and I think I should
have some pension, o f course, but I
think $30 a month is to much. Is
there any way J can have m y pen­
sion reduced or suspended while I
enjoy the prosperity that is mine at
present?”
It w ill be observed that this
Illinoisian gave Providence, rather
than the republican party, credit
for his prosperity ; and because o f
this grave offense the administra­
tion m ay refuse to do anything
to give him relief in the way
of a reduction o f his pension.
In all seriousness, however the
letter is somewhat remarkable
and indicates that the author
is a good citizen and one who is not
w illing to accept, even at the hands
o f the governm ent, money which he
does not need.— Commoner.
