On all trains women and children

Cleveland's Pension Eccord-
The Spirit and some of our Demo.
cratic friends bubble over with en
thusiasm at President Cleveland's
"liberal" pension policy, as disnlnv
ed in Commissioner Black's annual
reiiort. They point with nride to
the fact that the President had ap
proved I ,:09 private pension bills up
to the 30th of June last, as niraiust
41 for Lincoln. 431 for Johnson. 490
for Grant, 303 for Hayes, and 73(1 for
Uarheld and Arthur. Thus an at
tempt is made to show that Mr.
Cleveland is more friftidlv In tlm
soldiers than Republican Presidents
were.
It is not easy to see how Mr.
Cleveland deserves any credit for tho
increased number of private pension
bills passed bv Con lTt'CHM find wi-nf tn
him for approval, most of w hich bills
were introduced by Republican
members. The annual averaire of
such bills passed by Congress in
creased from 75 under Hayes to 184,
or more than twice the number, nn.

course not responsible. He should
be judged by the number vetoed
rather than tho number signed.
