The awhrsn of tho lSth Rsflmest Me- eelved Koyatly at Pole, Tuesday, May 24th, the sixth annual reunion ef the gallant 16th Illinois Infantry Regiment of volunteer vet* erans was held in the spacious aisles of Barber's Park, Just west of Polo.-- There was a large attendance and an Interesting program. Col. Swift was the presiding officer, and the address of welcome by Hon. J. D. Campbell was a patrlotlo gem. Capt. A, D. Chllds made tbe response. Among the noted men present and who addressed the comrades, were General Walter Q. Gresham, of tbe U. S. Court at Chi­ cago; Capt. F. H, Marsh, U. S, Mar­ shal; Hon. R. R. Hltt, M, C.; Gen George C. Rogers, the old Colonel of the regiment, now of tbe Pension De partment at Washington; and Lieut. Boha, Superintendent of Taber's sll ver mines, for a long period editor of the LeadvlUe dally Herald. A splen­ did banquet was spread by tbe hospit­ able citizens of Polo. In the evening, Capt. R- Dickson Woolsey made the annual addrose followed J>y several others. The regiment was Invited to bold Its next reunion at Lena, and by unanlmousvote tbe courtesy was accept ed, the 24th of May. 1888, selected as the date.

Some people are fond of repelling every appeal oa behalf ef seme veter­ an for employment, preferment for office, promotion or relief, with "He has his pension hasn't be?" uttered 1b a tone as if that were all In the world man ought to a have, and nothing more could in reason be asked. To the mltid3 of such men the asere word pension Implies a liberal allow­ ance got from the Government with­ out trouble, and sufficient for tbe en* tire support of the recipient and his family. This Idea is fostered and strengthened in ihetr minds by the occasional mention In the papers of thousand® of dollars being paid some man for arrears, etc. But the cold stern fact la that there Is scarcely pension given that represents a tithe --we might say a hundredth--ol the damage done to the pensioner's wage- earning ability by the injury for which he has been pensioned. For example, more than 175,000 pen­ sioners--about two-thirds of the whole number--receive but 88 a month or less, ihe highest that any of them get Is but 26 oents a day, and from this it mas down to six and one-third cents. The mere mention of these snms Is sufficient to shew how utterly Inadequate they are to provide for the oommonest wants of even one Individ- ual, fo say nothing of a family.
