The trouble arises from the difficulty In getting fair considera­ tion. Our only h.ipe In this condition of affairs is Mr. Randall, of Pennsylva­ nia.

The bondholders lent the Govern­ ment depreciated promises to pay dollars worth about 35 cents on the dollar. #hen ^^^rtfiiott settf¥d~~ui$ with them it magnanimously decided to pay them in gold dollars worth 100 cents. That Is, it repaid tbem about three times what It borrowed from tbem. Every year the average soldier was in tin army he gave tbe Government sevices that would have commanded outside of tbe army about 9600. For these the Government paid him about •190. To treat bins as fairly as tho bond­ holder has been treated, hd would be entitled to about 9400 more for every year be served, or 81,200 for three years' service. Multiplying this by 2,320,272, tbe number of men in the army reduced to a three years, standard, we have #2,794,326,400, or nearly four tidies as uuch as the total expenditures for pensions up to date. Every dollar of this sum is just as much due--to say tbe least--tbe soldiers, as tbe differ ence between 3$ cents and 100 eents was due the man who lent the Govern­ ment money, Until the Government has paid tbe veterans as liberally as It has tbo bondholders, no one has a right to complain of the size of tho pension bills --National Tribune. .^.v.

After having left him undisturbed for some time, I thought it necessary to put a stop to his proceedings, and selecting two of my Infantrymen who had been pointed out totnae as th» best shots, I made across the iopen space In front of our lines directij toward b!m. Arriving within reason­ able distance I ordered my sharp­ shooters to fire at the daring colonel, who was moving along at an easy gallop, wltboat paying mo the sllghest attention. After ;several bullets bad whistled quite close to bim, he suddenly halted, and, turning round, advanced a few steps and made me a military salute in the most graceful manner. Then calling to one of his men to hand him carbine, he raised the weapon, took deliberate aim lit me, and sent his ball so close to my head that 1 thought it bad carried away a lock of my bair. I saluted him now on my part, and, wheeling round quietly, both of as rode back to onr respective lines. Only Nervona.
