A NEW IJkWNOW IN Fokd«r * Washington, June 9.--The President has approved the act of congress pro­ viding that pensions heretofore or hereafter granted to widows of sol- lders of the war of the rebellion shall oommence at the date of the death of their husbands. This legislation favorably affects all claims of widows ol the late war which have been filed in the pension ofloe on or after July 1, 1880, and which have boon allowed to commenoe from the date of the filing of thejclalme, but will not favorably afioot esses of such widows as were filed before Jnly 1. 1880. The com­ missioner of pensions gives notice ** lMr * • ' "N. * • m claims already allowed no formal ap­ plications will be required, and that the servloe of attorneys Will not bo necessary. Widows entitled, under said law, need only write a letter giving the name, postoffice address and certificate number, and the claims will be allowed with as little daisy as practicable.,; •. . I*o itMim [ ! General Painter was a soldier In war times. Joe Fifer has been a great soldier in peace. There is a great deal of difference between a soldier in war and a soldier In peace. The soldier In war fills a long felt want. The peace warrior Is noisy and useless. * When fighting was to bo done the name of Palmer was a household word la the West. He was In the fight and his deeds of valor were reoltod by every tongue. Fifer's deeds of valor have all been heard of since 1884, when bo moved on the pension office. These two soldiers are fairly repre­ sentative. The people of Illinois will have an opportunity this year to dem­ onstrate which type they like best.-- McHenry County Democrat, God pity the thing who oeaoocted or Wd printed the above base and despicable falsehood as far as concerns one of the parties referred The swell head who does to.-- the old veteran business for the Democrat and designates some pension shrieking or misstatement of facts, article which he prints about once or twice a moat a, soldiers department, although yet quite young in year*, seems too old to learn anything. It ia gonerally con­ sidered and allowed that any person should not be blasted for what they do not know, but in a oase like the oao In question it is a hard matter to de> termlne between the fool and the knave, and in our private opinion publicly expressed ire tblnk It Is a combination of the two. Comrade J. W, Flfer enlisted in the U. S. service August 15th, 1861 in Company C. 33rd Illinois Infantry Volunteers, He was only 15 years of age and was present with his regiment on all its marches. In all its engagements till when at Jaoksoo, Miss, after the memorable obarges on, and the siege of Vlcks- burg, together with the battles of Grand Guif, Fort Gibson, and Cham­ pion Hill, while oharglng the rebel entrenchments, he fell pieroed by a mlnnie ball which went through one lung, and at the time and for weeks | thereafter was supposed to be mortally wounded by his oomrades who had learned to love him as a brother. His strong and robust constitution carried him through however, and the moment he was able he returned to hisregl imentand served nearly to the close of the war or for some months after his term of enlistment bad expired The records show that comrade Flfer did good servioe, was ever faithful, and ready to perform all duties assigned him and he never "sulked in his tentN nor left his post of doty In the face of tbe enemy, and In the midst of one of the greatest campaigus of the war as did General Palmer. This latter we should never have mentioned bad not this young Bayo­ net Points been so anxious to draw the comparison he either wrote|or copied. From tbe size of it we believe auch emanated from his classic brain, for it sounds and reads similar to his foolish and unpatrlotio utterances. Comrades read what Capt. John E. Beekley thinks of an individual who would write or print such as article as tbe one we quote. A Base Slander. Editor Soldier» Department McHenry PlaindecUer. DEAR SIR AWD COMRADK.--Being a reader of several McHenry County papers I recently noticed a short par- graph In the McHenry County Demo­ crat under the caption of "Two Soldiers" which for pure undulterated, contemptible baseness, must win for Its author an enviable reputation among tbe Copperhead element of tbe Democratic party, by comparing the Military service of General J. M. Palmer and private J. W. Fifer. The insinuations are so oowardly and contemptible, when referring to tbe noble and Patriotic record of private Fifer, that tbe English language is entirely deficient in expletives that will properly define the verdant im­ becile that penned them. No, we are proud to recognize in the military servioe of both of these Patriots, the genuine elements of uThe Volunteer Soldier. The one in manhood's early years responded to his country's call and .was furnished a horse to ride, with liberal pay for his servioes, while h& led bis men where leaden ball and bursting shell were much too numerous for enjoyment, while the other, in his youthful dsys, likewise heard bis country's call for help, for men to carry and use the engines of war. for men to stand upon tbe lonely picket post, and tbe dangers iaoldent to armed treason, for men ti breast the murderous fire of fortified Rebels, for men possessed of pairtetlssi enough to defend ,4Our Country's Flag," for the small pittanee of thirteen dollars per month, of money worth fifty cents en the dollar, for men (possessed of saffieteal respect and love tor tbo Free 'Iastftatilns of our country,) willing le maifth through summer's dust and winter's and, heat and cold, through •bine and storas. fell* all tbe parapheraalies eif war.
