and the strong defense of the pensioner its ita organs organ and sand its talk talking ilig agents have been denouncing the present administration with more than quinine bitterness for purging the pension rolls and in that way effecting a saving in the public expenditures with unbounded ferocity they have assailed the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of pensions as the implacable enemies of those who laid down their arms and legs and other portions of their abato my in defense of their country bearing these things in mind let us see how this republican congress has saved

difference between the totals it will be seen is this is the net saving but it will also be observed that the difference between the two appropriations is that is this house saves on pensions iwa more than it saves sa v es on all six bills including the pension bill it actually votes totes hway away about more for other purposes while saving nearly on pensions this from the party which berates the present administration for saving on pensions is particularly good if this is all the republicans can find to brag of at this stage ot of the proceedings I 1 ings how avi will it be when the session
