Show Tongh Old Irony or Fate. " It was a long stock plea for the retention reten-tion of the Republican party in power that, if the Democrats came into control, they would bankrupt the National Treas-. ury by voting pensions to rebel soldiers. The situation to-day is that the National Treasury is in danger of being bankrupted by reckless pension acts for Union soldiers, sold-iers, and that.the main reliance of Republican Repub-lican taxpayers in the North for salvation from this peril is the opposition to such bills of the "Confederate Brigadiers." There has seldom been a better illustration illustra-tion ol the irony of fate. New York Evening Post. |
