DAILY ENQUIliER • SDN, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1886. B PENSION SCHEMES ft! Pt**nn4 «■( Ika Tkai Will luflua Oblokgo Trlbum J As (he Tribune lDttmated would be the case when the widows' pension bill passed the house and (be repeal oI the arrears limitation was lem porailly shelved, the pension grab has again commenced Id the senate Monday last Mi VanWyck intro duced a still further amendment to lncreaee the pension of widows and dependent relatives of deceased sol diers and sailors His amendment provides tl at minor children shall receive $6 per month when one parer t is deceased and $10 when both are decease!; that he pensionable age shall be extended to elgbteeu years; and that parents shall only be re quired io prove dependence at the time of application for pension. In sober fact, the pension grab is iDSieasing in dimensions that are simply frightful. If the pending legislation iscontumma ed itmeans a burden of taxation on the people of which they have no comprehension, and which will startle them when they realize its full extent. Tne New York Times reoently made a thorough investigation of the vari ous amounts which the congreisional demagogues and the penelon lawyers propose to take out ot the treasury to satisfy d< mauds, some of which have been already met in full, aud for some of which there is not a shadow of claim, no consideration having been rendered. A glance at the flg- u:ee will give the pubi c some idea of the colossal extent of the grab. The widows’ pension bill, wblob has parsed the hr use and will proba bly become a law, involves a cost of $6,166 992 annually. Should the Van Wyck amendment be passed this sum will be still further increased. The repeal i f the limitation in the arrears aot, which was shelved when the widows’ bill passed, but which the same committee has agreed to report as a separate bill, will cost, ao> cordirg to Commissioner B ack’s estimate— s me estimates are still higher—$222,368,000, of which $84,468,300 would have to be paid at once to pensioners put on the rolls since June 30, 1880 The old bill to pension all survivors of the Mexican picnic, which is to be favor ably reported in the bouse, will cost $74 344 000, The bill to pension sur vivors ot the Indian wars is also pending aud will take $28,201 000 more. The bill for the equalization of bounties, it is said, will cos $95, 000,000,tnougb the paymaster-general estimates its cost at $163 OOO.OOO la addition to these grabs, the Times says of other efforts! in the same direction: luiiBfe The question raised by the claim agents concerning the force of the law of 1836, which provides that the widow ol a soldier who died in the service shall receive half her hus band’s monthly pay for live years, will be decided, it is said, by the su-> pretae court. It involves the ex penditure of $53 400,000. Sjverhl representatives have introduced “ser vice” bills providing that every sur viver of the war of the rebellion shall be paid $8 a month. These bills mi y be dismissed with a word, for the nt,- tional encampment of the Grand Army bas ri fused to support them. Rspresentauvi J B Wtaver would not only repeal th- arrears limit, bi t also pay every soldier enough mor.'y to raise bis wt ges to the gold stand ard. He modestly ai ks that $300,- 000,000 shall be appropriated for the scheme. There are also bills, r • garded with more or less favor, grant ing pensiot s to all who were con fined in confederate prisons. To meet these colossal obligations, aggregating probably over $600,000,- 000, with an annual unir cumbered surplus of abcut $25,000,000, Bimply means a huge deficit which must be met by an immense increase of taxa tion, involving the possibility of the reimposition of the income tax. This is not prying pensions; it 1b public robbery. It is a shametul attempt to sqtunder the public money. It is in spired not by gratitude for the ter- vices of soldi r\ t ut by the desire to obtain their votes The country ap preciateB the services of its sol diers, and has never failed to compensate them. I' has been more liberal than any nation on earth in payii g pensions, and it is prepared to do what is just and cquital 1?, but it will not coust nt to the equauiter- ing oi hundreds o( millionsoi dollars, the most ol which will go into the pockets of pensiou sharks, upon those who have no claim to arreara and upon others who have no claim of any kind. The congressmen who hsve the pension cri zs will do well to halt aDd consider the cost of what they are proposing to do and the re- salts which will ensue if they con summate the various grabs which are new pending. A Pm Plituk •« ««»«»•! In answer to the call for a true por trait of General Lee, Mrs Henry BryaD, the widow of that gallant Bus vannablan, the late Major Bryan, knd the danghter of Georgia’s inim itable word painter, tne late Charles Wallace Howard, sent to the Rich mond (Va ) States the following pen picture of the great commander, as drawn in an address delivered in be half of the Confederate home in Charleston, S C, in 1874: It will not be invidious to dwell for s moment upon two of our llluetrlous dead. For a brief period our army was blesstd with the presence ef one of the mcBt remarkable men whom modern times have produced. He seemed bi rn for this moment ous crisis. He became a general, es It were, by instinct. He sprang from Ihe professor’s chair into the aiena of oonflict a full formed hero. Intensely earnest, beineplred amoughis troops »n irresistible enthusiasm. Utterly unselfish, he awekened among bis compeers, not jealousy, but love and geuaiuutt GUiUut.iun. Never doubting, always coLfldent, Jo lead his army Into battle was to lead it to victory. The enemy tied at his uam«; with the confedetates it was a tower of strength. Children lisped II; men exulted in it. The dullness of ege was warmed into ardor at i s mention. Even reluct ant Europe yielded to its homage. It was Ihe constant, holy,lofty Chr s tian faith of (his hero, never desert ing him in the eamp, the ojuncil or the battlefield, which was the grand element of his e xtrai rdinary success His brilliant course* «ai like that of the meteor; bis light still steadily stiearning from bis grave. While history shall be written or liberty honored, or lofty deeds heap- proved, me name of 8touewail Jack- son shall be chetlshed by the south ern people, as tl e ancients cherish their household gods. But there was another, greater than Jackson, nls cuaracter being roundt d, full-orbed like the sun. In him were united qualities seemingly incompatible in the same person The bravery of Cse ar, the cau ion of Fabtus, the Impetuosity of Napo leon, the steadiness of Wellington, the inti grity of 8cipio, the purity ol Washington, aud the tenderness of woman. It is doubtful whether this hero wasgrea.er in victory than in defeat After the final reverse h a acceptance or the Inevitable was sublime. Who shall say whether he was most illus trious at the head of hie college class or at the head of a victorious army ? In Ihe combination of the elements of grandeur be is alone in history. Washington might have been hie peer, but the grand opportunity was wanting. It is hardly necessary to say that I refer to Robert E Lee. Hat Ui;4 Them Won* Team. R 16 Day of Watsonville, Sants Cru« ocaoty, Cal, writes Febrnsry 3, 1885: “When my wife wsa seveDty-ihrei years old she was troub'ed with a very bad cough, and it looked aa if sbe would die with consumption. She Would not call iu a doctor, but o >ir- menoed taking Brandreth’s Pills, two and three every night. Iu three weeks she was completely oured, and her health is now very good, and am sure ihe pills hsve prolonged her life, as well as my own, for I rave used them forty years, and am now eighty-four years old They have been my only mtdioine.” eoddfcw The punishment for perjury doie not alwayB come per iury.

In August, 1881, it was discovered that my son’s wife was In the last stages ot consumption. She was ocughing lnoeesantly, and at times would dis charge quantities of pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain any thing on her stomach, and we thought it ouly a questlcn of time when life would be compelled to give way to the fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer’s Lung Restorer and began it in very small dosee, as she wae very weak. She soon began to Improve; oontinued the remedy and was restored to life anti health, and is to-day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, lot which she la indebted to Brewer's Lung Keetorer. R W Bonnbr, ddcwtf Dusniut, Macon.

Four of my brothers and sisters hail died with consumption, and about three years ago 1 became so ex haunted by Jong continued cough, accompanied with low fever and night sweats, that I could barely get about, and my friends gave up all hope. I coughed so incessantly that I could not sleep at all. After trying seveial long medicines I be gan tbe use of BREWER’S LUNG RESTORER and was greatly ben efited by the first bottle, gaining flesh and strength and resuming work. I continued to take it and am as stout now as I ever was, rare ly ever cough, nor do I suffer with my lungs any more than if they had never been effected. I am never without a bottle of it in my house. During the winter I gave it to mv little children, even a little fellow three years old, for any thing like common colds, or when they show any evidence of croup, and always with the most satisfac tory results, Very trulv, G E HUGELY, Barnesville, Gel Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates in auy form.
