It is a grow imposi tion upon the veterans that the present predatory system is per mitted. —Minneapolis Journal. Moutana. Oregon and Washington. Colonists for Montana, Oregon, Washington or British Columbia points should take no other line than the Northern Pacific Railroad. This railroad, with its main and branch lines, has brought into com munication with the east all promi nent.sections of tbft great northwest. It i 4 the only line traversing Mon tana and Washington. It is the on ly line running through trains from the east to and through the state of Washington. It iq the short line from St, Paul to Butte City and He lena, Mont., Spokane Falls, Wash., and Portland, Oregon, and the only all rail line to Tacoma''Ami* Seattle, Wash. ~ Under present car arrangements Pullman sleeping cars and furnished tourist sleepers aro run via the Wis consin Central, and Pullman Palace Sleepers via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and Northern Pacific from Chicago through to the Pacific coast without change. In addition to this service the Northern Pacific runs on its through express trains regular day coaeheß, dining care and free colonist sleepers from St. Paul to Tacoma and Port laud. The Noithern Pacific line allows the bolder* of second class tickets to stop at Spokane Falls, Wash., and at all points west thereof, ten days at eaqn place desired. This will enable settlers to thoroughly examine »ii lands for sale m the new state before selecting a permanent location. No other line offers holders of second class tickets an opportunity of exatn ing all sections of this great state without th? payment of additional fares of from (*5.00 to $20.00.

Ail Injurious Go-Between. The veterans of the war for the anion are beginning to recognize in the pension claim agent a kind of bacillus which consumes mil- The claim agent thrusts himself between the pensioner and the treasury and relieves him of a very large amount of his money in the shape of “fees.” There are well authenticated instances where poor negroes, justly entitled to pensions, have been literally fleeced by the claim agent. In one case where a negro mother was entitled to some $3,000 back pension due her son, who had been maimed in battle and afterwards died, she had been robbed of all but $l5O of it by a cheeky claim agent Some of these clear SIOO,OOO to $150,000 and more a year through their exorbi tant “fee” system, which is little short of robbery. It is these claim attorneys who got up most of the extraordinary forms of pension paying and lobby them through congress. They get enormous slices of every pension appropria tion. Tho secretary of the interior has suggested the dethronement of these blood suckers by a rigid sys tem of fees. But why should there be any pension claim attorneys al lowed? Every person entitled to a pension can get it himself by ap plying to the commissioner with the proper proof. Any claimant can procure the blanks himself and fill them up when he applies. The mostexplicit instructions are print ed by the government Blank forms of application are printed by all the special G. A. ft. organs. From time to time other newspa- S)rs give similar plain directions. nly a few days ago a New York paper printed the form of applica tion for pension with plain direc tions.
