"The contract with all such persons
baa been kept to the letter, and their
debu have more than doubled in
value by legislation oband through
congress in their behalf, with interest
thereon paid promptly at regular inter
vais, while we received our pay in a 'de
preciated currency, amounting to a mere
pittance toward securing the comforts
of life to our families during our absence
from our homes in the service from 1531
to 1S65. Therefore, as an act of justice
and equalization of the lewses sustained
by us during the war, we request of our
reprebtioLitives and senators in congress
the enactment of theo just measures
into law for our relief, and we rerue it
now.
"All who are opposed to these meas
ures of rvlief will misinterpret our mo
tives and charge us with wild schemes
of finance and inflation. This U not
true. We answer that, with the pres
ent revenues of our government main
tained as they are, these claims can
be met and pai l without financial dis
tress or disturbance. The sum of money
necessary, combined with existing pen
sions, pail out quarterly to our com
rades, will immediately enter into circu
Lation, and will go far towards reviving
and irrigating the channels of trade, to
the advantage of the manufacturer, mer
chant, mechanic, laborer and farmer.
Our claims are, reasonable and just, and
will add no burdens in the way of addi
tional financial debti to our eople, not
a dollar of which is a loss to the people
or leaves the country, but which, on the
contrary, very largely assists in creating
additional wealth and increases the na
tional revenues necessary to pay the in
creased pension list.
After showing that an enormously
largo proportion of present pension rat
ings are for less than $3 per month and
very many less than $4, the addrees con
tinues: "This division of rating goes far
to dispel the generally received idea of
the 'boundless liberality' of our govern
ment to it3 defenders in the late war,
which is further modified by the unrea
son&ble laws and rulings thrown around
the administration of the pension office,
which reverse, in their application to
soldiers' claims, the common Law prac
tice of our courts.
"Up to June 30, 18S8, the almost incon
ceivable sum of $3,G52,000,000 has been
paid to holders of our national bonds on
account of the war of the rebellion
$2,153,090,904 of this amount for interest
alone. For the same period, lo-1888,
there has len paid for the pension list,
including pensioners of all wars, $946,-
387.S60, but a trifl over one-fourth the
amount pai l the money lenders. Gentle
men, the tir.ie lias come when nothing
short of a 'radical revision' and simpli
fying of the pension laws will do 'justice'
and clear the files of near 500,000 pend
ing claims, which, under the present law
and 'system of work' in the pension
office, will not be settled in ten years, if
not another claim was filed in that time.
"Putting off a Bcrrice pension law ten
years longer means that 300,000 more
soldiers 'must die' without justice.
Gentlemen, you cannot afford to longer
ignore a full and complete settlement of
this matter beyond the sessions of the
Fifty-first congress. The national debt
with its interest is no longer burden
some. If one half the present popula
tion could provide ways anil means to
meet the great expanses of the war
surely it is not impoible now to pay the
'hont dbt' duo the soldiers who saved
the Union. If the revenues are insuf
ficient ooiuXitutional measures are still
available and shouH le used to provide
the mans to do so.
"We rpetfully call the attention of
rongreRs to tbre farts in connection with
th subjTt of pnions, and hope your
honTrabJ Ndis, th houv and senate.
will be ahi- to eo in the measure here
with rp''-t fully suhrnittrd to your i

persons denrribed in section 1 of this act,
from and after its passage, without re
gard to age. And it is provided that the

pensions as follows, within the rates pro
vided by this act, to wit:
For a disability rated at one-half the
total rate the pension shall be increased
aaven dollars ($7) per month. For a dis
ability rated at three-fourths the total

section 1 of this act, from obtaining a
support by their labor or usual occupa
tion, the pension shall be increased
twenty-two dollars ($22) per month, pay
able for and during the natural lives of
the persons entitled thereto. But this
act shall not be so construed as to change
the ratings of pensioners now on the
rolls or that may hereafter be placed on
the rolls at higher rates for los3 of limbs
or eyesight, the result of injuries re
ceived in ths service.
Sec 3. All the persons named in sec
tion 1 of this act and who have not prior
to the passage and taking effect of thi3

PBETTT STYLES TOR LITTLE OIELS.
The dresses naturally vary in style,
partly with the mothers taste, and jart
ly with the age of the child, and also
the appearance of the little one. Some
look lovely in the quaint littla Green
away costumes, and others in the pict
ure dresses copied from old portrait.
Others again require a 6tyle more pecu
liarly adapted to themselves, and the
tasteful mother will manage generally
to find out what beet suits her darling.
Dark woolen materials and shepherd's
plaids as well &a silk or surah are most
commonly teen this spring for little girls,
and light colored veilings and cashmeres
as well as India silk are made up for
young girls in their "teens" for party or
evening dresses. A pretty dress for a
girl from 8 to 13 can be made after a
model dress which I saw in a large house.
It was of shepherd checks In gray, ma
roon and white and was trimmed with
mfgnonette green velvet. Another dain
ty little gown which is illustrated here
is of tan colored tricot with a guimpe,
belt and cuffs of ruby velvet The waist
is shirred so that the edge stands upward
like a narrow ruffle, and it ha3 a velvet
belt, and three tacks in the ekirt for
6ole trimming, but it makes a becoming
and suitable little gown. Many ladies find
that the best back breadths of their own
worn out dresses can bo utilized in mak
ing up such a little gown, only requiring
five-eighths of a yard of velvet to make
a pretty little dress. It would need about
two yards and a half of material forty
four inches wide to make this, and if
there was not quite enough dress mate
rial the sleeves also could be of velvet.
For school dresses, merino, flannel,
challis and many other of the more or
dinary woolen goods can be used, and all
that is then required is a fair stock of
pretty white aprons, and the plainer the
dresses are made the more satisfactory
they will prove.
Cloaks are made of many materials,
but the most fashionable are those of
clan plaids in light cheviot, and they can
bo modeled aftr the one in the picture.
To wear with theae nothing is so suita
ble as a Tarn o' Shanter cap or a Scotch
cap with a heron's plume. Both kinds
are. very easy to make.
For a young girl from 13 to 16 there
can be no prettier or more suitable gown
than the pretty pearl gray mohair, with
its simple lines and its cardinal belt cuffs
and plastron. This same design can be
made in white veUing jr any other ma
terial suited to the age of the wearer. In
wash goods there are zephyr ginghams
that are certainly as pretty as silk.
