The Service Pension In Illinois At the Encampment of the Depart­ ment ot Illinois a iispatch was r9- ceived from Indianapolis saying thai 1,000 soldiers in mass convention there Indorsed Johnson's H. B. No. 3320, pensioning all soldiers, whereupon the following resolutions, offered by Gen. Bennett, were adopted: Resolved, That this Encampment does not endorse the proposition to pension all surviving soldiers of the war, prefer ng. if such action should ever be taken, it be the result of other considerations than the appeals of the proposed recipients. Resolved. That we heartily and fully concur in the recommendations of the (tammlttee on Pensions of the Grxnfl Army of the Repub.ic. and urge upon tae Congress of the United States the adoption of the proposed measures, believing that ti>e honor and glory of this most prosperous country demand that the defenders be provided for ic tlieir helplessness. What To Do. Th^iinportaut thing now is to Im­ press upon every Senator and Repre sentatlve the fact that the soldiers of the. country are united in1* earnest sapport of the recommendations of the G, A. R. National Pension Com­ mittee, and expect from Congress tne passage of a law which will embody thoae reoommeadatioqi. This should be made tbe personal business of everv comrade, and by letters, personal Interviews, memorials and petitions urge Senators and Representatives to have the matter at once considered by Congress, and brought to a decision If this is done with unanimity--if comrades and Posts everywhere will act at once, *nd with - warmth and spirit befiting the greatness of the occasion--immeasurable good can be done distressed comrades everywhere. The adoption of the Committee's recommendations will take disabled soldiers out of pobrhouses everywhere, and put them in their own houses. It will make the coming Winter pass with comfort for tens of thousands of comrades, their wives, widows and children, to whom the past Winter has been full of wretchedness, misery and stinging privation.

The UM off Railroad Strike* Within a short time throe gmt railroad strike* have been attempted, and every one has utterly failed* rii^ that on the Wabash, on tbe Texas Pacific, and lastly that on the Missouri Pacific roads. The result of tbe lisst mentioned has been so demoralising to the forces of organized labor, and the circumstances attending I« have to strongly changed the current of {rabifo sympathy from the labor leadevt to the officers of the railroad that Matter Workman Powderly pabllcly declares he thinks there will be no more strikes; that henceforth arbitration must prevail. The strikes on tbe Missouri Paelte railroad was, according to the state­ ments made by Mr. Powderly, on- authorized, unexpected and unjust. These facts are made clear by the pub* publication of proceedings of tbe pro* tracted Interview between Mr. Pow« derly and Mr. J. Gould, a publication which Mr. Powderly admits Is trathfni and fair. Mr, Gould left the manage* ment of the affair to Manager Hoxie, a man who had himself sprung from the lowest ranks of labor. Mr. Powderly agreed with Mr.Gouid that the dlfliad* ties should be settled by Manager Hoxle at St Louis, and in communlet* ting tills fact to Mr. Irons. Mr. Pow­ derly directed that the men be ordered to work. He added that Mr. Hoxle had agreed to the folio ving: MI an willing to meet a committee of oar employes without dt»crlmination, who are actually at work in the service of the company at the time such com* mitteo la appointed, to adjust with them any grievances that they may have/' There oould ^be uo tnisoonetraction of these words. Yet the men refased to reti^rn to work, and the dalm Is now made by their leaders that tbe agreement with Mr, Hoxle was not understood to mean what It said. The truth Is--and It Is t'lls no doabt which led the officers of the Missouri Pacifio to decline to hold any further confer* ence on the subject--that Mr. B.C.. Clark and Mr. Somerviile, who aoted tor Mr. Gould and his associates la conveying the Hoxey telegram to Mr. Powderly and his sssociat**. Insisted •ha' the telegram should be carefully anaivz MI SO that T> >tli sides would <gree in their l< terpretat.on of it. i.lne by line.and sentence bv sentence it was'diseussed, and both sides agree#""' 1 h it its meaning was clearly expr< ssed an I that it could not be m 1 winder* ••rood. In the face of thes^ facts the leaders at 8t. Louis insisted oil con­ tinuing the strike and in disregard tug ilie agreement made at New Y »rk. i'lie result ol (his lack ot good faith is exactly what mi<h' have been ex* xpected. " I* has divided the working* <nen IheiiiM-IV' S and threatened great ii jury to ' lie Knights as an orgaoizt- ion. It has strengthened the railroad authorities, turned popular sentiment rl'-arly n favor of Mr. G tuld and his associates, and encouraged the mane* <ers of other corporations to follow his example in resolutely Insisting <ipon the right of the employ r to em­ ploy and to dl*ch irge labor according to his necessities. . - Ir is clear that the working mantel of the land feel that the nianner'ttt which Missouri PaclAc strike was con* ducted has done 110 good to the cause of organized labor. The vau body of sensible, thoughtul workingmeo mean to be right and fair. Ttiey ask only what they are r^ady to gl e. Tbe blame for the reproach that bas been •rought upon them Is not theirs. It rests upon some of the hot headed, lll^v) balls need and Injudicious meu who have undertaken, with or without authority, to act for them^ Evening Journal.

Among the friends of Grover Clevf* land ffher* he was practicing law In thfti city was another attorney, but one of rather different stamp than tbe man ot destiny. The friend was a bright Del* low, but wi'h tbe bump of laziness ah* normally developed. He was not a well read lawyer, and whenever It WM necessary for him to use a decision bearing on any point it was bis habit to lounge I lto Cleveland's offloe and casually worm the desired luformatioa out ot his friend,s unental storehouse. "Grover'1 was not so dull as not to ap­ preciate the fact and to recent the sponging--not so much because the process was worthy. of that name at because be wished to spur his frlead on to more energetic work. One day the friend came lo os his usual errand, and when Cleveland had heard the preliminaries usual to the pumping process, the latter told bit questioner'hat he had given him aU the inf« rmatiou on law matters thftt b>- was going to. '•There are my books," said Cleve­ land, "and you're qu.te welcome to ese them.
