Locp. iiMth, isai """ ' War Department hat at last for­ mulated regulations for the retire­ ment of enlisted men fron active service. The act of February 14.1885. directs that when an enlisted man has served thirty years in the army or marine corps he shall, by making ap­ plication to the President, be placed on the retired lisc. with 75 percent, of the pay and allowance of the rank upon vhlch he was retired. According to the regulations, the entire pay and allowance for an infantry or artillery private who has served thirty years has been a break in the service the pay may be reduced as low as 980.26, which Is the minium allowance for an enlisted men. The maximum Is $53,26. which is three fourths of the pay and allowance of a principal musiaian|of an artillery and infantry band. In Ihe case of retired men. there will be no retained pay, nor .will the tax for the support of the Soldiers' Home be Absored. A strong endeavor is made to prej­ udice the public mind against the re­ peal of the unjust limitation In the arrears law by denouncing It as "a claim agents'raid on the Treasury." This Is highly absurd. OntyTa very Ignorant man will fall to understand that pension attorneys cannot have a dollar's worth of Interest in the pas­ sage of such a law, Their fee Is the same whether tbe claimant gets arrears or not. Whether he Is allowed £5,9500 or 95,000 they cannot get a cent be­ yond their prescibed fee of 925. Every cent of the extra millions which the passage of such an act will take out of the Treasury will go straight into the pockets of pensioners, without one penny being divided to the emich oient of the attorneys or agent* of any kind. The pension attorneys have as little pecuniary interest In it as they have In the passage of the bill for i*!slng tbe pensions of widows and dependent relatives from 98 to 91*2 a month, which while paying those de serving oues an additional sum aggre­ gating estimated at 906.000,000 a year, does not give pension attorneys an ex­ tra cent.--National Tribune. The case of Win. Dawson, of Conl- pany I, West Virginia Cavalry, who joined the Confederate service Mobile a Union prisoner, is thus disposed of by the Commissioner: "It is alleged in this case that the claimant's enlistment lo the rebel army whiltf fi prisoner of war was for the purpose of escaping to our lines at a favorable opportunity. To the proposition that tiie enlistment In the rebel service was a voluntary act, I cannot give asseoi. While bis enlistment in th« enemy's service prac­ tically Illustrated the claimants shrewd ness, It certainly does not avouch his patriotism. A soldier Is called upon to face death In many forms--to be fhot on the field, to be starved in cap­ tivity. and In other ways to «*hm his willingness to sacrifice hW life for his co,in try. I oan see no justification, Jipwever, for bis enlistment under the Enemy's standard, and giving them. If only for a limited time, aid and com­ fort. If ft were allowable for a cap­ tured soldier to join the enemjr for the purpose ef escaping the hardships and privations of prison life, tbe principle would be established that a (prisoner of war would become simply a recruit for tbe anetny, In law, a man* inten- ttoil and motives are to be judged by hlsovert acta, not by his subsequent explanations of these acta. Such being the case, and In view of tbe provisions of the statute, I cannot hold otherwise than that the seldier In this case did reoder voluntary aid- and comfort to the late rebellion against the authority of lliygtttted states. The claim will, thei^pPe lie rejected, a'hd In this and «UishBl1ar cap#. Congress ^Uone can glye relief."

"™-- The Real Qaeetioa. - In spite of all that the repudiating demagogs say to the contrary, the raising of money for pension pur­ poses is hot a question of more taxa­ tion upon the common people. It is wholly a question or whether the rich man shall have the champagne and his Johannlsberg. and bis Cuban cigars cheaper than he now does, and whether his wife shall be able to buy the French silks, la see, hosiery and diamonds at lower prices thaa she can at present. It is a question whether the distiller, rectifier, the brewer and the saloon keeper shall increase their enormous piofits by having their liquors freed from taxation. The question is whether we shall do this or whether we shall use the money they now pay Into the Treasury to feeil and clothe the widows and orphans ot aoldiera aud support in comfort the men who gave their youthful health and strength to secure tor these people the riches and peace they uow enjoy. This is the real question.--National T."bu:ie. In our column of two weeks ago we spoke of the amputation of the left leg ot comrade James A. Heaton, of Woodstock, and that he appeared to be getting along as well as could be ex­ pected considering the circumstances connected with the case. He, however, had failed rapidly since that time and on Monday evening, May 10th, 1886, comrade Heaton was summoned to join the silent major! ty» His *ufier- Ings for some week) prior to the ampu tation of his limb were terrible, and for the greater part of the time since, suftering with paifis ta Ms head and a general debilitated condl tionofliis entire system, and finally other complications set in that caused his demise, * Comrade Heaton, we bt lieve, was about fifty years of age, and If not born lu the state of Illinois, came to this county when very young and was raised In the town of Seneca, where he lived till entering tbe U. S. service In the fall of 1861. He became disabled the following winter at Ottawa, Illinois, by falling on the Ice while carrying water, he being on duty in tbe Regimental hospital. The fall caused his left knee to be injured to such an extent that he was very soon after aftlcted with varicose veins, and to add more to his difficulties was early in tbe 6priug of 1862, when In front of Corinth. Miss., bis regiment having gone south after the battle of Shlloh. attacked with Dysentery, that soon became chroulc, and early in tbe summer of 1862 be waa discharged on account of disability and sent home. We understand that while with bis regiment he was ever on hand to do what ever duties assl >ned hltu that he was able to perform, and was well liked by bis comrades aad officers. Since his discharge he has lived In Seneca and for the last few years in Wood­ stock, the troubles contracted in the service causing him to be more or lets unfit to do hard labor and for several years past his leg ha* had t a running sore thereon,fcnear the ankle, which at last had become so bad that it was deemed necessary by his Physloans and reUtives to sever the member from his body fn order to save his life. Jf the operation had not been perform­ ed he might possibly have lived a short time longer, but it was only a question of time nnd that at the far- therest of short duration to when be should answer his "las: roll call" this side "the River." Post 108 of Wood­ stock turned out on Wednesday after­ noon following his death and marched to the Presbyterian Church, where ap­ propriate services were held, alter which they formed and marched to tbe cemetery, where the remains ot the de­ cease J were laid to rest, a military sa­ lute being fired over bis grave, and a few remarks made by Comrade B. Smith suitable for the occasion,'^® having command $>f the Post. The pallbears we«i aft comrade, *pd entire funeral arrangement* were io Charge of the G. A. R. "Sleep soldier! still io honored re^gs ^ four truth snd valor securing; ,** The bravest are the tenderost, The loving are the daring." There are several ex-Union soldieis among the candidates for the Various county offices to be filled early In the coming winter. We should rejoice If there was a good paying place for each for from what we know of them, all are good, competent and deserving, Tet some must "pet left" and we hope to see those who Are justly entitled by the (greater length and hard service underwent "knock the persimmons.*1 Among the list of candidates we notice that W. P. Morse; of Nunda, h a candi­ date for Coanty Treasurer. We oplm be will have no opposition and he have, bis almost four years fn active military service at the front, with tip exception of about fourteen months spent in Andersonville and other southern prison pens, ought to be taken into consideration, an& we be­ lieve it will be. Besides be Is an ex­ cellent business map and of nnim- ' pe acbable character, and is thorough­ ly capable and worthy the position of trust. Capt. George Eekert, of Wood­ stock, wants to be Sheriff, also Henry Keyts, or Algonquin, ana D. A. Stead- man, of Marengo. Each did service during the war of the Rebellion. Capt. Eekert and Comrade Keyes. were three years or more at the front and poseas military records that t both may be , proud of. Comrade Steadman was out but a short time and was discharged ( on account of disability, so at least as to this latter we have been Informed. There are other candidates, but with the exception of Col. Wm. Avery for re-nomination for County Clerk, we believe those we have mentioned com­ prise all that were soldiers. There is tio opposition to Col. Avary, and were there it seems to us he would have a walk away, for it is generally conced­ ed that he ia entitled to another term and makes an excellant County Clerk. Capt. Eckert will secure the Dorr dele­ gation without doubt. In fact wo do not hear of any opposition to him ia Woodstock and vicinity. Onr motto is "Soldiers stand by your comrades and those who bore the'blunt of the battle A P. S. Since writing the above it has* come to our mind that Capt. W. B. Walker is also a candidate for Sheriff. He served in the old 95th, and baa a military record of which he need net be ashamed. m. - • Sitiinu, In this disease, Plso's Cure for Con­ sumption is found as useful as any other remedy. In a great many cases It ef­ fects a permanent cure, and in others'it gives relief that Is almost equai to a cure. Without trying it you caonot tell whether it is good for you or not. No harm can possibly result from its use. It Is .very pleasant to the taste. CROUP. If a child awakens with a hoarse cough and difficulty of breathing, give it ten or fifteen drojts of Pico's Cure for Consumption. In almost every case relief immediately follows. If a second dose does not give relief there Is reason to suspect membraneous croup, and a doctor should be called at once. WASTING DISEASES. Consumption, Diari boea, Dyspepsia* Iudigestion, aud all wasting diseases. have but one cause, viz: failure to simulate food taken as nourishment, The purpose of Plso's Cure for.
