MEAD, Commander, ALBERT SNOW, Adjutant. . bad the South hammered the Union soldier during the war with a fraction of its zeal displayed in impoverishing the reterans of to-day the result, HushA h&v© been different. We have just been shown a tetter il*ota the pension bureau to a claimant, a ven­ erable chaplain, asking him for proof that the 74 years which are set forth in his claim are not due to "his own mis­ conduct or vicious habits." For the week ending Jane 2 the penision bureau allowed only 1.26G certificates, oifbut 211 for each working day. This was not quite one a day for every 23 of the 5,000 employes of the bureau. Of these only 633, or just one-half were original claims, and 142' were claims arising under the old laws. At this rate it will take 1,333 'weeks, or nearly 26 years to close out the 200,000 cases un­ der the old laws, which the commissioner says he found perfected and ready for adjudication upon his entry into office, but "side-tracked in order to give pref­ erence to cases under the act of June 27, 1890. Col. J. Q, B. Adams, accompanied by his adjutant-general, J. F. Meech, was in Pittsburg last week to confer with the local executive committee, which has in charge the entertainment of the 6. A. R. during the 28th national encampment in September. Estimating, with the posts already heard from as a basis, it is cer­ tain that over 50,000 veterans of the Grand Army will parade at Pittsburg on Sept. 11. Free quarters have already been assigned for over 11,000 comrades. There will be 2,000 mounted men in the procession, which is expected to consume over eight hours in passing a given point. The decorations and illuminations will be on a scale of magnificence never before known in western Pennsylvania. Col.J.fi. McCabe, Beaver Falls, Pa., wis chief of Sheridan's scouts, and one of the 45 who acted for him in rebel uniform in '64-'65. They obtained their uni» forms from Confederate prisoners, and mingled with them, thus learning all about their regiments, brigades, divis­ ions and corps. The survivors of these forty-five scouts will hold a reunion in Pittsburg during the national encamp­ ment. Col. McCabe is believed to be the last man living who was present and wit­ nessed the formal surrender of Gen. R. G. Lee to (Jen. U. S. Grant. Comrade McCabe Was a sergeant in the 17th Pa. Cav. when he was selected to perform the perilous duties of a scout and spy. Dar­ ing a week prior to the surrender these scouts were continually passing between the lines of the two armies, being pro­ tected by passes by Gens. Slieri^ap ai)d Early. Congressman Hit*, of IlHttofs ftf&rfto* cently made a historical discovery of much interest to the state of Illinois aud to the widows and survivors of the sol­ diers of the Black Hawk war. Gen. R. Anderson, of For|; Sumpter fame, then a lieutenant and assistant adjutant gen­ eral in tbe United States army, kept the original muster roll of the Illinois regi­ ments, battalions and companies in the Black Hawk war. Tbe widow of Gen. Anderson, now a resident of Washington has carefully preserved this muster roll and has been for some time in conference with Congressman Hitt as to the means of preserving it as a permanent record that it may be of benefit to the survivors and widows who are entitled to pensions, but have never been able to secure them because of loss of official record. Mrs. Anderson and Congressman Hitt have decided that the archives of Illinois are the proper place in which to deposit these original muster rolls and they have been sent to Gov. Altgeld. going to allow himself to be gulled any longer. " So he replied: 'I don't give a darn if yon have Gen. Grant with yon; you'll have to pay toll or yon can't get along here.' Then he added, in a most sarcas­ tic way, with a leer: 'Gen. Grant! You must take me for a fool.' " 'Really,' persisted yoong Smith, 'this is General Grant.' "But Bije got angry at his apparent impudence and said angrily: 'Grant or no Grant you pay toll.' Seeing that he was adamant, Gen. Grant put his hand down into his pocket, and, after tossing him a coin, drove on, laughing at the incident. He often related the incident afterward, and it seemed to amuse him g r e a t l y . " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Hot Oood Ajmerlcantife <« Those who denounce the existing gov­ ernment in Hawaii as an "oligarchy" would have been very poor Americans a century or so ago. All their contentions and arguments, if advanced in the days of early American history, would have been for the evacuation of this continent by white people and the surrender to the Indians of th3ir original possessions. To be logical, the fault finders should even now advocate a restoration of the entire domain of the United States to its ab­ original owners. For nothing is more certain than that their lands and their rights were taken from them against their will. There is something peculiarly flabby in the wit and sickening in the chatter of those who are trying to set back the tide of progress in Hawaii. Their morals are Mugwumpian, their pretenses to superior virtue fraudulent, and their concern for the rights of the natives hypocritical. They are Pecksniffs in politics, and drag- weights on the world's advancement. In the days of '76 they would have been Tories. MmMm • ' •' ' v u'*-: Made Grant Par Xtofl..'... A new story of Gen. Grant the Pitsburg Dispatch the other day by a resident of Washington County, Pa: "I'll never forget how old Bije Oliver, who kept the tollgate in Washington on the old wheeling pike, held up Gen. Grant for toll," he said, "Bije {was annoyed a great deal by the college boys who drove over the pike. "They worked upon his credulity promising to pay toll on their way back. Many a nickle had been lost to the old toll keeper for he was a kind-hearted fellow, and often in the face of better judgment remitted the toll until they re­ turned. Bat the boys like that letter, never came; they took another route home, thus eluding old Bije. Upon one of Grant's visit to Washington, during his administration, a young Mr. Smith, who was then in college, took him out one day for a drive. "As they came near the toll gate on Wheeling pike old Bije caught sight of them. He went out of his house, took hold of the rope and pnlled the pole down obstructing the road. Smith greeted Bije in a familiar way and said: 'Look here, Bije, we want to go on. Yon see I've Gen. Grant with me here.' "Bije looked up with a sardonic smile. 0yer 200 new Spring He had just begun to see through the gojts, all WQQI yell tffcks of the o^Uege boys, and was sot 8.8toffel's. r 1 w/ L ^(ki Seal Estate Tranaltoj^;/;" Recorded up to and Including J(MS 18, 1W4: D A Barrows and w to J M Held wX e«k seX se^i and iwK neX sec 8 Dunham' 06800 04 J Channels and wtoG Winchester, pt fk sen 35 Marenpto -- 900 00 W J Mi-Dowcil *nd w to W Sohaner w X * k ami Xa in e,V nw}< sec 87 Dorr 10000 00 J J Pitz*»n and w to S J Meilin It 3 Pit- sen's subdiv n w AM sec 17 Mc<~»enry ISO ..

The wildest anarchist would not expect things to be destroyed faster than the Democratic Oongiesa la doing the job. It should be unnecessary to say thai the man who preaches anarchy and socialism is unfit to have charge of the education of your children. ^ Nothing can ever make a good cstiaiM ̂ out of the fellow who professes to believe that it is a crime to be energetic, thrifty and prosperous. Quay and McPherson must feel awfal lonesome in the Senate since they ac­ knowledged having speculated la *6g0 stock. According to our information and ba* lief it will require more than a decision of the state supreme court to elect a Demo* cratic legislature in Illinois this year. The old question of the need of a White House, at Washington, has revived. The need of a new President is far more pressing at this time. " 1 The speculation in sugar trust stank* _ by a son of Senator Ransom is another argument against nepotism. If his father had not carried him to Washington, aad.. made him clerk of his committee heyoiU not have]speculated in sugar. Everything political tends toward making the National Republican League^ which opens at Denver on the 26th last., the most enthusiastic gathering in the history of the organization. The Democratic Senators conld stand a little protection on almost everything but wool. The wool-growers did not happen to control a Democratic Senator or two, so they got left. The wool-grow­ ers have votes, however--nearly a millioa of them. Secretary Greeham would better shoo that Senatorial bee away. There are already too many nondescripts ia tfe*' Senate.. y The R. I. Democracic stats committee neglected when it passed a resolution urging the Democratic Congressmen to support the policy of the administrate* to say what that policy is, and nobody else has been able to find out. " "Ig" Donnelly thinks that tlie aiogt> ^ tion of circus methods will help Populism in Minnesota. He is wrong as usual. Minnesota farmers are too level-headed for anything to help Populism. In view of the fate of the Chicago plat* form it would be wise for the Democrats to make their next campaign without any platform. " Mr. Croker's statement, that he woald have appeared before the New York In­ vestigating committee if asked to do sot would have been more convincing on this side of the Atlantic, instead of the other. Editor Howell, of the Atlanta Consti' tation, is honest, if not polite.

I®* A Garden Prairie farmer brought a very fine looking horse to the city on Thursday, says the Belvidere North­ western, offering it for sale at fifty dol­ lars. The horse had such a fine appear­ ance that several persons coveted the animal, but hesitated to boy it on ac­ count of the low price. "The horse is dirt cheap at fifty dol­ lars," remarked a professional who had examined the horse. "Horses are very cheap now, and yon can buy one for al­ most nothing." "Do you know what makes horses so cheap now?" inquired the owner of the animal. "No," replied tbe professional "What is it?"

Not only is it a law but it is a good law as well, and as the expense is small, only one ceat a word, there ought to be no attempt at evasion. The opinion is quite full, and we quote only the closing paragraph, as follows: •> The charge that newspaper people (aa made by local officers) are selfish and mercenary, and have only a personal and not a public interest to subserve, ia purely gratuitous. Those assertions are often made by those interested in col ing up their tracks aud concealij shortcomings. There is no the public press. An honest crit every officer's acts is a good healthy thing in the community and and, it should be encouraged rather than 're­ tarded. Honest men do not fear acraVaj into their public acts.̂ and while nodoabt kuauy newspaper* often surpass legM* mate public criticisms, yet after sdl, tfca great body of them is invariably foand upon the side of honest government and a proper and impartial enforcement oi the law. I am of the opinion, therefore, that the expenditure of the peopls'a money should be reported in detail, not only as to amount but as to the special purpose or purposes to which it has btiMl - applied. .
