I would a thousand time rather thtt any soldier, who had a bill for a pension of $96 a year, who had served his country, whether he could prove it exactly or not, Should have it signed by the President, than that an arrant knave and a rich traitor should tjave $4,000 a tear. , I claim nothing: fflfr-myself* The men who carried the mubkets were thi men who fought the battles. Bu while you were tramping day and night around Vlckburg and Sliiloh, am freezing in the storms around Donel- fon, and marching to the word of com­ mand fro® one end of the country to the other, young and strong, you did not believe then that the time would ever come that any man, no matter what his political affiliations were, would tver complain of a little pension granted to a soldier; and there is not a man within the sound of my voice in this vast audience, who was in the army himself, but must confess that during the war, and when it was donbtful which side would be success­ ful, the feeling was that, when these boys returned home they would not want for gratitude. Why shouM flch men,,who fattened on the blood ol 300,000 men, now complain If men are pensioned because of their services May God forget me,ifl ever forge I them" utorait v»RW The Beloit free ,/Ve#s tints tersely states the case: poor crippled.man living up In the woods in this state, was killed by the cars.

HI* widow applied for an increase of pen <lon. The congress acted favorablj •n the application. President (^lev«-- land vetoed It. A "high toned"* high­ flying cashier of a Buflalo bank em­ bezzled 9600.000 of depositor's money. He left a wife and five children when he went to prison for ten years four o» fiye ago. Application for his pardon was made to President Cleveland. He granted it "because of his wile and children." It la to be understood that the wife and children of it rich mm who steals half a million dollars has a higher clal.n upon tha nations mercy and "benevolence than the wife and children of a man who sacrificed his •strength and health that the nation might live?

I his was the opinion expressed by Mr. Cleveland in his inaugural address. Is it opinion still, and if it is, why does he not act in accordance? This duty of every ci t izen in regard to public servants is peculiarly and I n- dlspensably the duty of the President of the United States. The people can watch all the ofHcers of the Govern­ ment, but with regard to very many of them It ,1s onlv indirectly and re­ motely that they CM punish the un­ faithful ALL can scrutinize; the Presi dent can dismiss. Has Mr . Cleveland kept a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of the con­ duct of the Attorney General? Does he think that in any reasonable est! mate that officer would, bo considered as faithful and useful ? Was-the Inagural address for effect only? If it was not, why does not Mr. Cleveland illustrate the high concep­ tion of public duty which It contains, by dismissing.from his Cabinet an un faithful public servant.--JVFEW York Sun.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2, 1886 Business in the g*ain markets is ac­ tive, but unsteady, aud the fluctuations of prices are exacting, and are In­ fluence d greatly by the amount of this year's crop and the condition of the weather. Wheat is active and slrongei and sells quite freely at slightly higher prices. The volume of trading in corn and oats is smaller than'on the previ­ ous day6 of the week, there being but little outside demand. Reports of rain from different parts of the country have a more favorable outlook for a full crop. Rye and barley are oderately active and steady. Dairy DUCE^TFMMHTTILHLMLPES. Fruits and lower.

V I^EVEN the Mugwumps I n Indl ina are beginning to confess that they fcave been deceived in the Cleveland 'Administration. A correspondent of the Evening Pott, In a gloomy letter recently, said that "the whole Civil Service of the State had beeu turned Over to the spoilsmen, and they have Hone about what they pleased with it," *ddlng that ' THE postal service would |< |>e a disgrace toZululand."

A few years of united action, on the part of ° the Courts, in this relation, would have a very salutary effect, and, perhaps, entirely wipe out an element of foreign importation that is not at all to our liking. The atti tude of the Democratic pre - s a t present , when contrasted with their utterances In the past, is most ludicrous. For years they have de­ nounced the Republican party for keeping a surplus in the the treasury vaults. Now that Congress has resolv* ed that this surplus shall be applied towards the reduction of the public d e b t , t he se ? a m e organs c o m e ou t w i t h long articles remonstrating against a scheme "so vicious aud so antagonistic to sound public policy ." Cries of "You are censuring the administra­ tion," ,4It will compel Sec. Manning's retirement," etc., ring out from all sides; and this in the face of the fact that the party firmly bound itself by Its la9t national platform, whose prin­ ciples Cleveland is supposed to have subscribed, to do away with the sur­ plus of more than 8100,000,000, ' 'which has beenjwrung from a long suffering people.** 1S»- •; - •^SENATOR Logan, a few days aro delivered a speech In Kansas, In which ihe alluded to the pension vetoes of the President, and his own general course toward the ex-soldiers, as follows: MI would rather have a few frauds, ao called--although they hmount tA | little--than to bare hundreds denied < pensions who are justly entitled to % them.

The truth of this statement cannot fairly be questioned. Two months ago congress passed a bil l authorizing the president, by procla­ mation, to deny the Canadian vessels all right* a- d privileges refused to American vessels trading in Canadian ports . The Canadian government issued a proclamation denying com­ mercial privileges to American fishing vessels, and it followed up the declara tlon by various repressive acts, even o r d e r i n g a w a y v e s s e l s engaged i n purchasing fish of Canadians for sardine packing. But nothing has been done at Washington and the president has refused to take advan­ tage of the act passed almost unani­ mously by congress to meet the cate. It is true that Secretary Bayard has denounced the course of the Canadians as "unjust," "reprehensible," and an ' Interference with a recognized and le­ gitimate trade." but mere words count for nothing. The fishermen believe, with apparent good reason, that Secre­ tary Bayard cares more for bis own opinion, as to the advantage of a new fishery treaty, thkn he does for tho in­ terests of American flahertnen.
