VETOED,--As many expected, the President has vetoed the "Service Bill" lately passed by both Houses of Congress. His message takes up three columns of fine print and we have no room to give his 'objections" in full. In reading it, any unprejudiced person must see that Grover Cleveland is not the friend of the soldier. This veto comes with especial bad grace right upon the heels of his approval of the Mexican pension bills which will give pensions to thousands of rebels who fought to destroy the Union. This approval of the Mexican bill and the veto of the "Servioe" bill are both sops to the South. A Southern Con­ gressman significantly remarked. "This veto will make the 9outh solid again." The President Ignores the principles of honesty and justice tn the bill and vetoes It that the Democratic party •lay be kept "solid'1 In the Southeru States! There is the whole thing in a nutshell, and the survivors of the two or three million men at the North whe voluuteered in the Union ranks will have a big score te settle with Grever Cleveland should he ever again ask their suffrages. „ OIRM vrcto WKNT TO WAR. I knew a girl whe at the beginning of the war was so filled with patriot- Ism, and so weighed down by a sense of duty, so carried away by an adven turous Impulse, that she followed the boys who had enlistisd In her neigh­ borhood, and dressed as a bey, enlisted in the company that was forming in county town. Her friends, discover­ ing the leng hair sfye had cut from her head and the clothing she had thrown oil In her father's barn, gave immedi­ ate pursuit. As they were driving into the city they saw walking along the sidewalk, smoking a cigar, a young fellow who had the same sort of a face as the girl they were in pursuit of.-- They stopped and aooosted the young fellow, an J were treated to such a shower of epithets and such an exhibl Hon of bravado that they admitted their mistake, and apologized fer it. An heur later one of the party found the same young fellow deathly sick from smoking the cigar. He called him by the girl's name, and found that aM,er all the young fellow who had done such hard swearing was the girl th)y were looking for. She was taken home, and afterward) entered the ser­ vice as a hospital nurse. In the last year of the war I found her again in men's clothing, crying as only a bro­ ken-hearted woman oan ery, over a light-haired man. shot dead In the charge at ResacA. She cared nothing then for exposure, and went home in a widow's dress. Another girl, I remember, had a pleasanter experience. I was the ex­ amining Surgeon at one of the recruit­ ing camps early In the war, and on one occasion as I passed down the line of a company formed in open order for muster and inspection, I noticed, as JiMLhAnde w«re ha!d <w»i, on* eat that to fuy^pnietieed1 eya* >i?onged ~t# « woman. I said nothing at the time, but after consultation with the Colonel had the recruit with the feminiue hands broaght to headquarters, The bright looking soldier admitted In two minutes that she was a woman, and in two days she was at house. A year af­ ter that I was at a ball In Washington. As I stood a little aside from the main party, whfalng that I was In front with the army, a young lady oame toward me, bowed with exagcorated stiffness, and as she straightened up went thro' the motions of obeying the order, 'Eyes right." She ofiered me her hand and thanked mi for something that she supposed that I had done, and walked away. She was pretty enough to be the belle of the occasion, and I saw that she took considerable delight In my confusion of mind, all of which I understood later when I learned that she was my recruit with the ladylike hands. She afterwards told me that she owed me a debt of gratitude for stepping in at the right time to break down her romantle notions.--An Old Army Surgeon, in Chicago Herald. A The President Mays Ma As was generally expected President Cleveland vetoed the "Dependent Sol- diers and Parents Pension Bill.'* We do not care at this time to discuss bis meaningless sentences, occupying al most three columns in fine print. We clip from a copy of the Chicago Inter Ocean what appears to us to be a true and correct idea of the case In ques* tion: The Pr si dent has decided that the 15,000 old soldiers who are In the poor houses of the States shall stay there and that the dependent relatives of the soldiers whe are dead are still tho subjects of local charity. The veto has been accompanied by a verbose mes­ sage, in every line of which the Pres­ ident seemki to seek to excuse himself for his action. It will be for the old soldiers and their frieuds to decide how far he succeeded. The President does not put his refusal to approve the bill upon almost the only ground urged in fabcr of a veto, doubt as to the amount tha; would be required. He seems to think :bat tim* enough has cot elapsed since the war to deter­ mine whether any ought to be pen­ sioned. and that as many of the old soldiers are still in the prime of life, It will be well to wait a few years. He thinks, too, that Congress overlooked some of the positions of one of his messages on the subject of pensions and suggests that Congress would do well to dispose of the surplus In some other way lest wicked people should appropriate it for the pensions of old soldiers. Those are some of the inef­ ficiencies from the diffusive message that accompanies the veto. The Pres­ ident has beeu in great perplexity on account of this veto. He has been in a strait betwixt two. He has been urged by his mugwump allies to veto the bill. He has received hints from Washington's Knee Bnekle. A Lewlsten lady has en* of Goaoral Washington's knee busklos. It Is a genuine article wheee history can be traced back authentically to General Washington through a revolutionary patriot grandslre. who one day picked up the shining bnokle left by tho Fath­ er of his Country in the camp of Val­ ley Forge, He knew It was General Washington's as oertainlj- as he would have known General Washington's three-cornered hat. Subsequent gen­ erations preserved the buckle and the story, allowing neither to lose value by age. The buckle has been trans- ferred Into & bosom pin. The old -time buckle is an oval setting of brilliants in old-lashioaed sliver with an Inner border of pale, antique looking gold. It is striking from Its edlty. If you look sharp you may sse the Lewiston lady decked In it some day, and if you see it you will know it. It caase to her as a Christmas gift from a grand­ mother, who has treasured it as the spple of her eye.--Lewiaton (Maine) Journal. |0rThe New South, a very southern journal, but a frank and honest one, has this to say of Gen. Logan: "As a mem­ ber of cong rets before the war, as a soldier during the war, as member of congress and the senate after the war, General Logan displayed some of the highest mental and moral qualities. He possessed a strong intellect, was an able and forcible speaker and writer and was a born leader of men. He was a man of great personal magnetism, great personal courage and unblemish­ ed character. In the field and the forum he was alike distinguished. Best of all that can be said In praise or him, he|was honest, unselfish aad incor­ ruptible. His untimely death is a great loss to Illinois and the westt lu the free-traders that the penaioa Mil Ifaot to the wfeole eoaatrj,* Ceneral Logan's Second A Chicago PabKsher. Special Tele gram to the Inter Ocean. New YORK, Feb, 9.--General Logaa at the time of his death had completed his second book, "The Volunteer Sol­ dier of America.*1 and it was ready, for the printer. So soon as it was «eaer- ally known that it w s In existence, publishers from all parts of the coun­ try wrote to Mrs. Logaa making In­ quiries and efforts ef|contracts. Not a few called in person, and used the host influence to get the work into which 11 was understood that the dead hero had put so much thought and strength and affection. It was his last and best tribute to the one interest he loved most--the volunteer soldiers. From 'hiladelphia, New York and Chicago, came publishers urging their special advantages and pleading for the op­ portunity to sell the book of the hoor. Mrs. Logan, eager and anxious to do the best thing for the book's future, talked with her friends and dectded to let her kinsman, Dr. C. A. Logan, of Washington, take the matter la hand and consider the offers of the various publishers. Yesterday it transpired that an enterprising Chleago publish­ er had secured the priza, and that he had given the same terms te Mrs. Logan that Mrs. Grant has with the publishers of Ge|* Grant's Memoirs. It has been geotroK understood that General Grant's pSWlshers would be the successful competitors, hut Dr. Logan came on to New York aad met R. S. Peale, of Chicago, with whom he closed a contract lost night. Mr. Peale is of the firm of R. S. Peale & Co„ of Wabash Avenue, and Is the owner of the Home Library Association of that city, and the publisher of the World, Issued In New York «ed| 4BUtea-' go. He Is a young man of <|||ill %id sagacity, and his triumph known publishers in the Halted States, Is a matter of congratulation to the Chicago public. Dr. Logan hesitated some time before coming to a final de­ cision, but signed with Mr. Peale be­ cause of the fact that he controls the largest organization in the country and has a business system unsurpassed in the subscription trade. Mrs, Logan favored his offer in addition to other reasons, because his was a Chicago house, and she preferred the book should be published there. Jir. Pes Sett rs< the work of preparation on the pot cation of this work, which is destined to have a notable fame. It Is a history or military education In this country, which is exhaustive and remarkably, and Gen. Logan has reared his lasting monument In this efiort for the be­ loved volunteer soldier. The charae* ter of the hook will commend it to students as Well as to the general puh* lie, and It will raisn the prestige ef the citizen soldier to the higher plaae where General L<ogan always insisted his pedestal should be. The work Is to be illustrated In the full sense of that term, and it will contain aaany pic­ torial reminiscences of battle fieldQ.
