It was a hickory sprouted from the timber used in the trenches, and is a touching souvenir of the battle par tloipated in by General Harrison. Troy Timet; The old soldiers are last becoming fewer In number. While we have them with us let us honor them as they deserve to be honored, and train our ohildren to appreciate their devotion to the Nation and tbe glorious heritage their valor preserved for generations to come, and if neces sary to emulate their deeds. A bill has been favorably reported to tbe Senate, making the fee for ex amining applicants for pension $2 for each surgeon when made by a board and $2 when made by a single sur geon. It al!ows traveling expenses if the surgeon has to go to the appli­ cant's residence. The statue of General Vfarren at Gettysburg was unveiled Wednesday. The statue, whioh stands on Little Round Top, where General Warren discovered and thwarted the attempt of > tho enemy to turn tbe left of Meade's line, is of solid brdnze and heroic size. It represents the General in full uniform, standing ereot, In his right hand a pair of field glasses, while his left grasps the hilt of bis sword. The attitude is supposed to be the one assumed during the battle of July 2,1863, Soldiers Widows Take Hotioe. The Act of Congress, approved June 7,1888, allowing arrears of pension to widows from the date of soldier's death, only benefits those who filed tbeir claims subsequent to June 30, 1880. and where it is shown that tbe soldier's death originated lrom cause in the service since March 4,1861. The 92 allowed the widaw for each minor child will also bo Included in the ar­ rears, but If the soldier's death was prior to July 25,1866, she will only be allowed for the child or children from that date. Widows who drnw pension from the date of filing their claims and have since remarried, will be pro­ bably allowed tbe difference of pen­ sion froin date of- soldier's death to tbe date their pension oommenced, although there has been ne official ruling upon that point as yet. Colonel James A. Sexton, Command­ er of the Department of Illinois G. A, B,, laued the following general ortv* Slobbering Over Cleveland. Young Bayonet Points has anopin­ ion as to what is due the Old Veterans aad their families, There Is nothing strange about this, considering his personal knowledge of tho late war, and the part he took in it, he being an infant in arm during the war period, consequently bis opinions should be entitled to great .respect when he ex­ presses them on the subject of pen­ sions aud vetoes. Comrades read what "fcTB mtk," kuows abcra# the oMNISti diers and what is their due. We have read several of the Presi­ dent's messages accompanying his vetoes of certain special pension bills, and we have yet to see one that we thought did not give good sound reasons for this action. And as long as cougress continues to pass such laws, just so long will it be the duty of the President to place ? bis disapproval upon them. If he did otherwise he would be liable to Impeachment. For Mr. Young Bayonet Points to algest we give below a few of Cleve­ land's cheap witticisms at the expense of ex-Union Soldiers, and respectfully ask the infant, in arms if these too, are "good sound reasons?" From veto of pension te John W. Farris: The ingenuity developed iu the con­ stant and persistant attacks upon the public treasury by those claiming pen­ sions, and the increase of those al­ ready granted, is exhibited in bold re­ lief by this attempt to include sore eyes among the results ot diarrhoea. In vetoing of a pension to Alfred Deuny, be shows his Ignorance of a very common cause of injury to cavalry soldiers, aa well aa his own propensity to maka light of soldiers' olaims: The number of instanoes In which those of our soldiers who rode horses during the war were injured by being thrown forward upon their saddles in­ dicate that tiiose saddles were very daugtroua contrivances. I am stitirtiled there ,1s not a particle of merit in this claim, and no facts are presented to me which entitle it to charitable consideration. From veto of pension to A. ^J. Wil­ son: Whatever else may be said of this claimant's achievements during his ghort military career it must be con- oeded thao ho accumulated a great deal of disability. From veto of pension to Mary Normatj; In an attempt to meet this objection It was claimed as lately as 1885, on be­ half of tbe widow, that her husband's wound caused deafness to such an ex­ tent that at the time be was drowned he was unable to hear the ferryman, with whom he was crossing the river, call out that the boat was sinking. Hew he could have saved his life if he had heard the warning is not stat­ ed. A President who laughs at old sol­ diers, or the widows wbo are in need, no matter how weak their claims may be, will have cause for serious reflec­ tion before the veterans and tbeir friends have forgotten him. " A Colorado paper hits the sail square on the head when It says: Cleveland's numerous vetoes of pri­ vate pension bills will show tbe real reason why all soldiers turn awav with disgust. It is not because be judged the cases to be without merit, tor the majority of veteruns feel quite as strongly as be can upon the subject of pensions for the uudeservlng. Had he «tated his objections with becoming dignity there would have been no trouble. But it was tbe spirit evinced by his sneers at humble men who served their country, and who in their age an extremities have ventured to seek aid from Congress, which has aroused the indignation of soldiers. Tbo simple fact that they had served Pauper Labor This subject has long been viewed with disfavor, and Is now reoeiviea: ait: official Investigation that has been t»«fl long delayed. However, it is qalte possible that much good will resalk from It, should it lead to strict mpros sive measures. Tbe testimony elfeftftd by the Investigating committee in re-? gard to the irruption of Italian, Han~ garlan, fellah and certain other labor of late years has been of instructive interest. Tbe time has certainly oome for a change. When this pauper, labor of Europe underbids American labor the subject is one that concern# tho best Interests of the land. A cheap, degraded labor is not In consonance with American institutions. The glory* of this land Is that labor should get Us just reward, and fully share In th* comforts and advantages of a growing civilization. In practice it Is found, the best rule for entire communities IV" that the most that can be afiorded should be paid for skilled employment. *v The enforcement of this rule brings»' conteutment in its wake, and keepa -]<>' the circulating medium always aotlr v / which is the chief end of money. For .'j' pauper labor to underbid other labor,., J and by dint of mlserljTsaving to take ̂ |;l|p wages out of the country after terms of service Is of the greatest detriment to every interest. It is high time fer J. interterenoe by the general goverh- meat. It should have been done long ^ rf ago. Restrictions upon unlicensed yj'- immigration are in order. The ques- tion, while above mere party differ- ences, is likely to have the active sup- port of the Republicans in their great . v& fight for home Industrial protection. j THE MALLS OF B(J»*ON COMBOS. • i More and more wis it the habit of , > ^ ' people to walk In tbe Mall as the after-' nooa clesed In ou a pleasant day. The ' )•; name Mall was borrowed from the English Mall In London. It means a • '-x plaoe where you can use your mallet, for In London originally the Mall was tho place for playing whatever game 'vf|. was the croguot or tennis of the day. ':fh* This Mali, before the end ef the cen- ' tury was called the Great Mall. This ^ <vas to distinguish it from the Little ' Mall, by ih» side of the Burial Ground. v This alio was planted with Kngiish elms about the year 1764, by Adino Paddock. Those trees were therefore also called "Paddock's Row." They were cat down not many years ago, as they were in the way of travelers. But as lately as 1845 I talked with Mr. Jonathan Darby Robbins, who remem­ bered being told, when he was a schoolboy, with all the rest ef the class, that they would be flogged If any ef the Paddock elms were broken down. And the old English elms still stand in tbe Great Mall, to show to children and grown people what an English elm is. It is, indeed, pathetio to see' how tenderly the eld people remem­ bered England In their gardening and planting before tbe Revolution, The Americanfelm, which Is now the glory ef the Charles Street Mall and of the Beacon Street Mall, was as beauttful a hundred years ago, as it is now. The great French botanist, Mlchaux, called it the "monarch of the vegetable world," and most of us would agree with him. There was not a meadow or a river within a hundred miles of Bos­ ton from whioh there could not have been brought enough American elms to plant the whole Common. But those good people did not want Amer­ ican elms. They wanted an English Mall and the English elms to shade it. --Jiev.E, E. Hale, in Auffm(^<:^¥t^ Awake. i , v?|l - X V Violating the Postal Laws In conversation with a reporter tho otber day, a postotlice official said; There is a custom in which many peo­ ple in this country indulge whleh la both dangerous and unprofitable, and that is mailing papers witb notes writ­ ten en the margin. It Is dangerous because there is a heavy penalty at­ tached to it, and unprofitable because, in the first place, it is never profitable to break the laws, and because the pen­ alty for one act, if discovered, Would amount to more than the eoonomy ef aS lifetime. If you have to send end­ notes iu a newspaper it is better,mere lawful and safer to cut the article ent and enclose it in a letter with your comments, A simple addition to the margin of a paper, "please notice" or •read the above," anything of that sort, if the package is mailed at news­ paper rates, subjects the sender to a severe penalty. i OUR CANDIDATE FQpg t. & '• *" PRESIDENT. 1 lie will be nominated by the conven­ tion aad will be elected by the people, because he will come the nearest to filling their ideal ef a Chief Magis­ trate .
