But this is easily explained. The last Congress passed a law allow* ing an artificial limb or commutation therefor to soldiers of the late war every three years instead of every five yean. There is no appropriation, however, to settle this class of claims. The confederate veterans of Georgia propose to make the acceptance'of the Confederate Veteran's Home at Atlanta by the state an issue in this fall's elec tion, and boycott every legislative candi date who will not promise to vote in favor of the acceptance. It is indicative of the change that is go ing on in the old order of things that only three of a dozen men now prominently mentioned for the Presidency--Harrison, Palmer, and Alger--are men of military records. Yet more than half of the Na tion's presidents, or, to be exact. 12 out of the 23, have had military training and experience. The National home for disabled volun teer soldiers at Dayton, O., is one of tbe finest in the Uaited States, having a capacity of 4,800, and a present member ship of more than 5,000. This home, like all other National homes, is now overcrowded, and Congress is being urged to provide additional accommodations. than that many old soldiers settled in the State in the years following the war. The same is true, in a somewhat lesser degree, of Minnesota and the other newer States., Fully 25 per cent of all the liv ing veterans now reside west of the Mis sissippi ; some places the percentage is much higher. As for Washington, D. C., every one knows that thousand# of veterans, be longing to every. State in the Nation,- ate in the city in private business and ia Gov ernment employ. But a small proportion of the pensioners in the city belonged to the District of Columbia troops. The rest represent every regiment in the Onion army. It ie wearying to nave to continually set forth these simple elementary facte, which every well-informed man ought to know, but the gross ignorance of the sol dier-hating papers makes it necessary.-- National Tribune. The third clause of tbe pension-haters' programme says: 3. Repeal all pensions to soldiers who are awarded only $2 or |4 per month. Such pensions imply ho such disability as should be necessary to obtain a pension. The report of the Commissioner of Pen sions for 1891 shows that there are oH the rolls the following numbers who would be affected by this clause: Getting $1 a month 20 " 2 " 17,080 .66xn 10 12% '• ...1,042 JV # 25 « 12 • • -32% 1 « ??,T* ;f 153 62,318 -•sfeifo.',. , ' ii • *• Total 79,597 Tbus it would out off at one fell swoop 79,597 pensioners, simply* because through the injustice of the Examining Boards, the prejudice of particular offi cials or for some other reason, they have been allowed a small rating. A great many of these small ratings ere the ot the iiiKtfurd aud illil>era! policy of the Pension Bureau in former years when nMinoM won, ],w H.rM,Tn« cary's scales." Thousands of them rep resent disabilities which have steadily grown worse since the claims were allow ed, but in which the claimants have not been able to get an increase. In one way or another all of them are monuments to the illiberality and injus tice of the pension laws as formerly ad ministered. ' Bene More Blunders- It seems utterly impossible for Boldier- hating papers to reason accurately con cerning any fact connected with pensions or veterans. Here, for example; is a sol emn editorial from the Boston Herald: Here are some remarkably impressive pension figures: Minnesota furnished 18,554 three years' men in the war, and she has 10,873 men on the pension rolls. The District of Columbia beats this rec ord, in that she furnished only 6,543 three years men and has 9,132 men on the pension rolls. Oregon furnished 1,773 three years' men, and 2,263 sol diers from that State draw a pension. This record is surpassed in Kansas which supplied 16,624 thre« years' men, and has on the pension rolls 29,421. Califor- nia leads all the other States in this di rection however; she furnished 3,697 three years' men, and has 8,004 drawing a pension. The only explanation of this excess of pensioners over the three years' men enlisted is that a vast number of men enlisted just before the close of the war and saw but little service. But tbey get pensioned just the same. Could anything be more stupid ? Every body who knows anything at all about the war knows that at its conclusion from 25 to 50 per cent of the soldiers from the eastern and middle sections sought homes west of the Mississippi: They emi grated thither literally by the hundred thousand. The population of Kansas A *«wltery et Qeaeial Oiaat. v I was told a good story of Gen. Grant to- day that I never saw in print. It will be recalled that early in the war the New York Fire Zouaves were a crack regiment commanded by Col. Ellsworth. Every man in the ranks had been a fireman, and it Was confidently believed that Ells worth's command was able to put down the rebellion without assistance. The colonel was a young man, handsome, gallant, burning with military ardor and thirsting for military fame. He was as much the idol of the north as Ashby was a few months later the idol of the south. The Fire Zouaves were the first troops to march into Alexandria, Va. Their Colonel was at their head, and after the town had surrendered Ellsworth saw a Rebel flag flying from a hotel. Instead of ordering a s>(uad to remove it he bolted into the house, ascended the stairway, went out on the roof and captured the flag; decending, he was con- frontedS|b|hAlandlord--one Jackson-- who theaffair created mot*j^^^^^^^^jHM|if0rable battles of J one of the d modest, diligent si woman., and dkctiarj duties acceptably. In the course a super-loyal gentleman was put charge of the burea'i in which she worked. Nosing around he soon discovered the antecedents of the young clerk and dis charged her. She was friendless and penniless, and as a last resort went to the White House and called for Gen. Grant. He received her, and she related her story to the silent man. Without saying a word he took a piece of paper and wrote: "The war against men is ended, and my Administration shall not begin one against women. Restore Miss. Jackson to her former clerkship instant ly." This was addressed to the loyal bureau official, and the young lady is yet in the public service. That was an exhi bition of chivalry that Durois or Francis I. might have envied.--^Lom§riI^ Qg^rier Journal. A Burner StRf. - ->}/$ , One of the most effective speeches Sumner ever made in the Senate was also one of the shortest. The question of national cemeteries for Union Soldiers was up, and Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey had sent to the desk an amendment providing for separate bury ing places for white and for colored troops. Mr Sumner arose and in his most impressive manner said; "Mr. President, the amendment offered by the distinguished Senator from New Jersey is another of those compromises with hu man rights." That was all, but the way Sumner's rich voice dwelt on the last fore? lyorde was enough. The amendment met i^ominious failure. Come to-day if you can and hoy your Wall Paper. If you cannot cotne to-day corneas soon as you can. The sooner you come the* better your chances at Down in Mississippi the legislature has just named a county "Jeff Davis," And yet the democracy are insisting that the issues of the war must noi be kept alive. .. \ To MAKE farms more valuable build factories near them.

Tb build up the United States buy American wares, even if it oc casionally happens that you pay a trifle; more for your goods than if the tariff did hot prevent free importations. Since this country is exporting blankets under the McKinley bill and selling them to the poor people of other countries, because we make the eheaj>- sst blankets in the world, the question again recurs: "Who pays the tax?" Georgia will soon have paid out six hundreefcthousand dollars in pensions to ex-confederate soldiers and their widows, and that without a protest from the New York Herald or other solder- hating, pension-opposing newspapers. It would be too much to claim that the tariff is not a t̂ax, bht it is not too much to assert that thisv tax is veiy largely paid by importers and foreign manufacturers for the privilege of sell* ing their goods in the American markets. Instead of the bare' floors predicted because of the increased duty on car pets antf carpet materials there am more carpets in use, and better ones, s i than ever before, and carpets are cheaper, because new factories ha*a ̂ J8 started, competition has reduced price* ̂ and wages have been kept up.

Under a republic such as oars it it only necessary to keep the people busy and prosperous to prevent outbreaks of anarchy and socialism. Under other forms of government there is less free dom of speech and the strong hand of the law seizes the person who is so in discreet as to, criticise the government or those who execute its decrees.

Did the government need no 1 there would be justice in the demo cratic demand for a repeal of existing revenue laws. But the government does need a revenue and the Democrntks party is not capable of devising a bet ter plan of raising money than that now in force; hence the Democrats party should be kept out of power.
