PENSION DAT.
Last Thureday, May 4th, was pension day at Indianapolis, and quite a number who came to get their quarterly allowances found themselves cut off, and much was the growling and disappointment thereat. Under a republican official the pension department of January last by AB't. Secretary Bussey, they are no longer entitled to their quarterly stipend —or at least until the matter can be adjudicated by a higher tribunal. On the 27th day of June, 1890, congress passed a law by which "soldiers who served ninety days or more and were honorably discharged, and who were suffering from a mental or physical disorder of a permanent character, not the results of their own viciouB habits, which incapacitated them from the performance of manual labor in such a degree as to render them unable to earn a support, shall, upon making due proof of the fact, be placed on the list of invalid pensioners and be entitled to receive & pension not exceeding $12 and not less than $6 per month, proportionate to the degree of disability to earn a eupport. etc." The rule established by the commissioner of pensions after the passage of this law was such that a pensioner was rated on any and all disabilities which he had, and if such disabili-, ties rated at 82 and less than $6 they were added together, and if altogether amounted to $6 or more a pension was granted, But under the ruling of Assistant Secretary Bussey of January 17, 1893, the pensioner must have at least one disability which rates at $6 or more, nominal rateB not being added together to make the rate under the act. The effect of this ruling will be that thousands of soldiers will be dropped from the pension rolls.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
1
Just at this time there seems to be quite an ambition among many cities of Indiana to own and operate their electric light plants and water works. Our observation is that it is not a worthy ambition. If the city authorities can make satisfactory terms and see that they are rigidly enforced we believe it to bo to the intwrest of the tax-payers that these industries be owned and operated by private corporations. At least so far as Crawfordsville is concerned it has certainly been demonstrated in the light business that it would have been much cheaper to the people to haye had the business run by a company. The plant owned here is a big dead expense, and continues to increase in cost to the tax-pavers. It has cost the city $80,000 and the end is not yet. The idea of municipal ownership is that it will be cheaper to the tax-payers and monopoly is prevented, A mythe, a delusion. What the city may save one way it loses in another. What is saved in tolls to a private corporation i3 paid out to a lot of hangers-on under the name of superintendent, engineer, repairs in keeping machinery in order and other expenses. There is plenty of corruption of all kinds to the loss of the tax-payers regardless of which side owns and operates electric lights, water works or any other system of business depending on a city for its existence, yet in the long run it is cheapest, we believe, that companies instead ef citizens control them.
HINTING AT CORRUPTION. Said an old citizen and tax-payer the other day, "I want to make this prediction. Within two years, the city, through its council, will dispose of its electric light plant, and at a great reduction from what it is worth. A ring, I believe, is being quietly formed here in Crawfordsville, which will construct a street railway on the implied condition that they can purchase the city's plant and run the two together. A majority or a portion of the council will be "seen" and the deal will be conaumated. Some councilmen are honest and some are not. I have never doubted for an instant that corrupt means to a considerable extont were used iu the purchase of our city plant, and it will be pursued again in its disposal. You watch now and see if whoever starts a street railway here don't soon after purchase the electric light plant. It ia in tho wind and if money can induce the council t» sell it will be used freely. The plant has cost the city $75,000 at least, and the street railway company will give about half what it is worth for it if it can bribe enough councilmen. You notice that some are talking about sewers! eewsrs! and the city's great need of them. Somebody is looking forward to a big contract or may have brick to sell. You notice in all these years the daily Journal ncvor has any disapproval of anything tlio city council has ever done. Does it not have tho printing and advertising for the city? Somehow it never has nothing but approval for all the council's work."'
T1 E LIN INDUSTRY.
A fow CHi.ji.'ilists who are intending to continue -mike money off of the people are ^sk that the McKinley tariff on tin rem..u in force, that, as thny have invested in fxctnriea quite heavily in the west they iruould be protected. Senator Brico, a democrat, it is stated, will appeal to S- outer Voorhees and other prominent -on^ressmen to not interfere with the lb v.-. If Voorhess or any other anti high a ifT democrat should harken to these it they would be recreant to their trust, would not act in the interest of the peop!'', and would be unworthy of their conlideuce. The threat campaign of 1892 whirl) resulted in a grand sweeping victory for the democracy was fought on anti-tariff lines, and won through tho position assumed by the victors. Tiu* position assumed by the democracy was in accord with the opinions of a vast majority of the voters of the country and therefore the victory. Why continue in force the present tariff on tin? If on tin why not on all other protected industries? Why any change therefore in anvof the rates on goods imported from foreign countries? If the tariff on tin is maintained why not on watches, silkp, and scores of articles of domestic consumption? The same argument that favors present tariff tin rates will answer on many others. Senator Brice probably assumes from his position as a democrat that he may be able to move other leaders of the party into his way of thinking, but if he should the party will lose confidence at once in the professions of its leaders. The verdict of a majority of American voters at the national election of 1892 is that there was too much protection in this country in the interest of the few against the many, and that there should be a reduction in tariff rates. Let the leaders not forget this verdict.
THE CITY DEBT.
Instead of making preparations for sewers, street improvements, etc., which are quite often talked about by the city council, would it not be well to first pay what we owe instead of contracting new debts? Very few know "just what the city debt is, but it is a big thing at least. Three years ago the city was practically free from debt and had money in the treasury. Taxes were light. How is it now? The electric light plant owned by the city has became a very costly article to the taxpayers, and its expense eems to increase instead of diminish. The debt for this is probably $80,000. Now when must this be paid? This is a big debt for a city no larger than Crawfordsville. While it iB now demonstrated that it would have been a much wiser policy to have some foreign corporation furnish us light, nevertheless we are in for it and must pay the bills for its construction and mainteinance. A prudent man would not manage his business as the city has managed its affairs. He would only contract for that which he promptly expected to pay for, and would not branch out into new investments until he had well and surely provided for the payment of the old. The most prudent thing for the city to do is to set about some plan for payine the electric light debt in a manner that it will be the least burdensome to the tax-payers, and 1st the sewerage and street improvement business alone for a time. Added to the county tax the citizens indeed haye high enough taxes to pay for the next faw years instead of having them further increased.
THE city of Indianapolis is getting itself in readiness for a big fat lawsuit, in which the right to the use of the streets for electric railway purpose and the question of a franchise to the present company is involved. It would seem that a few hot heads propose to trample under foot every right of the old company altogether, although it has much money in the plant, and is serving the public as well as any company in any city is doing. Our guuss is that in the long contest the old company will triumph.
EX-SENATOR JOHN F. MCHUGH. of Tippecanoe, arrived to-day to ascertain whether the republican postmasters in Tippecanoe cannot be removed and their places filled.—Washington Dispatch.
If these republican postmasters had about them the decidedly bad order while in official life that McHugh had while a member of the last State legislature they should have been removed long since. The country has no need for incompetent postmasters nor senators of doubtful reputation.
REPUBLICAN newspapers easily accommodate themselves to the days of small things. They crowed quitelargely last week over the results of municipal and village elections, as if they were indications of a return to republican modes and manners, whereas in most of them politics had little or nothing to do in bringing about the result. When a real fight is on hand again they will learn that the party is dead, very dead.
NOTWITHSTANDING labor organizations, arbitration, etc., strikes are just as frequent now as within any time of the past ten years. The skirmish between capital and labor is just as brisk and intense in feeling as ever.
GHEINER, the postmaster Haute, was removed it is total incompetency. Total would probably fit better in with most republican officials.

AND DRURY GOT LEFT: Mr. Drury is an industrious employee of the coffin factory, a republican and in religion a Catholic. When Jeff C. Scott died a fow days ago Mr. Drury thought he might bo able to fill his place as a member of the city couueil and Bet about to try and secure the position. He had some encouragement but forgot that hiB religion with a large class of republican voters was against him—the A. P. A. people did not want any Catholics in so insignificant a position even as councilman. The republican leaders about town were set upon the council men who had tho selection of a new man and informed by them of the disastrous consequences to follow if Drury wore chosen—the A. P. A. would ruin them hereafter if they dared select Drury. In consequence Campbell was selected and Drury got left. His views regarding his party were no doubt ereatly enlarged or modified. He perhaps begins to think he has occupied the Vrrong pew all thiB time. An old citizen, a tax payer, an industrious man, in seeking a slight recognition from party friends, is sot down upon because he is a Catholic. Wonder how John Johnson and some other Catholic republicans like the situation and what aro you going to do about it?
IT SEEMS quite probable that there will soon be instituted a thorough overhauling of the pension rolls such as has not been known since the close of the war. It is certain that many who have been posing as ex-soldiers, but never smelt powder, will have their feed cut off and compelled to earn their living the same as other non-combatents. The pension rolla should be thoroughly examined.^

The New Great South American Ours. The acknowledged superior care and immediate relief for all derange meats, painfulneBs and decay of the kidneys or bladder, Bright's disease, diabetes or any complaint that hurts or despoils either of these delicate organs. This new remedy has been thoroughly tested by learned physicians and found far superior to any medicine yet discovered for quickly relieving all weaknesses, aches, pains and distresses arising from diseases of any part of the urinary passages. It is a great relief for the old, middle aged and children, male or female. It relieves at once retention and pain in passing water, and it is very effective in relieving prostratic troubles in the old, and for nightly incontinence of water in children, or others, caused by weakness of the bladder. It may be worth to many a hundred times its eost. This is a remedy of great value to ladies, because they are very liable to weakness and pains peculiar to their sex.

Now Christopher went on discoveries bent. And captured more honors than ever were meant For mortal to wear.
But Mrs. Columbus, I think—yes, I know it, Is pining for notice from rhymster or poet, Let her have her share. While Christopher studied a dingy old chart, She doubtless did washing—a heroine's part,
And dreamed of the Fair."
While'Christopher's life was so brightened byhope^ SHer task would have lightened if Santa Claus Soap Had only been there.
