JULY 8, 1893.

THE PENSION BUSINESS. Much of the trouble arising now over the granting of pensions comes from the extiemo dt'mas.'oguery of the politicians cf both parties for years past ar.d the secret machinations of pension agents. They sowed the wind and the country is reaping the whirl-wind. Almost every Congressman of high or low degree has considered it necessary for his own personal benefit and to make himself perfectly solid with the old ex-soldier element to offer some bill in CongresB increasing the pensions of the soldiers of the late war, and pension agents looking to their own private pecuniary benefit have readily chimned in and encouraged the work. It was not that they were in love with ex-soldiers any more than with any other class but it would advance them politically and pecuniarily. It sounded patriotic, you know, to talk of *'our brave soldiers" whether they thought so or not. They counted not the cost or the unreasonableness quite often of their proceedings it helped them alone. The thing has become an expensive chestnut. At the beginning of the term of almost every Congress some political demagogue would introduce some new measure increasing or adding nev? pensions. But there had to be an end to this matter and the time has arrived, and in spite of the demagogish sentiment created the sensible people of all classes, democrats, republicans, soldiers and not soldiers, see that it must cease. A thorough investigation of the entire pension system will show that thiB country pays more and higher pensions than any government on earth, that wcrthy soldiers have not on proper proof been refused pensions, that many in proportion to their disabilities are paid beyond a reasonable limit, that political favoritism has entered largely into the matter of the bestowal of pensions, that the alleged disabilities of some are not disabilities at all, that the reckless bestowal upon thousands of men of quarterly pensions has created a spirit of dependence and laziness that is injurious to them, their families and the country at large. These are some of the exhibits made by an inspection of the pension system as created by the government thirty years ago, and modined at various periods since. The time to correct the abuses of it is here, and in spite of the wails of scheming political tricksters and interested pension agents, should proceed. Of course many of those who have been living off of the bounty of the tax payers of the country through pensions in thousands of cases much larger than they are entitled to, will howl imprecations loud and deep upon the pension department in its effort to bring about a reform in the system. Of course pension agents who have waxed fat at the expense ^of the ex-soldiers will denounce the movement in emphatic terms. Ihis is all

vto

be

expected. Regardless of the political fate which may be threatened to those who are aiming to do right in the matter, and of exact justice to the people the reform must proceed.

AT the last meeting of the city council the majority of the members very sensibly concluded that Crawfordsville was not urgently demanding brick streets and abandoned that project for the present. It was not so much the present stringent condition of the money market of the country that moved the council to this action, but the almost universally expressed opinion that the city does not need such expensive streets, and that the present thoroughfares of town are plenty good enough if kept in repair. The members of the council heard this opinion aud in language that they could not fail to understand. That sample of vitrified brick street near the Citizens bank, for the present at least, will remain all alone in its glory.

THE law reducing tariff imporst should be enacted just as soon as Congress has business under way. There is no sense in any further discussion over the tariff question and Congress should •act at once. Tho tariff talk has gone on enough, and the people are certainly enlightened sufficiently upon the question. The people last year voted for and elected the democratic nominees with the distinct belief that there waa entirely too much McKinleyism and protection in this country. Now the party should not disappoint them by failing to act at once in the matter. If Congress fails to act promptly in the matter its actions will be more loudly condemned than were those that passed the present law

TH* Indianapolis Sentinel has lately introduced type setting machines into its office, and that paper now presents a neater appearance typographically than before for many years. The type setting machine is said to do the work of four men, and is reliable in the fact that it does not get drunk Saturday night and fail to come to time next working day.

LIBERATED THE ANAEOHISTS. Gov. Altgelt, of Illinois, last week set free three anarchists from tho Illinois penitentiary who some six years ago participated in the mob and were conspicuous by their participation in the murder of a number of policemen in Chicago who wore in the discharge of their duty in aiming to surpress it. It was a mob composed solely of anarchists and while five of the ring-leaders were executed as they should have been, tho three just liberated received life sentences for participating in it. Tho act of Altgelt cannot but be looked upon as an unwise one. These men were guilty of murder and deserved all that the jury decreed they should receive. Altgelt does not soem to have acted from a merciful or humanitarian view, but questions the justice of their punishment upon legal grounds. The legal phases of the prolonged trial of the anarchists certainly pointed to the fact that their punishment was entirely correct. They had the best of counsel and were defended in a very able and adroit manner, yet the highest court of tho state in an exaustive opinion said they had been tried legally and legally condemned. Those individuals heretofore known and recognized as anarchists in this country are generally the laziest, mo3t worthless and dangerous class of any foreigners coming to this country. The secret Italian band known as the Mafia are respectable in comparison with them. The anarchists favor pillage, arson and assassination, that their wild and fiendish theories may be advanced. The person of diligence, economy and prosperity, is looked upon as an enemy to them and their insane ideas. No person who by industry has accumulated a competence has any right to its possession. The growth of such a sentiment is dangerous to the government and institutions of any country. Ita growth was nipped in Illinois in the punishment 69vere as it was of these dirty, hair brained leaders, and| little has been heard of it since then. This action of Altgelt is calculated to warm it into life again, to encourage the murderous Bentiments of these people, to revive the drooping spirits of these dynamite fiends. It matters not what numbers of names and from whatever part of the United States they may have been received on petitions asking for the reprieve of the anarchists it is certainly both from a legal poiot and in the interest of those who believe in good government, a movement to be hereafter regretted. The original sentence should not have been broken. If murderers should be punished then the anarchists of Chicago who received life sentences should have been confined behind stone walls for life.

EXTEA SESSION OF OONUBESS. President Cleveland, by proclamation, has ordered a convening of CongresB in these words: "Executive Mansion,

1

"Washington, D. C.. Jure 30,1893. "Whereas, The distrust and apprehension concerning the financial situation which pervades all business circles have already causcd great loss and damage to our people and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and privation to our farmers, and withhold from our workingmen the wages of labor "And whereas, The perilous condition is largely the result of a financial policy which the executive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws which must be exocuted until repealed by congress "Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, in performance of a constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation, declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at the capitol in the city of Washington on the 7th day of August next at 12 o'clock, noon, to the end that people may be relieved through legislation from present and impending danger aud distress. All those entitled to act as members of the

Fifty-third congress are required to take notice of thiB proclamation and attend at the time and place above stated. "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States, at the city of Washington, on the 30th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth. "GROVER CLEVELAND."

ANOTHER prize fight took place at Roby, Indiana, last week and there was no interference by the state authorities to prevent it. Gov. Matthews' words in this Roby affair seem to be composed of more wind than weight. The public was led to think that no more of these disgraceful affairs would take place at Roby judged by assertions previously made by the Governor. Less talking and more work would suit the people better. He should moye on tho dirty eang the next time promptly and not take a brass band along to do it either.

THE United States Treasury paid out during the past fiscal year over $9,500, U00 as bounty to sugar growers, and yet the republicans, who passed this sugar bounty law, have the hardihood to talk about free sugar as sweetening for coffee, tea, "tho ardent," etc.

A FUTURE FIGHT.

By a very large majority th. democracy of the 8th congressional district are very well satisfied with Congressman Brookshire, both officially and as a democrat from his first ontr.iiiiro into Congress near six years ago. Me has from the first acted in the int-ivet of tho people, and no man, democrat republican, has failec* to have his attention when called upon in any mai lor that might be needed. A few sneaking spoilsmen of tho district wi'h which every party ife at all times cut.si-d, the class from which spring traders of votes, defaulters in office, and dead w. ij^hts to the party in general, have aim within the past few months to manufacture sentiment against him. With lis solid, the thinking, the substantial

in-liuii

of

the party this will amount to nothing. They know Brookshire has bt'fii true to party interests, and have fait in him. They will sustain him in the iuturo as in the past and as long as ho i*- of them and with them. In the campaign of '94 we desire to insert the prediction that Brookshire is the only man ti it can win, and if the democracy won. I witness a slaughter in this district K':nilar to 1886 let them follow up just :h tacticB this time as a few thugs an- aiming to create.and which pursued in, liut year.

THE crops in Indiana this promise to be the most extensive in her history. Wheat will show a go-nl yield, the hay crop will be as large as ever known and corn in the field tin- a most encouraging appearance. Had tnr rohave been a failure of crops this year it would, of course, have been attributed by republicans to Cleveland's election last November, the same as they account for the stringency in money matters to his administration.

If, as the democratic organs assert, "one-half of the pensioners are frauds," there ought to be no difficulty in pointing them out.—Journal.

The trouble heretofore has been that the republican politicians who managed fhe pension department did not desire to point them out BO long as there was a hope or intention of them voting the republican ticket. They are being pointed out now regardless of what ticket they may vote.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the raucous surfaces. Such articles should never be usedjexcept on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good YOU can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheeney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and iB taken internally, acting directly upon the blood, and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio by F. J. Cheeney & Co. Testimonials free. S3^~Sold by Druggists* price JTfic. per bottle.

The New Great South American Kidney dure. The acknowledged superior cure and immediate relief for all derangements, painfulness 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 cost.

This is a remedy of great valne to ladies, because they are very liable to weakness and pains peculiar to their Bex.
