SEPT. 9, 1893.
EXAMINING THE PENSION EOLLS Whetaever the pension department under the control of Commissioner Cochran, who was as good a soldier as the best of them, seeks to unearth any of the frauds and corrupt practices heretofore existiug in that branch of the government, republican newspapers begin their howl against the "wrong" treatment of tiie ex-soldiers. This, to use a homely phrase, is too thin. Wrongs, if they exist should be righted and not one department should be omitted in the investigation. We know of no one who would deprive he who was a true and worthy soldier of one dollar of his pension, and all honorable ex-soldiere should be gratified that these investigations of the pension rolls are being made. In the long run they can injure no one but he who should be injured. The man entitled to and receiving a pension will certainly approve of the plan which will prevent those who are not entitled to it from being thus favored. The entire scheme on the part of republican newspapers is the creation of political capital st the next election and not that they desire justice to be done. They want to arrange the old soldier vote if possible* against the administration, regardless of any interest touthe tax-payers of the country. A rigid examination of the pension rolls has developed scores of cases of fraud. Can an honest man find fault with these examinations? Certainly not. Many pension agents and many partizan republican newspapers, of course, are opposed to such proceedings, but the honeBt voters of all parties of this country will approve it.
BIGHTS OF PEUSI0HEB8 President Cleveland has given an edict to Hoke Smith that 100.000 pensioners must be dropped from the rolls. That is one of the "reforms" on which his heart is set,—Journal.
Go ahead and complete the thing why don't ynu by saying that he has ordered another 100,000 pensioners beheaded and their families shot? Might as well make your falsehoods complete and they will sound better.
Let any ODO seek to bring about reforms and banish frauds from the pension department whose existance have become notorious and nausiating, and he is immediately pounced upon by every republican rascal, big and little, throughout the land, and denounced for his unfair treatment of the "old soldiers." The present head of the pension department has started in to correct these wrongB, and by the eternal he will do it regardless of fear or favor, as he should,and all honest people will applaud him for his conduct. Curse the political party that seeks to bolster up its weakness by schemes to take money from the government treasury where there is no justification for it. The true foldier is not to be robbed of his pension, but the bounty jumper, deserter and coffee cooler, although voting the republican ticket, should not have a cent of the government money, and the present pension commissioner, as true a soldier as went to the front, will try and see that he does not.
MEXICAN WAE DATES.
The soldiers' monument commissioners, with the exception of Langsdale, showed themselves to be possessed of very weak and vasilating natures in last week ordering the Mexican war dates removed from the monument, and will bring upon themselves the contempt of most people in so doing. They, at last, after the matter had been settled, undo the very thing which the public had approved in them heretofore. They have listened at the last moment to a coterie of small soldiers and cheap politicians about Indianapolis,and pursued a course contrary to the wishes of ninetenths of the people of Indiana. The commissioners should have remembered that the G. A. R. did not build nor pay for the monument, that the money obtained from that organization did not pay one-sixteenth of its cost, and that it had no right to dictate in the matter. The next legislature should settle the matter permanently by ordering the Mexican war dates restored as the commissioners evidently have not the sand to do it.
TUB declaration, of General Lew Wallace that he will march in line with the Montgomery battalion gives much satis^ faction to the comrades outside of thai county.—Indianapolis Journal. ^5,
That must according to the Journal be a wonderful piece of condesecnsion on the part of Gen.Wallace. It is probable that some of the other fellows who had to eat hard tack, suffer from wounds, and received $13 a month were permitted to march with him. GuBh, flapdodle and silly stuff, belong to such papers as the Journal when writing anything of most of the officers of the late war.
NINETEEN out of twenty pensioners who have had their allowances cut off had the cutting off done by republican examining boards.
ILLNESS OP THE PRESIDENT. Reports, many of them probably unreliable, occasionally find circulation re: garding the health of Presidbnt Cleveland. It is said that he has been suffering from a cancer on the le side of his mouth and again it is said he is troubled with dropsy. These reports remind one very much of the condition that Blaine was in for a long time.. Assertions and demalB alternated regarding Blaine's health for a year or more before the public were truly informed that he was actually seized of a fatal disease. VfIt is probably true that Cleveland at" this time is possessed of a malady—caucer— that will sooner or later close hip earthly career. Medical gentlemen for some unknown reason always Beek to conceal these things regarding any distinguished patient—they did that in Blaine's case and will wit'a Cleveland.
THE STATE NORMAL.
The affairs of the State Normal school at Terre Haute are again being aired through a long, carefully written circular, lately scattered broad cast by the board of managers, defending their action in their Bquabble with-, the students last June. The fear has been expressed that the usefulness of the institution might be impaired by these unseemly squables. That would be too bad to impair any institution that is nothing more than a pauper for the State to support and by which a few cheap politicians can yearly draw a few hundred dollars each as trustees The speediest and best way to settle the State Normal difficulty would be to turn it over to Vigo county, that county to run it and pay all expenses, and if it failed let the thing go down. The loss in an educational point would be little.
THE depositors of the defunct national bank of Indianapolis, of which Haughey was president, no .doubt would like to know what a bank examiner and bank directors are for. The examiner passed upon the soundness of the bank several times although the concern has been rotten and insolvent for years. The directors whose business it was to enforce certain rules governing the bank relating to loanB and discounts do not seem to have directed anything. R. B. F. Pierce was a director, yet he with the others seem to have left everything with the pious president. They now suffer for their carelessness and lack of vigilance in the loss to themselves of thousands of dollars with no prospect of ever recovering back but a small per cent, of it. Banks run in that manner go to the wall as is to be expected they should.
THM democratic leaders of the House of Representatives will at once, it is said, take up their plan as to a revision of the tariff and have a vote upon it in a few weeks. Revision as understood means a reduction, and that is just what is expected of them. The people voting for Cleveland did
BO
expecting him and
his party to act determinedly and sincerely in the matter. They demand a reduction in tariff rates. Let Congress while it has the opportunity heed the demand.
THE national encampment it is said, caused $2,000,000 or more to bo expended in Indianapolis, and yet they had the cheek last winter to aBk the State legis lature to make them an appropriation of 875,000 for enabling them to entertain the multitudes of ex-soldiers that wore to convene there. The wisdom of ro fusing the appropriation is now apparent, and if like refusals for other appropriations were denied the chances of the State debt being paid sometime would be much brighter.
PBTTIT, the alleged wife poisoner, is again slowly dying of consumption. These reports have appeared quarterly ever since his incarceration in the Northern prison near three years ago. His enemies who landed him where he is, doubtless desire that he "make a die" of it, BO that these reports shall cease. Seriously it would appear that, the expreacher's days are rapidly being numbered, and will close within the next few rponths.
WHEN the "Czar Reed" of Maine would make his speech in the House of Representatives on the money question republican newspapers quietly intimated that the country would be electrified. The speech was made, and a very ordinary affair it
waB.
The air was not par*
ticularly charged with electricity, and the earth continues to revolve on its axis. Reed seems email potatoes indeed away from any position where he can do dirty work.
THE Senate is now engaged in a long wrangle over the silver question, and just when a vote will be taken bids fair to be a long distance off. The silver men have much stronger advocates in the Senate than the House, and the majority of the anti-silver men, if any, will be very small. It seems quite prob able that the act known as the Sherman bill will be repealed by a majority in both branches of Congress.
AMID the wreck of matter and crush of
formB
it may be asked what has be
come of ex-President Harrison? He haa become as diminutive as was Hays after he had retired from the White House. Perhaps Benny is working up an essay on the necessity of "State Pride" for use in the campaign of 1896.
HUNDREDS of newspapers through the west that have been inserting a large elcctro, sent from Lima, Ohio, termed "Hil"s Tobacco Hal it" will lose their money from present appearancesDrafts drawn on the firm for advertising are returned unpaid, and letters from it are sent out saying that it cannot meet its bills
THE Big Four railway company have reduced the pay of train men such as passenger conductors, baggage men, brakemeu and others. It is not learned that any of the high priced superintendants, hare been similarly served.
SOME persons may know exactly how Senator Voorhees Btands on the present financial question, but from reading the recent speech delivered by him it can Bafely be asserted that few of bis constituents do.
About 30 banks and fully tnat number of manufactories that had suspended have resumed within the past 20 days. This is discouraging to the republican manufacturers of political capital.
A SETTLED,
SOME SAID THAT IT COULD NOT BE DONE,
ALU WAiTED WITH DEEP IN
TEREST AND KREATHLESS
ANXIETY.
Proved a Mighty and Invincible Con
queror at Last.
A rumor had gained circulation that the well-known Edward T. Feron, Esq., of 507 East 81 St., New York City,
Over twenty doctors had examined and treated his case, and all were forced to give up and acknowledge that his case was beyond their skill.
Then the remark was made that here was a test case for the great and popular medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is of course a widely known fact that this wonderful remedy rarely if ever fails to cure, but could even its marvellous curative powers restore health ij this most serious ase?
The Nervura was used and everybody watched its effects with deep interest and almost breathless anxiety.
We will give Mr. Feron's own version of the affair. "For five years" he said, I have been Tunning down, gradually losing my health and strength at last I got very bad and was troubled with pains in my back and around nv heart.
MR. BDWARD
T. FKltON.
I could not sleep at night. I grow so weak that I was obliged to stop work. 1 had tried more than twenty doctors but they could do me no gcod, so I gave it up as a bad job.
Then the great medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was suggested to me, and I took a bottle of it.
It made me feel so good that I tried one more, and now, after having taken four bottles I am well and strong again. I sleep soundly every night and can work every day.
I feel so strong that I can do any hard work without feeling any weariness or pain in my back or side.
I am at a loss to find words to express my thankfulness and gratitude for
The

utterly broken down in health, had become unable to attend to his duties and was really in a condition beyond cure.

thiB
wonderful discovery, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I have told my manyfriendsaboutit8wonderful curative powers and I would not be without it if it cost ten dollars a bottle. I advise people to use it if they want to be cured."
You can get it at any drug store for $1. It is purely vegetable and harmless, and /it surely cures. It should be used by all who are ailing, who are weak, tired, nervous, sleepless and run down. It is the best medicine possible to take. It was discovered by Dr. Greene of 35 W, 14th St New York, the most successful specialist in curing chronic and nervous diseases, who can be consulted free, personally or by letter.
Gaaranteed Care.
We authorize our advertised druggist to sell Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, upon this condition. If you are afflicted with a cough, cold or any lung, throat or chest trouble, and will use this remedy as directed, giving it a fair trial, and experience no benefit you may return the bottle and have your money refunded. We could not make this offer did we not know that Dr. King's New Discovery could be relied on. It never disappoints. Trial bottles free at Nye & Booe's Brug store. Large size 50c. and $1.00.
