Soldiers, remember it remained for a Democratic House, under the lead of the gallant Greenback Democrat of Ohio. General A. V. Biee, to secure for you at last the arrearage of pension so justly your due. This bill will secure to the crippled aud maimed heroes of the Union army a sum variously estimated at from $36,000000 to $150,000,000 that should have boen paid years ago had the Repub lioan party been as true to the soldiers as If was to the bord-holders. Allegan Democrat.

Conkling vs. Hayes. The victory of the administration over Mr. Conkling wa+ dearly bought. Not only has the administration con tracted debts which it will have to pay out of the civil service, but in the couise of the debate Conkling showed by the originals of the Idlers addressed to Collector Arthur that the pretense of the administra tion that it was working reforms in that service was not borne out by facts. Among the writers were Rogers, who is a convenient scape-coat for the tenant of the white hcuse, Secretary McCrary, McCormick, when assistant secretary of the treasury, and others, all begging places for friends of the President. A correspondent. who obtained something of the inside history of the executive session says: “The scene in the Senate during the reading of these letters was a most remarkable one. None such has been witnessed there for years. Mr. Conkling read one letter asking a Mr. Bradley be provided for in the New York custom-house because he was the son of Mr. Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court. “Son of whom?” shouted some Senator. “Son of Justice Bradley,” repli.d Mr. Conkling in a very loud voice. “What Justice Bradley is that?” asked another Senator. „Why, Justice Bradley, of the electoral commission,” said Mr. Conkling, “and of the Supreme Court of the United States.” “Oh, ho I” shouted a third Senator, “then they wanted to provide for him, did they?” “A similar scene occurred when another letter was read asking for the appointment of John O. Howard, of Ohio, ‘who had wiiiten a life of Pres ident Hayes.’ “Whose life is that which he wrote?” shouted a Senator with his hand to his ear. “Life of the President, President Hayes,” said Mr. Conkling, with some other remarks which were not complimentary to the head of the administration. “And then there were exclamations of mock surprise and loud laughter in the Senate.*' One letter asked for the aopointment of a man because he was the writer’s wife’s sister’s son. Altogether the exhibition which Mr. Conkling made of the practice, of the administration of civil service reform was a very humiliating one; and it showed that, while the President may have been trying ta reform the civil service, ho has had men around him who, to say the least, have had the weaknesses of ordinary politicians.” —Chicago Times.
