era]

The Democracy of our neighboring county of Newton held a large and enthusiastic convention at Mt. Ayr, yesterday, and placed in nomination an excellent ticket.

Judge William Fullerton, a Republican lawyer of New York, has submitted his Republican electioneering brief to the HouseJCommittee on v var Claims, in which he advocates the payment of the rebel debt. It has already received a very black eye at the hands of leading Democrats.

Our distinguished (more distinguished of late from his downcast appearance and the mournful expression of his eyes) fellow-cit-izen, H. E. James, late consul to Turk Island, is deeply concerned in anything that contributes to our “consolation!” \Ve reciprocate, and in our deep sympathy for him we have wished scores of times that one of those bird-manure beds co’d be convenient to his hand that he m.ght profit hy the use of poultices prepared from the deposits contained therein. These poultices applied in such close proximity to his olfoctories are verv sodthmg to him, and agree with his natural instinKs. — - - Xo shoe store shall sell “good Khom” —n > shoddy —cheaper than Ifineo Hopkins.

COMMITTEES.

We trust our readers will carefally peruse the veto messages of the President on his return of several private pension bills with a statement of his objections. We append a few sample bricks: To th» Senate: 1 hereby return without mv approval aeDate bill No. 183. entitled “An act for the relief of Thomas 3. Hopkins, late of Company 0, 16th Maine volunteers.” This soldier was enrolled in the Hrmy June 2d, 1862, and dUcharged June 30 1865. He was sent to the government hospital Sept. 20, 1863, and thereupon transferred to the invalid corps. He filed his declaration for a pen sion in November, 1880, alleging that while in the service he contracted malarial fever and chroon diarrhea and was seized with convulsions, suffering Trom great general debility. A pension of SSO a month was granted to him in June, 1881, dating from the time of filing his application, which sum he has been receiving ud to the present Mrae This bill proposes to remove the limitation fixed by the law of 1879 prescribing tne date prior to widen an application for pension must be filed in order to entitle the claimant to draw the pension allowed from the time of is discharge ‘rom the ser vbe.

If this bill should become a law it it would entitle the claimant to about $9,000 of back pension. This is claim ed upon the ground that the soldier was so sick from the time of the passage of the act creatia. the limitation up to the dare allowed him to avail himself of the privileges of t‘ e act taat he could not file his claim I think the limitatton thus fixed a veiy wise one and that it should not, in fairness to other claimants, be relaxed for causes not mentioned in the statute, nor should the door be opened to application of this kind 'I he beneficiary named in this bill hud fifteen after the accruing of hi* claim, and before it is alleged that he was incapacitated, within which he might have filed his application and entit ed himself to th»* back pension uom applied for. The facts here presented come so far short of furnishing a sat.sfactory excuse ior his delay that, in my judg rnent the discrimination neked in bis favor should not be granted. Gromeb Cleveland. To the Senate: I return herewitn without approval senate bill No. 1192 estitled “An act gian'ing a pension to Alfred Denny. ” It appears that the claimant entered the United States militrr\ service as a captain and assistant quartermaster of volunteers on thb 12th day of June, 1863. After remaining !u R ”vb position for Iss than a year hresigned to accept a civil position. The short record of his military service disposes no inenri u of au accident or disability. But twenfv wars after his resignation, and on the 12th day of Match, 1884, he reappears as tin a plienut for a pension, and all ges in his declaration filed i,. the p9usi?n bureau that in August. 1863, while in the line of duty, he was. bv a sudden movement of the horse he was rilling, thrown forward upon the horn of liis saddle and thereby received a rupture iu his right side, which at some time and in a manner wholly unexplained subsequently caused a rupture in his left side also. The numoer of instances in which those of our soldiers who rode hoises during the war were injured bv being thrown forward upon their saddles .ndieatps that tncee saddles were very dangerous contrivances. I am satiofied there is not a partlela of meric in this claim, and m facts are presented to me which entit e i* to charitable consiieration.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

Indianapolis News (Republican): At last the Fitz John Porter bill has p -ssed congress, and if t. resident Cleveland regards the right, his signature will soon make it a law. There are more reasons than one for hoping for this relief. "We won’t have John Alexander Logan defending the memory of Abraham Lincoln, fsr instance, and we won’t have the swash-buck-ling talk indulged in by Senator Butler—at least we hope not. But, seriously, while it is a satisfaction that this case, if it gets the president’s assent, as it ought to, will make an ending of a vast amount of demagogy, for which it has “stood in” these many years as raw material, the great glory of it will be as a sign that in spite of the unequalled political bitterness of this country, so much intensified by the memories of a civil war, justice can at last reach her own, or, again reach her own. The bill was once as far along as it is now. | Let us hope that Mr. Cleveland 1 will act differently from Mr. Arthur and contribute the last thing needful toward righting this great wrong. From its beginning few cases in history are more remarkable than this—and particularly remarkable in having w u the favor of the <°hief of those who once i opposed it. General Grant’s no-

ble action—the change which Generals Terry and Schofield and Getty subscribed to in further investigation— are tributes to character and testimony to the inherent force of the cause that thus won them.

MR. RANDALL’S BILL.

Chicago Herald: Mr. Randall’s tariff bill is constructed on the lines which protectionists have always followed. It reduces the tax a trifle on lumber and iron, increases it on wool and woolens and abolishes it altogether on fruit brandies and tobacco. In the course of time he, or men like him, will no doubt be prepared to increase the tax on such luxuries as coal, woolens, salt, glass and furniture, and repeal the impost on that necessity of life known as whisky. The revenues of the United States are derived in the main from two sources—customs duties internal taxation on tobacco and liquor. From the customs the receipts during the last four years have averaged $200, 000,000, and from internal revenue during the same period they have been about $120,000,000. Customs taxes are laid on more than four thousand different articles, the great majority of them necessaries. s’he tax is in many cases prohibitive, thus giving to a combination of home manufacturers a monopoly of this market. In almost every instance, whether there are imports or not, the price to the American consumer is increased all the way from 20 to 60 per cent. If the article is imported the duty is added to its selling price. If it is home made the increased price which the manufacturer is able to charge by reason of his “protection” gives him an opportunity to put the tax into liis own pocket. Thus the American people pay in the course of a year untold millions in taxes, not to the government, but to private individuals whom the government has taken into partnership. The tariff is so high that it yields a comparatively small revenue, whereas if it was much lower imports would be greater, the government would get more money, and the people would enjoy a very marked reduction in the cost of living. As a representative of the protectionist rings Mr. Randall naturally wishes to do away with internal revenue taxation as soon as possible. To this end this bill strikes out all tobacco taxes, which now yield about $25,000,000 yearly.— With that vast sum lost to the Treasury no further reduction in taxation will be possible for some time, and the combinations which by reason of tha tariff get more money out of the people than the government does will be secure for many years to come. The question is narrowed down, therefore, to this: Will the American people have free wool, yarn, shawls, clothing, blankets, iron, steel, copper, coal, lumber, glass, salt, pins, needles, cutlery, crockery, furniture, carpets, and the thousand things that they must secure in order to live, or will they have free whisky and tobacco? Mr. Randall does not hesitate to increa e the cost of the people’s clothing that he may give them free fine-cut and cigars, and when the time comes he will be equally willing to increase the cost of many other necessaries m order to give them free whisky. There are so many steals in the tariff; it operates with so much indirection ; it calls for so large a force of officials; it enables so many rings to divide with the government the privilege of taxing the people, and it imposes its burdens so unequally that the great mass of Americans, who cannot by any possibility be benefited by such a scheme, may be sure that so long as wealth and power can throw them a sop of free toba co or free whisky they will never have relief from the much more serious imposts. Mr. Randall’s bill is a monopoly bill. The tobacco and whisky tax should remain, and the taxes on the necessaries of life should go. Kid Gloves —new shades —a

Brothers: Again, we have been called upon to perform the last sad rites over one of our members. But yesterday, death laid his relentless hand upon our beloved brother, Harper W. Snyder, and suddenly called him from the scenes of earth, never more to receive or extend the fraternal greetings of our order, or mingle with us in the social walks of life,

It is one of the prominent teachings of Odd Fellowship to extend sympathy and comfort, not only to those of the mystic tie, but to the sorrowing ones about us, applying the balm of friendship and love to the bleeding heart in times of affliction, thus exemplifying the truth of our profession. Therefore, be it resolved, that the members of Schuyler Lodge, No. 284, I. O. O. F., do extend to the wife, children and relatives of our departed Brother, our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their sad and sudden bereavement.

Resolved, That our Lodge Hall and Charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days. Resolved, Tnat these resolutions be spread upon the records of our Lodge, a copy presented to the family of our departed Brother, also a copy each be furnished the Remington News Rensselaer Republican and Odd Fellows Talisman for publication.
