The Express, as occasion requires, furnishes all the news from the seat of war. Its dispatches from Washington, while they may not convey the kind of information wanted by some of the readers can be relied upon as being founded on well ascertained facts. In short they are as authentic as anything from the senate could be that does not have the signature of the president pro tempore.
A correspondent asks the Chicago Tribune "What relation is Queen Victoria to Henry VIII?" and the Tribune reels off the following:
Henry the Eighth was the first cousin »f Jamee V. of Scotland, who was the father of Mary Queen of Scots, who was the great-great-grandmother of George I., who was the great-great-grandfather of Queen Victoria.
And still the echo asks "What relation is Queen Victoria to Henry VIII."
The Gazette gave. much credit to the confederate brigadiers in the present house for increasing the amount of the pension appropriation bill for the ensuing fiscal ye£r. The amount was fixed by laws passed by republican congresses. Thu?* it will be seen that the Gazette, while it deplores the payment of pensions, is guilty of trying to steal a little political capital for the brigadiers who did not dare to oppose voting money to meet the requirements of laws enacted before they came into power.
Vincennes is happy over the advent of electric light in that'city not particularly because the town wants the peculiar light shed from the carbon, but for the better reason that competition will lower, the price of gas and light generally. Terre Haute is now enjeying the first fruits of such competition. Light was never so cheap nor so good as at present, and we are happy to say that there is a prospect of still better figures for the consumer. Neither of the companies is in immediate danger of bankruptcy and both will make money on the principle which finds expression in the old axiom: "Competition is the life of trade."
The democrats in tbe senate should be known to all time as Pooh ^Bah Senators. "As senators they think it right to learn the special reason for turning republicans out of office, but as friends of the administration" they defend the president. They signed the inquiries addressed to the various cabinet officers but as political senators they think such inquiries wholly out of place. In the language of the great Quaker poet:
The saddest words of tongue or pen Are these It might have been. In ordinary, every day prose, that is to say,if Cleveland had plainly announced himself as one of us in the start, we would have been Isaved from this dilemma.
The outcry against the Bell Telephone monopoly is instigated^by the same motive which prompted the escaping criminal to shout "stop thief." The Bell monopoly is about as merciless in its extortions as any monopoly that ever imposed upon the people, but that does not alter the fact that a lot of senators and congressmen sought to get rich through the possession of stock in a rival company, for which stock they paid little or nothing. Mr. Garland, as senator did wrong to accept the stock, and committed amoral crime at least in holding it after he beeame attorney general, in which office he knew there must be action taken that would affect its value.
The people have too much self-posses-sion and astuteness to be fooled by the ery of "stop thief." 'V
The Texas democratic statesmen have a |more ^pronounced antipathy toward the ruling idea in this administration on the silver question than even our much esteemed contemporary, the Evansville Courier. Yesterday Mr.' Coke said hiB say about the merits of an administration
whose motto is, "public office is a public trust" and the big headed and loud voiced Texan told the country that out of 224 newspapers in hiB state, a state that gave Cleveland the largest popular majority he received in any state, only four endorsed the silver policy as evinced by Secretary Manning's official acts.
Mr. Watterson, who, with inherent and accustomed politemss pnt the case in neater form, was far seeing in his criticism when he said that the novice in the White house ,was one among eastern statesmen who knew nothing of the country and the will of the people west of the Allegheny mountains.
This democratic displeasure suggests that it would be a wise move, were such a thing possible, to give their president a sort ef finishing education that is send him on a tour of the country and give him an opportunity to learn that the sun has not been rising in Wall street and seting in Buffalo all these years that he has been the child and man of destiny.
VOICE .OF THE PEOPLE.
The Pension Question.
To the Editor of the Express. .IsJLJhP SIB: This question is now attracting universal attention throughout the country and "will not down" until it Is settled on principles of justice, and equity, and the laws, and rulings governing the pension office so changed in favor of the soldier that the men who saved this oountry from destruction will not be pnt virtnally in the attitude of robbers trying to be steal something out of the treasury. Criminals in our courts are* by the law presumed to bo jnnocent until proved guilty every safeguard, and technicality, the fertile ingenuity of the lawyers we send to our legislatures hare been able to invent have been put into our statutes, and "all doubts" as to his guilt are by instructions of the court to be trued to his favor. But how is the soldier treated when he comes before the pension department, and asks his government for a pension? The burden of proof is thrown entirely on him. His honorable discharge counts very little in his favor he must go back to his grand-parents, and prove a lineage of good health up to the day of his enlistment. But the government inspector did not stop if he was a reasonable health looking subject to inquire of his grandfather or his grandmother lived a hundred years or how long his parents lived, how often they were sick or how many doses of medicine they had taken, or how often they had the colio when a child, how many doses of paregoric or calomel and jalap he had taken, and who was his physioian from childhood to manhood. None of these questions were asked then, for the government needed men, and wanted them fat and quick at the foot. No reasonable doubt in the matter of evidence or the "circumstances" connecting him with the risks to life and health in a thousand forms while in the service obtains in his favor. He must prove everything, to the dotting^ of the I's and the crossing of the t's, and in thousands of cases, after furnishing all the evidence required in legal form, secret agents are sent ottt, who are drawing ten times the pay ever given the private soldier, and the witnesses in his case discredited, if possible in a secret underhanded manner disgraceful in a free government we call "the beet nnder the Bnn." It is well known that the exparte statements in letters from persons not under oath, have been sent to the pension department, causing thousands of cases to be marked "suspicious," and as worthy claims as were ever presented have been delayed for years- in consequence. Such cases are known to exist here in Terre Haute. It is high time the whole pension system was remodeled by a plain, simple mandatory law in place of the present parody on justice, with its inquisitorial methods which area disgrace to our government. It will be found oheaper to place all survivor^ on the rolls t.hnn continuing the present system, but no soldier who is wealthy or too "high toned" should be forced to accept a pension, and to guard the treasury from bankruptcy in the future the writer would suggest that only widows and minor children of soldiers at the time of passing such an act should inherit under it This would effectually shut out the yormg women of the country from hawking after the "old soldiers" for future husbands, and give the "soldier's friends" running the Gazette a chance to get wives, and pay taxes to help pay pensions. The Gazette's leading idea seems to be that poverty and patriotism go together. In this it is not alone. This is a poor man's cause, and very few papers in the land have opened their columns, or their editors in either party have written a word in favor of simplifying the present system in the interests of justice to the soldier but the moment anything of the kind is proposed, the Gazette and papers of its like in both parties make it the subject of double-leaded editorials, and make a parade of figures intended to scare the oountry if possible, and defeat any measure in favor of these men or inquiring into the rottenness and injustice of the pension system. The proposed appropriation of $75,000,000 this year is made the text for an article of some length filled with false assumptions through and through. In the first place it is hurriedly brought forward by-the democratic appropriations committee for the purpose of making a showing that will strangle the present movement, if possible, before its friends and the soldiers can organize.
There hjs been no increase in pensions that will require such an amount the coming fiscal year, and several millions, will very likely go over and be covered back into the Treasury. If General Black succeeds in so expediating the settlement of old Arrear Claims, as to get all of the appropriation paid out he will have done the country a valuable service, and the Gazette Editors, and lots of other poor men, will be able in consequence to get hold of their dollar and half each to pay their share of the Pension tax. Were the Arrears Claims cleaned up, the annual pension list, at present, would decrease not less than twenty millions. Very few new claims are being allowed, as it is now almost impossible under the present rules of evidence|laid down by the Department, to procare the proof required to make a case good in the pension inquisitional court. In the last five years ending June SO, 1S85, but 14.09 per cent, of the claims filed were allowed and for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885, but 2.09 per cent, of new claims filed within that year have been allowed, so that it shows when we get through with the arrears claims which make large first payments the pension appropriations will necessarily decrease fully one-third or more. The annual aggregate value of pensions for twenty-three years past has been only $88,090,985.28. The average annual amount paid for interest alone on the public debt for the same period was $95,870,409.05. The soldier had to take his pay for a number of years in a depreciated currency and patriotism. The government creditor's social claims whioh were bought during the war, and up to 1869 at a large discount,were long since recognized by congress as of much greater value in maintaining the Union than the men who stood as a wall between them and tyeir homes from 1861 to 1865. Had we failed their bonds would have been worthless, and long since I have been destroyed or occasionally seen pasted on walls as curiosities from the war, while confederate bonds would have undoubtedly been paid by the confiscation of northern property. There has also been paid within the same period a thousand millions on the publio debt, and corporations have been given public property, and subsidies by congress worth four times the total amount so far paid to the soldiers, who secured to all the vast wealth of this countiy its title and value. When they attempt a movement for their re lief from the unjust laws, and discriminations of the government against them, they are met with sneers and derision and every influence possible brought to bear against disturbing the present system now fast passing into hands that in many cases have neither respect for the union soldier or the cause he represents. It is not creditable to the exsoldiers or their oommon sense that they have not united ten years ago, and corrected things. If the pension appropriations were double what they now are it would afford general relief to the country and prevent any such distress and stringency for years to corneas we are now witnessing, benefiting all lines of business and giving employment to thousands of men now idle with families to support. It is a measure of simple justice and equity, and oannot possibly injure the oountry in any way, but will go far towards irrigating all lines of business and relieving laboring men from the present distress. 'Ho business man should oppose it. Formers and all classes of laboring men should sustain the movement, and take hold of it in their organizations. In no country on earth has individnal and corporate wealth accumulated so rapidly as in our countiy within the past twenty
years. In no other oountry has the wealth and capital been favored as in this, through subsides, and special privileges, and exemption from a just'share of taxation. The multiplication of millionaires by the thousand, and estates in some instaneee worth hundreds of millions almost entirely accumulated since the war, shows ihat labor has been robbed of its fair share in* this unparallelled march of wealth and now, with more and better money than ever before in our history, business is stagnant, labor unemployed by thousands, and absolute want prevailing in no small degree. This is neither a normal or natural condition. It has been forced on- the oountry through special privileges aocorded the wealth of the country, obtained through the hired attorneys and lobbyists that fill our state legislatures and congress. Did my comrades die by the thousands on the field or in camp and hospital 'and the bells of Andersonville and Salisbury that this Union might be saved, and this marvelous increase of wealth have a solid toundation for its title, and value to rest upon in vain? And shall those now living, the great majority of them poor in health and purse, and pre

turely going to their graves be sneered at by this generation, only twenty years from the close of that awful conflict, and told to hold their peace, as they have long since been paid all they deserved. Comrades, let us come together once more, touch elbows, and march to polls in one solid column,and by our votes send men to congress that will settle this question upon principles of justice and equity, and equalization alongside) the government creditor, end the special interests that have been favored by congress, whioh have taken hundreds of millions from the treasury in the last twenty years, and squandered the money on questionable jobs that have been of no practical benefit to the country. Even now the' party friends of sueh papers as the Gazette are Deeieging oorgress with sohemes and jobs almost entirely from the southern and eastern states. It would take a thousand million dollars to satisfy soldiers for the union. Democrats, republicans, nationals, all, of whatever name, "Btep into line" on this question, and let us work and vote for men who will promise -to take this question before congress and settle it upon principles of justice, and right towards the men still surviving from the war, and by so doing make a record our children, in generations to come, may look upon with pride as they read that their fathers were not permitted to die in poverty and want, after having given the best years of their lives to their country. If we expect this government to live on for the benefit of our ohildren in the future, set an example that will nerve them to heroio deeds of valor and sacrifice should war again demand her sons, as soldiers in its defence. The South is immeasurably richer to-day than ever before, because of our success. Thousands of our, late comrades have made their homes in that section of our Union since the war closed, and the people of that seotion will largely share in the financial benefits derived from an act of the kind proposed. Had they succeeded their soldiers would have been pentioned. Thousands of them would now favor a law of this kind, and would sign petitions in its favor as it would indirectly help them. But while believing they were wrong, and fought for a sentiment only, with slavery as the corner stone on which to build a separate government, they were brave, and heroic in battle, and we mean no abatement of their courage as men when we place thin question before their representatives in congress, and ask them to join hands in cementing together this Union by an act of justice that will forever stand as the crowning glory of their country, thereby acknowledging that the principle of maintaining the Union was right.

The Fifth Ward School.
To the Editor of the Express. gn: A large number of residents' of the Fifth Wbrd think it would-be advisable for the school board to come out and look at the condition of the Fifth ward school yard. The writer recently had occasion to visit the stock pens at the ditjjjerent stations along the Vandalia line and must say he failed to see one in a worse condition than the Fifth ward school yard. They tried to remedy it some time ago by putting cinders in the yard. They might as well have put so much broken glass in the yard. It was as much as some parents could do to keep the children in shoes. The sidewalk in front of the school building is about as bad. In fact, the sidewalks on Chestnut street from Thirteenth street to Tenth are about as bad as the school yard.

A
RARE EVENT.
Tbe C&lneae Hew Tear Celebrated by Grand Beeeption at the Capital. The Chinese New Year, which falls this season on February 4, was celebrated by a reception Thursday afternoon at the Chinese legation at Washington. The minister of the Celestial empire issoed a large number of verbal invitations last week through his Secretary, Mr. Bartlett It was thought at one time that the reception would be postponed on aocount of the death of Mrs. Bayard, who as wife of the secretary of state occupied a peculiarly prominent position in relation to the various foreign ministers resident in this city. Announcements to this effect were published in the local papers. This, however, was done with a view to prevent the crowd which otherwise woald have overrun the legation. The legation now occupies the residence on Dupont Circle known as Stewart castle, built and owned by ex-Sen ator Stewart of Calforaia. Early in the afternoon the guests began to arrive. By 5 o'clock the approaches to the embassy were fairly blocked with the carriages of those already within doors. The library and sitting-room, to the right of the en-trance-door, ^jrere used as cloak rooms, while the receiving party were grouped in the long saloon-parlor to the left. Here the Chinese minister, Mr. Cheng Tsao Ju, stood, his nephew, Mrv Cheng Hanson, who speaks English quite fluently, making the presentations. The minister was dressed in his handsome robes of state of deep Mazarin blue. On his head he wore a round black cm, ornamented with a scarlet button. Mr. Cheng Hanson was in a suit of Broadcloth his queue, instead of hanging down his back, was tucked away inssde his coat, and to an ordinary observer it would seem that his hair was clipped. Standing near tha minister were his several attaches in full dress, of various shades of lighter blue and brown, according to their respective ranks. Mr. K. Palm Lee, attacheet and Mr. Li Tai Lun, military attachee, were in citizen's clothes. The rooms were prettily decorated with growing plants, while smilax festooned the chandeliers. Dancing was to have been a pleasant feature of the reception, but this was omitted out of respect
to the memory of Mrs. Bayard. At one
end of the ball-room on around table stood a Chinese bowl of punch. In .the
ol pi
dining room adjoining, a large table was spread with every imaginable delicacy. At one end lay a huge salmon, covered with mavonnaise dressing and decorated with various odd devices of the pastry cook's art. At the opposite end, studded with jellied diamonds was a square block of boned turkey. The center piece was formed of flowers, which the attaches distributed among the guests later in the afternoon. On either side of this were a tall pagoda and a pyramid of dolphins formed of nougat, while dishes of terrapin, salads, croquets, ices, Charlotte Busse, and cakes were disposed the length of the table. Chinese tea was served from a round table in the bay window, near which were wines of various kinds. The tpmister himself uncorked and poured champagne for a few honored guests, who drank to the re-establishment of his health and to his continued prosperity.
As the minister^ wife is now in China, there are no ladies in the legation. Numerous gifts were received during the day by the minister from his friends in this city, as well as in his own countiy. In one of the ooms was a large blue plaque holding four immense pear-shaped oranges sent from China, and each weighing from a pound to a pound and a half. It was noticed by all that the diplomatic corps was but slimly represented. Mme. Nogueiras, wife of the Portugese minister, and Mr. and Miss Becerra, son and daughter cf the Colombian minister, were present. Other prominent persons were: Justice and Mrs. Field, Justice and Mrs. Blatchford, Mrs. Cummings, sister of the latter Judge ana Mrs. McArthur, Marshal Wilson, Miss Mary Wilson, Judge and Mrs. Carey, of Wyoming, General and Mrs. Logan, Mr. and Mrs. L, Z. Leiter, Representative and Mrs. Lewis Beach and Miss Beach, of New York, Representative and Mrs. Snowden and Miss Snowden, of Maryland, Mr. Levellon Brown, Mr. Spefford, librarian of congress, Senator and Mrs. Mahone, Miss Mahone, Mrs. General Ricketts, Mr. Morrill and Miss Sherrill.
