Senator Hill's treachery to the democracy is the most shameful In the political history of the Unite-! States. The trust, about which certain senators are much coreemed, does not seem to be that trust reposed in th.nn.by the people. David V. Hill has digged '.lis political grrave. And the Quicker lie pets into it the better a long-suffering people will te pleaded. Mrs. Lease now churns the authorship cf "Wrap the Flag Around Me, Boys." fhe hasn't, however, st up a claim to ever having written a lullaby. If the proposed senate amendments are ever mad? a part of the Wilson bill the democratic party will attain a close resemblance to the snakes in Ireland. Tariff reformers will find pleasure in the fact that Mr. Blanchard, the rw fenator fro.n Louisiana, voted for the "Wilson bill in the house. The Wilson bill is badly in need of friends in the Ecnate. Republican clerks In the pension office arc doing all in thir power to discredit the administration with the old soldiers. .-Civil service reform does not require the retention cf such offensive partisans In office. The Roby gang seems to have captured pretty nearly everything in Lake county. The orgies conducted by the pang are not half so disgraceful as the Fhameful miscarriages of justice which, have attended the attempts to suppress them. Henry Watterson profuses to be very much disappointed in the administration of President Cleveland. Col. Watterson has never quite forgiven the democracy for nominating1 and electing Mr. Cleveland after Col. Watterson had solemnly declared the thing couldn't be don?. Under the blading, "Obstructing Commercial Prosierity Senators Whose Demands for Protection of Local Interests Delay the Import of the Tariff BUI to the Senate," th New York Herald prints portraits of Murphy. Call, Morgan, (Jorman. Faulkner, Smith, McLaurin, I 'ugh and Berry. This is a char case of protection to David P. Hill, th? worst cf the lot. The St, Louis Republic has been thinking it over and concludes: Mr. HaiTison's short speeches en route to California, were enough like those he made in his front yard at Indianapolis in 1S$ to justify the belief that he is convinced that history sometimes repeats it elf. Here in Indianapolis the understanding has been that Mr. Harrison has been firmly "convinced" ever since March 4, The copper output of this country last year was 141,011 long tons. Of this amount S.-JS? tons were exported and old to the pauper laborers of the rest of the world. Th- United States produces one-half of all the copper mined in the world, and exports ."5 per cent, of Its product. The copper trust sells copper cheaper in foreign countries than in this country. And yt we are informed that this industry will be ruined by foreign competition. These interesting statistics regarding women in bank3 were compiled by Lenore D.

Any means by which persona may communicate with each other is the subject of much interest, whether this means of communication be the regulation church sewing society, or the more modern telephone. Kxperiments with long distance telephoning go steadily on, and the latest conclusion reached is that soon we shall be ringing uy Queen Victoria to ask her If she has recived the resolutions sent her from here last week. A wire which carries eound perfectly, and which dees not need any Insulation at all, has been discovered. The new wire is composed of eteel coated over with cepper. Mr. William II. Eckert, general manager of the. Metropolitan telegraph and telephone company, has been experimenting with the wire for the past month. At Plalnfleld. N. J., a fine wire of steel and copper was laid through a mile of country road mud without any insulation what, ever. The wire was partly covered with water and ran through a brook, but whispers could be heard over it. But erne wre was used, the earth taking; the place of tiie return wire. The bimetallic J

TWELVE

wire, as it is called, will now be used in experiments with telephoning undt water, and eventually may connect America with Europe.

THE LATEST IXFAMV. The senate committee has made its report on the Wilson bill, and the report simply infamous. It shows that the sugar trust, the whisky trust, the railroad and coal combine, and the iron mine combine have had their way with the committee, and the whisky man from Troy has had his demands granted as to collars and cuffs. The sugar trust is given a donation of fo'ir-tenths of a cent per pound, which is, in fact, a greater advantage th.3n the McKinley donation of five-tenths with one-tenth additional as against countries which pay an export bounty, because the duty of 1 cent per pound in raw sugar added to this gives the trust absolute command of our market, as against any outside competition. If Mr. Havemeyer did n-t dictate this section he dictated it to some one who did jictate it. It is simply an outrage on the people and on the democratic party. It is a thing that cannot be explained or justified to any intelligent man, or to many Who are not intelligent. And th bounty of 2 cents a gallon on refined molasses is equally indefensible. If it be democracy to give such favor as the? to notorious, lawless trusts we know of no way in which democracy can be distinguished from republicanism. The extension of the bonded period of whisky from three to eight years is an even worse concession to one of the worst trusts in the country. The man who i3 responsible for it is an enemy to the democratic- party, and we may add in this connection that we do not believe that Hill, or Murphy, or Gorman, or Price, or Morgan, or While, or Caffory is in any way responsible- for it. There will be some pretty close guessing at who is responsible if this scandalous favor to the whisky trust goes into the law. The duty on lead is not very material, and its extension to mixed silver and lead ores will not bo rcgarJed with great aversion because it is to tont" extent a compensation to the western states, whose industries liavo been seriously impaired by the demonetization of silver. The greater part f-t the silver produced in this country is produced in conjunction with lc-td. and as this duty of three-fourths of a cent pr pound is only one-half of the McKinley duty, it cannot be considered altogether unreasonable. Resides this, lead is not an article of universal consumption like iron or coal, or even collars and cuffs. The duties on coal and iron cannot bo defended even on the principle of protection. They are impose J solely for the benefit of the railroads of th -country, which own most of the coal and iron mines and want to force every one to use their product. The increase of duties on collars anil cuffs is a concession to the vile New York influence which has long been held in detestation by the people of the country at larg and which at length seems to have turned tiie stomachs of the people of New York. These amendments will rot do. They must be stopped. If the senate does not stop them the house must. So far as political effect is concerned congress can better afford to pass no tariff bill at all than to permit any such sale and delivery of the party as this. For the party will not be delivered. It took its stand when It said: "We indorse the efforts made by the democrats of th present congress to modify its (the McKinley bill's) mot oppressive feature-? in the direction cf free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people In intrusting power to the democratic party." Put those raw materials back on the free list; wipe out those favors to trusts; or else understand that when j-ou return to your homes you return to an indignant people, who will mete out punishment to the men who betrayed them. Mitt' YORK AM INDIAN . Of the seventy-five persons indicted in New York City for ballot-box frauds eleven were tried and convicted, twentyfive pleaded guilty and five forfeited bail, while the others were discharged by the distriet attorney. The result is highly gratifying to the friends of honest elections. The desertion of the little rascals by the bosses will be a warning to the creatures who have committed these ballot-box crimes. Indianapolis Journal. As the Journal says, this result is highof elections had been brought in New elections. But at the same time it calls to mind the marked contrast between the way in which they handle these matters in New York and Indiana, Immediately the charge of corruption of elections had been brought to New York the officials of the courts, who, by the way, are all democrats, set about bringing the guilty people to Justice. As the Journal says, the little rascals were deserted by the bosses and were punished as they deserved. Most of them were democrats and th ir punishment was secured by democrats. ' Now, let us reflect a little bit on the way things were done in Indiana in the fall of JSS8 and the early spring of At that time 140 people were indicted for fraudulent and corrupt practices at the polls. These indictments were found in the federal court by a grand jury composed equally of republicans and democrat. Nearly all the persons Indicted were republicans, for the state had been carried for Benjamin Harrison at the election cf 18S8 by the most corrupt prac

tices ever known to American politics. Bribery bad been carried on by the wholesale under the manipulation of William Wade Dudley with his blocks-of-live scheme and with the full approval of the republican national and state committees. Of the 140 people indicted but one was convicted and he was not punished. He waa a democrat, who, early in the morning, voted for Cleveland and was then made drunk by the republican managers and later voted fcr Harrison. Hut no punishment was ever inflicted upon him. The republican bosses hadn't deserted the little, rascals. In fact, there were stories afloat and pretty well authenticated, that the little rascals ro.up in arms and refused to be deserted; that they declared themselves to the effect that If they were deserted th" bosses would have to .suffer, and one who was

something of a boss himself declared ' that his coat-tail pockets were filled with dynamite and that the boss boss didn't dare to kick him. One of the most devoted of the bosses in his caie for the little rascals was Boss Woods, judge of the federal district court. By his aid at opportune times, Ross Dudley was enabled to escape justice. Ross Harrison rewarded Boss Woods by making him a circuit judge. Another boss who didn't desert was Ross Miller, who crime to Indianapolis and arranged forMhe release of the little ra reals and in identally the b!ggr rascal, Diic'ley. Another boss who didn't desert was Bos Stanton J. Feell, who had been on" of the leading advisers of the republican state committee during that corrupt campaign and who was employed by Boss Michener, chairman of the state committee, to defend the little rascals. Boss Peelle was rewarded for his devotion to the little rascals by a life appointment to the court of claims at $5,000 a year. And then there was Ross Chambers, it was his duty to prosecute the little rascals. Rut Ross Chambers prosecuted with such a 1a k of vigor that none of the little rascals suffered and after placing a number of the latter cm trial he nollied or dismissed the cases against all the rest. And ix'-.v Ross Chambers is one of the leading lights in the party of great moral ideas in Indiana and a prominent candidate for governor. And th .Journal itself is something of a boss at times. Yt it ner bad one word of condemnation for any of the little rasr-als, nor on word of anything but praise for the bigger rascals like Dudley and Woods and Chamber, even lauding the latter's declaration that Dudley's course was that of a patriotic citizen. The contrast drawn is one not at all flattering to the stat of Indiana. Rut it is thoroughly fair and strictly honest. The republican party in the state of Indiana and almost universally throughout the United States has evr defended its little rascals when their little rascality has helped the party. On the other hand the uennx-ivey has nver failed to prosecute offenders against the ballot laws, because they were democrats. The Chicago boodlcrs were convicted by the aid of democrats. Coy and Rernhamer in Indianapolis were convicted by the aid of democrats and Coy was pardoned by a republican president after a democratic president had refused him a pardon. Ross McKane in New York, who has just been landed in the Sing Sing penitentiary through the efforts of democratic prosecutors, after a trial in a democratic court, was received at the white house in 1SSS by President Harrison, a republican, and was honored with his organization by a place in Harrison's inaugural procession ahead of that of the regular republican organizations from Long Island. It is almost safe to make the broad and general assertion that no republican was ever convicted of election corruption through the aid or assistance of republican officials. The republican theory has been, in Indiana especially, and throughout the country in general, that no act, however vile, done in the interest of the republican party was unjustifiable. The conviction of the New York corruptlonists, democrats though they were, is convincing evidence that the democratic party is the party of honest election and good government, and the failure, or worse, of the republican party to prosecute its criminals is equally convincing that the republican is not the party of good government. V AOTEWOItTIIY ADVAXCK. With the first trembling, uncertain attempts at the opening of spring we find promising signs of progress in our esteemed neighlxr, the Journal. It is putting forth buils which give hope of flowers and fruit in the line of tariff reform. With proper nourishment and encouragement we believe it may at last reach a point where it will be able to discuss the tariff question fairly, even If not Intelligently. For example the Journal says: Until 1846 England had the most rigorous protective policy the world ever knew, and had been under it for more than a century. For years it was a felony to export machinery. Again and again we have begged the Journal to publish this notorious fact In connection with its statement that "British free trade ruined Ireland." We have urged it to let its readers know that Ireland was ruined since 1845, and that all the evils of which the Grattans and Connors complained were lr.aglnary that during all th alleged sufferings of the Irish people for the century preceding 181 they were In fact enjoying the blessings of "the most vigorous protective policy the wDild ever knew." That Is exactly what they were doing. Ireland was playing the West and South to England's Massachusetts and Pennsylvaniaduring that blissful period. But the Journal misses a great opportunity. It quotes with approval several passages from Mulha.ll, showing that It is acquainted with the works of that distinguished, statistician, but It neglects

to show by him how the wages of English workingmen have decreased under the baneful influence of free trade. Now, Mr. Mulhall gives the following figures as a comparison of wages in England, the figures being in shillings paid per week: Blacksmith l'I L'S "2 Mason r "o ? i'arpmter z) " SO Plumber -jj ::i) 3. Cotton-spinner js 24 In all classes the wages have advanced 50 per cent, or more. During the protection period, by the same authority, workmen in Ireland averaged S pence per day, or 16 cents. Now they have advanced to the point of earning wages crjuül to thoF paid on th Indiana polls stone pile for the unemployed. The Journal also spoils, to some extent, the guol effects of its publication of a little truth by putting after it the following rot: From !ier location, her commerce, her wealth a::d her protection England, at the time she adopted the free-trade policy, was more than a century ahead of any other nation in the art of manufacturing. Thi3 Is funny rot! Just think of England being "a century ahead cf any other nation" in 1S4i. Here are Mulhall's figures for the values of manufactures In three years for four countries. They stand for millions of pounds sterling. That is to say, if you want to reduce them to dollars, add six ciphers and

multiply by five: 1Mv iw 1W . . :'7 1Ö7 . . Cfit "Mt m . ir.it xn r,s . !i : i.i C.reat Britain.., France , Jern'.nny United States... From this it appears that France caught up with England's century tdart in twenty years, and so did the United States, and thi.. although in those twenty years, the United States had what th Journal usually calls free trade. And notice also that in forty-eight years of free trade ;reat Britain has more than doubled her production. Arid notice also that the United States manufactures more than Great Britain and France or Great Britain and Germany taken together. This will prepare you for the Journal's statement that "there is -ry little difference in the cjualily of the machinery here and in England." And yet, only a few days aco in our prize contest for republican editors, the El wood leader published letters from several manufacturing firms who eil their American made machinery in England as veil as the rest of the world, that their competition was successful on account of "the superior quality of their g-ood"." And again th Journal quotes with approval: Through th improved methods of production the productive capacity of t n laborers in England is cjiirl to twenty in Fiane. twenty-six In Germany, twenty-seven in Austria, forty-thre in Spain. and sixty-one in Italy. And it also talks about the superiority in "productive energy" of English over continental workmen. This is largely true and accounts for the higher vage paid in England. Now take in connection with it this statement of the Hun. James G. Blaine: The hours of labor in th Tmcashire mills are flfly-si?r. in the Massachusetts mills sixty per week. The hours of lalxir in th mills in the other New England states, where the wages are generally less than in Massachusetts, are usually sixty-six to sixty-nine pr week. Undoubtedly the infualities in the wages of English and American operatives are more than equalized by the greater efficiency of the latter at.d their longer hours of labor. i Mr. Blaine had discovered that wages in th United States- were higher than those jn England for the same reason that th Journal now finds English prices to be higher than continental juices. Now let the Journal make one more effort and see if it cannot catch up with Mr. Blaine. A NEW V ItlKI,t: IX ICE. In connection with the fact that Indianapolis is to have a new and gigantic ice manufactory it is interesting to note that Ixndoners now have their ice frozen Into small cubes which break into regular shapes when tapjted by a penknife or chisel. Instead of flying all over everything in jaggd pieces. The invention for the manufacture of cube ice was recently exhibited in London and described by the Lancet, which says: In tho course of some experiments Mr. Van der Weyde observed that ice at a temperature below freezing point, when newly cut and left in contact, adhered so strongly that it would not bieak in the same place, whereas, when exposed to a warmer temperature, it would ?plit at the originally cut places with great ease; and so, with thLs extended knowledge of the interesting phenomenon of regelation, first brought to lUht by Faraday and afterward studied by Tyndall, Mr. Van der Weyde developed his Invention as the outcome of its prattle il application. The phenomenon of regulation Is the result of the notion of capillary force at the boundaries of the film of water which connects the pieces placed in contact, producing an e;1e:t equivalent to attraction between them, just as two plates of clean glass with a liim of water between them seem to adhere Ice being wet by water, tlu, boundary of the connecting film is concave, and this concavity implies a diminution of pressure in the interior. The film accordingly exerts upon the ice a pressure less than atmosphere, and as ihe re-note sides of the blocks are exposed to atmospheric pressure there is a resultant force urging them together and producing stress at the small surface cf contact. Melting of the ice. therefore, occurs at the places of corr:avt and. the cold thus evolved freezes the adjacent portions of the water film, whica, being at less than atmospheric pressure, will begin to freeze i.t h. temperature a littie above the normal f.eezint point. It is necessary to allow the block to "warm" for a short time, so that the "cement" f ice ictes its previously tenacious hold vpon the small cubes into which the bl cl: is divided. Then, after this wsrming-up process, the cubes are as easily separated as postage stamps from a perforated fheot. A sixteen-pound block of iee, for Instance, can easily be divided into TM luif-oance cubes, or a thlrty-two-pound block into 512 one-ounce cubes. The advantages of cube 1 are many. The trade mark of the manufacturer is plainly stamped in each cube, which is a guarantee cf Ihe purity of the ice. The tiny blocks ar muh more rrtiamental than the rough blocks and there Is no waste. Lumps may be fro.en of any size to order, and the min with the "swelled head" may enjoy a cube as large as he wishe. The democracy of Illinois Is firmly committed to the idea, of the popular election of senators. At the meeting of

the state central .committee a resolution was submitted calling upon the counties at their local conventions to instruct their delegates as to their choice for United States senator, it was adopted without a dissenting vote., so that the precedent established at the stat convention of two years ago will undoubtedly become th permanent policy of the Illinois democracy. The example of the Illinois demociacy will prove infectious. Something that will bring the senate into closer touch with th people is the demand of the hour and the democracy outside of the Fenate is over ready to obey the voice cf the people. KT CKTEIIA.

The reason for the delay in the nnrriage of Miss Morris-, the Baltimore belle and beauty, and Freddie Gebhard, is understood to he connected with the religious ceremony. It is now undTstocd that Cardinal Giblions. who will perform the ceremony, has granted dhtpcnsatloii to Mr. Gebhard, who is a catholic, to marry Miss Morris, who is not of that faith. I'.eside having his trousers creased, th swell young man will have his coat sleeves creased also this spring. V. Suffern Tai!r always wore his coat sleeves creased.

Th latest atrocity in the interest of fashion is a corset for the foot. The new instrument of torture is made so as to enable a size smaller shoe to be worn than would he otherwise possible, and consists of a strong band of web. which Is fixed around the instep while the foot Is off the ground. When it is in place, it is compara lively easy to put on a shoe which is aJtogether too small and the pressure being on the corset the shoe does not stretch. The latest American invention In Paris is a corset of commotional interest. It is called "The Highly Moral Corset." When a lady wearing one of these corsets is squeezed unduly by the encircling arm, during a dance or at any other time the corset emits a screech like a steam whistle. So that parents and guardians need no longer worry about their pretty charges, so long as the girls are within a mile or two of the house, and wearing one of these tell-tale corsets. House bill 237. now before the Massachusetts legislature, provides that "no woman shall appear at any public performance or on any public stage unless she be clad in a dress the skirts of which do not open at the side, and descend to within four inches of the ground or floor, and the waist of the dress shall be so constructed as not to expose any part of the bust. No woman shall appear in visible tights, nor engage in public in any exhibition of high kicking, or fan, serpentine, hip, or skirt dancing." Persons convicted in the act shall bo fined not less than 510 nor more than $50). Queen Victoria has two fads. One of them 1? a conservative fondness for things she is u?ed to, as shown In the fact that the little ivory paper knife she uses was in her possession when she was a little princess. The cabins of the royal yacht are still brightened with the same colored chintz which her dead husband liked. The queen also has a particular love for fresh air, and sits in rooms so ce4d that no American woman could endure thera. She recently had her summer garden tent taken out of Its winter quarters and set up on the lawn and in it she sat for several consecutive days signing official documents. A government publication pictures two Alaskan families of Eskimos, one civilized., the other uncivilized. The latter are clad in skins and have sullen, incurious faces, while the former appear In rather illfitting civilized garments and were evidently alive to the presence of the photographer. Perhaps the most striking contrast, however, lies in the eyes. Those of the civilized Eskimos are well opened, while those of the others are mere slits. Doubtless this difference tells the story of differing household conditions. The uncivilized Eskimo dwells In a dim. pmoky hut; his civilized fellow has learned to live in the light. L. O. S. Clary of Mlltonvale, Kas., recently killed an eagle near that place that measured seven feet from tip to tip and weighed eleven pounds. The eagle wu.s seen to alight late the night before., ad Mr. Clary walked four miles before daylight to get a shot at It. The mate to this bird was killed a thort time before In an unconvenlonol manner. It "had caught a" chicken in a farmyard, when a

dog frightened it. causing It to fly against a wire fence. It was stunned by the impact and a small boy caught it by the legs and called for help. The bird recovered its senses and flew for forty feet along the ground, dragging the boy after it. A farm band hearing th boy's cries, came ip and cut the bird's head off with an axe. '

5TIIEET. PKKIMiS. Necessity is the. mother-of. invention and hard times Is the. -godmother of necessity. Hence it is that during the hard' times the necessity of making a living for one's self and family produces many new and novel occupations. Indianapolis has a good many people who are earniug a livelihood by odd schemes, suggested by necessity, and there Is little reason to doubt that many of these bright ideas which, during the hard times have merely produced a good living, will. In time, make their discoverers fortunes. One of the people whom th hard times caught unprepared was Mr. H. T. Hill, who lives east of the d'y on Washingtcnst If the Pickings man is correctly informed. Mr. Hill is possessed 0f a god deal of energy, considerable Ingenuity and. best of all. a splendid helpmeet. Mr. Hill likewise is a devoted husband and a keen admirer of his wife's ability. Among Mrs.. Hill's talents is that of making doushnuts as our grandmothers made them. Mr.. Hill often suggested that lots of people would like the privilege of eating such doughnuts as his wife produced. When the hard times and consequent short rations came on the idea materialized so far that Mr. Hill induced his spouse to make four dozn doughnuts and he started out with a basket to sell them. The children took ti the savory odor of the warm doughnuts and. begging pennies and nicklei of their parents, soon had the latter interested. The result has been that Mr. Hill has become entirely unable to supply th demand by himself. The whole family makes doughnuts d?y and night, and It has been necessary to employ two or three additional doughnut deli ercrs, and th daily output from th whole household is now about four thousand crisp, savory twisters. All thin in a little over two month". A young man on the North Sid was in sore distress last niht. Be took his best and in fact his only decent pair of shoes to a dealer to have them mended, intending to stop and get them at ft o'clock, as he had invited his best gi:l to attend the band concert. What was his consternation when he called at the shop at t o'clock to find that th shoe man had sudden ly gone insane and hail been taken to the asylum. Th shop was locked, his shoes on the laside and not another store open. He had just enough money to take his girl to th concert and could not have bought a new pair if the stores had been open. He rushed around frantically, but all to no effect. He was obliged t wear rubbers all the evening, though the streets were drv. A great compliment was paid western girls recently by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who lectured before the young ladles' college at Sing Sing. MNs Mary Denny, daughter of Mayor Denny, is a pupil at the college and Mr. Hieginson whs struck by her close attention to his remark". 11 asked to meet the young lady and said: "Miss Denny, I know you must be a western girl, for the western young ladies are notd for the rlos attention with which they listen to lectures. The people of the West ar far better lis- i teners than these of the East." A funny case is noted in Maiden tone, New York, where a prop"rty-oner has painted an immense building a bright yellow and the jewelers around are forced to move as the yellow spoils the tint of their diamonds, making the whitest ones appear yellow, and trad is being ruined. How a jeweler in the vicinity of the Indianapolis industrial union would rave, for it is the very yellowest yellow imaginable and destroys the harmony of the whole street. The paint bucket has appeared on the j streets and carpets float their oriental colors from the back yards. In other words, house cleaning time has come. THE STATE t'KESS.

Every interest of the. country demands a speedy settlement of the tariff question. So long as it hangs in th senate or anywhere else there will be stagnation and uncertainty. Bluffton Banner. Senator David B. Hill of Now York is blundering again. Hs opposition ti the Wilson bi'l in general and particularly the income taK and internal revenue features of that measure will not be forgiven by the democrats of the West and South.

The sooner be goes over into the republican camp the s.joner he will give an exhibition of manhood urd integrity, the lack of which have mad? him the most conspicuous disorgar.izer and fraud in the history of American politics. Evansville Courier. The presentation of the tariff bill to the senate has again been postponed. The democratic senators who demand a tariff for special interests in their own states seem utterly insensible to the intense feeling that is growing against them every day and in every quarter of the country. They do not seem to realize that their position involves them in the very worst suspicions, whether Justly or otherwise. Evansville Courier. United States senators ought t be elected by a popular vote.

The Wilson bill lias emerged from the senate committee on finance !n a battered and unrecognizable condition. All tiiat was ien:x-raiio in it has been pounded out of recognizable form.

COMiHESVM.W DIMM Tlie Friend f ihr- Soldier III Tension Bill. Congressman Bynum i-f Indiana is a democrat, lie is a democrat from principle, hut he is ioyal and a friend to th soldier. He has introduced a pension bj'l in congress that w ill mak him a reputation for honesty and probity of character among the defenders of the union that will b as lasting as the rock of ages. The bill is meritorious, and is full of wisdom and economy; it will satisfy. i:i a nieacur complete, every soldier who shouldered a musket in defense of the flag of his country. One of Its main provisions provides for the speedy adjudication of all claims and makes a ensiort a vested right which can only be taken away from the pensioner by a jury trial. It enlarges the scope of the law of lo. and authorizes an issue of ?r,oo,o00.0) 'tl leonds with which to pay pensions. Th features of this bill are certainly practical and sensible, and it will do away with the Ignominious actions of thos who have a grievance against a soldier and reports him through malice and spite at Washington. It will check th career of th wouli-le- assassin who would stab a soldier in the back and rip tip his honor to gratify personal revenge. Thank God there is a man. a democrat, who wants to see at a late day equal and exact Justice given to the defenders of the nation. Should Mr. Bynum's bill pass he will endear himself to the hearts of every patroit and soldier in the land, and their wives and children will say "Good and faithful servant." thou art blessed by those who fought to save iln country, and we gratefully accord honor to whom honor is due.
