Brother Blaine has had considerable fun with hire at one time and another, but In 184 Uncle George, allured, perhaps, by the prosnoet of beinir made Secretary of State, worked for his. former persecutor with characteristic petuianoe of sieech anl piety of demeanor.

And yet he fet a man of talent and of experience in public life, antique of aspect anu venement 01 speecn, . that sublimity of self-ad rniraUon which goes far to impose upon the world, and his private character is high. It is impossible to say that a man from Massachusetts may not be nominated for Freeidetht. improbable as the con tingency now seems; and Mr. Hoar may be the man. But there is one irrefragable objection. Like hi cousin, Mr. Evarts, and like Mr. Edmunds, he is virtually disabled JVXsa jttanwn , . . . and disqualified by his participation in the detestable conspiracy and fraud by which Hayes was dHtnped into the White House. Fraud vitiates all it touches, and Frmbie Hoar, member of the infamous eight of the commission to promote fraud, will not escape punishment if he ever goes before the American aeoDle.

BBamnnrvvl a nm Samw Mara f Wmrt TMM tha starena IlaatC Tha rawaraa ol PnwWlent Cleveland cm thU subject ha bis message rotolns; a bill to double tas pension already granted to a soldier named Hill, strik at an evil that is too frsquont. It arisas presumably from the weak gootl nat. ure or a desire to assap imioruiHHi on the part of the Individual me-mWrs ol Congress who introduce the bills, which are reported by the com mitten at their solicitation, or through inattention on th part of tha other wemlura lUforx the Senate or Hntine it it Bot likely that they aresubjectod to tho slightest erutlny, and go through. a 1 very natural, on ins strength of the committee's report. The extent to wliioh this action Is taken may be inferred from the fact ihxt th President ha now awaiting hi signature two hundred and forty bills grant ing and increasing pensions and replRCjng 0H tie tiljlt hxv6 been roii names of men stricken off. Alt of these esses had previously been actou upon adversely by the Pension Hureau. Mr. Cleveland concisely states the objection to this oiass of legisliilioa where he says in his message that "tha policy of froquently reversing by feclal enactment the decisions of ths bureau invested by law with the examination of pension claims, fully tiipMMl for such examination, and which ought not to be suspected of any lack of liberality to our veteran soldiers, ii exceedingly questionable. It may well be doubted if a committee of Congress has a better opportunity than such agency to judge of tha merits of this "claim." That h it exactly. How is a committee of Congress, heavily burdened with business, to give the careful examination to a matter of this sort that may lie exited from a dnnnrtment of the Administration ful ly equipped for tbe work, ami in the habit of sifting the evidence and nidging of its value. If it lack any facilities, for want of which claims are likely to suffer, the President further suggests that they bad better be supplied uy Congress instead ! attempting to supplement its work by this special legislation. The President hints that tha Pension Bureau has not, in the past. Shawn nv obstructive tendencies in th transaction of this busines. which certainly is true. The liberality of the administration of our pension laws has been the subject of favorable and unfavorable comment vor since tha war, and there Joes not seem to be the diwMinit nam! nf the interference of Congress unon this score.

An esteemed local coteropornry charges rascality upon tha Dem ocratic Senator of Ohio, because they absented themselves from their seats and thereby broke Uie quorum. It k not easy to discover how old a parliamentary device can be called rascally expedient. If the Republican iostmasters would vacate their seats, there would be no charge of rascality brought against there. Unfortunately, however. Republican office-holders ar not built that way. They hold on to their seats as if they were glued U tlinm Tha Democrats of the unto 7 a Senate did precisely what they anight to Save done.
