TANNER'S SILLY TALK; Criral- Eagerae t Ct Kepnch the Amerlean l'rupl. Corporal Tanner, ia his eagerness to oast a reproach t.pon the American people for their lack of gratitude to the veterans of the war. a!erted in a recent speech that "at least tea tnosisand honorably discharged soldiers aad sailors cf the Union army and navy lay down their heads this night on illets o( straw and eat the bread of charity in the almshouses of the United Slate." The answer to the general charge is that the Government of the United States pays a tension Recording to the degree of disability to every honorably discharged soldier who wa wounded or contracted disease in the service and in the line of duty. A pension is also paid to the widows ami minor children, and in certain cage to the aged and infirm parents of deceased soldiers. The pensioa expenditure for the next year wilt exeeed I100.DOO.W a greater sum than tha annual cost of maintaining the vast military establishment of the German Empire on a war footing. As for the specific charge, it would bo interesting to learn in what almshoueest are the 10.000 honorably discharged soldiers of whom Corporal Tanner sieaks. The general Government and many of the States have established homes in which the honorably discharged veterans are provided with every comfort, so that if any of them can bo found in almshouses their residence there is from choice rather than from necessity. Investigation will doubtless shew that most of these alleged soldiers in almshouses lack the essential requisite of an honorable discharge. Disagreeable as it Is to recall the fact, there was a disgraceful horde of deserters, bounty-jumpers and maltgners during the civil waf, aad it U quite probable that many of these have finally lodged in the almshouses of the country. How great is tho number of such there Is no means of as-certainlHg. but they must not be con founded with the veterans of the war. The policy of establUhing soldiers' homes under National ami State auspices should be liberally extended so a to provide a home for every honorably discharged veteran who may aeek one. This would be far more Ifboral lo the poor ami infirm soldiers lhaa the passage of an Indigent Pension bi',1, as the small amount from this source could not possibly mainlain them in any degree of comfort Itet tab pot ley atM net suit the eUim

It is hardly pesible that the rasn-ality of last fall can be repeated this year in any jwrt ol the country with success, and that Montana should signalize its entry into the sisterhood of States by submit. ting: to bo branded in such a foul manner. Harrison and Ouay may nlot ae they will and regard American voters - i ..ii i . . as purchasable and in the market for the highest bidder. They will find themselves confronted by sin indignant publicopinlon. which will render their iniquitooe designs futile. The people of Montana wUI not allow themselves to be defrauded of their choice of Congressmen, as the Nation was of its choice of President by purchased votes, for they have been warned by the lesson of the last election. If the notorious. Jhidtey attempts to employ his vilo arts in the newState he will meet with a far different recaption from that his agents experienced in Indiana. They have a very expeditious way of disposing ol obnoxious character in tho far West. There is no Judge Woods in Montana to screen Dudley, but a ceitain Judge Lynch, who is very prompt and effectual in his methods. This execrable plot against a new State is befitting an Aministration thet obtained control of the Government by bribery and corruption, and is ready, at all times, to prostitute the functions of the Government to gain votes. It is rather too early, however, to try again the foul methods that made Republican success po-sible. Tho public mind is still awake to tho enormity of the crimes committed against the most sacred rights of the American citizen, and the now eonpiracy of liat-rlson and Quay against tho ballot-box in Montana will, likely, lead to serious trouble for tho Administration.
