HARRISON’S CHINESE RECORD.

A Zealous Supporter of the Restriction Hill Just. Passed. The attack made upon Gen. Harrison’s Chinese record during tlie discussion of the restriction bill, led off by Vest in the senate and promptly followed up by Bymuu and others in the house, shows that the Democratic party is hard up for materialout to which- to formulate charges against the Wepu lican candidate. So far as the principle <>f Chinese restriction i concerned, it was settled long ago and with Gen. Harrison's acquiescence. So far as the practice is concerned, that is now settled, for twenty years to come at least, also with his hearty acquiescence. In his speech to the’Decatnr county (Indiana) delegation Aug. laths he said: "We should ‘■protect ottr people'against competition with the products of underpaid labor abroad as well as against the coming to our shores of paupers, laborers under contract, and tls? Chinese." The Chinese question Wassubstantiallv settled long ago so far as this country is concerned. and it is now settled satisfactorily to the Chinese, government. To dig it up now and to hold candidates responsible for any position they haw taken in the past is as absurd as it would lie to revive the old si ivery. issue Gen. Harrison's attitude towards this question is well enough understood and is thoroughly honest and consistent. In the original consideration of the matter of restriction during his term of service in the senate the record will be searched in vain for any evidence that lie publicly defended Chinese immigration or favored the -competition of cheap Chinese labor with American labor. His voice was silent, but his votes were given in Conformity with what he believed was our national duty under tile obligations -of the then existing treaty, and in company with numerous others in l>oth junties. He believed, as they believed, that the pendKgNne#sure which was all right as amahstraet principle and which was for tlie ultimate good of la I tot* and benefit of the country, cottld not f#* enacted without involving the national honesty and violating treaty obligations with the Chinese government. When, however, he found that the treaty was Systematically evaded on the Chinese side he favored restriction. He was forced into his former position by a sense of honor; When that obligation was no longer binding lie at once favored the policy in which he believed. The restriction bill which lias iust passed, and which gives vitality to the new treaty, lias hail no more zealous supporter than Gen. Harrison. The fact that his most ardent defenders against this demagogical attack by the Democratic members were the members from the Pacific slope shows tliat his record is satisfactory* and that those who have suffered the most from Chinese immigration; anil who are the best Qualified to judge, ate tile most contented with his jwsitiun. If they are satisfied no one else has the right to complain. Tlie attack of the Democratic members is not duly mean, contemptible, and absurd, but it as an absolute falsi .- cation of his js wit ion. He is iuit m favor of Chinese immigration and never has been, but like many other good men, tioth Republicans and Democrats, he was opposed many rears ago to any Legislation which would impugn the national credit and honor,— Chicago Tribune.

SOLDIERS’ PENSIONS.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S METHOD. OF VETOINGKTHEM. A Large Force la the Peneion Office Engaged In the Despicable Business of. Finding Flaws In the Character of the Applicants Which Will Be Published— Widows of Soldiers Not Exempt. In the mattar of soldiers,* pensions Mr. Cleveland is without shame. Not content with his sneers and Ids needless exposures of harmful habits or flaws in the morals of disabled men who served the e country well ifi its day of need, he is now engaged in> digging out the evidence to sustain his brutal attacks. The news fiQm Washington that a large force in the pension olfice is engaged in this de» picable business seemed incredible even, under the Cleveland administration. It turns out to be true. Soon the country will be treated to the proof that such a veteran was at times addicted to drink; that another was the victim of debasing habits; that another used opium to dull, the pain of his wounds; that his widow was a drunkard and undeserving; that* this other one was immoral and tliat for each and all of them he could not bring his mind to see the right of giving them, a pension. When all the proofs of these things are collected they will doubtless, be embellished as the veto messages in each case were with attempts at wit, and cruel sneers which no gentleman could bring himself to use, and which no man could conceive whose heart had even so much as throbbed with exultation at the sight of a flag. Only a man so devoid of feeling as to allow the substitute who fought for him to die in a poor-house could deal with veterans as Grover Cleveland lias dealt in his despicable veto messages.

The real ground of complaint against him is not tliat lie has been called on to interpose his. veto. In some cases liis reasons, if stated with decency and with dignity, might have seemed adequate. But the manhood of the republic cries out with hot and indignant protest against his methods, lie either forgets, or does not care, that the class lie is dealing with is in one sense poor and humble. though in a sense,, while lie can not comprehend, far more entitled to national gratitude than lie. As a result of [ service under the flag these are in. poverty, and hi their distress they turn, toward" the rich and powerful government which they and theirs helped to save. Instead of the pittance, which is all they ask, they find themselves jeered at by a president. Worse than this. Some of them find their habits, or the secrets of their lives, advertised to the country and fixed in the records of congress. An officer may have been valiant in battle to-the last degree, He may have been l’iddled-wit-h shot or broken by disease, and from either cause, after years of languishing, died in honor —and, as all the world but (! rover Cleveland counts it, honor of high degree. But if in the record it appears that he sometimes drank to excess, or that at times lie yielded to immoral habits, this low president seems to gloat over his. discoveries, and hastens to blacken the memory of men far braver and more patriotic than lie chose to be, and declares those defects to-the country as a reason why lie can not affix his great name to a hill that will keep the dead soldier’s widow or orphans from starving. Worse than this, he lias not even hesitated to attack the moral cliaracter of soldiers’ widows. Even now lie is having the confidential fib's -of the pension office searched to make g(x>d his charges. [ Every soldier organization m the land should feel itself in honor bound to denounce this business. Doubtless some, vetoes are just. Yet a great government, considering the services rendered and the hitter cost to those disabled by them, might afford to solve all doubts in favor of veterans or those who depended ujxm them for support. But veterans have a right to demand that in tliese cases above all others with wftich an executive has to deal, there shall lie common decency and dignity of hmguage and treatment. What is there In Grover Cleveland’s former life tliat fits him to sit in judgment on the true measure of patriotism? Whiit.is there that justifies him in holding itp to the view of the country a record of a soldiers' moral habits? Above all, what is tltere that excuses him for questioning the chastity of soldiers’ widows? Is* he responding to the call. “He that is without sin among you let him cast tine first stone?" While shine of liis utterances on the subject of unworthy pensions are sound and worthy of attention, liis dealings with private pension bills have been, in the main, in the direction of sending to the tioorIwuse or keeping In it broken-down veterans who. in their .prime, were more patriotic than the president who now sirs in cruel juclgment upon them. There was more excuse for the rebel treatment of Union prisoners than there is for Jjrover.Cleveland's cruelty toward disable veterans or their starving families. --Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Harrison Never Said it.

A young Irish-Aimrican of Waterville writes to inquire if it is true that Ben jamin Harrison, in a public speech, uttered these words about the Irish: “They have no intelligence. They are only good to shovel dirt and grade railways. for which they receive wore, than they are worth, as they are no acquisition to the American people.” Ab we don’t lxjlieve in campaign lies, we answer that there is no truth in this accusation. Gen. Harrison never expressed himself in that way.—New York Sun.

Senator Gorman Explains.

None of the senatorial apologists for the blunders of the pitiable Cleveland administration undertook to deny or disJnte Senator Allison’s statement that '.(5,000,000 inqre had thus far been expended since Cleveland was lifted into the presidential chair than during Arthur's administration. They all admitted tlie fact and tried hard to explain j it. Senator Gorman's explanation was I the clearest of all, that the expenditures were larger because they had been in- | creased.—Bradford Star-Mail. ! Mr, Thurman, who, as a member of the committee on resolutions in the Ohio Democratic convention of 1865, reported the resolution declaring this to be “a white man's government,” in his Port Huron speech the other night described the negro as “a very prolific unimal.” And yet the Democratic party professes itself to be anxious to secure the votes of the very men whom its candidate for the vice presidency thus insults.—Brooklyn Journal. There is not a trust of any proportion in the United States in which the promoters arc hot Democrats,

REM IF O TON ITFMS. Mrs. Robert Parker who is visiting relatives and friends in Den-,, ver Col., has been seriously sick in that ciiy. At last reports she was getting better. About thirty of our country's brave defenders left for the National Reunion at Columbus on Monday morning last, where they expect to have, and doubtless will have, a glorious good time. ~ After/weeks and month of suffering, -patiently endured, - Mrs. LaFayette French passed peacefully to her last rest ou Monday morning last, at one o’clock. She leaves an invalid daughter; a devoted husband.,and a large circle o£ relatives and friends to mourn the loss of one who filled nobly' her allotted place. The funeral took place from the family residence Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock, and the solemn services were largely attended. Mis. Wm. Shepherd and her son Bertie left on Monday morning for ten weeks sojourn in Chicago. The object of the visit is to give Master Bertie, a lad of twelve years, the benefit of a term of music lessons on the violin under some of the best masters to be found in this country. As the lad is already proficient he will doubtless come back a finished musictan. —— Gaylord Cliilcote and Robert Vannatta spent Sunday evening with friends in Remington.
