SPEAKING OF PENSIONS. The suggestion of a service pension for veterans of the War of the Rebellion has aroused the tender sensibilities of the mugwump press, which is constantly characterizing the military pension system as extravagant and semi-fraudulent, but nevertheless regards with equanimity -plans for a civil pension list which self-styled civil service "reformers1' are constantly advancing, and lately with unusual persistence. If the country is called upon to choose between giving pensions as a recognition of service implying sacrifice for the sake of the nation extending to the tendering of life itself, and as a method of prying overpaid and underworked government enrployes loose from clerical sinecures, it will in all probability choose the alternative first mentioned, and take chances on further mussing up of the feelings of the mugwump editor. It is estimated that the adoption of a service pension would increase the government's annual outlay on pension account to $200,000,000. This seems like a good deal of money, but it may be recalled in this connection that the country lost vastly more than that in its trade balance every year the country had in power a tariff reform administration put there through the efforts of these same mugwump journals. Moreover, that money went out of the country, and it never came back. The money that is paid out by the -government in pensions is not, as some, critics seem to, assume, shipped out of the country like the hundreds of millions that went to pay the cost of our little experiment with a tariif-for-revenue law. It is simply taken out of the pockets of people who can afford to pay it and who never were called upon to shoulder a gun in order to keep their government in existence, and put in the pockets of men who need it, men but for whom this country would be a mighty weak sister in the family of nations even if it were in existence at all. These men, all of them, are old. Their necessities will not constitute a perpetual charge upon a nation's gratitude very few of those who will claim a pension under any law will find it possible to add it to a plethoric bank account. All of them, practical ly, will return this money to circulation with little delay, and it will get out where people who never slept in the snow, or tramped in the mud, or ate wormy hard-tack, or starved in prison, or marched out in the storm of battle, all for their country's sake, will be able to yrab it again. Some of the papers fond of figuring out what their drafted patriotism costs the country say that we are paying as much to pensioners, or will be when we have a service pension system, as it costs a country in the old world to maintain a standing army. That may be so on the face of the returns, though the burden of old-world militarism is not so much a matter of expenditure on soldiers who cost their country a few cents a day apiece, as in the fact that it withdraws millions of men from the avenues of peaceful employment and makes them consumers rather than producers but it may be well to take into consideration the fact that the sentiment back of our pension system is what makes it unnecessary for us to maintain anything more tlu..i a skeletonized standing army. This country has been generous beyond precedent to its volunteer soldiers, that is true enough, but it is a mighty cheap citizen of this republic who is not proud because his country has not followed the example of the British government, for instance, which permitted men Avho charged Avith the Light Brigade to the glory of England to die in the alms-house to England's shame. It is a pretty poor sort of an American Avho can visit a state or national soldiers' home and look upon it Avithout a thrill of joy because his country is the only nation in the Avorld that maintains such institutions Avhere those who sa"ed their country from destruction may be by it preserved from want in their declining years. The Republican party lias placed upon the statute books every line of general pension legislation that is there today, and it has no apology to. offer for a syllable of it, despite the sneers and the insinuations of the uninformed and unpatriotic among the people of the north who refer to the pension system as a sandbagging operation, and the opposition of that portion of the United States which made a civil Avar and a pension system necessary by their own voluntary act. It has no favors to ask or expect from either class, and Avill amplify the pension list Avhencver circumstances seem to Avarrant a forward step.
The Tinlianapolis Sentinel says Republican policies narrow the chances of labor to find employment. There Avere three million of workingmen Avho were unable to find employment under the second Cleveland administration, says Samuel Oompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Since then, under a Republican administration every one of these three millions that Avanted employment has found it. This shows the difference between Democratic campaign literature and the history of things as they actually happen.
A young .Tap avIio lias for four years been sitting at the feet of Mr. Bryan in Lincoln, Neb., announces that he is going to return to his natiye land to advocate the free. silver doctrine.

Perfect Confidence. Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and Avorry in the household -when a child showed symptoms of croup, there is noAV perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Basford, of roolesvil'le, Md., in speaking of her experience in the use of that remedy says: "I have a Avorld of confidence in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for I haA'e used it with perfect success. My child Garland is subject to severe attacks of croup and it always irives him prompt relief." For sale by 'A. G. Luken & Co. and W. II. Sudhoff, corner fifth and Main streets.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. . When this tube is inflamed you haA'e a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous services. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bv catarrh) that cannot be cured Iry Hall's Cat arrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.,' Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best.
