THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL. Tbe gist of the "Dependent Soldiers' "Pension Bill," whioh President, Cleveland vetoed, is (Contained in tbe second section of the act, which reads as follows:

That all persons who seved three months «r mora ia the military or naval service of IJnited Siates in any war in which the United statea has been engaged, and who Stare been honorably discharged therefrom, auud who are now or who may hereafter be suffering from mental or physical debility, not the result of their own vicious habits or jepKMS carelessness, which incapacitates them from tbe performance of labor in such a degree as to render th§m unable to earn & support, and who are dependent tspoa their daily labor for suppott, shall, upon making due proof of the fact according to snch rules and regulations as the secretary of the interior may prdvide -'ia pursuance of this aot, be placed on the list of invalid pensioners of the United

States, and be entitled to receive, for such total disability to procure their subsistence by daily labor, $12 per month.'" .% Under: the provisions of this bill every person who bore arms for three months, whether in the field or camp, and who few contracted from any cause a disability that makes it impossible to support faimself, and to the parents of such soldiers as have died, a permanent pension of $12 per month. All previous pension tails have required that the disability should have had its origin in army service. Here it is different. A man might have served in the army three months or thre years and come out, as thousands dip ... as sound as a dollar. But if at any •time during the £wenty-two years that force elapsed since the war closed any one of these had been injured in a railroad collision, been blown up in an explosion, been hurt by monkeying with a buzz-saw while in motion, a threshing machine or a mower, been kicked by a mule, knocked out by the rheumatism or been roughly handled by any of the thousand minions of disease ana death which are eternally waging a bushwhacking and guerrilla warfare on mankind—each and all these victims of after-the-war misfortune, provided only they bad served in the army three months, would be entitled to $12 a month. The proposition is a sweeping one to say the least of it.

And now as to the cost. It is impossible to estimate it,except by comparison with analogous cases. A bill pensioning all the disabled revolutionary soldiers was passed in 1818. Our guileless forefathers, at the time of the passage of the act, calculated that not more than 874 veterans would apply for pensions under it How wide they were of the mark can be seen in view of the fact that within the next two years there were 28,555 applicants and that pensions were granted to 16,270. The annual 4SMfc had been estimated at $40,800 the actual amount we $2,7(36,440. And the widow of one ef those veterans is still drawing a pension and will probably continue to do so for many years for she married the veteran a half century or so after the close of the war.

This bill also covers all wars, tbe rebellion, the Mexican, Seminole, Black Hawk and any of our many Indian wars* A million men could apply for pensions nnder its provisions and if nearly all of them did not get it there would be speech making and resolnting about red tape at Washington and unjust &scciminations eto, etc, until some coward congress would let down tbe bars entirely by striking out the word "disa­

bility" and reducing the service from three months to thirty days. The bill which the President vetoed would bave cost anywhere from $70,000,000 to $140, 000,000 per annum and probably nearer the latter than the former.

As it is we are paying a great deal for pensions. Last year there were 365,783 names on the rolls and the disbursements amounted to $64,584,270. Every day new. names are being added and the appropriation for this year is $76, 000,000. That is a great deal of money to be paying in pensions for a war that ended twenty-two years ago this spring. It is more than twice as much as is paid for pensions by England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Turkey—in a word than all Europe.

We are constantly boasting of our advantage over the countries of Europe by reason of our exemption from the heavy burdens imposed on them by the necessity of keeping up immense standing armies in time of peace. Is that advantage so very'great after all, when the cost of our grand standing army of pensioners is taken into account? Great Britain's enormous military establishment, spread all over the world, only costs $102,477,010. Austria—Hungary's army costs $51,307,602 Germany's $91,522,495 France's $126,366,086. The highest of these is less than our little standing army of 20,000 and our big army of pensioners oost us, and scarcely half as much as our annual expenditure under this head would have been but for the timely veto of the President.

FIVE commissioners are to be appointed by the President under the In-ter-State Commerce Bill. Three are to be Democrats and two Republicans. A great deal has been said in a loose way about a multitude of hungry Democratic applicants, but the only man whose name has been mentioned in connection with any effort to secure a place is Omer D. Conger, the retiring Republican Senator from Michigan. He has been [in public life as Congressman and Senator for the past twentyfive years and is appalled at the prospect of no longer drawing an official salary. So he has had his brother Senators indorse him for the place and is moving Heaven and Earth to get the job.

E. P. BEAUOHAMP in his paper, the Holstein-Friesian Register, has an article on publio roads in which he advocates the building of gravel roads by the county commissioners. The GAZETTE does not think this would be an improvement on the present system by which the county bears half the expense and the adjacent property holders the other half.

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, does not see any gain in making death painless for murderers who don't stop to consider the amount of pain they infl io on their victims. A good, stout hemp rope, in his opinion, is good enough for murderers.

SCENTING an article in an agri cultural paper on "How to make hogs pay," an exchange says it is a hard ques tion, but suggests that the best way to avoid the diffiaulty io the future is not to sell a hog anything unless he pays for it in advance.

EVERY daily paper in Nlw York city with the single exception of the Tribune commends President Cleveland for his veto of the Dependent Pension Bill

SPEAKER CARLISLE is ^spoken of a the possible successor of Daniel Manning at the head of the Treasury department. It is not to be thought of, as Speaker Carlisle cannot be spared from the House of Representatives.

GENERAL MASTER WORKMAN POWDERLY says the Chicago assemblies give him more trouble than all the rest of the order. We should think Assembly No. 49, of New York city, was a good second in the race for troublesomeness.

Letter From the Fx-SherifF of ChautauquaCounty, New York MA^VILLE, N. Y., Dec. 2.1885. I am glad to say,from along personal experience with Allcock's Porous Plasters, that I am able to endorse all the good things that have ever been said about them, and supplement these by saying th&t I frankly believe their value cannot be estimated. Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited, and for prompt and sure relief to almost every ache and pain that flesh is heir to, no other remedy, in my opinion, either external or internal, equals them in certainty and rapidity I have used them at one time for rheumatism, another for backache, again for bronchitis, always with the same result—a speedy cure.

THE denial in the GAZETTE that Judge Mack in his recent charge to the grand jury took occasion to excoriate the Jeffersonvilie prison was correct stnctly speaking, for the court didn't say it in his charge to the grand jury, but he did make such a statement afterward, and from later developments it seems to have been richly deserved.

SUGTAR CREEK, Feb. 23.—[GASSTETTE special.]—Mike Turlen is about to fence in his woods pasture for he says that be is getting tired of pasturing other people's stock. Jim Curley says that he won't vote for Black in 1888, for he says the roads are worse than they were when Dave All was trustee. He got stuck on the Mher Hill a few days ago.

Experience vs Inexperience. It is a matter of regret that in introducing Hood's Sarshparilla, its proprietors are obliged to overcome a certain distrust by some people who have unfortunately bought worthless compounds mixed by persons ignorant of pharmacy. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. are reliable pharmacists of long exoerience, and they make no claims for Hood's Sarsaparilla which cannot be substan tiated by the strongest proof. And say to those who lack confidence, read the unsolicited testimonials iu favor of Hood's Sorsaparilla, and then prove its merits by actual personal test. We are confident you will not be disappointed, but will find it a medicine of peculiar curative value, which can be implicit* relied upon.

Indianapolis, February 15,1887.

Safe, Sure, and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so fullyland und unquestionabl these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principals of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves, and skin.

In conclusion Mr. Parsons introduced Mr. Scott, chairman of the House committee, who made a short and pointed address. Mr. Major, of Sullivan county, followed with a few pointed remarks. Senator DeMotte, of Porter county was next called upon. Mr. DeMotte's remarks were very witty and his picture of the oldfashioned school house was much enjoyed by all. Mr. Commons, of Wayne oounty, spoke next, followed by Mr. Joseph, of Tippecanoe. Mr. French, of Posey county, also made a few remarks on the progress of education in this state. Mr. French is a former graduate of the school.

Mr. Stubblefield, of Pike oounty, was then called by acclamation and made some very witty remarks. Mr. Patten, ot SnUivHH county wa6 next called on.

Mr. Patten speech was the crowning event of the morning's program. His ready wit combined with a good voice made him tbe favorite speaker of all.

Mr. Kellison, the handsomest gentleman in the party, made a telling speech. Joint Representative John T. Beasly was called for and made a very pretty speech. He was followed by Representative F. J. S. Robinson. The school then adjourned to meet again this after-" noon.

The following is a list of the committees present: Senate, Duncan, French and De Motte House, Scott, Osborne, Green, Commons, Rellison and Major.

Nelson who made somo very graceful remarks. Afterward Mr. Barnabas Hobbs spoke and then State Superintendent John H. Holcombe, both quite happily.

Judge Mack then insisted that Col. Robertson make a speech on Washington's birthday and'he did so in a« beautifully appropriate manner.

The banquet then closed and the guests repaired to the office and parlors to wait for the special train which will take them back to Indianapolis.

The O'Sullivans of St. Mary's are grieving over the bank failure. 1 would like to know what is the matter with Long and Shorty Froze dp. I presume our business is too urging and they cannot get in and the readers of the GAZETTE and our vicinity are very badly disappointed.

There will be a couple of dances in our township this week.— Johnny O'Sullivan bought his new sleigh in time to put it in the shed. M-s. Cuncamon is on the sick list with rheumatism.

Spaan, attorney for the trustees, to appear for the reason that he is under bonds for criminally changing the Marion county election returns. The House is without a quorum.

FORMING A THIRD PARTY.

OnelSoeaker at Cincinnati Says Congressmen are 'he Scum of the Earth. CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.—At the industrial conference at Music Hall today Mr. Crocker, of Kansas, made an impassioned speech on the Oklahoma movement and criticised the President for his action in the matter. He strongly denounced the railroads and defended the settlers. The phnir announced that he had several communications from persons who were too poor to attend. B. S. Taylor, of Pennsylvania, got the floor and delivered an in vective against the farmers of the country for creating such a vile Congress as sup ports the Oklahoma crime. '"Why send only the off scourings of society to Congress?'' he asked. "I know that because I have been there myself," he added amid laughter. Moses Smith, of Indiana, censured the Oklahoma resolution. The convention was not to fritter away its time on small issues. The resolution went to the committee. Jesse Harper, of Illinois, then made a characteristic speech. riSXS&M IS

COMRADE POWER ON DECK. At yesterday's session Capt. C. A. Power, of Terre Haute, Ind., who said he was not a delegate, but a guest, asked leave to present a memorial on behalf of Union soldiers. Leave was granted and Mr. Power took the stand, when Mr. Shaw, of Missouri, rising to a question of privilege for the protecr tion of the convention, called attention to the fact that the Union soldiers were invited to send delegates here, and they should have been represented.

Several others objected, but the Chair ruled them out of order. Mr. Power then went on to say that he was appointed to come and ask for a plank in the platform to strike out the present pension laws and make an equitable adjustment of the soldiers claims by which the soldiers should be paid the difference between the paper they received as pay and the value of gold the plank also to have inserted in it that every soldier's discharge should be his pension certificate.

Tbe memorial was sent to the committee on resolutions. Quite a number of resolutions were offered and sent to the committee without reading.

Gov. Hill's Thanks.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Governor Hill spoke on '-'National Democracy" at the banquet of the Young Men's Democratic club last night. He said in part: "Governor Foraker, of Ohio, spoke at a late Republican dinner here. He is the gentleman who came into this state in 1885, aided in my-election, by injecting into the canvass the ''bloody shirt issue. I feel under great obligations to him for his valuable services unremittingly rendered in my behalf. I take this, my first appropriate opportunity, to tender him my heartfelt thanks. I trust he may live long, and visit us again in future campaigns."
