EXTRA ALLOWANCES ExPLAINED.-Thew hig
presses complain that ''ertra allopances" equal
to four salaries, and say forty rations day,
have been paid to 'the hero of Hull's surender"
for the many years he was in the public employ!
These complaints may have been made under
the influence of political excitement, and with
out due consideration. In the case of an or
binary employee it would be wrong to allow
more than one salary or rations suited to the
rank of the officer; but the hero is no ordinary
man. If, as has been said, and as has been
represented in some portraits, said TO be admi-
rable illnesses, he has tuo or more faceS-trO

THE New PENSION LAw.-The Cincinnati
Atlas gives the following abstract of the pen
sion law recently passed by Congress. This
law seems liberal in its provisions:
The pension laws interest great many per
sons and we shall do service TO some by the
following exposition Of the recent pension law
This act is far the most liberal law passed,
and interests, directly indirectly, at least 81
600 persons. The general principle of this
act is, that half pay shall be granted to the
uido,sS aud orphans of all the officers and SOL
diers of all descriptions, who died in any way,
in the line of their duty. and who were IN the
army as volunteers, since the lst of March
1916. This covers the families of all who died
i'm the service since that date.
Since the LIST Of March, 1916, there have
been i'm the military service Of the United
States not less than 100000 men. Of these
some were called out without being marched
10 Mexico and of them few died.
OF those, however, engaged in the war about
&c, 900 died. The widows and orphans of these,
if there were any, are entitled to the pensions;
The pension act, as extended, applies indeed
only to the regular army, but the following
section of the act is the one which covers the
entire ground for volunteers.
Sec. 2. And be ii further enacted, That all
widows and orphans of officers, non-commis-
stoned officers, musicians, and privates, wheth-
er of the regular army or OF volunteers, who
have died since the first day of April, one thou
sand eight hundred and forty six, or who may
die during the war with Mexico, from wounds
received or from disease contracted while in
the line of duty, shall be entitled to the same
rate of pension as is provided for in the first
section of the aforementioned act, under the
limitations and restrictions.
There are two provisos to this law. The
first is that the death must have occurred in
the line of duty, or while returning to the Uni
ted States, after receiving surgeons certifi.
cate, or while on the march to the army in Mex
fco. The second is that this act attaches only
to those who were in Mexico or on their march
thther.
This clause, however, includes but a very
small number. The pension in fact attaches to
alt whose father or husband died in service in
Mexico, or on its borders, or Oh the march to
or from there.
The half pay is half what the officer or sol
dier was entitled to when alive, according TO his
grade.
This act was passed July Is, and, as is seen
by its terms, is one extremely favorable to the
families of those who have been lost in Mexi-
co. We cannot tell how large proportion of
soldiers have left families. but there will doubt
less be thousands of claimants under the act.

RESPECT TO AGE.-There is a story of m
occurrence al Athens, during the celebra.
lion of games in honor of god, illustrative
Of the respect paid by the Lacedemonians
to old age. The seals in the theatre were
crowded, and an old man entering late, found
no seat. Some young men beckoning him
towards them, and offered him seat; but as
be advanced, they sat closer together, max
ing the vacant seat farther along, and con.
inued To do so as he approached il SO as to
excite the laughter Of The audience. There
were departments Of The theatre devoted To
foreigners, and as the old man approached
the seats Of the Lacedemonians, they all
arose. The Aihenians, with characteristic
impetuosliy, cheered their courteous neigh.
bo's with Tremendous applause, and the old
man turning around remarked: "The Athe-
mans knop the right, the Lacedenonians do
H."
The present age might learn lesson from
The Lacedemonians. The polteness eve-
cuse for the inaiien,on to oldage. In steam
boats, railroad cars, hotels, and elsewhere,
an old man receives but passing CLAN, e.
and i, is no, an unfrequem occurrence To
see man scarcely able to walk, supporting
himself in car by the back Of seat, or by
a post on a steamer, for lack Of the seat
which young strong man occupies near
him. We saw lady give up her seat To
an old gentleman once in such case, and
halt dozen chairs were instantly offered her
by gentlemen who had remained moiionless
before. Americans know what is polite. il
they do no, practise it.-N. Y. Journal of

DEMocRAcY.-There have been many defini-
tons OF Democracy, as well as many modes of
its application. France" says Louis Napo-
leon, sis Democratic, but not Republican.
understand by Democracy the government of
one by the will of all; and by republic the
government Of several obeying system
Our own political history has illustrated
both definitions. Gen. Jackson regarded him
self as the representative Of the sovereignty of
the people, a majority of whom placed him in
the Presidency. After his re-election.he open
ly took the ground that all the political opin-
ions which he had advanced, received, from the
fact of his reelection, the seal of popular ap-
prova. His cabinet officers were responsible
TO him; he required that his ca binet should be
a unit. lnasmuch as sovereignty could not ex-
ist in two distinct embodiments, he regarded
Congress as factious and rebellious whenever it
differed from him or disapproved of his acts
The theory OF the government of one by the
MISUNDERSTANDING the will of the one had
a pretty strong reactive power upon the con-
stituent body.
The second definition may find its illustra-
ton in MIR. Folks term. "The government OF
several obeying system" defines precisely the
Baltimore Convention of 1914, which laid
down the chart by which the administration OF
Mr.. Polk was to be guided. Louis Napoleon
intended to designate republic BY his defini-
tons; and when the System" which is obeyed
is the constitution, and the several who gov
ern according to il are the various functions re.
presenting severally the Executive, the Legis
lative and the Judicial departments, then in
deed true republican government is described.

OTThings have changed greatly since the

with many others advocated the policy Of a
strong government, endowed with the veto

which styles itself the Democratic party sus-
tanning this same veto power, advocating a
