Important Pension Decision.

The Secretary Of the Interior has just made q
decision which settles the question as to whether
a distinction exists between drafted men and
volunteers As to the right OF pension. 1t has
been urged by claimants and attorneys that the
previous unsoundness Of drafted soldier should
constitute no bar to pension. The Commis-
sioner Of Pensions, in his decision, which 10
afnrmed by the Secretary, says: "It Is not within
the province Of this once to make amends, In
my opinion, for any wrong done BY the muster
ing officer or examining surgeon, In accepting .
man who was physically disqualified The law
makes no distinction in regard to persons, be-
tween volunteers and drafted men and, In my
judgment, this once has no authority to make
such distinction"
The Secretary has also decided that the three
years. limitation prescribed in the pension laws
applies In the case OF minors, whose application
had not been hled within three years from the
date of death or re-msrringe Of the mother, and
that the limitation begins at the time the right
Of pension occurs.

RICHMOND, Dec. 1o.-The judiciary committee

where two hundred can attend; Of clothing the

bilities when he pardons criminal; OF requiring

ish distinct tons on account Of color In public

SHALL WE HAVE CUBAf

In answer to this question, some say no, while
others say yes. We say have II, cost what It
may; and especially we say, don't let US higgle
about one hundred and nfty millions. II Ia, to
be sure, good deal Of money but Cubs is q fine
and profitable piece Of real estate. II now, under
the system Of management which Spain exerts
over Il, returns to the Golfers at Madrid some
twenty or thirty millions annually. And II It
were once annexed to the United States, II
would easily contribute so, ,ooo,o 900 revenue to
our treasury every year. While this palpable
fact stands out in bold relief before us, h It not
surprising that many people oppose this pur-
chase, because, as they sllege, II will deplete at
the start our treasury Of some tlso, oooi They
say wait, and In the course Of four or ave years
We viii get It for nothing, It will fall into our
hands. How will II fall into our handst II
must be by conquest, or Spain must get tired Of
her ownership In this island, and make US a
present Of II. Is either OF these events likely to
occurI Suppose conquest What would war
acquisition Of territory by war and conquest is
the most expensive method Of obtaining It. To
say nothing Of the loss Of lfe the waste OF treas
ure ID always sdisproportionate to the value the
acquisition. Every acre Of land acquired by
war costs ten times much as II does 10 pur-
chase 10 BY fair and honorable treaty. And be.
sides, we are not likely to get Cuba by conquest
There 10 no likelihood at all that any dimculty
can arise that would involve US In war with
Spain. On the other hand, is there any proba.
biiity that Spain would be glad some Ave or six
years hence to make US . present Of this i'm.
portant possessiont All such talk seems TO VI
as peuriis and frivolously irrelevant. We say
to-day, II Cuba can be had for one hundred ant
hfty millions, close the bargain.
We want Cuba more than we want st. Thomas
or Alaska, and 10 10 profitable 10 US at any price
This island 10 seven hundred miles long, and
from nfty to ninety miles wide. II stretches
along almost the entire distance fronting
the Gulf Of Mexico, and is In Its geographical
position naturally, so to speak, part Of the
United States. Its fertility is unsurpassed and
unquestioned, and 1t would, therefore, in the
hands Of skiliful Yankees, soon be made In every
part to bud and blossom as the rose.
We could write book, chuck full Of argu-
ments and reasons for the acquisition Of Cuba
but we will not to-day multiply words. We say
let US have 1t, and II we pay no more than tl5o,-
oOo, 900 for II, Ii Is dirt cheap.
