The Chicago Tribune speaking of the
pension voted to the widow and parents
OF Gen. Custer, makes the following SEN
sible remarks: 1T is very well of Con-
gress to vote Gen. Clusters widow pen
sion of $50 a month, and to vote the
same amount to his parents, who are said
to be in poor circumstances. There was
not a single objection made in the House
we are glad to hear, and we do not believe
there will be one in the whole country.
At the same time, we do not see how Con-
gress can reasonably stop here. There
are other suffering and equally deserving
widows and families of the gallant 800
who rode to their death. Clusters CON-
rades were as brave as he, and in whose
cases where their death has left women
and children, not merely to mourn, but to
suffer, congress should likewise make a
corresponding provision. The sun of
$50 month is the highest pension ever
voted, but the others should receive a pro-
portionate pension according to their rank
and the condition of those who were de-
pendent upon them, and are thus depriv-
ed of their support"

In his address to the graduating class
of Ohio University, Governor Hayes ut.
tered the following golden words: "Of
all periods, perhaps this is Justly said to
be an age of shame, of show and extrava-
gance; an age of paint, varnish and gild-
ing, where the homely virtues of economy,
industry and plain, common honesty are
forgotten, and the vices of show and ex-
travagance prevail, alas too often. But
you wish to become just and pure, and
wise; you wish to be, and seem to be-
command you to this homely proven
somewhat added to and somewhat mang.
led, but / command it to you. Get and
carry it into life, not merely into common
business, but make it part of all you do
in the whole circle of duty and effort, and
it is this: Honesty is not only the best
policy, but it is the one sufficient and
very great reward, and I repeat you will
find it to the end of life, not only the
best policy, but its own sufficient and very
great reward"

JUDGE SAMPSON.

Next Wednesday the Congressional
Convention will meet at this place, and
will no doubt by acclamation, re-nomina,
te Hon. Z. S. SAMPSON, our present able
and intelligent representative in Congress
As a soldier Judge Sampson was gallant
and brave, and won many honors, being
promoted step by step for ncorth, not by
reason of friends at court. As a iurist
he has no superiors and few equals
as a Congressman he has shown himself
prompt and efficient to every wish of his
constituents. As man he has always
been above reproach, and his character
for honesty, integrity an uprightness has
never been questioned. Such man we
cannot afford to think of setting aside for
any one. And knowing the wish of a
majority of the people to be for Sampson
we hope he will be nominated by acclama.

Tilden's Money Campaign-The Platform
Chicago Tribune,

The battle ground of the campaign
will be New York, New Jersey, Connect
cut, Ohio, Indiana, and the Pacific States.
The Democrats can afford to lose Ohio if
they carry all the others, but losing
any of them with Ohio, their chance is
lost.
The Republican party have now the
knowledge of whom they have to deal
with. They have to deal with desper-
ate, unscrupulous foe, armed with i'm
mense wealth, controlling a legion of fagents
skilled in all the machinery of fraudulent
elections, and despite all differences of
opinion about men and measures, united
to man for the purpose of defeating the
Republican party and gaining possession
of the government. The fact that large
majority of the people are unquestiona.
bly, in favor of Hayes and Wheeler will
not deter the Democratic party from max
ing as vigorous fight as if it were assur-
ed of success. The prize is too tempting,
and has been waited for two long, to be
given up without battle, the more bit
terly to be contested because of its very
desperation.
As a wild and reckless TRADE of denun-
citation, the platform is a success. AS an
expression of political principles and pol
icies of party asking to be entrusted
with the government of the nation, it is
an undignifed and illtempered failure.

IGNORANCE INEXCUSABLE.

The following from the mouth of one
Stevenson, Confederate member OF Con-
gress, is so absurd as is almost laughable,
except when we reflect to what disgrace
we are lowered by the presence of such
men in the Congress of the nation: He
said:
after every war the army has been re-
duced, and the people of the country de-
manded reduction. The war has been
ouer ten gears, and some bill should be
passed to reduce it, (the army; If not an
appropriation bill some other bill should
be reported"
Thispoor ignoramus of rebel does moi
know that the armies of the nation had
been reduced, that instead of millions ii
the field, we have few paltry thousands
SO very few, that the entire available
force is absorbed in keeping at bay few
thousand half naF ed redskins. Did th'
| the poor devil not know that Republi
| can Congress reduced the army long ag'
to the very lowest notch it could be ant
hold its organization? Evidently he die
not, yet the humblest school boy in tn
! land knew it years ago. Poor Stevenson.
