" Pension All or None. ,,

During his recent visit to Portland
Ore, as Chairman of the Grover Inves-
tigatlng Committee, Senator Morton
made a speech, in which he said that "lf
the Democratic party get into power, do
you think they will ever vote a dollar to
pay the pensions of their soldiers en-
gagged in the rebellion2 When they get
into power, it viii be pension all or pen
sion none.
The Southern press has taken consid-
cradle notice of this speech, but has very
rarely II ever protested against the pre-
dictlon as an unjust charge. On the
contrary, it seems to be accepted, almost
as matter of course. One paper, the
Meridian (Miss.) Mercury, comes out
squarely in favor of the policy of pen
slOnlng all or none. It SAYS:
Well, what objections can fair man make to
this? Din't the Southern taxpayer contribute
his portion Of the money to pay pensions to
Northern soldiers and their widows and or
phans, while the Confederate soldiers and their
widows and orphans are neglected? Southern
members of Congress believe as firmly in the
justice OF the Confederate cause as the North
ernmembers believe in the Justice of the Union.
and they sink their manhood and eat dirt when
they vote appropriations to pension Federal
soldiers and their widows and orphans to the
exclusion of the Confederate Amagnanimous
Government should pension all. They are all
the victims of q civil war, and pacifed Gov
eminent cannot consistently or safely discrimi-
nate between them in this matter where the
party Disseminated against bears an equal pro-
portion of the burden. "When they"-the
Democrats get into power, " if they VIII do
this wise and just thing, which Morton pre-
diets to-Wlt: "pension all or pension none,"
1t will do more to conquer the rebellious feeling
of Southern people, which he took pains to
portray to the Oregonians, than is in the power
of the Federal guns he has so much faith in.
kind and just Government can only remem-
Der its crippled soldiers, whether they wore the
blue or the gray, and their widows and orphans
alike; it is only malignant Government that
repels fealty that can discriminate. It is the
part Of craftsmanship to soothe, not rTitate, the
sores of the late war.
This idea that the Confederates were
soldiers of the Government is novel. to
say the least. Who ever heard propo-
sltiOn more audacious? For four terri
BILE years, the men who wore the gray
fought to destroy the most "kind and
just Government the sun ever shone
upon, and twelve years thereafter it is
coolly claimed that those men ought to
be placed upon the pension roll. Such
placing premium on treason would be
a monstrOus outrage. No Government
doing it ought to expect aid hereafter in
crushing rebellion. But it will be time
enough to fight that battle when the
issue is fairly raised. So long as the de-
mand is confined to the press, and is held
in allegiance even by the newspapers, it
need attract but little attention. It is
important, however, as showing the ne
cessity Of maintaining the Republican
party intact, in order to repel any and
all such attacks upon the treasury

near the top OF the hill, heard him, and
came hurrying to see what was the
matter. Robert was a brave little fell

said his mother, it is tarantula. They
often bite the sheep and cattle. Let us
see if we can't find some more of the

gravel and found three others. Robert
wanted to find Mr.. Tarantula, but his
mother told him it was no use to hunt
for him, for Madam did not allow him
to live In the same nest with the rest
of her family, because he had an I'M
pleasant way of eating the young ones
when he was hungry. Then Robert
dug out the nest, which was large one.
He kept the tarantulas several weeks in

the little ones grew larger they re-

City: "While Henry Myers freighting

miles south of here, they were visited by
three men who cooked their dinner at the
campfire and made themselves so
agreeable that all of the freighters except
the son of Myers gathered about them.
Young Myers was suspicious, and went
to one of the wagons where he got his
shotgun and remained away from the
party. During the conversation around
the campfire one of the strangers ad-
mired a shotgun belonging to the
freighters and took it to examine it.
Suddenly he cooked and leveled it..

arms, and ordered them to throw up
their hands, saying they would take
what money there was in the outfit. At
this young Myers stepped from behind
the wagon and fired, the shot striking
the robber in the face and breast. The
robber wheeled and fired at him, but
missed. The robber then dropped the
gun and ran, firing at the party with his
revolver. One OF the freighters shot at
him with rifle, the ball striking him in
the arm. He fell, and soon after died.

the aids of modern science, will ever re-

which nature once lavished on lands
that now only entail misery on their cul-

Southern Italy, Greece, Turkey, Asia

from Morocco to the valley of the Nile,
the aridity of the soil makes the strug-

majority of the inhabitants, life, from

curse.

Keens His Eyes Onen.


I wish some of your little folks could
take walks with boy of my acquaint-
ance, named Frank. They would find
more going on around them than they
had ever dreamed of.
A while ago we were out walking, and
heard some blue Jays making an unusual
noise. thought it was only bird talk;
but Frank said something was wrong
with them, and we soon found four blue
Jays fighting an enormous owl.
Frank is bit of naturalist, and nat
uralists notice what other people would
never see or hear. One evening when it
was quite dark, Frank and I were re-
turning from walk, when he stopped
and listened intently. I did the same,

beetles. Frank had heard them fifty or

other time. We were lying at full
length in the long grass, and three fine
night-hawks were sailing over us. Every
little while they would swoop down
quite near to us, like arrows, their fall
making noise at one time like the wind
moaning, and then quick and clear like
the hiss of a bullet and then would
rise up again with a loud, sharp cry.
They were after insects. We found one

Military Railway Building.

An interesting experiment was carried
out last month by detachment of the
German railway regiment in order
to determine the rapidity with which a
line of rails could be laid down over
ground presenting considerable difficult
ties, and also to ascertain the rate at
which the work could be continued during
the night by the aid of electric and other
artificial lights. The portion of railroad
constructed led from the station of
Klausdorf to the summit of some ada
cent heights, rising fifty or sixty feet
above the starting point. Its length
was about 1000 PAGES, and the gradients
were, therefore, necessarily steep, in
some places being as high as one in
twenty. The work was begun at 7
o'clock in the morning, and by midday
the rails were laid on the lower and
more level half of the road. In the even
ing the workmen were relieved by other
companies of the regiment arriving from
Berlin, and, although there was no moon,
the work was steadily continued.
Torches were employed where excava-
lions or entertainments had to be made;
but where more accurate work had to be
executed or more difficult operations had
to be performed-as, for instance, where
rails had to be laid or adjusted-the
scene was illuminated by electric lights
arranged upon an elevated platform.
Shortly after midnight all the heavy
work was finished. In two or three
hours more the rails were finally adjust
ed, and in the morning the regiment re-
turned to Berlin. Pail Mall Gazette.

Sam Patch,s Successor.

A reckless chap, calling himself Capt.
Julius D. Rhodes of Springville, Erie
county, yesterday made daring jump
into Niagara river, in imitation of the
feats of Sam Patch, who fourishel and
was killed in this city some forty-fve
years ago. The Courier thus decribes
his Jump from a skeleton platform or
tower, eighty-four feet high, built on
the rocks near the foot of the incline
railway, Prospect Park: "This he did a
few minutes before 4 o'clock, in the
presence Of at least two thousand peo-

full and easy one, and he came up smil-
