Extra PAY FoB MEXICAN Wan VETERANS.
Among the bills which passed Congress
and were approved by the President, near the
close Of the last session, was one to give three
months extra pay TO officers and soldiers OF
the Mexican war. The law Of July 10, 1913,
provided that the officers, non commissioned
officers and priyates engaged in the military
serrice Of the United States in the war with
Mexico, who served out the term Of their ca.
gagement or we're honorably discharged,
should receive three months extra pay, pro.
yided they had been in actual service. II
also provided for giving this extra pay to the
heirs of those who died in the service. The
act Of February 10, 1873, reyives tbs old law
giving the three months extra pay under the
same limitations, upon the presentation Of
satisfactory evidence that said extra compen-
satiou has not been previously received
The new act also includes with the officers
aud men Of the army the Officers, petty off
GERS, seamen and marines Of the United States
Navy and the Revenue Marine Service. -
The object Of the law is apparently 10 give to
alse Navy similar extra pay TO that which Con-
gress thirty years ago voted to the army.

The particulars Of the continued non.ap

Glouster, Mass, which have been missing
since February 10, are Of very painful char
aeter. Ii is believed that IA vessels and l5s
men were lost in the storms off the Massa.

2lst. This" we are told, sis the largest
number lost in any one gale in the history Of
the fishing business since the settlement Of
the city, in 1885, although in the gale Of Feb.
ruary -, 1869, there we're Is vessels and II
men thatneverrelprned, leaving 20 widows and
$50 fatherless children. In that year, pre-
vious to the gale in February, there had been |
vesselsand 70 men lost, making grand total O
10 vessels and l4S men. In the year 1861
there was a heavy gale on March % and OF
the fleet absent at that time (57 in number OF

aud these are the three most disastrous gales
that have occurred in the history Of the fishing
business, so far as the loss Of human life /.
concerned, although the year 1871 was yer,
disastrous, the total losses being 10 vessel,
and 40 men." There are slight hopes tina
some Of the vessels now missing may not hay,

no news Of them, the fear that they may neyel
be heard Of again is reduced almost to :

Congress has met aud organized, and the
mishaps 10 the Democratic party, so often
predicted, did not occur. The contest over
the Speakership, previously magni6ed into
Incorporating hostility between the
friends Of the aspirants, proved to be only
harmonious rivalry, and the split in the
party did not take place.
For the FIRST time in eighteen years, the
Democrats hold majority in both bran
ches Of Congress, and will direct its leg
islatiou. The Republicans Of the Senate,
who in the last Congress held that branch,
and occupied much Of its time in abusing
the South and the Democratic party, and
in buncombe speeches, have expressed a
desire that Congress should direct itself at
once to the work for which it was mainly
called--to make appropriations for leg
islative and judicial purposes, for the
expenses Of the several executive depart
menis Of the government, and for the sup
port Of the army--and not to so into gen
eral business. These bills were allowed to
20 over at the close of the last Congress,
because the Republicans refused to agree
to repeal Of the jurors test oath, super
visors Of election law, aud the law per-
hitting the presence of the military at
the polls. These odious laws the Republi-
cans desire to retain upon the statute books.
They have proved efficient in sitting pub
lie opinion and keeping their party in
power, and, armed with these, they pro-
posed to make herculean effort next year
to carry the presidential election. But,
the Democrats viii not fulfill the expecta-
tions Of their constituents, should they fail
to repeal these measures. They have the
power to do SO, and should attach amend
ments for their repeal to the appropriation
bills, and pass them. That majorities
should rule, has ever been recognized 10
this country. The Democrats comprise
large majority of the voters, and have
elected majority Of the members of Con-
gress, and that party desires and demands
the repeal of these obnoxious measures.
Should Mr.. Hayes interpose lactious OPP
position and veto the bills, Congress should
adjourn without providing means for car
rying on the government, and cast the re-
sponsibility upon Mr.. Hayes and his party,
where it would belong. The enactments
are unconstitutional and subversiye Of the
rights Of the people, aud if Mr.. Hayes
should iaterfere to retain them, let him
and his party bear the consequences. Too
long has the Republican party been riding
roughshod over the people, trampling upon
theirrighisand robbing the public treasury.
The Democrats are now in a position TO
do much to bring the government back to
its former economical and constitutional
position, aud they should bend their ener-
GIGS to the work.
