Most Shameful, if True.

There said to be than 900 ex-Union soldiers
in the poorhouses of New York State-Batauia IN "
NenS, June z.
We clip the above lines and place them in our col
umns with mingled feelings of astonishment and in
dignation. Can the averment be really true we
mentally ask, that the proud State of New York
and the United States of America will calmly and
complacently permit men who risked everything on
behalf of their country to be numbered among the
paupers of the land to dwell in it's poor houses
often kept in the most vile and wretched manner
1t is very easy to talk patriotism it is very cheap
to express gratitude; but what we need to exhibit
our patriotism and gratitude By 1oorks There should
be Soldiers Homes in half dozen places in such
a State as New York, where soldiers wasted and
worn, could find real homes. These places could
all be made, in great measure, self-sustaining
Now it would appear if the following old rhyme
might be apropos:
God and Soldier, all doth adore
In time of
When the is righted.
God Is forgotten and the Soldier sighted"

A SHORT time since we said that Mr.,
Tilden claimed two very important
things that no president should be re.
elected, and that he was elected presi.
dent in '76. Now if the latter claim be
true THAT he is president de jprt isn't
he somewhat inconsistent with his first
point9 Yet he is on rec ord. In his
letter of acceptance he said:
While much may be accomplished by
these methods it might encourage de-
lusive expectations if l withheld here
the expression of my conviction that
no reform Of the civil service in this
country will be complete and perma-
nent until its chief magistrate is con-
stitutionally disqualified for reelection:

the futility Of self imposed restrictions

THE United States are a leading ma

which had demonetized silver, ours was
the first to restore the metal to trade

to be in real earnest in the promise to

The business men of England, especial
ly those vino deal heavily with India
and other outside countries which have
silver as the standard currency, are
moving powerfully to secure the none

they are in earnest they will succeed,
for in no civilized country in the world
have the merchants thereof greater in

poleou Bonaparte. ale would he 1ool

sons interpret the demonstrations along the
route and at the stoprng.places OF General
Grant as indications that he has so strong a
hold on the people that they will elect him
President for third term, and that they
would not resist the conversion, at bis
beck, OF our free Government into al EN-.
pire with him at its head. Supposing this
to be true. and Grant 10 entertain an ambl-
ton for lifelong power, his next aim will
be TO get possession OF the army. His long
military service and the prestige OF his
military successes will essentially aid him
in this. Are the people blind! Will they
submit to the first step toward the over
throw OF their free institutions by electing
Grant President for IL third term? Grant

low the examples of the Comprehensive
