THE pension bill passed by Congress
last week and now under consideration
by the president provides simply this j:
That every wounded soldier, or every
widow of soldier killed in the service,
or who died of disease contracted while
in the service, who at some time subse-
quent to such disability or death made
proper application to the government
and was granted pension to continue
from that time onward, shall now receive
from the treasury . sum equal to that
which he would have received up to the
time Of application had that pension
commenced with the disability or death.
That Is to say, pensions are to be paid,
not only after the date of granting but
before. As most of the pensions now
paid were granted subsequent to the oc.
casion therefor, this enactment will bring
almost every pensioner in the country 10
the treasury doors with bill for arrears.
The probabilities are so complicated that
it is not easy to compute the amount of
money necessary to satisfy the demand,
bu: the commissioner Of pensions esti-
mates it at $50, ,00O, 900. 1t is thought the
President may veto the bill.

assessed him on million dollars. The

great cities of the United States-New

is collecting at fabulous prices the choice
or alleged choice productions of foreign
artists; the householder who lives In
princely style, and who, because he is
cramped for room in his present quarters,

tains,-,his person declares under oath

The Grand Lodge Of Masons Of this
state met in st. Paul on Tuesday las:
The most important action taken was
the adoption, without dissenting voice,
Of a resolution declining TO hold fraternal
relations with the Grand Orient of
France and forbidding the recognition
of the Masons under the obedience of the
said Grand Orient OF France by the
Lodges of Minnesota, until such obedi-
ence is severed-tor the reason that 4
recent action of the Grand Orient had
struck at the very root of the institution
by adopting . resolution ignoring belief
in God and the immortality Of the soul.
The Masons throughout the state con-
tributed, voluntarily, $1,sl1 for the yellow
tever sufferers, which passed through the
Grand Lodge.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
NJ. E. G. NH. II. Wells, Preston.

MoRN0NDo1 10 terribly excited over
the late decision Of the Supreme Court
that polygamy Is = crime against the
laws of the United States. Tho delegate
from Utah says great CONSERVATION pre-.
walls among the people, as it declares to
them the awful truth that the great ma.
jority Of their women are concubines and
not wives, and their children bastards and
not sons. He thinks the people will not
contest the matter further, and that there
will be no more polygsmous marriages
in future. He is desirous that congress
shall pass \ law to prevent this decision
from effecting marriages contracted pre-
vious to January 9th, the date Of the de.
clsion. If such provision is not made,
homes would be destroyed, family ties
broken, and women and children left
helpless without protection, thereby caus-
ing great deal Of unnecessary suffering.
This is asking nothing more than justice
would seem to demand.

Col. CALx1Ne, an old,line Democratic
editor of Wisconsin, in his paper, The
Telegraph, thus compliments the Repub-

honest money:
The Republicans, in wsging q cam.
paien for honest money and resumption
in the face of hard times and business
distress, have shown courage and sagacity
which have never failed them in great
emergencies of their party, and they have
redeemed themselves from what appeared
like almost inevitable defeat, with the
probable reversion of long renewal of
their lease of power.

John Sherman,

"Make our money as good as gold, ~
said Senator Sumner, land the gold OF
the world will come to our assistance,
helping all the demands Of business, aud
adapting the currency to the occasion.
Make our currency as good AS gold, and
the national example will be above re-
proach, while the wantonness of specula-
ton will give place to the just transaction
of an honest commerce. The same fa-
miliar paper will circulate, but changed
from ifeless corpse to a living soul,
recognized and honored wherever credit
is known" To John Sherman alone
give all the glory. For John Sherman
was the author of the resumption act, and
in the face Of powerful opposition, he
has made the resumption of specie pay
ments grand and glorious success. The
nation is richer to day by over two hun.
dred millions than when he was appoin-
ted Secretary of the Treasury, due almost
entirely to his able management Of its
finances. The refunding Of the bonded
debt of the country at tour per cent, which
is now rapidly taking place under his
is making that the national and
popular rate ol interest. At the east new
life seems to have been infused into
financial and commercial affairs, and
capital is no longer timid. OF course,
we IN the west will not share in this
feeling 80 much until after another crop
But certainly the outlook is cheering,
and we look for long and prosperous
dawning of brighter and
better day. We too believe, a. says =
Washington correspondent, "John Sher-
mans name will 60 into history as the
great financier of this country"

THE Dtspatch shows very poor taste, to

Gilman for his appointment Of Hon. 8. L.
Campbell to the chairmanship of the

part of the damnable conspiracy Of the
Pioneer.I Iress gang to impeach Judge
Page" and that ut is not yet clear
whether his re.appointment this year 10
simply reward for his aubserviency in
that matter, or is part Of some new con.
spiracy." Mr. Campbell il an honest,
h,gh-m,nded gentleman, and is not the
kind Of I man who will enter into con-
spiraciss OF any kind. All who have
known him long and we'll, regard him
very highly. He has represented his
county In the Legislature for several
years, and ws understand was reelected
last fall without opposltion. We believe.
we know that he was friendly to Pags
rather than his enemy aat the beglnning
Of the investigation last winter, and that
he recommended his Impeachment only
