Ben Hills speech in the senate is full
OF pith, point and patriotism. We would
that every northern and union man
spoke and thought as sensibly as this
..arch rebel" The democratic party he
said, was about to return full hedged to
power, because the people are satisfied
that the republican party was no longer
competent to remain in power. There
were four things which it ought to pro-
claim to the world and adhere to them
with fidelity. First-he would not pay
any war claims. whether the parties were
loyal or disloyal; second, he would vote
no more public money or land to build
up railroad corporations; third. he
would in good faith pay every dollar of
the public debt, principal and interest,
in good money OF standard value
fourth, he would restore the constitution
OF the country and honesty in its admin
istration. Do these things, and. in his
judgment, the child was not born who
would witness the termination OF demo-
cratic rule in this country. The people
of this country ought to wake up to the
conviction that the late war was an hon.
est war. 1t was Il war fought on account
of the conviction that they were right.
This perpetual talk about rebels and
fidelity to the union did not come from
magnanimous spirits. The war is over,
the union is restored, and it is time that
we should leave the passions OF war be-
hind. The manned southern soldier
would never ask congress for pension.
His widow and orphan would never ask
for it. They accepted their losses as a
penalty for failure as brave men should
do. The sooner the people OF the south
were taught to repair their losses by
work. by irugahty and industry. the bet
ter it would be tor them and the country
Let the losses OF the war go, and if peo.
pie desire to avoid such losses in the fu.
ture, they must avoid war. Who is the
better union man and patriot to-day, the
man who speaks thus. or Blaine, Conk-
ling and other champions st eternal hate

THE PENSION LAW.
(From the St. Louis Post Dispatch

Now that the peUslon grab has
been put through to the satisfaction
of ali bu: those who pay the money,
it ia proposed to stop the grab busi-
ness by binding congress not to pay
any claims of "disioyaF persons.
This is an exhibition OF virtue of the
cheap and nasty kind, which is. if
possible, more digusting than the
more brazen vice. 1t is intended as all
insult to the southern democrats, aud
is merely continuation Of that pro-
grammr of insolence which represents
the highest possibility OF bloody
shirt craftsmanship. The calmness
and moderation of the democrats
under tue provocatiOn they are re-
ceiving entities them to great praise.

SUPERIOR ABILITIES.

IFrom the Burlington Hawkeye.l
Now there abideth these things, which
every man can do better than any one
else:
Poke fire.
Put on his own hat.
Edit newspaper.
Tell story after the other man has
begun it.
Examine railroad time table.
DID you ever notice that il you open
railroad guide and begin to look for
some particular tram, that some otficious
man IN the crowd will spring up and
lay his great thumb right over the
column your train Is In, and try to find
you the night express on the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy by roaming up
and down column headed "accommo-
datlon," in the Illinois Central side OF
the pagep And you can't bluff HIM off,
either. A few days age quiet-looking
man on the Wabash railroad called the
train boy and asked him tor a railroad
guide for moment. Then he began te
examine the columns, and busy -look-
ing man behind him leaned over the
seat and said:
What train are you looking forP
Where do you want to gop can find
it tor you, If you're not much accustom-
ed to this sort OF thing
The stranger thanked him and said he
was looking up some oil the connections
OF the Wabash railroad, and he guessed
he could find what he wanted.
The busy man Immediately took hold
of the guide and pulled 1t away from
him.
You'll never find it looking that
way" he said .'now tell me where you
want to 60. know nearly all the con-
nections of this road. travel over this
line twice every sixty days"
After vain effort to get his guide
book, the stranger reluctantly yielded,
and the busy man looked down the
column OF ticket fares" and ascertained
that the strangers train reached Dan
vile at 81 6. and then he looked down
the column OF distances and discovered
that the connecting train for Vincennes
lett at 1884. Then he handed the guide
back to the stranger, and leaned back in
| his seat with the air of man, Chris
| tian, unselfsh man, who had, at some
trouble to himself, OF course, set 81 be-
wildered waytarer right. The stranger
thanked him quietly and with every ap-
pearance of profound gratitude.
"Oh," the man said loitily, that's all
right; these railroad guides are all
Greek to people who amt accustomed to
railroading."
By and by the stranger went into the
other coach, and the busy man, noticing
the respectful demeanor OF the brake.

And said: "Conf.ss I must
