The Memphis Appeal says 1t is no
unlikely the present Congress will pu
upon the pension roll the veterans Of
the Mexican and Indian wars. Hon.
Mr.. Cohroth has submitted report
upon the subject OF exceeding ability,
in which he eilcclually answers and de
molishes all the captious objection to
this long deferred act Of justice. 1t
is estimated that all but about seven
thousand of the army OF one hundred
thousand seven hundred and eighty
men of all arms enrolled in the Mexi-
can war, have passed away. The ma
lien should set u seal TO its gratitude
for their valuable achievements by at
once placing the remnan, of agallan,
army VI on its pension rolls.

it, or by the party which fought
four years to save it.-R. g. Horr
in his Jackson speech.
Now look at this picture
The war for the Union was sue
cessfully closed more that fifteen
years ago. All classes Of our peo-
pie must share alike in the blessings
Of the Union, and are equally con-
cerned in its perpetuity and in the
proper administration of public
affairs. We are in a state of
profound peace. Henceforth let
it be our purpose to. cultivate
sentiments Of friendship and not
animosity among our fellow citi-
zens. Our material interests, vari-
ed and progressive, demand our
constant and united efforts. y
sedulous and scrupulous care Of the
public credit, together with a wise
and economical management Of our
governmental expenditures, should
be maintained in order that labor
may be lightly burdened and that
all persons may be protected ii
their right to the fruits of their
own industry. The time has come
to enjoy the substantial benefits o
reconciliation. As one people We
have common interests. 80 Gcn

Sketch OF The candidate.

From the Saginaw UouucI
Timothy + Tarsney, the nominee
of the Democratic Congressional
Convention for the Eighth District,
was born March 10. 1919. at Hud-
son. Lenawee county, Michigan,
He received the benefits OF a COM
mon school education. and when
quite young started ont to make a
fight for the future. He went up
on the lakes and rose 20 the posi-
ton Of steamboat engiueer,--a
position he filed some years, there
by becoming familiar with the
coast line of the district The
young and energetic greasy en-
gineer' was not satisfied. however,
to plod along this way, and recog-
nizing honest labor as the sure
foundation of building upward, lac
fitted himself during his leisure
moments for larger sphere Of use
fulues.. In the fall of 1871 he en-
tered the law department of the
University and graduated il 1872.
He practiced law a short the AT
Hudson and then removed to this
city which has since been bis home.
He has held the positions of justice
of the peace and city attorney with
honor TO himself and credit to the
community. He is one Of the most
companionable young men in the
Eighth District, ready speaker,
all honorable, manly, generous
young man, who possesses thorough
business qualifications, and one
whom the young and old of the
Democracy can rally around en-
Enthusiastically. He comes from the
ranks of the laboring, industrious
people, and through his own eXer-
tons he has risen to a respected
position in the profession to which
he belongs.

The Federal Courts.

That the third resolution Of the
Democratic State Convention is
timely and well taken, is manifest
ell and brought home to us in the
case OF Pack VS.. Mccartney, a
cause lately pending in the Alpena
Circuit Court between residents Of
this county, Two years the plain
tiff had been biding his time, the
wheels of the Court were in mo-
ton, the case on call. when sudden
IL he is confronted with the res
training order Of a federal court,
distant, two days travel, and at the
same time learns that the Judge
issuing it cannot be reached, as he
is ell route for Europe for a sum
mer's vacation.
Our ordinary laws. delays and
burdens are vexatious enough with
out being multiplied by meddle-
some and ofiicious federal officers,
and especially so in cases iri,oo "a
ciD solely and clearly within the
jurisdiction of the State courts,
and where the impertinent inter-
ference means to the helpless liti-
giant, at least $500 additional ex-
pense., and possibly years delay.

John Sherman, in letter dated
Jan. 81, 1870, and addressed TO
Chester A. Arthur, then collector
Of the Port Of New York, said:
"Gross abuses Of administration
have continued and increased dur
ing your incumbencv."
And Hayes, in a letter of the
same date, TO the the same Chester
A. Arthur, collector, said:
with a deep sense of my obliga-
ton under the Constitution, j re-
gard it as my plain duty to sus-
pend you in order that the Office
may be honestly administered"
IL is the same Chester A. Arthur,
insulted by John Sherman and
kicked out of Office by Hayes for
incompetency and impelled dishon-
esty, that the Republican party is
now running for vice-President Of
