Equalization of Bounties.

This just and equal measure has not yet been
reported in either House from the Committee
but expect it will be soon 1t will be well
for Congress give this fair hearing and early and
favorable consideration. There are good many

that they are entitled to this money. They remem-

Give the Old Soldiers Hearing,

An old soldier, writing from Hamilton, Steuben
County, Indiana, says: want to petition Con-
gress to remove Bentley and give the old soldiers
hearing speedily" We are earnestly in favor Of
one of these propositions the other. Oh, if the
old veterans of Shiloh and Mission Ridge, Antie
tam and Gettysburg, Seven Pines and Fair Oaks
could tell the tale again of all their suferngs and
pryations and the wrongs heaped upon them by
the Pension Office during the last few years we
think Bentley would feel like calling the rocks to

A National Aims House.

If the Sixty-Surgeon Bill passes there will be
needed at once, large appropriation for vast Ma

crippled, soldiers, and the widows and orphans of
dead ones, or else such will have to find refuge in
the poorhouses all over the country provided, these

of version of the song, "Poor Old Soldier"

which no taxes are paid. From the fnnd

Life by Former Citizen Of wheeling.
LECTION, NEB., Dec. "a, 1879.
Editor lntClliSenccr.
In company with four other men and
two teams, left home three weeks ago
for the canyons in the Upper Loups River
country. After visiting Cedar Posts, we
crossed the Platte River, following the
Union Pacific Railroad to Gibson, thence
up Wood River, whose valley is the most
beautiful and richest country in western
Nebraska. The stream is a narrow, shall.
low bottom Of sand, but on each side is a
wide and rich valley, dotted with little
bodies Of timber, such as elm, ash, oak
and cottonwood, which add greatly to It's
beauty. The valley is being rapidly set
tied by an enterprising set Of men, land
being put under cultivation, a herd of cat
tie can occasionally be seen, and a fine
new school house or church building
breaks the monotony Of the view. These
mansions have made wonderful change
during the four years since ] first saw it.
The country is covered with Texas cattle,
deer, antelopes and wolves. 1t is certain.
y charming valley, and more desira-
Bile place could not be desired by those
seeking homes in the West.
We followed this little river for nearly
one hundred miles to its head, where In
camping at q deserted rancho we had the
honor o.. q grand serenade from wolves,
which came so near that they made our
horses rear and snort. Heie we found
quite q peculiarly. Just where this
stream headed and where the head Of
Cottonwood creek or canyon on which we
were going, was, the groand was as level
as on Main street. On your front the
divide was not over eight feet wide and
no perceptible roll, and not until we had
gone some distance could We discover the
gentle roll toward the Loup river. We
suddenly found ourselves near the mouth
OF Cottonwood canyon, where j. P. Olive
and his gang OF outlaws and murderers
killed and burned Mitchell and Ketckum,
the most savage and terrible act Of cruelty
ever known 10 have been com.

Temperance Reform al Morgantown, and
How IL was Effected.

How IL was Effected.
Many men have many minds, and many
men have many notions as to the best way
of serving the cause OF temperance In the
matter OF intoxicating drinks. There are
those who favor radical and extreme
methods in temperance, on the theory that
Il man Is right be cannot be too radical
ly right, or If cause is right there can be
no compromise in regard TO it. This is the
theory of those who at a blow would wipe
out the whole liquor business. Again,
there are those who believe that progress
in any reform is necessarily plant OF
gradual and slow growth; that little by
little public sentiment must be educated
and changed; that in the end right ever
comes uppermost, and "ever is justice
DONE"
We do not propose to discuss the
relative merits OF these two theo-
ries in regard to temperance. They
are both on trial in various parts
Of the country, and out OF both a certain
amount OF permanent good is being eVol-
we'd. Out at Morgantown, where they
seem to have suffered more or less from
the introduction Of liquor among the
University students, and where 1t is GER
tainly desirable that as few temptations
as possible to dissipation should be set
before the youth in attendance there at
school, they have had license law. AS
is usually the case under such circam-
stances the license TO sell liquor has been
perverted and abused, and TO such an ex-
tent has this been done that. the grand
Jury OF the county at a late session found
extensive bills OF Indictment against
licensed parties for repeated violations Of
the law in the matter OF selling liquor to
minors. So searching and extensive were
the findings Of the jury that the indicted
parties became panic stricken at the pros
pect before them in the way OF penalties,
and, as the best compromise they could
make III OEueE " Save tlleustlfeoI Weut
into Court and confessed judgment to
several indictments, and agreed that, II as
to the balance Of the indictments stay
should be ordered, they would throw up
their licenses and quit the business. This
arrangement, as we are informed, was en- /.
tered into, and the result is that Morgan
town Is once more place where no license
exists to sell liquor.
This action on the part Of the Monon-
gala county authorities is In accordance
with the views advanced by Chancellor
Crosby, OF the New York University, who
insists that the best way to deal with in.
temperance in this country Is to faithfully
enforce existing laws as to liquor selling.
He holds that rigid enforcement OF the
laws that exist by virtue Of the public
sentiment that demanded and secured
them, is an effective way to circumscribe
and curtall the acknowledged evils that
flow from intemperance. The results at
Morgantown certainly go TO show that
there is much In his theory to commend
II to the favor OF temperance people every.
