Some time ago the House of Representatives
adopted joint resolution providing for the
appointment of joint congressional committee
to investigate alleged abuses in the U. s. courts
The resolution was based upon charges made
against the clerk OF the u s. court In Cincin-
natl, and the House seemed to think that while
they were at it they might as well go through
all the courts. Senator David Davis, whose
association with the legislative department of
the government has not destroyed his esteem
for the judicial branch. resented this resolution
as sort of imputation upon the courts. He
procured an adverse report from the Senate
judiciary committee, on the ground that the
.. S. judges have supervisory authority over
the officers OF the courts and that the char
acter of the former is such as to give assurance
that they will not permit dishonest or corrupt
officials to remain in Office. Conservative minds
will all agree with Senator Davis in his view of
the question. 1t Is al-important for us to pre-
serve the integrity of our judiciary and to keep
1t above politics.

The Boston Herald, which has not favored the
Grant boom hitherto, proposes the name of ex-
Governor Rice, OF Massachusetts, as an excel
lent candidate for the second place on a ticket
with Gen. Grant at its head. 1t says of Grant
and Rice: Both are intensely American with
Astounding faith in the future greatness Of the
republic, of broad gauge, with no pet theories
beyond the strengthening Of the general gov
ernment and the enforcement of the laws I.
Grant is soldier; Rice Is a merchant.
Both are strong supporters Of peace and order
The ticket so constituted would be harmonious,
eupht Nous and popular" The Herald does not
say in So many words that 1t would support the
ticket it ggests, but that is fair inference.

In the ten asst Congresses 20 1900 bills for the
payment OF private claims have been intro
duced, or at tbs rate Of 1000 year or three a
day, winter AMI summer. The difficulty that
Congress has 10 contend with in regard to this
class OF bills IS that they will not be rejected
The same private claims bills that are defeated
In one Congress come up In the next and all the
trouble and expense OF consideration is repeated
1t is probable that some Of these bills have been
rejected as many as nine times, and will meet
the same fate In the present Congress The
object OF Congress now is to devise some plan
by which these bills can be erectuaily killed

The New Ehsland papers are industriously
working up presidential boom fer Senator Ed
munds. Leaving out Maine, which is conceded
to Blaine, the other five New England states
will have siXty-six delegates in the national
convention. This is sufficient, Mr.. Edmunds
friends urge, to make him formidable candl-
date If the sixty-six will stick together. In the
Cincinnati convention when Mr.. Hayes entered
the contest he had only the A votes of Ohio to
back him, and then got the nomination on the
seventh ballot 1t will hardly be practicable at
this late day to concentrate the votes of five
New England states upon Mr.. EdmundS. :Sena-
tor Blaine has obtained pretty strong hold in
these states, and ii Is said that New Hampshire
will be as solid for him as Maine. In Massachu-
sets the Grant men are making headway and
they are counting with some confidence upon
securing the delegation from that state for their
candidate,

Gen. Butler, president of the board OF man.
ayers of the soldiers homes, in his annual
report, which Is just out, devotes considerable
attention to the question of paying pensions
directly to the inmates of homes He says the
arrears OF pension bill gave to the inmates large
sums, varying from 5000 to 81 800 each, and the
managers insisted that all this money should
be paid into the treasures of the homes The
inmates insisted upon their right to draw their
own pensions, and Attorney General Devens
decided in their favor. Those inmates who had
such sums of ready money had to be discharged
from the homes under the rules, which provide
that none who can maintain themselves shall
be supported. General Butler continuing,
says that the inmates who left the
homes with large sums of ready mo-
ney In their pockets are now "coming back
after one, two, three and four months absence,
with their money entirely gone, almost univer-
sally squandered, broken down in health with
added disabilities, many of them only lit SUBJ
jects for the hospital to be cared for out of our
funds, making an additional burden upon u.s.
The board do not criticise, as they have not the
right to critCiSe, the decision of the law officer
OF the government, but, assuming it to be the
law, we bring it to the attention of Congress- so
that If ever hereafter any gratuity is to be given
to the soldier, so far as the national home is con-
bling sharks and rumsellers who prey upon the
soldier, and be in fact a gratuity to them, and
not to the soldier himself, except to be a curse,
and not blessing" General Butler fails to
mention the fact that the United States Supreme
Court also decided that the inmates of the homes
were entitled to draw their OWL pensions, and
by inference, spend the money as they pleased.
This decision Of the court received univer-
sal approval, outside the managers of the
soldiers homes, because it was regarded
as matter of justice to the soldier
whose pension was intended to reward him
in part for his services to the government.
Many of the inmates of these homes were dis
abled by wounds received In battle and were
thus rendered unable to support themselves
Gen. Butler entirely ignores the legal aspect Of
the question and presents, what he would have
appear, as the moral view of the case While
1t is no doubt true that some of the inmates
have squandered their pension money and, in
restitution, have been compelled to return to
the homes, 1t is also True that others have in
vested the money they drew from the govern
ment Judiciously. Some have engaged in ] q IL
ness for themselves and some have BEST N ID
their money upon needy families. Such cases
entirely offset Gen. Buffers argument.

that she could have his seat, at the same time
remarking that he was ''getting off here" The
latter remark was made. probably, to quell
any fears that might be entertained of his dis
turbing himself on her account. The lady was
rather surprised at the seat being offered to
her instead of the passenger with the crutch,
and omitted to thank the man, but with the
ready and instructive courtesy which belongs
only to kind and benevolent heart, proffered
the vacant upholstered space to her helpless
fellow passenger, who accepted 1t after many
protestat1ons. After riding several blocks, the
young lady with the crutch arose, put that
wooden implement under the arm of an CID
lady opposite; and, with the remark, 1--WE get
