support it, but we don't want
any more men of the Moses stamp.
Their party principles were spoila-

Death of Gen. JudSon Fitzpatrick.

This brave and dashing officer oil

lion, died on the 4th instant, of
Bright's Disease, at Valparaiso. He
was born near Deckertown, N. j., Jan.
IA, 1886 and graduated at West Point
in 1861. Receiving a commission
as Captain in the New York Fifth
Regiment. Duryea's Zouaves, he was
wounded in the fight at Big Bethel,
June 10th. After his recovery, he
was made successfully Lieut.. Colonel
and Colonel of the Second N, Y.
Cavalry, and subsequently attained
the rank of Major General. He was
looked upon as an excellent cavalry
officer, and won great distinction in
that branch of the service during the
war. In November 1865, he was APP
pointed Minister to Chill, where he
married a native as his second wife,
Returning from Chilli, after three
years official residence, he spent his
time chiefly on his farm and in de-
livering political and literary adj
dresses, until he was appointed

The pension rolls of United State

The pension rolls of United States
government for December amount to
S,90O.0O0. There is so much that
is suspicious about the continued and
rapid swelling of the pension list,
Notwithstanding that it is sixteen
years since the close of the war of the
rebellion, that Congress will ere
long have to take vigorous measures
of inquiry to ascertain where the
frauds lie. aud who is guilty of the
preparation. 1t will be found. we
apprehend, that professional claim
agents have too much influence
in certain official circles at Washing
ton.

Judge Yellott, in his opinion in
the cases of the crews of the oyster
dredging vessels, who have been
confined in the Anne Arundel county
jail, and whom he had released upon
writs of habeas corpus, attacks the
proposition that under any form of
law justices of the peace are en-
powered to impose criminal senten-
ces. 1.-THE legislature cannot" he
says, "empower a justice of the peace
to assume Jurisdiction in criminal
cause" and he adds that 1.-THE legis-
lature of Maryland at its last session
has done what the omnipotent Par
Lament of England would hesitate
to attempt" and that "the action of
the legislature was more in conform
ity with the summary mode of pro.
cedure of the Russian empire"

The Baltimore american of 18th
says: The Democratic conference
to prepare reform measures was fiz-
zle, after all. Only three members
of the committee were present, and
one of them was the Attorney Gen.
eral. Governor Hamilton, Mr.. S.
Teackle Wallis and Henry d. Far
nandis were conspicuous by their alb
sence. The Governor was in the
city during the day, intending to at
tend the conference, but after max
ing inquiries, he thought it best to
return home. Attorney General
Gwinn submitted his registration
bill, and there the matter ended.

The meeting was non-pOlitical in
character. comprising men of all par

now going on between Senator Voor-

whether the Democratic party is or
is not for free trade, seems to be
especially timely.
Henry says it is out-and. out for

'The Democratic party never was a

The Democracy and the Pensions.

Inc UelOcfdcy anu Ine PENSIONS.
With admirable candor the Demo-
cratic newspaper at Utica, The o.
serUer, confesses the responsibility of
its party for the passage of the mon
strous Pensions Arrears Bill by the
last Congress, and therefrom reads
its friends a lesson. Commenting
upon the startling announcement by
Commissioner Dudley. that the de-
fciency under this bill. which was
supposed to appropriate in all not
more than SIS. 900, 900, is 1926, 600 900,
it says with great frankness: "The
act under which this staggering sum
of Indebtedness is accumulating was
passed by Democratic majority chief
Iy as party measure" OF course
there was insincerity and trickery in
it, else why should Democrats go out
of their way 10 lavish pensions upon
soldiers in war which they pro-
nounced unconstitutional and un-
holy, and bitterly opposed from be-
ginning to end 4? The demagogism
Of the bill was apparent enough at the
time, ut it is well to have the con-
fession of it from Democratic au-
lhority. The Observer says: ut
was thought, and with some superb
cial show of reason, that if Demo
Tcratic Congress exceeded in liberality
to the soldier pensioners of the land
the previous Republican Congresses,
the result must be helpful to the party
among the class of voters directly
interested"
This might be more plainly stated
thus: The Democratic majority in
Congress, haying control ofappropria-
tons and command of the Treasury,
used the opportunity to draw on the
Treasury for money to buy the sol
diers vote. That is the whole of it.
1t could not be pretended that they
were acuated by sympathy for the
soldier or love for the cause in which
he fought. Over against any such
pretence the too fresh record stands.
What they saw was chance to buy,
or attempt to buy, the favor of large
class of voters naturally hostile to
them, at no cost to themselves, but
at the expense of the National Treas
ury. For this they passed the bill
'chiefy as party MEASURE" and in
the confident belief that "the result
must be helpful to the party among
the class of voters directly interest
ed" But the game did not work.
The tricksters gain nothing, though
the Treasury is depleted. For it is
further admitted by the same candid
organ that although brave and
popular soldier was our Presidential
nominee, little later the vote show
ed that the Arrears Bill had made no
friends for the party he represented"
The Observer commends the lesson
and its moral to its Democratic
friends in Congress and in the Legis-
lature.
1t occurs to us that the scope of
this confession might not unprofit-
ably be enlarged. and the force of the
moral perhaps increased. This par
ticular act was such patent dema-
gogism that it needed no defining.
But it is only one of many. The
same insincerity, trickiness and de-
ceit have characterized Democratic
policy in the treatment of every
public question for the past twenty
years, until the reputation of the
party in that regard has become
notorious. But it has never paid,
and it never will. This living by
tricks upon Jewellers is precarieus
and unprofita ble.-N. Y Tribune.
