Tho Are mrs of Pensions.

Z The cutlery against the act to pay up
the arrears of pensions due the Union
soldi in the great civil war does not
appear to have disturbed the Senate.
That body will be found nearly unani-
nous in opposition to the reputation of
dollar of these most sacred of all the
debts contracted by the Nation.
1t will never be possible to elect Con-
gress that will dare repudiate the obliga-
tions which this Nation owes to the men
who saved it. The arrearages of pensions
act, based in eternal justice and built up
in equity, will stand. The more it is as
sailed the more firmly will the country
be convinced that it's enactment was de-
handed by common fairness. Thus far
the arguments brought against it are like
straws hurled at granite wall. Are we
to do n gross and palpable wrong because
il is more expensive than we expected to
do right? Are we to deny justice to
honest claimants because it is alleged
that rascals have defrauded the Treas
ury? Where is the business man who
would think of holding up his head in
the marts of commerce while applying to
his personal business affairs such logic as
the opponents of this measure have EN-.
ployed? The obligation to pay just
claim knows no other gauge than the
ability of the debtor. 1t must be shown
that we are not able to pay these arrear
ages before there will be room to talk o
refusing payment.

her by those who want to use it to exc
cute to them a mortgage upon all her re-

thought it would be brilliant policy to
have Peru delivered over to the Peruvian
company by way ofdiscouraging Chilli from
taking erterritory so heavily mortgaged.

The IlnUln BIRD.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Critic,
most valiantly defends, and indeed
somewhat enthusiastically eulogizes, what
appears to him to be foreign policy laid
down by Mr.. Blaine. The editor of the
Critic does not with especial clearness in
dictate what doctrines orpolicy Mr.. Blaine
deems of such vital consequence as to
render it necessary that he should sing
Boo, to you'll Pooh, pooh to you'll
ut the President through the newspa-
pers, but it is evident from the general tone
ofhis treatment of the subject that in his
opinion our Eagle is not allowed that
altitude to which his proud nature as
pires. We have not seen the coop in
which Mr.. Frelinghuysen is now conGn-
ing our national bird, but we intend to
have an eye to him. And as to Presi-
dent Arthur, if his refusal to chastise
Chilli shall prove to be based on hostility
to the South American republics this
journal will make it very warm for him.
If, upon inquiry, we find that Chill is
the strongest of those republics, and that
she is and has always been on terms of
amty with the United States, and that
she desires to so continue, we shall invite
n conference of the editorial friends of
the American Eagle to consider whether
the fact that she has been victorious in q
war with Peru forces upon us the alter
native either to whip her or to forfeit our
honor. To that conference THE REpuB-
LIcAN will send only the same represen-
tation that is conceded to the Critic, Post,
and other papers which are aiding Mr..
Blaine in his noble defense of our proud
national fowl. The natural supremacy
of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in these
matters will not be asserted. The con-
duct of the President in taking the chip
off of Mr.. Trescot's shoulder, where the
brilliant foreign policy of Mr.. Blaine
had placed it, can be thoroughly
investigated at the conference, and
