Publish the Pension Roll.

The surprising fact has lately come
to light that the list of pensioners OF
the United States has never been print
ed, and motion for its publication has
actually been opposed in the Senate on
the extraordinary ground that deserving g
soldiers should not be subjected to the
"mortiication" of having their names
published as pensioners. 1t is hard to
believe that anyone could think it a
disgrace to receive pension for honor.
able services. On the contrary, it should
be esteemed, as it always has been es-
teemed, an honor, and the only persons
who would possibly be mortified" at
seeing their names on the pension list
would be those who never have done
anything to entitle them to such a re-
ward
This is one reason why the list ought
to be printed, and possibly one reason,
also, why it has not been printed. 1t
would lead 10 the detection of fraud.
The pension list has now been swollen
to the enormous total of one hundred
millions, and even under the very liber-
al provisions of Congress it is impossi-
BILE that all this money is disbursed to
those only who are entitled to it, In
deed, it is notorious that thousands of
people are drawing pensions upon man
ufactured claims, while others who did
receive disabling injuries in the service
are getting nothing. The publication
and proper distribution of the roll of
pensioners would stop all this.
The pension roll should be a roll of
honor. 1t should be carefully compiled
and printed and copies of the list for
each State should be placed on file ut
every State capital, and the list for each
county in the Office of the county courts,
80 that they should be accessible for
public examination. In this way repe-
titions, impersonations and illegal
claims of every kind would be detected,
the impostors exposed and the names
of heroic soldiers who suffered for their
country and have received the country s
grateful acknowledgement in return,
would be preserved to fame. BY all
means let the list be printed,-Phila.

Chairman Cooper has been boasting
gleefully that the Labor .Greenback par
ty can be manipulated to help Beaver.
To newspaper reporter the otherday he
declared Armstrong; support will be
drawn manly from the Democrats. In
1878 Quay played that game success
fully. He hired men to organize
Greenback lodges and paid his agents
to get Democrats to vote the third
ticket while their Republican associates,
by prearrangement, voted for Hoyt
That scheme succe eded because IL was
worked secretly. The plot to betray
the Labor cause this year has been ex.
posed. The honest candidates and
leaders in that cause will not allow
themselves to be sold oit.
The laboring men of Assembly Ga Of
the knights of Labor, of Philadelphia
have declared as follows:
"WuEREAs, 1t has been rumored
that attempts have been made and are
being made in certain sections of the
State to purchase the votes of members
of the Knights of Labor organizations
in the interest of certain politica

"Resolued, That we, the members
of Assembly Ga, knights of Labor, dc
hereby protest against all such attempts
as preiudicial to the honor of our order

"Resolced, That we advise all true
Knights of Labor throughout the State
of Pennsylvania to repudiate and spur
all unholy advances from the paid EN-
issaries of political managers of what
ever party, to the end and that no stig
ma shall attach to our order or to the
cause for which we are organized"
If Democratic leaders and newspaper,
all over the State properly sound the
alarm the "paid emnissaries' who arr
making the 'unholy advances will bt
scared off. Political tricks and Chi
canery need concealment and hide ii
darkness. Publicity and exposure
wither them. Wherever it is sought t.

Another Cav Cashier,
lie sPECULATEs IN OIL WITH THE FUNDS
OF THE BANK-S100,000.

Quite furry was created in Frank
lin Pa. last Friday morning by the an
nouncement that John +. Craft, cashier
of the Exchange bank, was defaulter
to large amount The exact sum
cannot be stated but is said to be be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. 1t is
said that Craft lost heavily on the oil
market, and used the bank funds to
cover his losses. The stockholders of
the bank are individually liable, and
are prepared to meet all demands made
upon the bank. The bank will con-
tinue business as usual. There is no
indication of run on the bank and
the depositors are confident that they
will be paid 100 cents on every dollar.

Pattison was not present in Harris
burg at the convention which nominal,
ed him; he never left his office in Phla-
delphia, nor was he for moment upset
or distracted by his nomination. Such
self possession in young man not yet
32 years of age, and nominated for the
highest office in the gift of the people
of great State, is certainly remarka-
BILE, and his letter marks an epoch in
the history of politics in Pennsylvania.
The genius of common sense is the
secret TO success in business, and its in
fusion into the politics of Pennsylvania
is what is needed to redeem the com

and corruption.

Wet any candidate or other person in
this county of violation of the act of
Assembly relating to election expenses,

secures the county nominations must

the county convention, it is time the
alleged practices were stopped. Reform

A boy twelve years old has just been
convicted of murder in st, Louis, for
killing his father. The boy appeared
to have no consciousness of the enorm
ity of his deed. He was put upon the
stand and freely recited the manner in
which the crime had been committed.
He claimed that his father had punish
ed him without knowing that he had
done wrong. He insisted that he only
wanted to hurt his father as much as
the latter had hurt him. The jury con
victed the youthful defendant of mur-
der in the first degree, and, unless a
new trial is obtained, he stands fair
chance of suffering the capital penalty

Chairman Cooper discovered that
Robert E. Pattison, the Democratic
candidate for governor is native of
Maryland; but Chairman Cooper is not
insisting so strongly that a man not
born in Pennsylvania cannot appreciate
the wants of its people since it has been
disclosed that Cooper himself was born
in Ohio and that his candidate for lieu
tenant governor was born in Wales.

The men who propose 20 have the
laboring men of Pennsylvania on the
auction block, will find a miscalcula-
ton. The men who earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow cannot be
bought and sold by the Republican po-

will bitterly resent the insult that has
been offered them by Cooper's boasts
of the ease with which he will make sue
cessful assaults upon their virtue.

The republican organs are circulat-

has said that Pattisons nomination was
a mistake. They said the same of A.

the report, and so this time they select
man who is in Europe and who can
not deny the allegation because he has
not heard OF it. This is only one Of
the methods Of modern republicanism.

1t must not be considered that any
part of this communication is u fault
finding with the degree of promotion,
as it has been made in the cavalry, for
I claim that the promotion cited, is
rather under that which should be
natural, where very nearly all officers
above the rank Of second lieutenant are
of an about equal length of service and
same age, it being a well accepted fact
that the great incentive in all profess
sions is through the hope for advance
ment, this hope leading all to cliug to
the loved profession through many re-
buffs, still hoping despite the knowl-
edge that ''hope deferred maketh the
heart sick"
Well knowing your disposition to
f~avorably consider the rue interests of
the service, which can only be those of
the country in which its members are
placed, constrains me to ask a place in
your paper for this exposition OF a, to
many, painful condition, and to solicit
your advocacy of the measure proposed
by the Hon. Mr.. Errett, if my argu-
ment has convinced you of the propriety
Of its purpose.
