Is it not well Known that in order
to procure a pension the party apply
ing for it must go before
an attorney, introduce his
witnesses and prove by them
that he (the applicant) was injured
while in the discharge of his duty as
a Union soldier, or that the disease
complained of was contracted while

If Houk had been as badly dam
aged, physically, during the war, as
he has been in character during the
past two months, he would receive a
pension of thirty dollars per month
instead of fifteen, as he now does.

We learn that some of Houk poor
little tools at Washington have got
some sort of statement from some OF
the police of Washington that il
Houk was ever in the calaboose they
don't know it, and there is no record
of it. Come on with your proof on
that subject. You know just as well
as we do that Houk was arrested and
taken to the calaboose, and that the
record, which is in Houk's we'll
known handwriting, and his signas
ture is not L. G. Houk, but L.
Campbell.
No, you can't get off by any spe-
cial pleading. In city of 100000
inhabitants the policemen can't know
everybody. In Congress there are
800 members. They don't even know
all their own members, either by
sight or name. Houk was the man
arrested. He gave his name L.
Campbell The writing is
Houk's. Everybody in Wash
ington knows it was Houk
and no puny effort to break the force
of it now, after Houk himself has
virtually admitted it, but claimed he
was poisoned, will deceive the people
of this district. Publish any certfi-
cate or affidavit you may have pros
cured. Let us see just what it is
and then we will produce some
'proof which will show what little
contemplate fellows think can fool
a sensible people and elect a jail
bird back to Congress.

A LESSON FOR POLITICIANS.

Two Democratic Representative from
New Jersey. named Miles Ross and
Henry S. Harris, joined the River and
Harbor jobbers, in Congress, in appro-
priating the public funds for dishonest
purposes. Each represented district
strongly Democratic. Ross having been
elected two years ago by 5000 major
lty and Harris by 5000. Notwith-
standing the Democratic tidal wave
which swept the country on the
9TH of November both Ross and Harris
were defeated. In the First District
of the same State, George NJ. Robson,
Republican, was elected in 1850 by
.3,45l majority. He was the leader OF
his party in the House of Representa-
tives. and advocated the most extrava-
giant appropriations aud nefarious jobs.
AT the election last week he was de-
feated by decisive majority, his own
county and even the ward where he re-
sides giving a majority against him.
What further proof is required to con-
vince politicians that extravaganza
and corruption caused the over
whelming defeat of the Republicans
last week, than is furnished by New
Jersey, where Ross and Harris, Demo-
Gratis, and Robson, Republican, were
defeated by large majorities because of
their connection with jobbery in Con-
cress
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1882-11-15

greatly reducing the public expenses
both in general and local government.
Such reductions are easily attainable,
and can be secured without friction by
proper administration. The Republican
control has led to extravaganza in every
direction, and the people believe that
those now in power are not equal to the
accomplishment of such a result.
There are many questions vital to the
prosperity of the country that must be
met, and among the number none is Of
more Importance than doing away with
the internal revenue system. As for
myself | am in favor of an absolute
and entire repeal of all such taxation.
The Republicans made a fatal mistake
in not cooperating with the Democrats
at the last session of Congress in secur-
ing the then proposed reduction of
S70,O00.000. Now the whole system
must go. Mr.. Randall proceeded to
show how the Government could raise
the revenue necessary to meet its obi
cations and expenses. He said: 81
do not favor tariff enacted upon the
grounds of protection simply for the
sake of protection, because l douba the
existence of any constitutional warrant
for any such construction or grant of
such power. 1t would manifestly be in
the nature of class legislation. In my
judgment the question of free trade
will not arise practically in this coun-
try during our lives, so long as we con-
tinue to raise revenue by duties on i'm.
ports; therefore a discussion Of that
principle is an absolute waste of time.
There is hardly a man in public life
who advocates it pure and simply.
Nobody wants direct taxation, although
it would bring taxation so near and
constantly before the people, that Con-
gress would hesitate long before it
voted the sums of money it now does,
if not for improper at least for ques-
tionable purposes. Reform in the Civil
Service of the Government is needed,
and an enactment of laws to prevent
enforced assessments ON official salaries,
whether such Office holders are under
Federal, State or municipal control and
authority. l think l can assure the
public that nothing will be done by the
Democratic House which will in any
degree disturb, or even embarrass, the
present business relations and prop
erty."

Two years ago Ben. Carrick, Treas.
urer of Storey County, was found to be
a defaulter to the amount of $2l, 200.
He was tried and convicted of embez-
element and sentenced to State Prison
for three years. Monday the Board Of
Pardons met at Carson and pardoned
Carrick. Governor Kinkead, Chief
Justice Leonard and Attorney General
Murphy voted in favor of it, and JUS
tices Hawley and Belknap against it.
As there are several persons in the
State Prison for stealing less amounts
than Carrick. their friends should bring
their cases at once before the Board of
Pardons, which cannot now consistent
ly refuse to pardon them.

THE IDAHO ELECTION.

7. f. Singiser, Secretary of the Ter
.ritory, has been elected Delegate to
Congress from Idaho by large major
ity. He has only an office seeking
interest in the Territory, having been
appointed Secretary by Hayes during
the latter part of his Administration
for some partisan service rendered by
him in the East. Singiser went into
the contest for Congress to win, and he
succeeded. AS salaried officer of the
Government, he travelled over the Ter
ritory at the public expense, and made
all sorts of promises to secure votes.
In the northern counties he pledged
himself if elected to use his influence to
:annex that section to Washington Ter
iritory, in consideration of the unani-
mous support of it's citizens at the
polls. The people fulfilled their part
oof the agreement. and gave him over
1000 majority, everybody who favored
the annexation scheme voting for him,
regardless of politics. In Eastern
Idaho he promised to use his influence
ito remove the Capital of the Territory
from Boise City to the Wood River
country, and succeeded by this means
an getting large vote in that locality.
If his promises are fulfilled, about 49,
900 square miles of Idaho Territory
will be coded to Washington, and Boise
City will no longer be the Capital of
what is left. This has set the people
of Southwestern Idaho to thinking, and
we are informed by persons who left
Boise and Silver City few days ago
that the sentiment of the people there
as unanimously in favor of annexation
to Nevada. Let us hope that their re-
solves will be carried into execution,
and that 0wyhee and Ada counties will
become part of the State of Nevada.

his formal acceptance of the same. The
fact that he has gone to Geneva, where he
will be met by the committee, carrying with
him large quantity of unfinished business

self in by his hesitation in announcing his
purpose TO resign is very much regretted by
