from the Congressional Record of March Sth,
1889, vol. 10, part I'd. page 1890, which is as
follows:
"Mr. Warner 10y request) introduced q dill,

discharged, to be in lieu of all other claims;
which was read first and second time.
Mr.. Warner-1 move the reference OF the
bill TO the Committee on Public Lands,
though i am In doubt whether It should go
TO that committee or the Committee on
Military Affairs.
The Speaker-Does 1t grant public lands?
Mr.. relates to public lands.
The Speaker-The Chair understands that
it proposes to give public lands TO officers
and soldiers of the United States who served
in the late war;"

is disabled that is all the question
| ask, let him have his pension; but
where he has never seen any service at
all, and is not disabled, cannot believe
he should be placed upon the same basis
| as the man who had served through the
whole war and is disabled. In that
proposition there is no sensible man, it
seems to be, and certainly no soldier,
who will not agree with me. [Cheers].
| don't believe that the man who enlist
ed at the end OF a war for IA days ought
to be placed on the same footing as the
man who was wounded and disabled and
went through four years OF battle strug-
gle. Shall we adopt such a principle,
and make no difference between the two
classes of men? Shall we grant the same
pension to him who has served only two
weeks-or only enlisted for two weeks
and is not disabled. as we do the man
who has endured four years of war and
as disabled? Where will such princi-
pie lead us? There can be no question

Who Is Which?

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Allow your old friend and classmate to ask few questions and make a few remarks through your valuable paper regarding the political situation
 Whom shall vote for for President of the United States? have been studying politics for number of weeks with all my might and main. I begin about seven o'clock in the morning with your paper, and on the whole like the tone of it and the way you put things. Then about nine o'clock I buy the News-sometimes pay two cents, some times one cent and frequently can get two for cent. Then once in awhile I have a few copies left as samples for nothing This little bit of sheet claims to be independent in politics, religion and everything else They claim to sell more papers or give away more, or both, than ever were turned out of any printing establishment in this world Then most anytime during the afternoon the Union (forever) is hawked about the streets at the lowest market rates, cheering for But Ter, Cleveland and Mrs. Lockwood, just as they happen to feel. The more read this paper the less think of anybody or any thing. As nightfan comes on, when one should be composed and quiet, the Register breaks out from it's palatial factory on Grown street. This sheet gives no uncertain sound, and it is believed that it is an old-fashioned Democratic paper, whether one-quarter of it's readers believe one-quarter it says or not
 From all I can gather from these four pa pers in regard to the presidential candidates James G. Blaine has the inside track and a big lead. He is not unknown in political circles anywhere on the face of this earth where they have politics. He has been a leader of American politics for fourteen years, and nobody ever pretended that he was a thief and liar until after he received the fairest and cleanest nomination at Chica- go that was ever accorded to a man. No one claims that he by word, act or vote while in Congress was entitled to censure but since his nomination the whole sky has been black with Mulligan letters that real ly prove nothing against him.
 Next come the claims of Grover Cleve- land for my vote; and learn that he is sustained by some good and great men both 1n and out of the pulpit, including the Ply mouth and Dwight Place churches He has not dehned his position very much in public but from all can learn he is sound on tbe ''Turn the rascals out" question and on fine subject of "Mormonism.n Ineyer heard fba4 he had any other aims or ideas, but perbaTs he has.
 Judging from reading all of the above named papers, Butler, St. John and Mrs. Lockwood stand about an even chance of be- ing elected The woman's rights dish, filled with cold water and stirred with Butler spoon, may make palatable dose for some together or separate But I will not weary you with any further comments, and if you have no advice to give me under all the cir cumstanees, and if do not hear from you before November 4th, shall take my chances and vote for JAMES AND JOHN.

A Dull Market Hut Better Prices stocks Show An Advance Which Continues To the Close.


 The stock market this morning was dull, and with the exception of New York Central and illinois Cen tral. prices were on the advance almost from the opening. The strength of the list outside of the stocks named was due more to manipulation than other causes. New York Central was pressed for sale and at noon showed a decline of 114 per cent on reports that the negotiations for the lease of West shore by New York Central had fallen through and that the of rates now in progress would be waged unrelentlessly to the bitter end Illinois Cen traI was weak from some unaccountable cause and on small transactions dropped 215 per cent. The rest of the list showed advance at noon of Ii to Is per cent. The market continued dull through out the afternoon The changes were slight and un- interesting. The dealings developed no feature of interest and the close was tame and steady. The majority of the list showed fractional advance compared with last nights prices The specialties were dull, The sales to-day amounted to 11s,o0o shares.
 Money closed easy at 115@2 per cent
