A Grand Army Post Against Grant
Pension.


A Washington special to the New
York Sun, dated June End says: The
various posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic have been engaged for several
months in preparing and sending to Con-
gress. petitions in regard to pension,
bounty, and back pay legislation. These
petitions have been remarkably uniform
in tone, being mainly devoted to urging
the passage of the pending measures de-
signed to increase the gratuities to those
who served in the Union army or navy
during,the civil war. But Coleman As
bury Post of Ohio has made a striking
variation in the general style of Grand
Army memorial. It forwarded to the
House of Representatives, the other day,
the following preamble and resolutions,
which its members had Just adopted
"Whereas, The Senate of the United
States has passed a resolution to place
Gen U. S. Grant on the retired list of
the army, with full rank and pay of Gen
eral of the Army;
And whereas, The said Gen. Grant has
been highly honored by the people of the
United States, insOmuch that he has been
| twice elected to the honored position of
President of the United Stases, for which
services as President Gen. Grant received
the magnificent sum of $500, 900;
And whereas, The wealthy an gener-
ously disposed citizens of the cities of
New York and Philadelphia have sub
scribed and placed in trust a furthur
magnificent sum of $3.50, 900 for the ben
eft of said Gen. Grant, from which he
receives an annual income of over $15.-
900;
And whereas, The said Gen. Grant re-
tired from the army of his own free will,
and in perfect soundness of body and
health therefore be it
Resolved, that we hereby offer our re-
monstrance against the passage of said
bill, and condemn the action of each and
every Senator who voted for it, be he
Democrat or Republican"
The motive which urged these ex-sol-
diers of the State in which Gen. Grant
was born to take this action appears from
a subsequent resolution, that the passage
of the bill would be an Outrage upon
the memory of those gallant comrades
who fell in the front, and whose widows
are to-day eking out a miserable exis-
tence on the beggarly sum of IS per
month, and upon his ruined and crippled
comrades whose small pensions are no
just compensation for the loss they have
sustained" The project is also declared
to be an suffrage upon all those thousands
of soldiers "who, through the exposure
incident to camp and army life, received
disabling and permanent injuries to
health and happiness" and are now
drawing pensions ranging from two to
six dollars a month for disabilities, and
he many thousands who, having like

The young people had musical enter

were favored also with some comic reCi-

The three buildings destroyed Wed
nesday night were the property of H.
w. Kicker, and his loss will be consid-
cradle, as there was only 81, 900 insurance
which was with the Liverpool and Lon
don and Globe company.
Lassetter and Schelosky's stock and
fixtures we learn were valued at about
81 800 which was total loss, on which
they had an insurance of 5000, in the
Sprinafeld Fire and Marine Insurance
Company. The8 loss falls peculiarly
hard on these young men just at this
time, as they were just getting their
business firmly established, and had
built up a fine trade.
There was some talk on the streets yes
terday to the effect that the fire was the
work of an inccndiary. The gentleman
first in the bakery where the fire Origi-
mated, says that kerosine oil appeared
to be over everything, and that the tiIe
made remarkably rapid progress.
The rapidity with which these build
ings burned and the narrow escape of
the building just across the street, occu-
pied by Il. w. Green, clearly demon
strates how helpless we would be in the
event of fire in the more thickly pop
ulated portion of the city. Had there
been any wind blowing Wednesday
night there is no telling wherethe flames
would have been checked as there was
only enough water available to save the
| threatened buildings.

How 1t Looks to an Outsider.


We have been enabled to print Mr..
Kinds reputation of Brother Joe" and
all his works. The following is from a
prominent gentleman who lives in the
same neighborhood, but belongs to nei-
Their party; so he is really an outsider, -
and he is not a coward, for he is willing
to sign his full name whenever required,
We thank him for his appreciation of
the fact that we wish at all times to keep
our hands out of such filthy things as
Adams:
IF you were as some men are should
expect you to talk back to Mr.. S. A.
Adams; may be to cuff his ears should
you meet him; but, knowing you, l can
imagine how you grin over it and how
you would fat up if there was any posi-
bility of your laying on fat under any
circumstances.

According to the call of the Executive
Committee of Put nam county. the Con-
sentative Democratic primary of Pre-
cinct No. s was call ed TO order on June
9Th at - p. M, by B. P. Calhoun, Chair
man of the Club, with BENZ. Harrison as
Secretary. The call was read by the
Chairman, who explain ned the purpose of
the meeting to be the el 9ctiOn of thirteen
delegates to the County Convention for
June 18th, 1894, and the organization of
a campaign club for the nsuing year.
Judge Wigg, seconded by Mr.. ellis,
moved that the present or organization be
made permanent. Judge Roberts nOmi-
mated E. NJ Vary, Esq, fer Chairman.
The temporary organization was then
made permanent by motion of Capt B. F.
McGraw, and the convention then pro-
ceeded to the election of Il irteen dele
gates and thirteen alterna ties to the
County Convention. Judge Roberts,
seconded by Mr., ellis, moved that the
vote be taken byyballot the thirteen re
ceiving the highest number of votes to
| be delegates and the thirteen next high
| est to be alternates. Amended on mo-
| ton of Mr.. ellis that the ballot may be
either written or printed. On motion of
! Senator Grill, it was ordered that two
| tellers be appointed.

| There had been bets offered and threats
made that none but Drew delegates
should be sent to the convention. Print

| and complaints against their use made
| by Judge Wigg, Judge Roberts and 9th
ers. These were so extensively scratch
ed" that we are unable to say whether
the Drew men gained their object or not.
The valid protest against the "slate' was
| that the country voters were altogether
without representation thereon. The at
tendance was so slender that any half
dozen men with a preconceived purpose
would nave little difficulty in effecting
any object not inconsistent with Demo
cratic principles. The representatives OF
the farmers in our precinct left in deeI
disgust, avowing the intention of hold
| ing a primary of their own.

The Pioneer Press figures out that q
bushel of wheat at 80 cents is worth as
much for the practical purpose OF ex-
change in 1884, as bushel of wheat at
81 was worth in 1882. There has been,
it says, general and quite:uniform de-
cline of prices within the last two
years, beginning and showing itself
most plainly in articles made from
iron, but extending to almost all man
ufactured products and articles OF do
nestle production and consumption.
Taking the articles in most common
use among farmers, lumber has fallen
20 to rs per cent, hardware 25 to 80,
clothing Is to 20. groceries 10 to 315,
farm machinery 20, fuel 10, and freight
rates 5 to 10 per cent. The average re-
duction in articles of domestic con-
sumption is at least equal to the 20 per
cent by which wheat has fallen. and it
is accurate statement of simple fact
to say that bushel Of wheat can be ex-
changed for as much of everything the
producer needs as it could two years
ago. Besides, the general compensa-
ton for the American agricultural. the
farmer of Minnesota has the positive
gain of notable increased yield.
