Six years ago, Eli Johnson, California man,
applied for pension and arrearages Thinking
the application was unnecessarily delayed in its
winding way, he requested his congressman to
try and expedite his case. On investigation
this gentleman found an application for the
same pension put in by woman who claimed to
be Johnsons widow. Further inquiry proved
that her claims were correct in so far that she
was Johnsons wife, though not his widow.
While he in the army she had lived in
Ohio, and had received what she regarded as
authentic information of his death. On his
discharge johnson had not been able to find his
wife, and for eighteen years had believed her
dead also. The matter is somewhat complicated
by the fact that about three years ago Mrs
johnson married another man. Mr., Johnson
wants his wife again, but the reunion is not
matter of course. The wife may conclude to
wait until he gets his pension and nobody, of
course. knows how many years that will be.

WHAT WILL ELECT THEM.

The Chicago Current does not like the
nomination OF Blaine and Logan, but that
critical journal has the wisdom to see that
there is an element of strength in their
selection which those who are SO bitterly
opposing them generally either ignore or
fail to discover. This is, to put it briefly,
the essence of inconquerable American
ism II is an element Of political
strength, we hold, that has been quiescent
a long time, but which gave evidence of
abnormal quickening in the womb
of events thirty years ago, 1t has
since been born into conservative
life, and is now an essential and vigorous
power In Blaine it finds 4 representative
His nomination gives it standing place, the
opportunity to manifest its faith and hope,
and it is so forceful that no personal as
saults upon the character of the nominee
Will prevail against it. Blaine and Logan
represent a patriotism that has not been
felt in any previous nomination since Lin
coins time, They represent the crystal
hzauon of distinctiyely American ideas
that give promise of a diStinctiyely Ameri-
can policy. This, we are told, may be dan
gsrously aggressive in its hot affirmative
ness. We do not believe it. Power is the
mother of conservatism. The American
idea is not a combative one-it is rather
aggressive only in demand, backed by
q disposition to defend it when
absolute necessity presents. 1t IS not
in the nature of things that a republic
should be aggressive in the sense Of a war
breeder for enlargement of territorial area
at home Of comprising new acquisitions
abroad, nor yet of tomenting strife between
peoples. But it is Of the type of combativc-
ness that insists upon its rights and prerog-
ativcs and dignitics to the extent of enforc-
ing them in the clash Of arms if diplomacy
fails. Blaine and Logan, as thoughtful
students of the times must see, sink. indi-
yidually, out of sight in the presence Of the
growth of American sentiment. which in
lis present manifestations indicates reform
of the naturalization laws strengthening

walked away $50, 600 better of than when he
arrived in the country. The press certainly
treated him with courteous consideration.
II presented his thoughts" TO a larger
clientage than they ever before had, and
most of the criticism of him INDUCED in
was respectful to the apostle of sweetness
and light" For the lie of us we cannot
understand what more the American peo-
pie could have done They manifested
their material appreciation of Arnold
through the only means afforded them
the purchase of tickets for his lectures de-
livered as a business scheme. 1t is dem
onstrable that the reports of Mr.. Arnolds
addresses were widely and appreciatively
read If his philosophy did not in all re-
spects meet with ardent and dcmOnstrative
approval from the eminently practical peo-
pie of America it is no proof of the narrow
ness of their intellectual part. They
probably did fail to see how they
could apply all the fne-spun and idealic
theories of the apostle" to their every -day
needs. They are altogether too busy a peo-
pie to % Toll - and theorize the whole time
upon the possibilities of the remnant" in
the work of saving mankind from the
" majority" The duties that devolve upon
Americans in promoting real progress, and
the upbuilding of great nation, do not
afford them leisure to become "apostles
also. But they listened to Mr.. Arnold !;
they took into their hearts what he had to
say worthy of the enshrinement, and they
will neither forget nor ignore whatsoever in
his teachings was forceful enough TO make
lodgment. But there was much in Mr..
Arnold's preaching" that the American
people did decline TO accept not because
they did not fully understand him, but be-
cause they do not estimate as does he the
practicableness of his theories. Mr.. Bascom
must have had a bad breakfast when he
was led to charge retrogression, intellectual
.decadence and general degeneracy of civil
ization upon the American people because
they have not thrown asideall else and fol-
lowed after the new apostle

4 DYSPEPTIC GRUMBLER.

Very evidently President Bascom, of the
University Of Wisconsin, is dyspeptic. Ac-
cording to the St Louis Globe Democrat in
a recent address delivered before the Kansas
University, DIR. Bascom, with great deal
of asperity, declared that this people are
not progressing have not advanced, and
that Intellectually they have refrigerated,
and are in anything but desirable state
All this because, according to the sophie
moric dyspeptic, Mr.. Mathew Arnold's
neck was not fallen upon and American
tears of joyful appreciation rained down
his spinal column. The thing is absurd.
This people fully appreciated Mr.. Arnold
They gave him larger audiences than he
ever had in England; they paid the price
for his show" without grunbling, and he

IT is gratifying to know with certainty
that the fears of agriculturists oyer-esti-
mated the damage to the crops in Califor-
MIA by the recent phenomenal rains. There
has been damage done, and in individual
cases it works 4 serious hardship, but so
far as the whole crop yield is concerned
it has not been severe blow. While the
hay crop was badly damaged, and much
grain beaten down. there has been some
compensation by reason Of the unusual
precipitation of water. The real damage
was not nearly so great as anticipated.
Summerfallow grain suffered most, but
late grain, in the vast majority Of cases,
was benefited. Close estimates by experts
show that in total yield the State will not
nave suffered by the close of the season TO
any material extent.

WE have gone over with care and cool
consideration chosen extracts from some
ten or fifteen papers opposing Blaine and
Logan, as the excerpts are presented by the
New York Herald and New York Post
The purpose was to discover, if possible
why these recalcitrant Republican and
growing independent journals object.
We confess to inability to ascertain " the
reason why" There, is outside the Ar
kansas Railroad " charge, nothing tangible
presented. 1t appears to be a general
growl, and the chief reason thus far pre-
sented is that the evil elements are repre-
scented by Mr. Rlaine The bad side of the
party is put uppemost in his nomination.
The base side Of politics is given approval
by his choice Honestly this is the sum
and substance of the concentrations, unac-
companied by reasons for them or proofs Of
their verify. In short, hewhole list of OBJ
jectors in all they say impress the impartial
reader as being simply sorehcaded mulish,
and politically bilious.

no policy TO present, but have been content with
mere opposition to the Republicans. They have

THE PEOPLES CHANCE.

The San Francisco CdH referring to the
nomination of an undesirable candidate by
Democratic Convention says, " the people
have a chance at the polls" \ mistake
The people do not have chance" at the
polls, except there is nominated on the
other side an unexceptionable candidate.
This idea of righting things at the polls is
moonshine. The place TO right things is
in the beginning of politics, and govern
ment begins where political management
commences, to wit, at the ward meeting,
the township or district party caucus and
the convention. If the citizens want right
doing and fair dealing and representative
candidates, they must not leave the work
representing nominees in the hands of the
vicious element. At the polls, very fire.
quently, it is Hobson's choice. The Cal
should amend its sentence to read: The
people have a chance at the primary that
selects delegates to the Convention" That
chance unayailed Of the voter has no rca-
son TO complain if the bosses" on both
sides put up men between whom micro
scope will not disclose the difference aside
from mere partisanShip. The voters who
are so worked up for instance, about
Sumner being ignored by the Democracy
are to blame for putting it in the power Of
a vicions ring to defeat their will.
