The Pension Bill and Pension
EaoG

The pension appropriation bill now
before Congress appropriates over $751;
900, 900 for the next fiscal year. 1t is to
be hoped that a proposed amendment
will prevail repeating the ridiculous
statute that limits the fee of an attorney
in pension case to ten dollars. Many
of these cases involve as much labor anu
research as any class of litigation that
comes before the courts, and the result
of this. Limitation in the way of fees is to
deter respectable attorneys from taking
charge Of intricate cases, and thus throw
ing them into the hands of class of
scamps who collect the ten dollars in
advance and then permit the claims to
hang fire indefinitely. There are N ~
worthy applicants who have fully twenty
years Of arrears Of pensions" due them,
who are suffering for the actual necessi-
ties of life while countless fraudulent
have been granted. II
these people were permitted to pay de-
cent contingent fees they would in many
instances soon obtain what is due them

IT is said that an immense emil
grafton is now going on from Canada
One hundred day are reported as
leaving Montreal for the manutac
turing towns of New England. New
England fayors a protective tariff on
almost everything except labor-she
wants free trade in that; she is con
tinually pleading for protection on
the score that it maintains healthy
rates of wages, and yet she is forever
importing cheaper laborers to sup
plant the native stock.
Twenty-Five years ago almost all
of the employees Of the New England
mills were New England men, women
and children, but to day most of
them are natives of other lands.
Whenever New England wages
exceed those of foreign countries, the
laborers Of Old England and the
continent come over to reap the har-
vest.

JUSTICE Field,of the U. S. Supreme
Court, is not a candidate for the
Presidency, for the reason that com
plioations in his own State, Califor-
MIA, render it reasonably certain that
he cannot be presented to the Con-
vention by that delegation. Though
not candidate Judge Field will ao-
cept the nomination of the Democrat
ic Convention if rendered to him,and
there are rumors to the effect that an
active campaign in his interest is be-
ing quietly but effectively carried on
in Ohio, Kansas, Nevada, Oregon
Missouri and several other States. II
it should happen that the California
delegation harmonizes in his favor
and presents his name to the Conven,
ton, he will be very formidable
candidate for the first prize at Chi
cago.

EDITORIAL MATTER,
From Tri-we ekly issues Mon day nd Frda
Hon. ii. l.. MuldrOw Not a Cantii-
date.

Hon. HENRY L MULDRow, our faith
ful and indefatigable Representative
in Congress, has written the follow.
ing letter to his home paper, the
StarkuiUe Citizen:
80 q In the last issue your paper
pays me a high compliment in plac
ing my name at the head OF its col
umns as expressive of your choice
in the matter of the Congressional
nomination ip the First District. As
it is at present my intention not to
be candidate for e-election, it is
due to those who favor me that /
should embrace this opportunity to
so inform them, in order that they
may be unembarrassed in their ac-
tion. "
This announcement on the part OF
Col. Muldrow will be received with
genuine regret by the citizens of the
First District, for they have found
in him during all the years of service
he has given to his people, a tireless
worker for the best interests of the
District; the State; the country; and
the party whose commission he bears.
Commanding the warm friendship
and confidence of those of his own
political faith in Congress, he has at
the same time always enjoyed the
respect and esteem of his political
adversaries, and there is to-day no
man in the House of Representatives
whose influence is more potent for
the accomplishment of those objects
that interest constituency, either
in the Lalls of Congress or at the
Departments, than the gentleman
whose determination to retire from
public life is the subject of these re-
marks.
The District is rich in Congress -
sional material, but the prestige and
experience that must be surrendered
when change is made, will be a
heavy loss to tho State and the party;
and more particularly to constitu-
ency that has found him in all things
ready, willing, able, and faithful. and
that needs his clear head, honest zeal
and unquestionable influence in the
House, even more in the future than
in the past.

GEN. G. H.Grosvenor,a well-known

arrears of pension, amounting to

not entitled to it. This is believed

Ohio man refusing anything. Co

The funniest thing about this is
that Gen. Grosveuor could not pos~

to the circumstance that he is work.

Hicks Pasha, an Ex7 x7COnfederate.

Hicks Pasha, who with his COM
mand was cruelty mastered by the
forces of El Mahdi, in the Soudan,
last winter, was named G. Carroll
Hicks, and was native of Georgia.
He was a graduate Of the naval ac-
cademy and during the war was an
officer in the Confederate navy, and
was at one time captured and SEN
fenced to death at Brooklyn for
piracy, but the sentence was revoked
when it was found that the Confede
rate Government would retaliate if
if its naval officers when captured
were not treated like all other pris-
oners of war. After the war he at
tempted to make living as an actor
but failed; then he became a COM
mercial traveller; then became an
officer in the Spanish army where he
distinguished himself; then he enter
ed the Turkish service and fought
gallantly through the Turco-Russian
war; then he returned to this country
but shortly afterwards departed for
Egypt where he received his title and
high rank, and in which service he
died in command Of an army of cow
ardly creatures in the Soudan.
He was also an officer under Carl
baldi in the italian army, and ac-
companied Walker in his Nicaragua
expedition. His life if ever written
will be as romantic as any novel
could be.

No respecter Of the rights of States;
no man who is inbued with true Democ-
racy, will ever raise his voice to ask
Congressional investigation Of the scenes
OF murder and arson that were enacted
in Cincinnati few days ago. To be
sure the laws were trampled in the dust;
the mob possessed the streets and defied
the authorities for days; the militia shot
into the crowd and the crowd pelted the
militia with missiles, but the affair was n
local concern of a sovereign State, and
until State appeals to Congress or the
Executive for aid her soil is sacred
against intrusion, and the Government
is bound to take it for granted that she
is capable of regulating her own affairs
and melting out rewards and punish
ments to those who deserve them.

IT is said Of the Mennonites in Me-

of their farms they feed to their pigs,
and what the pigs wont eat, they eat
themselves. There's oodles of
money in this style of farming but
the Examiner is not prescribing 1t to
it's readers. All we want is that our

raise everything on the farm that
will afford healthy and necessary

that they feed it out as generously
as circumstances will admit of,always
taking care to make a surplus fol
sale to nom producers.

A crank was arrested by the police
in the grounds Of the White House,
last week, who claimed to be the
slayer of Lincoln, and who said that
he was on his way to see President
Arthur for the purpose of COMPEL
ing him to pay him million OF dol
lars that were due him. Washington
City is the favorite haunt of the
cranks. They gather there from all
portions of the Union, and while
some of them are perfectly harmless
there are doubtless many who would
play the part of Guiteau if opportu-
nifty offered. We have but little
doubt but that detectives are always
on the look out for these creatures
IN the vicinity of the White House

JOlinG. Fremont.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate by Sherman and in the House
by Dorsheimer, retiring Gen. John
G. Fremont with the rank of Major
General. The last time Fremont
was retired was in the valley Of Vlr-
ginia; Stonewall Jackson presided on
that occasion.
Fremont is said to be very poor,
and inasmuch is he is q South Caroli-
nian by birth; and son iIra of
old Tom Benton, Of Missouri; and
made his noted Rocky Mountain ex-
plorations under orders from Secre~
tary of War Jefferson Davis, of Mis-

has ever made since; and is old and

From one end OF Mississippi to the
other, and everywhere within her bounds
the grape dourishes grandly and yields
prodigiously. All over the State, in
every county, there are beautiful vines
yards, and in every county wine is made
of some degree of excellence while in
cases that We could name if we cared to
be inyidious the vintage is equal to that
of any land with whose wines we are
familiar. Every one of these vineyards
should send sample of its products
neatly bottled and labeled to the Mis-

prove that while we can beat the world
