PENSIONS FOR ALL.

A Probability that All Union Soldiers May
Be Placed on the Pension Roll.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA number of expert
enced legislators have expressed the opinion to
your correspondent during the summer and fall
just passed that the proposition to put on the
pension rolls all soldiers who served in the Union
army during the late war would become law
before year. The question of how much the
pension shall be will probably be more serious
and excite more discussion, they believe, than
that of the propriety of passing the bill. 1t
seems that majority want the pension to be Sc
a month. This, of course, means that pension
of Sc month shall be given to all, and there
shall be no discrimination because of rank-a
brigadier general receiving the same pension as
private, the major the same as captain
This proposition does not look towards an in
reference with invalid pensions, and those on
the pension rolls now will continue to receive the
same benefits that they have in the past, and
there will be the same possibilities of securing
increase, ETC., that there have been. Quite a
number of congressman have indicated that they
will introduce bill early in the session. SO that
it will get up in both branches of Congress in
time to be passed upon. If it ever comes to a
vote there can be no question about its passage.
1t is not political question, and neither party
would want to stand the responsibility of its de-
feat

ADVICE To OFFICE-SEEKER
Don't Come to WashingtO Unless You Hav
More Money than You Want.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 7-"Don't come to Wash
ington for Office; that is. don't come unless you
have lot of money to throw away"
Thus wrote a Democratic congressman to one
of his constituents, few days ago. No truer
doctrine or better advice could have been given
Men coming here for appointment are put in a
way to lose their self-respect quicker, and to
deplete their purse sooner, than were they to go
anywhere else. True by being on the ground
the applicant for Office enhances his chance
for appointment, and frequently acceler-
ates his indorsers in their work for him; but it
is not often that the advantage gained is worth
the trouble spent for it. Then it is so frequent
that the officeseeker is finally completely disap-
pointed and he is so fully demoralized that he
is running great risks in coming here. There
are in Washington now several hundreds of men
who came before the inauguration, and they
have all been here ever since. The immoral in
1uence cast upon them by their associations,
and this continuous suspense and strain of ex-
pectaton, has been almost ruinous, not to men
tion the great financial losses they have incurred.
Congressman say that when a man can afford to
come here, and spend his time and money for a
place, he can afford to do without it, and not in
frequently does the presence of an applicant
retard or defeat his appointment. The President
has number of times given his opinion of men
who come here and hang around for Office, and
that opinion has been very detrimental to the
character of the applicant.

MERRITT'S CAMPAIGN.
Total-Abstinence People Working Harmo-
niousiy with Runners and Heelers.


niously with Bummers and Heelers
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE most curious thing
in the city election this week was the casting of
over five thousand ballots for Stephen Merritt,
famous as the undertaken in the Grant funeral.
He ran for the State Senate on his own nomina-
ton, and with the outcry. ''Wicked Gibbs must
be beaten" His stumping was joke of the
| campaign. The fervid oratory of his exhorters
and the singing of his glee clubs amused many
assemblages but it was not thought that any
votes worth mentioning would result Senator
Gibbs has long been a professional politician,
and his speciality is the investigation of New
York vice. Every year he gets himself made
| chairman of a legislative committee, with full
power to compel testimony. and his merciless
exposures of corrupt alliances between city Of
fcials and the law breakers have caused upheav-
ais from the very bottoms of vice. The current
disclosures of the business relations between the
police, the excise commissioners and the
foul resorts are his work. There is no
high moral tone to Gibbs personally,
but his speciality has been valuable to
the public, and has made him q political power.
That his re election was imperiled was never for
a moment believed. On election day his district
was the scene of astounding scenes. Stephen
Merritts contingent of total abstinence workers
at the polls were joined by hundreds of bum
mers and heelers, who exerted themselves to the
utmost in his behalf. 1t became apparent too,
that big Doodle had been formed in his interest,
and entirely without his knowledge. The ex-
planation is that dozen capitalists. hackers of
the vice that Gibbs had disturbed, had determined
to beat their potent enemy, Gibbs, by aiding their
less dangerous foe, Merritt The spectacle was
therefore presented of rum working hard for a
total abstinence candidate. The excise gang and
the police helped this odd venture all they could
The plot succeeded. Gibbs was defeated. OF
course Merritt was not elected, but his five thou
sand votes served to down Gibbs. The third
candidate, Durham, was ahead in the count.

SHREWD MAMIE STEWART.

Female Thief Who Understood the Weak
nesses of Creations Lords.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE conviction of Mamie
Stewart for stealing diamond from the bosom
OF Edward W. Taylor. Chicago merchant Wis
iting this city, has led to the revelation of Pc
culiarly clever and successful confidence game.
Mamie has gone to prison for three years. She
swore IN court that she was an actress. The
basis OF truth in that assertion lies in the fact
that she had once, for short time sung in a
burlesque chorus. She was a bright, pretty
young woman, with an English accent to her
speech, and coyness in her manners. She invented
the ingenious swindie that has finally sent her
to confinement About six months ago she be-
gan to be seen in the neighborhood of the
theaters IN upper Broadway. Her garb was
very carefully adapted to look careless after the
manner common to many actresses. Her yell
low hair was in a somewhat disheveled bunch at
the back of her head, veil covered her fore
head, and her really fine garments had the ap-
pearance of having been thrown on her shapely
figure She was intended to seem like an actress
on her hasty way from theatrical per-
formance or rehearsal, and to induce

slipping into the vestibule Of theater, only to
emerge again. with quick glance up and down
street. and pretence of being shy of observa-
tion But the man who happened to catch her
eye wassure to get roguish glance, especially
If he was either dude or a solid looking stran-
ger This was Mamie's scheme to take advant-
age of the general desire to fiirt with stage
women Having caught her prey, she would
pluck him under sentimental circumstances In
the case of Taylor she accepted his invitation to
ride through Central Park i'll close carriage
and while there she stole his diamond pin. He
caught her at it, had her arrested, and did not
finch from public prosecution. In all previous
cases she had got off scot free through the
dislike of her dupes to disclose the matter
Her prosperity was so great that half dozen
rivals went to work on the same plan, and bogus
actresses abounded in the neighborhood of the
theaters and hotels, but an investigation of the
field today found not single fair swindler left
in it. Taylor has abolished them

He May Continue in Political Life as a Mem
ber of the Lower House.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINToN, Nov much is said about the
probable political future of Senator Mahone of
Virginia. It is not improbable that he will be
sent to the lower house of Congress, after his
term of Office expires in the Senate Already
his name Is beng mentioned prominently for that
position. His friends insist that he shall con-
tinue his work. in one branch or the other of
Congress, and that he shall not drop out of
sight. The Petersburg district, in which Sena-
ator Malone lives. can be carried by popular
Republican. Colonel Brady, who collector
for the Norfolk port under President Arthur, is
the congressman elect from that district now.
He is an intimate personal friend of Senator
Mahone and it is believed that he will be willing
to give way to the Senator for the purpose Of
continuing his public career. If not, it is not
improbable that Senator Malone will be nom
mated anyway.
Senator William Malone is one of the most
prominent and active characters in public life at
this time. He is one of the most active busi-
ness men, as we'll as politicians, the country has
ever produced. His friends claim that it is not
a selfish ambition that prompts him to WELD an
influence in his State. but that he desires to
bring about revolution in the politics of the
Old Dominion which will do it benefit and con-
tnue as monument to him in the future. Slen-
der and frail in FORM low of stature, feminine
in voice, Senator Malone does not present a
very vigorous appearance. He has vitality
however, that is wonderful, and during the
campaign just closed he has made very heavy
draughts upon it, The reports from his home
at Petersburg, since the Sd, are to the effect
that he is undaunted and full of pluck 1t is
very probable that there will continue to be a
political battle in Virginia as long as the brainy
little Senator lives.
Reports from Virginia say Malone is socially
and politically ruined He has serious thoughts
of leaving Virginia. The feeling against him in
the State is great that he will be socially os-
tracised

TAMMANY,S VICTORY.
A Triumph Which Has AstOnished Local
Politicians of All Varieties.

Politicians of All Varieties.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov 7.-Politcians are astounded
by the victory of Tammany in this weeks elec-
tion, and the whole aspect of municipal politics
is radically changed. The campaign was regard
ed all through as a fight between the Republic
ans and the County Democracy with Tammany
amounting to just enough to even up the chances
as to the two regular party organizations. So
strong was this conviction that Judge Barrett,
being re-nominated to the Supreme Court on all
three tickets, would pay only half the assess
ment to Tammany that he did to each of the
other committees. and that was accepted as fair.
The very hopeessness of Tammany's cause dis
couraged the worser order of its Office seekers,
and the consequence was that. in the absence Of
hot competition for places on the ticket, it was
easy to make unexceptionable nominations. in it's
entire personality, the Tammany ticket was
stronger than that of either Of the others. Now
that it is elected, excepting it's Superior Court
judge, who was hurt by the notion that his con-
nection with Gould law suits indicated that he
would be scrvceable to the elevated railroads
in their immense amount of litigation,
and was besides opposed by union
nominee of the Republicans and County
Democratsl it is easy to find out the reasons.
