the claim agents 10 members of Con
gress.
1t is surprising to see bow the soldiers
are mislrd and deluded by such papers
as the National Tribuae-a mere sdvef-
tisinq sheet published by claim agent
simply to advertise his business and IN
fuence legislation in his interest. One
would think this agent would be willing
to pay for his advertisements. But be
don't DO business that way. He not
only does not pay for this advertise
ment but actually compels the soldiers
to pay 1t, for no charges them one dollar
piece for his paper! 1t is preposter-
ous that a paper published under such
circumstances should be allowed 10 in
nuence the opinion. of the soldiers on
anv anestion, and when they fully under
stand the situation, do not believe they
will be willing to continue to contribute
to the maintenance of these pension
sharks, who have, in several cases, made
independent fortunes.
A few days ago General Warner took
occasion to openly denounce tue Nation

batteries of the advertising sheet will
now no doubt he opened against him.
These papers speak no good word OF
any man whom they cannot use, and q
complimentary notice from one OF them

Mr.. Hamilton's Mileage.
Quaker City Iuderendent.


The State Journal sits down upon
Representative Hamilton as follows:
"The gentleman from Monroe seems
10 realize that there 10 NO Senatorial ron-
test this winter. He has received S46 90
mileage. 1t ,s l02 miles from this CITY
to Quaker CITY hy the most lihersl route,
and he lives IA miles south OF this place,
making 116 miles. How he jus'ifies COL
lecting Tor 1876 is one nf the things past
ending ont II may he in the arithmetic
OF he schools, hut not in ours. Last
year he sized up the distance the same
way, fret claiming 150 mites and later
45 more. He may have come by way OF
Cleveland"
From Calsis to Columbus, via Bellaire,
1876 miles at "a cents per mile S4s 80.
From Calais to Columbus, via Quaker
City, ll6 miles al "a cents per mile, S27
"a.
From Calais to Columbus, via Sum-
meraeld aud Zanesyille, III miles at "a
cents rer mile. S2S oS.
As Mr.. HAMILTON travelled on free
passes on the railroads aud then charged
full mileage by the longest route, 1t Is
plain to be seen that he was after evars
cent that be could possibly get from the
State Tressnry. The route by Summer
Geld and Zsnesville would have taken
him To Columbus in lhc Same time that
the Bellaire route did and saved SIS 70
to the tax x-payers.
The Democracy OF Monroe have heen
satisfied for eome time that mistake was
made when JAMES H. HAMILTON was
nominated and elected Representative.
The Democrats OF Seneca township in
which be resides. manifested their want
OF confidence. in April, 1884, when they
defeated him for reelection to the Office
of Justice OF the Peace by majority OF
As votes.
Should Mr.. HaMLroN ask q renomi-
nation to the position OF Representative,
he will ascertain exactly the estimation
in which he is held by the Democracy OF
Monroe County. His record in the Leg.
islature is not pointed to with pride by
the honest Democrats OF the Banner
County.

The Briiish troops, on their way to
the relief OF Gen. GoRDoN at Khartoum,
have fought battle and won victory.
hus the London papers do not think the
situation favorable. Their comments on
the 22d inst. were as follows:
The Morning Post says: 1--WE confess
wc cannot visw without apprehension the
advance OF what will remain OF General
Stewards force after an adequate garri.
spn hae been left at Abu- Klea."
The Daily Ne.cs SAYS: "rbe accounts
show that tue Mahdi and his men are
foes not to he despised and that the
march for the relief Of Khartoum q nd
holiday work, for it has been held q little
too cheap"
The Daily Telegraph says there Is Oh
viously probability that the relief o.
Kharioum is not to be accomplished oJ
q battle and march.
The Standard concludes an editoria
thus: "In view of the bravery OF tb'
Mahdi's troops It is impossible not te
feel anxiety for the course Of future op
erations."

The Postal Currency.
Ben: Perley Poore.

Postal currency. which was the 'change'
during the war and until the resumption
OF specie payments, was the Invention
Of Gen. Spinner, who has represented
the Syracuse district OF New York in
congress, and had heen appointed treas
urer OF the United States by President
Lincoln. Small change bad vanished
and in buying dinner in The market
change had to be taken in beets, cab
hage, potatoes aud what not. Gen.
Spinner was constantly appealed to from
all quarters to do something to supply
the demand for small change. He had
no Law under which he could act, but
after huying q half-dolIar's worth OF ao-
pies several times and receiving for hi'
half.dollsr in change more or less di'-
ferent kinds OF produce, be began 70
cast around for q substitute for small
change.
In h,s d,lemma he bethought himself
Of the postage stamp. He sent down to
the po-toffice department and purchased
quantity of stamps He then ordered
up package of the paper upon which
government securities we're printed. h
cut the paper into various sizes. On the
pieces he pasted stamps to represent diff

THREE TREATIES,
And What Is Likely to be Done with
Them In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 The people
who are opposed to the Spanish treaty
have apparently pooled their issues with
those opposed to the Nlcarsquan and
Mexican treaties, and are making every
effort to defeat all three of them. OnN
OF the most formidable weapons OF the
opposition il the reports in circulation
that the friends OF the treaties have q
big lobby at work in their interest. In
this way it is sought 10 throw su.picon
around them and thus scare OF some
Senators Who would otherwise support
one or all Of the tresties into voting
agsinst them for fear OF heing charged
with being influenced. To make the case
stronger, the names Of several New
Yorkers are freely mentioned as heing
me embers of tbi- alleged lobby. and some
dinners which have lately been given bv
them at one Of the uptown cafes to
Senators are pointed to as confirmation
OF the stories. Whether these aeser
lions rest upon anything substantial is
doubted although it is not doubted thai
strong pressure has been brought to bear
from some quarter upon Senators op-
posed to the Spanish and the Nlcaraguan
tresties. There appears to be no con-
,rsdict:on OF the sta ement tnat twenty
or twenty FIVE thousand dollars have
heen raised in Havana in the hore OF in
fuencing the action OF the Senate on the
Spanish treaty and to secure the favor
abie attitude Of leading journals in the
United States. Such a fact as this, how
ever, creates. nothing but intense anuse

of the Cnbsns in expecting al accom-

The Spanish treaty stands the best
chance. and from present indications will
be ratified Friends of the Nicaraguan
treaty are very sanguine of success.
The Mexican treaty. in view OF the
rapid growth OF business intercourse
between that country and our own. would
seem to require more speedy action than
either Of the other two. The beneflls

Spanish treaty, however, will he grest
