The unlimited power over life
in land monopoly has been APPLY
illustrated by q grea. writer wher
raising this question, to wit: Sup.
pose one man owned all the land
on the continent, another man
owned all the money, in legal
parlance the land owner gives the
money owner "no;ice to quiz =
the question is, where would he
got Not into the ground, for
that is the properly Of the land
lord. Into the ocean then he must
60, or commit suicide some other
way and 60 straight to heaven, or
so to Europe. Money then is
impotent against the despotism of
land ownership. Land ownership
practically is life ownership, for
no one can live in the ocean or air.
Land is the source Of life for it is
the source of subsistence. No
subsistence, no life follows of
necessity If society has the
power, has it the right to parcel

Of subsistence to the few, giving
them the power Of life over the

Important to Soldiers

Second Comptroller Maynard has
made a decision in the case OF the
claims OF soldiers for arrears OF pay
and bounty who have been honorably
discharged, but who are charged
uron the military records with
desertion. He says that in q case
where a soldier has been martiaied
on the rolls and reported as q de-
serter, and it appears that within q
reasonable time thereafter, and
while the war was still progressing
and the army engaged in close hos
tilities against the enemy, he volun-
tarily returned to his company and
regiment and was unco nationally
received into the service or was re-
ceived on conditions which have
been fulfilled, not involving q for
fixture OF his allowances, and he
subsequently, rendered faithful and
acceptable military service, and was
honorably discharged, it will be
held that the presumption that he
was deserter, which the entry
upon the military records and rolls
might create, will be deemed to be
conclusively rebutted and over
thrown. In such case the soldier is
to be treated as absent without leave.
The practice Of the second comp
troller's Office in adjusting the pay
and allowances due discharged
soldiers will hereafter conform to
the above rules.
This seems to be in the line of
common sense and sound reason
and we are glad that comptroller
Maynard had the hard democratic
sense to make this decision. There's
another republican ruling which
is in violation of every rule of
evidence that should be ovcrrnlcd
Immediately and that is the one re-
quiring a man who had enlisted
and rendered faithful military duty
to furnish evidence that he was in
good bodily health when he enter
ed the service. At the time Of en-
listment every soldier was subject
to examination by surgeon chosen
by the government and who was
its representative and agent, and
his acceptance of the enlisted man
as sound and fit for military duty
ought to estop all inquiry upon
that point. The presumption of
law is in favor of the soldier, but
BY the action q the department
every man applying for pension has
been compelled to furnish the
administration the very evidence
its examining surgeons were APP
pointed to ascertain, j. c. that the
enlisted man was sound and physi
cally tit for military duty.

James A. Garfield was an able
man and clear-headed politician
lie war a vigorous partizaH and
nanv Of his acts challenge IL
admiration from Democrats and
Greenbackers, but his death at the
hands Of an assassin, was rccog-
nized as national calamity and
mourned by the whole nation,
irrespective Of party. 1t is strange
that in the state where lie was %
popular there should now be 50
little inclination among Repuu'
licans to honor his memory o.
profit by his better teachings. In
ISIS Mr.. Garfield, upon the floor
Of the house Of representatives
said:
1.-The man who attempts to gel
up a political excitement in this
country on The old sectional issues
will find himself without part,
and without support. The man
who wants to serve his country
must put himself in the line q
its leading thought, and that is the
restoration Of business. trade
commerce, industry and sound
political economy
Had the men WHO ayatted the
Ohio Republican platform espec-
tally desired to bring their fallen
chieftain into contempt they
could not have labored more eff
fectually. The platform embodies
what Garfield condemned and
ignores what he commended. The
Ohio Republicans are Blaine Re
publicans, not Garfield Repnbli
cans.-~[Es.
And the same applies equally
strong to Iowa Republicans.

Fusion i'm Iowa.

IL is u little singular that any
democrat should object to the Green
back fusion in Iowa. The Chicago
Herald, which Is an Independent,
paper with democratic tendencies
objects to it because it has no pa.
thence with Greenbackers, and
doesn't believe it right to give them
countenance in any shape or form
The Omaha Herald, which is .
straight-out Democratic newspaper
and thoroughly indoctrinated with
JAcKsoNIAN and JEFFERsoNIAN prin-
ciples, objects to fusion upon princi-
pie. It doesn't believe that any good
was ever accomplished by fusion or
ever will be. It should be remem-
bered, however, that the views held
by the Greenbackers can never be
made to conform with Republican
notions. II the Greenbackers do
not act with the Democrats, they
must continue to stand out as an
independent organization. As an
organization distinct from Demo-
Gratis and republicans they cannot
hope to accomplish much in the
canvass. opposition to monopoly
Is the fundamental principle of the
Greenback party. 1t was organized
upon this idea. The convictions
which it was formed few years ago
to enforce are more generally enter
tanned now than they ever were
before, and yet there is less OF dis
position shown by the average
voter to acce pt them as reasons why
he should forsake his regular party
affiliations. The very success Of
the anti-monopoly ideas is what has
proved fatal to the organization
that did the missionary work OF diff.
fusing them. The Greenback party
was organized as a protest against
the methods OF the Republican par
ty. It was principally made up Of
who revolted against
the monopolistic tendencies OF their
own party and OF Democrats who de-
SPARED OF their party ever coming
into power. There was far more
fear On the part Of Democrats be-
Greenbackers, that the Dem
ocratic party would not antagonize
the monopolists, than that it would
fail to come in power again. Green
hackers are willing to accept what
they demand from any party that
has the honesty and the courage to
grant the people their rights. EDIroR
