"Maiicious SANDERS"


There appears to be some opposition to
the confirmation Of Mr.. Lamb as district
attorney. The opposition is said to be
mainly, II not entirely, the outgrowth of
the private griefs OF some of his political
friends in his congressional district. 1t is
not probable that the Senate will consider or
investigate personal quarrels and malicious
rejection of presidential appointees. Since
Mr.. Lamb took charge Of his office there
has been held one term Of the federal court,
at which he represented the Uuited States
In several cases, and his conduct and man
agement Of these cases has been highly
commended by gentlemen Of the par OF all
political opinions. Mr.. Lamb is no doubt
as good lawyer and as clever gentleman
as Democratic administration will give us
in Indiana, and the journal has heard no
very good reason why he should not be con
flrmed.

YESTERDAY was the seventy-sixth ami
versary of the birth of William Ewart Glad
stone, and the venerable statesman was the
recipient of congratulations from hosts of
friends in all parts of the world. The
London Times, with its accustomed
brutality, broke in upon the pleasant chorus
of kindly greetings with suggestion that
the mental powers of the veteran were less
strong than they used to be. 1t is not prob
able that there is newspaper in the United
States capable OF such display of eX-
ecrable taste and damnable temper.

IT is noted as singular and suggestive
fact anent the great Chicago billiard
match that no one of the distinguished
competitors could prove his superiority as
long as crowds flocked to witness the
games, but as soon as the audiences be-
came small and the interest tagged, causing
falling off in the box receipts, Mr..
Schaefer was allowed to establish his claim
to the championship. We suspect that Il
great debate in Congress might be cut short
by similar process-gloomy rows of empty
benches In the galleries.

THE Army and Navy Register states that
the February number of the United Service
Magazine will contain an article by "a
Civilian" supposed to be the late Secretary

that the new article will treat of the plan
for recognizing the Navy Department mot

To Exterminate Bad IndInns.

A committee consisting of Senator Mander.
son and Representatives Springer and Laird
called at the War Department yesterday morn
ing and had long interview with Secretary
Endicott in relation to the Indian troubles in
the southwest. The congressman informed
trCduce bill as soon after the reassemblng of
Congress as possible providing for the organ.
Zation OF body of troops, to be composed of
cowboys and frOntiorsmen and to be COM
manded by army officers. It is thought that
such troops will be able to hunt the murderous
Apathos successfully and eXtermlnate them.
The Secretary approved Of the project and
promised to do everything in his power in the
matter.
During the progress of the conversation,
which lasted an hour, allusion was made to
Gen. Crooks record
Mr.. Springer read to the Secretary letter he
had received from Judge Barnes, of the first
judicial district of Arizona discussing the situ.
alton and setting forth the views Of Intelligent
men of the locality as TO the best remedy.
This inbrief was for the government to raise
battalion OF irontiersmen, to be lightly
equipped, whose duty II should be TO patrol
the region in small parties, especially keeping
in view the watering places. It was possible
for the Indians to move more rapidly than
white troops could by riding their ponies until
they dropped from exhaustion and then steal
ing others, but they must reach the watering
places from time to time or perish themselves.
Judge Barnes also proposed the arming aud
enlistment Of a body OF papago Indians, a
friendly, industrious race-who are as much
annoyed by the renegade Apaches us are the
whites--to fight the enemy.
The Secretary said, in reference to this plan,
that the army was already doing much OF the
| service proposed. Gen. Sheridan had been
sent out 10 the scene of the disturbances and
| Gen. Crook, In whom they all had confidence,
| was In command. II these could not subdue
| the hOstlCs none could.
Mr.. Springer said he did not know Gen.
| Crook, and had nothing against him. but judg.
| ing him merely by results he was a failure.
| The renegades did not number .more than 200
| men. Crook with 5000 or 1000 men at COM
| mand had been hunting them for years, and
had not succeeded in puttinga stop to the out.
| RACES.
| Senator Manderson came to Gen. Crook $
defense at,ributing his skill and ability TO the

The bill referred to will be introduced by
| Congressman Laird of Nebraska.

THE BURNETT DECISION.
Its True Relation to Other Pension
Cases Explained.


The pension bureau is In receipt of thou
sands of letters from all parts of the country
indicating tho existence of q widespread, but
erroneous impression that the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court in the case of Mrs. Hat
tic A. Burnett vs. the United States would
bring about an almost total change in tho rates
OF pension allowed TO widows OF soldiers of the
late war. The decision, which was rendered
by Justice Harlan, on the contrary, sustalns the
practice of the pension Office. Mrs. Burnett's
husband, Gen. Ward II. Burnett, was allowed
pension of sI2 per month by special net of
Congress on account of his totally helpless
condition due to wounds received during the
Mexican war. The widow was allowed
pension of $50 In accordance with the provis-
Ions of the. general law. She, however, ap.
pealed TO the court of claims, claiming the
same amount per month that her husband had
received. The court in its decision used this
language "Ihe widow becomes entitled to
pension. not necessarily at the same rate her
husband was entitled to, but the rate he
were, founded upon what in the. pen
sion law Is technically called total disabil.
ity.' The decree of disability by which his
pension was rated makes no difference with
the widows right. After death all degrees OF
disability are considered by law as one and
the same to wit, total disability? and the
rate of pension given to that grade becomes
the rate OF pension for the widow. The pen
sionSto living soldiers are graded according to
labor. When the disability is total, $50 a
month is given as an equivalent. A pension
Of $50 a month, the supposed equivalent for

by the Navy Department to have another dock
trial of the Puritan, which has been completed

that dock trial was made at Chester, where
the vessel now lies and she was accepted by
