A POINT WELL MADE.

Getting Into the Army in Sixteen Minutes
and Waiting Sixteen Years for Pension.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
which members of Congress receive from their
soldier constituents show that some of the old
fellows who fought for their country, while hav-
ing no very great amount of book larnin', !"
have some extremely bright ideas occasionally,
and that they possess the ability to put them
into shape so that they can be understood A
letter recently received by an Iowa member is a
case in point An old soldier somewhere in the
northeastern portion of the State who has been
trying for years and years to get his pension
claim allowed, gets in very good fling at the red
tape and delay which seems necessary in the
transaction Of all government business. He
says very emphatically: "If the United States
had been as slow in examining into the physical
condition of US fellows when the war broke out,
in 1861, as it is to-day in examining our condi-
tion when we ask for a pension, the country
would have gone to hell long ago." The old
soldier is eInphatcally true in his assertion. A
case was closed up last week which has been be-
fore the department. for fifteen years and all this
time the pension officials have been endeavoring
to ascertain whether the applicant was physical
ly incapacitated from taking care Of himself or
not. 1t was at last determined he could do moth
ing towards earning his own living and the
claimant is now on the pension rolls drawing
pension of $72 month and enjoying the tardy
recognition of his services on So. 900 of back
pay which has just been paid him. 1t took just
sixteen minutes, instead of sixteen years, to ex-
anime him when he was enlisted into the service.

Further Light on the Speech of the Prussian

William Henry Hurbert's Ca BILE Special.
The interested attempts which have been
made to prevent the publication of a true YER

on the silver question continue to excite ndigna-
tion in the best financial circles. The official re-
port shows that Herr Scholz dsclaimed for his
government a devotion to the gold standard. and
promised Jealous consideration of the move
ment for restoring silver. The Importance of
this speech consists in the public avowal that
Germany no longer remains Indifferent Bis

Arendts words. "either with or without Eng

This is not all. have high authority for say

THE OHIO SENATE.
The Republicans Meet and Adjourn-Tbe
Democrats Will Be Present This Afternoon.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. 26-The situation in
gestions came from both sides looking to a com
promise, but nothing definite, nor any mode of
procedure, has been agreed upon. Neither SEN
ate is willing to be known as outwardly propos-
ing compromise, and, for this reason the re-
ports of settlement may not be of any conse-
quence. The Republicans claim to be firm in
their position, and that they will agree to moth
ing, except it includes immediate proceeding
under the rules they adopted last even
ing for the disposition of the Hamilton county
contested cases in open Senate. The Democratic
Senate is credited with proposition that
a special committee be appointed, of equal mem
bership politically for the heariLg OF the contested
cases The Republicans say they will not enter
tain this suggestion, even if it should come in
regular form. The Democratic senators met in
cancus at 10 o'clock this morning and will likely
be in session for several hours The Republican
Senate met at 10, with the Lieutenant-governor
in the chair All Republican members were
present, and none of the Democrats. The Jour

approved. They will remain in session about
one hour, and adjourn to to. morrow morning
There is no excitement, and only few specta-

accomplished nothing except to resolve on a
solid front, and that they will go ino the Senate
chamber at P. NJ. to morrow, the time to which
they adjourned.
The latest information tonight is that a COM

some agreement regarding the rules for the gov

LONDON Jan. 26.-The dynamite scare was
revived in Norwich to-day by terrific explosion
at the Victoria railway station, which partially
demolished the building No ore was reported
to have been injured. The cause of the explos-
ion is a mystery. Sir Henry Hawkins, judge of
the High Court of Justice Queens Bench), had
left Norwich on train starting from another
depot few minutes before the explosion, and it
is believed that the explosion was the work of
enemies who wished to injure him, and who had
made mistake in regard to the station at which
he would leave the town. Judge Hawkins SEN

ton, to life Imprisonment

UNCLAIMED MONEY.

made to induce Congress to take initiatory steps
in reform that has long been needed. The
United States has always been known as an ex-

The postal system of the United States, which
is SO commendable in almost every respect, can
not be too highly censured for the manner in
which the money order funds have been handled.
Until year or two ago, DR.. Mcdonald. the
chief of the money order division, put all sorts
obstacles in the way of the repayment OF moneys
due upon orders which had been lost AS u re-
suit, Dr. Mcdonald had been carrying to the
credit of the money order division an enormous
amount in New York which has reached more
than a million and a half of dollars. The
Doctor was quite proud of this showing, although
it represented the imperfections of system of
which he so frequently boasts. The money is in
New York city to day. and no effort has been
made to find its rightful owners. The United
States itself has no more right it than it would
have to the private accounts of Jay Gould or any
other wealthy man. 1t is the opinion OF the
officials in the money-order. service throughout
the country that If proper efforts were made to
find the original owners of this enormous amount
of money, which has been lost in the mails. at
least threefourths of it could be returned to the

however, has as yet been done towards distribut-
