new rule. They want to keep the appropria-
tons down to redeem their promise of eeono-
my, and they mean to cut on the appro-
priations for the sick and wounded
soldiers but they want chance
to explain that they love the soldier,
that all the while they were cutting down
the appropriations for his support they were
doing it against their will, but were COM
PEELED to it because few Congressman
who did not love the soldier insisted that the
money should be raised in way they could
not approve. 1t is the old Democratic trick
of doing by indirection what they have not
the courage to do directly.
The injustice of this programme becomes
more apparent when contrasted with the
way in which other legislation is treated.
| The House has recently passed the river and
harbor bill, which appropriates some $15,-
| 100000, large part Of which was money
misspent. Why did not Mr.. Morrison pro-
| pose when this bill was introduced that it be
| in order to offer amendments specifying in
| what way the money to satisfy the require
ments of this bill should be raised? Is the
| digging out of unheard of bitches and
| streams to give the constituents OF Congress
men jobs so much more meritorious than
providing for the support and comfort OF
| the men who sacrificed their health in behalf
of their country that the former should be
left unhampered, while the latter is handi-
capped for fear that it will be done too well?
| That would seem to be Mr.. Morrison
opinion and the opinion of the Democrats
who are supporting his new rule. Our
Maine Democracy, in convention assembled,
resolved that ''every Union veteran shall be
made to understand that the gratitude Of the
country means something more than empty
words" Their brethren in the House of
| Representatives are using their best en-
deavors to prevent the alleged desire of the
Maine Democrats from being realized. And
not Maine Democrat has yet reproved them

THE DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS,

The Democratic attempt to change the
rules of the House so as to make 1t IN oroer
to tack on to every pension bill an amend
ment providing a specific way in which the
money to meet it shall be raised is simply an
attempt to defeat all pension legislation and
atthe same time to shirk the responsibility
of so doing. With majority OF forty IN tne
House of Representatives it is obvious that
the Democrats have full control OF all legiS-
lation, pension legislation as much as any
other. The manly thing to do would be LOT
them to exercise that control directly ana
openly and go before the country on their
record. If a pension measure was lhlro-
duced which seemed to call for larger ap-
preparation than the country could afford the
proper thing for them to do would be to vote
it down. The people have put them there TO
assume the responsibility of legislation.
But the Democratic party is cowardly par.
ty and its leaders are ever seeking ways VI
Sinking. This rule in regard to pension
bills is their latest discovery in that hne'
When a pension bill is reported it is always
to be in order for some member to move as
an amendment that the money required W
meet the provisions of the bill shall De
raised in some particular way For instance
if the committee on pensions should report
bill increasing the pensions OF totally us
abled veterans, it would be in order Tor some
member to pop up and move that the money
to pay the increase be raised by imposing an
income tax. The effect of such an amend
ment can be readily seen. A good many
Congressman, who believed that the increase
was Just and would vote for it, would object
to the imposition of an income tax, an In
terminable discussion would spring up, and
the bill would fail. A chance would be left
however for the majority to explain that
they favored the increase but could not agree
upon the method Of raising it. Ii is to enable
them to make such an explanation as this
that the Democrats are now su PORTING this

NOVA SCOTIA AND THE CONFEDERATION.
Toronto Globe.
Nova Scotia has declared for repeal of the
Union, and no man of political understand
ing can suppose that this fact does not ma
terially change the situation 1t is certain
that the Province cannot be held in the Con-
federation unless satisfied by some new ar
rangement to her benefit, and certain that
the utmost difficulty viii be found in accom-
modating the other Provinces to any ade-
quate scheme for Cancellation. Canada can
not afford to let Nova Scotia go, because the
whole Confederation would probably be
shattered in the separation and attempted
reconstruction of the remaining members.
Its simply idiotic to talk, as contempora-
ry does, of holding her by force: 1t is i'm
possible to suppose that the agitation for re-
peal will die out without removal of the very
serious grievances of Nova Scotia No one
can exaggerate the gravity of the crisis.
The Confederation is in peril, and the prob
lem presented for solution demands the whole
skill of Canadas most thorough and far
seeing statesman

The Argus quotes without disapproval the
Boston Globes attack on Gov Robinson for
yetoing the bill recently passed by the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, relieving all veterans
of the late war from civil service examina-
ton. The Globe knows and the Argus
knows that the measure was opposed by a
large part of the Massachusetts veterans, and
that while the ostensible purpose of its sup
porters was to help the soldier, the real pur-
pose of most of them at least was to break
J down the civil service law. GOV. Robinson

John Bright is once more a candidate for
election to Parliament, and he has issued his
electoral address to his old constituents of
Birmingham. He has taken no doubtful po-
sition in this address, which he undoubtedly
realizes is one of the most important he has
ever issued. 1t is matter of regret to the
admirers of the great Liberal that the eau
ton Of old age has impelled him to adopt the
hating and inconclusive policy of Chamber
lain and Harrington. To the principle of
home rule in the abstract he makes no def
-ffiits--ebjeetion; he undoubtedly realizes
as fully as Mr.. Gladstone that some
better form of government must be
devised for Ireland. But he refuses to
pledge himself by supporting Glad
stone, for by SO doing he would bind
himself to uphold principle which might
be innocent or most dangerous" according
to the nature of the bills by which it should
be carried out. Already alarmed by the
great changes proposed in the two measures
for the better government of Ireland lately
debated, he refuses to trust Mr.. Gladstone
to solve the question in another Parliament.
But after all Mr.. Bright's manifesto does not
display SO much distrust OF Mr.. Gladstone
as of the Irish people. While claiming to
be, and undoubtedly intending to be friend
of Ireland, he still clings to the unfortunate
prejudices so common in England, and re-
fuses to believe that the Irish can govern
themselves 1t is unfortunate that leader
who must recognize SO clearly the necessity
forradical reforms, should be deferred by
the prejudices of old age from taking the
stand the world has learned to expect OF

France has got rid of the princes, but she
has not got rid of the sentiment that makes
the princes dangerous. A half dozen men
asserting a claim to the throne could not
jeopardize the republic, unless they had
good many supporters. If the claimants
have gone, their retainers have not. They
remain to plot against the existing order of
things, and their principals are near enough
to be on hand when the pear is ripe. The
most the French government has accom-
plished in expelling the princes is to inform
the world that the Republic is less firmly es
