nf Grants administration. Gen. Black.
commissioner Of pensions. had granted
over 10000 certificates to pensioners
| since he assumed the duties of his office,
being 10 per cent more than ever had
been issued by any of his predecessors
during the same length of time The
treasury Of the United States testified to
the effect of Gen. Blacks increased eff
cheney in the administration of the PEN
sion Office. The payment of pensions
during the fiscal year Just ended exceeded
those Of the previous fiscal year by S.
GOO. 900. But Notwithstanding this in
crease in pension payments there had been
a net reduction in expenditures during the
past fiscal year Of over $4,000, 900 as
compared with the fiscal year of 1885.
Excluding pensions. the reduction of ordi
nary expenses for 1886, as compared with
1885. amounted to $24, SOC. 900. This
statement was made from the treasury
department.
Mr.. Springer asserted hat the pension
office had BEEN, previous to Gen. Blacks
administration, run in the interest Of the
Republican party. During the last presi-
dental year the number of claims Of ap
plicants for pensions considered by exam
lining surgeons in certain states we're very
ignifcant. In Maine, a contested state,
there were 719 cases considered in each
congressional district. In Massachusetts,
reliably Republican. where no special
political efforts we're required, the number
so considered was only 29l in each district.
In Illinois. reliably Republican, the mum
Der so considered was only AGO in each dis
trict. Thus it would seem that where
there were great political contests during
the last presidential year, the business of
the pension Office was concentrated, to the
neglect of worthy applicants who hap
pened to reside in states reliably Republi-
can or hopelessly Democratic.
The bill was reierred-yeas 100, nays
IlS. This cleared the speakers table of
veto IN essages.

Fighting a Strong Case


WASHINGTON, July when the veto
message on the bill granting a pension to
Francis Deming was reached, the Repub-
leans demanded and were accorded, half
an hour for debate. After debate the
message was referred without objection.
The next and last veto message upon the
speakers table, was Their laid before the
house. 1T was the message vetoing the
bill granting a pension to Joseph homiser,
and as this case Is regarded as presenting
remarkably strong features, the hepubli-
cans determined to make a fight over lis
reference.
Mr.. Burrows. OF Michigan, vigorously
assaulted the veto. and maintained that
there was no reason why the bill should
not be referred to the committee. There
we're no facts to be ascertained, and IN
such cases it was customary to act upon a
veto without reference. The last note
worthy case was the veto OF President
Arthur on the fItz John Porter bill.
That bill had beer immediately consld
cred by the house without reference TO
the committee. The president had vetoed
the Romiser bill because he had not been
mustered IN at the time he received his
wound. 1t was true tomiser mad not
taken an oath to defend the constitution
but he had been defending the consti'u'
ton against domestic enemies OF the flag
A mar who, in his enthusiasm and pafrl
otlsm vent to the defense OF the constitu-
ton without taking an oath to defend 1t,
was entitled to some consideration. A
man who, without taking the oath to de-
fend the constitution, but did defend 1t,
was entitled to as much consideration as a
man who took an oath to defend the hag
and then violated hat oath; and yet JOS
eph Romisers pension bill was vetoed,
and rl'z John Porter was put on the rolls
lArplause on the Republican side J
MIR. Warner, OF Ohio, believed this to
be a merltorlous case and to be IN the line
Of all precedents, but he thought 1t ought
to be referred to the committee.
Mr.. Snowden. OF Pennsylvania, com
mended the resident Tor his fearless course
and thought that the other side was max
ing u blunder IN trying to make the dis
cusslon a party question.
MIR. Springer said he would not discuss
the pending bill and the veto message OF
the president thereon except TO call at
tention to the fact that 1t was tirst vetoed
in the pension Office in 1852 bv Commis
sloner Dudley. But the gentlemen on
the other side OF the chamber had taker
advantage OF the discussion to attack the
president and the Democratic party auc

An Election Annulled.

A Baton Rouge dispatch to the Plea
yuue, says:
The Secretary of State has compiled
the vote in the parish of Grant on the
courthouse question, and as II majority
was found opposed to removal, he has
proclaimed the law authorizing the
election nugatory and OF no effect.
The Secretary has also proclaimed as
null the election in Avoyelles by which
a majority of 965 of the people OF that
parish voted in favor of removing the
seat of justice from Marksyille to a
point near the junction of Bayous Rouge
and Des GLASSES.
The invalidity exists in this: that
while the voters cast their ballots for
removal, no provision is made by the
Police Jury, as Is expressly required IN
the act, for an election by the property
taxpayers to be held at the same time
and place as the other election men
toned, but in separate boxes, to deter
mine whether or not these taxpayers
were willing to be taxed to defray the
expense of removal OF the Courthouse
and other public property. The Police
Jury having failed to order the elect on,
and no election on this question having
been had, the election for or against
removal is held to be of no effect.

Hi Osaae Missions.

In the Mississippi Presbyterian Sy-
nod. which was in session in New Or
leans last week, Rev. DR.. J. M. Craig
spoke on home missions:
He said the husband desires to save
his wife, the brother his brother, and
therefore it is natural for the Christian
to wish to save his fellow-men all over
the world. 1t ia the frequency with
which truth is presented, not it's power,
that converts people, and to keep them
good Christians it is necessary to keep
the truth constantly before them. This
10 the work of Home Missions.
He said that hundreds of thousands
of people fleeing from the oppression
of Europe arrive here full of luminosity
to all governments, and 100 years hence
their descendants will amount to tens
Of millions; and if this country is to
be preserved to Christianity all of these
people must now be converted.

Railroad Influence.
St. Bernard Eagle.

The wonderful growth of railroad
power and influence is seriously excit-
ing uneasiness throughout the country.
The Cincinnati Enquirer in recent
issue says that "these great monopolies
have furnished the Republican party
with Doodle to corrupt the ballot, run
their political campaigns and pauperize
the masses, and declares that when the
Democratic party makes it's special
mission to break up pools, ombinations,
monopolies and syndicates it will COM
mand the sympathy and support Of a
suffering people"
accredited to power with imperative in
structions on these subjects, it is the
present Democratic one The political
revolution that ousted the Republican
government was inspired by the dis
tinct adherence of the tendency which
was developing to consolidate all of the
business of the country into the hands
OF syndicates and monopolies. Indivi-
dual development was fast being stitled
in the overshadOwing growth of cOrpo-
rate wealth and influence fostered by
federal legislation. In the growth of
the railrOhd interests especially, thera
could easily be discerned the signals of
danger. All over the country cOmbina-
TONS nave Oeen gong On-the smaller
lines absorbed by the larger, and they,
in turn, by great trunk lines, and finally
trunk lines themselves swallowed up by
the ungainly anacondas of millionaire
syndicates. The consequence of all this
has been to put interstate commerce
entirely at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS
exaction. There can be no doubt that
the Democratic representatives in Con-
gress are pledged by the circumstances
of their election and by the history of
the long contest waged against Repub-
licanism, to assist Mr.. Regain, of Texas,
in securing the passage Of law to reg
ulate the cost of transporting passengers
and freight from one State to another
Such bill was passed by a Democratic
House, but was defeated in a Republi
can Senate. This section of the South
is fast having woven about it the net
work of these powerful systems, and our
representatives should see that these
corporations fattening upon federal
grants of extraordinary powers and
franchises, shall 6e Just and fair to the
people in their tariff of rates.
