IN UNEINIsnED WORK.

The highest recognition a country
can pay to those who have fought its
battles and won its victories is through
n well l-regulatcd pension system. 1t
may cost In the aggregate great deal
of money, but 1t is not in the nature Of
things continuing or permanent cN-
penditure.
Our heroic sires of the Revolution
are numbered with the dead most of
them long ago. OF those who defend
ed the honor of the Government In the
second war with the mother country,
but few remain The veterans Of the
conflict with Mexico are rapidly dis
appearing. Even the Grand Army Of
the Republic-grand as it is in it's liv.
ing proportions and drawing 81, ,00),

year-will fast disband as the century

ing ground within the lifetime Of tnu
children now playing upon the street.
But while it is Just and right that
these men should be gratefully remem-
bered by their country, isit not of next
Importance at least that the millions Of
emancipated slaves to whom the war
meant liberty without the capacity to
comprehend it-who, by stroke of
the pen, were transferred from condi.
ton of absolute dependence to strange
and unfamiliar responsibilities, and
whose children are growing up in ig-
norancc rs dense as that from which
their parents never emerged, should
also receive some temporary help from
the Government which wrought this
great change without furnishing them
the appliances to profit by it?
10 supply this want is the object of
the educational bill. The measure is
in the nature of duty which the Gov
Eminent owes, not to the several States
MS States, but to itself Otherwise its
plea Of military necessity for setting
the bondmen free will find itself but
half justified in the light of impartial
history.
Great issues are pending before the
country. Tremendous revolutions, il
may be, wait upon the progress of oui
civilization. Conflicts between tht
wage workers and the wealth owner!
are not improbable, threatening thu
fabric of social order. How importan
il is to both and TO the interests of hu
manity, in the solution of these gray,
questions, that the element of illitcracy
be reduced TO its minimum. Nor car
we take heed of this necessity too soon
Ignorance is itself a species of slavery
and as long as one solitary descendan
of Southern serf is denied access t.
the privileges of the common school
the work Of emancipation will remail

COLONEL snort,s nenevoIence.

Bill Snort, editor of the Crosby County
Clarion, is one of the kindest hearted men
in the world, lie has large family Of
fourteen children. His income, OF coures,
is very small and uncertain, but this does
not prevent him from being charitable One
cold day last week, while he was out walk
ing to keep himself warm, there being no
fire In his office, on account Of the unwill-
ingness of his readers to swap off cord wood
for subscriptions, he came across ragged
little boy who was crying bitterly. Taking
the little boy by the hand, Bill Snort said:
"Come home with me, little fellow; I'll
provide for your future existence"
On arriving at his house Colonel Snort
said to his wife:
"Here is a poor little orphan boy I've
brought home to you.n

AN OLD GLOVE.

All yesterday ] found glove,
Grown shabby, full Of tiny rips,
But dear to me because my love
once through II thrust her hnger-tips.
A glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yet here own there Is for me
No relic in the world more sweet.
4 faint far scent of lavender
Steals from IL, as the clover smelt
When through the fields walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
Faith but loved the little hand
That used to wear this time-stained thing
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart futterng,
or If IL touched my finger so.
OR smoothed my hair-why should speak
or those old daysf 1t makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek
Poor stained, worn'ont, long;wristed glove
think II almost understands
That reyerently, and with love,
hold IL in my trembling hands.
And that II is so dear to me-
With its old fragrance, far and faint,
Because my mother wore II, She
On earth my love, In heaven my saint.

ANOTHER RULE WANTED.

il is becoming more evident every
day that the expedition of business un-
der the new rules of the House does
not expedite to any very alarming eX-
tent. The House yesterday went into
Committee of the Whole on the private
calendar. To the first bill taken up
Mr.. Scott of Pennsylvania offered an
amendment and then delivered long
speech on the silver question. Mr..
Geddes protested against private bill
day being taken up by such discus
sion and an effort was made 10 confine
The debate to the subject really before
the House, but 1t was not successful
Mr.. Morrison admitted that there
was nothing in the rules that prevented
Members from making stray and irrele-
want speeches. If member elected to
make such speeches there was no way
Of heading him off. So the House
spent the whole days session in talk
ing about silver and left the private
calendar just as it was, The very gen
tlemen who were prominent in having
the new rules adopted now testify to
the incompetency of those rules in
many respects to facilitate business,
and the condition of the business before
the House is affirmative of those gen.
tlemen's testimony.
The rules ought to have been left as
they were or else been improved. The
way they don't work suggests that re-
forms, If not revolutions, sometimes go
backwards

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

lIoratio Seymour strong love of ma
ture is eXemplified in his choice of
monument. 1t seems, says the Roches-
ter Democrat, that many years ago he
fixed upon rough granite block now
lying at Rcmsen, on the Utica and
Black River Railway, north of
Trenton Falls, as the stone to mark
his final resting place. This stone is
to be inscribed in simple manner.
Remsen is the nearest station to the
bleak hill upon which Baron Steuben
passed his last days and upon which he
lies buried in a wooded reservation
separated from the barren tract which
was given to him in payment for his
services in the Revolution. Governor
Seymour took the deepest interest in
the efforts which were successfully
made to erect over the great soldiers
grave fitting monument He passed
several times between the little village
of Remsen to the grave of Steuben. 1t
is picturesque spot. From the lofty
summit of the hill where the grave is
the vast eXpanse of the northern will
derncss can be scanned as it stretches
away into the mists of the horizon.
When the corner stone of the Steuben
Monument was laid in 1870, Governor
Seymour delivered the principal ad-
dress from stand erected in the forest.

Says the New York Graphic:: "The
widow of Rev. Mr. Noyes, late consul
to Venice, and whose requiem mass
last week created such ripple in reli-
gious and social circles, was before
marriage Miss Miller and is sister
still in Venice, but Is to return very
soon. She is gentle and amlable
woman, and her marriage to Mr..
Noyes was the elimination of ro-
mantle attachment begun many years
ago"

and it was for Won Moltkc to lead her
armies to victory The two men
seemed exactly fitted for each other.
Each did his work without clashing
with each other in the least. The loss
of Won Moltke to Germany would be

The history of movements having

in the Quaker City to his memory, the
structure TO cost 1924, 600. Circulars
were sent out asking for subscriptions
TO the fund, but very few replies have
been received. The contributions have
been few in number and small in
amount 1t is said that not one of the
men prominent in political life whom
Mccullough regarded as his dear
friends has even replied to the com.

ments are very easy to start, but they
very soon lose their momentum.
The postmastcrs in convention at
Chicago are discussing their grievances
and asking Congress to redress them.
They will probably be relieved to some
extent but will not get all they want,
for the list of their demands is we'll
drawn out. The present method of
regulating postmasters' compensations
isin many respects very inconsistent and
inequitable. There &C rtaiuly ought to
be some change in a system which
gives to postmaster whose salary is
$4,000 competent allowance for office
rent, clerk hire, Office furniture, light
and fuel, while the postmaster who re-
ccives but 1900 has to pay for all of
those thing out of bis own pocket
CoNGREss Is not in session to-day.
Neither will it be tomorrow, because
tomorrow is Sunday; nor yet on Mon.
day, because Monday is Washington 5
birthday. As there is nothing in par
ticular for Congress to do, however,
the three days thus vacated will not be
particularly missed
GAS is getting cheaper all over the
country except in this city. The
development of the electric light is
probably the cause Of the decline. The
prevalent price for gas is now 81 a

on the right track.

WE HAVE one great boon in this
country in The existence of the National
Civil-Service Reform League, the head
quarters of which are in New York
Whenever there is any trouble about
the business of the country, the league
can be depended upon every time to
come right forward and by resolutions
regulate the whole subject. The league
has now resolved that the Senate should
not discuss nominations in executive
session, and that the reasons why
changes are made in offices should be
made public. The league also resolved
that recommendations to office are not
private and confidential but matters of
public record, We hope the Senate
and the President will both be duly
impressed by this kind solution of the
differences existing between them
What wretched country this would
be without National Civil. Service Re-
form League.
GENERAL Won MoLTKE, one of the
greatest soldiers the world has ever

of such different careers and habits in
life SO entirely in harmony. 1t was for

Senator Stanford of California, we
are told by the Washington correspond
ont of the Boston Traceller, is by all
odds the wealthiest man in Congress.
1t is said that he could buy and sell
the fortunes represented in both the
Senate and House and then have plenty
left for rainy day. The extent of his
fortune is variously estimated. Some
place IL as high as Ss0,000,0O0 and
some even higher than that. The
Senator has none of what is called
'the arrogance of wealth" To him
the possession of his vast fortune Is n
mere incident. No man in public life
has such demands made upon his
generosity. The Senator likes to give
but he is particular that his donations
shall be made in the directions where
they are the most deserved. The pro
fcssional mendicant gets no satisfaction
from Senator Stanford. Your CORE
spondent learns upon excellent author
ity that there are to-day hundreds of
persons who have been assisted out of
difficulty by him and yet who are
totally ignorant of the name of their
