Some Of the republicans in congress al
feet to believe that their party vii derive
good deal of eiectloneering capital out
of the presidents numerous yctoes Of
special pension bills Some OF these
gentlemen profess to be extremely rate
over the executive action, although few
OF them, We opine, would care to emu
late the protdne emphasis aud bad taste
Of Mr.. B4yne of Pennsylvania, who eX'
claimed This man, himself 10 soldier,
himself walking the path of peace when
those other men imperillcd their lives TO
save the Union, came il and put his veto
on the unanimous vote Of the house of
representatives and the senate OF the
United States. What constitutional
authority had the president for going to
this length II was a fault Of men en-
dowed with brief authority to arrsgate
knowledge that they did not possess.
He was no better than any other Amer
lean citizen, and he, by God was not the
equal of any man who periled his life
and went out to save the Union
At the present moment We cannot say
to what extent Mr. Btyne saved the
Union with cold steel, nor IS the matter
worth any extended research, but he
certainly would display more courage
as well as discretion now by sitting
dow ard studying the vetoes than by
shooting off his volleys of promiscuous
rant and nonsense The president does
rot pretend to know the record Of every
man who enlisted during the civil war
At the same time the generally accurate
information gathered by tie pension
office is at his disposal, and through it he
has convicted congress Of gross negli-
gencc or Tecklessness in approving many
bills for the expenditure of public money
One man to whom pension was voted
had already been in receipt Of it tOr half
rear Most of the others had no
shadow Of a valid claim. A few of the
cases are deserving, but the circumstances
do not warrant exceptional action. When
we are informed that these measures
were railroaded though the senate without
debate at the rate of from three to five a
minute, no less than five hundred of
them having passed that body during two
hours of April 81, the Justification for
executive scrutiny and revision becomes
manifest enough. And that precisely is
one of the duties imposed on the presi.
dent by the organic law. Every soldier
or soldiers widow who deserves a pen
sion should have one Neither the people
nor the president desire to be stingy OF
ungrateful. AT the same time so sacred
fund should not be distributed among
malngerers or frauds.

Who are the hardest men to collect FRONT
Why, rich men; men who are known to be
perfectly good. Retail men can not afford to
press collections against this class for fear of
losing their custom, and the people who are
well-otf, feeling that they are amply good for
the debt they may incur, run large bills from
month 10 month and pay only when they feel
inclined. Next TO rich men, the meanest class
to collect from are those who contract bills
deliberately, never expecting to pay them and
who defy the law IN collection Constant
dunning Is really the only way to collect any
thing from these, and even this fails nine
cases out OF ten
Poor, hard working men, mechanics, clerks
and wage-workers, generally are the best
men to get along with, They may get be
hind hand at times, but generally they give
up easily. Saloon men are hard people to
collect from, because, as rule, breweries
stand behind them ready to pounce on what
they have in case the law is reSorted to, and
knowing this they are Indifferent to the plead
