A Peppery Response to Charges Made in an

NEW ORLEANS La, Jan. 8.-Some one, In
order to annoy Jefferson Davis, recently mailed
to him, at his home in Beauvoir, Miss, sheet
headed, "a Summary" containing the following
paragraph:

not even ta:nt his Masonic standing, but did
have much to do in securing his pardon.
Mr.. Davis Enclosed the Ssheet to his friend,
Col. j. L. Power Of Jackson Miss, secretary of
the Grand Lodge of Mississippi Masons, with the
following letter:

similar character, the inclosed sheet, having

assumed not to have been all of sorrow when

and sentenced to Imprisonment this week.
The polygamous saint protested that, since
the passage of the Edmunds law, he had lived
exclusively with one wife, but as this favored

ATLANTA, Ga, complains of trap similar
to the score or more in Indianapolis and
another victim, this time prominent citizen,
has been added to the long list of those killed
on certain railway crossing in that city
This is question that should be taken up at
once in this city. What to do about the
scores of railway tracks in Indianapolis should
be settled before the work of building a new
Union Depot is begun. This enterprise may
or may not be undertaken soon, but the ques-
ton Of safer railway crossings is one that can
not much longer be postponed without GRIM
inal negligence. AS business investment
the northern and southern halves of this city
should be afforded easy and safe passage across
railway tracks upon which so many lives have
been sacrificed. The present death traps must
be got rid of. Why not now9 Material is
cheap, and labor is cheap. The railways and
city are alike interested in this unsettled ques-
ton. The money expended during the cur
rent year would prove great blessing to the
working classes, and the result would be
greatly to the benefit of all concerned.

wrath of lean and hungry Democrats all along
the line Their indignation is excusable.
The first year of the long-hoped-for era of
Jacksonian simplicity, and the Boosted reign
of Democracy pure and simple, is hardly an
appropriate time for the establishment by the
government of favored class Of rich men.
Unfortunately, however, that is just the direc-
ton toward which simplicity seems to BE- tend

The attempt to secure a pension for a
granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson will hard
ly succeed, and ought not succeed. The OBJ
ject for which this charity is asked is a worthy
one doubtless, but the principle of looking to
the government for relief is bad. Each local
ity should care for its worthy poor. The
precedent of pensioning somebody's grand
child cannot be established without opening
the way to others. If the granddaughter of
Jefferson, why not the grandson Of Hamilton
and of Jackson? The idea is a vicious one.
The man who serves the country is honored
by the country while living That must
count for something. The running expenses
of the government are enormous; the burden
is necessarily grievous already. The peo-
pie cannot take upon themselves the
business of providing for the descendants
of its public men. Pensions have been paid
to the widows Of a few Of our greatest men,
and it is proper enough to see that those i'm
mediately dependent upon such should be
placed beyond the reach Of want and humilia-
ton. Our national pride would suggest that
much. But the line should be kept drawn
where it is. 10 extend it to take in descend
ants and remoter relatives is simply to remove
all bounds and to open the treasury to unnum-
bered claimants In government of the peo-
pie there should be no favored classes. He
redity can have no place. The generous SEN
timent that suggests the pensioning of Mrs
Meikleham should not be allowed to warp
the better judgment of congressman. 1t is
pitiful that any descendant of Jefferson
should be in want, but it is equally
pitiful that any one in this great country
should be in that condition. 1t is the duty
of the relatives of this lady, or those living
near her, to 60 to her relief. Thousands all
over the country have to be relieved in this
way by the bounty Of individuals. It were
easy to thrust all appeals for relief upon the
federal treasury, but difficult to make it ade-
quate to the task Of relieving all corners.

Presidents silver policy, Mr.. Edmunds yield
ed the floor with the remark that he should
certainly not refuse because it was important
that new senators should deliver their first
speeches-that nothing but the falling in of
the walls should prevent their delivery. The
effect upon Mr.. Gray of this comment was
such that he forgot to indulge in any of the
oratorical fireworks for which he is famous in
his little State; and in consequence of this
failure to rise to the great occasion in proper
style, there is doubtless much disappointment
