The Mexican War Pension Bill.

The bill to pension all the surviving
soldiers of the Mexican war has passed
the House and is, at the present writing,
in the Senate. In the shape in which il
left the House it is certainly very OBJ.
ieclionable bill, which was put through
by the Democrats to placate the ex-
rebels and make sort of offset to
the pensions paid to the loyal soldiers
of the war of the rebellion. 1t is well
known that much the larger part of the
soldiers of the Mexican war were from
the Southern states, for two reasons:
First, because those states were much
nearer to Mexico and soldiers could be
much more conveniently transported
into Mexico from that region than from
the North. Second, because the war
with Mexico was practically crusade
for the acquisition of more slave terri
tory, entered into by the South with
great zeal and by the North with great
reluctance. Under such circumstances
the government owes these ex-soldiers
no such debt of gratitude as it owes to
those soldiers who fought to maintain
the very existence of the government
when that existence was desperately
threatened. Aud yet the government,
under whose sanction and at whose call
those soldiers went out to fight Mexico,
ought to pension all those who have
disabilities traceabe to service in that
war.
But the present bill has no reference
to either disabilities or actual service.
Many men enlisted for that war but
never left their states. Others, in those
DAYS without railroads, were so long in
getting to Mexico that the war was end
ed before they crossed the frontier, and
so they saw no actual war service.
The bill would not be particularly OBJ
iectionahle if it contained clause re-
curing at least one hundred days SER
vice from the time of enlistment, for in
those days of slow travel by steamboat
no regiment could be enlisted, equip
ped and reach the field where actual
war service began in less than one hun
bred days. Then, too, the burden of
the pensions required has been much
exaggerated. Besides the regular army,
probably not 10000 soldiers were en-
ployed by our government. The great
err part of these are dead, as that war
was forty years ago. The youngest
soldiers of that war are nearly sixty
years old. and to say that the burden
of their pension viii continue forty or
fifty years longer" is absurd. The
number of them who will be alive fif-
teen years from now will be very small
indeed.

phrase ''innocuous desuetude," has
more than matched that phrase in a
letter to the Soresis Ga New York club

refers to 1.-THE fraternity of all earnest
women As fraternity means broth
erhood, we must suppose that Rose E.
meant to have her earnest women look
out for other women's brothers.

The Galena Gazette says the many
friends of the Dominican sisters OF St.
Clara Academy, Sinsinawa Mound. will
be pleased to learn that the Supreme
Court has reversed the decision of Judge
Shepard in the case involving valuable
Chicago property. which was left by
will to the above named institution by
member of the Dominican Order who
died in 1888. The relatives of the de.
ceased, including a brother-in-law
named Sullivan, filed bill objecting to
the will on the grounds of a cloud on
the title, and holding that it was invalid
because it was bequest to a foreign
corporation. 1t involved a very nice
question of law, and Judge Shepard
sustained the bill. The counsel for
the devisee took an appeal with the
above result.

A Business Mans Views Of Business.

w. II. Wanamaker, OF the we'll
known house of Wanamaker & Brown,
Philadelphia, one of the most success
full business firms in America. was re-
Gently in Louisville, Kentucky, where
the firm have large branch establish
ment. In the Co,srier-Journdl of that
city he expressed his views on the SUBJ
ject of advertising, as follows:
There is no people anywhere that can
be humbugged or deceived more than
once. Your customer, while he may
not know the intrinsic merit of what
you offer, can form pretty fair idea of
quality, and once you mislead him his
confidence in you is gone forever. and
besides he will influence portion of
his circle of friends against you. II
there is any one thing l would offer as
a maxim to advertisers it is this: 1.-The
truth pays" Some years we have
spent over quarter of million in adj
vertising, and you can readily see that
we have given the subject very much
practical trial, and have studied it
theoretically as science. In all these
years we have watched the returns
carefully from every standpoint we
have taken, and are now prepared to
give our unqualified opinion that more
and better returns are given to us
through the newspapers than all the
| other means ever tried.
ave advertise constantly. There is
always some trade doing, even in the
| dullest season. and we strive to
divert the floating or transient
trade to our place. Again, when bust
ness ordinarily is dull, people who see
our invitations in the newspapers are
more apt to read them, for the reason
that they have more time to read, and
there are fewer advertisements then.
Many merchants who have been in busi-
ness for certain number of years will
| say: oh, we are so well known it is of
no use for us to advertise There never
was greater mistake. We would as
soon think of canceling our insurance
policies as our advertising contracts.
We spend more money with newspa-
pers each year that goes by; there are
more people that want goods, and new
trade is always coming to the surface.
advertising that is well done is Gu
mulative in its character. 1t is the
compromising of interest. An adver-
tisement inserted in paper once will,
in all probability, bring good return
to the merchant who has the goods the
people want ut the right price; each
successive advertisement gains an i'm.
petus and influence from the Original
one, and SO it counts up until the name
of the firm gets what is equivalent t.
the good will! of a successful business
besides deriving the direct profit from
immediate sales caused by the advertis
ing. To advertise well merchant
should give as much care to his news
paper space as he does to any other de
partment of the business.
As general thing a merchant cal
well afford to spend in newspaper ad
vertising, from one-third to one-fifth th,
amount of all his other total expenses
If a man in business talks as earnastl,
through his paper, when he is address
ing thousands of people simultaneously
as when he is talking to one customer
he cannot fail of making success o
newspaper advertising"

TIME TO REBEL.

Until recently the good-natured American public took but little interest in the new ty- rant called Boycott. Now it is taking a great deal of interest in him, and is rapidly mak- ing up it's mind that he is not good to have in free land, and that he must therefore go.
 It has been seen that Boycott is wicked, malevolent tyrant. He does not take into consideration the moral law, the conscience or the rights of men. He does not stop to ask if it is right to attempt to carry out or ganized schemes of revenge which involve injury to business and to reputation. He does not allow those whom he calls upon to assist in this wicked work any freedom of judgment or obedience to the requirements of morality and religion. In secret he con- cocts wickedness, and then audaciously and shamelessly orders ali whom he can reach to carry it out under penalty of attack from him. Cowards and weddings have yielded to his orders and threats to such an extent that he imagines that his rule is secure and his ways supreme. But, like other tyrants, he does not take into account the forces that are working against him.
 We believe that his power in this country is about to be taken away from him. It can not be that the frsedom-loving inhabitants of the United States will tolerats him much longer. They asking them selves and each other, why should we stand idly by and see the wrongs done by him go on without an effective pro- tssta Who is he that we should obey him and thus become his slavesa Even those who have once yielded to him see their mistake. They see that he will be satisfied with noth- ing less than their complete subjection. He wants and means to have his subjects under such control that they will carry out his dev- ilish plans without objection. If he wants to ruin business man, if he wants to attack poor woman who is trying to get living, if he wants to deprive honest workingmen of their freedom to work, he cannot and will not endure any protest He must have prompt and full obedience.
 We ask the people of this moral and iber- ty-loving town if it is right or safe to allow sls tyrant to hold sway here. Is not prompt and effective rebellion against him demanded by every consideration of right and prudence?
