to be remembered that the men en-
gagged In that war were pretty fair
ly dealt with in the matter of land
warrants, and that there can hard
ly be said to be an absolute require
ment of justice that more shall be
done for those of them who are not
in needy circumstances. Pensions
should be given literally to those
who may be helped to comfort in
their decliningyears by that means.
To give pensions as a compliment
to persons who incurred no disa-
bility and not ~necessitous seems
something of a stretch of the pen
sioning power.

They Have To

The monometallists of. the east
begin to understand that they
have not the slightest chance to Sc
curethe legislation they want from
the present congress. They are
forced to admit that they are in a
weak and hopeless minority in
congress, and that silver will Meth
er be demonetized nor will the
coinage be suspended. A Washing
ton correspondent of the Boston
Globe, a strong anti-silver paper,
writes:
"The best thing that a posi-
bly, be hoped for is to save the sill
yer status as it now is. If the sill
yer men will take that it will be a
deliverance SO satisfactory, under
the circumstances, hat it is not
worth while to talk much in resis-
lance to it. l advise our business
men to- make up their minds to
this as inevitable. AL their resolu-
lions and remonstrances will be OF
no avail against the high tide that
is running here. They must re-
member that party can do nothing
for them. They look for no aid
from the Democrats, and the ablest
advocates of silver in the country
today r Republican. There has
been no argument on their side
so strong as that of ex-senator Hill
of Colorado in Providence a fort
night ago. Senator Teller's speech
in the senate is the best yet made
on that side. Senator Jones of Ne
vada, who has mastered this mat
ter in all its bearings, is back in his
seat-of course to look after his
own interests ;but he is a power new
ertheless. There is not an intelli-
gent man in Washington but knows
that these men have the easiest pos
sible task in keeping things as they
are. Our business men may as well
recognize that and regulate their
affairs accordingly"

President Cleveland's wealth is
placed at $1,000 by one who ought
to- know him well. This money
was made out of his law practice
and his fees while Sheriff of Erie
county. At one time he was worth
$4,000, but his three campaigns
cost him about $4,000.

1t excludes Jeff. Davis and anv

Congressman Buchanan has in
troduced a bill, providing that un-
til July, 1886, trade dollars in good
condition shall be received by the
Treasurer of the United States in
exchange for standard dollars, and
be recoined into standard dollars.
The Committee on Coinage is to
consider this bill at it's next meet
ing, and it will probably be report
ed to the House at an early day.
That the United States Government
should receive trade dollars from
the Legitimate holders thereof does
not admit of debate. The Govern
ment issued them from its minis
at a time when it was the only coin
which the public could get hold of,
and they went into the hands of
the people who gave full worth for
them. There is. really more silver
III them than in the standard dol
lars for which they are.to be ex-
changed, and the governments loss
will be limited to the expense Of
coinage, which is immaterial.

Umpire Green does not seem to give
satisfaction. Tue Macon Telegraph man
says he lacks courage to call three strikes
or seven pals, without giving either pit
cher or batter an extra chance. In
Thursdays game at Macon, when batters
had two strikes, and a ball as demanded
would come right to the mark di-
rectly after the second strike
had been called, the Telegraph says,
he had not the nerve to call "three
strikes" This was noticed by many.
Green does not seem to be partial, for he
showers his blunders on all alike, but
they are not welcome because they are
impartial. He ought not to forget that
he apOlogized to a batter for calling
strike on him when it ought to have been
"ball," by saving thatb he twas thinking
of something else" Umpires ought not
to be thinking Of something else" when
they are umpiring a game.'
