the Snow case. This decision makes
the supreme court of Utah the final

able counsel to argue their case, and
the decision confirming the sentence OF

PENSION ~DEMAGOGISM.

Many members of congress are more
demagogic on the pension question than
any other. Especially is this the case
with some southern members, who
fear that they may be charged with UNI
fairness to the soldier element in the
north. This feeling has been worked
for all it is worth by a certain class of
republican representatives.
MIR. Blair, the gentleman who recent
ly engineered through the senate a So
called education bill which should
have been labeled ga bill to promote
m~endicancy," a bill which appropriate
ed $50, OOO, 900 of the peoples money,
and against which Senator Cockrell
had the manhood to vote though In a
very small minority, is now endeavor-
ing to "use up the surplus in the in-
terest of keeping up the tariff, by vot-
ing it to pensions-anything to get it
out of the treasury and to keep up a
demand for an immense revenue.
On his measure the other day Senator
Beck said the bill was a new departure
from any principle heretofore followed.
1t proposed to pension men who had
been elk months with the army who
might never have been on the field, or
heard a shot fired, and had not been in
jured in the service. He thought it was
carrying pensions to a point for which
there was no warrant. The taxes to
pay these pensions fell heaviest OF the
poor people of the country. He would
like to see a tax levied on the large
incomes for the support of these PEN
sions. There was no more justifiable
tax in the world than one on men who
had made their money by watered
stocks. Mr.. Salisbury said the whole
object of legislation in these times
seemed to be to see how congress could
more rapidly spend the public money
Senators would hear nothing of this
constantly increasing pension legisla-
ton if the soldiers had no votes.
There seemed to be no way to stop this
class of legislation except by providing,
by constitutional amendment, either TO
deprive the soldiers of their votes, or to
provide that no man who had eve
served in congress should be eligible to
the presidency of the United States.
He thought the latter proposition, if
adopted, would stop these raids on the
treasury. The country had provided,
or should provide, for all men who had
been wounded in the war. This was a
bill for a different purpose and went
too far. This seemed to rifle Senator
Logan, who can always be relied upon
to vote for a pension bill, right or
wrong.
Even with these and other protests the
bill passed, "a to IA. Senators Cock
rell and Vest both voted in the mega
tive. How such independent senator's
as Hampton, George and Gibson could
have voted in the affirmative is past our
comprehension.

The only unjudicial thing we have
seen in the circuit judge canvass was
the ill-tempered, ~virulent and illogical
editorial article upon the subject which
appeared in the Sedalia Democrat of
May 10. It's observation-disclosures were
only surpassed by its impolite asper-
sions of the motives and the intelligence
of the committeeman representing
Saline and Lafayette counties. Up this
way the flea prevails that the people
are as competent to pass on a judicial
matter as is a convention, and that in
a primary election there will, at least,
not enter the political factor known as
trading. Nor will any dark horse cut
any figure in the 'race.'
