bill last winter for its increase to $40.
She finally succeeded by dint of much
hard work In getting her allowance
raised to $50. She Is the daughter OF
distinguished general of the war of
1912, who did gallant service and re-
ccived wounds in action that ultimately
caused his death. His remains rest In
the Congressional Cemetery. Some
weeks later the daughter of another
prominent officer, in the same war, but
of less distinction and who came out
of the battle in which he won his fame
unhurt, was placed on the pension
rolls at $50 month with scarce word
of opposition, and It was no more than
right. But this being right, there
must have been wrong done in the
other case, and Congress should take
the earliest opportunity to make
amends for its fault. The ladies are both
well along in years, of high conuec.
tions and equally deserving. But to
restore the equilibrium the smaller
pension should go up-not the larger
come down.

AT EVENTIDE.

Crimson, and gold. and russet,
Against the blazing sky,
The trees stood up In the sunset
AS the wind went wandering by.
Crimson, and gold, and russet;
And drifting haze of rain
Caught up tho western glory,
And gave IL back again.
Just so, when life Is sinking.
10 the twilight time of tears,
Worn with the fret and fever,
The turmoil of the years.
Light from the land we're nearing
Falls on the path we tread,
Like the smile we see through weeping
on the faces OF our dead,

Two States seem to be grooming
governors as possible Presidential can
didates. Many of the New York Dem.
ocrats squint kindly towards Governor
Hill as probability for 1888, and
many of the Ohio Republicans do the
same kind of squirting toward Gov
ernor Foraker in the same connection.
1t is some time yet before the next can
didates will be chosen, and there are
some older men than either of these
governors who have designs on the
next national conventions.

EQUAL and exact justice is perhaps
impossible in determining rates of pen
sion in special cases based on relative
degrees Of merit which cannot always
be readily ascertained. Particularly Is
this so where the claim originates in
the service of some soldier long since
dead and is made by descendant. Yet
II would seem as though Congress were
sometimes governed in these matters
by circumstances rather than the re-
suits of close investigation, and then,
again, there are instances where pal
pable Injustice is done in the very face
of what ought to be well-known his
torical facts. To illustrates A lady who

EITHER the esteemed Republican in.
correctly reports Senator Brown or the
Senator is not very well read on the
life of General Grant. The Republican
says that at the Grant Memorial meet
ing last evening Senator Brown of
Georgia gave life sketch of the great
commander from the day of his en-
deavor as n poor boy to seek entrance
into West Point to the elimination of
his glorious career" This is altogether
different from the account of his life
which the dead hero has told so de.
lightfully in his memoirs" General
Grant, according to himself, was not a
"poor boy" for his parents were in
very easy circumstances for the times.
Nor was there any "cndeavor' on his
part ITO seek entrance into West
Point" On the contrary, there was a
very well.devcloped endcavor on his
part TO keep out of West Point. Gen.
eral Grant tells us how distasteful the
idea of entering the military academy
was to him, and strongly hints that he
was only set on his way to the military
school on the Hudson by the strong
eXertion of parental authority backed
up by manual arguments.

THERE would be a peculiar appro.
priateness in the adoption by Congress
of the Senate resolution providing for
n change Of Inauguration day on Fri
day next, the 30th instant, the date
which it is proposed TO substitute for
March a. 1t would seem very simple
and easy thing to do. The PROPOSE
tion speaks for itself and needs no de-
bate; or If the inspiration of the occa.
sion proves irresistible, let the voting
be done first and the talking afterward.
The ninety-sixth anniversary of the day
when Washington was sworn in as the
first President of the United States
upon the balcony of the old Federal
Hall in New York could scarcely be
commemorated in more becoming
manner.

THE New York Chamber of Com.
merce yesterday met and after num-
Der of speeches adopted a set of reso-
lutions relating to the labor troubles,
which have the merit of being plain,
sensible and just Arbitration is in
dorsed and the legal right of employees
tostrike even when the adoption of such
course would entail great loss to en-
ployers, was recognized. AT the same
time the Chamber holds that when
man strikes, he vacates his place, and
that his former employer is under no
sort of obligation to employ him again;
and that out of fairness no employer
should discharge the men who worked
for him while the strike was on. The
resolutions also state that any violence
or threat of violence on the part of
strikers to prevent other men from
working, deserves the severest censure,
and that it is the paramount duty Of
every citizen to uphold law and order
The meeting which adopted these reso-
lutions was composed of leading busi-
ness men of New York, not one Of
whom, II is scarcely necessary to say,
Is a politician in fact or in prospect
Why do not the politicians show an
equal degree of common sense and
courage?
