Ayuntamiento de Ponce por el
Gobernador General de aquella An

Los autonomistas han querido
dar a este acto un sentido politico
que no tiene, para desviar la cues
ton de su verdadero terreno, y for

del respectable senior Ruiz Dana.

two.

One objection raised by some comrades
to the Per Die II Service Pension Bill is
that the veterans who enlisted Tor three
years, but who only served for two or tl,lee
months owing 10 wounds or dissb bilty con-
traetcd IN the service, will only receive GO
or 90 cents per month, while his fellow
soldier who remained the whole three
years will get monthly pension OF Sl0,95.
THIS is true, but it must be remembered
that the short term man has been drawing
II pension for his disability ever since the
war. 1t must also be remembered that
after ais discharge from the service and
restoration TO health, lie stood u much bet
ter chance Of securing lucrative employ
ment ut home than did his comrade who
remained for the full term, who generally
found the place he had left 10 80 to the
war filled by another man.
The Per Diem Bill ia for service only,
and follows out the policy Of this and
other governments which pay The soldier
only while in service, unless Tor some
cause he becomes entitled to pension. II
he only serves for month lie only gets
pny Tor II month, and following out this
principle, which IL entirely Just, the thirty,
sixty or ninety.day's man will only receive
under The Per Diem Bill the proportiona,e
amount TO which his length OF service en-
TITLES HIM. When this bill shall become
law IL will be time enough TO agitate for
an increase ratio OF pension for short term
men, but al present all comrades should
use their earnest endeavors to secure the
passage Of this just and equitable measure
To ask Congress TO pass bill giving SS
per month TO all veterans OF the late war
IL useless. for even placing the number Of
surviving soldiers aud sailors at | ,000, 900,
the amount would reach nearly hundred
millions Of dollars, TO which has to he ad.
ded the present appropriations Of about
SS0,00O 900 annually. This IN asking
more than Congress will grant, although
II is not more than the veterans are enti-
tled TO and which in time they may secure,
Therefore we counsel every cOmrdde lu
direcl all his efforts just now to securing
the passage Of the Per Diem Bill which il
acknowledged by Congress aud the people
10 I've the iairest aud most Just measure yel
proposed in the way Of general pension

OF the four papers yet remaining in
Bowling Green each have candidate
for Congress, and the candidates are all
on the Democratic side. Mr.. Canary
discovered three years ago while exam
lining the Commissioners report, that
very little of the business was being
transacted by law, that $l35, 900 in
bonds had been Issued and the money
raised was unaccOunted for, as well as
other large sums for which the report
failed to show its source of disappear
ance. This entitled him, of course, to
the taffy and support of the Sentinel.

Nelson county could tell that little
Chicago convention something about
running the campaign. It's all in the
Combination. ."-NetSOn County, Dakota,
CdpitaI
None but the most experienced "safe"
manufacturers and "safe blowers" can
be intrusted us delegates to political
convention in the future-if there is moi
radical reform in conducting conven'
tions and politics. No business man
that has any business to engross his
mind and has the business welfare of the
country at heart, can take the time to
learn the combinations" Of the "politi-
cal lock, "dead lock-" or the lock to
honor, virtue and progress. The politi
cal lock is fast becoming the dead lock
to all these.

''Foraker's Troachery" furnishes the
heading for many newspaper articles,
since the Chicago convention. "Jim"
Brown, of Toledo, had the remains
''sent home on ice," and the next lcgis-
lature can reduce the Governors salary
TO $4,000 year again, with the full
assurance that they can not make
Statesmen" with money. Just how
Jas. III. Brown got to be delegate to
the convention, however, is not intel
ligibly explained, as Clarence Brown, n
Blaine man, defeated him in hotly
contested contest for the honor just
prior to the State convention. Capt. j.
b. Luckey, the other delegate from the
Toledo district, was the only one who
dared tear himself loose from the Sher-
man delegation on the last ballot and
vote for Harrison. Ills penalty is to be
kicked to death with mule-lo save
ice. The. Toledo district is bound to
make her mark, whether in State OF
National convention.

The Prohibition party perceived the fit
mess of making mention Of the tariff in
their national platform. 1t is instructive
to observe that the platform Committee,
tbeng under no partisan bias, took tho com
mon sense view OF the questionable view
that is undoubtedly held by nine-tenths Of
the unprcjudiccd people OF the country
viz, that the Treasury surplus ought to be
reduced by repeating duties on the neces-
suriesoi lilo. The resolution reported by
| the Committee was as follows.
THAT an adequate public revenue be-
ing necessary, IL may properly he raised by
| import duties and by nm equitable assess-
ment upon the property and the legitimate
business of the country; but import duties
| should he 30 reduced that no surplus shall
be accumulated IN the Treasury, and that
the burdens OF taxation shall he removed
from food, clothing, and other comforts
| and necessaries OF life"
This is what the average citizen believes
and is ready 10 vote for. II the platform
of the Prolibitionisls had been lett as it
WIS reported and unanimously adopted, il
would have been complete aud satisfactory
But nj the evening session u Pennsylvania
delegate proposed an additional paragraph
which wss adopted IN these woIls:
And imposed on such other articles OF
import ~ will give protection both to The
manufacturing employer and the prodnc-
ing lahorer against the competition Of the
world"
The platform NJ thus finished is conces-
sion To protectionism, but is by no means
sufficiently 50 To meet the requirements of
the tariff Republicans, whose record M
made np in The lIOupe Of Representatives il
against any reductions of protective duties
whatever, whether on the necessaries or on
the luxuIies vf life.-Nag York Post.

Well, the Chicago Convention is over
and the country breathcs easier. Some
say we have too much politics, while
others say the general reader likes poll
tics, and while it comes high we must
have 'em. II is difficult to know how
to please the varied tastes in this re-
spect, but we have decided to give ouI
readers pretty full dose of convention
news this week with the hope that il
may enable them TO decide more fully
whether it is best TO have so much poll
tics or not. The results at Chicago nr,
similar to the other conventions. The
personnel and record of the men arc
such as to exclude scurrilous attack
leaving the object and aims of the par
ties up for discussion.
