The Wards and Not the Paupers.

Iowa State Register.
Gen. Alger uttered noble sentiment ut
the reunion of the Army of the Cumber-
land when he said: THE comrades of our
gallant Sheridan ought to be the Nations
wards, and not the Nations paupers
He spoke at reunion of old soldiers.
There were no politics in the meeting.
But the sentiment he uttered raises a
question which is a legitimate issue in
politics.
Who has brought it TO pass that the
comrades of Sheridan and every other
gallant soldier are regarded as the Ma
tons paupers?
Who was it that on the floor of Con.
grcss insultingly declared that he was in
favor of having every State take care Of
its own paupers meaning disabled Union
soldiers and their dependent families? 1t
was Democrat.
Who was it that referred to the de-
pendent pension bill as bill for the re-
lief of paupers? 1t was Democrat.
Who voted almost soidly against that
bill and begrudged the disabled veterans
the pittance which il was proposed to
give them? Democrats.
Who vetoed that bill and showed that
he would not give the gallant comrades
OF Sheridan ana Grant ana sherman the
treatment that common gratitude would
suggest for even common service? A
Democrat
Who has vetoed pension bills on tech
nical grounds that were only discovered
after long and painstaking search! A
Democrat.
Who has written insulting veto mes
sages, outraging the memory of the dead
and cruelty wounding the feelings of the
living? A Democrat.
Who has turned out of Office Union
soldiers to make places for ex-rebels, APP
pointing four ex-rebels to one Union
soldier during the past three and half
years? A Democrat.
Who has made every man who wore
the blue, and now is suffering and in
needy circumstances, to feel that ho is n
pauper instead of welcome ward of the
Nation he helped to save? Grover Cleve'
land and the Democratic party.

His Feelings Shocked.

A party OF young Mi waulioc sports
men recently went up into Minnesota
for chicken hunt. and among them
was one Young fellow noted for his
quiet unassumnT manner. and tasty
dress. lie wouldn't knowingly offend
fellow mortal for the world, and to
all who know him it is plain that his
life pathway has been smooth and
free from instructions. Nobody had
ever spoken harShly TO him. aud he
did not know what it was to have his
feelings rulely shocked, but his time
had to come sooner or later. and it
came when he least expected it. The
journey had been unusually hot and
dusty, and our young friends mad sui,
forCd so with heat that nearly the
whole of the way they had sat in
their Sh 1T sleeves. One noon, when
the sun was just frying everything it
struck, the train pulled into a station.
where dinner was announced. and as
the eating house was quarter OF n
mile away. the passengers had u
pretty hot walk before them. All the
bows started for the hotel, having don
ned their coats, with the exception of
our quiet young friend who forgot to
put his on. After II very uncomfo rta-
bic walk they reached the place and
filed into The dining-room. the coat
less party bringing up the rear. He
had hardly got inside of the door when
somebody yelled in his car, loud
enough to take the top of his head oil:
Say on! Our friend turned around
in his quiet manner and said "Well?"
Then the big man, who had addressed
him said: well, it amt we'll at all,
you little sawod.oli jaw, an want
you to understand that no man comes

young man explained that he had left

was no use. and lie had to 90 way
over to the Car and back before he
could eat his dinner. Later, in speak

They Cleared Inn.

"Gentlemen," said the Arkansas lawy er
to the backwoods. "it is fact that my
client was caught fooling around another
man span Of mules. But while he may
be mistaken when he says that he took
those mules out of the stable to water
them, because their brutal owner had
neglected to attend to their wants, tell
you, gentlemen. that my client can out

sound of my voice"
That's a lieH yelled the Jury in a
chorus
Very well, gentlemen, said the law.

you give him no chance to prove his

The New York Situation.

Minneapolis Tribune.
The denomination of Governor Hill, Of
New York, by the Buffalo convention
clearly identifies the position occupied
by the Democratic party of the country
Governor Hill. since his Inauguration
four years ago, has been the agent of the
rum power The State legislature passed
a high license act similar to that now in
force in Minnesota, and it was vetoed by
Governor Hill at the command Of the
liquor interest. He also vetoed measure
which was intended to throw more safe
guards around the ballot box. and thus
prepared the way 81 far as he could, for
carrying the Empire State for Grover
Cleveland and himself through the agency
of the constituencies heelerS of the robber
precincts Of New York and Brooklyn.
David B. Hill is the type OF the modern
successful ward politician. Without
craftsmanship, he is elected by the ignor-
ance and crime Of the greatest State in
the Union, and holds his position by
virtue of making common plumber of the
patronage Of the commonwealth. with.
out principles. he achieves and holds
power by pandering to the criminal liquor
traffic. and builds his political temple
upon the foundation of the saloon
We in Minnesota have had some eX-
perience with the same element, but
fortunately it was not in the majority.
Governor Hill will be defeated this year
in New York He has outraged the pub
lie conscience of great and intelligent
people, and pinned his faith to the most
reactionary faction of Il reactionary party.
The issue is clearly made between the
churches and school houses Of the EN-
pire State on the one hand and the
saloons and barrooms of the metropolis
on the other. In a contest like this there
can be but one result, The saloon as a
political factor must go-in New York as
elsewhere throughout the land-and
Governor Hill, its apostle, agent and
most obedient servant. must go with 1t

RankIy "0fiensiye Partisans."

Milwaukee Sentinel.
When Mr.. Villas was Postmaster Gener.
al he issued confidential circular to
Democratic members of Congress con.
corning the removal of Republican Off.
cials. In that circular he defined often
sive partisanship' such as should subject
an official to removal under Mr.. Cleve-
lands policy. He said II will require
no more proof of offensive craftsmanship
than that the Republican official has been
a stump speaker, or organizer of political
meetings" etc.
Mr. Villas is still Cabinet officer an
official of the government. He has been
engaged in this State as a stump speaker
in the interests of the Democratic party.
Under his own definition. he is an often
siye partisan" and is a fit subject for re-
moval under Mr.. Cleveland's declared
policy
In the Second district, Postmaster
Smead and ex-Collector Wells. of Fond
do Lac, manipulated the primaries and
were both delegates to the district con
vcntion. They both freely admit that
they are riproaring partisans and that
they control the Democratic politics of
Fond du Lac county and of the district.
All over the country the same things
are noted Even Mr.. Cleveland, whose
gall is unparalleled, hasn't the gall to
mention civil service reform and offensive
partisanship in his second letter of &C.
ceptance. His candidacy for a second
term puts him in the same box with Villas,
Smead and Wells
1t would hardly be worth while to call
attention to the matter but for the fact
that the Republican party still urges the
necessity of reform and that these in
stances must serve to show the people its
need. But it must be admitted that
Cleyeland's hypocrisy and the apologize
attitude Of the professional refOrmers,
have made reform much more difficult 20
attain than it was four years ago.

Don't Like the Name.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. Cleveland would like to reject the
name free trader. But he does not know
enough of the question he discusses to
avoid the declaration of freetrade theo-
ries and the use 81 free trade arguments
without disguise or reservation. He
aflirms TO himself and his party: I'VE
propose to stimulate our domestic in
dustrial enterprises by freeing from duty
the imported raw materials That is
the very essence of the free trade theory.
that free materials will stimulate industry
Mr. Cleveland so believes, and on that
belief the Republicans join issue. They
maintain that manufacturing industries
are best protected by securing through
defensive duties permanent ample, and
cheap supply Of materials; that wool and
ores and pig metal will produce in greater
quantity and at less cost il the producing
industries are fully protected. This they
prove by comparing the enormous in
crease in production here with the in
crease in Great Britain, where the home
production is distinctly checked by free
trade. Ii is well that the President has
avowed his belief so plainly, and the
more men credit his sincerity the more

amazing ignorance Of one who knows 50
little Of Industries that he is not aware
that more persons are employed in pro
ducing the materials than IN fashioning
them into manufactured articles: more in
growing wool than in wool MANUFACTURED
more in mining and smelling ores than in
their manufacture; and SO in almost every
department of industry Mr.. Cleveland 8
friends will interpret his course as they
please. But the fact remains, add is
known to the voters. that the wages Of
all labor must inevitably be affected by
turning out of employment any consider
able part Of the laborers. and that the
number who now fiud support in mining,
in smelling ores. in chopping and saving
lumber, in growing wool, and in pro-
duction OF other raw materials, Is so great
and so important that it can not be de-
prived of employment nor seriously
locked in wages without causing com.
plete revolution in the condition of all

not so very long ago that Mr.. Cleveland
suspended United States District At

made Republican speech. The in
famous circular letter which Mr.. Villas,
then Postmaster General, sent out to
Democratic workers instructing them how
toprocure evidence of offensive partisan
ship which would Justify him in making
removals, contained one specification
that { making partisan speeches. This
campaign finds Mr.. Villas himself upon
the stump making speeches for the Dem,
ocratiC party, and Mr.. Cleveland has no
word of protest. Cabinet officers can
leave their portfolios. subordinate officers
can leave their desks. and neglect the
