The Grand Army of the Republic
has all along taken an honorable and
patriotic stand on the pension question
now pending in Congress. All that is
asked Of Congress is that the govern
ment should provide a reasonable COM
pensation to the men who risked their
lives and who are not able to earn their
living on account Of the disabilities re-
ceived in the war. 1t is due to bun
combe politicians that extravagant
claims are tackled to the bill in order
to kill it Topeka Capital.

The Democrats on the ways and
means committee have resolved to vote
down any amendment to their pet Tar
if Bill offered by the Republicans on
the committee. The probability is that
tie Republicans Of the House, aided by
Mr. Randall and a few other American
Democrats, will be able to prevent the
crushing of our industries and the des-
truction of our home markets, notwith-
standing a majority of the Democrats
in the House may favor the mills

The old issues are dead. The past
IS dead 1t is The Charleston News
Courier that makes this admission,
and the fact that it does SO will create
good deal of surprise. When last
heard from, it was making faces at
General Sherman, and not long ago it
was helping General Rosser build a
barbed wire fence around the valley of
the Shenandoah for the purpose Of
keeping out General Sheridan.

1t is alleged to be true that no pOliti-
cal combination ever formed by the
third party prohibitionists has resulted
in the triumph Of temperance princi-
pies. Whether through misfortune, the
ayarice of some of its leaders, or thro'
ignorance, the weight of the third
party has always been against the
party most nearly allied to the pre-
tended object of the existence
of the third party. All that has been
done for prohibition in Kansas is due
wholly to the Republican party. Re
publican votes adopted the amend
ment, Republican votes have enacted
every prohibitory law on our statute
books, and Republican officials have en-
forced our prohibitory laws, and Repub-
lican speakers have nodded a popular
sentiment throughout the state in favor
OF prohibition, which is now so univers-
al that the Democrats are falling into
the ranks of of prohibitionists and the
probability is that hereafter no party
organization will favor re-submiSsion
nor denounce the Law as failure
Yet in the face of this grand work
done by the Republicans for the cause
of temperance. there are few mis-
guided individuals who imagine that
the cause of prohibition demands a
third party. The demand comes from
the Democratic party, and the enemies
of temperance,
