PENSIONS.

The Tribune endorses the presi-
dents veto Of the dependent pension
bill, and thinks the great majority
OF old soldiers take the same view.
The old soldiers voice on this sub
ject has been recorded in the various
Grand Army posts Of the country.
As a rule, regardless Of whether post
members are pensioners or not, they
have condemned the presidents veto.
The Tribune claims to know pen
sioners who do not deserve pen
sion. It would be strange, indeed, if
a pension system so extensive as our
own were free from abuses. It is
within the knowledge Of that paper,
we presume, that, for every pension
er who does not deserve his pension,
there are dozen veterans not draw
ing pensions who do deserve them.
But, in order to cure the present de-
fects in our pension system, reach all
deserving veterans, and create ba-
sis Of money circulation in every
neighborhood in the country, the
WORLD is an advocate of a service
pension for every Union soldier who
served faithfully for the period Of
ninety days. To bounty jump
ers, deserters and skulkers nobody
can be more opposed than we are.
And why should not the general
pensioning Of the meritorious SOL
diers Of the republic be adopted? If
the Revolutionary soldiers created
the republic, the Union soldiers
saved it. Is not, therefore, one set
Of these equally deserving with the
other. Did not a general pension
bill go to make happy the declining
years Of Revolutionary soldiers?
The American soldiery Of 1912 stood
guard over the country's interests.
A general pension bill was passed for
their sake. The war of the United
States with Mexico never did have a
respectable standing in the civilized
events of the world; yet, with the
exception Of that murderous traitor,
Jefferson Davis, the American SOL
diers who warred with Mexico are
the benefciries Of general pension
law.
England, we will suggest to the
Tribune, expects to live by keeping
up an immense standing army and
navy. She can not afford to be
equally generous with the United
States. Why, our government, by
supporting merely nominal army
and navy, saves enough every year,
in comparison with what England
on her military and marine,
to defray the expenses of paying
every deserving late war vet
eran a service pension. This dis
plays in bold relief the fact that our
government is now paying out more
pension money than England pays |
is not to the injury Of our own
country.

A Hungry Pack.

The disgraceful scene at Chicago on
the night of the Goth inst, when a
number of delegates got into fight
and chairs, tables, niggers, candidates,
delegates, guns and sons of guns got
mixed up with policemen and nasal
gore in meeting before the commit
tee on credentials, only goes to show
the straits to which that party is
brought; only demonstrates the fact
that the very worst class of political
leaders were successful in getting in a
positian to name the republican candi-
dates.

Sol Miller's Opinion.

Some thimble heahed sons of great
men put on heap of dog ON the rep
utation of their fathers. The tele-
graph relates that Walker Blaine os-
tentatiously appeared at the Gresham
headquarters in Chicago, signed the
roll and remarked in answer to some
thing said about the great enthusiasm
still Astounding for his father, that it
was unauthorized and that he did not
approve of it and that he hoped that
there would be no more of it for his
father was out of the race. We Won
der if the snot nose thinks that they
were hurrahing for his father in order
to please him. Somebody ought to spit
in his face, OF take fullhanded grip:on
his ear and lead him out.-Troy Chief.

Friday Evening Reception.

On last Friday evening quite num-
Der of our citizens gathered at the NJ.
E. church to do honor to Mother Bick-
erdyke, well known in the history of
the war of the rebellion as one of the
faithful and energetic hospital nurses.
w. II. Odell was made chairman Of
the meeting and Mother Bickerdyke,
Grandma Moses, Commander Clark, of
the G. "A. r., Mayor A. J. auckland
and Rev. r. M. Watson were called to
the platform. a select choir sang My
Country, IT'S of Thee" and Rev. Wat
son offered prayer, after which Mayor
auckland delivered very neat address
of welcome on the part of Barton coun-
ty and the city of Great Bend. Com
mander j. w. Clark delivered few
well selected words of welcome on be-
half of Pap Thomas post, G. a. r.
Mother Bickerdyke was then presented
to the audience and gave some very in
teresting hospital "reminiscences. Her
remarks were well taken, but with due
difference to all the good deeds done by
the respected meritorious lady, we
think she struck the wrong key when
she said she objected to unity of the
blue and the gray" that she for one
could not forgive and forget" After
the address by the visiting lady, the
choir sang ''Tenting on the old camp
ground" and Grandma Moses ad
dressed the meeting. She was followed
by d. NJ. WOODBURY., and he by county

Democracy and Crime:

We propose, in this article, to show
that where crime and outlawry are in
the ascendancy there democracy pre-
walls. The outlawry that has existed
in some counties in Kentucky, in the
past year, has been disgrace to civil
zation. Kentucky, as everybody knows.
is very Gibraltar of democracy. Let
us take it by counties. The counties
that have been chiefly afflicted in this
way are Breathitt, Rowan, Bockcastle,
Greenup, Carter, Boyd and Bell. Here
is Breathitt, 400 majority for Cleve-
land. See! We told you so. Rowan,
so majority for Blaine. Well that is
close and doesn't prove anything.
Rockcastle, 200 republican. Hello!
must be some mistake. Boyd, Carter.
Greenup, each 200 republican majority.
Well there are exceptions to all rules.
Let us get down to Bell. What have
you got to say about Bell? Bell, 800
republican majority. Just what we
said precisely. Rascality and outlawry
haYe nothing to do with politics.

Protection, the Enemy Of Wages.

Protection, the Enemy Of Wages.
Statistics, whether taken in mass or
in details, establish the fact thus adj
mitted so clearly, that none but
thoroughly dishonest advocates Of pro-
lection pretend any longer to dispute
it. The value of production per hand,
in all the combined metal and textile
industries, in 1880, was, in America,
81 1854, and in England, only $3.50.
Thus the value of each American work
man to his employer was 100 per cent.
greater than the value of each English
man; yet the utmost claim which can
be made as to difference in ways is that
made by Senator Chace, to-wit, 81
per cent. It is we'll known that the
real difference does not exceed As per
cent. But in any case, it is certain
that the American employer, after pay
ing so per cent. higher wages, is still so
per cent. better off, on the labor item,
than his English competitor Thomas
g. Sherman in BeLford'S Magazine, for

attourney Elrick Cole. w. W. Stewards
was then called upon, and responded.
He said there was no offending of the
blue and the gray with him; he
wasn't going to pull no pOsies to put
on no rebel feller's graves" that he
didn't expect to meet any of the rebel
fellers in heaven;" (no danger, Wash
if you get there the ''Other fellers'll
vamoose.') Mr.. Stewards also volun-
teered the information that he would
''never forgive the rebel fellers as
what shot his five cousins" and mo
shake across no graves" for him. The
choir sang a few national airs, there
were few other short talks, and the
meeting adjourned.
We were very we'll entertained, and
took pleasure in assisting the citizens
of Great Bend to honor a lady who did
noble work in the times when brave
women were needed. Still we regret
to state that the attempt was made to
make republican capital out of the
meeting by arranging the north
against the south and fighting over
again the war of the rebellion. We
can not see how republicans can
consistently censure southern people
for doing honor to dead and living
confederate soldiers, when they Of the
north express such bitter feelings Of
resentment against the conquered and
subjugated foe.
