Democratic War on Sam Randall.

Washington advices are to the import
that outside of the majority of the Ways
and Means Committee there is in the Demo-
cratic ranks decided revolt among sugar
and wool men, which Scott has been try
ing to heal by talking about his own self
sacrifices. He admits plainly that he is
disguised with Randalrs friends in the
South, and he tries to work off the admin
istration opposition to Randall upon them
in this way. In an interview few days
since Scott said:
1.-The Republicans will do everything they
can to delay final vote on the tariff until after
our convention, June 8. We on the other
hand will try to pass the measure in some
form as early in May as possible, so as to
give the Senate time to tackle it. We will
then take action in the convention on the
party's work on the tariff. Mr.. Randall, with
bis Republican protectionists, may be able to
repeat the tactics of last session, but don't
think he would dare to delay final action on
the bill.
at is an open secret that Randall is in bad

The Dead Lion and the Living Ass

The country has had quite too much of
Adam Badcau. He can never live long
enough nor blus;er loud enough to make the
the author of his own memoirs. The only
effect Badcau's course can have is to con
vince people that the dead hero, because of
his simplicity of character. his great goodness
of heart, and what he believed to he loyalty
10 friends, persuaded his to tolerate such II
coarse, ungrateful, bombastic human
nuisance as Badeau proved himself to be
many months after he should have kicked
him out of his presence. " y. Press.
The above, from the new and ably con-
Quoted Republican newspaper, is severe,
but no more so than the truth of facts
fully iustities. 1t requires great self-con-
troll not to burst out in hotter blasts of
Indignation against the fagitious offence
which Badeau has committed against
common decencv. The Press adds. that
Zone need but read the letters which he
has been giving the public the past year
to become convinced that private con
tidence, the sanctity of the grave, the
inner home life of his dearest friend and
consistent patron, he regards as mere
literary merchandise to be peddlcd out by
him at so much column" Compared with
such conduct the occupation of the COM
mon scavenger is honorable.

THE PRESIDENTS PENSION VIZ
TOES.

THE PRESIDENTS PENSION VIZ
TOES.
The Republican party is banking to q
large extent on President CLEyELAND's
pension vetOes, which are expected TO aid
considerably in the lassOing of the soldier
vote in the next campaign. As the Presi-
dent has recently sent in fresh batch Of
yetOes, and the Republicans will soon be
endeavoring to enrage the Union veteran
against the President by means Of these
vetoes, 1t may be as well to refer to the
reasons given for them. A bill granting
a pension to one HANNAH G. DEWITT is
vetoed on the very satisfactory ground
that HANNAH, thanks to bill signed by
the President about a month ago, is al
ready drawing q pension, and this bill is
q precise duplicate of the former. No
comment is necessary on this fragrant ex-
ample of the carelessneSs Of pension legis-
lation.
Another case is that of MORRIS 7. MAN
TOR, who filed an application for pension
eight years ago, alleging dropsy and dis
ease of the eyes, caused by an explosion Of
ammunition. After many critical exsmi-
nations it has been aseertained that his eyes
were sore long before his enlistment and at
the last examination he attempted to intiu-
e1ce witnesses in their testimony. Besides,
he was not suffering from dropsy. Next
comes WILLIAM II. BROCEENsHAw, who
was in the service for only three months at
the close of the war and did not have any
actual fighting to do. He says that he was
injured in the ribs on the day he joined his
regiment by some other recruits who were
scuillng in his room. He never felt the
Injury until eighteen years after. WILL
IAN II. BRIMMER complains that when he
was in the army he was made to carry
SACKS Of corn, which resulted in rupture on
the right side. Nearly twenty-three years
after his dicharge he made the discovery Of
the rupture, but the doctors failed to make
the same discovery. PHILIP QUIeaLE
died in 1882, from BEight's disease, and
his widow asks for pension because he
had been troubled with rheumatism and
kidney disease since he had been IN the ser
vice. Before and after enlistment QUIG-
GLE drank to excess and the doctors tssti-
fed unfavorably as TO his claim Of having
contracted the disease while in the army.
WILLIAM p. wIrf applied for q pension
twenty years after he was mustered out on
the ground that he incurred chronic diar-
rbpa, liver disease, rheumatism and deaf
ness during his hundred days term of ser
vice. No proof was given to show that he
any sickness in the army.
Such are specimens Of the fraudulent
pension bills sent 10 the President and
hulIabaloo is raised because his duty COM
nails him 10 veto them. The trouble Is
That such bills are rushed through Con-
zress without any one looking at them,
here being quiet understanding on the
subject called courtesy" which prevents.
e makes not the slightest difference to the
accommodating Senators and Representa-
ives that there is a pension cffies with
,sllant Union soldier at its head, where all
hese bogus claims may be examined and !
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1888-05-05

exposed. The entire responsibility is laid
on the shoulders of the President. When
he takes the trouble to enquire into those
claims and shows their utter worthless
ness, a great outcry is made that he is the
enemy of the Union veteran! Not word
IL said about the numerous pension bills
he signs. although they are more numerous
than those sigued by any former Republic
can President.

Hsrpsr's Ferry's Boom.

Special TSLsgrum 10 tAs Register.
HARPER's FERRY, May Another
boom struck this town on yesterday. Mr..
Thomas H. Savoy set q large force of men
to work on the Potomac property making
excavations for the foundation of q large
pulp and paper mill. 1t is said that they
are to be very extensive and will give en-
ployment to great many people. This
enterprise on the Potomac, taken in con-
nsetiOn with the paper mill which Mr..
savoy Is to erect on the Shenandoah after
the litigation between himsel and the Hsr-
per's Ferry Mill Company is settled, will
have the effect OF putting the town where
il was before the war. Those who seem 10
know say that but for the hanging fire Of
his case in the U. S. Court, Mr.. Savoy
would have built a $500, 900 paper mill on
the Shenandoah this summer.
