TAKE THE EARTH.

Now come the ex-soldiers with the
modest proposition that the govern
ment will give to each quarter sec
ton of land, lay out and construct the
highways. build the schoolhouses, erect
for each a dwelling house, provide
him with team, agricultural
implements, seed, etc. The scheme is
outlined in New York telegram this
morning. 1t is presumed from this
that the soldiers begin to think that
perhaps the pension business has been
worked for all that can be gotten out of
it, hence this new scheme for reward
ing patriotism. Of course, a man
who will suggest that perhaps the
veterans are crowding the cattle some
what, will be denounced as lacking in
every sense of justice and patriotism,
and as being little else than an avowed
traitor to his. country; and a party
which intimates its belief that justice to
others than those who wore the blue
might possibly suggest that this last de-
mand on the nations generosity is in
the nature of hoggishness and
will be promptly repudiated by
he soldier vote" Politicians
and people have been so often
threatened with annibilation and
charged with ingratitude when
hey have mildly suggested the
bare possibility of the defenders of the
Union being in the least degree greedy,
hat perhaps this latest demand for
more will not be opposed; but we are
Inclined to believe that some will find
he courage to ask if this sort of thing
hasn't gone about far enough. There
s such thing as riding free horse TO
leath, and it begins to look as if a Ger
ain class of soldiers were trying it on.

bsr Unfortunately for the statistician,
bis figures of the electoral votes are er-
roneous, and he is reckless in giving to
the Republicans states which are as
certain to vote for the Democratic
nominee as day is TO follow night, Vir-
ginia and New York being two OF such
States. AS for the 6rst named, it may
be internally divided, but it is certain
to stand firm for Democracy in the IA

safely counted for Cleveland as Iowa and
Kansas can for his opponent. There is a
"solid south" with 153 electoral votes
for the Demscatic nomination, and New
York adds to these SO, making 1s9 OF
the 201 necessary to elect. It will be
strange indeed if the remaining u votes
cannot be gained from the Is in Demo-
cratic Indiana, the 8 in Democratic New
Jersey, and the 6 in Connecticut, to say
nothing of in Cali ornia, and the 8
each in Oregon and Nevada, in all three
of which States Mr.. Cleveland has an
equal chance with any Republican who
can be named.

GOULD'S MISTAKE.
THE HERALD.
Salt Lake City, Utah.

The newspapers which are pattinf
Mr.. Jay Gould on the back approvingly
because of his recent attack on Mr..
James Gordon Bennett, it occurs to US,
are not friends of tae great fnancier.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Gould was greatly
aggravated by the attack OF the New
York Herald. It's criticisms were severe
in the extreme, and were intended
to penetrate his euticle if it
were as thick as the hide
of rhinoceros. But when
Mr.. Gould got down to fineing
mud, and mud of the filthiest character,
he must have lost his own self-respect.
In column OF nastiness such as clean
men do not care to handle, he assslls
Mr.. Bennett in the style of the true
blackguard, among other things charg-
ing drunkenness, immortality, gross in
decency of personal conduct, and so on.
The proprietor of the Herald may or
he may not be guilty of the offenses
charged; he may or he may not grovel
in vice; he may or he may not answer
to the awful indictment presented; but
it should have bsen beneath Mr.. Gould
to stoop to this style of fighting. Some
friend should have advised Gould that
if Bennett were the lecherous thing
that he describes, the fact would not
disprove the allegation that he (Gould)
stole railroads, plundered widows and
orphans, wrecked banks and broke
spectators. Somebody should have
said to the great financial monarch of
the age that it was no answer to the
New York HcrdldS criticisms to allege
all sorts OF bea stiality against the pro-
prietors of that mighty journal. AS it
did not occur to Gould that his letter
would bring him to the level of black
guard, the fact should have been i'm
pressed upon him by some friend who
was cool enough IN the controversy to
retain possession of his wits. Further
more, - Gould himself should have
known that when he ceased to be clean
and digni6ed he would be the loser IN
the strife.
1t Is observed that several of the
newspapers are praising Mr.. Gould for
laying out'' Mr.. Bennett, for giving
him dose of his own medicine and
so on, and one influential journal says
that Gould is on top" IN the con-
troversy. 1t was doubtless the advice
of these unwise editors which Mr..
Gould acted upon. As for laying out"
Mr.. Bennett, Mr.. Gould and all his mil
lions are powerless to injure the Herald;
its power and influence are greater than |
those of a hundred or a thousand |
Goulds, and sll the charges they may
prefer against Bennett cannot silence
the paper or disproVe anything it may |
utter.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Gould |
perpetrated this mistake. He has hurt
himself more than he has injured James
Gordon Bennett, and has not helped his
own canse in the least.

Murder and Suicide.

BERLIN. Wis, Feb. IA terrible tragedy was
enacted in this city last evening, J. w Hacker. of
Danville, ILL.,, shooting and killing Mabel Steike,
of Belle PLANE, Ia, and then blowing out mis- own
brains. Hacker was nineteen years old and his
victim year younger. The tragedy is the re-
suit of love trouble. It seems that young
Hacker and Miss Stelke met some time ago and
fell in love with one another. The marriage WAS
opposed by the girls parents, and to separate
the young people she was sent to Berlin to visit
at the home of her grandfather. In some man
ner Hacker learned of the girls whereabouts
and Appeared in Berlin on the 31st ult. He took
rooms at q hotel, but taken down with
measles. when Miss Steike prevailed on her
grandparents to take the young man under their
roof About $50 last night the young man called
the girl from the freside the door of his room,
when the tragedy occurred. The family rushed
to the scene upon hearing the pistol shots, and
found young Hacker dead and the unfortunate
girl in dying condition. She survived only
few moments after the shooting. 1t is thought
Hacker asked Miss Steike to marry him, and or
being refused took her life and his own in the
frenzy of distraction.

DEPENDENT PENSIONS

IF Congress Passes Bill It VIII Not Be-
Vetoed by the Presidents.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14-An agitator of sol-
diers' interests and pension legslation--a man
who has been working actively in the depart
ments and before Congress for several weeks
past-gave me this bit Of interesting gossip to-
day:
"If Congress passes another dependent PEN
sion bill the President will sign it. Mrs. Cleve-
land has brought about his change of heart
She is the politician Of the household, and has
shown her husband the unwisdom of vetoing =
bill for soldiers. The President is anxious Tor
the passage of the dependent pension bill, SO
that he viii have an opportunity to redeem
himself. But he will not make friends with the
soldiers il he does sign the BILL as it will simply
do it, together with tho desire to strengthen
himself as a presidential candidate. The Presi-
dent would also be inclined to sign the bill boz
cause he feels that Congress would pass it
ever his veto.
