WASHINGTON CITY. July - In the senate
Yesterday. after the transaction of some rou-
tine business, the resolution to print 5,Wn
additional copies Of tn pensions committees
report on the subject OF vetoed pension hill
was taken up, the question being on Cock
reIfS amendment to print lOJ,0m copies Of
all Of President Clevelands pension vetoes.
Cockrall explained his object i'll having these
messages printed These veto messages OF
President Cleveland were excellent reading,
and the people were very anxious to read
them

tvs husband had ever drawn pension. He
advised the particular Iftc Barnacle OF tho

information to the president, to be a little
more prudent and crcumSpect in his lnvestl-

in reply to the presidents allegation tina
Mrs poherty was a lawiesS person, and had
been arrested frequently, and 1t showed, he
added, the extraordinary pains taken by thu

Mr.. Carnegie on the Krpubnran Pat
tae,n


This gentleman, who is just now coach
ing through Scotland with that eminent
friend of labor, Mr., Blsine, likes the
republican platform 1t is natural that
ne should like it. He is one of the
owners of one OF the biggest protected
industries in the United States the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works. Concerning this
institution Congressman Scott said: lone
of the members OF the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works, limited, admitted to me
within the past month, within 200 feet
of where now stand that Il statement
made by myself in the fall OF 1886 was
correct namely, that he drew out of the
company as dividends in one year the
sum of 81 500 600. the equivalent of So
900 per dav for 800 days in the year, and
this was but one member Of the firm, with
no statements of the profits undivided
No intelligent man will put the profits of
this company AT less than =, ouo.edo IN
prosperous years, and We will allow them
TO employ 800 wage workers" Mr.
Scott referred to Carnegie, the man
who likes" the republican plat
form. The gentleman attempts To deny
this statement, but he makes sad mess
of il. He denies that they drew the
money out, but he admits that 1t Wa
earned He SAYS that the money earned
has mainly gone into new and improved
works to develop still further the resour
ces of this great republic, which is bui
fine way OF saying that it has gone t.
still further develop Mr. Andrew Carne
gie's fat bank account He tells us fur
ther that he gave away - ,5pn0bo Il
found three public libraries OF cours
this came out of the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works II is not surprising thel
that he likes the republican platform
It is hardly to be supposed that MI
Carnegie pays more than the marke
price for labor. That price, the Who'll
country over, was in 1880, counting 70
working days to the year, $l.3l a da
for each workman in the iron and ste,
industry 1t doesn't make much diffel
euce at just what amount YOU put tt
wages Say they were So per day. Tht
is s. day for the toier and $4,000

You will not expect, nor would 1t be
proper that should follow the line of your
spokesmans remarks, or even allude to some
things that he has alluded to- but | will not
close without one word of compliment for
the soldiers of Illinois do not forget that
many of them like Logan-that fearless and
finest of volunteer Soldiers-at the beginning
of the war were not in sympathy with the
Republican national administration. You
had multitude OF soldiers besides Logan, one
of whom has been immortall2ed in poetry
Sergeant Tillman Joy-who put their politics
hy to keep till the war was through and
many, | may add, like Logan, when they
got home found new party associations.
But we do not limit our praise of the loyalty
and faithfulneSs of your soldiers to any
party lines for we realize that there We're
good soldiers who did resume their ante
politics when they came back from the
army To such we extend a comrades hand
always, and the free and untrammeied eNer-

1T happened during the war that three Ii

OuR morning contemporary assumes that
the veto by President Cleveland of the bill
to erect public building in the congress
sional district represented by Mr., Sowden
was to punish that gentleman for having
opinions ON the tariff not in accord with
those Of the President, We are not ad-
vised as to whether this assumption is au-
thorized or not, but the Post has some
ground for its conclusions in the personal
comfort letter written by Gov. Cleveland

be applied TO all the members Of Congress

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN this morning
comes ably to the support of the proposition
to locate the new city postofllce on Judiciary
square. 1t is an eligible site already to
hand, and the critic has more than once
suggested that the better way to settle an
apparently inteminable quarrel as to loca-
tion would be TO select the south front of
this reservation, We shall continue to in
sist, however, that If it comes to this the
location shall be made with reference TO
the erection Of the future city hall and Dis
trict buildings on the same square. That
is, the postoilice should be placed on the
southwest corner the court house in the
center and the District buildings on the
southeast, all TO be built separately, yet of
such architectural design as to make OF the
three buildings symmetrical and haTmo-
niOus whole 1t would thus add largely to
the popularity and beauty of the square as a
resort, and leave twelve to fifteen acres Of

q wonderful future for the great west.
Mai. Powell says that there are 100000
square miles Of arid lands that would be
valuable if water could be obtained to
irrigate them. lie further shows that there
are 100000 square miles of land with an
average rain fall of fifteen inches per year,
which can be utilized to reclaim these arid
lands, If all that falls in this area could be
stored and saved It would give double the
amount necessary to make arabic all the
arid lands, lie submits an estimate show
ing that a system Of reservoirs that would
bring the waters Of the larger streams under
control would reclaim 10000 square miles

IT is reported that Prince Bismarck made

How could forget the speech made in ST.

guilty OF treachcry II ever dreamed of hos
tiity 10 Russia. If, however, Prince Alex
ander would give an official or even semi
official expression 10 his alleged resolve TO re-
nomco the Bulgarian throne once and for
ever, should be the first to counsel my august
sovereign TO sanction the match,
This is entirely consistent with what Bis
marck has said in his recent public utter
anccs so far as Russia is concerned He has
reiterated again and again that friendly re-
lations existed between Germany aud Rus
sia, and that he did not desire to see any
thing done to disturb this peaceful situation
While he may not have used the ey""t
