FROM INDEPENDENCE TO BouRBoN1sM

No doubt there may be a good deal of
foundation for the Democratic attacks on
the political sincerity and past record of
General Chalmers, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Mississippi, who has just
withdrawn from the canvass, on the claim
that be was prevented from holding Repub-
liean meetings; but such charges do not
debar him from the night to free discussion.
The right of all parties to free assemblage
and discussion is an essential element of
democratic government; and when it is as
serted that candidate has been driven out
of the field by attacks on this right it is an
impeachment on the republican liberty Of
Mississippi. To meet that assertion as the
once independent New York Post does,
by indiscriminate abuse of Chalmers,
is to sink into the utmost depths
of bourbonism. Perhaps nothing bet
ter was to be expected of Missis-
sippi Democracy; but the time has been
when some political intelligence might be
found in the columns Of the Post.

IT is interesting to observe the reappear-
ance of the argument that the swift ocean
steamers are the safest, because in case of
collision their superior speed win enable
them to run down the opposing vessels with
less damage to themselves. The people on
the other vessel, as they sink beneath the
waves, can comfort themselves with the
thought that the people on the steamer are
all right.

WHY THE SOUTH WAS OMITTED.
BALTIMORE, Nd, october 1.-THE omis-
sion of the south in the present tour of del
egates to the Pan-American congress has
been so generally misunderstood that Mr..
Walker Blaine of the department of state,
writes to Mr.. r. H. Edmunds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, to the effect thatin
the original planning of the programme of
the convention it was intended to give the
delegates an excursion to the south, and in
his letter he says it is proposed to visit
southern states later ill the season, when
the weather will be more favorable and the
various and peculiar industries of those
states can be seen to better advantage. As
this nation covers an immense expanse of
territory, and as it is the desire that the
distinguished visitors shall be given an OPP
portunity to see it all, it was necessary to
divide tours and each section be visited
when its peculiar industries could be seen
to best advantage.

ABOUT PENSIONS.
THE PRESENT PENSION POLICY RE-
BUKED BY A POST OF
THE G.. A. X.
Annual Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Election of Tri-ennial Officers
by the Knights Templar.

New York, October 10.-The following
resolutions were adopted by N. L. Farnham
Post No 45S, G. A. R., at a meeting held
last night:
Whereas, it is apparent to this post that
the action of some government officials and
ill-considered talk of some popularity seek
ing legislators (notably Senator Ingalls,, of
Kansas in regard to the pension laws, are
calculated to do serious injury to the hardly
won reputation of good soldiers and to the
Grand Army; and
Whereas, The only veterans who are of
right entitled to pensions are those whose
pecuniary circumstances are so unfortu-
nate as to justify them in burdening the
country with their support and who
by wounds and disability incurred in the
service of the country as combatants, are
prevented from earning living in their re-
spective callings as they might have done
had such wounds or disabilities not been
incurred and,
Whereas, The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is an association organized for the pur-
pose OF enabling old soldiers to take care of
themselves and each other; and,
Whereas, AS much real patriotism may
be displayed by refraining in time of peace
from inticting unnecessary burdens on the
country, and by coming to her defense in
time of war; therefore, be it
Resolved, That any old soldier who APP
plies for or accepts pension except under
the conditions above set forth, is, in the
opinion Of this post guilty of conduct cal
culated to injure good men who were and
are willing to give their blood and their
lives for their country without any reward
beyond the approval of their own con-
sciences and that honorable fame which is
dear to every patriot and,
Resolved, That this post strongly con-
dennis any attempt to make use of the
Grand Army of the Republic for political
purposes or as an engine to aid in dissipat-
ing the surplus that has been accumulated
in the government treasury by unwise and
taxation.

thew heard the report of gun
and saw Taylor fall from his horse, and
when they reached him he was dead. The
load struck him in the breast, tearing
hole as large as mans fist. Taylor was a
nephew of Suggs by marriage. and was
formerly foreman on the ranch, but he
and his wife separated some weeks ago,
and he has not been in Suggs' employ since.
1t is said Suggs will come in and surrender
to the federal authorities at Paris Col. Suggs
is one of the best known cattlemeen
in Texas and has also large acquaintance In
Kansas City, Denver, st. Louis and Chicago;
Taylor was also cattle man and is well
known in Texas. His right name is said
to be Canterbury, and it is reported that he
killed man in Kansas several years ago,
made his escape to the Panhandle country
and was afterwards arrested, taken back
and acquitted. He changed his name to
TAYLOR when he came to Texas, and he was
generally known by that name.

to March 81, end of the fiscal year, aggre-
gate $67,9l5. This is nearly $4,000 more
than was received last year. Besides there
is a pledge fund of $li,O42. There was dis
tributed of the fund and kindred sources
aid to 3S2 churches and parsonages in
twenty-siX states aud territories. Tennes-
see had thirty churches and one parsonage

d. NJ. Smith, business manager of the
publishing house, was present and pre-
sented a statement from the report of the
agent that the total business last year was
$3.50 54l, showing an increase over last year
of $140S2.
From the above volume of business we
have net gain of $56234. OF the bonds
outstanding April l, 1888, $15, 700. We have
cancelled during the year $3950, leaving
still outstanding bonds to the amount of
$l1, $50. Besides the foregoing the agent
set apart $12,5O0 to be distributed among
superannuated preachers and widows and
orphans of deceased ministers. The circu-
lation of Sunday school literature is now
