If they escaped wounds they left thu

tered It.
But thousands upon thousands Of this
class OF soldiers had sown in their sys-
TENS the seeds OF disease-malarial or
chronic disorders-which have cropped
out in later years to their discomfort and
positive disability. 1t is difficult to Sc
cure the direct evidence required under
the present law to trace the origin OF
their disease to their period Of Govern
ment service, So when they are over
come by insidious forms Of physical dis.
temper they are unable to procure pen
sions, and must become paupers or OBJ.
jects of private charity.
General Harrison would have every
such man made eligible to place on the
pension list, and the country will say
amen to that proposition. The men who
escaped the casualties OF battle only Ia
fall victims to broken down constitu'
tions or disordered physical functions
are quite as deserving objects OF Gov
eminent pensions as those who were di.
rectly crippled by shot or shell. The
objection that the pension list is costly
and is increasing is the cry Of sordid'
ness and selfishness. When the Nation
fate trembled in the balance no promise
was considered too great to be made tC
those who went to its rescue, and Presi-
dent Harrison is right when he says that
not one man of all that vast army should
be allowed to come to want, however in
directly chargesble to the war his disa
bility may be. 1t is, in fact, the honor
of the Nation that is concerned in max

HARRISON AND THE VETERANS,

President Harrison's way of dealing
with the pension question commends
itself to the common sense, the patriot
ism and the sentiment Of the country, as
we'll as to the feeling among the veter
ans Of the late war that the honor OF the
Government IS involved in the necessity
Of providing for their INDECENT or help
less comrades. In a word, General Har-
rison would let no old soldier become a
public charge or the beneficiary of pri-
vate charity. His own experience as a
commander has given him views upon
the subject Of pensions that are practical
The best soldiers in the army, according
10 the testimony Of general officers, were
the young men ranging from l9 to %
years OF age. The hardships Of severe
campaigning were borne by them with

THE EFFECTS OF CHANGE.

Massachusetts, changed the greater
part of her delegation to the House of
Representatives at the last election and
now the State is TO take back seat on
the committees of that body. The cor
respondent of the Boston Journal ex-
plains how this all happens as follows !:
'If the people of Massachusetts are
not satisfied that that great Common
wealth is to be without representation
on the Committee of WAYS and Means,
they will, perhaps, not regret to be re
minded that the condition of promi-
nence in legislation at the National Cap
ital on the part of any State is that eff
cient Representative shall be given long
terms of service. The prestige which
Massachusetts, has had in some of the
notable years that are gone was due mot
only to the conspicuous ability Of many
of her Representatives in the Lower
House, but to the fact,a as well that those
efficient Representatives we're continued
in Office for long series of years. Charles
Sumner, Henry Wilson, Gov. Boutwell,,
Representatives Dawes and Hoar, John
d. Long, and all the long and brilliant
line, were not Representatives for one
Congress only. The States which have
influence in legislation are those States
which do not send their Representatives
to the foot of the class to begin career
anew every two years. Take for in
stance the city Of Philadelphia. Her
representatives are first carefully chosen
and then retained. General Bingham
has served 10 years; Alfred Harmer, Is;
Charles O'Neil, 20; Sam Randall, 28, and
Judge Kelley, 30, without counting their
antecedent service in the State, and
every one of the five is reelected and
ought to be. There is probably no leg
islative body in the world where expert
ence and familiarity with rules and
methods mean so much as in the Ma
tional House Of Representatives. An
ordinary Congressman in his first term
counts for his single vote. A man of
unusual ability is condemned to be q
passive spectator of legislative proceed
ings until he has learned the business Of
a legislator aud secured the right to rec
ognltion from the Chair.
Districts in which the vicious prac-
tice prevails of rotating their Congress
men thereby condemn themselves to
perpetual insignificance, as far as their
representation in Congress goes. Even
in such minor matters as appropriations
for public buildings and improvements
in their districts they voluntarily place
themselves at great disadvantage be-
cause of the slight influence of their
agents in the House.
The aggregate years of service of these
five Philadelphia members is 10 years,
or an average Of % years for each men,
Der.
This is in strong contrast, for in
stance, with the present representation
from the city Of Boston,"

NEWS AND NOTES.

APP opos to a column or more Cf tele-
grapnIc news which appeared in Satur-
days papers, the following despatch
from New York, under date of Monday,
explains There lie great sensation,
especially in Roman Catholic circles,
over the story that the Pope proposed 10
back vast financial concern located in
this city with 800 900 900 capita, which
was to invest the funds of the church in
American securities. Archbishop Cor
rigan was thrown into a paroxysm Of
anger this morning, when his attention
was called to the matter. He denounced
the story as a pure fabrication, and did
not hesitate to say that the originator Of
it was consummate liar, as was also
the man, Col. G. w. c. Laybourn, who
was reputed to be at the head of the
scheme, and travelling round the coun-
try with the Papal benediction In his
pocket. The whole thing is a gigantic
scheme of swindllng. have never, in
any shape or form, given any sanction
or countenance to Mr.. Laybourn'S
scheme. Mr.. Eugene Kelley, Mr.. hog.
net and Mr.. James Lynch, who have
been mentioned in connection with the
matter, all OF them state most positively
hat they would never approve 1t. The
story that have had friends in the Vat
i;an pushing the scheme is an unmiti-
gated falsehood. This Papal benedic-
ton does not amount 10 anything. Il 10

at the Chancery and any one who wishes
to buy one fills it out for himself and his

simply says :: George W. Cameron and

they are. The New York Press re-
marked IN advance Unquestionably
the "news of the day is the disclosure
Of an enterprise, 'apostolically blessed"
with the capital OF 800, 200 900, looking
to the establishment Of banks and truats
throughout the world by men high in
the confidence Of che Papal authorities
in Rome. There are two sides to that
as to all great questions, and one most
infelIcitous feature is the certain ex-
element Of 80 called religious" feeling
for and against the project. 1t is too
serious matter to be discussed in par
agraph. Many will undoubtedly regard
it as the first step toward an ultimate
certainty Of fanatical disturbance in this
land, which is not quite as free to-day as
1t was in other times, and which will be
indeed sad home when it's laws are die
tsted by fsnaticism Its money controlled
by foreign power, and its industries
cramped by eectarian influence. The
chief difficulty with this "newsn Is that
it isn't new and has no basis in fact.
