right by amending the law so as to grant $72
month to all who, since June 10, $780, have
become so disabled as torequire the constant
aid and attendance of second person.
The Secretary pays deserved compliment
to Assistant Secretary Bussey for his zeal and
ability, and his successful efforts to liberaIize
the practice of the Department. so as to afford
each soldier the fullest opportunity to estab-
iish his claim with strict OBJ
servance of the spirit and intent of the law
maintaining always the integrity of the
statute while giving the claimant the benefit
of every reasonable doubt"
The dishonorable discharge decision is
shown to be in strictest accordance with the
law, and recommendation is made that n
law be passed absolutely prohibiting the
allowance of pension to anyone dishonor-
ably discharged.
The Secretary concludes his discussion of
pension matters by strongly urging the pass
age of law which will effectually stop the
practice of making cases Especial" except
where there is utter dcstitution, or the
prospect of early death" He says that it {" is
IN violation of the plainest principles of
justice, where so many applicants are abiding
their time, patiently waiting the action of
the Pension Bureau, that anyone should be
allowed, through any influence whatever, TO
take undue precedence of his comrades, or
of his comrades relatives, and have claim
given to him while they must await. not
only their turn, but have that turn DELAYED
by the very preference granted

mental in precipitating great war had so
little excuse for it rs he did no man ever
showed less commiseration for his dcluded
followers; no one ever appeared so diaboli-
cally heartless as to the results Of his machi-
nations; no one ever showed so little inter
est in repairing the enormous damage which
had been done He seemed to glory in the
misery and ruin he had wrought, and had
only bitterness and reproach for every effort
to raise his section from the deplorable con-
dition into which he had plunged it. In the

the war he uttered no word of encourage

OUR NEW NAVY.

Secretary Tracy speaks out strongly in
his report in favor Of sufficient Navy. He
thinks it absurd for us TO pose as a naval
power with only six armored and 81 mar
mored vessels with which TO defend coast
line of $4,000 miles, upon which are more
than 20 great cepters of population, wealth
and commercial activity" We must have
not only unarmored cruisers, such as we are
now building, but heavily-armored battle
ships, which will, meet an enemy's fleet off
our ports and beat them back, or raise block
AIDES if such are attempted. Either we
should have navy strong enough to protect
our coast, or We should not have any at all.
powerful navy docs not mean u policy of
military ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1t is simply an
insurance of our property and trade. The
annual increase of wealth in this country
equals that of Great Britain, Germany and
France combined, and we must protect this
from any possible contingency. A sufficient
navy is cheap price to pay for safety. We
cannot begin its construction too soon. If
we begin to build ships now, with all rea-
sonable speed it will be at least 10 years
before we can complete what we should have
There is no forecasting what need we NAV
have for navy any year, and six months of
hostilities would result in inestimable dam
age to our unprotected coasts.
His idea ola proper navy is 30 battleships.

A Feat in RailroadinS.

The Congress Of American States
met at the National Capitol yester-
day. Tomorrow the foreign dele
gates will start on tour of the coun-
try, under escort of the United States
delegates. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road will then attempt feat in raul
reading that has never been accom-
plished, the opportunity being afford
ed by the Governments acceptance of
the company's offer to furnish trans
portation facilities to the delegates.
1t will send locomotive and train
OF seven cars over the proposed route
OF the excursion, total distance OF
5,4O6 miles without the slightest
change from the original mako up of

1t is the unanimous opinion OF Tus-

and unfairness in ignoring the Tusca-
rora Guards in the military muster to

local company is as we'll drilled and

any in the State and certainly the
Nevada militia is not of such gigantic
dimensions, numerically, that any
company could we'll be spared il it

Opening Day.

The opening day Of the Fifth An
nual Fair was marked by beautiful
weather, good crowd Of people and
very satisfactory and exciting races.
Everybody was in good humor and
wished the Society a good week, and
the outlook is exceedingly, favorable
for a delightful lot of fur and ex-
element.
The first race was the seven -eighths
dash between Billy d., Nerva, Condor
and Johnny Gray, and the knowing
ones got badly left. Nerva was
played for the favorite at $40 to 50
for all the others, but Johnny Gray
''scooped" them all in 1874.
The trotting race between Thap-
sian, Victor and Rabe was Won in
three straight heats by Thapsian,
without break, in 2:27I, 2:25k,
2:2614. Rabe won second money.
But the excitement of the day was
the dash Of a quarter between Mollie,
the Montana favorite, and Rondo, the
Austin horse. Pools sold even money
at the start, soon changing to Mollie
as a favorite, aud a great deal OF
money changed hands. Mollie had a
little the best Of the start, but the
race was won at the finish, Rondo
passing under the wire winner by a
head and amid loud cheering from
the multitude. The time was %,
within half second of the best time
on record. The two horses will prob
ably come together again during the
week. Reno Journal.
