IN It's criticism upon recent article
of the LIGHT, anent party tests, the
Galveston News says:
Nevertheless the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution was a strictly
party measure. So indeed, were the
first amendments, embody ing the
leading principles of de mocracy and
doctrines of the federalists.
Very true, but support of these
amendments was not made a test of
party featly until the amendments
were passed upon. The democratic
convention at San Antonio, whose
act was under review, refused to de-
clare that the commission p lank was
not test Of party fealty.

The new universal comprehen-
sive, personal option, back action,
repeating and far reaching pension
bill is little too much for the Buff
falo Express, Republican paper,
which breaks out in this reasonable
style-that is, when a Democratic
paper talks this way, it is accused Of
disloyalty:
The conference pension bill is not
born of patriotism and justice, nor
is it based on principles of good
government. The Republican par
ty, it is urged, stands pledged to dc
Justice to the soldier. Do pension

The nation owes something to
posterity as well as to soldiers who
never received any injury during the
war or widows who married ninety
day soldiers since the war closed.
The men who lost their lives, limbs
or health, or who received any in
jury whatever in serving their coun.
try are already on the rolls. The
people pay cheerfully millions Of
dollars every year to such men and
to their widows But this is a rad
ical innovation on the whole theory
of pension-giving. It opens the
door for frauds innumerable and
puts premium on the zeal of pen
sion agents and the too-willing affi-
davit-making of the pensioner.
What chance for swearing is there
in the case of man attempting to
prove that the disability which he
received after the war closed is not

Democratic platform)s If it does
not denounce the platform then you
haze certainly made false charge
against myself and Bro. {. S. Hall.
l have before me the Democratic
platform and I find in it a part of our
demands. I will state some of them:

tering faith in the principle of the

laid down in the platform, that you
take the liberty to speak thus our
demands (that is the F. l. L. Z. de-
mands)e Let us quietly look for
truth for false show will do no
good. The Democratic platform Of
Missouri says: 1--WE are opposed to

trusts. Equal and Just taxation Of

government" Are not these prin.
eiples in our demands? Most assur-
edly they are, you cannot deny this
truth. Look further on. It says:
eve condemn the the present sysz
tenn of tariff taxes" Do not our de-
mands say the same. It wants the
tariff taken off of the necessities of
life and placed on luxuries. Are not
these our demandse 1t says, 1--WE
are in favor of free coinage Of stl-
ger" SO says our demands. The
public land, the heritage of the peo-
pie, should be held for the actual
settlers, not another acre to rail.
roads or spectators. Is not this
one of our demands. We favor the
unearned lands granted to railroads
and corporation being forfeited to
the government and opposed to al
lens owning land in this govern
ment. Instead of the F. & L. U.
demands denouncing the Democrat.

form is made and formulated out of
the F. & L. U. demands. Now, my

Ex-President Cleveland Calls on the
People to act.

A strong letter from ex-President
Cleveland to Tammany, on the occa-
sion Of the 4tL of July celebration, in
which he calls on tie people to act,
in reference to the Federal Election
scheme now ag;tasing congress:
! Ex-President CleveIand's letter
was sent from Mariou Mass. In it
after expressing his regrets, he said:
''The celebration contemplated by
your ancient and time honored organi-
zation will, it see as to ne, fall short
in the Impressions due to the occa
sion if it does noc fersistently pre-.
sent and emphasize the idea that
the Declaration OF Independence
was the protest of honest and stur
dy nen against the wrongs and op

reasons and justification for their
revolt are exhibited in their recital
of long list of grievous instances
III NAL administration. They CON-
planned that their interests had been
neglected and their rights as lawful
subjects so violated under British
rule that they were absolved from
further fealty. Our fathers in es-
tablishing new government upon
the will of the people and consecrat.
ed to their just care and protection
could not prescribe limitations
which would deny to political par
ties it's conduct and administration.
The opportunities and the tempta.
tions thus necessarily presented to
partizanship have brought US to a
time when party control is far too ar
rogant and bitter and when in public
place the true interests of the coun-
try are too lightly considered. In
this predicament those who love
their country may well remember
with comfort and satisfaction on
Independence day that the DISPOSE
tion of the american people to revolt
against naladministration still re

their freedom and independence, as

WHERE DOES THE WATER GO?

A member of the board of health in look
ing over the city yesterday seemed to
think that some steps should be taken at
once to prevent the storm water from run
ming under the buildings where 1t Will
stand and become a menace to the health
of the community as soon as the warm
months OF spring make their appearance.
lii many instances the water runs down
the cutters attached to the buildings and
of course runs through the openings IN the
plank walk, and as it cannot possibly
reach the cutters, must of necessity run
back into the excavations under the build
ings This danger exists everywhere
where the sidewalk does not extend out
fully to the cement curling. In front of
one store on the east side of the second
block on North Main street there IS con-
slant stream of hydrant water escaping
underneath the plank walk. There does
not seem to be any cellar under the build
ing, but doubtless some neighboring cellar
is forced to harbor this unwelcome stream.
The rain from the Masonic building is
conscientiously carried by a gutter to the
sidewalk or First street, where 1t finds
very good artificial channel in the walk
| to point Just ore-haif inch from the
| curbing At this point the walk does not
reach the curbing, and what becomes of
! the water since it never reaches the gutter
! is one of the mysteries. Is is pretty safe
/ to conclude that the germs next summer
will come back and tell the history OF that
| water

RIVERSIDE & SUBURBAN.

The Riverside & Suburban made its first
trip to the car works yesterday, going up
from the packing house in twelve minutes.
service regular will be commenced Mon
day next. The delay of many weeks is at
tributed to many causes, but it Is now
completed, and the line will no doubt be
highly appreciated by many who are call
ed to the car works on business, and who
want to take a trip in that section. 1t is
said the company will be able TO come
down Market to Douglas within ten days.
Some delay in figuring on getting vitritied
brick from Atchison, and the company
has decided to take brick made by the
Forest City company and try that. BY
the time it wears out, should 1t prove a
failure for paving, the vitrified brick fac
tory would be in full blast here and that
kind could be used then.
