"a Singular as it may seem there are now
upon the pension roll 27 widows of soldiers of
the Revolutionary war, which ended over
1O6 years ago, and yet the dest widow is
but 81 and the youngest II years old. There
are 7O3 survivors of the war of 1912, and 1854
widows of departed veterans of the war. Of
the Mexican war there are 17,O55 survivors
and 6.602 widows. OF the late war there are
47S, ,725 pensioners, $4,000 of whom are wild
ows. Ohio has greater number of pension
ers than any other State in the Union, the
number being 50,08I or more than one-tenth
of the whole number on the rolls, but this is
accounted for to some extent by the pres
ence of the old veterans at the Soldier
Home. Dayton, a number being from other
States. Last year the amount paid to pen
sioners was nearly SOC, 1000, 900 of which more
than $40, ,0O0, 900 was arrears In the new cases,
and since 1861 the sum total paid out for
De nsions amounts to $1,052, ,21s, ,413, showing
conclusively that this grand government of
ours is generously remembering its disabled
defenders.

greatest war the world ever saw.
Greatest in number of men engaged; over
100000 men engaged on both sides; for
more than two years over 100000 men un-

Greatest in territory covered; for over
three years two almost unbroken lines of
hostile troops confronting each other for
more than 1000 miles, through forests, over
ranges, and across mighty rivers.
Greatest in cost both in money and in life;
Billions upon billions Of dollars aud hundreds
of thousands of human lives.
Greatest in results; over four millions Of
human souls freed from bondage, and the
whole state of society over a vast continent

Ey The Congressman who lost their mon
ey through the defalcation of the Deputy Ser
geant at Arms, will have to pocket their
losses and resolve to keep stricter watch of
their money hereafter. The Republican
majority of the Silcott investigating commit
tee reported a bill appropriating $4,000 to
reimburse the members whose money was
gone, Notwithstanding the money had been
paid by the treasury once already. Hem
pills Democratic minority proposition was
to let the losers sue the government before
the Court of Claims and il their claims
proved to be just they would get the money.
That was rejected by close vote and the
majority bill pressed to its passage. On the
last stage it was defeated by vote of l26
yeas and 142 nays.
Of the l26 voting themselves double pay
out of the treasury, 96 were Republicans and
80 Democrats. OF the 142 who decided that
the salary grab business should not be re-
peated, no matter on how small scale, 50
were Democrats and 43 Republicans. That
is to say, nea ly 70 per cent. of the Repubh-
cans voting were salary grabbers, and less
than "a per cent. of them Democrats
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Inasmuch as the Signal is mum on the
subject we will have to tell the people that
Boothman, the Republican representing this
Democratic district, voted for the grab. The
Signal certainly should keep the people
posted on the doings of Mr.. Boothman, how
he voted for this grab and for a clerk for
each Congressman at the Government ex-
pense, especially so when it is known the
Signal editor is candidate for postmaster
of Napoleon. But probably this fact pur-
chases his silence.

Census Supervisor.

The Republicans have been parceling out
the appointments of Supervisors of the CEN
sus in this State. In this district, the First,
Senator Sherman and Representative Booth
man have selected General Kirby, of Upper
Sandusky, for that position, and his name
has been confirmed by the Senate.
He will have over 100 appointments to
make of census takers. The first district is
composed of the counties of Allen, Crawford.
Defiance, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Lucas,
Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky. Sene-
ca, Van Vert, Williams, Wood and Wyandot.
This embraces the section of the State which
will show a greater proportionate growth
than any other part of Ohio. The selection
is not giving general satisfaction in the Re-
publican ranks, as Boothman had promised
his support to Williams county man. He
denies that he favored Kirby and says he was
true to the man he promised his support to
but that Sherman was too much for him and
had his man appointed. Mr.. Boothman
don't seem to amount to much with the
present administration.

~ The people have long since ceased to
place much confidence in the sayings of
George Russell, the present Republican Au-
ditor by the grace of Democratic votes, and
look upon him as political demagogue and
fraud Of the first water. His array of smart
ness in last weeks Signal shows that the
people are correct in their estimation of
him. His dirty insinuations concerning the
official acts of treasurer WaItimire and other
Democratic officials, who have labored to rid
the tax duplicate of lot of dead property,
are beneath the notice of any intelligent
citizen. but fully in accord with the low and
sneaking instincts Of the present Republican
county auditor. In capacity, honesty and
integrity Treasurer Waltimire and the other
Democrats he seeks to malign are so far
above George Russell that beside them he is as
a pigmy. But our clincher must have wor-
ried him considerably, and he no doubt
burned gallons of the county's oil in prepar-
ing his hsrangue, which the Signal tried to
palm of as its own. But, while he was
burning county oil, condemning Democratic
officials for doing their lawful duty, why did
he not tell the people that he had the delin-
quent list published at an expense of four or
five hundred dollars AMI the sale did not
bring enough to pay the expense of publi-
cation? OF course that's horse of another
color, but the principle and argument is the
same. But, candidly, Mr.. Russell, you are
wasting sleep and the county's oil; you are a
yearling and mighty sick one at that

Oklahoma for the Negroes.

Letters received by W. L. Eagleson, bust
ness manager of the Oklahoma immigration
Society in Kansas, from points in North
Carolina, says that large number of negroes
of that State are going through in wagons
this winter to the new Territory. Mr.. Eagle
son says there are now about $1,000 negroes
in Oklahoma and that by spring there will be
at least $4,000. He claims they ought to have
that country, and says President Lincoln and
the Republican party promised to give it to
them. He adds, "We are determined to take
it in anyhow and we will make it one of the
grandest States in the Union. favor Colo
mel Morgan's scheme to buy the Cherokee
strip and other lands in the Indian Territory,
exclusive for negro settlement. Give rs the
Blair bill, the Indian Territory and Senator
Buffers 5000, 600 and we shall be content.
Oklahoma, in my judgment. is the land Of
promise for the race, and migration the
panacea for every i'll now affecting the me-
groes in the Shouth."

Nothing bnt Spolls and Plunder.

Is there man in the United States who is
able to point out solitary circumstance con-,
nected with the Harrison administration
which has not iR one way or another had
something to do either with plundering the
people by means of tariffs, subsidies or
pensions, or with the placing of some patriot
in fat Officer If this administration has
done anything else since it came into power,
nearly year ago, what is it? If Ben
iamin Harrison has had anything to say or to
do relative to anything else than official spoils
and monopolistic plunder, what has it
been?
These questions are asked in all serious
ness. The people of the United States are SO
accustomed to the hypocritical Republican
pretense of superiority that much of that
party disgraceful conduct passes unnoticed.
Here is a record, however, which is entirely
characteristic c and which should not be for
gotten.-Chicago Herald.

W-A ballot reform law is expected from
the Ohio Legislature but let it not be a
hastily drafted one. The laws in force in
Indiana, Connecticut and Massachusetts are
reckoned as the best thus far devised but per
haps neither one would exactly suit Ohio.
The question should be carefully studied
before final action is taken. The subject is
one of such vast and far reaching conse-
quence that it is wise to "make haste slowly"

and will be urged for speedy passage Ohio
people irrespective of party demand the Sc
cret ballot, but they will not be satisfied with
any superficial or i'll considered measure

tB- A bill has been introduced in the Ohio
Senate which, if made law, will relieve the
State board of Agriculture from much ex-
pense. At present the board sustains all the
expense of farmers institutes, which consti-
tute large part of the educational work of
the board. The bill provides for the pay
ment by the State to each county a sum
equivalent to one-half a cent? each inhabi-
tant, provided the sum total for any one
county does no exceed $500. This money is
to be expended in the support of farmer IS
institutes, although no Fart of it is to be paid
in alaries, and no county shall receive the
bene fits os the law until its institute has been
and has in its treasury $25 of its
own money.

The ear complaint from which the
Emperor William suffers has been very
painful and troublesome lately in conse-
quence Of his majesty having caught a
cold when he was shooting in Silesia.
The court physicians are anxious that the
emperor should undergo an elaborate
course OF treatment, but this will involve
his close confinement to the house for
at least fortnight, so that he is reluct-
ant to consent to it. The state of the
emperor's health excites q good deal of
concern, but it is high treason at Berlin
to allude to his illness, which, il it con-
tinues for any long time, is almost GER
tain to become mental, as the pain is so
excruciating that sleep can only be OBJ
tanned by the use of strong sedatives and
the whole nervous system is thoroughly
upset.
The Emperor William gave the garri-
son at Darmstadt the other evening one
of those pleasant surprises to which he
has become addicted. In the middle of
q cold night, when snow was falling, an
alarm was suddenly sounded, and, after
hasty muster, all the regiments in the
town were marched out to the drill
ground and shooting range at Griesheim.
The Grand Duke of Hesse, who was Sleep
ing peacefully in his bed, must have exc
Grated his autocratic nephew's exuberant
love for these military fantasticalities;
but, although suffering from cold, of
course he had to get up with everybody
else, and accompany the troops on their

turned shortly after daybreak. London
