IT is a mistake to try and cure catarrh
by using local applications. Catarrh be-
ing constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
which, acting through the blood,
reaches every part of the system.

MIR. HUNTINGroN,s LETTER.

Elsewhere we publish letter by Mr..
c. p. Huntington to a gentleman in San
Francisco, which is intended to and does
brush away misrepresentation concerning
the relations of tho Central Pacific Rail
road to the Federal Government, and
which corrects errors that appear to have
been industriously propagated.
1t ought not to be necessary for Mr..
Huntington at this late day to travel over
historical ground, and to re-state the facts
and point out the economies in this mat
ter of the adjustment proposed between
the Government and the Central Pacific
Railroad Company. But it is rendered
necessary by persistent misrepresentation
in certain quarters, and because there has
been en- evident studied effort to cultivate
prejudice, not to say animosity, that we
had supposed to have gone the way of ex-
ploded error.
Mr.. Huntington, in few cogent and
simple but forcible sentences, presents
the economics of the whole question.
The Government has not only lost moth
ing by any aid it gave to the initial trans
continental railway, but it has been an
infinite gamer in a multiplicity of ways,
to few ofwhich the letter refers. 1t has
not only been gamer as Government,
but all the people of the Union to the
humblest individual in it have been
the beneficiaries of the thought that in
spired the construction of the road, the
courage that grappled with the problem
Of need, and the executive ability that
brought the line to speedy completion,
and thereby secured to the nation ines
Unable benefits.
All this ground has been gone over be-
fore, and it has repeatedly been shown
that in no other way has the development
of the country been so much promoted,
the comfort and convenience of the peo-
pie SO much conserved, and the nation as
whole SO financially benefited as by the
building of the road. But as the facts Of
arc oiSIoitCi
and the relations of the road to the Gov
ernment are still persistently misrepre-
scented, Mr.. Huntington docs well to re-
capitulate the truth.
He points out that, aside from the in
equitable competition erected by the Gov
ernmcnt, the road has immensely les
sened the Government output for service,
has developed waste Territories into
States, given new values to Government
lands and opened up homes to vast null
titude, and that the settlement treated of
is one that purposes to deprive the Gov
eminent of no right, that invades no
equity, but secures to it return Of its
comparatively small outlay, and that, too,
with interest greater than the Government
would have to pay if it wanted to borrow
money to-day.
We commend the letter to fair and i'm
partial reading. The writer has stated
nothing not susceptible of demonstration
and taken no position that those who have
the true interests OF the country at heart,
and are disposed to do equity, cannot in

PENSION DECISIONS.
Rulings and Decisions by the Assistant Secretary or
the Interior aud the Commissioner or Pensions.

Rulings aud Decisions by the Assistant Secretary or
the Interior aud the Commissioner or Pensions.
Assistant Secretary Busiey has rendered an
important pension decision, in which is con-
strucd section ) Of the pension act Of June %,
1880. The ease in point is that OF Schuyler &.
keFhart, now 81 years Of age, who up 20 ls52
received a pension as minor. At that time
he was dropped from the rolls, he then having
attained the age OF lG years, at which pension
rs minor ceases.
The third section Of the act of Jane %. 1890,
provides that in case = minor child is insane,
idotic, or otherwise permanently helpless the
pension SHALL continue during the life of said
child. or during tho period Of such disability,
and this pr0viso shall apply to all pensions
heretofore granted. or hereafter to be granted,
under this on any former statute, aud such
pensions shall Commence from the date Of ap-
piicaton therefor after the passage Of this act"
kcphaTt applied for restoration to the pension
rolls under this provision, basing his claims
upon the allegation that, "a he is beyond the
period Of minority. he is permanently helpless.
The Assistant Secretary denies the appIica-
ton. and says: The claimant is now II years
Of age aud the law makes no provision for
granting a minors pension TO a person who
has reached that age. liz is tue that in con-
f0rmity with the liberal provision contained
in section 3 OF the act Of June %, 1899. pen
sion granted 10 child under is years who is
insane, idiOtic, or otherwise permanently help
less. shall continue during the life Of said
child, or during the period OF such disability;
but the child thus made pensioner must have
been on the pension roll n the date OF the
aforesaid act. II a child who is insane, idiOtic.
or otherwise permanently helpless, be granted
minors pension prior 10 June y, 1850. and
is on the rolls at that date, tie pension shall
be continued during his life, or during the
period Of such disability, by operation OF the
net Of that date; or, IL such a child be granted
a minors pension under that act, tho pension
shall continue during his life, during the
period Of his disability; but there is no pro-
vision Ia any act whereby a minors pension
that has lap,cd for years by reason Of age, aud
also by operation Ok law, may be revived. The
pension once having lapscd for the reasons
indicated. il cannotbe restored upon the ground
OF the pensioners permanent heipiessness.
