included Senator Allison, ex Gov. Gear Congress-

The proneness Of these disabled soldiers" TO
marry young women to help the Government care
Tor their disabilities makes this process tedious
ono and one that will keep the pension list full FOR
many year.
1t IS amazing that any paper pretending
to be reputable should have the impudenee
toattempt to impose such stuff on its readers.
Every man Of common information knows
that it is very hard for soldier5-with their
complete record at their Lack-to get on the
pension roll. 1t is the most absurd nonsense
TO talk Of men getting there who were never
in the army. The thing is simply impossi-
bic, and no one knows it better than the
OrCgoai1n, which, when it makes such state
ments, simply lies, with malice prepense and
aforethought
Another deliberate lie is that about young
women marrying old soldiers. Every one
knows that the law expressly limits pen
sions to widows who were married to the
soldiers prior to the passage.
The National tribune., 1891-10-01

TEMPERANCE people all over the world,
and especially in Europe, are watching with
much interest the operation of the emo
nOpOly" system which was established a
few years ago in Norway. BY this the entire
sale Of liquors in any community is given to
a company, under very rigid regulations.
The manager Of the monopoly is required to
not encourage anyone to drink and to doall
he can 10 prevent intoxication. lie must not
seek any profit from the trade, and all the
surplus over per cent TO the stockholders
goes into the public treasury. No liquors
must be sold to minors, intoxicated persons,
to those in the habit of getting intoxicated,
or on credit. Price-Iists must be hung up
conspicuously in each salesroOm, and these
must be adhered to. Guests are required to
pay, drink, and quit" and this rule is rigid,
everything being done to prevent their sit
ting down and having good time" So
far as this portion Of the system is concerned
there IS general satisfaction, and it has
greatly reduced intemperance and the evils
resulting therefrom. Even the Prohibition
lists commend it as the next best thing to
absolute prohibition. The main dissatisfac-
ton is over the use Of the money derived
from the proceeds Of the monopolies. These
proceeds 20 directly to the commune5 where
the liquor is sold, aud are generally used for
schools, roads, almhouses, etc. In some Of
the cities there has been a lively dispute as
to whether portion of the money to assist
theaters was fulfilling the terms Of the law,
that the money should be expended for
public utility" In 1870, when the system
went into operation, the consumption of
liquor was over 100000 Of liters, orquarts;
in 1Ss5 it had fallen to less than 5000, 900,
in spite of the increase of population and
the importation of large bodies Of laborers
on public works.
The National tribune., 1891-10-01

The Russian land system carries out, 20 a
certain extent, Henry Georges theories.
When the serf5 were emancipated, in 1861
the Government bought the land from their
masters and gave it to them, requiring them
to pay for it in taxes, which were extended
over period Of 10 years Therefore, the
land in each community belongs to the
whole community, which is known as the
Mir. The Mir has absolute authority over
all the affairs Of the community, and appor-
tions the land from time to time among the
heads Of the families for cultivation. 1t
preserves order, Furnishes minor crimes, and
collects taxes. Every five years there is a
redistribution of the land. Much COM
plant is made Of the system, because it
strifles individual effort and prevents the
improvement Of the country The Mir rule
is very rigid, and no man can escape from
it. If n man leaves the community with
permission he cannot take his family with
him. If ne goes elsewhere and engages into
profitable employment the Mir is sure to
assess him very heavily for its permission
TO remain away. At any time it can recall
him. On the other hand, the Mir has to
provide everyone with the means Of subsist-
ence, and take care Of him when he is old
and disabled.

Our correspondent can rest assured that
We shall cling pcrsistently to our present
position. We believe most earnestly that
the GAR. should give the Sons of Veterans
the most cordial encouragement. They are
our natural and strongest allies; they have
shown themselves deserving of our warmest
friendship, and there is every reason for, and
none against, giving them sympathy and
approval. They want nothing else. They
need neither advice nor help from us. They
are abundantly able to take care Of them
selves in every way. Questions arising in
side the organization can, viii be, and should
be settled there, without outside interference
or meddling They are just Is able in every
way as we were, at the best period of our
lives, when we thought ourselves entirely
capable Of settling any possible question
that came up, from the best way to cook
fOraged chicken TO the status of the seeded
States Comrades should remember this,
and not think that their main duty toward
the S. Of V. is in liberaliiy Of advice. 1t is
astonishing how little advice they really
need, and, like the rest of Us, they much
prefer something else, as steady diet.
Give them bushels Of sympathy and APP
prevail TO spoonfnls of advice, and the result
will be all that you could wish.

which is to obtain such revision Of the pen

What better scheme can be devised for this
than the extension and liberalization of the

they would have the pension laws revised"
