RECtPRoCITY IN LEGIsLA-
'r.-s.. TON.

The New York Herald has sent tele-
grams to various Congressmen-elect
asking their views as TO an extra ses-
sion and their preference between a
horizontal cut in the tariff or q modi-
fication of the present schedule.
Francis g Newlsnds, of Nevada, re-
piled as follows:
II am in favor of an extra session,
because the immediate passage Of the
free coinage bill is essential to the
prosperity OF the country. The
Democratic party has the opportunity
of its life. 1t can endear itself to the
West by wise financial legislation
Discomfort was the cause of the po-
litical revolution, not the tariff. The
vicious Legislation demonetizing silver
which destroyed one half Of the
money of ultimate redemption, is at
the bottom Of the prevailing distress
and discomfort. If the Democratic
party fails to give relief the third par
ty will sweep the country four years
hence.
II have been protectionist, but
my action as to the tariff will largely
depend on the action Of the Eastern
and Middle States regarding the
money question. I am opposed to
that system Of protection which pro-
tects the manufactured products of
the Eastern States by tariff and
their accumulated Stoke of money
. by ciCaing the silver mines and totally
disregards Western interests. The
manufacturers must emancipate
themselves from the domination of
the gold trust il they want western
support. We propose to have reci-
procitY in legislation. The manu fac-
ture Of domestic money from our sill
YER mines should take the place of
borrowing fonsign gold."

Disseminated Against.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Since the
passage of the act of June 81, 1890 it has often
occurred to my mind that the veterans of the
late civil war who are now over 60 years of age
have been Disseminated against as compared
with the veterans of the Mexican war. The
latter, when they arrived at the age of SO
years, could demand their pension in an
honorable way, and it was promptly paid by
the Government, which is only just and proper
and am glad of it; but witb.the veteran oil
how old he may be he has to appear before a
Board of Surgeons, who determine whether be
has disability sufficient to warrant the Govern
ment in giving him pension or not.
do not think it requires professional man
to decide this. Any man of common sense
knows that when man has passed his Goth
year he is unable to perform manual labor, as
required by those who employ labor.
do not doubt but that Examining Boards
may be the proper thing for those men who are
yet comparatively young, but what grim
burlesque it is, to see old men with bald pates
and hoary locks limping along to appear before
a board of medical experts, to find out If they
have got disability in pensionable degree.
The spectacle would be supremacy ludicrous
were it not for its melancholy aspect. To say
the least, it is simply degrading to the old
soldier. Why not have pensionsble age? It
would facilitate business, and would financially
assist the most necessitous class of old soldiers
at once, instead of keeping them marching
along on the present circuitoUs and discretionary
d-tape line for years, the victims of deferred
hope.-William Seaton, Co. G, Sd Cal, 6O7

Another Columbus Relic.
BROOKLYN Eagte.l

The congregation of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church at Hsleyville, N. j., has a
rare relic in the shape of large bell, which is
said by those who have traced its history to be
the oldest bell in the Western hemisphere. The
bell was procured by Capt. Elias Newell ON one
of the Bahama Islands, and presented by him
to the church. 1t is one of the bells, as stated,
which Ferdinand and Isabella placed upon the
Alhambra in 1892, and in 1902 was presented
by Queen Isabella to Christopher Columbus
upon his departure on his fourth and last
voyage to America. 1t was placed in the
chapel, which was the beginning of the great
Cathedral of Carthagena in New Granada. In
1897 upon the siege of Carthagena, it fell to the
share of the French ship La Rochelle.
Afterward this ship was wrecked upon the
Island of San Andreas, one of the Bahamas. A
few of the crew were saved, together with the
bell. From the descendants of the survivors
the bell and its history were obtained by Capt.
Newell, of the bark Ezra FL. Fisk, of Haley
vile. There is debt of $3.50 resting upon the
church at Haleyville, and so highly do the
people value the relic-ths Columbus bell
that they will not place it in the church lest
the latter may be sold for debt and they lose
the bell, but it is securely kept at the residence
of Trustee Alfred Green. 1t will be 400 years
old next year, and it is proposed that it shall
be exhibited at the Columbian Exposition.

A Memorial Industrial Building.


The Trustees of the Mission Schools of Cook
cry and Housework have obtained an act OF
incorporation for the erection of building
which will be used for the industrial education
of women and girls. They will receive such
practical training in cookery, housework nurs-
ing, and other branches of industrial education
as will best fit them for earning their own sup
port and be Of use to them in their own homes.
The building will be dedicated to the memory
of those who gave their lives to save the
country in the civil war, and will at the same
time perpetuate the memory of work done by
the women in the war, as 1t Is thought that
this form of memorial would be most pleasing
to those whom it commentaries. Committees
are being formed here and elsewhere for the
purpose of receiving contributions, and all who
feel interested in assisting in the work can OBJ
tain further information by addressing Miss
Clara Lewis. 1923 N street northwest, Washing
ton, d. G. The names of all contributors will
be recorded in the building, and the Trustees
hope that the amount required will be given in
free-will offerings from those who will take a
pleasure in contributing.
Some of the committee members are Mrs. a.

Arthur Macarthur, Mrs. T. B. Hood, and Rev.

The Seif-styied Loyal Volunteers.
P Cudmors, Faribault, Mimi, thinks that
these self styled loyal volunteers who want to
repeal the pension laws and who argue that
pensions and bountes to the brave men who
saved the Nation are public charities, seem to
be msinformed on the history of laws per-
tanning to pensions and bounties and land
warrants to the Army and Navy. Pensions,
bounties and land warrants were granted 70
the men Of the Revolutionary war, the war OF
1912 and the Mexican war, besides the several
Indian wars. The records show that Gen.
Grant received land warrant for service in
Mexico, and Gen. Sherman two warrants for
service in Florida aud Mexico. President
Lincoln got warrant for his Black Hawk war
service. Many other instances are cited by
the writer, and he asks the loyal volunteers II
they consider these recipients OF Government
