THE Senate does not propose that the

THE Senate does not propose that the
House shall make a specious showing of
economy by cutting down all the current
and other appropriations, crippling the De-
partments of the Government, and stopping
needed Improvements, while the Represent
atives give themselves lavish appropria-
tons in the River and Harbor bill. This
bill, which carries over 81 100000 more than
the one passed by the "Billion-Dollar Con-
gress," has reached the Senate, and will be
hung up there until the other appropriation
bills shall have been received from the
House and considered. The House has been
informed of this determination on the part
of the Senate and CONSERVATION has resulted.
1t means that the Representatives cannot
90 back to their constituents carrying their
portion of the swag until they have taken
care of other more important portions OF
the public business. Before they can boast
of what they have done for their Districts
they must do their share toward taking care
of the whole country. They cannot be ex-
travagant in the River and Harbor bill and
ruinously parsimonious on the other appro-
priations. The stand taken by the Senate
viii be generally approved.

THE sensational Rev. J. D. Fulton has
bobbed up in a new spot, in an attack upon
Mrs Potter Palmer for inviting the Pope to
participate in the Worlds Fair, and
prophecy that we will have some day q
religious war in the United States between
the Catholics and Protestants, etc. This is
all very silly. The act of Mrs. Palmer was
correct II would have been gross dis
courtesy not to have invited the spiritual
head of hundreds of millions of the Christ
ians of the world to share in an exhibition
Of the progress of the world in civilization
The bitterest enemy Of the Catholic Church
full factor in that civilization, and that it
played a conspicuous part in the dis
covery and development of America. In no
way could the Pope have been left out with
out violation of all the proprieties Tt
was not courtesy to him but right due
the millions Of Catholics who are taking an
active interest in the Worlds Fair and con-
tributing toward its success. The talk about
a war between Catholicism and Protestant
ism is wretched babble. The day of re-
ligious wars is past hundreds of years ago.
In fact, in most of the so-called re-
ligious wars politics played greater part
than religion. For political reasons Catholic
France prosecuted Protestants at home,
and sustained Protestants abroad. For po-
litical reasons Protestant England perse-
cuted Catholics in Ireland, and encouraged
them with money and armies in Germany.
! This Government was established to allow
every man to "worship God according to
| the dictates of his own conscience and
such a thing as a religious war is an inn
possibility. The man who talks of such a
thing merely proclaims himself blather-
skite.

THE NEW COMMANDER OF OHIO.

We congratulate the Department of Ohio,
GAR, upon the election of /. F. Mack as
Commander. Not that the Encampment
would have gone amiss in electing either Of
the able and Jealous comrades who were his
competitors for the honor. Either of them
would have filed the place most creditably,
and both were we'll deserving of the dis
tinction. But Comrade /. +. Mack is a
rarely equipt man for any public position,
and particularly so for the Office to which
he has been chosen. At the outbreak OF the
war he was student in the famous Abolition
University of Oberlin, o. His class enlisted
in body, under their teachers, forming a
company in the 7th Ohio. They pledged
themselves to each other to serve the war
through, ard not to accept promotion to
commission. The last was difficult to keep,
for the pressure was strong TO make officers
Of such bright, brave, educated young fell
lows. The company, with some others, was
overwhelmed in desperate fight at Sum-
merville, W. Va, in the Fall of 1861, and a
large number of its men captured, Mack
among them. He underwent long i'm
prisonment, and was subjected to frequent
indignities on account of the hatred the
rebels bore 10 Oberlin. He served his term
out after his release, and at the close of
the war became editor and proprietor OF
the Sandusky (O) Register, which he
made very newsy IS well IS most pug
nacious paper which was ever in hot
fight for what he thought was right. The
parer prospered, and Mack is one of the
substantial and leading citizens of San
dusky. This does not tell the whole story.
His activity and ability have made him
marked man in many walks of life. He was
for long time President of the Ohio Press
Association, and one of the managers of that
great news-gathering concern-the Western
Associated Press. He has been for years
seriously considered as Governor Of the State,
and he will be as soon as he decides that
his other duties will admit of his name
being presented to the Convention. He has
been faithful worker in The Prisoner Of
War Association, but his crowning achieve
ment is the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home
at Sandu5ky. He devoted years of effort to
getting the Legislature TO decide to build
such home, and after the bill became a
law, he gave more years to planning and
erecting the building according to the best
models, and to managing it SO as to secure
in the highest degree the objects for which
it was instituted. In /. L. Mack the De-
partment of Ohio will not only have Com
mander who was as good soldier as kept
step to The music of the Union, but an
able, experienced public man, whose admin
istration will be broadgage and up to the
highest level.

BURIAL AT ARLINGTON.

The question of who are entitled to burial
at Arlington and other National Cemeteries
is now before Congress, having come up un-
der the application to the Quartermaster-
General by Col. M. D. Simpson, retired
officer Of the Regular Army, for two lots in
Arlington in which to deposit the remains
Of his wife and son, now in vaults in other
places. The Quartermaster-G General has de-
MED the request for lot for the son, on the
ground that, if this is permitted, the ceme-
teries will soon cease to be National, in the
sense of the law instituting them. Secre-
tary Elkins has sent the papers to Congress
for instructions, and he remarks that, while
there is great deal of available ground in
the cemeteries at Arlington and West Point,
there is no law allowing even officers to be
buried there, much less their families
What action Congress will take in the
matter cannot be foreseen. Our idea is that
burials in the National Cemeteries should be
restricted to men who have served honorably
in the Army and Navy of the United States,
and their wives. That soldiers, sailors, and
marines should be buried there goes without
saying. That is what the cemeteries are for.
1t will be great hardship to deny any vet
eran the privilege of having his faithful wife
lie beside him. Unless this can be given
many veterans will prefer not TO avail them
selves of the privilege. They would much
rather take their last sleep in the ground con-
secrated as the final resting-places of their
dearly-loyed wives. But it would seem that
this great privilege cannot be extended be-
yond the wives Of veterans without sacri-
| fcing the main feature which makes the
National Cemeteries such coveted burial
places. They are the Nations holy places
and should be jealousy restricted to the
