The RAYS of heat do not cause it to turn

We make the general proposition, and
We defy any living man to successfully
contradict it, that the present pension
system is the greatest fraud of the age.
| We say and can prove that there are
thousands of people upon the pension
rolls to-day who were not soldiers. We
say and can prove that men who to day
are receiving pensions from this govern
ment contracted their disabilities at
houses Of prostitution. We say and can
prove that men are to day drawing pen
sions under assumed names. We boldly
proclaim that the pension system is a
republican scheme to purchase votes and
you can't scare up a republican scalawag
on the stump without hearing him yell
for the bottle SCARED hummer who saved
this Union.
We propose, before we finish this pen

to generally understand that the war has
ended@ The pension bill is always up,
and appropriation after appropriation
comes along. There are pension lawyers
in this country to day who claim to have
a dead sinch on senator's. We recently
met one in Washington who told us hat
he had been at houses of questionable re
pute, and at houses where no character
wa claimed, with men in high office
and all he had to do was to find some
reckless devil who would swear that he
was SO and SO, and he knew to his per-
sonal knowledge that one man was
drawing three pensions.
The fellow was a pure and simple black
mailer, but he had his sinch and he used
it. He says fix up this pension for my

THE sugar-planters in Louisiana are
urging leading Democrats in Congress
and Mr.. Cleveland to have the sugar
bounty abolished and a modified duty
imposed. They represent that 500. 600
people depend upon the sugar industry,
and urge that as a reason for the impo-
sition Of a duty on raw sugars. From
the Cleveland point of view that is no
reason why a duty should be placed
upon sugar. At least 500. 900 people de-
pend. to some extent upon wool-grow-
ing for o living, yet the Cleveland party
insist that wool shall be put upon the
free list.

WkETED-A POLICY,

Among IN various causes assigned
for the recent defeat of the Republican
party none has been more frequently
mentioned than the general discomfort
of workingmen with a condition under
which they had been made to believe
the rich. were growing richer and the
poor were growing poorer. This is a
false and mischievous phrase, and there
is no other civilized country in the
world where it is as little true and ap-
plicable as in the United States. In no
other country is wealth as widely and
evenly distributed, and nowhere else
are the ranks of capitalists as constantly
recruited from those OF .wage-workers
as they are in this country. 1t is not
true that all the rich are growing richer
and all the poor are growing poorer.
On the contrary, many of the rich to-
day are poor tomorrow, and cice rersa.
Nearly all Our capitalists began life
poor. and the sons of many of them will
leave Oft where their fathers began. In
telligent and enterprising workinRmen
are constantly getting on in life and be-
coming capitalists and employers. There
is not q city of any size in the country
that does not contain many examples of
this kind. 1t is too plain for argument
that the statement that the rich are
growing richer and the poor poOreri is not
true. tits a catch phrase of demagogues.
Nevertheless, it has been dinned into
the ears of the people until a
very large number of them were led to
believe it true and to vote for the Dem
ocratic party, believing it would inaug-
urate a change. AS much as anything
else the late Democratic victory means
that q majority of the people demand
the establishment of a policy under
which more persons will become mod
erately rich and a fewer number very
rich. This is the problem to which the
Whitneys, Brices, Wizards and other
millionaire leaders of the Democratic
party should address themselves. AS a
preliminary perhaps they had better
make a new divide of their own wealth.
At all events they are pledged to do
something. The Republican party has
no responsibility in the matter. 1t has
established and maintained a policy
under which any man can grow rich if
he has the natural ability and goes
about 1t in the right way, and under
which hundreds of thousands of poor
men have grown rich. What is the new
Democratic policy to be?

gets his commission. 1t will be a busy
time with the new administration. and
things will have to take their turn.
Washington is an expensive city.
and if the Professor should have
to wait two or three weeks for
his commission he will be right glad to
have some ready money with him. The
price of an overcoat would go far to-
wards keeping him at a respectable
clearinghouse for the full period of
begin as soon as he is appointed, but he
cannot draw any part of it until the end
of the first quarter, and the government
does not allow anything for traveispg
expenses. In other words, he will have
to pay his own expenses out. For these
reasons his going without an overcoat
this winter are wise from a financial as
we'll as from a climatic point of view.
If he felt disposed to carry the expert
ment a little further and go without un-
derclothing as well as an Overcoat, it
might be still better. This would in
volve additional discomfort and some
risk, but what are these to a Democrat
compared with the patriotic satisfaction
of giving Mr.. Cleveland's administration
a hearty and loyal support?
The example set by Prof. Bagot ought
to stimulate thousands of Democrats to
a similar line of action. There will be a
large number OF foreign appointments
to be made after the 4th of March next,
including ministers, secretaries of hRa-
tions, cOnsuls, consular agents, etc. DEM
ocrats who are willing to take these
places ought to begin to getready at once,
SO there need be no unnecessary delay
when Mr.. Cleveland gets ready to make
the appointments. They should get n
list of the Offices, select the one they
want, and then 60 into training. If
they select a cold climate they should
without an overcoat during the coming
winter. and if a very cold one, they had
better discard underwear and take an
ice-cold bath every morning. The bath
will not hurt them anyhow. If they
conclude to go to a tropical climate ar
opposite course of treatment should be
adopted-something that will accustOm
them to a high degree of heat. If moth
ing better occurs, sitting by a hot fire en-
veloped in heavy blankets and drinking
a pint of hot water every hour might
serve to get up a tropical heat. These
things involve some trouble, but every
Democrat who feels q real interest in
the success Of the next administration
ought to be willing to hold some Office.

AT the recent election 553,613 of the
votes polled in Indiana were counted, of
which 290,873 were given to candidates
hostile to the D~emocracy-a majority of

were rejected, of which 1000 were anti
Democratic and 5000 Democratic, giving
1900 more voters whowere against Dem
ocratic control. Stranger things have
happened in politics in two years than
the combination of these voters hostile
to. the Democracy in Indiana to over
throw it. Two years hence, on a plat
form of State issues, such as economy
of State expenditures, a modern system
of taxation, the overthrow of the gerry
mander, reform in county management.
with the natural reaction of the dis
gruntled Democracy, an overturn is more
than possible.

THE TWO DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS.

Three weeks after the election il il
very evident that the leaders of the
Democratic party are divided into two
factions regarding the tariff. The
smaller but more potential element,
chiefly in the East, composed of men
like Whitney, Senators German, Brice
and Mcpherson of New Jersey, Gov.
Flower. in short. the element which is
in touch with the business and enter
prise of the country, is opposed to any
general tariff legislation. If they could
have their way they would leave the
Mckinley law very much as it is. De-
spite his professions to the contrary.
Mr.. Cleveland is likely to share tho
opinions of this financially powerful ele-
ment and of the conservatives of Wall
street, who rave always controlled him.
The other faction, which is much the
larger. has convinced itself that a
protective tariff is q great wrong and
that the mass of the people are hostile
to it. Those who make up this element
are the demagogues and the advocates
of crude theories, the solid South DEM
ocrat, who is hostile to manufacturing
enterprises because he is jealous of the
greater prosperity of the North, the
general party organ grinder in the West
and South, the Congressman who
have been demanding free silver
coinage while all intelligent bust
ness men are against it. and,
above all. that harrow and ma
lignant type of Democrat who thinks
that to be q Democrat he must oppose
every Republican measure. In Congress
they are the Millses, the Bynums, the
Blands, the Breckinridges and the Jerry
Simpsons. Malignant prejudice takes
the place of intelligent conviction in
their intellectual makeup. That preju-
dice has arrayed them against protec-
ton and in favor of free trade or a rev.
enue tariff. They have made their con-
~stituents believe in an actual baron
tariff robber and a Republican plutoc-
O under the Mckinley law. Strange
as it may seem. some of them believe
this nonsense. They have pledged them
selves to overthrow the Mckinley law.
They will do it if they can.
What will be the outcome? There
could be no question if it was only one
of repeating the Mckinley law. but
since it involves the devising of O sub.
stitute the matter is IN grave doubt.
The solid South and the bitter dema-
gogues Of the West could carry all be-
fore them if they could agree upon a
tariff bill, but they cannot unless they
take up some measure like tho Mills
bill. AS it stands the free-traders of
the South and West have the numbers.
but the Whitneys, the Germans and the
East have the brains. Uncertainty is
the result, and nothing is worse than
uncertainty for the business and indus
try of the country.

THE action of a Justice of the peace
in Corydon in releasing a man against
whom there was alleged to be evidence
to convict him of manslaughter, if not
murder, goes to show hat there are
counties in Indiana, like whole States in
the South. in which Democrats may take
human life with impunity. That a man
who took human life under the circum-
stances reported in Corydon should be
permitted to have bail would be calcu-
lated to cheaper the crime of murder,
but to have a justice of the peace pass
upon such a crime is an offense for which
there should be law and penalty.
