THE bill appropriating 100000 to aid the
citizens of Washington in entertaining the
26th National Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic now goes to the House
of Representatives for concurrence, and there
should not be the least opposition to its
passage. The people of Washington are
subscribing literally to the fund, but they
must not be expected to do everything to-
ward caring for the immense number of old
soldiers who will throng hither. The whole
burden of maintaining the dignity and ex-
employing the gratitude of the Nation
should not fall upon the relatively small
number of people in the National Capital.
They expect to provide two-thirds of the
money required, and it is little enough to
ask the Government to chip in the other
third.

KANSAS has never had son who deserved
so much honor from her as the late Senator
Plumb, and the proposition to raise mag
nificent monument to him at Emporia
should be carried out in the handsomest
manner. Senator Plumb was typical
Kansan, and represented the best type of
the manhood of the young State. AS sol
der fighting for what he thought to be right,
rs a wise founder of great State, Us pub
lic-spirited citizen, and rs a National law
giyer, he made record which has few
parallels in brilliant usefulness In build
ing a monument to him Kansas will build q
monument to herself She may have other
men in the future who will do as well as he,
but she will never have one who will do
better or reflect more honor upon her.

in peace; the men who did more to settle
peace after the war than anyone else.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, resented the
epithet "niggardly." The Encampment
had been invited by men who pledged
themselves to pay the expenses out of their
own pockets. Now they wanted the tax
payers of the country to bear the burden.
There would be just as much reason for
asking Congress to aid in entertaining an
Ecumenical Council or a National Convention
of political party.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
favored the bill in brief but strong speech,
as did also Senators Hiscock, of New York /;
Perkins, of Kansas; Cullom, of Illinois, and
Stockbridge, of Michigan.
The amendment to assess the whole
amount upon the District was lost by vote
of II to 3D.

The Free Traders in the House had a
tough time during the debate on the Tariff.
They were repeatedly challenged TO show a
single instance where an article Of comfort
or necessity was raised in price by the Nc
Kinley Brli, and as often were unable 10 do
so. Nor could they deny that great many
that legislation that tens of thousands of
men and women were given profitable en-
ploymeni: that wages generally were raised,
millions OF dollars kept in circulation at
home which were previously sent abroad,
and that new markets had been created
everywhere for farm products.

THOUGH the contention with England
did mt 70 far enough TO even suggest
@ need for The services of the Sens
of Veterans, ii was sufficient TO indicate
the great value to this country of this
well-organized body Of young men. The
best way 10 preserve peace is to be
in good shape to make war, and one
thing that suggested itself to all thinking
men was the readiness with which the Sons
of Veterans could have been launched across
the Canadian border to seize and hold ali
the avenues of communication. They
would have given the United States
an immense advantage at the outset.
While he Sons Of Veterans do not figure st
ali ia the estimates of the armed strength
of the country they are really most potent
preparation for war. Every one Of them is
imhaed with the true military spirit, and
has made much progress in the actual
educaiion 90 soldier. They could be COZ
versed into effective freaps in an astonish-
iegly brief time, sad their present organiza-
tion would need little change to fit it for the

THERE is no more just and patriotic sec
ton of the tariff than that giving proper
protection TO American wool-growers. 1t is
necessary to insure the prosperity Of the
farmers Of the country, taken as whole.
Without, they will be swamped by the cheap
woods of Asia, South America, and Australia
Without, sheep raising would simply be
impossible in the United States, and mil
lions Of money now distributed among
our farmers every year, would be taken
from general circulation, scattered abroad
and forever lost to US. We must look to
our own household, take care of those on
whom the prosperity Of the country depends,
and provide that the men who till the soil
shall not have their substance taken away
for the benefit of greedy importers.
The National tribune., 1892-04-14

AN effort will be made in the present Con-
gress to relieve the Supreme Court and the
country of the annoyance, which has Of late
years become very great, of ambitious law
yers appealing murder cases on all manner of
fimsy pretexts to that high tribunal. Until
recently it was an unknown thing to have a
case arising under the criminal laws Of a
State appealed to the United States Supreme
Court, as it was held that the State had ex-
elusive jurisdiction in such matters. But a
smart lawyer, who was defending the first
murderer sentenced to die by electricity in
New York, saw chance to make an adver-
tisement for himself by appealing the case
to the Supreme Court of the United States,
under the plea that such an execution was
q violation of the Constitutional provision
against cruel and unusual punishments."
His example has been followed by number
of other lawyers, who have taken up the
valuable time Of the oyerworked tribunal
and delayed the administration of justice.
A bill introduced by Representative Fellows,
of New York, provides that no sentence in O
capital case can be appealed Except upon
the express order and direction of the Judge
from whose decision the appeal is taken"

INCREASE OF MATERIAL COMFORTS.
Representative Brosius of Pennsylvania
in the course of his admirable speech in the
support of the duties on wool, produced
table which was Of the greatest value IN
showing the rapid improvement in the con-
dition of the people of the United States.
Some one has said that the best indications
of the civilization of people are the statis-
tics relating to the amount Of soap they
consume. In the same way the best indi-
cation of the comfort and prosperity OF
people of the Northern Hemisphere is the
amount of wool they consume. This not
only shows how well they are clothed,
but how well their houses are furnished'
with carpets, blankets, etc. The tables
presented. by Representative Brosius showed
the following consumption Of wool per
capita per annum for the last so years

PATTERSON, of Tennessee, who claims to
be the last rebel Surrendered, says that
@pension payments have produced dearth
Of money south of The Ohio River" Whose
fault is il, we may ask, that there are not
more pensioners sonth of The Ohio, and more
money distributed theree Certainly not
that OF tue Government. or the men who
are drawing pensions.
The National tribune., 1892-04-14

This would make it appear that we are
twice as we'll clothed as our fathers were,
and this comedies with the memories OF all
who can remember beyond half-century
The poorest have more and better clothes
than they ever had, and common people are
better appareled than the very rich were
at the beginning of the century. The ordi-
nary mechanic and farmer now treads On
carpets and sleeps under blankets that were
only possible to tho very rich a few decades
ago.
The National tribune., 1892-04-14

THE advocates of free wool have had to
constantly admit that the effect of protec-
ton is invariably to reduce the cost of goods
to the people. With proper encouragement
Americans can always be relied On to pro-
duce cheaper and better goods than can DO
had abroad.
The National tribune., 1892-04-14
AS TO SHEEP.

The Southern advocates Of free wool
frankly admitted during the debate in the
House that the tariff really benefited the
wool growers, but they claimed that this
was wrong, because it was the result of
selfish and unholy combination between
the manufacturers and the wool-growers to
enrich themselves at the expense Of the
mass of the people. The sufficient reply
to this ia that every farmer should put him.
self into shape to receive some of the benefits
of this selfish combination. Sheep will do
we'll in every part of the United States, and
every farm will be the better for having
flock of them. We should have 10000, 900
sheep in this country, instead of less than
one-third that number, and this increase
would be an immense benefit to the whole
people, in adding to their supply OF
cheap, wholesome meat. Mutton has
been a mainstay of the race ever since
before the beginning Of history. The
old patriarchs, whose lives were extended
for hundreds of years, subsisted mainly on
mutton and sorghum seed, and what
splendid old fellows they were, intellectu-
ally, physically, and morally! Sheep meat
was the staple food of the Greeks and Ro'
mans, and in their day they ran the world
about as they pleased, and managed it in o
very excellent way, too. Providing plenty
of mutton will DO a good way Of keeping
up the stamina of the American race.
The National tribune., 1892-04-14

REPRESENTATIVE COOPER, of Indiana
got an unexpected hoist from petard placed
under him by Gen. Raum during the exam
ination last week. Much to the astonish-
ment of the whole Committee, Gen. Raum
showed that Cooper's name had been used
On thousands Of Congressional slips, used to
call up cases out of their regular erdcr-as
matter Of Congressional privilege "-and
that these slips had been peddled out to
claim agents in various parts of the country
at So each. 1t appears that this was done
by one S. Il. Hersey, Cooper's Private secre-
tary. Cooper's knowledge and completely
are left to be determined. lie, Of course,
denies that he knew what his Secretary was
doing, and the latter defends himself by
saying that other Secretaries of Senator'S
and Representatives were doing the same as
he did. Altogether, it makes very bad
mess, which will require a great deal of ex-
planning on Mr.. Cooper's part to really ex-
plain. Possibly n knowledge of what was
forthcoming has kept him from being so con-
spicuous in the present investigation of the
Pension Bureau az in the former one.
IT develops that the Chinese opposition to
receiving ex-senator Blair as Minister is not
30 much objection to him personally as re-
sentiment of the Chinese Exclusion Bill. 1t
| is natural that any Nation should feel bit
terly over legislation aimed so directly
against its citizens but certain things will
| have to be accepted by the Government OF
the Celestial Kingdom. The first is that the
people of this country are inflexibly and
| unalterably opposed to Chinese immigration,
and that the legislation now on the books
will have to remain. While voting for the
| bill, Senator Blair was not at all conspicuous
| in his opposition to the Chinese, nor radi-
cal in his utterances. It is considered rather
undipl0matic to hold man responsible for
his words and votes while member Of a
legislative body. China Iabors under this
disadvantage in attempting any retaliation,
that her trade with us is of several times
more value than our trade with her. IF she
should attempt to stop all commerce with
us, as it is limited she may do, she will lose
| six dollars to our one.
