This loss of So per month is $S6
per year, or $1O8 for a term of three
years Of service. Taking into con-
siderstion the same proportionate
loss on the pay of commissioned and
non, commissioned officers, and the
aggregate could ut be less than $780,
100000. This in fact is a very con-
servative estimate. This amount then
was purposely taken out of the pay
of those who jeopsrdized their lives
to save the life of the nation, and was
transferred to the pockets Of Wall
street bankers who refused to loan
their gold except upon the most un-
questionable security and at an in
terest of about 80 per cent. The
point we make is, that a Republican
Congress with deliberstion and pre-
meditation enacted the legislation by
which these robberies were accom-
plished, and this is one of the issues
we desire the Capital to meet.
Lack of space this week prevents a
reply to some of the other statements
in the article under consideration,
but if a disposition is shown to treat
these questions fairly We shall be
glad to meet every proposition the
Capital or any other Republican
paper may submit. All we ask is
that history shall not be ignored, and
that facts and arguments may be
fairly considered when we present
them.

HOW ABOUT THE PENSION OFFICER

HOW ABOUT THE PENSION OFFICER
Republican papers just now are
having a great deal to say concerning
the immense amount of work which
Senator Plumb took upon himself In
pushing the pension claims of old
soldiers" and lamenting because he
was deprived of the aid Of five Con-
gressmen of this state who formerly
shared this work. The design is to
convey the impression that Congress
men and Senator'S elected by the
Peoples party will do nothing for the
soldiers. Without stopping to DIS
discuss this question for single mo-
ment, we assume that Peoples party
Representatives will do as much in
this direction as anybody. But just
in this connection We desire to inquire
what the vast machinery of the PEN
sion Office is for? Why is it neces-
ssry that the labor of looking after
and pushing" these claims should
be imposed upon Senators or Repre-
sentatives Of any party? There has
recently been erected in the city of
Washington an immense edifce with
ample capacity for the business Of
the department. The force in all the
offices is complete. Claims which 60
to the department are either just or
unjust, and are accompanied by the
necessary evidence or not as the case
may be, and it is the duty of officers
of the department to pass upon these
questions. That is what they are
there for and that is what they are
paid for doing. Senators and Rep
resentatives get no pay for that kind
Of work, and there is no reason why
their services should be required in q
single case. II the officers appointed
to do this work were honestly seeking
to do their duty there would be no
occasion for it. Let the Republican
press demand that honest and compe-
tent men be appointed in the pension
department and there will be no ne
cessity for any more Senators to over
work themselves in this particular
field. Let us have a little more hon
esty and good sense in the discussion
of public questions, and not insult
the intelligence of the people by such
efforts to make partisan capital out
of nothing.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL SCHEME.

Watch the proceedings of Congress
upon the Nicaragua canal scheme. 1t
contemplstes another steal similar to
that of the Union Pacific railroad;
and it is perfectly fitting that John
Sherman should introduce and cham
pion the bill. He has reduced rob-
berry by Legislative methods to a
science, and he understands all of its
intricacies. There is no more accom-
plished scoundrel on the western con-
tinent. Anything he favors may
justly be regarded with suspicion. II
there is to be a Nicaragua canal, and
this government is to build it, let the
government own and control it, and
the people will be satisfied. They
will not be satisfied if they have to
pay for it, and let private corpora
ton own it.

the following from sleading editorial
in the Kansas Democrat OF January 2,
1892, upon the appointment by Gov

the attention OF all honest men Of all

The Democrat is and has been "stlckler" for

the opposition of The ADVOCATE to

claims to be cooperative when it is
not. The company has three OF the

PENSION MONEY.

unuoIGhA1S w A0pIy " UAO OAAVAOAo"A
Of The ADVOCATE upon it's attitude
toward Senator PETERS pension bill,
but, as usual, fails entirely to meet
the real issues which We presented.
We desire TO state now that there are
some points in this bill which we do
not approve, and we expect to pub
lish the text of the bill and call at
tention to these next week. We
could not spare the space in this
issue.
We will accept the Capitals state
ment that it is not opposed to an in
crease Of pensions, as made in good
faith, and assume, therefore, that We
agree on this proposition, although
the chief objection urged against the
bill in it's former article was that it
proposed to increase the payments to
pensioners from $133,OOO,OOO to over
$0JO,OOO,OOO. However, let that pass.
We are glad to know that this is not
the ground Of opposition.
Now will the Capital fairly meet
the real issues which we presented
and which we here repeat? We will
state them specifically and pointedly.
First-Money is not a substance,
but creation of law, and all the
money we have to-day, gold and sill
YER not excepted, is "6st" money in
the same sense as would be the full
legal tender "irredeemable' (if the
Capital pleases) paper money pro-
posed to be issued by Senator PEI
fer's bill.
Second-The currency in which
the soldiers were paid while in the
service was not necessarily, but PUR-
POSELY deprecated. This is the
point to which we desire to call spe-
clal attention; and that while the
Capital is so conscientiously scrupu-
lous about the character of our money
at the present time, it seeks to hide
from the people the iniquity of the
conspiracy by which that in which
all classes Of creditors, except bond
holders, were paid during the war,
was thus purposely deprecated.
Will the Capital meet this proposi-
tion? It admits that the Republican
party paid the soldier in deprecated
money, but says it increased his
wages "by the amount of the depre-
citation" Let us see if this is true
At the beginning Of the war the
wages of the private soldier were $lS
per month. Gold ranged in price
from lO2 to 2S5, and a careful.
examination of the table of gold
premiums up to April, 1866, shows
the average to be 16O. Now let III
figure little on this basis. II it re
quired $l.6O IN greenbacks to buy s.
in gold, each dollar in greenbacks wa
worth 62f cents. The wages Of the pri
vate soldier were advanced to SIG, al
addition Of So per month, payable il
the same kind Of deprecated currency
This, which was worth 37a cents Oh
the dollar, was q real increase o

REBELLION AGAINST HILL.
Bolt Among Democrats in the New

Bolt Among Democrats in the New
York Legislature.
ALA8NY, April S.-A Democratic bolt
OF very serious proportions has occurred
in the Legislature. Colonel William
Brown of the Battery District, New York
and young Charles Walker of Corning
have taken unbrage at a published inter
view with Senator Hill, and yesterday
voted with the Republicans in the Senate
in determined effort to block the Con-
gresslonal reapportionment bill.
The following Is portion of the inter
view which angered the Senators: The
delay in the Legislature has increased the
feeling OF independence which prevails
in the party. Such feeling has grown
of late, and its prevalence is due largely,
l think, to the attitude of the last Ma
tional Democratic Administration. Some
Senators are getting SO independent that
they Will not promise to support party
measures. They say that they do not
propose to be delivered by anyone, but
will vote as they see fit. When they take
this stand the correspondents of Repub-
Hcan papers go to them and congratulate
them on their independence. They are
getting vain because of their reputation
for independence, and the correspondents
increase their vanity. The great trouble
with the party now is that men put per-
sonal interests before party success.
They should be told that on great party
measures they should vote with the
party"
