favorable to claimants, they must and
should be limited in their operation to
the future work of the Office, and not the
past.
I'VE demand that there shall be no
backward step in pension legislation or
administration; that no pensioner shall
be deprived Of his property without due
process Of law, that the presumption
shall be in favor Of honesty and fair
dealing; that the poor and lowly shall
not be put to unnecessary, expensive or
oppressive process to protect their
meager pittsnces; that the sacred trust
in favor Of those who have borne the
battle shall be sscr6dly observed and
sacredly administered, and we do now
solemnly and deliberately declare that
every presumption should be made in
favor Of records 80 made; that no pre-
sumption Of fraud shall be indulged in
against them, and that no change be
made in the pensions 80 accorded until
after charges have been made and evil
dence in support thereof has been pro-
duced, Of which charge each pensioner
has had full notice and full and COM
plete opportunity to be heard in support
Of the pension 30 accorded him. Be it
further
ResOIOsd, That as the commissioner of
pensions, by his recent Withdrawals of
the obnoxious rulings which have been
SO generally condemned, has virtually
acknowledged the incorrectness OF such
rulings, we deem it his further duty to at
once restore to the rolls the thousands
Of pensioners now standing illegally sus-
pended.
The report was unanimously adopted.

Same Old Militia,

Gen. Artz's militia got on high lonesome at
Garnett the night before they left, and sacked
several stands, and tore Il merry-go-round all
topieces, besides insulting everybody they met
on the streets by calling them dirty dogs and
other vile names. The bin OF damages will
doubtless come out of the state in the course
of time-Ottawa Daily Republican
The militia that csmped at Gsrnett are
the militia that were in existence before
Artz ever became adjutant general. 1t is
the same old militia that was under the
command Of Hughes who refused to obey
orders. This militia is republican almost
to q man. The chumps around on the
alley that wrote the above have probably
been reading the Topeka Capital and i'm
sGined that all the republicans had been
dismissed and o Populist militia organ
ICED. But it is not 30. With the excep-
tion OF cavalry company in Ossge
county, not one new company has been
recruited. The militia Of this state is the
same old republican crowd that existed
before the Populists came into power.
Some of the militia from the west had
to delay here for some hours when going
to Garnett The republican sheets Of
this town took it for granted that the
militia Of this state had been organized
and were now all Populists. Accordingly
they roasted these; said they were in
sulting and unmannerly, and that Artz
had instructed them to be that way to
republicans. Saturday these same COM
paniss had to stop here again on their
way back. We met some Of the officers
and talked with them, and told them
what had been said. The captains Of
both companies are old.time republicans,
and got their commissions from republi-
can governors. Capt. Wilcox, Of Com
pRny D, is, we believe, the oldest captain,
as to service, in the state, and was last
winter an employe Of the Douglass
house. He has been in the militia since
1879.
This is the kind of militia that the re-
publican scribes Of Ottawa refer to as
"Gen. Artz's militia" The fact is, Gen.
Artz would gladly get rid Of this militia.
It is republican inheritance Of which

affairs by the votes OF 80 per cent Of the
republican members and 54 per cent Of

publican members, 46 per cent of the
democrats and 100 per cent Of the Pop.
ulists voted in favor OF American inter
ests. Take your cholcesbetveen the par

the vote in the house indicates how it

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.


Everything Waiting On the Repeal
Bill.
WASHINGTON, September ia meet
Of board Of trade members from cities all
over the country will be held in Wash
ington this week, the object being to
establish q headquarters here for the
purpose Of promoting legislation favor
able to their interests.
Congressman W. J. Bryan, Of Ne
braska, will lead the fight for free lumber
when the tariff bill comes up. He has
promised his northwestern constituents
this concession, and it ia q most import
ant one to the growing sections Of the
northwest, who are in part dependent on
Canadian lumber.
In the ways and means committee,
most of the time is being devoted to
listening to arguments by the iron and
steel manufacturers for q retention Of
the present duty on iron, steel and tin
manufactured in this country.
1t is announced that thirty-three senA-
tors have arranged to speak on the re-
peal law, and that besides these, ten or
twelve others may decide to take hand
before the conclusion of the debate.
Should this prove true, 1t is more than
probable snow will be flying before the
matter is settled.
The public interest in the ways and
means committee increases daily and, the
spacious room occupied by the gentle
men who are to formulate the rever th
policy OF the democratic congress ID
crowded at every meeting almost beyond
capacity. During the coming week there
will take place the most important hear
ings Of the committee, as nearly all the
representatives Of the more prominent
manufactures and interested industries
are scheduled for presentation OF thei
arguments between now and Saturday
next. Under the rules of the committee
the hearings close on the Goth inst, and
the preparation Of q general tariff bill
will at once be begun.
On Saturday the resolution offered by
Mr.. PETER. Of Kansas, calling for infor-
nation whether the national banks in
Philadelphia, New York or Boston had
maintained their lawful reserve, and
whether they had paid their checks in
currency was brought up, and Mr.. PET
fer said that the banks had been per-
mitted by the executive officers Of the
government to openly violate the law,
and the purpose OF bis resolution was to
know why this was being done. The de-
bate continued on the motion Of Mr.. Nc
PherSon, Of New Jersey, to refer the
resolution to the finance committee un-
til 2 o'clock, when the repeal bill was
laid before the senate, and the resolu-
tion want ovAP nntil Monday.

children pledged to the Populist cause
the votes of all the qualified voters in the
family, amounting to thirty-two. The
old gentleman created quite a sensation
by making this declaration at a public
meeting. He had always been repub-
lican.
Through the old JeffersoniRn, Editor
MartindRle and Colonel Green are MAX
ing it exceedingly unpleasant for the
aggregation of hRngers-on that have dis
graced Douglass county for so long a
time. The Blathersklte Simmonses may
do to fill the mayors chair in Lawrence
but 1t is safe to predict that Douglass
county will send no more Of them to the
legislature.

EmpOria is winner of doubtful honor.
When the bill to appropriate $4,000 to
build an addition to the State Normal
school building was pending before the
legislature a committee of Emporia men
pledged their honor to see that the site
Of this building should be furnished
without cost to the state. This pledge
was violated and Auditor Prsther re-
fused to issue warrant to pay for the
grounds which the board OF public
works selected. The matter was taken
into the supreme court, which decided
on Saturday that the state should pay
the amount, $500.
The military board held q session last
week, the principal business of which
was to provide for defraying the expenses
of the court martial. Witness CLAIMS
and other bills amounting to about 5000
were presented, but the board summsrilY
curtailed the amount by making some
amendments to the rules governing the
national guard. This enabled them to
reduce the expenses to about $500.
One amendment limited witness fees to
level with those allowed in district
courts, and another was this resolution
offered by General Daniels: "Thst Off
GERS ordered on duty as members of q
court martial, convened in time OF peace,
be allowed, per diem, pay authorized by
statute for duty in camps cents per
mile for each mile necessarily travelled
in the performance of such duty, and So
per day for each day they are required
to be from home for doing such duty;
and that the expenses of such courts held
in time Of peace, for ofenses committed
IN time of war, insIrrection, riot or inn
minent danger thereof, should be met by
draft on the fund appropriated for active
service"

Sheriff, of Pennsylvania
The G. A. r. committee on pensions
presented lengthy report which con-
tanned this in relation to the disability
act:
"This act was accepted by the surViv-
ing soldiers and by the people in general
as a settlement Of the question. Under the
administration Of that law the poor house
gave up it's veterans, he who had borne
the battle was cared for, and thus the
sacred trust accepted and left as a legacy
to the nation was faithfully admins
tered.
"Withln q few months we hear with
with profound sorrow and regret that all
this must be changed. That the con-
struction Of the law has been changed,
and the regulations and rules in regard
to proof and ratings, under which more
than 100000 claims have been allowed
and paid, have been revoked, and another
construction of the law has been estsb-
lished and new regulations for proof and
ratings, less favorable to claimants, have
been adopted; that a board Of revi sion
has been organized in the pension Office,
charged with the duty Of revising all
these sdjudicated claims, in accordance
with the new construction and such
changed regulations as to proof and
ratings. Under these changes thou
sands Of pensions have been suspended
without notice, and thousands Of pen
sioners have been dropped from the
rolls.
"To emphasize the Viciousness OF the
situation and accusation, we learn that
it is said, as though by authority, that
sit is expected that many Of the pension
ers 80 summsrily suspended or dropped
will be able to prove that they are still
entitled to the pensions Of which they
have been deprived" thus saying in no
voice that the burden is not
upon the party alleging fraud, but that
the government which they had pre-
served shall FIRST brand with infamy by
the charge, then sentence, and after the
stigma had been effective then concede
to them, whom barriers and support of
character have been thus undermined,
the pitiful privilege Of moving fon a new
trial upon the ground Of newly dis
covered evidence.
"We deny that the secretary OF the in
terror and commissioner Of pensions
have any such power. We insist that
the adjudication divisions of the pension
Office, acting unde' the direction and
of the commissioner Of pen
sions and secretary of the interior, are
tribunals established by authority Of
law for the settlement Of pension claims,
