Mr.. CleveInnd's Duty.

Under the peculiar circumstances of the
times Mr.. Cleveland has already e1erted
powers almost autocratic with reference
to the Democratic party, and the party
has acquiesced in his course. If he should
assume to assure the country that pro-
lection shall not be disturbed by his party
he would not be arrogating to himself
anything greater than those assumptions
with which the country is already familiar,
while at the same time he will do much to
reassure our business mon and restore
confidence where there is now nothing
but distrust. York Morning Ad

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
PRICE REDUCED TO Soc. A YEAR.

The AMERICAN FARMER-the Oldest
agricultural paper in the country, having
been established in Isis now published
ut 1929 New York avenue, Washington,
DC. Its form has been changed to an
eight-page paper, containing So columns of
choicest agricultural matter, contributed by
the ablest farming experts In the United
States No pains or expense are spared to
secure the very best and most practical in
formation on every subject of importance to
the farmer
Being published at the National Capita
it has many facilities for obtaining iDforma-
tion and knowledge not possessed by papers
elsewhere.
This fact is of much more than usual i'm
portance to the farmers at this time, when
there is so much going on in Congress that
bears directly upon the prosperity of every
man engaged in tilling the soil The session
just opened has already begun the discussion
Of measures of the greatest interest to all
farmers, and this will be continued through
cut the Winter THE AMERICAN FARMER
win report these fully and impartially, and
every farmer should take the paper to keep
himself properly informed.
The Paper appears twice month-on the
LIST and 15th-and is furnished at the low
price OF 80 cents year, or less than two
cents number. No other paper offers such
o large amount of reading matter Of the
highest class at such low figure.

ANOTHER SPECIMEN.

Some weeks ago we gave sketch OF the
57th Mass, as an answer to the New York
Suns ridiculous figures about the proper
tion Of pensioners to men actually present IN
the field at given times.
The 31st Me. is another excellent illustra-
ton. It was the next to the last regiment
that Maine raised for the war, and it did not
leave the State until April 10, 1864. 1t went
Immediately to the front On the Rappahan-
mock, and before it was month from home
was in the midst of the awful hell of the
Wilderness, where out of the S39 men en-
rolled, it lost II killed and SO wounded. A
few days later, at Spottsylvania, it lost II
killed "a wounded and one missing. AtNorth
Anna 1t lost one killed, at Totopotomoy three,
at Bethesda Church Is killed and SO wound
ed, at Cold Harbor six killed. 1t was among
the first regiments in the assaults on Peters
burg, where it suffered terribly. By October
the 939 men with which it had left the State
had been reduced to but 60 fit for duty, but
those 60 were as ready for service as had
been their dead and wounded comrades
whom they left in long trail over the
bloody path upon which Grants and Lees
armies had fought from the Rappahannock
to the Appomattox.
According to the Suns figures, tho 60 men
who were present for duty in October would
represent all of the original 939 who were
real soldiers. The imputation of the Sun,
and those who bark in chorus with it, is that
all the rest of the regiment was skulking in
the rear, or looking out for bigger bounties
in another part of the army.
But when we look over the returns we
find there were Is officers and 1855 men killed
on the field, 81 had died in rebel prisons and
142 in hospitals, and 445 had received
non-mortal wounds. That Is, within few
months after leaving the State the $50 men
had sustained total loss of 604 men, or
almost exactly eight out Of every nine.
Think for moment what that meant.
The men of the 31st probably received large
bounties as bounties were considered In
those days, but we challenge any carper
against pensions to say candidly whether as
many greenbacks as could be hauled on a
hay-rack would be any temptation for him
to 90 through the experience the 31st Me.

TEE ST. Louis Republic accuses the GAR
Post at Honolulu of having plotted and
carried out the Hawaiian revolution, and
started the annexation movement This is
the least harmful thing the Republic has
ever said about the Grand Army of the
Republic, and probably the nearest true.
The Post had too high sense of its duty
60 take part in the political movement as a
Post, but we have no doubt that the indi-
vidual members were active promoters OF
the scheme, and are among the most earnes {
advocates of annexation. 1t will be great
day for the comrades when Old Glory shall
be hoisted as the supreme banner of the
Hawaiian Archipelago.

REPRESENTATIVE LyrrLE,s PLAN.

REPRESENTATIVE LlTILE'S PLAN.
Congressman j. J. Little, of New York,
has plan for purifying the pension roll"
He proposes to have printed and hung up in
all the postoffices of the country the names
of all pensioners in their respective localities,
and then upon report to the Commissioner of
Pensions by two citizens that any soldier is
not entitled to pension the pension of
said soldier shall be at once suspended, and
some Justice of the Peace in the neighbor-
hood shall proceed to try the case and re-
port, etc, and if the pensoner fails to take
an appeal within 80 days his name shall be
stricken from the rolls.
This is very fine scheme-for the pen
mensely fat job to some partizan politician
in preparing and printing the lists. 1t has
been estimated that it would cost $4,000
600, or as much as would pay the pensions
of 100000 pensioners at 500 year, to do
this. Itwould be delightful thing to take
the pensions away from 100000 old veterans
and their wives, and distribute them among
gang of hungry spoilsmen.
Next, every pension is to be at the mercy
of any two Of the pensioners neighbors.
Any time veterans chickens happen to
scratch up his neighbours garden, or he ex-
presses too freely his opinion of somebody's
cussedness, ready revenge is to be obtained
by rushing off to the nearest Justice of the
Peace and making information" about his
pension. Then the Justice Of the Peace is
to try the whole case over again, and require
the unfortunate pensioner to make good his
right TO an allowance from the Government.
How many Justices know enough about
pension laws to give the case proper hear
ing? How is the pensioner going to get his
witnesses from the ends of the country every
time sneaking, mean-souled neighbor at
tacks himp
Who is going to pay all the costs of this
examination Justices Of the Peace and
Copstables do not work for nothing They
keep very sharp lookout for fees, and these
will have to be paid either by the informant
the pensioner, or the Government If the
latter pays them, the expenses of running
the pension system would be doubled or
trebled inside of few months, because JUS
tees would not neglect such an excellent
opportunity to add to their incomes, and they
would take care to have pension cases
enough before them to occupy their entire
time.
Mr.. Titles bill should be entitled "A bill
to encourage malignant spitefulness and
tale-bearing among neighbors, and enrich
Justices of the Peace at the expense of PEN
sioners and the United States Treasury"

DIR ANNEXATION POLICY.

We shall annex the Hawaiian Islands and
provide them Government, either that of
District, like those of Alaska or the Dis
trict of Columbia, OF that Of Territory
The former seems more likely, as the white
people there strennously oppose the admis-
sion of the Chinese coolies and semi-barbar-
Gus natives to any political privileges.
With this we shall enter upon a definite
policy of acquisition of foreign territory.
The example of the people of Hawaii will
be followed by numbers of other little coun-
tries which are weary Of the corruption and
insecurity of their form of misgovernment,
and are anxious to secure peace and pros
perity under our flag, and their proper share
of the commercial advantages of being an
integral part of this country.
We may expect a general movement In
this direction in the West India Islands and
the countries of Central and South America.
In most of them there is already more or
less strong element favoring annexation.
In 1871 the people Of Santo Domingo, by q
nearly-unanimous vote, asked to be annexed
TO the United States, but Senator Sumner,
who was filled with personal hatred of
President Grant, succeeded in defeating the
acceptance of their offer. The Dutch and
H. To- I,o
glad to come in, as would also the British,
but it will be long day before the latter
will be allowed to follow the bent of their
wishes. 1t is only question of few years
when San Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua.
Guatemala and Honduras will be knocking
at our doors.
There Is no reason why oil of these should
not be taken in as fast as they offer them
selves, if we adopt the proper policy. We
| cannot admit them to ll-fedged Statehood,
with all the rights and privileges of Ameri-
| can citizens for their inhabitants, without
| q probation which shall determine their TT
| ness. What we can do, no viewer, will be ia
! give them such Government as England
has been giving to her colonies, and such a,
is proposed for Honolulu. That Is, they
can be governed as the District of Columbia
is, by Governors and other officers appointed
by the President and confirmed by the SEN
ate, and who will execute laws made by
| Congress. This will insure them much
better Government than they have at pres.
| emit and all the benefits of unrestricted com.

vantages sufficient to impel them to seeh

All will be astounded to see how few there
are of these. The number is made up of
native Americans who have been sent out of
represent their interests abroad; of foreign
born veterans, who have wandered back to
their native places to spend their last years
with relatives, and of widows of such, who
for some reason or another have chosen to
live abroad. The proposition to take away
their pensions is mean and unjust to the last
degree. They earned their pensions just as
fairly as any other class did, and there is
absolutely no justification of the mean as
sault upon them.

ENGLAND has recognized the force OF the
situation and announces that she viii enter
no protest against the annexation of Hawaii,
but Germany has the assurance to hint that
if she consents to it we must make compen-
saton by Withdrawing from Somoa. OF
course we shall do nothing of the kind.
Germany has no rights whatever in Hawaii
The fact that there are some German citi-
zens in business there is of no more conse-
quence than that there are some German
citizens in business in the United States.
They will be benefited by the annexation,
along with all other residents of the islands.
Our rights in Samoa have no connection
with Hawaiian affairs. We are there at the
request of the Samoan people, to protect
them from the aggressons of the Germ ans,
who were taking their lands away, and OPP
pressing them in various ways. We will
not 90 away until the Samoan people want
us to, which insures pretty long stay. If
there were no Samoan people at all we
should still maintain foothoid on the
islands, for that is necessary to the protec-
ton of our increasing trade with Australia
and New Zealand. 1t is sheer impudence
for the Germans TO talk about our leaving
the islands, under any consideration.
