IF the present administration de-
sires to earn the real gratitude OF the
people, let it set to work, in some
way, il there is way possible, to re-
lieve the country Of the pension in
cubus. According to Senator Cor
man, by the end of this yesr the to-
tai amount of appropriations neces-
sary to pay the pensions will be two
hundred million dollars. That is,
two hundred dollars per year each,
FOR one million men. Now the pen
sions do not average $780,, 3 year
each, 81 there must be more than
one million pensioners OH the list.
Surely there IL no possible uretense
justice in the claims under which
pensions are paid to 80 mauy people.
No one would object, whether ne
fought on one side o" the other, Ia
paying tensions to those men Whr
We're real!y disabled in service dur
ung war, but TO put on the list al.
most every msu who was enrol'ed
in the Federal Army, ~ not only al
outrage upon the people, bat dis
grace to the majority who are re-
Giving them.
This IS an evil that Las grown uI
under successive Republican admin
istratious, and 80 far IA Republican
ism is concerned was strictly in &C
cord with what seems to be its fun
dameuIal principle, that il, to &c
out Of the government every cent i
possibly can under color Of law
RepUbl cans chiefly, have been tn
beneEc aries Of this policy, and 70
this reason Republicans aside frou
their natural desire to rob th
treasury have fostered it, But Demo
Gratis toD, in some sections have bee
too willing to excuse it. They to
have had regard to the "oli soldier
vote, anu have looked with to
much indifference upon this schem
OF whOlesa robbery. But now tina
the party is fully in power, let Il
earnestly hone that Congress- vii
probe this whole business 20 the bo
tom and by general laws, specis
laws, repeats aud any other possibI
, means, put stop to ii. By far tn
1 heaviest burden the people now hav
to carry is the pension list. Let I
get rii Uf it.

IT is pleasing TO note that in spite
of the efforts of the Wall Street gang
to put gold at premium by reducing
the amount oil, j, in the National Treas
ury below the legal limits of the re-
serve. there are SOME bankers and
capitalists in the country who are
willing to sacrifice any profit they
might max e out Of such n premium
and have come to the assistance Of
the Government. Bankers in Dem
yer, Chicago, aud other cities have
offered to exchange gold to the ex
tent OF several millions, with the
National Treasury for treasury noes,
These gentlemen deserve the thanks
O! the entire commercial world. II
the expectation of gold goes o4 as II
has been going, and the balance OF
trade remains against Us rs it has
been for some time, it is almost GER
tain that gold will command ,
premium, and that a general panic
viii follow with ruin aud miser!
; TO many, anle-s those who have IT,,
gold come to the rescUe. IL seem
perfectly absurd that there should b,
ruin and suffering in s. coGHtry lik,
this, in every part Of which there j.
the gre% est abundance OF all thos
thiags that constitute wealth. AM
yet so tiuid is money that, it will
on the slightest scare, be withdraw
from the reach Of great many PEG
pie, thus baking the wheels OF com
meree and causing commercial rnil
to g great many whose assets ar
greatly IN excess of their liabilities
A lack of confidence in the future,
as disastrous as the absolute lack q
money For that reason every capi
tslist who has any large amount G
gold and who has at heart, the goo
Of the country, ought to offer it to tn
Government in exchange for note
For use in circulation, papt
is better than gold. la fact the onl
considerable use to which gold is puts
money, is the tx lcrting Of it. Thel
is no reason, therefore, way the pc,
pie who have it should not traDstt
the bulk Of it to the Government i
exchange for paper. Any reasonab
: thing should be done to estabIis
confidence.

The present Legislature of the
State Of Tennessee Is considering
some matters of great imp Nrtauce to
all the people Of the State, aud there
is no one of greater moment than the
convict question. Making provision

Of affairs is disgrace TO the State
and an objectionable imposition up-
on the couvicts themselves, who
still have the rights OF humanity il
they are law breakers. The best
thing that Can be done to reach the

would be the appointment OF n com
