Ceunmande Chief Wsissert ON the Pom
sion Question.
CANTON, O., Aug. 19.-At the grand
CO mp fire given by the local G. A. R.
at the tabernacle Thursday night
Commander-in-Chief A. G. Weissert, on
the subject of pensions, said:
''As far as pensions are concerned
there is not man on the pension rolls
to-day who was not placed there hon
estly and just as the pension laws re-
qnired him to be. If you find a man
da awning a pension illegally the govern
m-nt considers it your duty to report
tt ct man. The G. A. R. is just as
al xious for the enforcement of the
laws now as it was in 1s6l-65. Moth
ing has occurred since then to change
it's views. We object to anyone as
sailing the entire pension roll without
citing single case. 1t generally oc-
ours that those who assail the pension
rolls were not in the army on either
side. The membership of the G. A. B.
is always loyal"

vINDICTlvE STRIKERS.

They Beat Miners for Returning to Work
and Threaten Their Helpless Families.
LEAvENwoRTH Kas., Aug. 1s.-About
forty miners went into the shaft yester-
day morning of the Riverside mines,
after an idleness of about two months,
due to the miners strike.
When they went to work at noon
they were pelted with rocks and jeered
and cursed by a gang of strikers. The
entire force of workers charged the
strikers, who beat a rather hasty re-
treat, although they greatly outnum.
bered the workers.
Several of the number who resumed
work yesterday morning quit at noon,
owing to the fact that their wives and
families had been threatened with ex-
termination by the secret order of the
strikers. One man reported to the po-
lice that striker threatened to raid
and burn him alive in his house If he
did not quit work.
The sheriff has sworn in numerous
deputies, who will be on the ground
this morning to prevent any further
violence.
