COMMANDER MACK ON PENSIONS.


Commander Mack of the G.. A. r.,
made an excellent address at Grand
Army Hall on Wednesday evening. He
talked almost exclusively of soldier
pensions. He gave an interesting
recital of the pension systems Of Eng
land, Germany, France and spain and
compared the same with our system.
He did not endorse the Dependent pen
sion bill passed in 1890, but said he
favored a Service pensiOn law. This is
exactly the position taken by the
NEWS s-DEMoCRAT from the start. We
favored the Service pension law,
that the Republican Conglees defeated
in 1890 We said then that the Depend
ent pension law was an unjust law be-
cause it proposed to pay larger pensions
TO men of short service, who incurred
no disability, than to old veterans,
wounded in battle. IT has turned out
just that way. Hence IL is unpopular
with veterans, and is denounced by pat
riotic citizens who have observed its
operations. Furthermore we said that
the Dependent pension bill would take
as much money out of the treasury as a
Service pension law. We are now real.
izing on this fact. The Dependent
pension law was not Grand Army
measure at the time of its passage.
me Grand Army asked for the Service
pension bill. Commander Mack did
not state this, but every soldier knows
that it is true. Commander Mack
spoke in advocacy of liberal pensions
for all soldier, who cid service, and on
on that point all patriotic men and
women should agree.

A SOLDIER defend, the Depender

A SOLDIER defends the Dependent
pension law in this issue of. the
NEWS DEMOCRAT. This defense as
sumes that some pension haters have
attacked the patriotism of the 80 days
men, and the militia called out during
the Morgan raid and When the rebels
were advancing ou Penn, previous to
the battle of Gettysburg. Our CORE
spondent confuses the question. A
pension is not granted to a man on ac-
count of his patriotism, but on account
of injury received in the performance
of patriotic duty. The men who rushed
TO the defense of Washington, when
Lee started on his raid into
pennsylvania, and the men who
chased John Morgan through
Ohio and Indiana, were patriotic
men, but they fought no battles, endur-
ed no hardships and suffered no per-
sonal harm. Hence they are not now
entitled to as large pensions as the men
who fought our battles, whipped the
rebel armies and saved the Union.
The Dependent Pension bill, passed In
1880, pays more pensions to men who
did no service, and suffered no per-
sonal injury than it does to the men
who are suffering from gun shot
wounds, and the exposures and hard.
ships of long campaigns. Here is
where the injustice comes in. And
this is the vital point our correspondent
does not discuss.

THERE is little town near Wooster
Ohio, called Paradise, but the name
don't fit the town, as well as a hand
made overcoat. An aged farmer
named John Buhrer. whose farm
touches the outskirts of Paradise, has
just been victimzed by a dark eyed
gypsy girl out of his gold, in a quite
unique way. This girl told him how to
get rich very suddenly by following her
directions. She told him to deposit $50
in gold in certain lonely spot, and by
day light the next morning, by her
magical charms would make the
amount 800. He obeyed her with the
full est confidence, and to his delight he
the next morning, found that the SOC
had sure enough doubled itself into
800 of solid yellow gold. He promptly
informed the gypsy magician Of his
good fortune, and was eager for further
advancement TO wealth. She was Sc
good and kind as TO tell him he was
worthy to always find his gold doubled
and advised him TO deposit 500 next
time, and thus obtain 5000, and so on
until he had loads of money. The next
morning he went to the lonely spot aud
found his 800 gone, and the dark eyed
gypsy girl, with the magical power, was
no where TO be found.

HELPl policel A negro was taken
from jail near Spriu glield last Tuesday
night by a mob of white men and tarred

lin Ohio) and not overcome by our
Republican brethren with wrath and
wretchedness at the treatment Of the
down.trodden negro, even In OhiOp He
had stolen white girl and kept her
secreted for several days, but, of course
that fact has nothing to do with the
cass--from Republican standpoint
Exchange.
The fact that this much tarred negro
stole white girl, instead of q yellow
girl, had everything tp do with his case.
Had he stolen yellow girl he would
never have been tarred by the irate
Republicans, who took him violently
from Jail. Neither is it true that he
stole the white girl. The girl went off
with the negro on her choice, and it was
not even case of petit larceny. Then
why does the Governor of Ohio, who
claims to be in favor of the civil rights
law, and an especial friend of the
colored race, allow this colored man to
be taken violently from Jail and tarred
and feathered, without even an attempt
to ferret out mud punish the perpetra-
tors of the outrage? Why are the as
sumed champions of the colored race,
the Republican newspapers, silent on
this case, in the very heart of Ohio
when they are so loud in denouncing
similar outrages in the South, far less
aggravated?
