What Commander Weissert, of the
Grand Army, said on the subject Of PEN
sons was temperate and..t the point. 1t
is clearly unjust to compel the man who
has been receiving a pension for many
years to establish anew his right to it
to the satisfaction of the Hon. Hoke
Smith and Commissioner Lochren on
pain of losing it altogether. If the de-
partment suspects that a pension is fraud
ulent it is clearly it's duty to present to
the pensioner the evidence on which that
suspicion rests, and give him chance
to rebuff it before disseminating his
pension. The man whose name is or
the pension roll is presumed to have
furnished at some time satisfactory
reasons for placing it there, his name
ought to be presumed to be there right
fully, and before it is taken off it ought
to ba c!eary established that it does not
belong there. The first ruling of Commits
sioner Lochren reversed the well known
principle of the. common law that man
is presumed to be innocent until proved
guilty. 1t put upon the pensioner the
burden of proving his innocence, and
that, too, without disclosing to him the
evidence on which guilt was suspected.
That ruling has now been modified, and
made to conform more nearly to what
is fair and just, but the injustice done
to many pensioners before its modifica-
tiorl Gas not yet, we believe, been recti-
fed. 1t ought to be without delay.

The people who think that single-hand-
ed and alone we could engage in the I'M
limited coinage Of silver at the present
ratio and maintain a parity between
gold and silver, must be very sanguin
lot. The market value of the bullion in
silver dollar today is about 60 cents.
The problem we have got before us if
we adopt free coinage at the present ratio
is to make every 60 cents worth of silver
that may be sent to our minis pass for q
hundred cents worth. There are two
conceivable ways to do that One is by
promising to redeem the silver
dollars in gold and convincing
the people of our ability to
do it. The other is by compelling by
legal. enactment with severe penalties
people to accept them for the value that

It is beginning to appear that Senator
VOORHEES,, who undertook to lead
the friends of repeal of the Sher-
man law in the Senate, is very
faint-hearted commander. 1t is
obvious to everybody who has
watched the progress of the debate that
the silver senators are talking merely
against time, in the hope that they will
discourage the repealers and make them
willing to compromise. They know per-
fectly well that if the bill were forced
to vote now it would pass, hence all
their tactics are for the purpose of post
poning vote. The proper way to meet
them, in the absence of rules for the
stopping of debate, is to lengthen the
daily sessions of the Senate. Voorhees,
saw this and started bravely with a
resolution to convene the Senate at IL
o'clock in the forenoon. But his ardor
suddenly cooled, and on Wednesday he
sheepishly withdrew the resolution. 1t APP
pears that majority of the Democrats
on the finance committee are opposed to
repeal, and consequently to sany move
ment that may tend to hasten repeal.
They protested against the II O'Clock
resolution, and although Voorhees, had
q majority of the whole committee with
him, he weakly yielded. If Voorhees, is
to contnue.to lead the frepealers in this
half-hearted fashion the chances are
that vote will not be reached before

What reason is there for believing that
free coinage will raise the market value
of silver? Our limited coinage has
had no such effect. Silver has steadily
dropped since the passage of the Bland
Allison bill. The highest figure silver
ever reached in this country was in 1878,
when the silver dollar was practically
obsolete.

Fairfax Notes.

Diphtheria has made its appearance
in the upper part of the county.
Mr.. Bobt. T. Moulden, son Of Mr.. r.
r. Moulden, of Mt. Vernon district,
died on Saturday. He was twenty-five
years old.
A colored boy, Ernest Withers, about
nine years old, was found dead on
Wednesday of last week, near Center
vile, having frozen to death.
It is said that in the will of the late
John a. Marshall, he bequeathed $500
to one of his colored servants. She is
also getting a government pension for
the services of her deceased husband.
We would respectfully call the attcn-
ton of the Board of Supervisors to the
Accotink bridge at the Bone Mill. We
think the people of the county have
spent about $500 at that place, and
still we have no bridge.

SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. 81, 1898.

DEMPSEY. one Of the leaders OF the
Homestead strike, has been tried by a
;urv of his own vicinase and found
guilty of melting and bribins men to
nut poison into the food Of the non
union laborers who took the places OF
the strikers. 1t has also been proved
that in the poisoning referred to some
of the other leaders of the strike were
implicated, and that another of the
leaders was an ex-convict who had
learned his trade in prison. Labor
movements can never succeed as long
as laborers choose such men for their
leaders. The result of the Homestead
trials substantiates the testimony OF the
chief of the Pinkertons, which was TO
the effect that the crimes of some OF the
unconvicted labor leaders in this coun-
try are positively unnatural, and so
outrageously reckless, cruel and mon
strous as to strain the credulity even OF
those who entertain the w rst opinion
of human nature.

Lone ISLAND CITY. L. l., Jan. IL
Mayor Sanford, accompanied by about
50 of his followers, invaded the Mayors
office at II o'clock this morning and at
once made demand on Gleason TO va.
cate and surrender the books and pa.
pers to him. Gleason at once spranp
to his feet and exclaimed You will
not take possession of this Office unless
you kill me aud walk over my body
Immediately the lawful custodian OF
the peoples rights said 81 do not pro-
pose to surrender this office without an
order from Supreme Court At this
number of Sanforditcs pushed forward
and waving their fists in the air, shout.
ed "Put him out, put him out the
bic buffer" Gleason, as he stood near
the rail leading to the desk, grew very
red in the face, and continuing to wave
his big fist in the air, said that an army
of bullies could not irighten him. Chief
of Police Woods with a squad of hi,
men entered the Mayors office and
pushed the crowd back. Chief Woods
said he was there to preserve the pub.
lie peace and he would not permit any
violence on either side.
By advice of his lawyer, Sanford
then took possession of the City Hall
by force. At 1870 o'clock Gleason Va.
Gated the Mayors office in the City
Hall and went to his Office in From,

DIR. McGLYNN is on record, over his
own name, as saying: 81 would bring
about instantly, if l could, such a
change of laws all the world over as
would conGscate private property IN
land, without one penny of compensa-
ton to the mis-called owners" Was
Mgr. Satolli aware of this when he re-
stored to the priesthood a man who
had publicly abused and ridiculed the
head of his church, and does the Pope,
who removed the ban of excommunica-
ton from the Doctor. sanction any such
communistic doctrine? And the worst
of this, for the Catholic church, is the
fact that the Doctor says he has never
uttered a word on the subject that he
ever will retract.

A BEAUTIFUL AND RICH DRUNKARD
Several wcll-known Brooklyn people
were in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn,
Yesterday to hear the testimony on the
application of Mrs. Woodwork for a
commission to take care of the person
and effects of her daughter, Mrs. An
toinette Page. Mrs. Woodworth's
daughter is the wife of Dr. Emmett d.
Page, a specialist on diseases of child
rem, who resides in that city. Previ-
Gus to her marriage to the physician,
Antoinette was the wife Of Chauncey
Marshall, one of Brooklyn's wealthiest
and best citizens. Mrs Page is q hand
some woman of the brunette type, fond
of excitement. 1t was for that reason
that her first husband went to Rhode
Island and procured divorce. Now
DR.. Page has a suit for absolute divorce
on the calendar awaiting trial. The
physician alleges that his wife frequent
ed Coney Island last summer she
drank wine and associated with several
men whom he mentions as co-respon-
dents. The action brought yesterday
morning by the woman's mother Is on
account of her drinking habits. Mrs.
Woodwork says she tried all in her
power to break her daughter of the
terrible habit, but in vain. After labor
ing for weeks, the old lady says that
she would find her daughterin "tpsy"
condition after leaving her alone for a
short time. Mrs. Woodwork alleges
that her daughter is a habitual drunkard
and unable to take care of herself. The
morning session was devoted to obtain
ing Jury. In the afternoon evidence
concerning Mrs. Pages designations last
summer was heard. The doctors wife
was not in court. When one of the

UNDER THE Constitution the national
government cannot interfere with the
coal owners in the matter of the ways
and means by which they increase the
price of coal. But Congress has the
power to remove the tariff on soft coal.
To do so would necessarily bring that ar
ticle into competition with foreign coal,
and. consequently would reduce its price
and increase its consumption, and there
by lessen the demand for, and decrease
the price of hard coal. Why shouldn't
Congress try the experiment, and re-
move the tariff tax on coal just Tor a
starter.
