be very glad TO avoid that leap. Those who feel
that way-and they are legion-shOuld not give
the president further encouragement in his I'M

purposes and the wholesale destruction OF our
industries to be followed by the degradation Of
our labor. Let US inaugurate these victories

The democratic party present an anomalous
situation to-day. Divided on spoilS and torn up
over the distribution Of Office, disturbed with
the tariff and widely separated on the money
question, iuharmoniouS upon every vital issue,
divided into admins ira ton and antiadminis-
tration factions - in this condition they are
confronted with the grave and most serious
questions affecting the welfare of the country,
its credit and honor, and the prosperity OF the
people We need ordinarily care nothing for
their internal disputes, but when they inter-
fere with the enactment Of needed legislation
il brings TO all Of US the deepest concern: for
these happen to be questions which should be
considered free from personal and fractional diff
ferences, with an eye single TO the honor and
| well being Of the country.

al least, the party will preserve its record for

should be so divided The president can be as
Sured that in every patriotic undertaking TO

work for the restoration Of confidence and the
return OF good times.
Notice has gone forth that not onIy is the
tariff 10 be revised. but that the pension list is
to be revised. War is to be waged upon the
pensioners OF the country. No honest mar will
OBJECT 10 a pUrging o. this roll OF all who are
unworthily there. Every case must rest upon
its own facts l do not object TO unworthy men
being stricken from the roll-if there are such
but l do object to the impression which in
some quarters is being made that this whole
pension business is q fraud 1t is published in
the papers that an army Of pension examiners
are TO be Jet loose to travel from county to
county and from town to town TO hunt down the
pensioners and discover. il possible, If there be
men here and there who draw one or two dol
lars month in excess of what they are enti-
tied to under the law. The published ruling of
the secretary Ct the interior, announced in the
press, will strike from the pension roll OF the
country hundreds and thousands Of worthy and
dependent soldiers, who, if not altogether inca
pacitated. are practically incapacitated from
earning n living for themselves and families. 1t
is 10 this universal indictment against pension
ers that enter a solemn and emphatic protest
No outlay of the government is more worthily
bestowed or more widely distributed than the
money which goes TO the soldiers of the country
in the form of pensions 1t should be remem-
bered too that pensions are better than stand
ing armies, are less expensive and more Ameri-
can.
The republican party believes what it teach
es and practices what il breaches. II was or
gained in conviction and has succeeded be-
cause in all its years it has had convictions 1t
does not profess one thing and do another. II
has courage and stands by its PRINCIPLES just as
faithfully, just as loyalty after defeat as after
victory. In defeat all divisions are hushed, all
internal dissensions disappear. Principle and
conviction are supreme and ulasterful and they
constitute the bugle cali to duty. Those who
may have imagined that we would lower our
flag should no longer be deceived II floats
from the old flagstaff and is borne by as true
and fearless republicans as ever carried it in
the great conflicts Of the past 1t is not our
habit or our history TO take down our colorS
We put them where they are; We mean to keep
them there. We love them. for We believe in
what they stand for. and . hundred defeats
would not draw Us from the old field Of convic-
ton ard duty. Our PRINCIPLES are not ephem
eral. but eternal They are part and parcel
.: the foundation and fabric Of our government
They made US what We are-the freest and best
government in the world: they viii keep us
