Deserters on the Pension Rolls.

! On May /, 1865, the whole force of the
/ federal army consisted of ,O00,516 men.
/ On May 1, 1894, Jwenty-nine years after
I the close of the war the pension rolls
contained the names of nearly 100000
/ federal pensioners. almost as many names
( as there were on the army rolls at the
high water mark of tine enlistment. not
withstanding the fact that federal sol
diers were killed during the war and that
survivors of the struggle have since died.
1t was the dearest wish of the admins
tration of the pension bureau under re
publican rule TO swell the pension roll to
] coo 600 names. and Commissioner Raum
made exceptional efforts TO accomplish
that end during President Harrison's
term. He bad the able assistance of re-
publican members of congress, who rail
roaded private pension bills through for
the benefit of those former attaches of
the federal army who could not possibly
come in under the elastic pension laws
and the more elastic rulings of the de-
partment managers.
The New York Times shows conclu-
sively that in order 10 initiate the pension
lists, chiefly for the purpose of catching
votes, the repu ublicans in the bureau and
in congress gathered in the deserters and
bounty jumpers almost indiscriminately.
And thousands of these classes of vet
erans'2 are enjoying the governments lar
CESS to-day According to the Times fig
ures, nearly one-third OF. the federal army
deserted during the civil war. On March
81, 1865, there were 1914 federal sol
diers presentin the army and 49,, ,339 alb
sent: On May l, 1865, 797, ,S04
were present and 2O2, 700 absent.
OF desertions, officially so classed,
there were g., ,0Ss prior to April s, 1858;
129, ,3S4 in 1858; 90, $40 in 1864, and 5s, ,42O in
1865; total, 27S, ,644. or nearly one-third of
the greatest number ever on the army
rolls at one time,

serters from the total enlistment, and the

of pensioners at present on the pension
rolls; and this is taking no account of

CompuIsorv Arbitration.

1t is understood that Congressman
/ Tawney of Minnesota. has prepared a
4 bill. in line with the resolution of the re
/ cent meeting of railway employees at New
York, to provide for the compulsory ar
bitration of differences between railway
corporations and their employees. The
New York meeting urged the passage Of
a federal law, and also that the states
pass compulsory arbitration laws cover
ing local copOrations Mr.. Tawney seeks
to provide for the roads engaged in inter
state commerce in his bill.
The bill provides that one of the par
ties to a dispute may apply TO United
States district court for an order citing
the other party to show cause why
board of arbitration should not be ap-
pointed to settle the matter With the
consent Of both parties, the court itself
may decide the question at issue; but in
the absence of such consent it may ap-
point a board of five arbitrators, each
of the parties selecting one and the court
the other three.
Arbitration" suggests the voluntary
entrance of the principals in a dispute
into an agreement 10 submit the issue to
disinterested parties, aud abide their
award 1t is difficult to see how it would
be possible TO effect arbitration in a
matter in which one. of the principals had.
to be forced in by law, and against his
will. Under such circumstances, it seems,
the process would become litigation, pure
and simple, and for which machinery has
been provided in the courts.
Another difficulty also, would most
likely be encountered when the award of
the compulsory arbitration" came to be
enforced: How could it be enforced i'm
partially Take for instance the case of
a railroad and its employees. If the arbi-
traitors should find in favor of the en-
ployes and the road should disregard the
finding, fine might be imposed upon the
corporation, through the courts. But
suppose the finding should be against the
body of employees and they should disre-
gard it; how would the arbitrators or the
court proceed against the great body of
individuals who, as individuals, have the
undoubted right to quit work whenever
they please4
Any movement toward lessening the

step in the right direction; and if Mr.
Tawney can so frame his proposed law as
to make the submission to arbitration
voluntary on both sides, and insure the
acquiescence of both parties in the find
ing, his bin is a step in the right direction.
But unless he can do so, it is difficult to
see how the process can be called 'arbi-
tration" at all, or how it could accom-
plish its purpose.

Flow to Heln Constituenta.

There are ways in which congressman
can help their constituents besides those
that are wholly political. Representative
HOuk, of Tennessee, for instance, recently
rendered the people Of his state great
service-a service that is appreciated
without regard to party affiliations. He
is an enthusiast in respect to stocking the
rivers with fish, and soon after his ar
rival in Washington, as his fathers sue
cessor, he called on Fish Commissioner Nc
Donald, and asked him to stock the fish
less streams of his state. The commits
sioner said he would gladly comply with
the request if there were a law in Ten
nessee to protect fish.
Representative Houk drafted bill at
once, providing for ample protection to
fish, and as soon as he could conveniently
get away from Washington he went to
Nashville and had it passed by the legis-
lature. Now every county in Tennessee
has fish commissioner with full author
ity to see that the fish have all the pro-
lection they need in order to multiply
rapidly
Commissioner Mcdonald was as good as
lto WOlhs no oOOn do d NOpS VI btlG new
fsh-protecting law of Tennessee was
given to him he began to stock
the streams of the state with fine vari-
| ties of fish, and now there are over
5000, 900 young fish in streams of the state
that little while ago had no fish at all.
IT will not be long before .Tennesseeans
will have more fish than they know what
to do with.
1t is pity there are not more congress
men to take hold of matters of this kind.
The service that he rendered his consti-
| tuents is worth more to them than all the
| speeches he is likely to make in congress
or all the votes he is likely to cast. Long
after his career in congress has been
| forgotten his service in having
| the tishless streams of the state
stocked with food fish will be remem-
| bered. He is called "the fish states
man." and he ought to be, and doubtless
is, very proud of the title which has been
! gIven him.

The Referendum in New York.
From, the Raltir,oy.e- G.,y, I0ar,,A

II is noticeable that the referendum is pro-
posed as feature of New York new con
stitutlon. There has long been SORT of re-
ferendum IN use in various states of the
union, BY which constitutional amendments
have to be submitted to the people for ratif-
catlon. In this state there has teen q sort of
referendum al so in respect 10 laws authorizing
loans TO Q issued by cities. Baltimore, for
example. votes upon the propriety of issuing
q loan after the city council has approved 1t,
But in New York s,new fundamental law IL is
proposed to go further and subject all laws of
general character to a vote of the people at
the demand OF a certain proportion of the
voters OF the state. This gives to the people
an opportunity to reject law that is odious

very seldom represent them. AS u rule they

The free silver Franks often try TO humbug
the people with the assertion, that there are
no silver dollars being coined now. no provi-
sion for the coinage OF any. and that silver
has no longer any standing In the currency of
the United States. But when one goes into
the mints and sees silver haf-dolars, quar-
ters and dimes being turned out in bushels
cally, he knows that some body is mistaken

Remembering the Houses.

1t is evident from the interviews in the
MORNING News that the proposition to
renumber the houses of the city is a very
popular one The merchants favor it and
no doubt the great majority of the house
holders'do
The cost to the city would be nothing
The house owners would have to stand
the. expense, which would be light The
benefits of the improvement would he
very great What these benefits are
have already been pointed out.
As the city will not have to foot the
bill there is no reason why the improve
ment should not be made at once. Moth.
ing is to be gained by delay. A house
owner can as well pay % or 25 cents, or
whatever sum may be agreed upon, now
as next winter
But the greatest care should be exer-
cised in selecting plan and in having
K the work well done. 1t has not been so
very long since the houses were renum-
bered, and now it is impemtively neces-
sary that the work shall be done over
again. Too much of the public work
is done in a wholly unsatisfactory man
ner, thus imposing double burden upon
the taxpayers The first thing to be done
in this matter of renumbering the houses
is to decide which is the best plan. Hav-
ing selected a plan the work should be
let to a responsible party, and a guaran.
