WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Slandering the Soldiers.


The New York Times. Mugwump free
trade newspaper, which has been promising
all sorts of sensations ia regard TO the pension
system, and furnishing only the
vaguest generalizations, says of a
number of alleged Union soldiers that
many Of these patriots, after enlisting.
passed the period of their enlistmentin Cana
| da or jumped the bounty elsewhere, and are
now receiving from 8 sl2 10 sl3 month from
grateful country" III the newspaper in ques-
ton has knowledge OF any case of bounty
Jumper and desertero receiving
pension it is clearly its duty TO re-
port the facts to the United States
authorities; otherwise the newspaper makes
hsel1 an accessory TO the fraud. But we
prefer To take the more charitable view,
that the Muswump organ from which we
nave quoted is only guilty OF stating a
iaisehood, and is innocent of the more
serious offense of collusion with criminals to
violate the pension laws. II is well known
that an honorable discharge is necessary
IN the case or any ex-solder who desires
To obtain the benefit OF the pension laws. and
II there are any persons receiving pensions
who " passed the period Of their enlistment In
canada" as fugitives from the American
army then they must have hoodwinked the
Government OF the United States into grant
ingthem an honorable discharge. Such a
fraud may be possible, but il is in the highest
degree improbable
Inc same newspaper expends considerable
space upon the methods taken TO raise troops
during the war, the apparent motive being |
TO prove that many of the soldiers were for |
elgn mercenaries and unworthy of the ma |
uon's esteem and gratitude. The sufficient |
reply TO this argument is that the war ended |
successfully for the Union. and that |
the Union armies, however derelict some |
OF their members may have been, triumph
antiy accomplished the object for which |
they were maintained and organized. The
soldiers honorable discharge is the suf-
ncieHt warrant that he served his country
faithfully. IL is nothing 10 the American
people that soldier may have been a
foreigner, provided he did soldiers duty.
u Is outrageously false to assert or inti-
mate that the foreign born soldiers in our
ranks were not animated by patriotic love OF
he American Republic. America is the polar
star OF the classes to which these soldiers be-
onged In their native lands, and many an
immigrant sets foot on our shores at heart a
'etter American than some people who are
American by birth.

VIII Sweep tho District Once Domi.
neered by Boss McKane.
NEW York, May 5-Ths annexation of
the town of Gravesend Co the city OF
Brooklyn, which went into effect yester-
day, brings under municipal government
the famous seaside resort, Coney Island,
which was the citadel of the kingdom of
John Y. McKane.
Coney Island proper contains Manhat-
tan beach, with its two mammoth hotels,
Brighton beach and West Brighton, the
latter being the popular section OF the
island and containing numerous small
hotels, liquor saloons without number
variety shows, concert halls and the
thousand and ono attractions. 1t con-
tains also street known as "The
Bowery," which is largely composed Of
dives. Here vice, in some places, runs
riot, unhampered by law and protected
by the officers of the peace.
Sunday is the great day Of the week,
the saloons are in full blast, the dance
halls hold open sway, and the excise Jaw
is dead letter Everything went during
the Mckane regime, except injunctions.
Now that the city authorities control
Coney Island it is expected that all this
will be changed. The Brooklyn police
department will blot out the dives, reau.
late the dance halls and endeavor to
drive out the thieves who prey upon the
visitors. On Sunday the music halls will
be closed and the saloons will not be per
mitted to fiaunt themselves in the faces of
the multitudes. The Bowery will up.
doubtedly be blotted out.

Some Good Words for Candidate
Harling.

In justice to Mr.. L. P. Harling
who has been ammo unced as a can
didate before the Democratic pri
maries for the nomination as {
member in the State Legislature
we his neighbors truthfully say
that owing to the condition anc
extreme illness of his wife, he vii
not be able to thoroughly canvass
Edgefeld county, and any appar'
ent inactivity on his part is thus
explained in this card.
We are induced to say that Mr.
Harling lives in a very rich and
populous section of the country.
known as Shatterfeld. The lands
are good, and their high assessed
value brings large revenue into
the State and county treasures.
This, together with the dense white
population, entities this section of
country to at least one representa-
tive in the House of Representa-
tives. Moreover this section of
country has never been represent
ed since the days of the lamented
Callison.
Mr.. Harling will we'll care for the
interest of the farming class, and
his good sense and integrity of
character will allow no detriment
to befall his constituency. His
war record will compare favorably
with that of any survivor. A lad
of 16 years, be entered the service,
and for four long, gloomy years,
stood to his post, Drawing every
deadly conflict that his regiment
encountered, and was never absent
but twenty days. His patriotism
led him as the organizer of the
Confederate Survivors Association
in this county, knowing that to
celebrate the memorable days and
heroic deeds of nation is it's life
and prosperity. The Alliance, at
it's incipiency, had no stronger ad-
vocate, and for two years he COM
manded the respect and esteem OF
sub-Alliance No. 17S at Liberty
Hill, as its president.
Mr.. Harling is a Reformer, and
we, as his neighbors, can well as
sure the voters of Edgefeld county
that he Will at all times be founo
at his post battling for the rights
Of his countrymen, and never vii.
he surrender as long as there il
one shot in the locker.
