"There never was a transfer system de
vised that somebody didn't learn to beat, "
said Broadway car conductor as his car
passed Worth street "You see that good
looking well dressed gentleman who got a
transfer ticket at WORTH Well, he didn't
pay any fare. He'll get a ride to the
Grand street ferry free. He jumped on
the front platform of my car just mo-
ment before l got to Worth street. l
started up to get his fare. He crossed the
platform and jumped OIL on the side that
the man with the tickets stood.
THAT man has to assume that the fares
are collected on my car, and he gives every
body who gets off and who wants it a
transfer ticket good on the Worth street
car to Grand street. The transfer man
didn't know that man hadn't paid his fare.
It's great game to save five cents. "-Ex-

Honest Veterans Are for Pension Reform.

Honest Veterans Are for Pension Reform.
Two dollars a month to veteran who
was wounied and disabled in battle is
not enough, yet one of the best comrades
in the city, the commander of his post,
was getting that, and believing himself
entitled to more applied for an increase.
His application was refused. A fellow
who was not wounded during the war,
but got slightly injured in the leg by a
fall from horse, was rerated at thirty
dollars a month by Tanner, and got
some $4,000 arrearages besides. We
know of other such cases which we hope
to see investigated and corrected. All
undeserving pensioners may well
quake; deserving pensioners need have
no fear.
If today every man and woman whose
name is on the pension list were re-
quired to appear before the proper au-
thority, there to substantiate their claim
to pension by evidence that would be
admitted in any court of law, or be al
lowed by the most lenient of juries,
there would undoubtedly be great
many names taken from the list alto
gether aud far greater number of PEN
sioners reduced in amount.
The people should have this money
saved for them. We believe the incom-
ing administration will do it. No hon
est man should object Assuredly no
fair veteran will do SO.
The Gazette has always favored high
pensions for deserving veterans. If a
soldier in actual service was manned or
disabled so that his power to make a
living for himself and his family was
gone or impaired, his loss or impairment
should be made good. That was the
purpose in granting pensions. So long
as the Republican party did that the
people sustained them.
When they left that safe ground and
embarked on treacherous sea of ex-
travagance, taking aboard the great
army of claim agency sharks, they be-
gan to lose the confidence of the people.

The Royal Welsh fusieers is not the only

With all his good qualities and his few
bad ones, his queer freaks and useful vir-
tues, the mule is Il most pathetic beast
after all He seems born to a hard lot in
life and the fact has left its imprint all

down dropping, patient face and wistful
eyes, his sensitive ears-an unfailing ba-
romcter of the state OF his mind-his in
adequate little feet, his unsightly tail and
sober hue all 90 to complete his melan-
choly makeup, They say it is pure cuss-
edness that makes II mule bray, but | do
not believe it. think he thus lifts up his
voice because the burden Of his existence
is all too heavy to be borne in silence,
He has no faith in human nature, but
this is IA quality that has never been cul-
tivated in him. Human ingenuity called
him into existence, but he sees little rea-
son to regard that as debt of gratitude,
seeing as his existence is very little good
to himself, and why should he cherish af-
lection for beings who give him nothing
but harsh words, blows and hard work.

OiIE SAD DAY.

One sad day when the suns gold crown
Jeweed and spIrudored the dreamy west
came with burden and laid it down
Under the lilies and leaves to rest,
And weeping left it and went my way
With the twilight whispering, God knows
best"
One sad day! 1t was long ago,
And thoruy the paths that my feet have
pressed,
Since with tears and kisses ! laid it low
Soul of my soul and life of my breastl
And kneeling now in the dark to pray
There comes with II voice from the sunless
west
The same sweet voice that heard that day,
The twilight whispering, God knows best"'

THE BUBBLE BURSTING.

The bubble OF p~opulism is now burst
ing with a rapidity which is really aston
ishing. Variable as a shattle-cock have
been the positions of the party since its
very beginning and at no time has it
shown either stability DR. conviction suf-
ticient to entltle it to consideration as a
national party. Despairing OF ultimate
success, it now shows up in its true
light Of simply being an accessory to
the democratic party. In nearly every
county of this state the popqlists on the
legislative ticket are selling themselves
out to the democrats, to aid in electing
a democratic United States senator.
Now that the democratic party has 80
thoroughly shown its incapacity to al
minister the affairs of government and
our national prosperity has been so
ruthlessly stricken down, old time re-
publicans, lately populists, hesitate to
go further in turning the affairs of the
nation over into the hands OF the south
ern wing of the democratic party, now
in power. The election OF a populist to
the legislature means this. Hence the
return of such mel as Gen. Hugh j.
Campbell, Hon. Robert Z. Sedan and
hundreds Of others Of recent populists
to the republican party is a protest
against the selling out OF principle and
country to democracy and England.
Numerous instances of such CONVEX
sions are taking place in Lake county
to-day. The late report Of the demo.
cratic committee concerning the polit-
ical standing of the popuIist candidates
for the legislature, says:
"Your committee finds that the popu-
list Legislative candidates are sound and
in line with the democracy on the prin-
cipal points of the democratic platform"
and = = = "that populist senators at
Washington have been to all intents and
purposes democratic in principle"
Can any seI~f-respectlng populist, for
merly a republican, vote for such tools
of democracy as these? Pledged to vote
for a United States senator ITO all in
tents and purposes" democratic in grin
ciple! 1t would be disqualification and
infamy. No; this country has had all of
democracy it wants. Honest populists
think so too.

BACK TO THE FOLD.

Hon. Robt. T. Sedan OF Hand county
was a respected citizen and republican
before he joined the populist party
four years ago. He was a leader re-
spected and honored in the populist
party while he belonged to it; and the
secretary OF the populist state central
committee labored with him all day last
Sunday to persuade him to- remain In
the populist ranks until after next
election, but he win no longer stay 10 q

POPULISM rs DEMOCRACY,

About the last mar in South Dakota
whom we would expect to go into Sioux
Falls and make a speech in favor of re-
~puolicanism and P~ettlgrew, would be
that staunch old war-horse, Gen. Hugh
j. Campbell, for, the past four years a
populist of pronounced type. But since
populism has about run its course and
Gen. Campbell lees where it is drifting
to, with the courage OK his convictions he
comes out Of the ~truculent party and
openly denounces 1t as an adjunct and
ally of democracy al that.
Being called to fill the appointment at
Sioux Falls, Wednesday, of Congressman
Lucas, who was summoned to the Black
Hills by the serious illness Of his wife,
the General began, by a neat compli-
ment to the city and then stated "that
he had been a pepulist for four years,
but had become convinced that as q
good American citizen it is his duty to
help relieve the country from the dom
lnation OF southern democracy. He be-
lleves In the necessity for reforms in
different directions, but as certainly as
he believes in this he is satisfied that the
leaders oil the populist party are not pur-
suing the clear and open way for secur.
ing them. He has nothing rancorous to
say of them-merely that populism can
not possibly achieve the things which it
has set out to accomplish. Populism
was a protest against certain inequalities
and injustice which thousands Of repub-
licahs admit do exist, even il along with
this protest has been wove a number Of
lmpracticable vagaries and chimeras.
We OF the northern republicans who
went over to ~popullsm expected Of course
we would be joined by enough coming
over from the southern democracy to
constitute us ultimately a national party.
But while we OF the north made this new
alliance, the southern democrats stayed
so closely with their old party that it
was impossible for popnlism to become
more than a sectional or local affair.
"And the great vice of the situation
was that for US to secure a seeming tri-
umph in eve some OF the states there
had to be q combination with democrats

and it was observable that to all in
