THE JUSTICE LONG CASE.
Will you not do it?
Yours, prayerfuily,
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE

The Attorney General has as yet given no
formal notice Of appeal from the decision in
the Justice Long case, but says that he
intends to make the appeal. Should he do
so, we are confident that the Supreme Court
of the United States will fully confirm the
decision of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. That decision was eter
naliy right, and based on the soundest prin-
ciples Of law and the theory of our Govern
ment, and there is no doubt in our mind
that the Supreme Court will so hold. 1t is
repugnant TO every American idea that any
executive shall take law passed by Con-
greSs, and construe it to suit himself, and
that there shall be no appeal from his
decision. The courts of this country hold
a very taut rein on all ministerial officers,
and have repeatedly reminded them that
it is their duty to execute the laws of Con-
gress according to their letter and spirit,
and not seek to modify and curtail them
according to their own ideas. The Com
missioner of Pensions is about the only
great Bureau officer who has not here
tOfore had this lesson. The Commits
sioners Of the Land Office, Of the Patent
Office, of the Irdian Bureau, of Internal
Revenue, and in fact all others, have re-
peatedly been brought into court and given
very impressive lessons as to the limitations
of their powers and discretion, but the Com
missioner of Pensions has 80 far escaped.
Now he is TO be taught that when Congress
passes law it is the duty of those appointed
to carry it out to ascertain carefully what
Congress meant by the legislation, and adj
minister 1t according to the intent and will
of Congress, and not according to their own
private views of what should be done.

IT looks as if the Wilson abOmination-

So dear is patronage to the'average Repre-
sentative that he will do anything that the
dispenser of postoffices and clerkships de-
mands. His workers are hungry for Offices.
and rather than brave their angry disap-
pointment, he is willing to sacrifice his con-
stituents. Meanwhile the protests against
the Wilson bill are piiing up mountain high
in the House, and many of these are "agno-
nizing," as Senator Hoar fifty termed them,
in their entreaties not to be robbed of work
and wages by vicious legislation. Whether
the Senate will be as cuckooish as the
House is matter of anxious inquiry. A
few independent Senators can defeat the
whole iniquity, and give the signal for the
immediate revival of the country's pros
perity.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

During the debate on the tariff, Hon. Fl.
W. Blair read a very interesting letter from
one of the proprietors of the Granite Ho-
siery Mills at Laconia, n. H., giving the
wages paid in those mills under the yarioRs
tariffs for the past half century. The pay
rolls of the mills show that in 1S4S, under
the Walker tariff, which WAS nearly free
trade, they paid 507 cents day of IA
hours, or 1862 cents an hour. In 1853, still
under the Walker tariff. they paid 57.4 cents
Morrill, tariff was passed toward the close of
1861. That year they paid 80 cents day
of II hours, or 4.6-11 cents an hour. In
1864-still under the Morrill, tariff, the
"high war tariff"-they paid go cents day
of IL hours, or SSH cents an hour In
1S69-still under the Morrill, tariff-they
paid S1161 day of II hours, or 10l cents
an hour.
In 1892, under the Mckinley tariff, they
paid $1.57 day of 10 hours, Or 15.7 cents
an hour. la 1893 they paid little more
than in 1892, until the panic compelled
them TO close down.
From 1913 to 1861 the pay was about the
same as in England. In 1892 it was double

quest for hIs opinion rs to the practicablity of
cnacting such law, discouraged tho cOnsidera-

their comrades inferred them, working under

Georgia Home Guards.
The cemetery is surrounded by a stout wall
with an iron gate. and is under the supervision
of Superintendent who lives OH the grounds.
1t is Il plain spot declares the Cincinnati Jour.
nal. There is not much attempt made to orna-
ment this city OF our martyred dead. 1t
would take a great deal of even such infiu-
ences as plants and flowers possess to dispel the
melancholy memories that haunt this hill in
the pine woods of southern Georgia.
Southerners shun the spot, but the cemetery
is much visited by Northern travellers, and the
register in the Superiutendents lodge contains
many strange inscriptions besides the names of
the visitors. One lady asks forgiveness of God
for the murderer OF her brother, who sleeps in
the cemetery.
Occasionally man who was In the stockade
turns up among the visitors. These men, what
ever their natural temper, the Superintendent
says, can almost be distinguished by the effects
of fear, dread, and vivid recollection which
come back like n shock into their faces as they
again stand on the now quiet and sunlit scenes
of their war experience.
In the cemetery the ground is of general
level, and the graves of the known and un-
known, properly separated, range in rows,
closely laid, as far as the eye can reach. There
are actually buried on this elevation 1915
men. The soldier whose identity was pre-.
served by his comrades is marked in his rest
ing-place by white marble stone rising I6
inches above the ground. A square marble
block with the word Unknown" on it is re-
peated about 1000 times in the cemetery.
Part of the stockade is still standing There
are two rows of trees-one inside the other.
The outer row has fallen down. save few posts
here and there but a large part of the inner
wall still stands. Trees have grown up around
the old pen and thick growth of underbrush
now covers the site of the prison. No traces of
the lannon's brook that ran through the stock
ade remain, nor of the wonderful well dug by
the prisoners. 1t is all now a mild and peace
ful section of country. Many of the soldiers
in the cemetery have handsome headstones
lifted to their memory by friends in the North,
and efforts are frequently made to have certain
graves kept green with flowers and shower
pot.
