The Pension List.

The New York Advertiser says, eff
the Democratic party had never made
war on the Union, there would be no
pension list" which leads the Memphis
Appeal to say that it is not worth
while to fight the war oyer every time
a pension crook is caught rifling the
treasury. Never mind whether the
Democratic party made war on the
Union" or not. The question is, ought
a man to be pensioned for baldheaded-
ness developed thirty years after the
war ended, on the plea that he ran
from under his hair at the battle of
jaw while cussing jeff Davis or who re-
ceived internal injuries while jumping
his bounty be entitled to pecuniary
expression of gratitude from his coun-
try? Isn't it rather OVERRIDING the
thing to pay out pensions to persons
ON account of the disabilities they
might have incurred if they had been
in the army? Assuming, for the sake
of argument, that the Democratic
party is responsible for the war and
therefore for our pension system, isn't
that all the greater reason why it
should now make atonement by pro-
tecting the treasury and the country
from the hordes of thieves that are
marshalled under the banners of the
6. A. R. for the purpose of stealing
what the war did not destroy?

The other dav when the ReDublicaI

The other day when the Republican
Convention of Maryland met and
made it's nominations it failed entirely
to say what it thought on the great
subjects of the tariff and the currency.
1t maintained sphinx-like silence In
respect to those questions and left
all those who were expecting to hear
something from the Republicans in
the direction of sound money biting
their fingers. Norfolk Landmark.
Though this action of that Conven-
tion may be criticised, we believe it
was wise and proper, for the tariff and
currency questions should not be
made issues in State elections, as the
officers elected have nothing to do
with those questions. In the State
elections in this State, those questions
should be ignored. AS well make
some religious question a test IN such
elections as to make tests of those
that are exclusively federal questions,
as the tariff and currency are. We
therefore, commend, in that respect,
the action of the Republican Conven-
tion of Maryland, and would recon-
mend the Democratic Convention of
this State to do likewise. 1t is not
only right is principle, but wise in pol
icy, as it would prevent discussions
and divisions on questions that the
officers elected have nothing to do
with-no more than they have with
the geography of the moon.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; niue cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

SLUGGER CoRBETT MARRIED. -
As6aay Park, ". j., August 15.-There
was a civil marriage here today of
which the principals were James j.
Corbett and Jessie Taylor of Omaha,
better known as "Vera Stanwood," the
name by which she figured as co re-
spondent in the recent suit for divorce
which was granted to Mrs. Ollie Lake
Corbett. So quietly had Corbett's in
tentions been kept that not even his
manager Brady knew that he intended
matrimony SO soon, nor did any of his
friends in sporting circles anticipate
the event. Justice John A. Borden,
performed the ceremony at the Cor
bett cottage at noon, for the Catholic
church, of which Corbett is a communi-
can't, does not sanction the marriag e
rites for divorced persons.

AN ACCIDENT RESULTS SERIOUSLY
AS was stated in Mondays Chronicle,
Mr. James Small, of Princeton, a sum
mer law student and member OF the
University Summer Baseball Team,
was struck on the side of his knee by a
pitched ball at the game in Luray last
Friday with the Luray Athletic Club
He did not think anything of the acct
dent at the time, nor did he suffer for
some hours. After his return to the
University, however, the injured knee
gave him SO much pain that he was
taken to his home in Baltimore, accom-
panied by his mother. A telegram re-
ceived by his friends here today from
Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he has
been removed, states that his leg will
have to be amputated. This serious
outcome of a seemingly slight accident
is a source of much regret to his fellow
students and friends at the University,
by whom he was much liked and es-
teemed. charlottesville Chronicle, Ag-

THE OUTLOOK FOR DEMoCRACY.-
The Chicago Chronicle says: "Mr. VIM.
g. Whitney, whose astuteness as an
observer of political conditions is wide
ly known, tells a New York reporter
that, in his opinion, the democratic
party was never stronger than to day.
Careful scrutiny of the field will bring
support to Mr.. Whithey's opinion
From the stunning blow of the con
gressional elections of 1894 the demo-
cracy has rallied with that superb vi
tally which has characterized the
party of the people in its almost hun
dred years of existence. It's leaders
everywhere are animated with deter
mination to win back the lost ground,
and are cheered on by the knowledge
that returning prosperity under demo-
cratic laws is rapidly convincing the
electorate of it's error in holding the
democracy responsible for the com
mercial disasters of 1893. Illinois will
be factor of no mean Importance in
the next presidential election. Car
ried by the democracy in 1892, it was
lost in 1894. Already signs multiply
that the pendulum will swing back
again in '96. Mr.. Whitney is right
The skies were never brighter for
democracy"
