in the national soldiers home on the
heights north of the national capital.
The home is situated in park nearly
two miles square, and the grounds are
better kept and more beautiful than
the grounds of the king and emperors
of the middle ages; and the home itself
is perfect palace for the old cam-
paigners. Visitors to this city always
drive there and their trip through the
park is always one of their most pleas
ant memories of their sojourn here.
The veterans lounge about the park
with their pipes, cigars or plugs of to-
bacco in evidence. and they have prac-
tically nothing to do but eat, sleep and
take life easy until the close of their
careers. They have library, a chapel,
and a canteen. The electric cars now
run right to the gates of the home,
and they do not have to tramp along the
dusty roads when they come to town.
On pension day, when the quarterly
pensions are paid to the veterans, they
come to town and many of them in
dulge too freely in liquor and are
taken to station houses and locked up
over night. The police court judge re-

Andrew Jackson was an extreme man.
He hated his enemies, and he hated the
enemies of his country. He loved his
friends, and he loved all of his old
soldiers. He would defend them, even
when they were wrong. That is 20 say,
he would protect them, and make al4
charitable allowances for them. 1t was
the intensity of his radical nature which
led him to say that gallant soldier on
the battlefield earned the right TO get
drunk. Very few would agree with him
IL this day and age, when the temper
Rnce sentiment is overspreading the
land. But even the most extreme of us
in the temperance cause can understand
that Jackson's expression was merely
his extreme deterpination to protect
with charitable consideration the old
soldier whom he had seen serving his
cnnntry in the. fire. and flame of awful
conflict and in the midst of deadly
carnage.
In those days pensions were not lib
orally bestowed, and the old soldiers,
In times of peace, were kept on the pay
roll and cared for as though on actual
duty. Nowadays things are different.
Disabled soldiers receive pensions, and
old soldiers who are unable to care
for themselves are given food, shelter

put the threat to burn the town into
execution The arrest occurred at q

tobacco warehouse of p. w. McLaugh-
lin, within square of the court house,

The people, remembering the threat,

few moments the streets were alive
with men armed to the teeth and de-
termined to give the incendiaries a
warm reception if they attempted any
further outrage. Business is prac-
tically suspended and every man is
armed. The names of some so or 80

President OF the Letter Carriers Associa-

lition.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. 9-At
Tuesdays session of the National Let
ter Carriers association, President
Quinn read his annual address. One
feature of the address related to the
inspection" system. He said; SAT
the opening OF my year of office we
were confronted with the special
agency, or investigation of the carrier
force throughout the country. While
we invite inspection and investigation,
the system and the results it brought
to it's victims in creating a new force
of carriers known as helpers paying
them at the rate of Al cents per two
hours work per day, is one of the evils
resulting from the system. The Sec
retary and myself visited the postElas-
ter general with statement of our
grievance, and requested him to have
this obnoxious system of espionage
abolished. Since then, while l am not
positive that it has been entirely abol-
ished, it is certain that there have
been no more wholesale discharges"
The draft of bill to provide for a
pension to letter carriers after 20 years
service will be considered by the letter
carriers at this session. 1t provides
that per cent. of the salary of each
carrier shall be withheld by the gov
ernment, and that when a carrier re-

WELLINGTON BADLY OFF.
Santa Fe's New Plans 1ay Injure

Claims That They Voted $4,000 Ala
TO the Road and object to Removals
Railroad News.
Much interest at present exists in Well
ington as to what extent the retrench-
ment policy of the new Santa Fee man
agement will affect the employees of the
road at that point. and the business men,
composing the Commercial club of that
city, realizing that cut in the working
force and the proposed removal of many
employees will mean an injury, have
adopted resolutions. which are to be pre-
scented to the officials of the road.
The resolutions state that the city Of
Wellington voted bonds to the Santa Fee
company to the AMOUNT of $4,000 for
the establishment and maintenance of
terminal facilities in that city some years
ago, and since that time the interest on
the bonds has been promptly paid and
the interests of the road promoted.
That statements have been made to
the effect that the terminal facilities at
that point were to be abandoned, thereby
greatly injuring the interests of the city,
and throwing a large number of men out
of employment. That as they believed
this would be an injustice a committee of
three, consisting of John I. Stewart, G.
c. Curtis and w. R. Savage was ap-
pointed to wait upon the officers of the
Santa Fe company and request them to
reconsider such action, if any have been
taken.
