00G This is on account of pensions
The appropriation FOR pensions for the
next year must be not less than $780,
100000. 1t is, therefore easy arithme-
tic to perceive that the appropriation
tnat congress must make for pensions
at the next session must aggregate not
less than SlS6,000,000. This tremen-
dous sum would of itself be enough TO
run reasonable government. One
would not complain If it were an honest
debt, but Il large proportion is not a
debt, because it was meyer earned by
any act of patriotism or heroic service.
The government is held up and de-
spoiled of no mean portion of this, and
it seems helpless to defend itself One
cannot help being curious to know how
many more years it will take to ex-
haust the generation that feels itself
injured by the war. 1t is safe to say
that never did Il generation display
such remarkable longevity.
No southern rebel or northern
copperhead ever uttered anything
more bitter than this, even in the
heat Of a political campaign. In
a dozen lines it condenses and
hurls at the old soldiers all the
venom of defeated and unregener-
ated treason. 1t says first, that
the pension that the old SOL
dler draws is not an honest debt
owed him by the government;
second, that the pension was not
earned by an act of patriotism or
heroic service; third, that the
government is despoiled of the
money, that it is robbed as the
victim of highwayman is robbed,
fourth, it expresses a regret that
the soldiers do not die more rap
idly, that Providence permits
them to enjoy a few years of
peace at the end of their lives,
honored by their country aud be-
loved by their fellow men. The
excerpt was taken from the Ma
tional Tribune, publ S h ed at

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2, -,

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2, '96.
There has been marked in
crease in the confidence of the
Bryan men since the conferen ce
this week, which was part1ci-
pated in by most of the campaign
managers and Messrs. Bryan
and Sewall. Whatever the found
alton for the assurances m ade at
that meeting, there is no doubt
they have carried cheerfu1ness in
to the silver camp. Among these
assurances was one from Senator
German that Maryland would be
carried for Bryan, notwithstand-
ing claims to the contrary by the
republicans and gold democrats;
one from Senator Blackburn that
all the efforts of Secretary Car
Isle and the republicans could
not prevent Kentucky casting its
electoral vote for Bryan, and one
from Senator Faulkner, saying
that the visit of Mr.. Bryan to
West Virginia would give him a
hold upon its electoral vote that
it would be impossible to break.
If they believe that those assur-
ances can be made good it is not
surprising that the Bryan men
feel confident, as according to an
estimate of the Washington Post,
gold paper, With Maryland and
West Virginia in the Bryan col
umn, Bryan will only lack five
electoral votes Of having enough
to elect him, with the folio wing
states to get them out of: Illinois,
Oregon, California, Delaw + e,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Iowa. The republicans pro-
fess to be amused at this revival
of confidence among the Bryan
supporters, and say it is merely a.
bluff for effect, but it is noticed
that they are increasing their eff
forts, especially in those States
which are by general consent
placed in the doubtful column.
Mr.. Bryan passed through
Washington again this week, on
his way TO West Virginia. He
gave orders when he went to bed
on the sleeping car that he should
not be awakend until he reached
Harper's Ferry, W. Va, so no

BRYAN AND THE OLD SOLDIERS.

Will the old soldiers or any of
them, vote for William Jennings

self-respect. Nor can any Amer

the old soldiers. In the issue of
the Omaha World-Hera1d of Nov.

BACK FROM MEXICO.
A Few Items Of Interest to All.


Hon. C. ]. Bach has some inter
esting experiences to relate since
his return from his southern trip.
After the adjournment of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge l. o. o.
+. at Dallas, Texas, party of
125, representing, nearly every
state in the union, went on an ex-
cursion to Monterey, Mexico. Mr..
Bach says he does not know how
how many Bryan or silver men
there were i'll the party when they
started from Dallas, but he says
he does know that there was not
a single one when they crossed
the Rio Grande river on their re-
turn.
When he asked the amount of
his bill at the hotel i'll Monterey,
the reply was ''siX dollars. ;" He
laid down United States SIS gold
piece, and in change received 81
in Mexican silver money; the gold
piece passing for $40 in Mexican
money.
He went to one of the banks
and asked for a S. Mexican gold
piece, and had to pay for the same
S1O.50 in Mexican silver money.
After reaching Laredo, on the
Rio Graude, he went into a cigar
S t ore and bought a quarters
worth Of cigars, offering in pay
ment therefor the S. Mexican
gold piece, and received in change
S4.75 III United States money.
He therefore had proof posi-
tive that our gold coins are worth
double their face value in Mexico
in Mexican silver; that Mexican
gold is worth in Mexico double
the face value of Mexican silver
coin, besides a liberal per cent
age to exchange the same to make
allowance for the constant fuctu-
atiou of the white metal), and
that Mexican gold coins are worth
their face value on United States
soil. He also discovered that one
of Our silver dollars was worth
two of the Mexican make. And
that the real value of the .Ner-
ican dollar changes from day to
day as the price Of silver bullion
fuctuates in the markets of the
world.
Expert laborers get good
wages, as they do everywhere,
but common labor is very low.
n contractor, VINO was paving one
of the streets in Monterey paid
SO cents day in .Nexican silver
for his common laborers, while
the men who laid the brick re-
celved 500 per month i'll .Nexican
silver. Carpenters in the same
city were getting IS cents a day,
stone nasons rs cents, street car
drivers 35 cents, stationery, en-
glneers $40 per month, hired girls
S3 a month.
Through the courtesy of the
landlord of the hotel at which he
stopped he copied from bills of
goods some of the prices paid for

National Bank of Mexico has a

The relation between II t O m
Watson and Senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national
committee, and between the lat
ter gentleman and the democratic
national committee is puzzling
lots of people. Since the closing
of the Washington baranch of
the democratic national commit
tee headquarters, Senator Buffers
only participation in the cam
palgn has been to help along, the
negotiations for fusion between
the democrats and populists and
to arrange dates for the populist
stump speakers. Tom Watson
has publicly stated his opposition
to fusion in any state, unless Sew
all is withdrawn, yet Senator
Butler leaves no doubt in the
minds of those he talks with that
ne is in sympathy with Watsor's
attempt to supplant Sewa1l, and
he is now arranging dates for
Watson to stump several states
after the Georgia election. Sena-
tor Butler says he will shortly is
sue an address to the populists.
This may clear up some things
which are now somewhat hazy.
Neither of the Congressional
committees have given out any
figures on the political complex
ion Of the next house, but individ-
ual republicans are claiming that
they will have a majority of not
less than fifty in the house, re-
gardless of how the presidential
election goes. 1t would be what
sporting men call "a good thing"
to bet that the party that elects a
majority of fifty in the house will
also elect the president. There
haye been exceptions, but as a
rule the party that wins in the
presidential election gets control
of the house, and it is safe to bet
that it will be so this year.
The Bryan men are putting up
some stiff claims on carrying
Michigan, and most republicans
admit that the state IS doubtful
although few of them will go so
far as to admit that it will be
carried for Bryan. Senator But
ler has made public a report re-
ceived by him from the Michigan
state committee, which says: 'In
the last presidential election the
democratic vote in Michigan was
202, ,296, and the republican vote
was 2z2,70S, showing republic

minister, Dupuy de LONE. expressed the
hope, today. that the American people
would suspend judgment regarding the
reported assassination of Maceo until
the real facts were known. He ridi-
culed The statement that the vice cap
tain. General Ahumada, should be a
party to such a occurrence. and said he
believed that there was sufficient num-
Der of reputable correspondents in
Havana to Investigate the charges fair
ly and publish the result. The state
ment of the Junta. said he, bore the
stamp of absurdity upon their face and
We're made to neutralize the effect of

We have been accused repeatedly, he
said. of circulating the report of
Maceos death to affect the action of
Congress 1t is quite reasonable to as
sumo that now that Maceo is known to
be dead. the Junta is originating reports
of his death by treachery for the same
reason.
