years, end which has made several
fortunes, is closed. The Manager owes
a great deal Of money, has been falling
behind for some tim9. But, of course
we have got sound money" and we've

The Exchange Hotel at Richmond is
in the hands of a receiver. The Times
ought to learn the hotel men how to do
business II 80 per cent. credit and get
them to understand that it requires
very little money to Il business, pro

J. G.. Johnston & 90, furniture
dealers, Richmond, concluded that q
single standard wouldn't pay expenses,
and 30 their property and stock is IN
the hands Of the assignee.
The Commercial Hotel, r chmoEd,
has got enough Of the single standard.
The proprietor has assigned. He owes
over So. geo (s0unG). We suppose he
will vote for Cleveland or Sherman
again, however. Nothing like sticking
to the p a r t-y, even if your W bust
ness does go hence. Tnen, too, you
might throw your vote away by voting
for B-t5ie and the babies.
Herman Bauzeman, Treasurer Of
ZOn Evangelical Lutheran Church,
New York, has skipped by the light Of
the moon. He Issued bogus checks-to
the amount of 81 OCO before he left.
Now, according to the sound money
argument, those checks are good to do
business with. you don't need much
money for the business Of the country
is mostly done with checks" they say.
OF course you don't have to deposit q
thousand dollars before your check is
good for that amount. See2

any of the profits in the bond deal, 80

The Old Dominion Cotton Mills, Rich

were sold again and brought $l7 500
1t is said that the machinery alone is
worth more than that. The Charlotte
Observer and cther prosperity song

The Baltimore & O0i0 Railroad is the

it is in the hands of a receiver. Couldn't

PER DIEM BILL REPORTED.
A PLAN WHICH WILL SIMPLIFY PEN
SON LEGISLATION.

Does Away with All the Horde Of OmoIals
Who Have Grown Fat on the Soldier
and VIII Give the Veteran a show.
Yesterday afternoon the Committee on
General Pensions reported faYorably on
the bill known as the per diem or
Service Pension bill. designed TO simplify
general pension legislation, and for the
passage OF which ex Speaker John p.
Dobsboe has been and Is stlll working.
The bill, In addition 10 its general pro
visions cares for the msn who served
less than 30 days, giving them a pension
OF SO month la all other bills brought
before the National Legislature, this
class has never been recognized
The bill which has Just been reported,
has been given the most careful study by
men experienced In the matter, and is
claimed to be the simplest and most
equitable ever presented II passed. IL
will obviate the trouble which Congress
always has with general pension legisla
tion.
The bill provides that for each day
served one cent shall be computed, and
this amount shall be the rate of pension
per month. For instance. s man served
one year. His pension will be SO SO q
month. IL he served two years bis pen
sion would be 81 80 a month, and so on.
Under this plan no man can cay that he
hss not been justly treated On FIRST
sight 1t would appear as though this bin
would carry with 1t a large appropriation
but the General Invalid Pension Commit
tee Of the House, with the COMMITTEES OF
which Mr.. Donohoe was a member. cau
demonstrate that nearly the entire sun
will be saved, as compared with the
present condition OF pension.
In the hrst place the bill dlspsnses with
some 3CO special examiners, who get from
ST. 4OO to 81, 800 a year and SO day
expenses. an expense reaching over
So 600 600 annually. II dispenses with
the examining physicians, who get Sc
for each examination. another million a
year. Then some 3 GOO or more pension
agents who have been living of the old
soldiers will have to seek other business.
On investigation It was Rscertained that.
In round figures fully 800 100000 has
bean taken copjointly from the govern
ment and tho old soldier under the
present system. The new bill will change
al this.
T1e bin known as the Pickler bill. pre
sented recently, Is pronounced too sweep
ing to ever secure passage 1t admits
bounty Jumpers, hospital beats. hen r. ost
Jumpers, coffee coolers and rebels who
rought through the whole war on the
Confederate side and managed to get
into Union lines ninety days before the
surrender OF Lee. All these are carried
In the Pickler bill, the same as the men
who fought for the Union all through
the war Then the appropriation It car
ries with Il is simply appalling. This Of
itself would kill lis chance Of passing.
On the face of the per diem bill AS
against tue Pickler bill, a saving Is
shown Of some s36 500. zoo alone. This
will give 10 very fair show OF passage
and will forever settle this much vexed
question In a satisfactory manner.
