Private Pension Bills.
From the New York World Dem.).

A private pension bill is a bill to give a
pension to somebody whom the pension
bureau has found to be not entitled to it.
Most of them are fraudulent. Many of
them are impudently unjust and unreal
sonable-mere thefts in fact.
Yet in this congress 1885 of these bills
have been introduced, and past experience
suggests that all of them will be passed
thus adding millions of dollars in unjust
claims TO the phenomenal pension charge
already borne by the government.

those who support it appear to think it
has. If all the demands in behalf of free
labor were conceded, 1t would not be pos
sible to lease the convicts at all, and the
present bill would fail. Better take the
bill as it is. 1t can be amended in the
future in points in which it is not salts
factory.
If the BIN should be defeated the state
would be put 10 a great expense, in all
probability, and the democratic party
would occupy the position of not being
able to deal with the convict question. The
populists would need no better campaign
material. 1t would furnish them with
better platform than anything that was
in their platform in the last state cam
paign.

Let lis Have Pence.

The commissions are here to stay, for
time at least. The legislature has refused
to abolish them, for what reason it is now
unnecessary to explain. The thing to do
now is to frankly recognize that they are
important factors in the city administra-
ton, and for the mayor and council to get
all the assistance they can from them. 1t
is fair to assume that the men who COM
pose them are just as much interested in
the upbuilding of the city as other citi-
zens, and that now that the fight of the
factions is ended for the time being, they
Will not permit political feeling to infu-
ence them in the discharge of their pub
lie duties. They may be of the opinion
that they have never been Influenced by
politics in what they have done as officials
of the city. Stll, it viii hardly be denied
that it is a difficult matter for a man in
his official acts not to favor the party or
faction to which he owes his official posi-
ton.
There Is no good reason now however
why the commissions should not work in
harmony with the mayor and council for
the welfare of the city. There is no doubt
that the warning of the political factions
has had the effect of hinderfng the city's
prosperity. A community divided into hos
tile factions which expend their energies
in their efforts to defeat each other can
not accomplish as much in the direction
of progress as if it were united and harmo-
NOUS. Let us therefore put aside the bit
terness engendered by past conflicts, and
join hands for the city's welfare.
Some changes will be made in the COM
missions at the first of the year Care
should be taken to fill the places which
win become vacant with men having the
merit of fitness for the discharge of the
duties which will devolve upon them,
rather than with men known for their
partisanship or their ability to control
few votes. If the commissions are to be
Of real service they must be removed from
factional politics as far as possible. We
don't want commissions that think it their
duty to fight for the success of one faction
or the other. Let US have commissions
which viii devote their time and talents to
advancing the citys welfare without re-
gard to the plans and purposes of the fac
tons. 1t is the supremest folly that the
city should be divided with two hostile
camps, it were, and that matters bear
ing upon the city's prosperity should be
neglected in order that few men. about
whom the great majority of the people
don't care picayune, may have offices.

When Gen. Grosvenor says that the
merit system is not sustained by public
sentiment he speaks not for the public,
but for the coterie Of politicians with
whom he has worked and shared political
patronage for years. The men who want
offices seem to have peopled Gen. Grosve-
nors word almost to the exclusion of the
men who really form the mass of the vot-
Inc public.

1t would be difficult to imagine anything
more brutal that the six days bicycle race
which has just been concluded in New
York The Corbett-FitzsimmOn prize
fight was harmless in comparison with 1t.
For at least half of the time they were
on their wheels the men in the race were
in torture. 1t was feared that some of
them would go crazy from sheer exhaus-
ton and loss of sleep. Many of them act
ually sustained injuries from falls and col
lisions consequent upon exhaustion. Had
the men been put upon a treadmill and
required to go for the same length of time
the world would have cried out in hor-
ror and indignation. Yet, in the name of
sport" and for a purse, this exhibition
of cruelty went on to a conclusion and
drew large audiences. 1t must be that we
have not gotten very far away from the
time when men were required to kill or
MAIN each other to make a holiday.

fraudulent pensions the treasury deficit
would be wiped out even if the Dngley

is the depository of Christian truth; she
it is who for eighteen centuries has en-
lightened the worlds darkness and puri-
fed the worlds corruption; she alone has
preserved to man the blessings and con-
solutions and strengthening graces of
the Christian religion. Around her di-
vlnely-strengthened bulwarks the power
and the passions of the world have ever
surged in vain. The Catholic church has
the seal of immortality upon her brow.
A special providence ever guides her in
her course. She has come from God, and
it is her destiny to lead men to God.
She is not identified with any form of
government. The advance Of learning
and every discovery in the pursuit Of
truth can only serve to add radiance to
her earthly crown, yigor to her strength,
forefathers priced the church and after
it, dearest 70 their hearts, was their
country. Let. us then, like them, never
be ashamed of that country. That land
Of the west Is fair indeed among the ma
lions. Nature spreading out her richest
gifts with no stinted hand has given her
noble harbors, majestic rivers, genial
soil. Erin's hills are green, her fields
luxuriant, her climate mild, her people
wise, her daughters pure, her sons brave.
Her music so sad and yet SO sweet
breathes melody peculiarly her own.

COMMON HONESTY.
The Duty Every One Owes to that
Principle.

The following is brief synopsis OF
Father Cleary's last Sundays sermon:
ono duty is more plainly or more re-
peatedly insisted upon in all Gods in
structions to bis people than the duty Of
unequivocal and straightforward Justice.
At the very beginning Of Gods instruc-
ton to his people, we find on record, in
the Old Testament scriptures: diverse
weights and diverse measures are both
abonlinable before Cod" "Let the bal
ance be just and the weights equal" st.
Paul in his instruction to the Thessa1on-
fans reminds them that mo man de-
ceive nor overreach his brother in busi-
ness, because the Lord is the avenger OF
all such things"
The most prevalent form Of dishonesty
with which we are familiar is the prac-
tice of cheating or defrauding in the fail
ure to pay just and honest debts. Our
laws were framed to protect the weak
and struggling against the avarice and
heartless greed of the rich and strong.
They are abused by the cunning trickery
of inscriptions rogues and common
thieves These will not pay their honest
debts, will not pay for the food they eat
and the clothes they wear, because the
hand Of the law cannot reach them Let
them not deceive themselves. God is the
avenger of all such things. A day of
reckoning will come for them, when they
can no longer evade the law OF common
justice, framed by an infinitely just God.
"God is not Knocked. AS we deal with
our fellow men so Will he deal with us.
Let every man be honest and pay his
just debts II he will escape the certain
vengeance of. God"

| Most OF these laws, however, are hon

Sunday closing law. and the law prohib-
iting the sale Of intoxicants to miners

acted. at the behest of the people,. by the

their enforcement by the paid servants
OF the people is execrable. Because hon

this disgracefu1 administration of pub
lie trusts, they are insulted, and charac-
terized as cranks hypccrites and mis-
chievolls meddlers in public affairs. They
are haughtfly reminded that saloonkeep-
ers have rights as citizens; that shame

of perhaps we'll meaning but indiscreet

for their Sunday rest and for their right
to receive the benefits Of religious in
struction and religious influence on the
Sunday. It would be a very simple mat
ter to so arrange the employment OF
men, if work must be done upon the Sun
day. that at least men would be free on
some Sundays throughout the year. yes,
free the greater portion OF the time. II
they are to work at all on Sunday, 1t
should be the exception and not the rule
that they do so. Every interest Of re,
ligion and humanity demands this.
Mans moral, mental and physical ma
ture requires relaxation from labor at
least one day in seven, and the best in
terests of civilization demand that man
shall be permitted to enjoy the benign
blessings of religious worship. Man is
something more than Il money making
machine He is in the world for some
thing nobler than to simply turn out dol
lars by a ceaseless grind to satisfy the
merciless greed of wealth. He cannot
sell his soul in servitude. Our civiliza-
ton is failure if it can give no protec-
ton to the children of toll against pitt
less greed for gold.
It is an idle and a hypocritical subter-
fuee for employers Of labor to resort
to, when they claim that men in plenty
are found perfectly willing to work on
the Sunday. This willingness, In too
many instances, is forced from men who
have families dependent upon them. and
who are not. therefore, free to risk the
danger Of losing constant employment.
