NAMED on its feet, and the only dam

WE have reason to believe that Mai.
Mckinley has selected his old comrade
of the 23d Ohio, Col. Harrison Gray
Otis, of Los Angeles, CAL, for place
in the Cabinet, instead of Judge
McKenna. Judge McKenna is under
stood not to want the place, being very
we'll satisfied with his present one on the
Circuit Bench, which is entirely to his
taste and life position. Col. Otis will
make a splendid representative of the
Pacific Coast. He is a full-bloOded,
brainy man, overaowing with energy
and with mind of wide range. He
was mustered into the 18th Ohio as a
private June 25, 1861, and few months
later was promoted to Sergeant. He
received a commission as Second
Lieutenant for good conduct at South
Mountain, and when the veterans and
recruits of his regiment were consoli'
dated with the 23d Ohio, July II, 1864
he became Captain of Co. II, of tina,
regiment, and was mustered out as such
at the close of the war. He wal
wounded at Winchester, July "a, 1864
and distinguished himself while in Yves
Virginia in hunting down and destroy
ing the bands of guerriIlas which in
tested the State. He is an enthusiast,
GAR. man, and all comrades vii
rejoice at his appointment.

: orxAr v.rEn Way SCHEME.


The Commission on a Deep Water
way from the Lakes to the Ocean, APP
pointed under the authority Of the last
Congress, has made an important report
which the President has made the sub
ject of especial message. The report
strongly favors the immediate beginning
of the work on such water way, all to
be in American territory, and which will
compete with the Canadian scheme for
q IA feet channel all in Canadian
territory. The route that the Com
mission recommends is as follows:.
That starting from the heads Of Lakes
Michigan and Superior the most eligible
route is through the several Great Lakes
and their intermediate channels, and the
proposed Niagara ship-canal (Tonawanda
to Olc0tt) to Lake Ontario; and that the
Canadian seaboard may be reached from
Lake Ontario by the way of the ST.. Law
renee River, and the American seaboard
may be reached from Lake Ontario by
way of the st. Lawrence and Lake Cham
plain and Hudson River, or by way of the
Oswego- Oneida Mohawk Valley and the
Hudson River.
That the alternative routes from Lakes
Ontario. to the Hudson River require COM
plete surveys and full development o.
economic considerations to determine then
relative availability.

DISCUSSING THE SILVER QUESTION

DISCUSSING TIE SILVER QUESTION.
If any Of our readers feel that the
Silver question is not definitely settled,
and wish to continue the discussion, we
shall be glad to do so. But we give
them due notice that we are not going
to take the trouble to notice any mere
Populistic harrangues, nor the too-fre-
quent string of epithets of gold-bug,"
"liar," tool of Wall street" " hireling
of the power" "slave of Eng
land" and similar rot. There is abso-
lutely no sense in such jabbering, and
the man who can do nothing but scrawl
it may as we'll save his time and post
age. There is no more reason why the
discussion of economic facts should be
accompanied by ill-temper and abuse
than the discussion Of problem in
arithmetic. Either economic facts are
facts or they are not. If they are facts
it can be demonstrated by reason and
the experience of the world.
Let anyone who really wants to get
at the truth present us any question
that he wishes in a simple, compact
form, and we will be glad to give him
all the light that we have upon it.
Since We have plenty of time now, it
will be better if he makes but one state
ment or propounds but single question
at time. In this way the whole
ground can be gone over carefully and
fully and the exact truth arrived at.

LAST year the pension-roll lost by
death 29,393. This is the greatest NOR
tally in the history Of the Pension
Bureau. It is an alarming and sug-
gestive fact, for it shows with mournful
clearness that we must lose no time in
bringing about measures Of relief for the
veterans yet living. They cannot wait
Cor us to discuss endlessly the precise
terms Of any proposed legislation. Ii
we are going to do anything for them we
must do it at once. We must unite on the
measure that seems to promise the most
to the greatest number. That is the
Service Pension Bill. },

IF the people Of South Dakota were
alive to their true interests there would
be no doubt of the unanimous election
of Maj. John A. Picker as Senator.
He would be a Senator who would do
the young State substantial good in the
Upper House, and be worth a chamber
full of such men as Senators Pettigrew
and Kyle. If either Of these have ac-
complisbed anything for South Dakota
the fact has escaped our notice. Petit
grew is an agile fellow in looking out for
Pettigrew, and nothing else, while it is
hard to say just what Kyle amounts to
in any direction. On the other hand,
Picker is a positive quantity per-
sonal force, and that force is never failed
to be executed for South Dakota at
every opportunity. He is thinking much
more of South Dakota's interests than
of his own, and wherever he is South
Dakota comes to the front. With him
in the Senate the country would hear as
much Of South Dakota as it used to OF
Kansas when John j. ingalls, and Pres
ton B. Plumb were Senators.

THE SERVICE PENSION.


So many comrades raise the bugaboo
that the Service Pension puts the long
and the short service men on level.
To this it is sufficient to answer:
1. These men have been kept on a
level since the war by the Pension Blu
reau, so that this is no new condition.
There are more than 100000 of them
who have been kept on level for many
years by the denial of any pension at
all. 1t did not matter whether they
served three months or three years, their
claims were not allowed. Was not that
sufficiently leveling? Now let us change
it by giving these long-waiting, much
deserving men at once something to live
on. They can certainly stand on a
level of So a month, after so many
years of leveling upon nothing.
2. The Government has always given
a Service Pension of So a month for
much less service than 80 days. There
fore, the man who served three months
during the war of the rebellion has
earned this minimum better than did
his predecessors who served less time
In the Revolution, the War of 1872
Indian Wars, and the Mexican War.
Why should we ask him to take less
than they received? His services GER
tainly were worth as much as theirs
The country is now better able to pay
this pension than it ever was before.
8. After We have gotten the Service
Pension through viii be the best time tc
amend it SO as to make it as equable az
we desire. Once get it on the statute
books and let it begin its benefcen'
operation, and we can then discuss way:
of improving it at our leisure. Mean
while the veterans will have something
| to live on while we are talking and dis
cussing. But if we wait now to fix VI
bill which will exactly suit every one
all these poor comrades will be in theil
penniless graves long before We have
| arrived at an agreement.
1t seems to us that this reasoning is e
clear that no one can dissent from it.
Let us all, with one accord, unite OF
straight Service Pension Bill Of So 8
month. Let us get this thing, and i'm
mediately give the comrades something
to support them while we are disputing
among ourselves as to what furthe
amendment it needs

LEMON.
An important announcement is made
elsewhere to the pension clients of the
late Geo. E. Lemon. The executors
will continue the pension claim business
as usual, and all applicants can rely
upon their interests being as we'll cared
for as formerly. Comrade Alva S.
Taber, who has been placed in charge,
was for many years last past Capt.
Lemons right-hand man, and had entire
charge of his pension business. He is
thoroughly versed in all pension matters,
and is upright and earnest. The CLAIM
ants interests could not be in better
hands.
