cLEvELAND's PENSION vEToEs.

In sending to the senate his veto of
a bill to pension the Remarked ,widow
of a volunteer soldier. President Cleve-
land took occasion to define his views
on the question of granting pensions.
They are such as will commend them
selves to all conservative, right-think-
ing people. Only a pension attorney
engaged in fraudulent practices could
or would object to this:
The rule governing the operation
of general pension laws. which for
feits . widows pension on her re-
marriage, seems so reasonable and
just and its relaxation must necessar-
lily lead TO such a departure from Just
principles and to such veXatious pen
sion administration. that / am con-
WINGED it ought 10 be strictly main
tanned.
What is the theory of granting the
widow Of a soldier a pension? It is
that her support has been taken from
her and the government undertakes to
make it good. This the government has
done, and done literally. 1t does not
undertake to give her pecuniary COM
pensation for the loss of love and kind
ness. But the soldiers widow who
marries again and makes her weeds
blossom as the rose, does not need a

balm FOR her lost love; she gets it
with her new husband. She also gets
support, and that being supplied. the
government is relieved from any moral
obligation TO continue the pension it
has been granting her. A soldiers
widow who remarries and still insists
upon continuation of her pension is
a willy thing of whom men should be-
ware.
Mr. Cleveland does very proper
thing when he calls the attention of
the senate TO the increasing latitude
clearly discernible in special pension
laws governing any subject. special
legislation upon that subject is usually
for the purpose of securing a special
privilege not enjoyed by the general
class chiefly interested in it. And a
special privilege is always the entering
wedge for abuse.
The president points out that there
are nearly 100000 pensioners on the
rolls. There are very few of these
pensioners who cannot work up a very
reasonable case for an increase of pen
sion. particularly if he employs the
services OF a skilled (Which too often
means an unscrupulous) pension at
torney. These special pension acts are
always secured through ex parte tes-
timony, testimony that would often.
if not usually, be riddled in a court
of law where the witnesses could be
subjected to a cross examination.
The pension laws of the government
are extremely liberal as they should
be. The country is grateful to those
who went forth to fight its battles and
anxious and willing to do what it can
for the survivors of the war and for
those who were dependent upon faith
ers, husbands and brothers who fell in
battle. But this gratitude of the nation
has been played upon and traded upon
until many injustices and scandals
have arisen. Mr.. Cleveland's pension
vetoes have had for their object to do
away with these injustices and scan
dals. He has performed plain and
simple duty.

THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.

One of the most remarkable things in
the history of the industrial world is
the fact that the steel rail makers of
the United States have been able to
invade the English market and success
fully compete with the steel rail manu-
facturers of that country. When the
people of that country awake to full
realization of what it all means, they
will feel a much greater alarm than
they would were there a tunnel under
the channel and the news came that the
French had possession of both ends of
it. This industrial invasion means to
England what the landing of the white
men on the shores of America meant to
the aborigines-the driving of them
back and supplanting them with an
other race.
The first great invasion of England
is with nearly 100000 tons of steel rails.
These rails were not old stock that the
makers were glad TO get rid of at any
price; they do not do business that way.
1t has been said that the rails cannot
be made for the price at which they
have been sold. On this point what the
Pittsburg Dispatch says is conclusive:
Whether or not the Carnegie mills can
produce steel rails at the prices quoted
on the sale to England is a question
that company alone can fully answer.
But those who are familiar with the
Carnegie methods and the Carnegie
works will be slow to believe that they
are sending out product at loss"
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says that from an authoritative
source it was learned that the Carnegie
company claim to be able to make rails
and sell them at profit in England in
competition with English manufactur-
ers. 1t says that one of the Carnegie
officials is quoted as saying:
Sales made to London parties have
not been made at a loss, as is COM
monty supposed, but on the contrary, a
profit has been realized, so that no
sacrifice has been necessary in order to
enter the foreign market. except as to
the amount of profit. With the English
market at S22 per ton we are able
to manufacture and transport steel rails
TO England, undersell the foreign con-
Germs and yet come out with a little
something to our credit"
If only a few more of the trusts
would break up and the members get
to competing among themselves, the
people would soon have so many OBJ
ject lessons in the baleful effects of
high tariff that they would not suffer
such thing. The present purpose of
high tariffs is to permit American
manufacturers to exact a pound of flesh
from American consumers. After a
while the people will tire of this and
refuse to submit. This invasion of
England will do much to teach them
how useless are tariffs for the purpose
of protecting infant industries"

SILVER REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republican silver senator's and
representatives in congress have put
forth an address to the silver Repub-
licans in the United States. 1t is a
call for the organization of a new
party, and nothing else. Those who
sign it protest that they are Repub-
leans still; and no doubt such is their
honest conviction, but in reality they
are not. Political parties are classified
by their differences and not by their
agreements. Senator Teller and the
others who have signed this address
differ from the party to which they
have heretofore given allegiance on the
most important issue of the day-the
money question-and that issue was
the political touchstone during the
presidential campaign of 1896. No
doubt these gentlemen hold the ma
jority of the old-time tenets of their
party, just as many men who have
become Democrats still hold many of
the beliefs of the party to which they
formerly belonged.
But whether Senator Teller and those
whose names are attached to this adj
dress consider themselves to be good
Republicans still, is a matter of in
difference. The real question is: What
will be the result of the movement
they have inaugurated? During the
late presidential campaign practically
all the silver forces of the country
were united under one banner, which
was held aloft by Mr.. Bryan. Senator
Teller and his associates cannot hope
to create a more perfect or far-reaching
organization THAI the Democratic
party, which championed the free sill
yer cause with all the ardor and ability
possible. Practically, they ask the
Democratic party TO cooperate with
them. 1t is perfectly willing to do this;
in fact, it did it last year. Why not
continue their fortunes, on the silver
question, with that party? Can they
consistently ask Democrats to surren-
der their party organization and accept
their leadership? And yet this is what
they in substance do ask. 1t is really
an attempt on the part of the tail to
wag the dog. If it succeeds, it will be
the first instance of the kind.
This attempt TO organize the silver
Republicans into an Independent or
ganization may meet with some sue
cess as far as the mere perfecting of
al organization is concerned. That it
viii really further the interests of sill
yer. is not probable. The effect of it
is more likely to be to divide the sill
yer forces, the very thing the gold men
desire above all others, unless the
party when organized shall be content
to act as an auxiliary of the true
silver party, the Democratic party.
But newly organized parties are rarely
content to do this, and the Silver Re
publican party will hardly prove an
exception to the rule.

A LAKESIDE IDYL POSSIBLY
TINGED WITH PREJUDICE.

L.
San Francisco Examiner: George and
Nellie loved madly. Oh how madly they
lovedi George was at least ten years old,
and Nellie was quite turned seven. Be
older than Nellie. Strange fatality. And
they so young, Yes.
II.
Twelve years have went, and George is
still three years older than Nellie. In ev-
cry of those years u moons have rose and
waned, nevertheless nothing has been ac-
comDlished to shorten the time between
their respective birthdays That strange
fatality still seems to hover Ger them.
But what are you going to do about it?
III.
1 forgot to say that all this happened in
Chicago.
George and Nellie still loved madly,
which was perhaps one reason they got
md with one another over some fool
quarrel and parted. Half an hour later
they passed each other on the street, with
three years still between them. They
passed by, but spoke not.
George is now married to a typewriter
girl and Nellie is the wife of retired
drummer. Oh. how unhappy she is. And
George bitterly regrets the day.
VI.
Suddenly they met again on Van Buren,
street. Many years have passed by. The
old love wells uD once more into their
eyes and George feels instinctively that
he is yet three years her senior. He is 46.
and she is only-but who can tell a
woman's age?
VII.
She tells him she loathes her husband
that he has too much nerve. He con-
fides. too, that he has ceased to love his
wife-that she now objects TO being die
tated to- What is TO be done? What?
VIII
The next day they are married quietly
in a dear little church. Just few friends
present, that's all Georges late wife,
and Nelies recent husband, and they are
there only as witnesses. for they bear no

BRADLEY JOHNSON'S SILLY
LETTER.
SILLY

The letter of General Bradley T.
Johnson addressed to the secretary of
the Cuban relief committee and read
before meeting of Cuban sympathiz-
ers in st. Louis, was about as silly a
thing as was ever written. He prac
tically charges that the president of
the United States and the Spanish gov
eminent are in collision on the Cuban
question, and that the president has
been bought with Spanish gold. Such
talk as that only Injuries the cause of
those in behalf of whom it is made.
1t is an outrage upon our own gov
eminent and in reality an insult to the
American people. They elected Mr..
Cleveland president and he is still
president. While they do not approve
his course in all things. in fact con-
denim it in many, they do not believe
he has betrayed the nations honor for
Spanish gold or any other gold. His
course towards Cuba may not have met
with the approval of the people, still
that does not imply that it has not
been an honest one. Nor do the
American people imply when they dis
approve of the public acts of a presi-
dent, a congress, a governor or legis-
lature, that they have been dishonest.
General Bradley Johnson's letter is on
a par with the fling of those foreigners
who say that money is the god of the
Americans and it is the only thing they
worship. 1t is absolutely false as every
American knows, but it is not more
false than the base insinuation con-
letter.
