Pension LEGISLATION NEEDED.

This Congress should pass law pro
the granting OF pensions. The law as it
now stands grants pension TO sol
dier's widow, it matters not when the
soldier was married; the only questions
Co be proven In obtaining d pension is
whether she he destitute and If the
applicant was the widow of an eX-sol-
der. This is a most fruitful! source Of
fraud and one which should be stopped.
Instances nave been known I'D this city
where Old soldiers lying on the bed Of
death have been held up and married
to young women IN order that the
woman might draw a pension after his
death. This is wrong IN many ways:
Ii places the old soldier in his senility
al the mercy OF designing women Of a
low grade Of character who are very
anxious for this $500 a week, which to
them Is better than working ont as ser
wants. Twenty years from today there
Will be great many of the old soldiers
living and a great many of them will
marry as late az that. These women OF
a low grade will be constantly schem-
ing to marry some old. decrepit man,
solely for the purpose of obtaining this
pension from the Government, with
out either love or care or any other
motive than desire to rob the Govern
ment. These women Will live and draw
pensions from 80 TO 10 years, and when
this century shall have rolled around
and the year 1000 shall have come
there will be great many soldiers
widows upon the list drawing their
pensions. As before remarked these
women are OF low grade, and they
Will have tendency 10 discredit the
real, patriotic soldiers widows who are
Justly entitled to this pension. The
mothers who staid st home, attended
to the family, raised the children, and
elbore with the hsrdshipS of single if
while their husbands were fighting for
their country, are entitled to everything
that generous Government can give
them, but these girls, and in some in
stances courtesans are not entitled to
any of the benefits that belong to real,
noble-kearted soldiers widows. 1t is
Infamy beyond description that this
law is what it is and the Congress
when it passed it did not realize what
would be the results. The law should
be changed and changed at once, that
honesty and humanity and justice pre-
vail, shut this open door of infamous
wrong Washington News Letter.

1t is refreshing to read the following
from the Indianapolis News "The
United States is at peace, and, in spite
of heated political wrangles and the
Oft-repeated prediction that we are 60
ing to "the demnition bow vows" we
are astonishing the world with our pro.
gress In commerce, In manufacture, in
art, in literature. Our best energies
have been spent on our country, we
have no colonies to foster, 10 foreign
entanglementS TO hinder us, no country
alien to our continent, 10 defend. Why
should We depart from the policy of
our fathers? The voice of the dead,
whose blood sanctilied this soil, warns
us TO be humble, to De content with our
glorious heritage. Shall we, for the
sake of leprous colony, urged thereto
By commercial greed, disregard the
warning? Shall we leave forever the
road to which the founders of this
nation pointed US and enter upon the
crooked, troublous path along which
monarchies and republics alike have
met humiliation and destruction?

The following resolutions were ad.
opted as the policy to be pursued by
the democratic party in the house OF
representatives.
Resolved: That it is the sense of the
caucus that the Democratic members
of the house of representatives ought
to resist all efforts direct or indirect to
retire the creenbacks.
Resolved: That We are opposed 10
and will resist all attempts to extend
the privileges OF national banks or to
reduce the taxes which they now pay
Resolved: That We favor the early
consideration and passage OF the Sena-
tOrial resolution that condition of war
exists in the Island of Cuba between
tie government of Spain and the PEG
pie OF Cuba.
Resolved: That we favor the early
enactment OF a just and wise bankruptcy
law.
Resolved: That a committee of one
member from each state, territory ant
the District of Columbia be selected by
the democratic delegation from eacf
state and nine senators to be appointed

John w. Kern gives the democracy
the state some sound advice on or
anization in these words; eve can't
carry the coming election by precedent.
That might have been done In OH
times, bat It won't work III these days
of Mark Hanna. We might as well
make up Our minds that we are going
into one o. the hardest and most holly
contested battles ever waged in politics
that we will have to confront corrup-
ton, bribery, tricks aud chIcanery: yes,
may say fraud in its most daring
form. and to oppose such weapons We
must have a thorough, complete ami
effective organization. Let us go into
the light well organised Place no man
on the county ticket whose name does
not carry with It respect. Remember
no watchers are allowed, and therefore
men must be put on as judges who are
absolutely incorruptible and in whose
integrity there can be no doubt. Let lis
impress the people and the party with
the danger that cOnfrCnts them and
as. Plant the banner Of democracy
upon the principles we advocated last
year and appeal to the people for their
support and it will not be waiting"

Chris Merry and his accompice
Smith have been captured. Detective
Weber, of Chicago, identified them
yesterday. The prisoners have had a
rough time Of it in their efforts TO
escape. According TO their story they
remained in Chicago for five days after
the murder and then wandered hither
and thithef through Illinois, Indiana
and OHIO and thence to kentucky,
stealing their transportation on freight
trains when they could and walking
when obliged to do so. Aerry's feet
gave out as his shoes were delapidated

Ii may be well for those people
whose InclinatiOns have been turning
lODglDgly to the Klondike to read

Congressman Ball on Annexation.
Secretar

am as much opposed to the annex
ton of Hawaii as L am in favor of the
recognition of Cuban belligerency. said
Congressman Ball of Texas, when ask
Cd for an expression of his views on
the question. We have enough conflict
ing interests already IN our immense
territory and diversified industries with
out adding mixed population twenty
two hundred miles from our shores
who do not understand our institutions
nor appreciate our form of government.
Why Hawaii has as many lepers as
American citizens, five times as many
japanese, three times as many POItu
gese. twice as many Chinese, twice as
many other foreign citizens, and thirty
times as many natives. President Me
klnley significantly remarks in his
message that it might not be wise to
give them unrestricted suffrage. Those
Of US who passed through reconstruct
len know what that means. Why should
We add population not worthy free
American citizenship: To annex
Hawaii is to disregard the advice OF
Washington and abandon the Monroe
Doctrine; where such policy of colon
ial aggression would end no man can
forsee. The mex: thing logically fol low
ing annexation will be two gold stand
ard United States Senator's, and one or
two Congressman urging a powerful
navy. We have as it is the best coaling
station on the Island and every com
mercial advantage, and sensible men
not fear that We will lose these
advantages. Let us keep out of the
jealous efforts of European powers to
extend their possessions, and direct Our
every effort to taking care of what we
have. We need first of all to restore a
Republican form of government to our
people, administered in the interest of
all classes of our citizens upon the
American plan.

The new law for the punishment

demned to the states prison at Mich

position OF the offender. Some pro-

be made TO conform to the record of
