cousin of Judge Oglesby, and the burial
Of Mrs. McPeak, who was the wife Ct

The New YORK Press recounts this
story about Hon. Edward j. Lauterbach.
the famous New York lawyer and Re
publican chairman Ed. Lauterbach. as
we all know, is generally counsel for the
Third-Avenue Railroad Company. and IS
defending IT constantly against all sorts
OF damage suits. In a recent case the
victim testified that. owing TO the negli-
gence or the companys employees. he
was thrown under a car and maneled
i'm satisfaction whereof he wanted some
ThIng like $1,000. Mr. Lauterbach under

rault that he was injured, his main re-
lance being the conductor, who swore 70

FITZ. LEES PLACE.

If the United States recognize the in
dependence of Cuba, the next step on
their part will be to send a minister TO
represent us near that government.
In that case the conventional word,
near" will have some appropriateness,
for the Cubans do not seem to have any
stationary capital. Their seat of gov
eminent travels along the road with their
army, we suppose, and it could only be
required of our minister to get as near
to it as possible.
The Washington Times suggests that
Fitz Lee would be by long odds the most
suitable man for the office of Minister to
Cuba. We quite concur in that view, and
believe his appointment would please the
American people very much indeed.
But all this is like counting chickens
before they are Matched. 1t is too early
yet to assume that the United States are
going to recognize Cuban independence.
They may do so, to be sure-and then
again, they may not
Such action upon the part Of our gov
eminent would not under ordinary cir
cumstances necessarily involve us in war
with Spain; but as things now stand,
we might quite certainly count upon its
having bloody results. But no matter
whether promotion comes to Fitz Lee or
not, he has won a place IN the hearts of
the American people and in the h'a,cry
OF our times which any other man might
envy.

Az uPERTINENT MEDDLER.

| Scattered over the North are some
| pestiferous fellows, who take 10 stock IN
| patriotism-for pelf. one Of these lives
| IN Connecticut, and II seems mat this
particular fellow, in addition to being in
clined to be meddlesome, has cultivated
very largely the Yankee Characteristic OF
! inquisitiyencss. in letter TO the New
York Times he proceeds to NEEDLE in a
most provoking way in the pension bust
ness. and asks several very impertinent
questions.
First. this meddler wants to know why
in counting the cost Of possible war with
Spain the prospect of having another
army Of pensioners saddled upon the
country has not been considered. While
disclaiming any purpose to NEEDLE
ourselves. we would delicately suggest
that, judging the future by the past, it
might be competent to conclude that the
prospect aforesaid has been considered
in certain quarters.
Next our Connecticut meddler Of in
curing mind declares that it is noto-
rious fact. which any one may take cog
nizance of. at least in country towns
where every pensioner is known as such
to his neighbors, that a large proportion
% those who are drawing $l2 month
pension money are men who received no
sort Of injury during the war; were
neither wounded nor SICK and are many
of them engaged in business or at work
at their different trades with all the
and endurance usual to men
averaging a little over 80 years Of age.
Then the impertinent rce1d|er's 'nquisi-
tiveness breaks out again. and he 1esi""s
to be informed why Congress. when the
bill appropriating S5O,OOO,Oco for national
defence was up. did not show its patriot
SIN by some effort to reform the pen
sion system and save the people some
,5aOOO.O00 a year, which could be done |
without deprivng single soldier of the |
ate war of his just due"
Again. with great Difference, we ven
ure a corrective suggestion. This Con-
,ecticut meddling correspondent Of the
Times has not posted himself thoroughly
m the figures. According to high au-
hority-no less high authority than sew
raj leading Grand Army men-as mncn
8 1925 100000 per annum could be caved
Y pension reform without depriving a
ingle Union veteran Of his Just due.
n other words, conscientious inva9tga-
,rs into the pension iHiqui.y estimate
nat legitimate pension expenditures
,ould not amount to much over S25,-
% 900 n year.
In conclusion, Connecticuts impcrti-
ent and inquisitive citizen pfopcunGs the
lery whether the offer to the Presi-
,nt a few days ago of Che services Of
900 Federal veterans, in case Of need,
ould not seem to be refutation of the
t-repeated assertion that the Federal
rvivors of the war are ailing and |
oken-down men, requiring financial aid
ON the government.
AS to this question. we have no sug-
stion TO make. 1t strikes us as a
oser."
