the Rebellion Of the nineteenth, was re-
jected. > .ass IN A
Grosvenor was exceptionally bellicose
during the discussion of the pension
appropriation. The pensioned old SOL
der had no more eloquently indignant
defender than was he. Those who dar-
ed suggest reform had no more vitu-
perative assailant than he. His atti-
tude provoked investigation Of his own
status. for he is a pensioner. His
record shows good service without in
jury until 1865. when he was shaken
up in a railroad accident. It did not
occur to him that he was eligible to
the pension list until the arrears Of
pension act baited the cupidity of men
so heavily. Then he discovered that
his shoulder was hurt in the railway
accident fifteen years before, and he
applied for and was granted g. pension
Of $3.50 a month and $3,975 arrears
When the scandal Of that act became
a stencil that threatened death to poll
ticians connected with it, Grosvenor
covered back, in 1884, his arrears into
the treasury, but got an increase Of
his monthly stipend to $50. Notwith-
standing his pensionable disability he
passes the medical examination of in
surance companies that accept him as
an insurable risk to the extent of $780,
0O0 1t Is not to be expected that
Grosvenor would do aught but stand
up bravely for the system that treats
him so generously.
Meanwhile Friday continues to be
private pension bill day in the house,
and only those members who are Secur-
ing the passage Of such bills are pres
emit; sixty or seventy out of the 356
members are the most in attendance
The committee reports are read, rolls
called and bills passed with only now
and then any debate or question. One
such passed after exposure of its alb
solute want Of merit. An Ohioan turn
ed out with his neighbors to obstruct
Morgan in his famous raid. This man
was put to telling trees in the road and
trimming their limbs into a chevaux
de frise. His ak glanced and the helve
hit his abdomen. Twenty odd years
later hernia appeared. He was never
in the service, but he is old and poor
and ruptured, and the hernia might be
the result Of the blow, and so his bill
goes through with a vote of forty odd
for, to some twenty against. And yet
there are those who say that the pen
sion list is the roll Of honor.

BURGLARS ENTER OFFICES.
Carry Away From the Manhattan
building Sunday Stamps and
Money A,sgrqgati5,r SD

Burglars played havoc in the Manhattan
building, Fifth and Robert streets, Sunday
afternoon. when nine offices were broken
into and rihed.
The plumber secured, however was of small
consequence, as little of value in the lire of
portable articles was found, except small
sums of money and stamps, aggregating not
more than S25.
The burglars ransacked the building during
the afternoon, doubtless when the special
Waterman was absent The elevators We're
not running, and with one passing through
the BUILDING, they worked undi turb ID fer sew
eral hours. Some doors were opened with
skeleton keys the locks skillfully picked
while others were broken open. Desks in the
offices were nriCd open.
From the office Of the Northwestern Life
Insurance company, on the third floor some
stamps were taken, while SIS in cash was Sc
cured in the office of E. W. Peet & Co.

there is his little sport with the mill
tary ardor of. the adjutant general, al
ways subdued on a peace establish
ment. yet chatting for chance to draw
the saber and flesh it in some foe of

the hopes of the valiant military orna-
ment of the executives staff, and set
him and his office force to putting the
state national guard on a war footing,
but on reflection, If the adjutant gen
eral rises to such bait so gullibly, he
is fair sport for the governor or any
one else

NEW P. O. REGULATION.
Banks Are Required to Call for
Their Registered Mail Instead Of
Having 1t Delivered,

general order has been issued by the
postmaster general forbiddng postoffices to
deliver registered packages supposed to con-
tain money to banks, trust companies and
financial institutions. Such institutions must
send to the offices for their registered mail.
For some two years there has been a ire
mendous increase in the money remittances
through the postofiice service; banks finding
it less expensive than through express COM
panies.
AS special protection is afforded a let
ter carrier by the regular delivery of valu-
able packages it Is supposed that the post
master general prefers the banks to run
their own risks in carrying the money through
the streets.

To Help Them In Their Running

From the Boston CIass} Herald
Col. Watterson proposes that the reindeer
which Uncle Sam has imported from Lapland
and has no use for be distributed among
congressman on the congressional garden seed
plan. This would give each member about
two reindeer, and two reindeer would mean
about two votes. though it might ALLEVIATE
those voters who failed to be thus favored
The plan would operate very much as the
distribution of Offices on the spoiIs principle
does. That is to say, it would make about
ten enemies to one migrate.

DR.. Powell has picked up he glove cast

son and Is ready to meet~the Spanish
challenger in mortal conflict on the
field of honor. In some quarters there
will be a suspicion that the doughty
doctor is talking through his 'fWhite

The great difficulty to be overcome is
the matter Of distance. 1t is some lit

while DR.. Powell suggests army pistols,
it is doubtful If the instruments Of
death can be sighted up to the neces-
