Four companies of Sons of Veterans
have done most acceptable service To-
ward restoring peace and public conf.
dence in the unhappy affair at Virden
Ills. Capt Charles a. Fervier, and Co
ID of Sens of Veterans of Elgin, ILL.,, have
been especially commended for courage
tact and firmness in efecting disarma

the reconcentradoes have left them
youth and a fertile land smiling with
eternal Summer. A few weeks from
now the last enemy will have left their
shores. The Winter will bring freedom
and rest, the Spring prosperity. But
the veterans are in the clutch of a
tyrant whose grip daily becomes more
deadly. The Winter will bring them
no relief the Spring no promise.
Why begrudge these notwithstanding
men the few dollars a month which
they earned at such fearful cost to
themselves, and which the law allows
them, and which would serve to make
the few years that yet remain to them
more tolerable and less painful? Why
ignobly haggle and chatter with any of
them as to whether his wound or his

more or less? Why break his poor old
heart with years of pcttifogging over
small, soulless technicalities as to whether
or not he is entitled to a pension at all ?
Why vex his sad soul with quibbling, pre-
varication, shufiiing, procrastination, and
all manner of devices as dishonest as in.
~enious, to stave off his claim until he
dies, and his pension is so "saved to the
Treasury? In the days when he was
opulent in youth and strength lie gave
everything he had to you. Because he
did so, lie is now old beyond his years,
poor, and disabled. Why not treat him
not as generously as he treated YOU.
but justly? Suppose it docs cost a
few millions more for few wears, will
not the Nation be much richer for
having dealt righteously with those to
whom it owes everything?
Let the American people pause to
day and think of the veterans as TREY
10 of other peoples in their days Of suf7
fering. lie: them think what the misery
must be among the men who wrote
Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga,
Atlanta, the Wilderness, and Apo
mattox on our banners. and what the
Nations duty is to those men. 1t will
require but little thinking on the part Of
the whole people to settle the pension
question the way the veterans would
have it settled. The American people
are too generous, too grateful, and too
Just to wish anvmman who served the
Nation faithfully in its hour of diTe
need to 90 down to his grave in bitter
ness and sorrow, merely to save few
dollars to the Treasury.

TERRITORIAL RIGHTS.

TERRITORIAL RIGHTS.
! In recent decision upon the RICH
of Congress to prohibit liquor-selling il
the District Of Alaska, Judge VIM. W
Morrow, of the United States Circui
Court, enunciated a doctrine which i:
attracting widespread attention, in view
Of our relations to newly acquired terri
tory. He said
The Territories of the United States are
entirely subject to the legislative laws Of
Congress They are not organized under the
| Constitution, nor subject to its complex dis
tribution of the powers of Government as
the organic law, but are the creation, ex-
clusively, of the Legislative Department, and
subject to it's supervision and control Con-
gress may legislate in accordance with the
special needs of each locality, and vary It's
regulations to meet the circumstances OF the
people.
This undoubtedly correct doctrine
will astonish most people. We are ac-
customed to regard our Territories. as
embryo States, peopled by our own fel-
low-citizens, who must be governed pre-
cisely as other Americans are governed,
with the principal difference being that
/ Congress makes laws for them, instead
of their doing it themselves through
their Legislatures. In making its laws
Congress kept very close the laws and
practices of the States generally. This
was all right enough as long as we were
dealing with Territories which in few
years were certain to become members
of the sisterhood Of States.
But, as Judge Morrow lays down, Con
gress has never, been under any legal
obligation TO give Territory laws and
form of Government based on those OF
the States. The Territory is the crea-
ton of Congress, and it can make sucE,
laws for it as it pieases. 1t is under no
obligation, even, to make its laws un,.
form. Had it go desired, it could have
made one set of laws and regulations
for Indiana Territory, and another fol-
louisiana Territory. 1t does that to-
day, where it BIAS one set of laws for
the District f Columbia, another for
the Indian Thirdly, and still another
for the Distr4t u Alaska. There is
not the Sigh lest restraint upon it in
providing on. kind of Government and
laws for Has aii, radically different
one for Porto sics still another for the
Philippines, 4 ld on. The people OF
those countria DO ot become citizens Of
the United Sates, ior clothed with TIA
rights and pk1kges inherent in our
citizens.
1t must be remembered that ours is a
Government Of g States.p Every thing
begins with the State. To ehave his
full rights as an American, man must
be the citizen of some State. Peop5e
outside the jurisdiction of the States are
wholly subject to Congress, except that
every native or naturalized citizen has
certain constitutional rights which must
be strictly regarded. Inhabitants OF
Territories who have not acquired this
citizenship can be dealt with by Con
gress according TO its discretion. The
only constitutional exception TO this is
that it cannot allow them to be reduced
to slavery.

TIE feeling is. rising in the Grand
Army of the Republic against the un-
written law" Of giving the Senior Vice
Commander-in- Chiefship to the city
which entertains the National Encamp-

to give the second position in the Order
to few Posts in some city. There
would be less opposition if it was the
Junior Vice Commander-in-C Chief, whose
chances Of being called upon to succeed
the Commander-in.C Chief are much more
remote. There has always been good
deal of quiet opposition to this "un-
written law" and the National Encamp-
ment has been quick to take advantage
of any occasion to break it. Thus, in
1892 advantage was taken of a dispute
among Washington comrades to elect
War6eld, of California, Senior Vice
Commander-inYC Chief, and the National
Encampment came very near doing the
same thing at Louisville. The office

PROF. VAN buren, DENsLow makes
suggestion that should be acted on
that one of the Philippines be set aside
as penal colony, upon which to settle
criminals sentenced to the penitentiary.
This would be good way of disposing
of those persons-especially the habit

tsent there and turned loose, and nc
further attention be paid them except
TO maintain a guardship to prevent
escape. They would not need many

other labor than to reach up and pull

MEN who have been in a position to
know say that the dense ignorance of
Spanish politicians Of the world at-large
is appalling. They have tolerable
knowledge of France and French af-
fairs, but of no other country or Ian

telegraph during the war they could
find no one among them who could read
German, and consequently German dis

GEN. sHAFTER ON PENSIONS.

Gen. Shafter has gone far out Of his
way to make fling at his old comrades.
In letter repelling the attacks on him
by the yellow press, he says:
I am very fond Of Evans Pension Com
missoner), and am very glad that you are
defending him. Some of the GAR. are
simply unbearable, and seem to think if
they can't have the Treasury turned over to
them they are being defrauded.
We are willing to believe that the
General wrote this in an impulsive mo-
ment, and without sufficient considera-
ton. If he had stopped to reflect he
would have remembered that it is ex-
.actly the same fellows who are now as
sailing him who have been attacking
the GAR and the pension system in
the past. The roll of their names can
be called, if necessary. They are at
lacking him in the same violent, reck-
less way as they did the pensioners.
1t is astonishing that victim of their
calumnies should be ready to accept
their calumnies on his comrades.
The veterans have shown more judg-
ment in this matter than Gen. Shafter
has. They have stood by him as a
comrade of the GAR, particularly, as
they were fully informed by experience
of the character of his assailapts They
felt from the first that the attacks upon
him were of the same lying, malignant
nature as those they had suffered them
selves. Gen. Shafter has shown APP
parently very much less discrimination.
