bocas of Cuba, and was satisfied tha'
his services would prove invaluable
to the Government. All that ne
wanted vas an opportunity to demon
strate it. A third was lady OF re-
fnement, who daintily apologized fo1
hea intrusion. She had son who
was about to graduate from the Nava
School. She wanted influence to be
brought to b ar upon the Secretary OF
the Navy, urging him to give her son
shore duty. She had heard that he
was about to receive orders to join
Sampson fleet. She thought him
peculiarly adapted to shore duty. He
was always sick when on the water.
Even when aSboy the rocking OF a
boat would make him sick.
Two old ladies in deep mourning
next demanded attention. One had a
son who had enlisted in the army
three weeks ago, and was now at the
Washington barracks. She had heard
that he had been ordered to the front,
and she was afraid that he might be
hurt or get into bad company il sent
to Tampa. She said that she wanted
him to assist her in her business, and
with tears in her eyes urged the Con-
gressman to secure his discharge.
When told that according to law he
could be discharged only on payment
Of 800 she promptly displayed roll
Of bills, saying that she would pay
$500 if necessary. The enlistment
had been made without her knowledge,
and the boy was too young and too
delicate to bear the hardships of war.
When asked his age she promptly
replied ''27, but he has always been a
boy who stayed at home

scenes in Washington every day. All
Representatives are besieged morning
and night by similar applications.
Young men in all walks Of life appear
to be imbued with the military spirit,
and eagerly express desire to wear a
uniform. It is to their credit that
most of them, while seeking appoint
ment, are ardently DESTROYS Of being
sent to the front. A chance to fight
is what they want, but chance to
6glt with sword and not musket,
is what they prefer.

The Greenville "Mountaineer is
a Prohibitionist on principle. 1t has
been advocating a straightout Prohi-
bition fight for more than year past,
and has never wavered for moment
in its preference for Prohibition as the
best solution Of the liquor question.
Our support of the dispensary as law
of the State says the ''Mountaineer,
,''was based solely on it's being prefer
able to bar rooms, but it was never
satisfactory in itself and its admins
tration has been still more unsatisfac-
tory. The position Of our contem-
porary is rational and ineligible. In
the opinion of many, perhaps major
ity, of the people Of the State the
dispensary system, if it were properly
administered, would be better than the
old bar room system, but as long as
men and politicians are what they are
it is doubtful that the administration
of the dispensary can ever be other
wise than unsatisfactory. rs for the
bar rooms they arc not possible under
the new Constitution of the State.
/ Whatever changes may be made IN the
regulation of the liquor traffic, the old
| bar room business can never be resur-
rected. In any system that may be
adopted the best features Of the dis
pensary system must be preserved.
/ If it cannot be destroyed altogether,
as the 'Mountainecr' would prefer,
the business should be removed as far
=as possible from the control OF politl-
clans. who have used it, and will con-
tinue to use it. for the promotion OF
their selfish and factional ends-N'ms

side him in the ranks, but who was
not so-shall we say fortunate?-as to
receive little Spanish lead in his
person. 1t is mistaken notion that
all those who are honorably discharged,
whether disabled or not, are entitled
to preference.
There are many ways by which the
disabled veteran will profit. In the
first place he need not worry about
age limitations. He will be released
from them all. Applicants covered by
the ordinary rule cannot become clerks
until 20 years Of age-but he will be
eligible if only boy. While others
will be required to make an average Of
at least 20 per cent. on civil service
examinations to enter even the lowest
place on the eligible list, with no
hope Of appointment, he will have ex-
cellent chances of obtaining position
with an average of only Is per cent.
Having made this low mark, he will
be placed upon the eligible list above
and will be certified for appointment
before all others not allowed similar
preference-even though they may
make as high as 100 per cent. Furth-
ermore. he will be released from all
laws relating to apportionment, and it
will matter not whether he be from a
State whose quota for civil Offices is
already full and overfowing. If, how
ever, on the same register the names
Of other preference claimants appear,
the one of that category having the
highest average will, of course, head
the list.
1t is also an erroneous idea that a
special law will have to be passed to
pension the new veterans OF the Span
ish-American war. The pension Office
is already at work upon cases growing
out Of this struggle. He who leaves
both of his hands in the war hospital
these members having been destroy
ed in the line Of duty-will enjoy an
allowance of 500 month, in addition
to the other perquisites allowed by the
Government. The same will be given
for the loss of both eyes. The loss of
both feet will be worth s72 month.
One hand and one foot together will
be worth $36, the same as given for
amputation at or above the elbow or
knee. One hand or one foot will be
worth $50, the same as given for total
Deafness. Should a stray Spanish
bullet happen by chance to gouge out
one eye, SIT month will be paid, but
if the eye remains and merely the
sight is lost, the monthly allowance
will be s5 less. Total deafness in one
ear will be worth $40 month, as will
also the trimming off Of all the toes
on one foot. A thumb will be worth
S8 month, an index finger 81, any
other finger s2, big toe Sc, and any
other toe 50.
Pensions allowed for death will de-
pend upon the rank Of the victim, the
number Of persons dependent upon
him, and their ages. The widow of
an enlisted man will get sl2 a month
and each of her minor children 81.
Widows and orphans Of army and ma
val officers of high rank will doubtless
get handsome pensions from Con-
gress, if possessing suficientinauence
and the necessary recommendations.
Women nurses will probably be pen
stoned whether disabled or not.
Much more strictness is to be main
tanned towards pensions for the pres.
ent war than for those of the conflict
between the North and South.-Pstts-

No End Of Perqnlsites.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Thcse who
have friends or relatives in this war
will find consolation in an enumera-
tion of the many perquisites to which
the disabled fighter will fall heir after
the smoke of battle has cleared away
-balms which Uncle Sam will cheer
fully apply to wounds incurred in his
brave defence.
Indeed, the wounded fighter need
never fear starvation or privation in
old age. IF able to work he will be
practically sure Of snug Government
position for life. If disabled to the
extent of helplessness, he will be
housed, fed and clothed. In either
case he will draw a comfortable pen
sion in addition. Unless the grim
angel Of death seek him when he is in
some strange place where his identity
is unknown he will never be buried in
a potter field. He will be insured a
decent burial. He need not entertain
dread visions of starving wife, starv-
ing children, starving brothers and
sisters or dependent and starving pa
rents. Lost limbs will be replaced by
new ones, fashioned as skillfully as
artifce can make them.
In some quarters there prevails the
| mistaken impression that the young
/ veteran of the Spanish-American war
will not profit by the same civil SER
vice determinations which were es-
tablished by law in favor Of the vcte-
ran of the civil war. Your cores
pondent has talked the matter over
with Chief Examiner Seryen, Of the
civil service commission. who assured
him that every partiality shown by
the commission for the, old veteran
would hold good for the new.
"Section 1854, of the Revised
Statutes, said he, provides that
persons honorably discharged from the
military or naval service by reason OF
disability resulting from wounds or
sickness incurred in the line Of duty
shall be preferred for appointments to
civil offices, provided they are found
to possess the business capacity nee
essary for the proper discharge Of their
duties. Thus, you see, the law is
general in that it applies to the mill
tary or naval service, no particular
war being mentioned No new lcgls
lation will be needed to allow the new
war veteran to profit by those discrlm
nations. That this is SO will be al
the more appreciated when | tell you
that men in the regular army and ma
val service in time of peace have beer
proGtiug by this law since it went into
effect; men who never saw duty in any
war.
Therefore, if your father, your hus
band, your son or your brother comes
home to you from one Of the milltar!
or naval hospitals honorably discharg
cd, he will have excellent prospects O
a life position in one Of the depart
ments or elsewhere in the civil ser
vice, unless he lacks the ordinary abll
ity of messenger or watchman
With mediocre educational advantage
he should be able to pass as clerk
In the civil service examinations OF
which so many individual hopes ar
constantly relying, he will be glvc'

MONTEREY MAY REMAIN.
Belief That the Monitor VIII BE

A number Of citizens VINO are watch
ing events pretty closely believe that
the Charleston officer who told the
Advertiser that the coast defense No
nitor Monterey, Of the American Navy
was likely TO remain in this port indie
fnitely. was about right. Said one
gentleman: THAT would be an excel
lent plan and a sound precaution for
several reasons. AS the war pro
crosses there may be some privateer-
ing on the part Of the Spaniards and
this place would be open TO attack
Then the Monterey could do glorious
work, for she would be able to cope
successfully with a considerable fleet
of visitors from some South or Central
American port. It is not at all likely
that Admiral Dewey is in sore or i'm
peratfve need of such a ship as the
Monterey. He could not utilize her
unless the Spanish sent an expedition
to make an attempt to recapture Ma
Mia. This plan would be known in
the United States before it was toe
late to send a swift dispatch boat down
here and get the Monterey on to where
she was needed. The monitor IS q
peculiar craft in many ways. As
fighting machine she is a terror. Oh
the cruise she is under water, but en-
tirely safe. The greatest drawback &c
her use far from a friendly port is hel
very contracted steaming radius. She
