Ex. Confederate Pensions.

Secretary of State A. C.. Hull gives
some interesting data and comments on
the pensioning of INDECENT ex Confed
crate soldiers by the state of Arkansas
in his biennial report. He says
AT the present time there are l IFS
pensioners on the ex Confederate state
pension roll, drawing amounts from $50
to 800 per annum. The total amount
of pension fund on hand for 1898 was in
round numbers $i4 600, which when
prorated to the pensioners on the roll
gave them 81 per cent of their full al
lowance. The law says there shall be
paid out of the treasury of the state to
every soldier who has been for twelve
months preceding the date of his appli-
cation resident of the state, and who
is INDECENT and incapacitated for man
ual labor by reason of a wound received
while in discharge of his duties as q
soldier in the service of the state of
Arkansas or of the Confederate States
of America, certain amounts annually,
according to the degree of disability.
1t is evident while the law provides
for pensioning soldiers who were
wounded in the service, the intention
Of the law is to grant a pension to no
one who is not in INDECENT circumstan-
ces. In other words, the success of a
soldier s application, although he may
have been wounded, depends on whether
or not he is in INDECENT or needy cir
cumstances.
''Such was the ruling of the board in
1897 and in order that the board might
be able to ascertain the true condition
of each pensioner. financially, on the
roll, or who might be applicants for
pensions in the future, we adopted "A
new blank for 1898, showing full and
complete list of the property. both real
and personal, and its value, owned by
each claimant This was sent out and
required them to make out under their
oaths and file with the board. The re-
suit was that we found quite number
of pensioners on the old list whom we
did not consider INDECENT, and they were
stricken off. The same test was applied
to new applicants.
This action on the part of the board
was not taken because it would save or
protect the interests of the state, but
because. in the first place, the law ap-
plies to INDECENT Confederate soldiers
only; and second, because to do other
wise would be an injustice and work a
hardship on the really INDECENT and de-
serving applicant who is entitled to and
needs all the law allows him, and be-
cause every dollar allowed man who
is not INDECENT and has means sufficient
for support, takes that much from the
poor. needy and truly INDECENT pen

Political Pensions.

The Chicago Times Herald in dis
cussing Pensions as Political Bribes, -
declares that Senator Vest is one of the
strongest of partisians, but admits that
it is impossible to read partisanship
into his sensible and excellent speech
on the evils of politics in pensions The
tables he quoted, the testimony he gave,
are conclusive. Anyone who has not
appreciated what the course of the
peculiar kind of bribery which they in
dicate has been will be amazed and
disguised at the revelations they con
tain.
Speaking of Missouri, the senator
said; 1t appears that in my own state,
where we furnished, according to off =
cial reports, 1o9, 900 soldiers to the
federal army during the four years of
hostilities, there are now SO, 900 pen
sions. nearly oneh half of the whole
number of soldiers that We're in the
army from that state, even for thirty
days. That is an astounding record and
wholly inezplicable on any other ground
than that Of political bribery. The
pensions amount TO 81 200, 900 annually
and large part of this represents an
exchange of influence for influence.
The vote getter and vote giver arrange
purchase and sale and the government
IS made to foot the bill
An interesting comparison between
tne figures for Illinois and Indiana de-
-sloped some curious features. Illinois
furnished 259, 092 soldiers and has IS, =
III pensioners, who are paid annually
50 943 .2e3. Indiana's soldiers were
196. 3e4, her pensioners number 6s, ,2l2.
and their pensions amount TO $40. $50, =
900 annually. Note that while Illinois
contribution to the army greatly ex.
ceeded that of Indiana the excess of her
pensioners is very small and her pen
sions are actually below those Of the
Aister state. This. says the Times
Herald. can be explained. as Senator
Vest pointed out. in one way only.
Indiana was debatable political ground
for years. and Democrats and Republi
cans We'd with each other in the use Of
the pension bribe. -

The State Republican has been sold by
Geo. W. Clayton to DR.. W. d. Math

Mathews was formerly editor of the
Stuttgart Free Press, a Republican

The ChOctaW Road.

The following circular has been is

Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf road:
1.-The Choctaw, Oaklahoma and Gulf
Railroad Company has awarded con-
tracts for the construction of 164 miles
of railroad through one of the best
agricultural sections Of the magnificent
state of Arkansas. Work has already
commenced, and the line will doubtless
be in operation by October 1, 1899.

k4OOI . L HIS with Hoods sarsaparills.

Ny object in this paper, as before
said is to present it to your readers,
among whom there are no doubt many
who are interested in roads, and induce
experiments on varying qualities of soil
To meet with success the following
conditions, in the writer S opinion,
should be observed:
/. The road should be smoothly grad
ed and rounded well, so as to shed
water.
Q. Apply the oil to the roadbed while
dry. If the soil is filled with water i,
the oil will penetrate with difficulty
and much of it will be carried off on the
wheels of passing wagons.
3. 1t would be well to roll the ground
after the oil is put on. 1t has tend
ency to collect in ruts and small hol
lows, and the roller would force it into
the soil and distribute it evenly.
a. Crude oil costs from so to 80 cents
per barrel at the wells. Its odor is
disagreeable, and oil from which the
naphtha and kerosene has been extract
ed would be preferable to apply in
warm weather When cold the heavy
oil becomes too stiff to be applied with
out heating. This could be overcome
by some form of spraying apparatus,
using jet of steam.

DEATH RATE GROWING.
Doctors Attribute 1t to What We E.

DOCTORS Attribute IL to What We Eat.
The constantly increasing number of
deaths from stomach troubles is exciting
the keenest interest among the medical
fraternity. The prevalence of these
stomach disorders or ailments the doc
tors attribute largely to impure food
products with which the country at
large seems to be flooded. and in an at
tempt 10 counteract which many of the
states have enacted pure food laws.
The fact of the matter is the people of
the United States are, as a rule. too
careless and Indifferent as to what they
eat or how il is cooked, and the inevit-
able penalty of disordered stomachs 10
the result. One of the authorizations
that is most serious in its effects is the
use of alum TO whiten bread or to furn-
ish cheap baking powder. Il destroys
the coating of the stomach. produces
dyspepsia. and eventually poisons the
blood Try piece of alum in your
mouth and note the result. No stomach
into which it enters can long remain
healthy.

UNTIL his disapproval of the expansion
idea was known, Andrew Carnegie was
treated as great and privileged char
acter by the republican leaders of the
country. His views on public questions
were heralded far and wide. SO su-
perior citizen was Mr.. Carnegie
and so potent was his pocketbook-that
tariffs were made and amended to meet
his wishes. No man was mightier than
he in all the Republican party. All
this, however, is suddenly changed
Because he sees great danger to our
government in the reckless schemes of
the imperialists, the Republican manag

White Men Must Rule.

From the Dubuque Qowa) Herald.
The suggestion that the negroes should
rule if they are in the majority will not
be entertained by the white people of
the South, no more than it would be by
the whites of the North if they were con
fronted by the same suggestion. Until
the negro is taken into full social com
panionship with the whites and is on the
average as intelligent, the whites will
rule wherever they encounter the blacks
and that means for all time to come.
