The press of the country has
discovered that the opposition to
the admittancc Of General Joseph
Wheeler to the regular army is
confined to the little coterie Of pat
riots in the war department known
as the Alger-Corbin ring. There
is is no reason why they should
not be its source. Conspicuous
merit in the field has not been d
thing to appeal strongly to the
military clique, and as time goes
on it becomes evident that not
everything bad in the department
was either suspended with Egan
or canned with the beef.-States.

In reply to an invitation from
the Hon. Perry Belmont 10 at
tend a banquet in New York over
which he was to preside, Hon. "
J. Bryan made the following re-
ply:
You proclaimed to your fell
low citizens in 1895. that my cleo
tion upon Democratic platform
would endanger the nations well
fare. You will pardon NE if [
suggest that a banquet presided
over by you will injure rather than
aid, the Democratic party. / be-
lieve in harmonizing past differ
ences, but differences in princi-
pie cannot be harmonlzed, and ii
my judgment, no party advantage
is to be derived from political
communion between Jeffersonian
Democrats who stand upon the
Chicago platform and the Repub-
lican allies, who masquerade as
Democrats between campaigns in
order to give more potency to
their betrayal of Democratic prin-
ciples on election day

The South as yet Is not a ,harer

The English idea Of an inheri-
tance tax is spreading in this
country, and in several of the
Northern States It has been
adopted. In Massachusetts, this
mode of raising revenue is being
given fair test. It is intended
principally to reach the estates of
deceased millionaires, who during
life know 50 we'll how to dodge
the tax gatherer, while the poor
man and those Of reasonable
means must bear the burdens

This popular artist will give
one of his unique entertainments
at Sandoz Opera House tonight
April 1st, andeaS the price of adj
mission has betsl fixed at the mod
est sum of so cehts. there should
be crowded ho1sc. especially as
this is the first Slime our people
have had 4 chan1r to witness and
hear this style o. entertainment.
The following notice from a North
ern paper will give some idea Of
what may be expected tonight:
The hall was completely tile!
and the immense audience seemed
reluctant to have the Professor
bring his entertainment to q close.
The art discussion in words was
of the highest tone. It was won
derfully instructive. Either the
verbal address or the marvellous
crayon sketches would have been
complete without the other and
almost equally interesting; and
that can seldom be said of enter
tainments of this sort. OF wit
and wisdom was great abundance.
Equally in the sketch of cat, u
wall paper pattern, or the COM
plete perspective of Stantield' s
oil painting of Lake Como did
Prof. French unite instruction
and entertainment of Il very high
order, puntuated by an order Of
wit and humor of an equally high
quality.

The pension list continues to
grow. Now comes Secretary
Bliss who recommends that a law
be passed authorizing the payment
of pensions to widows whose hus-
bands have died in service from
whatever cause. If such Il law
was enacted, it would require a
yearly outcome of 100000, 900 to
meet the claims of the pensioners.
A noticeable feature of this whole
pension business is that "union
veterans are manufactured much
more rapidly than they die off. -
Many claims are admitted that
are fraudulent. and the work of
depicting the Treasury goes OH
with the most unblushing eff
frontery. Marksyille Blade.

Two or three hundred millions
of dollars issued yearly to the
government pensioners is quite
an item to the section of country
where it is distributed. The
South gets none Of this. and it
goes in block to the Northern
States. Even in the war with
Spain but few of our soldiers were
permitted to go to the front. and
pensions that will result from
this war will go to the North.

A home paper is no wise child
of charity: it earns twice over
every dollar it receives, and is
second to no enterprise in contrib
uting to the upbuilding of town
or community, says bright west
ern paper. It's patrons reap far
more benefits from its columns
than do the publishers, and in
calling for the support of the
people Of the community in which
it was published, it asks no more
in all its fairness than what be-
longs to it, though it sometimes
receives much less.

Judge Joseph Chenier's gin and
grist mill at Oaklin Springs was
destroyed by fire Wednesday
night. The fire was discovered
about midnight and had then
gained such headway that it was
impossible to check it. 1t is sup
posed to have been of an incen-
diary origin. The building and
machinery was insured for 81, 200;
loss much greater.

when you are gum chewing
