the issue and bring on the fight. The
amount alleged to be due the county is
something like 10000 and the case will
probably be heard in the Superior Court

action to-day, but the matter will be
adjusted in little while, and neither
of the parties expect trouble from it,

afraid of killing one another, so did not

were fired then, and the negro is said to
have been badly wounded. He was seen
afterwards by negroes In the neighbor-

The condition Of spring wheat shown
by the government crop report had some
influence. Much was made of a report
that rate from New York to Kansas
city had been made on freight by way OF
the Grand Trunk and Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy to meet the rate by way
of the Gulf and Southwestern lines. Some
anxiety was ftlt lest this might presage

that to-morrow's bank statement might
not prove the encouraging exhibit which
has been predicted for 1t during the week.

A FIGHT TO A FINISH.

The selfish, sordid, greedy, ungrateful
Money Power, mostly concentrated in
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, and
| largely represented and controlled by men
who have come into the country since the
close of the rebellion, has entered upon
an organized campaign to reduce pension
expenditures. 1t can not bear to see $780,
100000 year taken from its control, and
distributed among the common people all
over the country. This makes money
more plentiful everywhere, and easier to
get. II reduces the rate of interest, and
cuts down the profits Of the great lending
corporations. 1t puts great sum of
money completely out Of the control of the
with the consuming hatred of men whose
'pocket-nerves" are irritated. On the
other hand, the small merchant, the dealers
of all kinds, the great mass of common
people everywhere, to whom this money
is Immediately paid by the pensioners,
should be actively in favor of pensions.
They are their great relief from the money
monopolists. There can be no better
machinery for preventing money stagna-
ton and congestion than this Of quarterly
disbursements to the common people in
every town and village of the great sum
which the Government pays in satisfaction
of the just claims of the men who saved
its very existence.
| The Money Power controls the papers of
the metropolitan cities, and is using them
mercilessly against pensions. 1t is now
a fight to finish. If they can prevail
pensions will continue TO be cut down, and
the vast number of veterans and their
widows who go to their graves every year
defrauded of rights bought with their
dearest blood will be greatly augmented.
The question now is sharply presented as
to which is the stronger-the men who
own money, or the men who have made
and are making the Nation the greatest on
earth.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is on the
side Of the men who fought and saved the
Nation, and who have built up its farms,
its factories, and its varied industries. II
is not against the men who merely own
money, except when and where they are
antagonistic to the higher rights of those
to whom the country owes everything.

SOUTHERN UNION MEN.
The Injustice Of Refusing Pensions to Those Who Were
at First Forced Into the Rebel Army.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Will YOU
allow me space in your valuable paper
for few words in regard to the manner of
awarding pensions to eX-Union soldiers in
the South? Under the law of 1890, if a
man ever had any volunteer connection
with the Confederate army or in any way
showed any sympathy with the South, he
is debarred from receiving any pension, no
matter how long and yaliantly he may have
served his country after he had an oppor-
tunity of reaching the lines of the Union
army. Now, feel quite sure that the De-
partment never has fully understood the
condition of things in the South, and per-
hapS never will understand it so well as the
men who lived here at the outbreak of the
war, who fully realized how unsafe it was
for them to utter one word in favor OF the
Union, when the nearest Union forces We're
more than hundred miles away, and our
country full of rebel scouts, and man who
uttered word I'm favor of the Union or at
tempted to go to the Federal army, simply
took his life in his own hands, and many of
them who had the courage to try it. fell before
they reached the lines; consequently many

ciples of the Union as ever lived. on account
of their families and their homes, was COM
PEELED to keep quiet, and some times appear

even sometimes enlist in the Confederate
army until an opportunity would present
itself in which they could escape and have

THE statement that the Government will
have 10000 troops in the Philippines by
New Years Day is doing at last what
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been
urging for months. The best method in

who, like all imperfectly civilized peoples,
must actually see thing to comprehend
