The Cruel Treatment Of Hor,c.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have beer, reading with much interest
the different articles which have appeared
In The Star latelysin regard to the cruel
beating of horses. TT is suggested that much
of this could be. prevented by reporting
cases to the Humane Society. When such
thing Is possible no doubt the. result is
very satisfactory, but except in the case of
horses attached to carts or wagons bearing
the names of the owners / fail to see how
such a course is practicable. What pro-
lection does 1t afford, for instance. to the
equine pariahs who draw the nameless coal
carts, gravel carts. ash wagons, ETC.? The
drivers are, generally speaking, from the
lowest and most brutal class Of negroes
Observers Of their cruelty are absolutely
without means of identification. Personal
remonstrance calls for the curses and In
science, besides additional blows for the
wretched animal. Such a condition of af-
fairs is deplorable in the extreme, but IL
there a remedy? And If so-what? WHIP.

PENSION LEGISLATION
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Senator GalIineers Bill Taken AS a
Basis-Proposed Court of
Appeals.

The most important piece of general pen
sion legislation before Congress, that re-
wishing the pension act of June 27, 1890, and
other general pension laws, was passed
upon in tentative manner Yesterday by
the House committee on invalid pensions,
and the sense of the committee taken on
reporting the bill 10 the House and placing
ii on the House calendar for early con-
sideration. The revision has been advo-
Gated by delegations of the chief officials of
the G. A. r., and Pension Commissioner
Evans has been heard at length on the sub
ject.
The committee decided to take the bill Of
Senator Gallinger as a basis of action, and
to make several amendments The details
of the changes are not made public for the
present, but 1t is understood that the most
important of these increases the age limit
on which pensions are to be allowed and
fixes sliding scale between the ages Of
siXty-tWo and seventy, viz: Six dollars at
stXty-two years, IS at sixty-1ve, $40 at
sixty-eight and S12 at seventy. Another
important amendment increases from 500
10 $3.50 the amount Of annual income which
widow may have without forfeiting the
right to a pension. AS amended, the bill IS
to be reported. but Chairman Sulloway> Is
given considerable latitude in the matter in
order that an opportune time may be

Proposed Court of Appeals.
The committee of the Grand Army of the
Republic. consisting of Commander-in-Chief
A. d. Shaw and Gen. Daniel SicEles, which
is endeavoring to secure legislation looking
to the creation Of court of pension ap-
peals, has submitted the proposed measure
to some of the most eminent jurists of the
country, and it has been indorsed by them.
The committee also has conferred with the
President on the subject
The legal authorities and others who
have examined the bill said Gen. Shaw,
ARE of the opinion that the measure, if it
becomes law, will justify itself by securing
dtsinterested and prompt adjudication of
pensions. The proposed court would be
composed Of men of learning and dignity,
and would not. like the present board of
pension appeals. be appointed by those per-
sons from whose rulings appeals are taken
The proposed court would soon be able to
simplify the matters of appeal by codifying
Its decisions. and could make recommenda-
lions to Congress to further legislation,

Show Yourself a Man.
Taken from the Milan Herald.

Taken from the Milan Herald.
Popular opinion is very tickle and very
often wrong. To be on the popular side
is no evidence of being on the right side.
The fact is, right and truth are often not
very popular, and at times have to wade
through bloody seas to the surface and
to victory. There is a great deal of
blind leading in our country and a vastly
more blind following. "Where the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into
the ditch" The world is full of men
who either have not brains or are too in
dolent to investigate for themselves, and
who are content to be found in the party
lines or on the popular side. They are
not troubled much with questions
OF right or wrong either in politics or
in religion. And this is also true of
a great many newspapers Of the land
1
papers which ought to be reformers and
bold leaders and conservators of a whole
some popular sentiment, but which in
stead thereof, are towed along by them.
Instead of being in advance, or even
abreast Of popular opinion, they are fol-
lowing in the rear. All this blind and
selfish following must be unmanlv.
"Show yourself man" by thinking for
yourself. Study and read up both sides
of every important question. Weigh iru-
partially and independently "the pros
and cons" p" then show yourself man BY
standing up nobly for the right and by
eschewing the wrong. The whoop and
cry of the political demagogue convinces
not thinking men. OF the many politi.
cal parties bidding for your suffrage
they each contain a strand of truth; but
party platforms go for but little unless
the men who form them, the candidates
who stand on them, and the strong fol.
lowing, men of conviction who think
more of the greatest good to the greatest
number than they do of place or prefer.
ment, be in the ascendancy. Be not one
Of the number without principle; but see
to it that your little ballot expresses the
real sentiment Of a man, and one who
thinks for himself and dares to vote his
principles, though he votes alone.
"Show yourself man" by rejecting
the wrong and emulating the virtues Of
the great and good. Dare to be right,
dare to be true"
