The commissioner of pensions
who is in position to make a
pretty accurate estimate, thinks
that the pension bill introduced by
Senator Cullom, which provides
for the payment of pensions to any
person who served sixty days in the
war for the Union, would add about
$40. 900, 900 to the present amount
of annual disbursement for ten or
fifteen years to come. Under the
provisions Of the bill these soldiers
would annually receive about 81 TO-
each day of their service, and would
fare much better than many veter-
ans who were in the war from start
to finish, and who really endured
it's hardships.- States.

SENATOR cAEEERYS
SPEECH.

Senator Ca6ery made .charac-
:teristic speech in the United States
Senate last Monday. AS is we'll
known Senator Caffery rs opposed
to the expansion policy of the Re-
publican administration. On this,
az ON all other questions, the posi-
ton of Louisiana's senior senator is
courageous and unmistakable. He
as ou:spoken in his views which ne
expresses in Language that is free
from equivocation or ambiguity.
Mr.. Caffery argued that the consl-
tuition guaranteed certain rights and
privileges to all the citizens of this
country and that if the Fiiipinos are
citizens of this Republic they are
entitled to enjoy those rights and
privileges, but. exclaimed the sena-
tor, "the very moment we take the
Filipinos we have injected into our
system a poison that will inoculat-
our whole body polite" In few
words the senator has clearly stated
the case. He is one of those VINO
believe til at if the constitution means
anything it is that every American
citizen must be free and that no
people an be forcibly annexed to
this country. In answer to a ques-
ton of Senator Plat, of Connectl-
cut, Mr.. Caffery said, "Turn them
(the FiIipinos) loose as soon as we
can get rid of them. That would
be better for them and infinitely
better for u.s."
Senator Caffery has evidently not
been allured by the glittering prom
Uses of the imperialists. He still
believes in the Democracy of the
fathers who made the constitution
and founded this government for a
people who were able to govern
themselves. Had they Iesis'ated
for Filipinos instead of Americans
tie constitution would no doubt
have been different instrument.

THE KENTUCKY DEMO-
CR4 rs

The admirable behavior of the
Democrats has prevented civil war
in the State of Kentucky. The
Democratic leaders counseled peace
at all times during the controversy.
The gallant Goebel, whose death
was the result OF Taylor's outra-
geous methods, advised his friends
to keep within legal bounds and not
to commit acts of violence under
any circumstances. In striking
tive course of the Democratic man
ayers was the infamous usurpation
of Taylor aud his friends, who
cared not for the peace Of the
commonwealth. Their policy was
one Of ssrule or ruin" With the
aid of a partisan and servile mill
tary they vainly attempted to init
midate the legislative and judicial
branches of the State government.
They caused band of desperate
mOuntaineers to go to Frankfort,
the capital, to terrorize the good
people of that city and to assist
Taylor to override the constitution
of the State. Taylor and the other
Republican leaders may not have
participated In the cowardly assas-
sination of Gov. Goebel, but who
is stupid enough not to know that
the dastardly killing of the Demo
cratic leader was the Legitimate re
suit of the methods employed by
the Republicans to defy the constr
tutional authority of the State.
1t is to the everlasting credit of
the Kentucky Democrats that a
carnival Of blood was avcrted.
They relied on the law aud the
sohered verdict of the public con-
science for justice. They knew the
awful consequences which would
follow in the wake of civil strife.
They preferred to submit for time
to radical oppression SO that per-
manent peace and good order no ght
come to their State without the
shedding Of human blood.
The Democracy of Kentucky has
not only won the admiration Of
good people everywhere but it has
taught a wholesome lesson to those
who would disregard the law and
rule by violence.
