responsibility of the act-an act prepared
by some of the best jurists in the coun-

PENSIONS FOR Ex-pRIsoNEEs.

Senate Bill 50j5, which has also been
introduced into the House, reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas, many officers soldiers, sailors
and marines of the Federal Army and
Navy were confined in so-called Confeder-
ate prisons for n great length of time, suf-
fering unusual hardships and contracting
diseases and disabilities difficult to fully
prove under existing pension laws: There
fore, for the purpose of doing justice to
specially deserving class of surviving
veterans of the war,
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the
Secretary of the Interior be, and he Is
hereby, authorized and directed to place on

Government of the United States until the
close of the war of the rebellion, and while

the line of their duty were ut any time
taken prisoners of war and as such con-
fined in so-called Confederate prisons be
tween the 10Th day of May, 1S6l, and
the LIST day of May, 1865; and there shall
be paid to every officer, soldier sailor and
marine so placed on the pension roll, as
Il part of and be included in the first pay

each and every day between said dates he
was so confined in any such prison; and,
furthermore, and in addition. such surviy
ing prisoners of war shall each receive the
sum of SD for each month during the re-
mainder of his natural life: Provided,
That each pension shall i'll each case be

the same manner as other pensions are
now paid: Provided further. That this

more than one pension, but that such sur
viving prisoners of war as are entitled TO
and are receiving q pension at the time OF
the passage of this act shall Ice entitled
to the increase of their pension which this
act may grant them; and in no event shall
the fact that person is drawing ZEN

KANSAS politicians claim that woman
suffrage is entirely too expensive. Women
are always great on style, and when the
hustlers sent out carriages for some voters
every woman in the neighborhood demand
ed that carriage be sent for her, and
she wanted 1t fine one, too, especially if
she happened to be washerwoman or a
restaurant cook. Therefore, an attempt
is being made TO take away the franchise.
THE Kansas labor unions have struck
q new idea. They want the convicts used
to open up the salt mines around Hutch
inson, and work them in opposition to the
salt trust. 1t is claimed that the employ
ment OF convicts at making binding-twine
was great relief from the exactions of
the binding twine trust.

rebel dead at Arlington, and 12G at Sol
diers' Home in separate plot in Airing.
ton. Representatives of the Confederate
Southern Memorial Association visited
Secretary Root last week with reference
to the removal Of these remains south. II
is conceded that the appropriation cannot
be used for this purpose, and the Secre-
taTy is in doubt whether he can authorize
the removal at all.

THE American sailors and soldiers are
said to be doing great missionary WORK
among the Chinese-especially the women.
They are treating them decently, not bull
lying, robbing or abusing them, paying for
whatever they get, and generally acting
as if they thought the people had souls
and feelings. The women of all classes
are particularly fascinated by the "Meli
can men," who are the first to treat them
with the respect and consideration given
American women.

THoUGH born on English soil, King Ed
ward VII. is about as full-blooded a Ger
man as the Kaiser's dominions could fur
nish. or course, his father, Albert of
axe-Coburg-Gotta was as German as
they make them, with an ancestral strain
unmixed with foreign blood His mother,
the late Queen, was the daughter of a
German mother. On her fathers side not
drop of real English blood had come in
to qualify the exclusive Germanism of
the strain for 100 years.

THE usual misinformation of editors on
war matters is shown by some editorial
charges against Gen. Shafter that he be-
came so scared at Santiago that he climbed
a tree. 1t is as incredible that Gen. Shat
ter became so ratified that he climbed
a tree. He is not built that way, for
either performance. If he climbed tree
it would be by the aid of Il ladder, with
short, easy steps, and not many of them
at time. After n man has gone through
four years at the front, during the rebel
lion, and 26 years more OF pretty constant
Indian fighting, regularly winning praise,
brevets, etc, for special gallantry, it is
pretty late in the day to talk about rat
ting him by a Dago skirmish line. 1t
was Gen. Wheeler who climbed the tree
at Santiago, and the newspapers then
praised it as an act of bravery.

THERE is much discussion, and some OBJ
lection, as TO the men who are likely to
be appointed TO the Pension Court of APP
peals, but we are SO confident as to our
views of the proper Interpretation of the
pension laws that we would be willing to
trust their adjudication to any body of re-
spectacle lawyers, no matter what their
previous prejudices and prepossessions
might be. We would even expect Court
Of five ex-rebels of respectable legal at
tainments to be much fairer to the pen
sioners, when sitting judicially, than the
present or previous Commissioner has
been.

Col. L. NJ. Dayton, Sherman's Chief OF
Staff, and a bright, handsome, alert young
man, dressed in mounted officers jacket,
embellished with gold-lace shoulder-knots,

TAKING into account the increasing age
and infrmities of the rebel soldiers, the
Southern States are generally increasing
their pension allowances, and Louisiana
has gone TO the length of adopting a Con-
stitUtional amendment providing for in
creased annual appropriation. On the con-
trary, the United States acts upon the
theory that the veterans are growing
younger and less needy, and last year
Henry Clay Evans returned S5,137, 600 Of
the pension appropriation that he could
not make use of; though he has several
hundred thousand claims gathering dust
in his files.

KING EpwAED VII. would not take his
first manic, because it was too German,
and he's too much German, already. The
EmperorsG Kings. Margraves, Dukes, etc,
etc, the only, one in English history be-
ing his m6thct's German husband. On the
other hand, Edward is an ancient Anglo
Saxon name, meaning guardian Of prop
erty, and has been borne by 10 Kings Of
England, with more or less credit. The
first-Ed%ard, the Elder, son of Alfred
the Great, died in 925. The seconded
ward the, Martyr-was murdered in 97S.
The third-Edward the Confessor-is ira
ditionally the founder of England's Hber-
ties, and for centuries the struggle was
for the laws and customs of good King
Edward" He died II 1866, and was the
last of the Saxon Kings. The next of the
name-Edward l., of the Norman line
in 1274-and reigned 33 years. Edward
III. was murdered in 1897, after reign
of 20 years. Edward III. reigned 80
years, during which England made some
very brilliant history. Edward ~. was
one of the Kings during the stormy period
Of the Wars of the Roses. Edward V.
was promptly murdered by his uncle,
Richard III. Edward vi. was the sickly
son of Henry Will, by Jane Seymour, and
died in 1858, at the age of 16, after a
reign of six years. So there has been a
gap of 343 years since the last King Ed
ward.

THE Legislature Of Tennessee is con-
sidcring n resolution to remove from the
walls Of the State House the portraits
OF Gen. Thomas and Gov. Brownlow and
substitute for them those of JEFF Davis
and Lee. These are the only two por-
traits Of men loyal during the rebellion
that appear on the walls. This is the
rebel way. They want to crowd the me-
MORALS of rebels onto the North, but will
push out, whenever they can, any rcmem-
brances OF men who were true to their
country.

For the year ended June 80, 1900, tbs
Commissioner of Pensions turned back
into the Treasury S5,137, 900. which he
had saved from the appropriation. This
amount, if expended according to the in
tention of Congress, which gave him the
money, would have practically cleared up
the docket, as it would have given moro
than $4,000 claimants pensions at IS a
month. 1t would have put $4,000 widows
on a roll at So month. The Commits
sioner preferred little advertisement as
an economist, and little praise from the
selfish and ungrateful Money Power, to the
satisfaction Of duty well performed, and
granting long-delayed justice to this VAST
number of aged and needy men and
women.

OWING to the impetus TO the business
given by the rebellion, and which has been
continued by the railroads and the troll
ley cars, Americans now make the finest

TIE general consensus of foreign opin-
ion as to the American soldier in China
is that he is the cleanest, the most hon
est, the most tractable and intelligent, and
the nerviest fighter there. He is not so
good at saluting, and standing stiffly at
attention, as the other fellows, and there
is a great deal of familiarity between him
and his officers, but he is soldier all the
way through, and will go anywhere, and
fight anything that he encounters, with n
dash and n know-how that calls forth the
admiration of everybody. There was no
real scouting around Picking until n bat
TALON of the 9th u. s. mounted them
selves on little Tartar ponies and went
out and learned heap more about the
country and the enemy than the English
and Russian cavalry had been able to dis
cover in long time. There is the same
difference between the American sailors
and those of other Nations congrcgated
in Chinese ports. The other sailors are
perpetually driven and cursed. They do
little about the ship that they are not ac-
tually compelled to, and their greatest aim
is to cvade work. The American sailor
takes a pride in his duties, and such
thing as a shirk is not tolerated on board.
