AmrII1os OF PENSIONERS

THE DAYTON, OHIO, DAILY PRESS is
one of the papers which has proper ap-
preciation of the services rendered to this
country by the men who saved the Ma
tion's life. In & recent issue it has this
vigorous editorial on the pension question:
Yes, there are a million pensioners
on the list" That is, there are million
survivors Of the civil war who, by their
heroic endurance and patriotism earned all
that their country can pay them in the
way of bodily comforts and wholesome
nourishmeat. They earned more. You
cannot set a price on patriotism in war;
for that patriotism may mean the price of
the lives or the happiness Of those who
have inundated themselves on the altar
of their country. ALI the comforts and
the peace we now enjoy were purchased
by the heroes of the civil war, at the sac
rifice Of their best years and their dear
est hopes. The wretch and migrate who
would deny these veterans the partial pay
ment Of that debt deserves nothing but
contempt. Accused be the nation that
grudgingiy repays what it owes to its pre-
servers. Nothing is too good for the vet
Grams OF the ciyi! war. The best we can
do for them-in our l;mitless bounty-is

GEN. snERnArs GREAT novEnEHr.

Gen. Raum's installment this week is
Of vivid interest in its description Of one
Of the greatest strategic feats, not merely
of Gen. Sherman's career, but in the his
tory Of war. There was never any
thing finer than the way in which Gen.
Sherman removed his great army from in
front Of Atlanta, and under the eyes of
the watchful enemy, around far south of
the city. to strike and destroy Hoods last
line Of communication and compel the
evacuation of Atlanta. The corps were
moved with the precision Of pieces on a
chess board, being all the time in q po-
sition OF mutual support, should Gen.
Hood discover the intent Of the move
ment and attempt to stop it by crushing
some detached force. AS feat in logis-
tics it was perfect, and deserved the bril-
liant success which it achieved Gen.
Raum describes the operation admirably.

wife's Sunday letters. They were all Of
the same strain, and to any but youne
husband would have seemed quite monot-

pressed Annabers tender heart. She
wanted it stopped some way or some how
with victory for the Union, and her young
husband allowed to come home, so that
they could begin the life together for
which her loving heart yearned. Sis folks
were very kind to her, and she was daily
feeling more and more like daughter of
the household. but still she was weary
with longing for her husband. The

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND THE PENSION LIS,

The st. Louis Republic, which never
has anything good 10 say of the veteran,
has this editorial paragraph:
"a pensioner, having been converted to
christian Science, now renounces his pen
sion on the ground that his alleged rheu-
matism and alleged stomach trouble prove
to be nothing but imaginary infirmities.
The honest gentleman says that his pen
sion never should have been obtained but
for the mortal error beclouding his min6
and imparting itself to his examining ply
sician's mind. This case suggests posi-.
bliities woncerful to contemplate. Mrs
Eddy might concentrate attention on the
pension list and save the Government A
hundred and fifty millions a year. Bu
the old boys Of war time won't last long
and the country is not asking for Mrs
Eddys services in that behalf"
If 1t is within the resources of Mrs
Eddy's art to viii away the unden:abIe
facts of old age and years of hard service
In the malarious swamps of the Missis
sippi, on the bleak nights OF the Cumber.
lands, and In the fathomless mud of yir.
ginia, and to make the veterans as good
as they opce were. her services will DC
gladly welcomed. and the veterans only
too willing to surrender their pensions
But, alas! for to the men who fought for
the Union, there Is NO balm In Gilead, and
no physician that can heal. They must
go on suffering until they cross the river,
where the majority OF their comrades are
already mustered.

SOME years ago we had the Russian
thistle as an issue in Congress, with quite
number of Northwestern Senators and
Representatives insisting that unless Con
gress undertook the work of extirpating
the pest, that millions Of acres of fine
wheat land would become a desert, and
the farmers be driven from their homes
One bill containing an appropriation of
S2,000,000 came very near passing. Pres
emily We learned, probably largely through
the efforts OF our good Comrade Coburn,
of the Agricultural Board of Kansas, that
the Russian thistle was q good forage
plant, and all complaint of 1t vanished like
fog on bright morning. A similar agita-
ton has been started in the Southwest
against johnson grass. 1t is claimed that
the grass was brought from the North
into louisiana by the railroads. In the
North it is killed off annually by the frost,
but in the South it is flourishiny to such
an extent that it threatens the existence
of the cane and cotton ields. A year or
two ago, Mr.. Polk, a member of the
Louisiana Legislature, introduced bill
requiring the railroads to keep their right
Of way moved like lawn, thus prevent
ing the grass from going to seed and
spreading to the adjoining plantations.
The bill would have passed but for the
bitter opposition of the railroads. who re-
ported that it would require them to keep
thousands Of lawn-mowers at work, at an
Iintolerable expense. The effort made Mr..
Polk very popular among the farmers and
planters, and he is going to appeal to
Congress to do what he could not get his
own Legislature to do.

1T is worth more than passing comment
