THE Senate may be said to have gotten
even with the President in fine shape
for having convened that body in extra
session to ratify the Cuban Treaty, which
was one of his particular pets. They rati-
fed it all right, but ;r such n shape as to
make it necessary for it to go back to the
House for final action. OF course, this
bars the President from putting into
practice the provisions which he particu-
larry desired to have take effect at once
1t is now said that an extra session of the
House will be called to finish up the work
of the Senate on the Cuban business. The
President is quoted as saying that he will
issue the call for some time in October.
Again has the Senate exemplified the fact
that when it does not want to do a thing.
it isn't going TO do it. 1t has been leery
of the Cuban reciprocity bill from its in
ception, and it didn't propose to be made
accountable for it. When the House gets
through with it, its best friends will prob
ably be unable TO recognize it.

A Noble Veteran Gone.

Gen. James Winning Mcmillan was
mustered out last week. and when he
went, the life of good man and brave
soldier ended.
Gen. Mcmillan was veteran Of two
wars. He served with distinction in the
Mexican war, going in as Sergeant Of the
4th Ill, and reentering as a member of
the I'd La. Battalion, receiving an hon.
orable discharge in 1913. At the out
break of the war of the rebellion he was
commissioned Colonel of the list Ind Art.
and for meritorious and gallant conduct
was promoted to be Brigadier General
of Volunteers.
For his services at the battle of Cedar
Creek. upon recommendation of Gen.
Sheridan, the rank Of brevet Major Cen
eral was conferred upon Sen. Mcmillan.
AS mark of respect to the dead sol
dier the War Department ordered all the
United States troops stationed in this
vicinity to participate in the funeral cere-
monies. The funeral escort consisted of
squadron of the I'd y. S. Cav. and the
4th Battery Of Field Artillery, from Fort
Myer, and the Sd Battalion of Engineers
from Washington Barracks.
There Were many beautiful floral trib-
utes about the casket At the head rest

A large wreath Of roses, bearing a
broken infantry sword on the side. rested
from the coffin. This tribute was tbe
gift Of the Board Of Review of the Pen
sion Office. A large bouquet of lilies OF
the valley from Senator and Mrs. Nelson
and many other tributes were among the
noral offerings. Interment was in Ar

CULTIVATE pusL1c SENTIMENT.

| There is plenty of work to be done b!
tween now and the next meeting Of Con
gress in the. way of pushing the So s
Month Service Pension. We must make
sure of its passage by that Congress. fol
time is now infinitely precious to the vet
Grams and their widows, and every weel
of delay sees full thousand of them mus
tered ont of life's army. and beyond the
reach of the Nations gratitude and the
Nations sense of Justice.
1t is all-important that every means
favor of the speedy passage of the meas
ure. and to convince members of Con-
gress of the desire of their constituents
for this. Every veteran should enlist
in this work. and do his utmost. The
newspapers in every community should
be supplied with abundant reasons drawn
from examples in the neighborhood. why
the circumlocuticn in the Pension Bureau
should he abolished. the expensive 81 ]
asgravating Boards of Examining Sur
geons be discontinued, and the corps of
Special Examiners set at some other
work. by the simple plan of giving every
veteran and every veterans widow a mod
est allowance as Il matter of justice and
right. \ straight pension of SO month.
or So week, will strike every one as fair
and reasonable. and require no argument
to induce him to favor it. Every paper in
the North. East and West ought to ac-
lively favor the measure. and doubtless
can be brought to do so by little effort
properly directed. All the editors require
is to be rightly approached by veterans in
whom they have confidence. and be as
sured that the Service Pension is earnest
~ desired by the veterans as body. Let
every group of veterans see that this is
done by the right kind of comrades. They
sent to their editors. Their own neigh
borhoods will furnish plenty of instances
of the most convincing kind.
The next thing is TO get expressions
of approval and Endorsement from all the
political conventions that may be held.
'otaIi lHe Dali TOIllHS III your TOWNSHIP
and County Conventions, and keep it up
to the National Conventions. The con-
rentions will all declare in favor of a
general service pension if the veterans
will only exert themselves to make it
appear that this is their wish, and they
expect it. Then go to work upon the
Representatives and Senators. If every
comrade will take n personal interest in
this matter of vital Importance to all vet
Grams and veterans widows, there viii be
no doubt of success in the coming Con-
gress. There will be such a pressure of
sentiment in favor of the measure that
Congress cannot resist it,
Let everybody resolve to do something
at once. somewhere, where it will be effec-
tive. and keep it up until victory is Sc
cured.

Ex-Representative VIM. Z. Simons. of
Connecticut, died at his home in Hartford.
March IA. He served in the 18th Conn.

People are generally surprised to learn
that Gen. w. w. Grout, for MANY wears
Representative from Vermont, died a
bankrupt, and that his estate will NOT
pay more than 40 cents on the dollar,
He was at one time very successful in
speculation, and amassed a fortune est.

later years went into all sorts of wild

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS.

| The Act of Congress approved Marcel
.. 1903. provides an even increase of SIC
per month in each case of soldiers and sail
ors pensiOncd under the general law on
account of the loss of hands, arms. feet
and legs, as well as disabilities in the ex.
tremites which result in condition equiv
| alent TO the loss Of these members of the
body.
In addition. the army and navy invalid
pensioners under the general law who have
lost arms or legs ut the shoulder or hip
joints. or so near the joints as to pre-
vent the use of an artificial limb, will
also receive an increase of $40 per month
under this law.
The cases above described will be settled
without applications from the pensioners
for the increase. The Bureau of Pen
sions is now taking the necessary steps
to obtain from the several agents for the
payment of pensions, the names, certificate
numbers, and post-oflice addresses of all
those hereinbefore referred to who will be
affected by this legislation: hence it will
be unnecessary for the pensioners to make
applications for the increase to the Com
missioner of Pensions.
The Act has new feature, however.
which allows $55 per month to those who
have lost an arm Or n leg as result of
injury. wound or disease contracted in
the service and line of duty, and the re-
naming portion of the extremity is in
such a condition as to prevent the use of
an artificial limb. In this class Gt being
new legislation the pensioners will have
to make application for an increase-which
will be promptly considered, and if al
lowed be subject to the provisions Of
Sec 1893 10, which provides that:
Except in cases of permanent specific
disabilities. no increase of pension shall
he allowed to commence prior to the date
of the Examining Surgeons certificate
establishing the same. made under the
pending claim for increase. and in this as
well as all other eases the certificate of
an Examining Surgeon. or of Board of
Examining Surgeons. shall be subject to
the approval of the Commissioner of Pen
sions."

OPPOSES THE LEE STATUE.

Unexpected opposition to the Lee statue
in the National Capitol comes from Hon.
A. ]. Montague, Governor of Virginia,
who refused 20 sign the bill, and it has
become law without his signature. He
says:
First of all, were Gen. Lee living. so
that his wishes could be consulted. he
would be more opposed to such a thing
than anyone else. Gen. Lee did not need
any such memorial and it ought not to
be forced against any such considerable
opposition as has developed. No man ad-
mires Gen. Lee more than /, but i re-.
gard this effort to honor him as 'unneces-
sary, unwise, and inexpedient.'"

Enough grain and hay has been ruin

farmers never let any hay or grain take

seen at the opera house on Thursday,
Oct. 1. This truly great piece Of stage
property has outlived many that have
been out and is now resting on the shelf
for many years, being it's fourteenth
successive successful season and if the
applause and enthusiasm it has received
so far this season is any criterion to go
by, the play will be seen for many years
to come. There is hardly drama on
the road today that has traversed the
miles and miles of this country with
unparalleled success as this old veteran
of the melodrama which was the first to
introduce the stage effects, modern
devices and stage realism that is so
much used today. In fact, this piece
has the reputation among all theatrical
people as being the leader and the first
to produce the realistic and truthful
ortrayal of life on the stage. In fact,

ahead of it's time and although many
