1t remains for congress TO show
it's resentment of this fragrant
usurpation of its power. Put in
the meantime it is the duty of
every American citizen who under
stands that this is a government
of law, to form his opinion of an
administration which lawlessly
makes present of the public
money to the extent of many
millions a year, for the purpose
of strengthening itself among the
beneilciaries of this gratuity in
campaign year." If every citizen
who feels the Insult and the wrong
prepares to give effect to his
resen tment by his vote, the
authors of this tiagitiOus scheme
will make nothing by their motion.
1t is all very well for the authors
of this precious performance to
pretend to ordain that the measure
"shall not be retroactive" That
is not for them TO say. If, as they
hold. the age of sixty two consti.
tutes of itself a pensionable dis
ability. then the veteran who ar
rived at the age five or ten or
twenty years ago at that time be-
came entitled to a pension for 1t,
and is now entitled to a pension
for it with arrears dating back to
his arrival at the proclaimed age.
1t is incOnceivable that the com
missioner, the secretary, or the
president can be innocent enough
to suppose that he can head off
the horde of hungry agents who
will descend with these claims for
arrears, claims which are every
whit as Just as those which are
officially acknowledged, by so
simple a device as that.
1t is to be borne in mind that
congress has not only omitted to
enact, but has distinctly refused
to enact, the service pension law
which these officials assume to
enact by executive proclamation.
President Clpveland's message
vetoing service pension act,
though that act was guarded land
conservative compared with this
wild performance, was so cOgent
that it put a quietus upon that
project for seventeen years. The
question whether the author of
that message is or is not a filter
man for president than the man
who attempts to do by indirecton
what could not be done directly
is brought sharply up by this
amazing proclamation, How can
an executive action which com.
bines, as this does, demagOgy
triCkery and usurpation, be, polltl'
cally, anything but a boomerang

From the Pine Bluf Commercial
OF course, there has always
been more or less disseusiOn, Oc-
caSionally, cropping out with both
of the great parties in the United
States, but the Democratic party
has never been thoroughly united
since the presidential election in
1856, when James Buchanan
reached the White House. He
was of Pennsylvania and in those
days the Keystone state was
thoroughly Democratic, so much
so that at national conventions
other delegates waited GREATNESS
" and anxiously to see how that
state would vote and after its vote
the fam lar words las goes
Pennsylvania so goes the union"
was a prophetic axiom. But we
started out to speak Of the con.
dilious that exist just now in the
Democratic party. There is Wat
erson, of the Courier.JOurnal, for
example, who cordially hates both
! Bryan aud Cleveland and yet, re-
fuses TO support Hearst "hecause
he il unknown in the club and
social life of the country, and his
associates are employees" Is 1t a
political crime, then, for an Amerl-
can TO spend his time with the
men in his service and to regard
them as his equals VIM. X.
Hearst is not "A cIub man, and he
cares but little for what is known
as "society.r He neither drinks,
smokes nor CANDLES, and, OF
course, Col. WattcrsOn has never
had the pleasure of meeting him
al the fashionable clubs. A man
who is the owner Of nine news
papers, who Is a member OF con-
gress. who maintains several I'M
ostentiOus charities and who keeps
in touch with the world and the
men who manage the affairs of the
world, has no time to trltter away.
WIN. X. Hearst has more than s.
600 names on his pay roll. He pays
the best wages, and is the most
generous employer in the news
paper world. His employees, fro IN
the lowest to that magnificent
genius, Mr.. Arthur Brisbane, are
deeply attached to Mr.. Hearst.
This much can be said of him, and
this much should be sad Of him
by the unfettered sons of the
Fourth Estate, be they Democrats
or Republicans, favorable or nm
| favorable to his canvass, WIN, IL
Hearst smash, d the Publishers
| Trust, he made it possible for the
newspaper writer's OF New YORK
| Chicago, Boston, San Francisco
aud Los Angeles to make living
wages, and he is for the under dog
He is a millionaire, muIti-milIlon
aire, if you will, but he is ever for
the weak against the powerful
ever for the oppressed against the
opprcssor, whether it be IN Russia
| South Africa. Finland, Poland
Ireland or the United States.
Col. Watterson says: "Hearst'
father was a rough diamond. anc
his mother is the salt Of the earth"
just so. And thus sou of a rougt
diamond and the salt OF the earth
has made more history and NOR,
money in ten years, and given more
away, than all his newspape
critics punched together.

The Nomination Of j. NJ. Hill sure.

The work of the state cOnven.
ton has been simplifed by the
development that Joseph NJ. Hill
of Sebastian county has more than
enough delegates to nominate him
on the first ballot He is credited
with counties having 2i7 votes in
the convention, The number re.
CURED IA 222. AT first, after the
primaries, it appeared that the
nomination would have to be con.
tested for in the state convention
by the four candidates, but the
fact that the official count shows
that Hill has carried Logan, Yell,
Hampstead, Drew, Marion and
Fulton counties settled the matter
in his favor. Mr.. Hill will succeed

Cheng has been officially received by

diplomat. who is the first Chinese min

direct trade with China in the sixteenth
century, but this is the first time any
Chinese minister has been accredited
to this government. The reception was
a brilliant spectacle. Minister Cheng
wore all of his foreign decorations and
was richly attired in silks. Speeches
expressing the friendly relations exist

exchanged by President Diaz and the

st. Petersburg, July IA special
dispatch recei, ed from Mukien to-
night, dated July 18th. repeats the
story of a japanese repuise at Port
Arthur, with The loss of 10000 The
dispatch says:
News has been received from re-
liable sources that the Japanese third
army on the night of July 11th, at
tackled Port Arthur and was heavily
defeated. an immense number being
killed by Russian mines. The total
loss is about 10000"
There was great interest through
out St. Petersburg all this evening for
further details of the reported disas-
ter. 1t has developed that the official
report, which was at first supposed to
emanate directly from Viceroy Alex
Jeff, was not specifically fathered by
him. but was given out as a report
reaching his headquarters from jap
anese sources" What these sources
are has not yet been explained. Pos
sibly the report was intercepted by
wireless telegraphy, but it is mors
likely that it came from the Russian
consul at Che Foo. or the Russian con-
sui at Tien Tsin.
