were the Portland Oregonian. the Los

papers, he said, were all owned by rich
men. with interests to protect. AS a
result, the public was lost sight of.
He highly recommended Honolulu as

came in occasionally, and handed him

WANT MONEY BACK.
Men Who Paid to Be Exempted From
Draft Make Inquiry.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Many in
quiries are received at the pension bu-
reau from all parts of the country
asking if a law has been enacted re-
iuabursing those who paid money to be
exempted from the draft in 186S-64,
but the pension officials point out that
there has been no legislation to war
rant the reports which led to the IN
duiries. Deputy Commissioner of
Pensions Davenport today said:
1.-THE pension bureau has no knoWl-
edge of. a proposed law of this kind
and it is a little strange that any one
to the relief of these stay at homes.
In 1868 it became necessary / some
states to resort to draft to town
quotas It seems that at that time
any one could purchase exemption for
a fixed price. In many towns that
price was $500. It was simply a bar
ter and trade arrangement between
the men liable to be drafted and the
town. The man purchased exemption
upon paying his $500. This money
was used by the town to hire sub
stitute to serve in the place of the man
who purchased his right to stay al
home The question is, did the man
receive the full equivalent for his
money!" It seems that he did, as al
that time the regular price for sub
stittlte was something like $500. The
town was compelled to add $500 to the
$500 It had received from the exempt
/ ed man to purchase his substitute.
SON nobody must be laboring under
the impression that these drafted men
should be reimbursed for this $500
It does not look that way to an out
/ slider"

at that hour we were in bed.
The young man was disposed to
sleep late this morning, so we went
to breakfast without him; we trav-
elers around the world didn't propose
to wait for a plug reporter. When
we came back at 10 o'clock, having
taken a little sightseeing trip, he
was still sound asleep. If could
sleep like that, would gladly give
up the trip around the world.
