A neutrality-suspicious. development
appears in the papers Of Dayton, O.
The Government of the National SOL
taking carea Of the money and estates
\ of the inmates, and has Accumulated
a large amount of property, mostly
money. which is In amounts from $3.50
to $4,000. No heirs could be found to
these deceased veterans, and the Home
authorities have claimed that the
money belonged to the Government.
The Commissioners Of Montgomery
County have held. on the contrary, that
the money belonged to the School Fund
Of the County, and about three years
ago entered into contract with a firm
Of lawyers to put test case through
the United States Circuit Court. The
Court decided that the money belonged
to the County, and Mr.. Frank w. How
ell. an attorney, has been designated
as the administrator OF SO estates of
36 estates aggregate about 100000,
and the Dayton papers say that Mr..
Howell has got very fat thing. After
he allows himself liberal fee and
such heirs as may be found are salts
fed, the remainder will go to the Coun-
ty School Fund. Just how much that
worthy fund will be enriched is
highly interesting question There is
dark-colored suggestion arising from
this that If the claims of these men
had been promptly allowed they would
have had enough to keep them from
going to the Soldiers Home, and the
estates left by the dead men would not
have been 50 great. 1t seems hard that
after men have served their country
and been broken down that the money
which should have been paid them
should now be the prey Of sharp at
torneys.

paper sketch of the 37th Iowa.

The 37th Iowa. also called the Gray
beard Regiment, was organized at Mus

too old for service in the field George
w. Kincaid was Colonel. The regiment
did excellent service as guards, and lost
two killed in battle and 149 died from

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. re-
mains hard-hearted on the matter of
requiring a deposit of $40 upon each
mileage book issued. In this way the
road is getting several million dollars
a year of loans without interest. which
vania Legislature will, however, make
sufficient reply to this by following
the example of the Ohio Legislature
and imposing a two-cent-a-mile rate
on all the roads within the State This
ought to be done on general princi-
pies, as two cents a mile Is quite suff1-
cient to charge anywhere in Pennsyl-
vania, and if it is done mileage books
will become a superfiuity.

Senator Beveridge met a decisiy,

Senator Beveridge met a decisive de-
feat in the Senate on Friday in at
tempting to pass his Statehood bill
precisely as it came from the House.
First. the Foraker amendment. which
separated Arizona and New Mexico.
was adopted by a decisive majority.
and then an amendment sprung upon
the Senate by Senator Burrows, of
Michigan, to strike the names OF Ari-
IONA and New Mexico from the bill was
also adopted. The Foraker amendment
was adopted by a vote of AZ TO 90. as
follows:
Yeas-Alger. Bacon. Blackburn,
Bulkeley. Burrows. Carter. Clark
(Montana). Clarke (Wyoming). Clay.
Culberson. Daniel. Dryden, Dubois.

The Burrows amendment had a mar
row escape. The first announcement
of the vote made tie. 35 to 35. and
1t looked as il Vice President Fair
banks would be called upon to give
the deciding vote which he was very
loath to do in view OF his Presidential
aspirations. Other Senators came in
in time to relieve him of his embar-
rassment and the amendment was
adopted by a vote Of 81 to 35. as fol-
lows:

SIS.
Senator Beverage made a gallant
fight for the, bill, but his failure was
foredOomed. The Statehood bill, as
amended, was then adopted, which will
admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as one State. 1t now returns to the
House for concurrence. AS to it's fate
there opinions differ, but it seems more
than likely that the House will agree
with the action of the Senate, and Ari-
IONA and New Mexico be continued in
definitely as Territories. The defeat
Of the clause relating to those Terri
tories was received In Arizona with
great rejoicings.

It would be probably entirely too
much to expect Alabama to make her
representatives In the Statuary Hall
men who had rendered great services
to the Nation. While Alabama has
had, and still has. many able men in
Congress-. she has never had anyone
who acquired National fame either as
a statesman. lawyer, an inventor or
in any other department Of effort. A
bill will soon be introduced asking
Congress to accept as the first con-
tribution by Alabama to Statuary Hall
statue Of the late DR.. ]. L. NJ Curry
The Alabama Legislature authorized
the making Of this statue, and 1t Is
almost ready. DR.. Curry was both q
soldier and scholar. He served in
the Mexican War as a Texas Ranger;
became prominent in Alabama poll
tics: was sent to Congress as an out
and-out States Rights man and an ad-
vocate Of secession. and during the war
was q Lieutenant-C Colonel on tho STAFF
Of Gen. Joe Wheeler. Therefore the
statue will be the first of Confeder-
ate soldier to be placed In the Capitol.
After the war DIR. Curry became a
Baptist preacher; was President of
Howard College: a professor in the
College at Richmond. and appointed
by President Cleveland Minister to
Spain in 1886. He died Feb. IL, 1898.

Postmaster Z. II. Baker, Of Louis
Vile, KY. shows a fine sense of humor
One of the hot gospelers, who is a
great deal more anxious about other
mems souls than his own. wrote to him
from Rutland, VT, saying that he was
of Louisville, and felt the necessity of
exerting himself to save that city from
the fate Of Sodam and Gomorrah,
and his letter ended: send me list
Of the unsaved men and women of
Louisville. 1t was a delicate job to
give a Postmaster to single out the
goats from the sheep in as great a city,
and the work would have required
many sleepless nights and much fine
analysis of the different grades of I'M
regeneracy He finally solved 1t by
sending the missionary the City Direc-
tory. containing 100000 names. and
saying that according to strict ortho-
doxy every one OF these was more or
less of a sinner and would be benefited
by proper teachings. Now it is up to
the missionary to select those who are
in most imminent danger of damna-
ton, save them from the flames. and
so work his way up through the ranks
Of society until he comes to those whose
deepest sins are those of beating the
tax-collector and pride of heart and
uncharitableness.

We are learning whole lot about
the things we eat in the course of the
discussion of the Pure Food bill. The
New England fishermen, devoted to the
sacred Goldfish have succeeded in
having their special product excepted
from the operation of the provision
preventing the use of borax as a pre-
serving agent. The Committee has re-
ported that saltpeter and borax should
not be used in preserving ham, bacon
Or any other kind Of meat, but it may
be used for the preservation of cod
fish. The explanation Of this is that
Goldfish has to be washed before it can
be cooked, which removes large part
Of the borax. The Goldfish may be
washed, but the plea won't wash. If
the borax is a preservative it must
enter into the tissues Of the meat, and
therefore prevent them being easily
digestible in the human stomach.

Our friend, Cassie Chadwick, has
been mitigating the gloom Of her pris-
on life considerably lately by frequent
orders Of goodies" especially Of the
succulent and soul-satisfying pie. from
a Cleveland firm. The stony-hearted
Warden says. however. that she can
do this no longer. Things have not
been going Cassie's way for some time.
but to be cut OF from her pie is In
deed q blow. We sympathize with her
from the bottonest depths Of our deep
est nature.
The National tribune., 1906-03-15

A peculiarly-heartless provision has
been inserted in the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial appropriation bill. 1t
prohibits the payment to any clerk of
SIS or over Of more than 81 400 a year:
to clerk of So years old or more $1,000
year, nor to q clerk of 70 more than
$500 year After 1913 all Government
clerks reaching the age of 10 shall be
dismissed outright. This provision will
meet with a storm Of opposition when
it reaches the House. and it should be
stricken out by q vote SO decisive as to
be a rebuke to the advocates Of such
a policy. AS q limit upon an appro-
priation the paragraph cannot be at
tackled upon a point of order. but 1t
is thought that it can be assailed as
new legislation and stricken out. Chair
man Tawney is very earnest in support
Of the provision. which he holds is
necessary to efficient and economical
administration. The National Tribune
strongly differs from him, and believes
that an examination of any Department
will show the fallacy Of his conclusion.
While there are undoubtedly many
clerks who deteriorate rapidly with
age, there are others whose powers are
as undoubtedly ripened and improved
by long experience and familiarity with
the Government business. Very many
Of the most valuable clerks in all of
the Departments are near the age Of
70, Or past 1t. and yet their ripe ex-
perience and their complete familiarity
with every detail in their Offices are
almost invaluable. AS a matter Of
public policy the provision is open to
the gravest objection. Every employer,
private corporation or public under
stands fully the necessity, not to say
the justice, Of making such reward
for longtime and faithful service as
is involved in a provision for old age.
There Is no more reason for cutting
down the payment Of q clerk at IS
than there is for cutting down the
salary Of a Congressman or q Judge.
The thing Is indefensible In whatever
light 1t is viewed.
