ments hereinafter contained, the name

and claim to any other pension from
the United States after the date of fl
ing said application, and any pension
payment made subsequent to the filing
of such application shall be deducted
from the amount due such soldier on
the first payment or payments under
this act"

WidOxys' Pensions.

In a very well-written and extremely
pathetic letter Mrs. Jennie Arthur, OF
Auburn, Ind, makes an appeal for JUS
tice to the widows. Her husband served
three years, and came home broken
down so that the burden of the sup
port of the family was upon her as
well as his care until he died, in 1868
from diseases and disabilities contract
ed in the service. Some years after she
married again, but was soon widow.
She has now climbed the cold hill of
three-score years, and in her down
ward path she is without means or
friends

Did Not Obey Orders.

Comrade George w. Hamilton, Chi
|cago, ILL.,, referring to the Brownsville
affair, thinks the President should not
be censured for the part he played in
the matter. The colored troops had
sworn to obey orders, and disobeyed
them. They were not in the Army
simply to draw pay, put to obey orders
and maintain order. During the war
men We're liable to be shot for disobey-
ing orders. The colored troops got no

NJ. r. Denver, new member of the
House from the Sixth Ohio District,
succeeding Thomas Scroggy, has at
tracted much attention from the gal
leries since his advent at the Capitol.
Mr. Denver brushes his hair up from
his forehead in exactly the same way
Senator La Toilette does, and scores of
times so far this session Mr.. Denver has
been pointed out as the Senator from
Wisconsin. The resemblance goes even
further than the similarity in the mat
ter of head-dress, for Mr.. Denver has
also much the appearance of the Sem
ator, being only slightly taller.
But he has another claim to distinc-
ton which is far greater In the minds
of some people. He is the son of his
father. The generation fast leaving the
scene of active life remembers sturdy

The effort made in the last session
to inaugurate some economy in the
method of disbursing the funds appro-
priated by Congress for the payment
of pensions is to be repeated this ses-
sion, and those who advocate the aboli-
ton of the numerous pension agencies
thruout the country, and the payment
of pensions from one central office, hope
this proposed reduction in expenditures
will appeal to members of Congress.
In support of this proposed policy
Secretary of the Interior Garfield few
days ago sent to the Senate a statement
showing that 1t costs $3.50, 900 annually
to pay pensions By leaving the mat
ter to the Commissioner Of Pensions or

United States Senator Stephen B.
Mallory, who has had a stroke of par
alysis, from which he will never fully
recover, has announced that he will not
again be a candidate for the Senate.
His term expires in March, 1909. and
he feels that the state of his health will
not permit him to remain longer in
public life.

Here is exactly what Mr.. Justice
David Brewer said of the President and
the third term:
"If that We're the provision "a seven
year Presidential term, with ineligibili-
ty TO re-election), we should not now
have the spectacle of our strenuous
President playing hide and seek with
the office"
Justice Brewer does not deny that he
said it, and he says he can't for the life
of him see why people should take his
saying il so much TO heart.

Can it be that Representative Will
1iams is growing absent-minded or Just
plain careless? The granting of COM
plete independence 10 the people of the
Philippine Islands by the United States
some time during the next 10 years
was provided in a resolution introduced
in the House, by nobody knows who.
Because nc member of the House at
tached his name to the bill it was sent
to the House ''morSue." A little later,
however, Mr. Williams discovered that
the maverick bill was likely to fall by
ahe wayside, and acknowledged its par
entage by signing it, a thing he had
forgotten TO do.

Somebody is trying to get Congress
to pass bill making the birthday OF

before we tackle the foreigners? The
birthday that should be recognized as
widely as possible is that of Lincoln,
and until we can have that let us not
have anything.

Down in the land of the MOntezumas
they know how to get up odd souvenirs.
The committee appointed by President
Diaz to look after the comfort of the
delegates to the recent convention sent
to every woman in the party since her
return an exquisitely-wrough gold
locket about the size of silver dollar,
embossed with the design of the Aztec
calendar stone. On the reverse side
were rows Of rubies, diamonds and
emeralds, which gems make up the Ma
tional coiors of the Mexican Republic.
Mrs. Root and her daughter Edith re-
ceived portraits in their lockets. Mrs.
Roots had a fine miniature of the Sec
retary of State, and Miss Roots con-
tanned an equally good painting on
ivory of Lieut.. Grant, now her husband.
She had furnished a good photograph
of her fiance to committeeman,
not knowing the romantic use to which
it would be put. Miss Root received
from Nine. Diaz large portfolio bound
in Illuminated leather and containing
water-color sketches of famous bits of
Mexican scenery.
