Col. Heistand complains that the
regular army is not sufficiently appre-
ciated. Those who know the army of
the present day admit that there are
some fine men in it, both officers and
enlisted men. Especially is this true
of the older men in the service. They
cannot deny. however, that SO long
as the army harbors such men as
Penrose, Macklin. Kilburn, and nu-
merons others who have done so
much to bring not only the Ameri-
can army but American manhood it
self into disrepute, it cannot claim
that respect which it was wont to en-
joy, when the title of American SOL
der was synonymous with that of
gentleman.

The South has been Inundated by
the sudden and unreasonable cpl
demic of lawlessness which has swept
over 1t in the form OF the night rid
ers. 1t is remarkable that in 8 day
when enlightenment is supposed to
exist, when the cultured element is
becoming dominant, that such open
violations of law should be tolerated
The foolishness of the night riders
actions has been demonstrated by the
fact that cotton continues to decrease
in price and nothing but excitement
and trouble follows their depreda-
tons. The night riders work is a
blot on civilization and is a shame to
every law abiding citizen.

someone, or else return them to their

Washington, June 29.-Bids for the

PENSION FOR Mrs. CLEVELAND
Following. Precedent, Congress Ma,
Vote Her $4,000 a Year.

Washington. June 29.-It is though,
likely that congress will provide q
pension Of $1,000 a year for Mrs
Grover Cleveland. following preced.
ent. Mrs. Garfield has received q
pension Of $1,000 each year since
1882. Mrs. Harrison. the only other
presidents widow now living. was not
pensioned, but she was Mr.. Harri-
sons second wife and married him
several years after his term as presi-
dent expired.
In cases heretofore where presi-
dents widows have been pentioned Il
happened that the president had also
been soldier. but the pension was
not granted on account of his military
service. While Mr.. Cleveland had
never done military duty he was none
the less commander-in-ch chief Of the
army and navy. The rate Of pension
which congress has habitually granted
to presidents widows is $1,000 year.
1t was in 1882 that the precedent OF
granting this sum was established.

New York, June 29.-The regular
