THE PENSION QUESTION.
the
the
At the time of the promulgation of
general order of the commandant al
Soldiers Home requiring all pensioner
in the koine to turn over all Ibeir peu
siou money to the comm. indict except
four dollars per month, which onler was
in accordance with a resolution of the
board of trustees, the full particulars
thereof were published in I he Tlain
okalkk and (lie action of the board ed
itorially approved. It is understood
that some of the veterans took excep
tions to the remarks male. It is not
the policy of this paper to jump at con
clusions, especially in matters of that
kind, and while that opinion was hur
riedly written because of the obtain
ment of the information just before the
closing of the columns, subsequent in
vestigation has only tended to confirm
the opinion then expressed, that the ol
der was right and just.
A federal law, pasted by congress in
IS'.il, provides that inmates of soldiers'
homes shall deliver their pensions to the
commandants to be held for them in
trust or turned over to dependant rela
tives, but the regulations of various
homes have rules precisely the same as
ours. While these institutions are aided
by congressional appropriation they ex
ist under state laws and the state pro
vides the conditions under which appli
cants may be admitted, and oce cf these
conditions is that his pension, if be ia a
jiensioner, be turned over to the home
authorities. It is especially intended
that these homes shall be asylums for
the aged and infirm of the grand armv
tbat defended the Union who are w ith
out pensions or other means of support.
iuere are manv such in this state,
enough probably to fill the house. No
one will go further or da more in udve
cacy of measures that shall ameliorate
the condition of the old soldier, to whom
this and future generations owe a debt
of Kralilude, than the Plainduli i;, yet
benevolence should be tempered with
justice. A case in Minnesota ia cited
where the conditions were the same as
here. One of the inmates effected by
the order denounced the management as
corrupt and the trustees as robbeis. We
have heard similar language in the past
few days. The case was taken to the
courts, and the rule enforced, the judge
holding that in (he abeence of express
law it should be suttaiued as just, rea
sonable and equitable. Another case in
Iowa was decided the same way. The
court held that the ssldier was deprived
of no rights. When he makes his appli
cation for admieeion to the home he
knows what the rules require ; he then
understands the conditions under which
he may become a sharer in the bounty
of tbe Btate. Any other construction of
the law would largely defeat one of the
chief purposes of its enactment, namely
the support of those who by reason of
their poverty are unable to support
themselves.
It is a noticeable fact that the first pro
test again9t Ibis custom was made to
the Grand Army of the Republic ; but
the department encampment, after a full
discussion, indorsed the rule by an over
whelming majority at three successive
sessions. So it feerns that the great
mass of the soldiers themEelves admi:
the equities of the rule and endorse it by
vote and voice.
Hon. (ieo. K. l.eighton in au addres,
the other day on assuming the chairman
ship of the Sound Money League, said:
"We belit that the distiirhanoe. of
our monetary oliindard, which would
have resulted from free coinage of silver
under the old ratio, would have leen
most disastrous to the commercial in
terests of the country, subversive of all
justice and honesty in the matter of con
tract obligations, and, by the introduc
tion ol a depreciated standard, ruinous
to labor, whether in agricultural or in
dustrial pursuits. We know this would
have been the result, or ike hii-tor.r of
( ivilijition has been written in vain,
lint do not imagine that such a result
w as a part of the conwiom purpose of
any considerable number of l bote who
advocated free coinage. No one w ho has
had business or social relations with the
leople of the West and South, w here
unsound ideas have been most prevalent
and most persistent, could reach such a
conclusion. The whole movement out
side the mining states, was in my jidg
msnt a grasp in the air for relief from
real condition ol industrial disturbance,
not occasioned but greatly increased by
a defective currency system. The real
occasions and meaning of these, evils, or
the true remedv, they did not under
stand." While the Souud Money League is in
the field as an active lorce to oppor-e tbe
tree coinage idea it docs not propose to
appeal to the passions and prejudices of
men, but to their judgment, after giving
them the facts of History. It is also, as
shown by the address of the president,
ready to accord to the opposition sincer
ity of purpose, but lack of information.
In tbe same a Jdress occurs the follow
ing, in reply to the popular idea that a
bauk is created primarily iu the interest
of nnnied capital. The sight of a bank
has about the same effect on the average
populist as a red rag on an angry bull :
"I believe that in thoee eections of the
countrv where error is most prevalent
upon these questions it ie due almost en
tirely to an absolute want of knowledge
ol the larger commerce ot the country,
its nature, its methods, an, I its needs.
The necessity for a sound currency svs-
tern in the handling of 7,000,000 bales of
cotton, or WO.OOO.COO bushels of wheat
or 2,000.000,000 bushels of corn, with
the cattle and hogs of the farm or plan
tation, the S.tAV.OOO tons of iron, with
the scores of millions cf manufactured
products, is at once apparent to the mer
chant or manufacturer, who recognizes
the tank simply a6 a nseful commercial
instrument, just as the lailroad. the
steamship, the poetotlice or the tele
graph, aro commercial instruments.
They exist to facilitate the operations ol
commerce.
Patrick Henry said something about
his feet being guided by the lamp of ex
perience. That is still a good maxim to
follow. Like effects will produce like
results. What has been will be, under
the same conditions, depreciation of
the currency will produce disastrous con
sequences.
Englaml'i "grand old man" lias said
some very cutting things of late concern
ing the attitude of the government of his
country on the tiriM'o-Tnikiuli question,
bnl none rnoie incisivo than a letter ie
cently writleu to the Macedonian leader.
Gladstone is nearer the heart of the
l'nglish ieople than any other leader,
and the nct election, with Gladstone's
utterances for watchwords, will surely
be carried by tbe liberal party ol which
he, at 88, is still the real head. The
letter is as follows: "Under the preseut
deplorable scheme, all the British gov
ernment has a right to do, seemingly, ia
to ( lead its opinions before a tribunal ol
two youthful despots, the emporore ol
Germany aud Kussia, and to abide by
their help to execute their fiual deter
minations. Our disgraceful office seems
to be to place ship, guns, soldiers and
sailor at their disposal for (he purpose
of keeping down the movement for the
Iiterty of Crete and of securing to there
young despots, who have in nowise
earned the confidence of Kuro)e, th
power of deciding questions hick right
fully belong to the Oretaus."
The peoples party central committee
had a meeting at Portland the other dy
and solemnly resolved to "keep in the
middle of the road," aud to form no en
tangling alliances with any of the old
parties. Will they? Perhaps they will
do the same as last year, meet, adopt
platform, noniiuate candidates and then
put the management of the campaign in
the hands of a committee of practical
politicians, who will pull dowu or set up
w homsoever they please.
lbc question has been asked, who
pays tbe expenses of the American Pro
tective Tariff league .' It furnishes lots
of literature and these things cost
money. Of course interested parties pay
the expenses. This has been held up as
a terrible thing, that manufacturers
ebould put up their money to supply in
formation to the American people. But
is it any worse than the action of the
Reform Club of New York that has an
nounced its determination to defeat tbe
I'ingley bill 7 This club offers to f urnieli
reform plates free of charge, that shall
contain reasons why the proposed law
should be defeated. At whose expense
ia all this? That of interested parties,
of coarse. People are not in the habit
of spending their money unless there is
at least a poasibility of a contingent ben
efit. We are not in accord with the
ideas of the New York Iitform Club and
must decline their magnanimous offer,
with thanks. We had a little samule of
what the McKinley bi.. did, and we are
having some experience with the Wilson
bill and prefer a return to McKinley
conditions.
Congressmen Tongue beard Bryan dt
liver (its speech, that was lauded so
much, before the supreme court on the
Nebraska rte case. In a letter to the
Hiilslcro Independent Mr. Tongue does
not seem to bo much taken with Mr.
Pryan as au advocate before the highest
tribunal in the land. He said that
speech delivered by anybody else would
not have received three minutes attention.
Mark llaun.i is taking a hand ia the
senatorial tight in Kentucky, it appears,
and Dr. Hunter has his back up about it.
Kentucky is a little nearer Ohio than
OreoD. aud if Mr. Hanna was to much
interested in Oregon as reported there is
small surprise that he should send a
niau to Kentucky to help unravel the
muddle.
The populists by a formal declaration
have announced their ability to manage
their affairs without the aid of Sylyester
Pennoyer or John II. Mitchell. This
was probably called out by the rumor
that a combination had been formed by
the two gentlemen named whereby one
was to be senator and the other governor.
At a banquet of the mystic shrines ic
Portland the other day. our genial stats,
treasurer, ia rising to respond to a toast
was greeted with tbo cries "our next
governor " Stranger things than that
have happened ; and furthermore Phil
would not only make a good governor,
but would make a good run.
lr. Hunter, the caucus nominee of the
republicans of Kentucky for I'nited
States scuator, has been indicted by a
grand jury for the crime of bribery. As
it will be some timo before be will be
tried, he had better withdraw from the
senatorial race and allow tbe legislature
to agree upon a man.
When Governor John P. Altgeld was
placed in nomination before the demo
cratic convention of Illinois latt fall, it
will be remembered that his eulogist
painted him as being an angel among
men. It seems from his connection with
the state university of Illinois and the
wrecking of the Globe bank of Chicago
that be is anything but an angel. What
else could you expect from a man who
preached free silver and exacted iron
clad gold contracts from bis tenants?
The New Y'ork Reform Club sets forth
that the manufacturers of this country
have been compelled to improve their
machinery and methods in order to com
pete with foreign manufacturers. Tbe
improved methods noticeable ia a reduc
tion of the woges of labor to Ihe foreign
level. We don't care to compete with
the foreign manufacturer, if the condi
tion of the competition is the luwering of
our laborer to the foreigu plane.
Healthy home competition will regulate
prices.
Aud now it is said that Russia is niak

that imprisonment ol susriects entitled

lie will even go further tind make it
plain to the Spani-di authorities that
they cannot, in tho tloRing of the l'.lth

principles widely divergent from motlnru
civilu.ilion. In short, notice has been
served on tbo Spanish government in
