Our Washington correspondent
writes as follows concerning pensions
nnd pension legislation :
"The common saying Unit republics
are ungrateful cannot be applied to
this republic's treatment of those who
have been disabled in its military serv
ice. The pension fund is seventy
millions, with the prospect that it will
bo increased during the present session
by the small bills and general pension
legislation not including a measure
presently to bo considered to an
amount nbovo ono hundred milliois
per annum. The proposition sup
ported by Gov. If ovcy of Indiana, for
tho payment of a general service pen
sion will largely increase this amount
if enacted. There nro about twclv
hundred thousand pensioners and at
tho proposed lalo of eight dollars pe
month the sum per annum would bo
$1 lf),20(),000. A sepcrate measure pro
viding for arrearages carries about
$000,000,000 additional. These vari
ous sums when added transcend tho
abihtv of ordinary minds to com
prehend and tho average citizen can
not discover tho ways and means for
raising tho sum total. Let him pon
dor tho problem over so long. Uuttho
people elected tho Congress of the
United States and tho wholesalo in
crease of tho pension list is all right
if
ho people agree to it. If tho tax-payer
cannot stand it his voice will surely bo
heard in the land and that before
many days."

The Australian ballot system, if
adopted, will protect scciety from two
classes of voters, both of whom, tho ono
voluntarily and tho other involuntarily,
are a menace alike to the constitution,
good laws, and good government. It
will protect tho coerced voter, ho who
is now driven to tho poles by hard task
masters, from all intermeddling on tho
part of those who compel him at tho
present time to vote as thev dictato or
loso his position and with it the means
to support himself and family, and, in
protecting him, it will protect society
from tho evil iniluonce of those who
would employ tho ballot for purely
Bullish ends. It will also largely protoct
society from tho bribe-giver and tho
bribe-taker, since thoro are few Dudleys
who will pay for votc.t in "blocks of live"
when thoy can have no possible guar
antee that tho receiver of tho biibo will
voto as ho agrees to. Ho who will soil
his voto is not tho man whoso word will
bo trusted oven by those who trallio in
personal honor. Hogues aro never
implicitly trusted by rogues.

Col. Itobert 0. I ngersoll recently de
livered an address before the New
York .State liar Association up
m "Crimes Against Criminals." Tho
following is a portion of tho brilliant
peroration :
"Wo know something of ourselves,
of tho averago man, of his thoughts,
passions, fears and aspirations; some
thing of his sorrows and his joys, his
weaknessoH, his liability to fall; some
thing of what ho resists tho strug
gles, tho victories, and tho failures of
his life. Wo know somothing of tho
tides and currents of tho mysterious
aim ; something of tho circuits of tho
wayward winds; but wo do not know
where tho wild storms aro born
that wreck and rend. Noithor do wo
know in what strange realms the mists
and clouds are formed that dim and
darken all tho heaven of tho mind,
nor whonec comes tho tempest of tho
brain in which tho will to do, sudden
as tho lightning's Hash, seizes and holds
n man until thu dreadful deed is done
that leaves a eurso upon tho soul
wo do not know. Our ignorance
should make us hesitate. Our weak
ness should make us merciful. 1 can
not more fittingly close this address
than by quoting tho prayer of tho Hud
dist: '"IprayTheo to havo pity on
tho vicious. Thou hast already had
pity on tho virtuous bv making them
so."
Till! democratic central committee
for tho state of Oregon, assembled at
Salem the lttth day of March, 18110,
and appointed Portland as tho place
and Thursday, tho 21th day of April
1BD0, as tho time for holding thu con
vention for thodumooratio party of thu
statu of Oregon. Tho ropiesontation
will consist of 102 dolega'es, Thecoiu
initteo recommends that precinct pri
maries bo held tho 10th day of April,
and tho various county conventions
tho 10th day of April, unless county
committees determine dillbrently.
I nion county is untitled to 7 delegates
to the statu convention.
The welfare of any county depends,
chiefly, upon having a good audV'-fficicnt ,
county brum!, nnd great care should be ,
used in selecting men for that position.
At our next election there will bo one
commissioner and a judge to elect.
As Mr. McDonald, of Summcrvillo,
holds over it is conceeded by all that
tho new commissioner should conic
from the southern portion of the
county. The people of that section
should, therefore, be looking around
for the proper man. Commissioner
Ik nnehofl' Inn b rn an honest, pains
taking ollicial and so far as Tin; Scon
is concerned it would not be displeased
to sec him servo another term.
Mr. C. D. McDowell, of Summcrvillo,
announces himself in this issue of
Tin: Scout as a candidate for the oHico
of County Recorder, subject to tho
decision of the republican convention.
Mr. McDowell is a merchant of
Summorville and is also the postmaster
there. He is vcrv popular with all
who know mm una n nommaiea
would, no doubt, make a hard light.

One exchange says that a Siwash

Hut few young people have entered
tho matrimonial arena with brighter
prospects of a happy and useful life
before lliein, than (his couple, and if
their walks through life be one of sun

roses of love, and happiness without
a single ripple in the tide of life to

what they deserve, and is the wish of
all who know them. Miss Gibson who
for some years past has been a resi

This cut Is a faithful
picture of the well known
establishment of Thomas
ITIco t Sou, nt r21 Sacra
mento street, S. F, As the
leading chemists of the
west, they vrcro nsfced to
lettlo tho question ns to what sarsaparlllas were
in fact purely vegetable. Wo present their re
port. " We hare mado enrcful chemical analyses of
levcrnl well known brands of Miripnrl!la, and
havo found them nil with theslngloctreptlonof
Joy' tocontnlii Iodide of Potassium. As n result
wo nro enabled to pronounce Joy's to bo tho only
purely vegetable Rrupnrllla now on tho market,
which has eomo under our observation."
Modern mcdlciuo has proven that nil ordinary
face eruptions aro not caused by diseased blood,
but by Indigestion nnd riugglsh circulation,
which call for vegctablo alteratives, Instead of
mineral blood purifiers llko Iodide of Potassium.
Joy'fl Vegetable Barsnpqrllla being tho latest, is
tho first to discard tho old notions and proceed
under the modern theory. Its cures attest tho
soundness of tho theory. It Is tho talk of the
hour.
