The Daughters of the Confederac are feelipg quite elated because Mr Stonewall” Jackson has added her name to their petition to congress to have the ex-confederates pensioned by the govermment upon the plea that since {hey are taxed to help pay pen- sions they should share in the benefits. It ‘is rather a novel sight to see those who would have destroved the government asking it to let its old foes share in the rewards for good cit- izenship and patriotic service, and to be doing it with all the sincerity ~of persons who are engaged in advanc- ing a good and rational cause. A democratic contemporar) ring to this matter, says “Nationally ~we have not reached that yet. Perhaps we never shall But the very fact that such a prop- osition can be received calmly and dis cussed rationally shows how vanished into the misty past are the rancors of the old strife.” The petition mfght be “No hope,” *and returned. GOV. WILSON'S MISTAKE. Governor Wilson of New Jersey thought he was entitled to a pension under the rules of the Carnegie foun- dation. So after he gave up the pre idency of the university to take the refer- endorsed: position of governpr of New Jersey he =sked to be pensioned. He was, how- ever, mistaken in this view. The pen- sions are not awarded automatical in accordance with length of service. The trustees of the fund exercise their discretion in granting or withholding pensions and the request of Governor Wilson was refused. In reference to his application for a pension Governor Wilson has made this explanation: “A man who soes into politics bound by the principles of honor puts his family and all who may be dependent upon him for sup- port at the mercy of any incalculable turn of the wheel of fortune, and i felt entirely justified in seeking to provide against such risks.” However honest and deserving Gov- ernor Wilson may be, his political en- emies will not neglect an opportunity have come to the conclus wrong in urging you to buy an | hobiie,” said Mrs, Jamesworthy. | ‘Well, 'm glad you're enjoving a lu !cid interval” returned her husband, | {as he backed up to the fireplace.
