The forty- second congress, under the leadership of Senator Logan, made a wide reach ing reorganization of the army, and the present session has witnessed the pas- sage of the compulsory retirement law. But tho navy hos remained practically untouched a gigantic and top-heavy establishment in which the govern- mont has paid men to do nothing and appropriated millions of dolinrs to maintain sinecure officers on decayiny hulks.

Contrary to expectation in many 80 acourate as the produce boards in the great cities and the railroad stock market has risen rapidly in sympathy with the glowing reports received from every great trade center, Great crops mean lower flour and lower beef, a higher purchasing power for a dollar and consequently better if not in- creased wages for workingmen, S————— ONE of these days the railroad com- panies, west and east, will learn the lesson that cheap fares increase ro- ceipts, Btreet car companies in three eastern cities have suddenly discov- ered this fact greatly to theirsurprise. In Now York the stage lines, who feared an enormous loss of business as #00n as the elevated railroads opened for traffic, reduced their fares fifty per cent, and since that time have de- clared as large dividends as before. In Philadelphis the same result has followed, while in Baltimore the city street car company which reduced fares to 6 cents has fourd its receipts in the first quarter increased to $174,- 193, as against $163,920 for the same time last year, quarters, Prosident Arthur has re- turned the river and harbor bill to congress with his veto, This action will meet the approval of the great majority of American people, regard- loss of party. The river and harbor bill, as passed by congress, was a monstrous job, Of nearly nineteen millions appropriated, more than one- third was no better than a downright steal, Beveral millions designed for improving duck ponds and creeks that never can be made navigable were in reality intended as plunder for a horde of sharks that prey upon the country through this channel, The president could hardly sanc- tion such raids upon the national treasury without being justly held re- sponsible as an accessory, It required a good deal of back bone to veto this bill in the face of the pressure that was brought to bear upon him. He was not only besieged by con- gressmen and senators that had la- bored for months on this mounster job but protests, petitions and remon- strances poured upon the president from chambers of eommerce, boards of trade and municipal oficers in cities and sections that were munificently provided for in the bill. The people of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys who are deeply inter- ested in the projected improvement of the great rivers will deplore the president's veto, which for a time at least may deprive them of much needed transportation facilties. But they will hardly blame the the presi- dent for doing his duty. They will cheerfully submit to a few months delay, rather than see the country robbed of millions, There is still a possibility that congress will act upon the suggestions of the pres!dent before adjourning, by passing the bill with all objectionable features omitted, or by passing the bill with the proviso that the expenditure for the present soason shall be optional with the president- A TREACHEROUS MEMORY. The wounded bird flutters, Our brief and pointed allusion to the con- trast between the abhorence in which Tur Bee and its editor are just now held by the late clerk of Mr. Valen- tine, and the desire of that person to associate his name with the editorial department of Tur Bee only a few months ago has struck a very tender chord. The amateur journalist takes up a whole column of the Repubtican with a personal ex- planation concerning this episode. Like his dear friend, Val's man Fri- day, Dr. Schwenck, he has a very treachorous memory. Possibly we can refresh 1t by presenting a concise statement of the true inwardness of his overtures for a position on Tur Bee, There never has been much love lost between the senior editor of the Republican, Mr. Brooks, and the juvenile ju- nior that founded and foundered the Omaha News. Last fall a rupture took place that left the junior out in the cold. Meeting the editor of Tue Bee on Farnham street, in front of the court honse, one day, he accosted him and bluntly asked whether he could secure a position as assistant editor, Stag- gered by this rather abrupt proposal, the editor ot Tue Bek expressed some doubt, and asked for time to censider tho matter. A few days later Mr. Valentine's clerk called at the editor's residence and there tried to convince the writer that he could be of great advantage to Tur Bee through his wealthy rela- tives and personal friends who wero then unfriendly to Tue Bee. Healso expressed a desire to take a pecuniary interest in Tnr Bee by investing in stock, He was informed that the company had all the means it needed and no stock to sell, but he might be able to purchase the etock held by brothers of the editor should his proposal be accepted. It was pointed out to him that his pronounced stand in favor of monop- olies, and his detense of their most outrageous exactions would unfit him for editorial service on Tue Bee, He thought this would be overcome by vigorous assaults upon the rail roads, and an exposure of the corrupt and disreputable methods of his former associates in the U, P, ring. He dwelt at length upon his ability to carry the war into Africa by using the information he had obtained No definite answer was given him, howover, but he was requested to call at Tue Bek office at 4 p. m, He did call, and there was mot by the busi- ness manager, Mr. Souer, who in- formed hirh that his application could not be entertained. This is a truth- ful and unvarnished history cf the negotiations, Meantime the young man had given it out at Fremont that he was engaged as assistant editor of Tur Beg, and the Fremont papers published this statement, but a fow days later, they announced that the juvenilo editor had refused an offer from Tug Ber because he would not bind himself to the concern for three years and would not promise to support Rosewater's pollcy, This downright falschood compelled us to make a flat contradiotion, which took the wind out of the young man’s sails, and nothing more was heard of this, Now that he has resumed his rela- tions with the Union Pacific monopoly he tries to cover his tracks by coining a tissuo of falsehoods which contradict themselves on the face. He proves himself a contemptible sneak capable of doing anything for money, by asserting that his voluntary coming over to Tue Bre would not have ochanged his views, but that he would have worked as a machine, and always hated and despised the man whose confidence he was seeking, This is in keeping with his present course, He asserts that the barrier to his employment on Tur Bee was his refusal to buy stock held by brothers «f the editor at Cloveland. As it happens that those brothers have never oflered their for sales and have drawn divi- dends thereon with which they are satisfied this pretense is very fishy and it appears the more absurd that the writer should prefer Val's clerk as his business partner to his own brothers, He tries to drag in the dead ex-senator, whom nobody abused stock more vigorously six years ago than that young man with the treacherous memory. Give the calf rope enough and he will choke himself. —_— About Pensjons. San Francisco ( hronicle. From the formation of the govern. ment down to the year 1880 there had been paid out for pensions to soldiers $600,464,161, In the yes pavments amounted to 85t 1881 to 850,706,631; for the year ended , 1882, was 866,000,000, The estimates for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, call for £103.000,000. And it appears that 873,000,000 will be about the average for the next ten yoars, ending June 30, 1803, After that there will be a gradual dropping from the rolls; but it is asserted that the requirements for the ultimate extine- tion of this itom of expenditure will be, first and last, from the beginning of the civil war to the death of the last pensioner the enormous sam of §2,000,000,000. It has always been the policy of our government to pension its private sol- diers as well as the officers, The policy was inaugurated as early as 1789, It was extended afterward to the soldiers of the war of 1812-15; and it was reaffirmed in_favor of the Union soldiers in the late civil war. In addition o this the government has made grants of land-—small farms ~—to its private soldiers. All political partics have assented to this policy. It rests upon the reasonable theory that if the republic is worth defend- ing its defenders should be taken care of and protected from want when ago and wounds received in war have in- capacitated them from labor, No other modern government hias adopted this system. In England only the officers are pensioned, and the same rule holds all over Europe, though in the civil service privates, such as policemen, after age has incapacitated them, or disease, are put on the pen- sion roll. We believe there is no par- allel in history for our penslon system to private soldiers. The closest ap- proximation to it is the ancient Ro- man plan of distribution of land among the legionaries, to which Cassar and others added moneyed gratuities— money that they robbed the treasury and defeated factions of. The em- perors were forced to keep up this system to conciliate the army, and often it happened that the people went in tavor of the aspirant who was rich- est and most liberal in his dona- tions to the Prsetorians. Once they put they empire up at auction to the highest bidder, and the evil ex- ample at last made the army master of the senate and the emperors, and led to the ruin of the empire. Our system is not amenable to that objec- tion. We have only the shadow, the skeleton, of a regular army, which cannot be a menace to the govern- ment. Our pensionaries are citizen- soldiers, retired to peaceful pursuits, and the only objections to 1t are (1) that it entails an enormous expense, and (2) that it is open to frauds. But it is better to bear the enormous cost of the pensions than to discourage patriotism in defense of the republic; and it is practicablo to eliminate fraud from the system, though congress aund the pension bureau have not so far succeeded in the endeavor. Besides, tho yearly payments to the pensioners are quick- ly put into circulation again, and very littlo of the amount goes out of the country. The nation that takes care of its citizen-soldiers will always, in every extremity, find citizen-soidiers for its defense when it needs them, while the nation that does not—that treats its private soldiers like so many wornout cavalry horses turned out to starve —will have to depend on stand- ing armies or on forolgn mercenaries when war is forced upon it. Heavy as this item of yearly expenditure is to the government, thanks to those in whose favor it is, and who saved the nation from collapse and ruin, the ex- penso is so distributed as hardly to be felt by the people. GOING TO THE DOGS. The Monops of Boone County on the Ragged Edge of Despair. —_— ALsioN, Neb,, July 31, 1882, To the Edisor of Tun Bus. We, the “monops” of Boone coun- ty, are in a terrible quandery, for the ‘‘ragged asses’ are harvesting the lar- gest orop of small grain ever raised in this section, and this, in connection with the prospect of a heavy corn crop, is making them very saucy and impertinent, so much so that they are going to run an independent ticket this fall, The election is right upon them, and there is no side issue to de tract them from their treasonable pur- poses. Two years ago we were all right. Wo had the war raging down in Dixie, and we told them that a re- publican could not live in that sunny land, but when they found out that thousands of regublicans lived and voted for Garfield away down in Ala- bama, it played us out. We also had the temperance boom, but since saloons came into our county, some of our prominent temperance monops have got to indulging to such an ex- tent that, perchance, if were to send them out as missionaries, the effect of their libations could be seen blazing from the ends of their probosces, like the fiery ocoat of Mars. We expccted to do something for Val- entine on the woman suffrage move- ment, but the fact that ““Vall” took the postoflico at Norfolk from a worthy lady and gave it to an able-bodied male political henchman of his, has knocked all our calculations in the head, besides the wives of the “rnfigml asses’ seem to be more interested in the anti-monopoly movement (may the murrain take it) than in the guaes- | tion of suffrage for themselves, *‘My God! what will we do to carry the olection this full?” is the question that worries the bosses. “It we do not succeed we will lose our passes sure and have to pay our way like the com- mon herd does, We must have an is- thought that Valentine's speech on the China bill would make him all right with the democrats, but his voting for the tariff commuasion and sending to re- publicans the speechof Kelley,the high pricst of the tariff party, is knocking him higher than Hamon's gallows, besides, the farmers are getting anx- ious to know how he voted on the dfferent bills which have been intro- suo to distract the farmers. We| ducad into congress to regulate rail- roads; but above all and overshadow- ing all, that doctoring the census returns, for enterprise and originality beats the manufacture of wooden nutmegs all to pieces. Well may the east grow green with envy when they see their representative men so much behind those of the west in the tricks and quirks of statesmanship. The only danger there was in connec- tion with the job, had it been a suc- cess, was in the possibility of the bcys quarreling when they came to divide the “‘swag.” Now comes this man Crounse, on the anti-monopoly plat- form, and has the audacity to contest our Val.’s seat. I thought we had taught him a lesson years ago that would last him a lifetime, He is the duck who in- troduced a bill intc congress to compel the U. P, to prorate with B.& M. in order that the ‘‘ragged assos” who were living on the troeloss plains of Nebraska during the grass. hopper time might have cheaper fuel. We want him to know once and for- ever that he who dares to interfere with the royal perogatives of our mas- ters forever leaves behind all hepe of political preferment. The idea! 1f he was to get into congress he would spend as much time in looking after the interests of the ‘‘r. a.” as Farmer Van Wyck does. What we monops of Boone want is a man who will look after the interests of our railrosd mas- ters, What we want are officers, and calling men ‘‘dirty loafers” is not the way to get them. Van Wyck is mak- ing the farmers think they are somebody. Just think of it! An United States jsenator replying to the working men of Omaha. We re- plied to them without guns and how- itzers, We will have to impeach Van Wyck, (if we capture the legislature,) or else he will get the farmers so in- dependent chat we, the prominent men—won't be able todo a thing with them. Ho is too popular now. Oh! for the halcyon days of old when we could make out the tickets for the ‘““ragged asses,” and vote them without a protest. We must have an issue if we have to force Arthur to declare that the Monroe doctrine ap- plies to the Suez canal as well as to the Panama, and tells John Bull to get out of Egypt. ‘“Moxor,” Catarrh of the Bladder.

A good story is told The Post at the expense of Colooel Robie, the ‘‘farm- ors’ candidate” tor Governor of Maine. Some ten years ago, at the time when the epizooty was generally prevalent, a certain York county man was en- gaged in hauling goods to and from the freight depots at Portland, using oxen instead of horses. All of his own stock was in use, and he was obliged to buy several more yokes in order to keep up with the demands of his customers. One day he chanced to meet Colonel Robie in a railroad car, the Colonel en route to Gorham, where he resides upon a large and highly cultivated ancestral farm. The Colonel and the York county man en- gaged in conversation, and during its progress the former said: “*William, what are you paying for oxen now?” “That depends,” replied William, “Well,” said the Colonel, ‘‘get off with me at Gorham and come over to my place and look at a yoke of mine; handsome as pictures; splendid pullers; and you mfy have 'em at a bargain.” The invitation was accepted, and soon our York county friend found himself in front of the Robie mansion, most beautifully situated}in the midst of fields of waving grass, surrounded by grand old elms, and itself an old- fashioned but sumptuously turnished house, beneath whose roof its present owner has passed many happy hours and entertained with genuine hospi- tality a host of friends. “Jim,” shouted the ‘‘farmer’s can- didate,” as he drew near the barn, “‘fetch out that yoke of dark reds.” Now, Jim had been enjoylng himself that day, and it was not surprising that he made an occasional mistake, ‘Al right, sir,” remarked the hired man, and soon a handsore pair of cat- tle were in the yard. But they didn't show off well; they didn’t pull well; they acted, in fact, as though the devil were in them. The genial Colonel was puzzled. “Jim,” he called out in tones of ming- led disgust and anger; ‘‘Jim, what in thunder have you been doing to 'em?”’ “Nothing to-day but feeding them, sir,” replied Jim respectfully. “But don’t tell me that,” responded the Colonel, “because you have been lick- ing 'em.” Jim indignantly denied that such was the fact, whereupon the far- mer's candidate said: ‘‘Jim, give me that goad,” and with a *‘back-up,” “’gh 'sh,” ‘‘a gee star,” etc., the Col- onel endeavored to have the animal show off to advantage. But to the in- tense delight of our friend William, and to Jim also, for that matter, the yoke of dark reds scted worse than before. “‘Idon’t see for the life of me what's got into the critters,” chipped in the Colonel, in evident disgust at their contrariness, ‘‘I never knew 'em to act this way before " “‘Well, Colonel,” said the York county man, ‘I have seen your oxen, now what's your price!” “‘Well, being's you,” said the Col- onel, deliberately, and with a squint of one of his langhing oyes, “T'Ul let "em go for an even §250." ““Too much, Colonel, too much for a pair that don't pull better'n they do,” responded the York county man. "\Vel{l, William,” piped in “the farmers candidate,” *‘what would you be willing to give for 'eh?” “I'll give you just $225 ‘em howme this afternoon. For a fow seconds the Colonel was apparently buried in profound medi- tation, Suddenly he broke out with: “Well William being’s you, you may have 'em at your own price, Honest- ly, William, I never saw the critters act this way before.” William completed the trade and started for home with his purchase, When he got the animals out of sight of the Colonel’s houso he just changed ‘em around, putting the off ox on the off side and the nigh ox on the nigh side, and therecafter as the story goes, “They went along beautifully.” and drive & Every color of the Diamond Dyes is perfect, ~ See the samples of the col- ored cloth at the druggists, Un- equalled for brilliancy. POLITIOAL NOTES. Senator Warner Miller will take part in the Maine campaign.

I would not if I could bea United States senator. My _fanaticism would not avail me there, I have no doubt that I would fade into a very morti- fying existence.” Wise precautions are being taken by the Maine republicans to guard against a repe- tition of the Giarcelon frauds, This care is believed to be necessary from the facts that Governor Plaisted signed an address ap- proving Garcelon’s: course in the connting out frauds of 1879, and that he will be a member of the board which will count the votes this year, The Portland Oregonian expresses the opinion that the re-election of Senator John H. Mitchell by the republican legis- lature of Oregen would make an independ- ent party and keep up a centinual broil in the politics of the state, It says also that the legislature is republican this time only because the character of the nominations in many places was taken as an assurance that Mr, Mitchell would not be re-elecated. The nominee of the democrats in the Sixteenth Illinois congressional district is Aaron Shaw. He s d one term in con- gress from 1857 to 1859, and his nomina- tion now, after o burial of nearly a quar- ter of a century, is looked upon as a po- litical resurrection. Among those who st in the Thirty-fifth congress with him were Owen Lovejoy, Sam Masshall, B. Washburne, Humphrey Marshall, Henry Winter Davis, N. P. Banks, Frank P, Blair, Reuben L. Fenton, Juhn Kelly and Joshua R, Giddings.
