Tar Philadelphia Z'ress takes Sena- ttor Ingalla to task for saying that the -oivil service bill is a cheat and that each party is trying to cheat the ‘other. While we do not take much stock in Mr, Ingalls as & representa- tive of tho people, we rather admire his pluck for telling the truth for once. IN order to prevent delay in the work of tariff revision the house com- mittee on ways and menus have agreed to remain in Washington during the holiday recces. Chat will keop the lobby in hot water between Oaristmas and New Years and afford a good chance for converting the members of the committee to their views. Tz high protective duty on light- ning rods should at once be abolished The demand for lightning rods in Michigan, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas will during the next month -exhaust the entire supply of Ameri- can manufacturera and we think it an imposition on senaterial candidates to deprive them of the advantage offored by the lightalng rod markot abroad. —— Wirs the decision of the national supreme court in the Curtis case, which makes it a oriminal offense for certain officers and employes of the United States to solicit or reccivo po- litical assessments from each other, we have reached one important step toward the reformation of existing abuses in the public cervice, Now let congress pass a law that will prohibit federal officials from acting as mem- bers of political committecs or becom- ing delegates to political conventions, and we shall have traveled a good ways toward purifying the oeespool of politics and putting down bossism, Tuey have a Sundsy closing league in New York, whose bustness it is to cause the arrest of persons who vio- late the new Bunday law, The agents of the league made efforts to procure arrests in a number of cases last Mon- day, but as a rule they were not wil- liog to go to court aecomplainants and the police were not disposed to put themselves out to assist in these prosecutions, The outoome is that the law is a dead letter and the league o fatlure, This is what has happened in every cily where Sonday laws and striot prohibitory laws have been en- acted. The good people who clamor for those laws are never willing to make personal efforts to bring the -law-breskers to justice and the police are gonerally hired to ‘‘keep order” in Sunday lager beer gardens. Ir is doubtfnl whether the advantage from two cent postage will be as great s has been predicted by the advocates of that reform, The penny postal card affords a very cheap medium for all intercourse that can be carried on without secrccy, Thoss who are com- pelled to communicate by letter would do 80 just as o at three conts per letter as they will at two cents, Of course business men, and especially bankers who have a large correspond. encs will profit by the reduction, bat we doubt very much whether any baok or murchsut would increase the number of his letters oue per cent bo- cause they go through the mail for less than three cents each. Of courae if the goveroment can carry letters for two cents without loss it i proper that the reduction be made. PUBLISH THE ROLL OF HONOR. The pension list that bears the names of disabled loyal soldiers who rallled in defense of the flag and saved the Union, is a voll of honor. Every soldier whose name is right- fally enrolled as ons of the heror g who fought and suffered for Ags country oan be proud of the "pet, The suggestion that it would ' hame him or his children to publish him as entitled to and receiving {n his old age the small eor peasation allowed by the nation o those who took up arms in dr fewe of the republic is all bosh, a' ;d the widew who iost a husband, o / «son on the field of battle eannot bat be proud of weeing her name oa ¢he roll of honor vide by side with tha gallant defond. ora of the country ., It Is enly the class that have no rircht to a peneion that raises its voice ‘againet the proposition to publish the pension roll which would dead to the dstection of im. posters. 1t ¥ notorious [that handreds of scourdrols who never came within a thoxsand miles of the bastle field have succeeiod in gotting their names on the pension roll by froudulent testl- wmoeny. Almost every neighborhood s cognizant of this wort of soandal, Hero is a caro In point: An elderly cripple has appeared in Dotroit claim- ing to be Charles K. Brewer, who enlisted in company A, First Michi- gan artillery, in August, 1801, and was reported killed in the battle of Ball Run, in August, 1862, After that battle ‘Charles E, Brewer was never again seen alive by any person previously acqusizted with fiim. The man whe now claims to be the identi. cal Charles (2. Brewer has his certifi- cate of enlistment and plenty of bat- tle-acars 'to show that ks was a sol- dier, but tolls a very atrange story about his wprotracted disappearance. He says the injaries reecived in the battle wherein he was reported killed impaired his memory o that he can- not tell srhere he was or what hap- pened to him for a long time after the battle. Allhe knows is that he found himseif-at last living in Kaneas City, where hiie homo now 4s, and being in dentituts circumstances he has visited Detroit to get some of his old com- radea tc essist him in obtaining a pen- sion, with the acroars allowed by the existing law. This may bo Charles E. Brower, but the story is just euch aone s would bo concocted by conspirators who hed ohtained or torged Brewer's certificate aud found some old de- serter or batterod old rebel willing to persorate a dead unlon soldier for a share ef the plunder thus to be filohed from the treasury of a grateful and outragoously swindled country, The trial of one ‘Wackerle in St. Louis-doveloped pretty strong proof that it 1s 80 easy for a living man to personate a dead soldier and enjoy his pecsion, The appalling increase of the pension list ‘makes it morally certaic that a large proportion cf the pensicners aro wicked impostors, Any miscreant who robbed a wounded sol- dier on the battlefickd may, if he pre- served his victim’s papers aud s ordi- narily shrewd, makeuse of these pn- pers and by perjurad testimony get on the pemsion roll and even draw o snug fortuno in the way of arrrears. The law, as now administered, offers a premium on raseality and fraud, and the proposition to publish the pension rolls in each locality or distriot where the penaioners reside -would not only put a stap to the imposition, but would rld the eountry of hundreds of bogus ponsioners who have no claim upon the government, m—————emeee—— THE OLD CAUOUS TRAP. Monopoly organs in this state wero in haste to record the fact that Con- gressman Walentine had Introducad a bill looking toward the taxation of unpatented lands claimed by the rail- way companies. The purpose was ev- ident, The newspapers that paraded this ‘‘heroic” and latter day effort of Mr. Valentine evidently assumed that the people would at ongy deduce from this act another, to-wit: That Valentine and those who supported him and with whom he and his forcer will labor shortly to eleot a United States senator, were anti-monopolists ~—good and true. As the time draws near when the leyislature of this state will meet at which & sen- ator must be .chosen, it be- came highly important to earry the conviction to anti-monopoly re- publicans that Valentine is all right on the antl-monopsly question; and more lmportant still, that these anti- monopoly republicans should draw the inforence from Valentine's bill that his friends, who will labor at Lincoln to eecure their man for senator, were, like Valentine, good antt-monopoly repablicans. It was one of thoso acts that a little political magiclan would quite naturally hold up to the gazs of men whom he too frequently assumes are roady to applaud decoption, Old “Jooy Iingatock” would probably ox- i " but then Joey did not live in this age, Men who know why tuey are auti monopolists aro not 8o ready to be caught with a olever trick, and drawn into ihe hoped for “‘rogular” republican “caucus,” on which all the hopes cf the wonopolists are base(! to seoure a monopolist for senator, Aside from the radical dif. forence which exista between a repub- THE DAILY BEE-FRIDAY DECEMBER 22 which w®pout boiling who ' & an anti-monopotist; aside from | waters, the devil's paint pots, the the yeal purpose which the monopolists 8t Lineoln will have in view in bull | ;lien, panthers and the like, he adds @ joring republicans, one and all, into & party ‘‘oaucus,” the gone by for independent men of any party, who happen to differ with the ‘‘bosses’” on & matter of prin- ciple, to be read out of for refasing to be caught in the old “party” caucus trap. When Roscoe Conkling resizned snd mought a re- election in 1881 the party caucas was tho thing that was to do it, but the men who subscquently elected Lap ham and Miller, and not Conkling and Piatt, saw the device that spoke for the result that would follow their at. tendance on a catcus, and they rofused to attend, That refasal defeated Conk- ling, and the effort to read out of the party those who rsfured to be whipped into a caucus has met with a dieastrous result in New York. Without doubt an effort will bo made to secure tho attendance of enough republicans at a regular “‘party” caucus to control the election of a senator, but the pledges made to the voople are too numnerous and all would be broken by an attend. anoe, for the reason that all will be bound by the action taken 'in ecaucus by the majority, and *he only true way to redeem the pledges given is to remain away until, at least, it can ‘be soen what the real purpose of the leaders in iu the matter of a candidate for senator, The people will not be prepared to accept any excuse for at- tending, and no man who weakly pute his trust in a cancus promise will be heard for @« moment by the people in defense of his action, In the Conkling contest of 1881 proh- ably fho most ‘bitter one on record, those who remained away from the caucus were derided and denounced by all tke ‘‘regular” party organs as rebels, and all sorts of epithets calou- latet] to rendor thes politically odioua in the cyes of men were heaped upou them, but they were as obstinate aa Gen. Grant In the ‘Wilderness and at Cold Harbor. The result of that'long and bitter legislative contest was the defeat of the regular caucus at the outset and the irregulars, overcoming the regnlara elected their senators, Nebraska can elect an anti-mongpoly senator and it depends at the outset, whether anti-monopoly republicens will remsin firm and true to the pso- ple or not.

The United States, he says cannot with propriety go into the business of running hotels, bath houses and livery stables, or of tar- nlshing camping parties with outfis, Hence the lessing of parts of the park, uader which Mossrs, Hobart and Douglas propose, with the aid of | hiiceolf and other gentlemen, to build aud run lotels aud do the things which the government cannot do, snd | } that is the objoot of the leasos now in courae of oxecation ara not over eighty-five miles of avail- able wagon road in this vast domain, Not less thaa 800 miles will be needed to make its beautics cersiblo to tourists, espeo if Jadies and families are ever to en- joy them. He claias that there have bevn extraordinary misanderstandings concerning the scope and purposs of the lease. It is evident that Gen, Sheridan, who visited the park with an escor. of 200 cavalry, has never seen the contract, or he would not have made that report about obligs- tions which the government would At preteut there | wtate are nnable to resd, and 10,674 are unable to write, of the am.n.m.cf'u,-n.

Uncle Rufus further points out that long before Gen, Bher- idan's report was made he and his as. sociates had oalled the attention of the secretary of the interlor to acts of extraordinary vandalism committed in the park by federal troops as well as tourists, in the wholesale slaughter of game, which was left to rot in heaps on the ground, the burning of thou- sands of acres of beautiful timber and the useless mutilation of geyser cones. To putan end to this they recommended suitable legislation and the allowance of assistance to the gamekeeper adequate to put an end to the depredations of skin buntera They now propose, if permitted, to have one or two handsome hotels open in June, with an equipment of stagos, wagone, saddle horses and guides for the conveniencs of suramer tourists, As they hope to make money, it will be for their interesi to preserve the game and natural besu- ties of the place to thé utmest ¢f their abllity.

Such laws can bo enforced throvgh the federal courts, and it should be made the duty of the United States district at- torneys to prosecute ofienders.
