Marrying for Pensions,
Congressman Uragg, of AVisconsin,
lias discovered a now and peculiar con
spiraoy against tho national welfare.
It seems, according to Ins showing,
that liiu American firl is systematically
marrying tho American old soldier for
tlio nolo jmrposo of getting herself
placed on tho pension rolls in a few
years as a widow, contrary to tho true
intent nnd meaning of the law. Uit
less stfcps shall bo taken to limit
widows' pensions to women who were
wives of soldiers when the war was in
progress. Mr. Uragg gives us to tin
dorsLnml, the government mint ultima
tely find itself burdened with a largo
assortment of young women haviug no
just claims upon its beneficence.
Tax on Moneyod Oap.tal,
JUDO!', 1IAN1I AFFIItMS T1IK CONSTITUTIOX-
Ai.nr ok Tin: new law.
PrtsidcntJudgo Hand of Lacka
wanna county at Scrantou rendered a
decision in tho cao of Georgo Sander
son and others, askint: for an injunc
tion restraining the County Commiss
ioners from assessing and collecting
tho thrco mill-tax on moneyed capital
under the provisions of the act passed
by tho last Legislature. The petition
ers claimed that tho act was unconsti
tutional, becatiso tho title does not ex
press tho subject matter, because the
act contains moro than one subject, does
not point out what laws or portions of
laws aro thereby revised, amended, ex
tended or repealed, enacts exceptions
from taxation unwai ranted by tho
Constitution, and because tho taxation
enacted is not uniform. On every
point raised Judge Hand affirms the
constitutionality of tbo law. The case
will bo appealed to the Supreme Court.
Ideas for Pensioners.
In anticipation of the passage, of tho
bill by the Senate which contemplates
an increaso in widows' pensions from
$8 to $12 per month claimants aro al
ready inquiring at the Pension Office
as to what forms of application are
necessary to be filed; what fees aro to
bo paid attorneys for collecting the in
creased pension; in what manner the
old certificates are to bo returned, etc.,
elc. To givo pensioners a correct idea
of the situation tho Commissioner of
Pensions makes tho following state
ment; that in case the bill now pending
in the Senato becomes a law, it is his
intention to adjudicate the new olaims
without the production of any evidence
and without the surrender of the old
certificates, either to the office or to
third parties. The payment by the
additional rate will simply be a matter
of detail, no more so than the payment
of the pension agents at tho different
agencies of the Bums due on any certi
ficate at the present time, aud bo de
sires that no correspondence be referr
ed to the office on tho subject, as the
result would bo to greatly embarrass
and delay tho operations of tho office.
Attorney Oonerals Brewster and Garland.
When tho We.-tern Union Company's
counsel asked Attorney General Brew
ster to allow the government to inter
vene and cancel Colgate's patent, tho
application was referred to Solicitor
General Phillips for action, and by his
direction suit was begun in the Circuit
Court in this city. When the Pan
Klectrio Company or tbe National
Improved Tclephono Company, for
they aro practically one asked Attor
ney General Garland to allow tho
government to intervene and cancel the
Bell patent, tho application was re
ferred to Solicitor General Goodo and
by his direction suit was begun in tho
Circuit Court in Memphis. Attorney
Genorcl Brewster had been counsel for
tho Western Unicn Telegraph Com
pany in Pennsylvania and lie acted
with discretion and propriety in referr
ing the company's application to the
Solicitor General. Attornoy General
Garland was interested as a stockhold
er in the Pan Electrio Company, and
ho acted with discretion and propriety
in referring the application to Solicitor
General Goode. We think that "Hon
esty'' and tho 1'ost will bo satisfied
now that tho cases aro "quito parallel.''
And this parallelism will not be dis
turbed if we add that no corrupt act
or inteut was ever charged against Mi.
Brewster for his cotirso in the Colgate
case, and no corrupt act or intent can
bo justly charged against Mr; Gnrhnd
for bis course in the Bell case. iVcie

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE.
GENERAL. HANOOOK ADDED TO TEE
LIST Of OUR ILLUSTRIOUS
DEAD.
Major General Winlleld .Scott Han
cock died at his homo on Governor's
Island, Noiv York, on Tuesday nflcr
noon at !) o'clock.
Twenty days ago ho started on bus
iness connected with tho Department
of tho Atlantic, to Philadelphia, where
ho rennincd two days nnd thon proceed
ed to Washington. In Washington a
boil developed itself on the back of his
neck. It was lanced on January !10lh
and as the General was much In'coiivo
nicncedjhy its presence ho returned to
Now York several days sooner than ho
had designed. During tho first week
of February tho boil had developed
into a malignant carbuncle, which sup
purated constantly nnd prevented rest
or sleep. Dr. .Innoway was called in
attendance and it win not until a
marked weakness had resulted from
tho prcseuco of the carbuncle that the
surgeon discovered that Ueneral Han
cock was suffering from diabetes nud
kidney trouble. Dr. Jaueway called
iu consultation, Medical Director of
tho Department, and Dr. D M. Slim
eon, of Now York. Tho medical men
concluded on Monday that the caso
was assuming a very serious form.
At 10 o'clock on Monday night be
fore going home, Dr. Janoway found
his patient in good spirits nnd able to
assist himself, and ho loft him appar
ently improved and in tho chargi of
Hospital Steward Robinson. At 0:1 i
o'clock on Tuesday morning, Mrs.
Hancock dispatched an orderly for Dr.
Jaueway, as she feared thu General
was sinking rapidly. Tho doctor came
speedily and ho found tho General in a
comatose state, with a feeblo pulse and
all the premonitory symptoms of death.
The Doctor summoned the two physi
cians already named. Hypodermic in
jections of brandy and ether, and of
carbonate of ammonia and brandy
were administered. These, howeer,
only alleviated tbo suffering of the sol
dier, who gradually sank away until
death was touched at 2:1 p. m. as
stated. In the words of Dr. .Tanoway,
'The General went down to the close
of his lifo liko a pcrsou descending a
flight of stairs."
When death came, the thiee physi
cians and the Hospital Steward only
were present.
HIS LIKE AK1 BEIIVICKS.
Winfield Scott Hancock was born
in Montgomery county, Pa., February
4, 1821, and was therefore within a few
days of C2 years of age. Ilis moth
er's father was a Revolutionary soldier
and was captured at sea and confined
in the Dartmoor prison, England. His
great-grandfather on his mother's side
was also a soldier under Washington
aud rendered good service, dyiug at
tho t5oo of the Revolution from ex
posure and hardships endured in the
field. Haucoek's father served in the
war of 1812 aud afterwards became a
lawyer of distinction in Montgomery
county, Pa. At tho ago of Hi Han
cock was sent to West Poiui grad
uated in 1844, June 30, and 1845-0
served with his reuiment in tho Indian
.Territory as a Second Lieutenant of
tho bixtb Lufantry. In 181 he was in
Mexico and conspicuous for gallantry
at the Natural Bridge, San Antonio,
Contreras, Chernbusco, Molino del Iley
and the capture of the City of Mexico.
He was breveted for gallantry at the
battles of Contreras and Cherubnsco..
In 1849 nnd 1850 he served with his
regimeut as Quarter-Master and Adju
tant, and in the Fall of 1850 was
married at St. Louis to Miss Almira
Russell, tho daughter of a prominent
merchant of that city. He took part
in several Indian campaigns iu the
West, and in 1857 was engaged in the
Southern Florida war. He sered in
tho expedition against Utah, and in
1859 went to California.
When ho heard of tho rebellion he
took high ground in favor of the Union
and did much in 1801 to check the
secession spirit then seizing on Cali
fornia. Ho applied to Governor Cur
tin, of Pennsylvania, for a commission
in the volunteers, but the Governor
being slow in replying to his applica
tion, ho obtained a loavo of absenco
ana came j.ast. ins earnestness im
pressed General Scott, who ordered
him to report to General McClellan
and on the formal recommendation of
McClellan, President Lincoln, on the
2;m ot .September, 1801, commissioned
Hancock i Brigadier-General of Vol
unteers. IIo was assigned to a brigade
iu me division oi uenerai uaiay nntl,
and reported for duty at Chain Bridge,
Virginia, in the Army of tho Potomac,
Ho wa? engaged in tho battles of
Warwick Court House. Williamsburg,
South Mountain, Antiotam, Chancellors
ville, Gettysburg, and nmnv others.
It was at Gettysburg Hancock again
loomc 1 up before tbe country as a hero.
When he arrived on tho field he found
thn army in confusion, and a retreat
I 1 1 . 1 t t M . a
nan aireauy uegun. naming somo

he threw his wholo energy into tho
battle and checked tho enemy. Of
General Hancock's individual action at
Gettysburg it would require a volume
to tell. His w.n reallv tho action of
the army, and Round Top, Gulp's Hill
and Cemetery Heights were his crea
tions Ho sent word to General Meade
that that was tho place f fight, and
seizing tho favorable positions, with
tbe eye of a consummate general, hung
on lo mem with the advance until
Meade brought up tho whole army

Ho was wounded at Gettysburg and
did not recover from his wound until
December, 18G3, when, nlthough still
quito lame, he reported for duty, and
was pent North to recruit his corps. He
was tendered a leception at Indenen
denco Hall by tho citizens of Philndcl
phia, and received tho hospitalities of
the citizens of Boston, Albany and
New oik. In March, 1801, he re
joined his conn and participated in tho
uaiuo oi mo wilderness with Urant,
Ho was a prominent leader all
through tho war and has ever sinco
tharcd tho honors of the victory with
other great soldiers.
In 1870 ho was a strong favorite of
a largo portion ot tho JJernocrntio
party for the Presidential nomination.
Tho obvious btreiiL'th of Samuel J.
Tilden pointed to him. however, and
ho was nominated. Four yoars later
his name was again considered. Tho
delegate from tins state wero almost a
unit tor his nomination, and Senator
William A, Wallace who waa a delo-
galo at largo iu tho convention, assum
ed the management of tho canvass in
his behalf. His name was presented
to thu convention by Hon. Daniel
Doughrriy, of Philadelphia, and after
an active and interesting 6trugglo ho
was nominated. The content was one
of extraordinary epiiit aud carpuatucss.

Salt Lake Citv, Feb. 7. -This

C. Cannon, of tho Mormon First Presi
dency. Ilis supposed latest "polyga
mous wifo, who had avoided service of
a summons heretofore, and other per
sons wcro Bubpa'nacd to appear "and
testify before the grand jury. United
States District Attorney Dickson offers
a reward of' 8500 for tho capture of
Cannon. Tho Territorial Supremo
Court has rendered a decision sustain
ing the conviction of Apostle Lorenzo
Snow of unlawful cohabitation. The
Court reoiles that Snow, in Nativoo,
first illegally married two women at
oim ceremony, and tho contract, there
fore, was null and void.
Ho then married successively seven
other women, nil of whom ho supports
and holds out to tho world as bis wives.
This is shown by tbo testimony, while,
at tho same time, ho dwells regularly
with Minnie, his latest polygamous
wife, who has a 3-raonth-old child.
Tho Court says this is one of tho most
flagrant cases of polygamy in the terri
tory and thnt no error was mado in
convicting Snow. The Court also sus
tains the conviction of Brigham Young
Hampton of conspiring to establish
disreputable houses for tho purpose of

says tho testimony disclosed a wicked
and disgraceful conspiracy, which
must bo condemned by all.
The Jobbers' War.
Tho country will note with interest
tho progress of tho jobbers' war
against honest government by com
bined and desperate assaults iipon the
President and Cabinet.
Tbo Pacific Railroad ring, hitherto
so powerful that it could cither defeat
or evade legislation requiring it to oo
count to tuo government for the mill
ions it justly owes, bowed to necessity
whenever Cleveland's election was de
clared. Then, for tho first time, tho
government was informed that the ac
counts as stated would bo fettled; but
the railroad jobbers havo net forgiven
the power that compels them to deal
honestly with the government.
The steamship lobby and jobbers are
fervent in their assaults against the ad
ministration because Postmaster Vilas
refused to divide 400,000 among them
appropriated to be used in bis discre
tion under the law. Heretofore such a
conditional appropriation was an as
sured payment to the steamship lobby
and jobbers, and they aro frantic in
their hostility to a Caliin"t that refuses
to pay out publio mouev oxoent when
uieiiny required ty law.

Senators and organs who assail tho Sec

A Political Crime,
Wo havo received from tho publish
er, William S. Goltsbergcr 11 Murray
street, M. Y. n book entitled "A Politi
cal Crime," tho history of tho great
fraud of 1870, by A. M. Gibson, prico
81.50. Tho Philadelphia Times of
Nov. 14th 1885, says of it:
"It Is a book of over 400 pages, and
presents the only connected and com
plcto history of tho political fraud of
1870-7 that has been given to tho
country. It is now nn accepted fact
in our political history that Samuel J.
Tilden aud Thomas A. Hendricks
wero elected President and Vice-President
in 1870, and denied tho offices to
which the people choso them by a sys
tem of forgery, perjury, and fraud, that
stand out hi singleness of infamy iu
the whole political annals of the nation.
Partisan necessities havo mado feeble
defense of or excuse, for tbo enmo n
galnft the people and their govern
merit, but there is now little attempt,
even amoug regulation partisans, to
deny tho fraud that made Rutherford
B. ll'iyes President.
"Mr. Gibson is better equipped for
the task of crystallizing the lncts of
tbo great fraud of 1870-7 into history
than any other writer in the country.
He was intimately associated with
those who battled against tho crime
step by step ( he is a trained journal
ist ; lie is 'tireless as ho is ablo and
skillful in gathciing and grouping
facts, and his minute knowlcdgo ot the
general political movements of tho day,
made him specially competent to wrilo
the history that now bears his name.
It is a most careful, methodical, and
exhaustive presentation of tho whole
conspiracy nnd crime, from its incep
tion through all the sinuous stages of
progress to its final consummation :
and he has fortified every material
point by documentary testimony that
forbids dispute. It is, in short, a pic
ture to life of the great political crime
of the nation, and it is so complete and
so well fortified that there can be no
answer to it and no need for any
supplemental work in tho futtue.
"Theio aro few intelligent American
citizens who can read Mr. Gibson'?
book without being startled at the
magnitude and desperation of the
fraud, even with' the general recollect
ion of it that remains with them, for
when given chapter by chapter it pre
sents such studied, far-reaching, and
vcrilous crime that it can be appreci
ated only by following it fiom its
slimy birth to its festering completion.
There are two men whose names are
now seldom lisped by tho American
people, who will greatly regret the
publication of Mr. Gibson's book.
But gladly ns tho American people
would forget Rutherford B. Hays and
William A. Wheeler, and gladly as
they would be forgotten, the truth of
history demands that a fraud that le
vcrsed tbe nation's popular verdict of
a quarter of a million majority, shall
be so conspicuous in history as to
make its repetition impossible. Mr.
Gibson has done that work and ho has
done it well."
Anything to Beat a EailroaO.
In speaking of tho movement of the
general passenger agents to head off
tho ticket-scalpers, the New York
Daily Indicator says:
"Tho railroads have not adopted the
rule requiring limited tickets to bo used
only for continuous train rides, without
excellent reasous. Tho roads have no
desire to prevent passengers from stop
ping over at places along their lines.
On tho contrary, they havo heretofore
made it as convenient as possible for
people to do this very thing. But
how has the traveling publio shown its
appreciation ot the courtesy i aimply
by trying, in every possible way, to
swindle the railroads whenever they
saw a chance. A man wants to go to
iultaIo what does he doT liuy?
ticket to Cbieugo, and when he gets to
Buffalo sells tbe unused portion of his
ticket to a scalper. Iho railroad
doubly cheated. First it carries the
original swindler to Buffalo for less
than it takes a passenger who is too
honest to indulge in tho luxury of,
cheating tho railroad ; and, second, it
carries another man from Buffalo to
Chicago at less than the regular rate.
Ihe posted traveler, who cannot
arrange to buy more tickets than ho
intends to use, uever thinks of going
to the railroad office for thy tickets he
wants. IIo patronizes tho scalper, and
helps that one to skin the railroad.
So it goes, the railroads by an exten
sion of courtesy have beeu victimized
and robbed by tho traveling public.
The ovcryday traveler at all times has
bis eyis open to tbe chance to beat tbo
public. And so widely has the in
tluence spread that even sjpid, honest
going people, who travel only occasion
ally, havo come to think it quite the
thing to deal entirely with scalpers
and assist in whatever swindle may bo
necessary to effect a saving for them
selves of a fow dollars. We are glad
that tho railroads have decided at last
to protect themselves from tho dis
houestv of people who claim to be
more than lespectabls."
