But this is no comfort to Nevada. S ie will be calling tor legislative relict Ufore long. The pvoslou bureaa says the ritte turg Post, Lab jnst removed another important check to the indiscrimiLate award of petisiona by deciding that the dishonorable discharge of a soldier is to br to asking for and obtaining a pen sion. Under this ruling the deserter who was shot in the heel whl'.e running toward the enemy, or to the rear, may become one of the natioa'a wards, and assist in reducing the surp'.us. The de cision overrules the construction of the 1 tw by General Black, which made dis honorable discharge from the service a bar to a pension. That would seem to be common s-nsa. for the law provides a way o? correcting a dishonorable dis charge if It was undeserved and unjust. Another decision promulgated on Tuesday, although not so glaring as this one, will probably be of much greater effect in unloading the surplus by epeniDg wider than ever before the doors to applicants. Hitherto proof of the origin of disability was required from one commissioned officer or one orderly sergeant, while in Us absence the testimony of two private soldiers has been required. Tanner now pro claims that hereafter the evidence of the claimant and one private soldier is all that wiil be required. This opens the door to log-rolling, on the plau "you. swear Tor me and I'll swear for you." Tanner Bays "the boys have been kicking against the old rule all over this broad laud." Yes ; the boys urged on by the claim agents. In prac tice this new rule will be found most mischievous ; it is a temptation aud in centive to pf-rjory.

Tiie proportion under the loose rulings of lntly'a successors Dudley, Black and Tatiner has largely increased. It would not be too high tu put it now at one third. It is nearly 2o years since the close, of the war, and there are now between 400.00'J and 5U0.000 names on the pension roils calling for au ex penditure of S'JO.000,000 annually.

In spite of the strong and genera! tendency aeainst Prohibitory fanati cism the Rrpuplican Convention of Iowa was constrained to declare that "Prohibition Is he settled policy of the S:ate." upon which "there should De no step backward." Whatever may have been the reluct ance of many members of the Conven tion to make such a declaration of poli cy against the prevailing sentiment of the country, there was no alternative. Had they resolved In favor of repealing laws that are treated with contempt in a large portion of the State they would have been left in the lurch by their Prohibition allies, aud in that situation they would have called in vain to Her cules to help them. Had they taken refuse in silence they would have ins vited the same daDger. There were many Republicans in Iowa who predicted that no good to the party could come out of tbe pact with Prohibition and its advocates. But theat, Republicans are in too hopeless a minority to lead a successful move ment within tbe party in favor of High Iicense, and they have not sufficient independence to break with their politi cal associates on this issue. While they see that their worst predictions in re gard to the Prohibitory p tlicy have been realized, they compromise witn their owu conscieucees by tacitly consenting that so far as they are concerned the Prohibitionists shall have their sumptu ary laws and the rest of tbe people their beer rather than raise a disturbance in tho party that might serionsly interfere with their own political interests or ambition. In this situation the Prohibitory laws may remain on the stature books of Iowa long after they shall have been permitted to fall into "innocuous desue tude. " Yet there are evidences of growing discontent with the policy among the masses of the people of that State. Behind the moral and social aspects of the policy lurk som financial considerations or no femall weight. In the cii sand towns the taxpayers find their burdens increased by a loss of ! revenues which the license system sup- : piied, as well as by the costs incurred in more or less futile attempts to pun ish violators f.f the Prohibitory laws. ! o tnese considerations is added the uncomfortable fact that consumers must pay higher prices for beer and Whisky of worse quality in order to compensate the 6el!ers for their risks of prosecution. For the luxury of Prohi bition the citizen of Iowa must pay not only higher taxes for the support of municipal government. Out an extra tribute to the contraband dealer or town druggist every time he indulges In a drink or needs liquor for medicioal or mechanical purposes. It does not follow that there is likely to be a political revolution in Iowa in consequence of the popular dissatisfac tion with the Prohibition. lVopTe will often submit to seriius inconveniences rather than abandon their party associo ations and prejudices. As the admin istration of the Prohibitory law shall relax the demand for its repeal will grow fainter and fainter. In Maine it is probable that a larger majoiity would be given for Prohibition now than ever before, for the very reason ttat the law is treated with more geneial contempt than ever. Into this lamentable condi dion Iowa is rapidly falling in the fana'ical attempt to maintain" an im practicable code, and in the hypocrisy and cowardice of politicians. Phila. iitcorif. Stand Firm. The meS4ge cf President Cleveland end the Mills bill had very little to do with the Democratic defeat. If ihey had they furnish no ground for modify ing or takirg a step backward. The position was right and it is commanding more and more tbe approval of the peo ple. That unnecessary taxation Is un just ran be comprehended by any honest man, however ignorant. If the necessaries or lire can ru rhmmMi. in the home- of the ror , , 1 " ing the Government of needed revenue u-in- a movement to that end must meet with popular favor. The assurances so strongly given to the working classes that the election of Harrison would bring them bitter wage?, followed as it has keen by a jrer.eral scaling down of wages, cannot fail to open the eyes of thousands who had been blinded anrj de ceived by false pretence?. The multi plication of trusts and combines, which have either been originated or fostered by the high tariff, is having an influnce upon the public mind. The Democratic party has only to stand firmly upon the ground taken in the last national strag gie to win an easy victory in lSOi. If it wavers or falls back from its vantage ground it will d-serve defeat. So rapid has been the charge in public sentiment in Tavnr of the Democratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue only and a reduc tion of taxation to the economical needs of the Government that if the election were to take place now Cleveland would be elected by au overwhelming major ity.

Latest returns estimate the Ameri can wbeat crop of 1SS0 at 500 000 000 bushels, nearly So.000.0CH3 bushels in excess of the crop of last year. This will leave not less than 150.000 000 bushels of wheat for export. East year the exports of wheat and wheat flour amounted to 121,000,000 bushels notwithstanding the otstacles to the export trade that were created by specu lative operations in the Cuicago wheat pit. In the present favorably conditions the corn crop of this year promises to be enormous. Last year's yield of Indian corn was est i ma ed to be nearly 2,000 -000.000, bushels, and it is probable that it will be exceeded considerably by the crop of this year. Last year's exports of Indian corn metil mounted to but little more than 35.000.tKX), bushels.

Tbe manufacturers of jnte bagging for covering cotton bales enjoy the proN tection of a prohibitory doty on com peting products. Teat is to aaj. under Republicau policy a paternal governs ment by law compels tbe millions of American citizens who are engaged in growing cotton to buy their bagging of this little company o: ravored rich men. This is called protecting American In dus ry. The little group of rich monopolist last year rormea tnemseives into a Trust, shut up some of their mills, thereby throwing workmen out of em- ploymeut, and advanced the price of jute bHgainsr to an extent which im posed an additional tax of several mill ions of dollars on tbe growers and con sumers of cotton. Thus the "protection" of a few rich men involved tbe oppressive robbery of a multituJe of meu not rich. And that is what protection usually does. The planters this year have sought to protect themselves against this destruc tive "protection" by buying a cotton cloth bagging which the Southern cot ton mills make, for use in lieu of the jute. The mills have manufactured this batrgiag extensively and all the planters have bought their yearV sup ply. Now comes the news that the jute-baggies: manufacturers have se cured an alliance with the Liverpool Cotton Exchange authorities under which that Exchange peremptorily re fuses to "recngniz" cotton bales covered with cotton bagging. It is reported that tnis decision will tuin many of the cotton growers and pecuniarily iDjuie all of them. If bo. their 'Qir, or whatever injury thort of ruin they suffer, will be the direct con sequence and fruit of that policy of legislating for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many which is mis named "protection." Toe fact" in the case will hardly tend to stimulate the growth of the alleged Protectionist sen timent in the South. X. Y. World. Turning the llast als In. A negro in North Carolina 'he other day received his notice of appointment toapiacein the postal service, in the penitentiary, where he was serving a term for burglary, committed after his application was sent to the good Mr. Wanamaker. According to a dispatch to the Xew York Ti ihune of Monday. Henry Rakestraw, a nenro. ws recent ly appointed postmaster at Cheraw, S.n .. a town which, according lo the Gnzettter. has seven churches and two academies. "Early this week he went to Darilngton. a larger town, to get boudsmpn. After making vain efforts in this direction he became disgusted and got drunk. He was s.kid arrested and taken to the guardhouse, where in default of 510 he was sent to jail for 10 days. A resioent of Darling on tele graphed the facta to tbe Postmaster General. Mr. Wanamaker did not re ply, and finally the Democrats opened a subscription, the fine was paid and i.he new appointee was given a ticket home." There seems to be a purpose in appointing negroes to the postal ser vice at the : South to get hold of the most ot jectionable material. A good many jail t.irds and others of the crim inal class have alsi crept into the pub lic service at the North. But the peo ple must rot be too exacting.

In his own State of Iodima Mr. Harrison eeems to have had an nn usal run of bd luck, in getting hold of disreputab'e characters for public cflie-e.

VK"'illon 01 .lnal Fmc,I iKisiDi? an enm session of the Letrista- tnre was in a great measure justified. When further reports made it appear that the work was nearly done with an expenditure of about 3Xj.000. the Gov ernor's views Bee rued to receive a fur ther demonstration. Had th frta continued to support the Executive's position his triumph iu that respect would, in great measure, have offset his ddaforiness at he height of the crisis. But a very different state ot facts is appearing now. I com-s to the public knowledge that 5300 000 was the limit of the loan. It is stated that this sum is exhausted and the people of Johns town very pertinently point out that the work is not done. If the work was worth eommcLcinir it was worth finish ing. To Lave it half or three-rmartr done will be Deither creditable to the Mate administration nor satisfactory to the public. With the task properly eomoleted there will be an equitable claim upon the Legislature to discharge the debt incurred in do'rg it. If it is left undone if can hard y be regarded as anything more valid than an illustra tion of incompetence. Yet there is no way apparent by which the work can be done except to revert to the plan which the Governor rejected nearly three months ago, and call together the body authorized to make appropriations. Failing that the Mate can leave the ruined town to struggle with the question or removing the debris for itself. Piuunj Dis patch. A .Narrow .Margin to Work on. The death of Congressman Laird makes the Republican majority so slen der in the House of Representatives tbat in order to maintain a quorum for the transaction or partisan business every Republican member will have to be in his seat. This consideration throws a sort of mildew on the extra session programme. The first business or the extra session wonld be to set in motion the machinery for throwing out Democratic members wbose seats are to be contested. There are eighteen or twenty coutes's to be settled, and it is essential if the Repub ican majority is to be made safe that the Committee on E'ections shall make an early start with its work. It goes without saying that the Republican con testants will be counted in without any aerious consideration of the sta'e of the poll.

HhlktT Kill. Ilow often are we yet to be told that whiskey kills ? Arsenic kill ; opium kills, and au do hundreds of other jtood remedies kill if abused instead of used. But ask the question, "Will whiskey cure ?" "Yea !" Is the positive reply of tbe most eminent phy sicians of all the land. Disease steals into your system like a sneak thief into your house, and often by neglecting a bad cold, we end our days in lingering, and wishing for health when. Indeed, one bottid of Fur WAisfev or Crandy would have cured ine cold. Such coodi mav lm j tan be found at ilax Kleins, H2 federal street, Allegheny.
