Cleveland, Smith, and The Soldier.
in lvl, when drover Cleveland
was elected President of the I'liited
States, tlu uncovering of great
frauds in the Republican party was
promised. The people waited long
and patiently for the evidence of
fraud, hut none caino. In 1SSS, Mr.
Cleveland, having failed to find any
of the. frauds that were reported to
exist under the Republican adminis
tration, was defeated by Benjamin
Harrison. In IfW!, the same cry of
mismanagement was raised. It had
iU effects and Grovr,Cleveland was
"The American Soldier"
Is the name of anew monthly pub
lication from the press of the Nation
Publishing Company, Mailand Jk
pres -Building, New York. It is
bound in an artistic lithographed
cover, upon which is a Continental
Soldier, 177(1, and Union Sohiier,
claoping hands, surrounded
by the pictures of the heroes of
Atueiica's four great wars, Washing-
ton, 1776 1 Andrew Jackson, 181'J ;
Scott, 181(1, and Grant, 1W55. The
significant sentenco on the cover is
'Tensions are not alms."
The tirst number contains a most
remarkably natural, home-like pic
ture of Abraham Lincoln, done by
some newly discovered colored
photograph the picture is 10 x 133
inches, and is so excellent as to
merit an expensive frame. Each
month a similar portrait of one of
the Heroes of the Civil War will be
triven. Th publication is most
beautiful. The contents will delight
every pensioner, honest veteran and
Republican. Cleveland and his as
sociates in the Cabinet are unhesi
tatingly nrrainged for the evident
malice exhibited toward the loyal
soldiers of the Union. The charge
of fraud in the pensions of the vet
erans is repudiated with a degree of
vigor which is absolutely astonish
ing in force. War is carried with
no faltering footsteps in the camp
of the enemy. "Tin; proof is the
thing," nay "The American Soldier."
The pensioners and veterans huve
in this publication a champion of no
doubtful ability or devotion. The
publication contains much of inter
est for all, and w ill arouse a deMic
in the public to hear the pensioners'
side of this much advertised subject
of pensions, and alleged frauds, nnd
as "The American Soldier" proposes
to give that side of the case, and
break a lance for the Union Veteran,
we predict a large circulation for the
new journal, especially as the price
is so reasonable, only sl.ih) per
annum M cents per copy.
Pension Payments Stopped.
Washington, July 10. The Pen
sion Bureau has not i lied a great
many pensioners throughout the
country who are drawing pensions
under the aetof June 27, 18'JO, known
as the Dependent Pension set. that
payment of their pensions will be
suspended for sixty days, during
which time they are required to
show cause why they should con
ti'.ue to draw pensions. The test-
j nr idinvOnvmnhintl Muila.1 (win I f -.uv. v
tie people looked for the predicted1 1"? - 'J
revelations. They are looking for
them now. None have come as yet,
itud none will come save the cry of
fraudulent pensions.
Mr. Cleveland never was a friend
of the American soldier. He thought
more of his own safety than he did
of the safety of the Nation. He
eared little so long as he was out of
bulh t range. He did not enlist, as
did our boys, and wju n drafted he
sent a substitute. When he became
President he seemed to have it in
for the soldier from the start, and
his last crowniugact was the selec
tion of a licbeliu the person of Hoke
Smith, of Atlanta, deorgia, to mis-
iutcrprct our pension laws, having
n host of honorably discharged un
ion soldier Democrats in the North
to btand back and witness the dis
mantling of our Nation's honor.
Tluro are frauds on the pension
list, that is a fact no one will dis
pute, but is it just and right to have
the horizontal reduction made in
pensions that was promised us on
the tariff? Is the union soldier the
only barnacle that is clinging to our
Ship of State How many of the
men who denounce the pensioner
would to-day take the risk of the
"Death Anglo" at Spottsylvania, the
"Bloody Lane" at Antietam. or the
perils of a campaign in the Wilder
ness for all the millions that have
been paid out to the Union soldiers
iu pensions '.' Not one in ten thous
and. It is time to call a halt. Let us
not forget the Union soldier so soon.
Let Mr. Cleveland and his adminis
tration purge the pension list of
frauds, but let us not stand back
and give our word of consent ton
horizontal reduction, regardless of I
merit, as Hoke Smith has commenc
ed undtr the sanction of Mr. Cleve
land because of the wish of the
Democrats in the South who placed
him in position to do so.
certificate of a reputable physician,
attested by two witnesses, that the
pensioner is precluded from ac
tive labor owing to injuries or dis
ability not the result of his own vie
ious habits. In case no attention is
paid to the department notification
within sixty days the pensioner will
be dropped from the roll. On the
other hand, should the necessary
certificate, properly drawn up and
signed, be forwarded to the Pension
Bui can the pensioner will be re-
piested to appear before the local
board of medical examiners.
This action is pursuant to the re
cent ruling of Secretary Smith
The board of review appointed to
carry into effect the decision is now
going over all of the cases of June
27, 1S!)0, probably 100,000 in number,
and selecting those cases which show
in the record that the pensioner
may not be incapacitated for man
ual labor. Under Secretary Smith's
ruling the Department holds that a
man who can work should not draw
a pension for total disability.
It is estimated at the Pension Of
fice, although the work has but re
cently been 'begun, that over one
thousand suspensions have already
been made.
New School Sooks.
The state having adopted the free
text book system the country as
well as the town nnd city schools
will bo soon over-run by book agents
soliciting directors to purchase their
books. Among these book agents
there will be many sharpers for
whom the director must bo on his
guard. Already a number of these
oily-tougued indiwduals have been
circuiting through the various towu
ships seeking to securo orders by
misrepresenting facts.
To be on the safe side, all improb
able storieB should bo ignored and
a determined ottbrt should bo made
to adopt none but the best books as
presented by reliable firms and re
sponsible agents. This will require
a careful consideration and a little
delay, but iu view , of the object to
be attained, that of adopting a lino
of books that will best instruct the
pupils, the study and time will be
well spent.
