Onl Nineteen Democrats Endorsed

Harrlsburg. Pa., Sept 30. Hop
Robert E. Pattison, Democratic can
didate for governor, lives in a glass
house and should therefore avoid
throwing stones. He la an official
with a political and a partisan paat
It Is for this reason that almost to
to lbSCTi"thTtJiW"XSue,
amy in any war. sad who dies la any
eoanty of the state without leaving sof-
ncieat means for Ms burial, Imaedl
fttaJr becomes "a ehargoHpoa th eoanty
tor his burial to the amount of fifty
wMiaus. ns may never nave aad a
residence in the county; he may even
never have been a cltiten of the state:
he may not have been wounded, or be
come diseased or disabled in the pub
lie Bervice; he may die as the result
of bis rices or his crimes, by accident
or by hlswn hand; he may have en
joyed and Vasted the bounty of the
Federal government or the state for
years; he may die in the perpetration
of a1 felony, or be a criminal fleeing the
Justice of another jurisdiction; but no
matter who he is or what he has been,
if he served In the army or navy of the
United States In any war and dies des
titute In any county, that county must
bury htm at an expense of thirty-five
dollars, and erect a headstone over his
grave at a cost of fifteen dollars. .
MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
"A destitute soldier of the Mexican
a man the members of the Grand
Amy of Pennsylvania are opposing j who enlisted from the state of
his candidacy. They can never forget New Jersey, and who all his life has
some of his actions when he was gov
ernor.
In 1885 the legislature passed a bill
whose object it was to prevent hon
orably discharged soldiers and sap
ors from being buried In a pauper's
grave. Governor Pattison vetoed It
He wrote a veto message that will live
in the memory of the old soldiers as
long as they live. To the credit of
house and senate they passed this bill
over the governor's veto. Only 19
Democrats dared to stand by their
governor. The bill, House Bill No. 10,
was entitled:
TO BURY THE SOLDIER HEROES.
"An act authorizing and requiring
the county commissioners of each
county in the state to appoint a suffi
cient number of suitable persons In
each township or ward of their county,
at the expense of the county, to look
after, bury and provide a headstone
for the body of any honorably dls
charged soldier, sailor or marine who
served In the army or navy of the
United States during the late rebellion
or any preceding war, and shall here
after die in their county leaving In
sufficient means to defray tha neces
sary burial expenses."
Governor Pattison, then In the ex
ecutive chair, wrote this veto message:
"Harrlsburg, May 8. TSS:.
"To the House of Representatives of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
uentiemen I herewith return.
without my signature, House Bill No.
10, entitled 'An act authorizing and
requiring the county commissioners of
each county in the state to appoint a
sufficient number of suitable persons
la each township and ward of their
county, at the expense of the county,
to look after, bury and provide a head
stone for the body of any honorably
discharged soldier, sailor or marine
who served In tbe army or navy of the
United States during the late rebel
lion or any preceding war, and shall
hereafter die in their county leaving
Insufficient means to defray the neces
sary burial expenses.'
"The bill requires the commissioners
of every county In the state to ap
point In every ward and township in
their respective counties such number
of persons as they shall deem 'sum
clent,' who shall hold their offices dur
ing the pleasure of tbe commissioners,
and ho charged with the following du
ties: To 'look after and cause to be
burled In a decent and respectable
manner, In any cemetery or burial
ground within the state, other than
those used exclusively for the burial
of the pauper dead, the bodies of
honorably discharged soldiers, sailqrs
or marines who served In the army or
navy of the United States In the late
rebellion or. any preceding war, and
who may die leaving Insufficient
means to pay ror their burial. For
the cost of every such burial, to the
amount of $35, the county commla
sloners are required to draw warrants
upon the treasury of the county.' Af
ter such burial, the commissioners aro
required to erect over every such
grave a headstone of such design and
material as they think proper, in
scribed with the name of the person
and tbe organization In which he
served; and for the payment the ex
penso of every such headstone the
commissioners are authorized to draw
a warrant to fhe amount of $1?, which
shall be paid out Of the funds of the
county In which said soldier, sailor or
marlno died.'
'This bill Is a remarkable exhibi
tion of the unwarranted and prepos
terous extent to which n most lauda
ble and patriotic sentiment may be
carried. That principle which Induces
governments to pension and provide
for injured and destitute soldiers, Is
founded in wise policy as well as dic
tated by the spirit of a liberal human
ity. The United States and our own
commonwealth have carried this prin
ciple into their laws with no niggardly
hand.
DONE ENOUGH FOR THE SOLDIERS
"Thoughtful patriots have not hesi
tated to say that all has been done In
this direction that the most generous
and grateful of governments ought to
do consistently with common prudence
and wise public policy, and that the
limit has been reached beyond which
liberality will become extravagance
and benevolence breed abuse. The bill
herewith returned Is a striking proof
of the justice of such warnings, and
an illustration of the thoughtlessness
and crudity that may characterize leg
islation enacted under the pressure of
misguided charity. By this hill, any
been a resident of that state, may go
Into Philadelphia and die there; or one
from the state of New York may wan
der Into and die In any county on our
northern border, and in each ease the
county In which the soldier dies be
comes liable for an expenditure of fifty
dollars for his burial. And so of des
titute soldiers coming into our com
monwealth from any other state, no
matter how they come or what caused
their destitution, so that they get Into
our state and die here, this bill operates
to charge the counties which may be so
unfortunate as to be the places of their
death with the cost of their burial.
Could any bill be more void of Intel
ligent principle or based upon so little
reason? No guard of any kind Is pro
vided to protect the counties from im
position, and no account whatever is
taken of any of the many circumstances
that in the most liberal pension laws
that were ever enacted are always made
an Indispensable condition for the en
joyment of their bounty.
OUTSIDE SOLDIERS AS OUTCASTS.
"It Is impossible to conceive of any
reason why a soldier who was never
credited to Pennsylvania; who never
reflected any honor upon her arms;
who never contributed by Industry,
citizenship or otherwise to her pros
perity, Bbould by the mere accident of
death within her borders be entitled,
no matter what his character of life
may have been, to the burial this bill
provides at the expense of one of the
counties. The lowly citizen of our
state, who, though not a soldier, has
spent all his life within our common
wealth, supporting her Institutions and
dignifying her reputation by virtue,
sobriety and industry, and who through
misfortune dies a pauper, can claim no
such privilege as this bill gives Indis
criminately to strangers of whatever
character. He must receive a pauper's
burial. It Is quite possible to conceive.
If this bill should become a law, that
neighboring states might rapidly be
relieved of much of their unproductive
soldier population to the marked in
crease of that class in our own state.
"The machinery provided by the bill
for carrying out Its provisions also calls
for notice. It authorizes and makes
it the duty of tbe county commission
ers to appoint an indefinite number of
persons in every ward and township
of the state, who are to be the officers
having In charge the burials In their
respective wards and townships. This
means the creation of many hundreds
possibly thousands of officials; and
while the bill provides that they shall
serve without compensation, yet ex
perience shows that official duties in
variably entail official expense, and it
is not probable that these functionaries
would be an exception to the rule.
Apart from this, however, It Is always
an objection when legislation creates
an undue number of officers, which this
bill undoubtedly does.
"It may well be questioned, also.
whether the provisions of this measure
fall within the scope of the legislative
power. It will be observed that it does
not appropriate the money of the state,
but attempts to direct the bounty of
the counties. It commands that cer
tain political sub-divisions of the state
shall perform certain charitable acts
not generally, as In establishing a poor
house or the like, which Is an exercise
of the general ponce power of tho state,
but specially, In a special manner, with
reference to a special class and at a
special definite cost. Without now de
ciding the question, the executive
would suggest that the bill requires
considerable stretch of legislative pow
er to justify Its principle.
"ROBT. E. PATTISON."
As stated above, out of the 250 mem
bers of the house and senate, only 19
of them dared to follow their Demo
cratic governor in upholding his at
tack on tbe Civil War veterans.
Hon. Robert E. Pattison Is today
asking the suffrages of Union soldiers.
Can they forget this action and the
above veto message T

say the police, that Craft, who had
been making the rounds of the Ten
derloin, Incautiously displayed a large
amount of money In the Empire and
was killed by one of the waiters,
known as Thomas Tobln, for the pur
pose of robbery. The police also say
that knock-out drops were first admin
istered and that then the victim was
dragged Into the basement and klUed
with s cleaver.
The odor of burning flesh attracted
the attention of the occupants of the
upper part of the house and led to
the discovery by detectives of the nude
and headless body of a man Is the
basement The charred head was dis
covered a few minutes later in the
furnace, in which a fire had heen re
cently made, with the evident Inten
tion of destroying all possibility of
Identification of tbe remains. Later
the body was Identified by Walter
Craft, of Glen Cove, as that of his
father.
Tobln, who la charged with the
murder, was caught hiding In the
house. The police also arrested Al
exander McAnerney, the bartender;
Robert Kelly, a Jorter In a Chinese
restaurant In the building, and sev
eral women who were known to be
frequenters of tbe place. The police
said that Tobln's real name Is Thomas
Kelly, and that he Is a brother of the

LAURA BIGGAR TO BE ARRESTED
Charged With Conspiracy to Get Mil
lionaire's Estate.
Long Branch. N. J., Sept 27. The
light of Laura Blggar, the former ac
tress, for the $2,000,000 estate of
Henry M. Bennett, came to a sudden
and dramatic ending yesterday before
Justice Wilbur A. HelBley here. The
claimant through counsel, abandoned
the suit and announced that she would
be satisfied with the 60 per cent, of
the estate given her by the will.
Hardly had this been done than coun
sel for the heirs opposing the Blggar
claims showed that they had been
more than prepared for this step, and
warrants charging conspiracy were
served on Samuel Stanton, the former
Justice of the peace of Hudson county,
who testified that he had performed
the marriage ceremony between Miss
Blggar and the Pittsburg millionaire,
and Dr. C. C. Hendrlck, at whose sani
tarium In Bayonne it was alleged that
Miss Blggar's child was born. A search
is now in progress for Miss Blggar
herself that she may also be presented
to the grand jury to answer a similar
charge. Stanton and Dr. Hendrlck are
now In Jail at Froehold la default of
$5,000 ball.
Navy Has 100,000 Tons of Coal.
Washington, Sept. 29. There la no
danger of the failure of the projected
great naval manoeuvres In the Carib
bean Sea next winter for lack of coal,
thanks, to the foresight of Admiral
Bradford, chief of the equipment divi
sion. He has at command about 100,
OHO tons of coal, distributed through
out the coaling stations and navy
yards, with Iron clad contracts behind
him, which Insure tho naval vessels
In this country an adequate supply at
all times, as long as there Is any to
be had. Moreover, not only was the
coal purchased at a low figure, rang
ing from $2.50 to $3.25 per ton, but the
contract binds tbe coal dealers to de
liver coal for tho future needs of the
navy at about the same figures.
