Shout* and Orlea Awake tho Echoes
of tho Hall Where the Remains Lay
In State—The Doors Kept Open till
11 O'clock at Night and the Rush
Kept Up to the End.
Lowell, Mass., Jan. 15. — At Gen. j
Butler’s home, Belvidere Hill, st 9:30 j
o'clock this morning private funeral serv
ices were held. liey. Dr. A. St. John
Chambre of St. Ann’s Episcopal church
read the office for the dead. The body was
in the drawing room. The stars and stripes
were not on the coffin during the private
funeral servioes. President Harrisons
wresth and some flowers were laid on the
coffin A detachment of comrades of Post
42, Grand Army of the Republio, escorted
the remains to Huntington hall, where the
body was to lie in state. A great crowd
was waiting to be admitted. The ooffin
was placed In the center of the floor and
grand army men guarded the casket.
A 810 CROWD PRESENT.
When the orowd was admitted to the hall
they almoet carried the doors otf tbs lunger.
They struggled upstairs and bowled over
the police, who tried to restrain them.
Shouts and cries awoke the echoes of the
hall where the dead mau lay. Huntington
hall, whenever Gen. Butler appeared there
in life, saw turbulent scenes, but those of
to-day surpassed anything ever seen before
at the old hall. Down in the street thou
sands pressed forward when they saw
the doors open. All the afternoon
a steady stream of people pourod in,
but the crowds that wanted to get in
did not diminish. The exit was on Shat
tuek street, and a stream of people poured
through that door. No impression could
be made in the mass that clamored fil
ed mission at the other side of the hall,
[.ate in tbs afternoon the doors closed and
the officers had an hour’s rest. It was de
signed to close the hall at 5 o’clock until
to-morrow, but at fl o’clock the doors were
opened again. This time the people were
beaten into lines and more order was
maintained up to 11 o’olook, when the final
oloslng was made.
PAY OF THE OPERATORS.
The Baltimore and Ohio Cutting Down
Its Force.
Baltimore. Md., Jan. 15.—The Amer
ican notes that when D. G. Ramsay, grand
chief of the Order of 1-tallway Telegraphers,
and the members of the grievance commit
tee, conferred with the Baltimore and Ohio
officials in November last in reference to an
lucrease of wages, the oommittee insisted
that no operator ought to be paid less than
-145 psr month. The officials agreed, but
urged the eornmlttee to reflect that if the
pay of an operator was placed at $45 as the
minimum the result might be disastrous to
many operators, as there were at least
3d per cent, of the offices where a teleg
rapher was uot needed, and that, accord
ing to the proposed rule, as the operator
could not work for the company as agent
alone, he would In all probability be thrown
out of employment. The committee re
fused to yield and the rule wa< placed in
schedule. The new schedule went Into of
feot Dec. 1, and the payrolls were tent to
the division so cerintendents at the end of
the month. One superintendent found bit
pay roll bad inoreased nearly SI,OOO, al
though he had not raised the salary of
a single employe.
CHARGED FOR EXTRA TIME.
Further investigation showed that many
agents whose duties as telegraph operators
euded at 7 o’clock in the evening but who
bad to return to the office to sell tickets for
an 8:30 o’clock train for example, had
charged the company for extra time, al
though they bad not been required to do
any telegraphing. The agent-telegraphers
or 'telegrapber-agen.* where not needed
have been discharged, and men having no
knowledge of telegraphy have been substi
tuted as agents at the rates of wages ruling
in the auti-scheduls terras.

The Frlest Neither Condemned Nor
Ratraoted.
New York, Jan. 15.— Rev. Dr. Edward
McGlynn said to-night that in his letter to
Mgr. Satolli, he had neither condemned nor
retraoted the eoonomio doctrine that he bad
been teaching. “And yet," he says, "thanks
to the enlightened judgment end noble !
heart of Pope Leo XIII. and tbe willing
readiness of hie worthy representative,
Archbishop Satolli, in oarrylng out his in
structions, I have been relieved of ecclesias
tical censure and fully restored to my
priestly ministry."
"Now that, as is made clear by the pub
lished statement of Archbishop Satolli, we
are relieved from the restraint of certain
considerations of prudence and delicacy, I
am only too happy to publish the letter
which I presented to the apoatolio delegate
and his acceptance of which was immedi
ately followed by the declaration of the re
moval of the ecolesiastical censure, aud by
the publication of which to reaffirm the
sentiments which it contains. The letter ia
as follows:
“MoKsioNon—l am very nappy to learn that
it has Ueen judged that there is nothing con
trary to the Catholic doctrine In the doctrine
taught by me aa it was explained by me in the
exposition of the same which I sent to your
grace, and I rejoioe that you are prepared to re
move fhe ecclesiastical ‘’ensure.and I assure you
that I have never said, and I would never say
consciously, a word contrary to tbe teaohinga
of the church and of the Catholic see, to which
teachings and notably to those oontained in tne
encyclical return nnrarum, I give and have ever
given full adherence, and if whatsoever word
may have ever esoaped me which might seem
not entirely conformable to those teachings, I
would lixeto recall it or interpret inasenae con
formable to them. 1 have not consciously failed
in the respect due the authority of the holy see.
but If whatsoever word may have ever escaped
me not conformable to the respect due to it, I
should hs the first to regret and to recall it As
to a journey to Rome, I will make it within
three or four months, if the matter be not
otherwise delermined hy the holy father. lam
your grace's very obedient sertant,
"Edward McGlysm."
“Dec. 28, 1892."
“If, in due time," Dr. MoGlynn says,
"tbe holy father should express a wish to
see me. 1 shall be very happy indeed to
comply with bis wishes to have that occa
sion to thank him in person for his kindly
and euiightensd judgment and action iu
my behalf.
"In the statement presented to Areh
b:shop Satolli there is no minimizing, ex
plaining away or departing from the dro
trine of the United Labor platform or tbe
Anti-Poverty Nooiety, as 1 have been teach
ing the doctrine for years."
A LETTER FROM THU POP3.
He Confers His Benediction on the
Faculty of the University.
Washington, Jan. 15.—Thera ie still
another interesting development of an im
portant movement on the part of tbe
Catholic church which has resulted in the
eitablishment of a permanent apostolic
legation in Washington. Early in Decem
ber the professors of the faculty of theology
ot the Catholic University of Ameriea in
Washington city transmitted through Car
dinal Rampolla to the holy father a joint
letter expressing their devotion to the per
son of Leo XIII. aud their thanks for the
sanding of an apostoiio delegate to tbe
United States and for tbe selection of the
university as his place of residence. The

MEXICO’S REVOLUTION.
A Possibility That It Was a Blind
Gotten Up by Smugglers.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 15.— The
Picayune's San Antonio special soys: "The
revolutionary cloud which has been hang
ing over the Mexican border lias csosed to
be visible. Though the United z States
troops, Uuited States marshal and the
Texas rangers have been scouting continu
ously since the trouble began, no revolu
tionists have been located for two weeks.
Several iudivlduals have been arretted, but
to nil appearances the revolution has
vanished. It is now reported with some
aspect of credibility that the movement
was merely a grand smuggling ruse to at
tract the Mexioau troops to the lower bor

merchandise was smuggled over the river a
little below Eagle Pass, Tex. Names are

SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1893—TEN PAGES.
THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
An Attempt to Be Made to Do Some
thing In the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 15,—The week prom
isee to be eventful in tbe Senate. Save the
passage of the quarantine bill tbe Senate
has accomplished very little, and not one of
the annual appropriation bills has been
passed. Tbe oommittee on order of busi
ness has determined that something must
be done to advance the publio business. It
was at the suggestion ef Mr. Sherman,
chairman of that oommittee, that
Mr. Washburn gave nottoe that
be would ask the Senate to sit next
Wednesday until tbe anti-option bill is dis
posed of. That this can be done without a
bitter struggle is not expeotsd. What will
follow the anti-option bill will be deoided
by the oeuinittee on order of business be
fore Wednesday. At pgesent the indica
tions are that priority will lie betweeueome
of the interstate commerce bills, if Mr.
Cullom is able to resume hie duties, the
Nicaragua oanal bill and perhaps the reso
lution to repeal the silver purchase aot.
Mr. Feffer of Kansas is uown for a speech
on limitation of tbe presidential term, and
Mr. Morrill of Vermont on the McGarrahan
bill, both for to-morrow.
in the house.
The majority have mapped out a big
programme for the House. To-morrow is
suspension day. Efforts will he made to
pass tbe Raum pension office report and the
bill for the election of senators by the peo
ple by a two-thirds vote.
A majority of tbe rules oommittee hat
decided to allot Tuesday to bill! cctniug
from the judioiary committee. Wednesday
to the immigration bill: Thursday and Sat
urday to bills originating with the commit
tee on foreign aud interstate oomtneroe; Fri
day, under tbe regular rules, is private bill
day. There is some opposition to the im
migration bill and it is hardly ilfcely that
one day will suffioe for its passage. The
friends of tbe quarantine bill reported by
tbe oommittee on foreign and interstate
commerce, which bill it it couteaded meets
ail the evils as to ohelera, wtuah the immi
gration bill was designed to remedy, ore
opposed to the immigration bill. The quar
antine bill was antagonized very strongly
by tbe state quarantine officers of New
York, but at least part of tbis opposition
has been withdrawn. There is a proba
bility of tome trouble for each of these bills
from opposition of members who favor
either ot the two measures.
Tbe commerce oommittee has a formid
able list of measures which it hopes to pass,
headed by the omnibus light house hill and
tbe bill for the erection of two additional
revenue cutters. The committee also Is
anxious to pass two bills amendatory of the
interstate corameroe aot, which will be rs
ported to the Home during tbe week by
Chairman Wise of Virginia, to meet tbe
Counselman case aud the Gresham decision,
and to allow railroad pooling under ooatrol
of the interstate commeroe commission.
PATH OF THE STORM.
It Was Central Near Nova Beotia Cant
Night.
Washington, Jan. 15.—A storm, which
moved eastward over the Ohio valley Sun
day morning, is central near Nova Scotia.
The temperature has fallen generally over
the eastern part of the country, aud a oold
wave has visited tbe southern states with a
temperature fait of 20® to 28*. This even
ing the temperature ie below xerci in the
upper Ohio valley and the line
of freezing weather is traced
over the southern part of the middle and
eastern gulf states. Generally fair wrather
is iadloated for the districts east of the
Mississippi river, except iu tbe lake regions,
where snow flurries will occur. In tbe
central valleys and middle Atlautic states
tbe weather will be warmer. A moderate
oold wave will extend over tho southern
Atlantic states aud Florida iu the moruiug.
SEVERE IN THE WEST.
Chicago, Jan. 15,—The cold soell of tbe
past few day* is the severest experienced in
several years and is general throughout the
west. At 10 o’clock this morning the ther
mometer registered 18“ below xero, but since
that uour the temperature has slightly
moderated. Tbe railroads are the chief suf
ferers, nearly all paunoger trains being
from one to twenty-four hours late. The
mail servioe is badly dsuiofatlxed la suiae
sections, and freight traffic ie entirely
abandoned.
BELOW ZERO IN VIROINIA.
Cape Charles, Va., Jan. 15.—Snow fell
early this moruiug, covering the peninsula
from 11 to 14 inobes deep. The mercury
shows 10° below zero to-night, and Is fall
ing fast. Il has been tbe coldest day since
1*57. Steamers between Cape Charles and
Norfolk are making their trips with much
difficulty on account of the ioe. At Smith’s
Island the ice exteuds l'J miles into the
ocean.
BELOW ZERO IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Jan. 15. —Dispatches to the
Sun from all parts of Maryland show that
the thermometer marks below zero. T here
is uo record of such oold weather heretofore
in tbe state.
SUFFERING AT HOMESTEAD.
Pittsburg, Jan. 15.—The continued cold
weather has increased the suffering at
Homestead. It is stated that nearly 300
poople are on the verge of starvation. Con
tributions are still ootnlng, but tbe aggre
gate amount is so small tnat it will not
procure the bare necessities ot life.
SKATING AT NASHVILLE.
Nashville, Tenn., Jau. 15.—T0-day was
bitterly oold, and to-night bids fair to be
colder than last night. Tbs Cumberland is
frozen tight from Lank to bank, and during
the day was visited by thousands looking at
tbe unusual sight. The ponds near the city
were orowded with skaters, a scene rarely
witnessed here.
CHATTANOOGA WITHOUT WATER.
Chattanooga, Jau. 15.—Chattanooga is
in the dark, and the city is without a drop
of water. At midnight tbe water
company’s supply gave out owing to the
freezing of the river and the water in the
section pipe*. Every business house,
factory and newspaper and residence is
affected by the damage. The eleotrio
lights went nut and the city is pitch dark,
with every street frozen as slick at glass.
In case of fire not a drop of water could he
secured for work. The situation is critical.
BLAINE BBTTBIR.

Secretary Blaine, for tbe severe relapse*
which he hot recently experienced have oc
curred on that day. There was no (level,
opiueut to-day, however, otber than favora
ble, and when Dr. Johnston left the house at
6:30 o'clock tbis evening he said he ehould
not return during tbe night unless espe
cially suuimonad. In answer to an inquiry
Dr. Johnston said that to all appearance
Mr. Blame had not lost any strength since
hie attack I ait Thursday, and on the whole

favorable as could be expected.
KANSAS STILL IN A STEW
THE ACTION OF THE POPULISTS
GENERALLY CONDEMNED.
Mass Meetings Held by Republicans
and Democrats in Various Parts of
the State to Censure the Action of
the Third Partyltea—No Change in
the Situation in the Legislature
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 15.—Dispatohes
from Lawrence, Hiawatha and McPherson,
this state, say the republicans aud demo
crats at these places have held mass meet
ings and protested agasnst the aotion of the
populists in itat lower House, at the sauie
time urging the republican majority to
maintain their position aud assuring tbsm
of tbe iadoreement of publio sentiment.
A dispatch froai Wichita, Got. Lewellyn's
home, says that the democrats of tbe place
who supported him loyally during tbe elec
tion, are considering the advisability of
holding a mass meeting Monday to protest
against his aotion in the legislative muddle.
a greatly needed breathing spell.
Many of tbe warring statesmen ere spend
ing Sunday with their families and the city
is enjoying the first quiet experienced for
nearly two weeks. The armistice declared
yesterday afternoon has furnished a greatlv
needed breathing spell, and the situation is
being reviewed calmly end apart from the
exciting events that have been transpir
ing hourly for the past week. The
second week of the legislative session
begins to-morrow with the lower House
farther from having a workiug organiza
tion perfected than it was when it was
first called to order. An organ
ization of populist members lacking five
of a majority of the members-eiect is in ex
istence and bas official recognition uf the
governor and Senate. The republicans and
emocrats have an organization of sixty
seveu members which has not been given
recognition. Much talk bas been indulged
in looking to an amicable reconciliation of
the two organizations,
POPULI6TB realize their mistake.
Many of the populist members privately
concede that tbe republican House is the
legal cue, but tbe loot that the populist ma
jority In the Henate and tbe populiet gov
ernor has recognized tbe minority House,
leaves them powerless to recede from the
action taken on the spur of tbe moment,
when tbe political excitement was runuiug
high last Tuesday, without practioally con
detuning the official action of
tbe Bsnate and their governor.
Iu other words, they do uot know how to
let go Tbe republicans will consider no
arbitration proposition whioh doe* not
recognise their organization as legal and
regular. To make a division of tbe Hotiso
officers or conoeds to a tribunal tbe right
to determine contests would be a
practical admission that their pro
ceedings were, in a measure at least,
irregular, aud this thsy say they cannot
aiTord to do. They say they are either
wholly right or wholly wrong It they are
right they have no concessions to make; if
they are wrong they ought to aoucede ev
erything. This being the spirit manifested
on both sides, there is no immediate pros
pect of a change in the relative positions of
the Honse.
KEPT UP BY THE CANDIDATES.
The trouble experienced so far is at
ributed to the populist and demooratio
candidates for l nited States senator, wbo
are openly accused by both sides of having
prevented a peaceable organizati n. The
conditions will remain unchanged until sue
side or tbe other attempts to assume the
aggressive and by force assert its
authority. Neither as yet show# a disposi
tion to do this. If the populists are forced
to the neoesslty of electing a senator with
the aid of their present House organization,
the contest will be carried before the United
State* Senate. For this reason many of
the populist leaders are urging
tbe necessity of electing a fusion demoarat
and presenting his credentials to the demo
cratic Seuate after March 4. John Martin
of this city is the leading fusion candidate
and John Eaton of Winfield, is a close sec
ond. Among tbe populists, H. 8. King of
Kansas City, Kansas. Judge Frank Dostur
of Mariou oounty and J. W. Briedeathal
chairman of tbe populist central ceinraittse,
are tbe most prominently mentioned. The
republicans having no i&uat* with whlcu
to meet In joint session, will
not figure iu the senatorial fight
until the houses are amalgamated. In
that event they will throw their
streugh to a straightout or stalwart demo
crat as opposed to the fusion candidate.
They have not sufficient strength to elect a
republican, but with the aid of five demo
cratic members could secure a majority.
Jerry Himpsoo left town tbis moruiug for
Washington and is no longer seriously re
garded in the senatorial fight. Messrs.
Simpson, Daster and Briedentbal have done
more to arouse the populists to their present
course than all otber influences combined.
Three democrats of the lower House, who
on Tborsday joined the republican House,
have out a long written statement tu-nigbt
explaining their action. They give as a
reason their belief that tbe republican
House was legally organized aud that the
populist House has uo standing before the
law.
ONE MAN POWER IN MONTANA.
A Populist Legislator Dictating Who
Shall Be Senator.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 15.— >An Intimate
friend of Mr. Beecher, a populist with
democratic leanings, says Mr. Beecher will
not vote for the demooratio oauous nomi
nee, Mr. Clark, and therefore the latter
cannot bo elected. Neither will Mr.
Beecher vote for Mr. Dixon. He tells his
friend, wbo appears to be a sort of go
between, that he is willing to vote for Gov.
Hauser, Mr. Collins, or one of several
other democrats, a list ot whom he has, hut
that he will not permit tbe democrats to go
Into a caucus and dmtatu to him fur
whom he shall cost his vote. Without Mr.
Beecher the democrats lack ouo of a
majority iu the legislature, and if thev do
not come to bis terms in the next forty-eight
hours there is grave danger that be and the
other two populists will unite with tbe re
publicans upon some populist who was until
recently a republican. The repub
licans are already hard at work
upon such a scheme under instruc
tion* from the republican national
committee, which has uot given up hope of
preventing tbe democrat* from organizing
tile Henate after March 4. Representative
Davidson, tbs Helena demooratio represent
ative, is (till very ill, and it is Improbable
that he will be able to ocuuoy bis seat in
two weeks.
WYOMING'S 6QUABBLB.
The Democrats Threaten to Organize
a Second Legislature.
Chkven.nb, Wyo., Jan. 15.—Tbe sena
torial situation bas somewhat changed since
the New exposure. A. O. Beckwith of
Unlta county, a merchant and coal mine
owner. t* said to be gathering new strength
aud it is claimed hy tome well posted
politloiens that he hs* been the real candi
date from the start, that Mr. New was put
forth first to fsel the way and at tbs pioper
time Mr. Heokwiib was to be substltutsd.
Tbs Baxter foroes have been aetiv* to day,
aud they have euoceeded in gaining for tbe
foveruor some additional strength.
he democrats now charge that
certain men in their ranks are
on too intimate terms with some of
Warren’* friends, and they do not hesitate
to say that it would be jus like Warron to
come in at the last moment and carry off
the price. They threaten that if tbis hap
pens they will organize a second legislature
and with the assistance of Gov. Osborne,
who will furnish the certificate, they will
elect a senator anil carry the contest into
tbe United State* Senate.
CASEY’S CHANCES SLIM.
A Combination Among Hie Opponsnts
to Defeat Him.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 15. —In spite ot
tbe fact that it was Sunday the several can
didates for senator were working like beav
ers among tbe members of tbe legislature
all day The Worst and Kingman meu
were talking very confidently about the
certain defeat of Senator Casey, aud
it is now pretty generally be
lieved there is a corablnatiou of the
anti-Casey meu. It is already settled
that there will be uo caucus. Ex-Gov.
Ordway is making no headway and it is
believed that he will withdraw from the
contest before balloting begins. Ail the
candidates are dickering witii the demo
crats for support in the event of a ilead
locx. The latter, however', insist they will
enter no combination, except to elect adem
ocrot.
NEBRASKA’S HENATORHBiP-
Ballotlng to Begin in Joint session To
morrow.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 15,-Tuesday the
legislature of Nebraska will meet iu joint
session to begin balloting for senator.
Neither party will present a caucus nomi
nee for a time, but will wait to see what, the
strength of each of the forty-three avowed
candidates develops on the first few ballots.
At least one Dnllot will be tulien each day
until a choice is reached. No one expects
the election witbiu the next three weeks
and few believe it will be made within six

FRANCE’S UGLY3OANDAL.
A Rumor in Germany That tba Amer
ican President Was Bribed.
Berlin, Jan. 15.— For a generation Ger
many ha* not felt such intense interest in
Frsnch affairs as she has fait since the open
ing of the French chamber. Even Chancellor
you Caprivi’s speech before the army bill
commission baa been partially supplanted in
publio view by the Panama scandal.
"It is no exaggeration to say," comment*
tbe National Zeituny after describing tbe
auxlety with which news from Paris is
awaited bsre.that the Panama scandal is the
theme of diseuselon throughout tbe world.
According to tbe latest reports tha scandal
is beooming more world-wide. It is now
alleged that Baron Mohrenheim and the
American President, congress and press
were bribed. To the enemies ot the
republio uo name or station ia
sacred. After tbe Kreaoh ministers
have fnllen, these men seek to undermine
President Carnot’s position. It cannot be
deuied that the republic of 1893 is bespat
tered from top to nottom with filth as tbe
republic of 1793 was bespattered with blood.
If the republic he overthrown, either a dicta
torship of the Boulaugists sort or a Csesardom
ot the Napoleonic stamp ora clerical mon
archy will oonjuro up a still broader and
deeper sea ot filth, iu which blood aud
money will mingle."

Widows of Veterans Who Married
Soon After the Wer May Be Cut Off,
A Proposition to btop Payments t
Met" VA ho Are In the Soldiers’ Homes,
Rsum’s Estimates.
Washington, Jan. 15.—The members of
the pensions subcommittee of the House
committee on appropriations, who have
been examining Commissioner Raum and
Assistant Secretary Bussey, are convinced
that they will need to appropriate clot* up
to the limit of their estimates. The question
from a political standpoint it whether t
appropriate every dollar that is likely to be
needed to meet tbe deficiency this year and
the payments uext year, or to leave a de
ficiency to be provided f*r by the next con
gress. The majority are inclined to appro
priate the full amount at this session, and
if it runs the total appropriations of
congress above a reasonable figure to rely
upon the obvious fact that the increase 1*
due to the pension laws uf the last congress.
Commissioner Raum nan revised both hi*
deficiency estimutes a:ul bis estimate fop
next year anil bas increased them both.
The deficiency estimate is f<.r slß,ooo,Odd,
but Gen. Raum o*Uinato< tha* $5,000,000 of
tins, although allowed by the pension office,
will not be actually paid out before June 30.
THE COMMITTEE’S 01-INION.
The committee believe that most of it
wilt be paid out, anil that in any case the
obligation will he inourred and the money
ought to be appropriated They have not
yet fixed the amount of the appropriation,
but will probably make n compromise at
$15,000,000 or $16,000,000 between tbe entire
estimate and tbe amount which Gen. Raum
thinks will actually be paid 1 he total esti
mate for next year is $176,000,0<i0, but (Jen.
Raum figures that $6,000,000 of tbis will re
main unexpended, aud that it will be safe
lu appropriate $172,000,000. The committee
are uot entirely satisfied with tbis manner
uf figuring, biit will probably Hi the ap
propriation at about $175,000,000,
TO STOP the drain.
Tbe possibility of stopping tbe pension
drain by amending the lew is being ser
iously considered by several members of tk*
appropriations oommittee. It is not atnotly
witbiu their pruviuce, but tbe easiest way
of securlug amendments is by provisions in
tbe appropriation bill and several will be
urged upon tbe committer. Representative
Forney uf Alabama will probably renew
bit proposition that pension* paid to io
mates of soldiers’ horns* shall be discon
tinued uulee* the money goes to dependent
relatives. Impendent relatives would prob
ably come to tbe front at plentifully as tbe
wives of a dead millionaire under this pro
vision, but the oommittee argue that the
moony would at least be distributed, in
stead of going into the pocket of men who
were being s > well cared tor that they did,
uot need it.
PAYMENTS TO WIDOWS.
Two other amendment! which are being
talked of refer to tha widows of veteran*
and the veterans who are earning tbeir
own living. Tbe proposition regarding tbe
widows ie to put a stop to further pen
sion payments to widows whose marriages
took plaoe after 1870,0 r some other date after
the close of the war. This would put a stop
to tbe practice which still prevails with tbe
widows of revolutionary veterans, of
marrying young girl* to octogenarian
veterans on tbeir deathbeds for the purpose
of keepiug the pension in tbe family.
Women who were widowed during the war
or by the death of their husbands from
wounds soon after its oloae are regarded as
proper beneficiaries of the gratitude of the
government, but women who married
veterans while engaged iu private business
long after tbe war aud wbo had no share in
the anxiety and sacrifice of the war time are
not considers 1 equally deserving.
OTHERS WHO MAY BE CUT OFF.
Several bills have already been intro
duced to cut off pensions to vote tans bold
ing good payiug offices under tha govern
ment, aud it Is thought that the principle
might be extended to ell wbo are earning a
good living aud are not suffering from
serious wounds reoeivsd m the service. If
payments to these classes were stopped, ae
might be done after notice for six months
or e year, tbe pension roll would be consid
erably cut down, and tbe enormous appro
priations whioh are eating up tbe entire
revenue from the customs might be re
duoed.
