Maryland and Virginia are having an
oyster stew between themselves, audit is
being served hot.
Gen. Jubal A. Early's familiar friends
used to refer to him as" Lee's bad old
man" by way of establishing a contrast
between him and Stonewall Jackson,
whose piety was as proverbial as knowl
edge of it was widespread. Early was
a "bad old man" only in that he would
frown and sliout and swear when there
was hard fighting to be done; and it
seemed that he could fight the harder for
an oath or two in llio right place. But
Jubal Early was not a "bad old man" in
any other sense whatsoever. He was a
typical man of his country and his genera
tion: and that means lie was brave,
tender-hearted and forever true to his
principles. His record us a soldier tan bo
salely left to history; his worth as a
man is best known to his personal friends
aqd the poor in the various cities in which
he lived. There will probably be those
who will seek to attack his memory be
cause of his long connection with a lottery
company. On that score it need only to
be said that George Washington was
cnee connected with a lottery, and that it
has teen only a comparatively short
white since lotteries, under the protection
of the law, were in vogue all over the
land. And what Gen. Early got out of
the lottery in the way of a salary, ho
gave ba ’K to the people. He received
*25,000 a year for his services, but dis
tribute 1 nearly all of to the poor of New
Orleans and the southern stales. it is
said that he carried a regular pension list
o', dependent poor, but would never permit
of public mention of the fact.
That Roll of Honor.
There is more demagogy in connection
with the pension question than with any
other that is the subject of legislation If
thore were less politics connected with it
am! more patriotism it would be handled
with far more justice. As long as it can
be made the means of boosting men into
congress and of keeping many of those
there who have obtained their positions
by its help the pension burden will he
steadily Increased. A third of all the
revenue of the government is now required
to pay the pension charge, and there are
men in congress who never saw a battle
and who do not know what war is who
are howiinp themselves hoarse for a pen
sion for every man who was mustered
into the union armies.
Twenty years ago no man in the coun
try thought the pension charge would
ever reach *50,000,000 a year. Garfield
asserted on the floor of the House that it
would never reach £30,000.000. He had
but little comprehension of the extent to
which the treasury would be used for po
litical purposes. The annua! appropria
tion for pensions is now more than $150,-
000.000, and still the demagogues cry for
more. No man can even approximately
estimate what the pension burden would
be if the Republican party should be re
turned to power.
The Cleveland administration is
charged with being hostile to pensions.
The,re never was a more unjust charge.
It is made by those who want to loot the
treasury, and it is believed by tens of
thousands of people who are misled by
those who have a purpose in misleading
them.
The true veterans of tho union armies,
those who were honorable soldiers, would
like to sec the pension roil a roll of honor.
That is what the Cleveland administra
tion wants to make it. The domagogues
iti congress, the claim agents and those
who were camp followcrers, deserters
and bounty jumpers object. If the pen
sion roil were made .a roll of honor thou
sands of names, it is believed, that aro
now borne on it would be struck off.
They arc there by mistake, by fraud and
by misrepresentation.
That the roll contains names it should
not is shown by tho violent and angry
opposition to a thorough inspection of it.
The result of an inspection would be
startling, and would bring the republican
administration of the pension office into
disrepute. That is why every attempt
to make the pension roll a roll of honor is
met by angry protests.
It is eharged that the south is opposed
to giving pensions to union veterans, and
that she wants pensions for her own vet
erans. The charge is without foundation.
The south is willing that the genuine
veterans of the union armies who suffer
from disabilities shall have pensions, but
she objects to having tens of thousands of
frauds saddled upon tho treasury. She
expects nothing for her own veterans and
she asks nothing. She is taking care of
those who cannot take care of them
selves.
All the south asks is that tho pension
laws shall be strictly interpreted and
honestly administered. If this is done
she will bear her part of the pension bur
den without a murmur.
Will the Election End the War P
The opinion prevails in Brazil and else
where that the election of Dr. Prudente
Moraes to the presidency in Brazil will
bring the war in that country to a close.
Both he and Senhor Victorino Reveira.
who has been chosen vice-president, are
very popular. The insurgents have no
reason to find fault with them, and will
uot, if what they declared to be the pur
pose of the war when it was inaugurated
is correct. The insurgent leaders have
said that they have no desire to re
store the empire, and that they made war
upon the government because of the un
constitutional and tyrannical acts of Pres
ident Peixoto. The change that has taken
place in the government ought to satisfy
them if they are sincere.
Dr. Moraes is a lawyer, but has given a
great deal of attention to polities. Among
the important ofliees he lias held is that
of governor of his native state, and an
other is that of senator in the federal
senate. He is a conservative republican
and has tho good fortune to have tho re
spect of men of ail classes, even of those
who are opposed to him politically.
The best men in Brazil—those who are
sincerely anxious for th welfare of the
country—believe he will make a just ami
good President, and there is, therefore, no
good reason why the war shouiu be con
tinued. Unless the insurgent leaders
have a purpose in view which they have
not yet disclosed they can offer no
reasonable excuse for continuing the war.
If wise counsels prevail there will bef an
immediate movement in favor of peace.
The losses which have been sustained
already are very great—so great in fact,
that it will take the country several
years to recover from them even under
the most favorable circumstances.
What Beer Has Done for Texas.
Sheriff Kowan Tucker, of Fort Worth.
Tex., who was in Washington, D. C., a
day or two ago. marie the statement to a
reporter of the Post, of that city, that
desperadoes have about all disappeared
from that state. He declared he did not
know of any "real l ad men" in tho state
at the present time. "The main reason."
he said, "why killings are fewer now is
that the men have, to a great extent,
ceased drinking to much red liquor. Tho
Irewery has been a great institution for
Texas, and tbe more breweries we get the
lower the death rate"
According to tho Texas sheriff the
brewery is a great institution to keep
down tho death rate. There is much more
truth than poetrv in what lie says.
Neatly all tin- orityes of violence are
truceablo directly to whisky. Even
wltpn Texas was notorious for her des
peradoes it was seldom that a man
was shot or stabbed except iu a quarrel
in which the partici; ants were under the
influence of liquor. \\ hisky makes men
ugly, and when they ate iu that condi
tion they either want to fight or are
easily provoked to tight.
It tnkes a great deal of beer to make a
roan drunk, and those who drink it to ex
cess become stupid rather than ugly. It
is uot often that a bocr drinker commits
a crime of violence. While, therefore, the
practice of ar.uking beer is not to be
commended, it is less harmful to a cotn
munit> than the practice of drinking
whisky. In Germany, where beer is
the natiounl drink, there are few dri itlt
arfis, aud very few crimes of violence.
if people are bound to have an intoxi
cant of some kind it is far better they
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 4, i81)4.
should have beer than what the
Texas sherii? calls red liquor. In propor
tion as it issubsiituted for whisky, drunk
enness and crimes of violence cease.
Taken in moderation, beer is practi
cally harmless. though the appe
tite for it is likely to increase
until it is taken in a sufficient
quantity to do harm. The appetite it
creates, however, is no: so great as that
which whisky creates, and the proportion
of those who become beer drunkards is
comparatively small.
A homicide occurred almost every day
in Texas w,.en whisky instead of beer
was the drink of the people. Since the
introduction of breweries very few mur
ders are reported. The conclusion, there
fore. is that they have been a great ben
efit to Texas.
The Society Girl.
The Rev. Dr. William S. Rainsford. of St.
George's church. New York city, who is
much admired by women, has been giv
ing the Brooklyn girls a talk upon the
subject of the "society girl.” He says that
the great fault with the modern society girl
• is that she is taught to make pleasure
the chief end of existence.” He points
out that the wealthy father makes every
possible sacrifice to enable his daughter
to occupy an exalted station iu life and
have what she considers a pood time, und
the poorer father tides to lollow the ex
ample of ttie wealthy one, and makes
sacrifices for her he cannot afford. The
girls grow up expecting, very naturally,
to have everything done for them. They
hdve no settled purpose, and they ye all
the while seeking something new. Nat
urally tin-limit of new pleasures is fin
ally reached, and then they rush into mar
riage because it offers anew experience.
What is the motive of their lives? Dr.
Rainsford thinks it is the pursuit of
pleasure, which is a false motive, and he
asserts that when the "women of society
arc actuated by a false motive, society
itself must bo lalse through and through.’’
In view of the fact, says Dr. Rainsford.
that people are now seeking the universal
development of society, tho good of the
whole body politic, while in the last
generation they sought the develop
ment and education of the in
dividual, a change is coming that
places an awful responsibility upon
women. He believes, therefore, that
every girl should have an object in
life, should seek to do some good.
They ought to go about this work
at once. They should not wait for some
more fitting opportunity and in the mean
time waste their time iti tho sole pursuit
of pleasure. Those who put off doing
what good they might do immediately are
likely to find their opportunities for
benefitting themselves and others gone
forever when they feel they are ready to
improve them.
Dr. Rainsford’s remarks are applicable
to girls out of society as well as to those
in it. but he addresses them to society
giris because so many of them are sup
posed to be devoted wholly to pleasure.
The most of theirr. however, find the hard
realities of life soon enough. But it is
true that too few girls realize to the ex
tent they ought their relation to society
in general, and tho responsibilities which
that relation imposes upon them.
For a Parity of Poeksts.
At the recent Congress of Women for
Improved Dress, held at New York, one
of the speakers appealed for "a system of
pockets for women" that would put them
on-the same plane with men. “In this
one respect,” said the speaker, "women
are not the equals of men; the men have
dozens of pockets, while the women have
only one each.”
Who couitl be so heartless as to sa.v nay
to this appeal? If a multiplicity of pock
ets will enhance her happiness, let
woman have all the pockets she can find
room for. Let hev have all of the various
kinds that men have—fob pockets,
match pockets. breast pockets,
•'corner pockets,” pistol pockets,
and the rest. The woman’s pocket has
been the butt of tho joker ever since
jokes had a market value, and will proba
bly continue to be so as long as fashion
compels woman to hide her pocket as if it
were a forbidden fruit, hence woman has
suffered because of her pocket. Now, if
a great number of pockets will raise the
institution itself above ridicule and there
by save the sensibilities of the owners,
let the number be raised and the higher
the better.
At the same time, we cannot refrain
from cautioning woman that even the
sweet of a dozen pockets is not without its,
bitter. Emptiness in a woman's single
pocket is multiplied by twelve or more
when iUeomcs to man. these hard times.
Frequency of pockets does not indicate or
make fullness of pockets; it only accen
tuates the vacuum, very frequently.
There is a vast difference between being
rich in pockets and rich in the pocket, and
an amount of riches of the one kind may
become only a reminder of a lack of riches
of the other kind. For verily, twelve
pennies in ono pocket will make greater
clatter than one penny in each of twelve
pockets.
Nevertheless, if the women have made
up their minds that equality with men in
tlic matter of pockets is ihe thing they
want at tills juncture of the fight for
woifian's rights, why let there be a parity
of pockets established, iu tho manner
most convenient to tne women. There
are few men who could not dispense with
some of their pockets just now, and they
would be willing to meet the women half
way, if the dear creatures should no' feel
like taking ou twelve or fifteen pockets at
once.

No Great Rush.
S'x months ago a c!o hing dealer on Jeffer

front window and marked each one at 75
cents, says the Detroit Free Press. Thev
hadn t been on display out a day or two le-,

over and said:
T want one of them but 15 cents is too
much. 11l give you 60."
His offer was refused and he walked out. In
about a week be returned, but the mar ,et was
still firm. Regularly every week since then
h.- has appenied and renewed ms offer. Along
the end of August he dropped in to o serve;
"it s only a few days to September now."
"Yes

"Yes."

Rev. Dr. Radcliffe tells a gcod wild west
story to the members cf his congregation
when he is after a liberal donation on any oc
casion. It was told to him. says a writer in
the Detroit News-Tribune, by a friend who
was at one time an itinerant Methodist mis
sionary. His friend was working in the
wilds of Arizona. One Saturday evening the
missionary entered a mining ramp whose in
habitants had lost all track of Sunday. He
went to ihe l iggest saloon in the camp and
Introduced himself, telling tho proprietor
that the loliowing dav was ,-unday and that
he would like to ureavh a sermon to the min
ers. The proprietor s name was Jake.
"All right, 'said Jake, "we will be glad to
have you. I will fix it with the boys.”
He did fix it and all of the saloons were
closed when It came thro to deliver the ser
mon. Tho exercises were held in the big
saloon, and Jake made himself master of
ceremonies. The missionary took his stand
against the bar ana delivered his discourse to
all the idlers in tht town who had collected in
the saloon At the, close of his address he
timidly suggested that traveling was expen
sive.; n 1 while salvation was tree, tlie gospel
ns be rvuu for. He suggested tae propri
ety of a collection.
Ail runt, parson. I will attend to that;
sb'l out. i ovs cried Jake.
He pas ed his soin roro ihrough the crowd,
an.i even’Lodv threw in a larae coin. i:n ii li
came to a stranger in the camp. T he stranger
put his hand m his pocket and felt around
there for a while. F.oally he pc lied out a
quarter and started \o drop it into the hat.
Jake drew ba. k the hat and put his hand on
the handle of his revolver.
"Look a here, stranger." he said, "chips are
a dollar in this game, und it is yonr ante. "
The stranger played the limit and Jake s
hand left the handle of his revolver. After
that every one played the limit.

A Tale Told By Talbert.
During one of the roil calls yestercav. says
the Washington Post. Mr. Reed was standing
in the rear of ihe hall of the House with his
hand upon the head of Mr. Kilgore.
'■ l hut rpminds me of a story," said Mr.
Talbert, of routh Carolina, who occupies the
seat nentto Mr. Kilgore.
• Let s have it " said tbe Texas man and
the Maine man in a sort of duet.
"Well." said Mr. Talbert, "a sailor landing
in a seapor' town one Sundly thought he
would g) to church The edifice was crowded,
but he finally found a place on the pulpit
platform, directly underneath the preacher,
'the minister warmed up in his appeal to the
unconverted. Noticing that, the siilor was
-a stranger, he bent over to him. grasped him
M y the hair of his head and impressively,
shouted: 'My dear sir. do you know that you
are going straight to hell?’
•• 1 shouldn't wonder.' said the sailor, look
ing up. T see the devil has got me by the
back of my head.'
"Now." said Mr. Talbert to Mr. Reed, "I
don t mepn to compa-o you to the devil "
"Lon t say a word, 4 interrupted Mr. Reed.
“The story is too good to be spoiled by an ox

a.i the rest of the government e!ongs to
women. The king is entirely dependent upon

I have a number of friends who have
shadowy recollections of a previous exist
ence upon this earth" said a tbeosophist to a
writer for the Fittsburg Dispatch. "You
do ibtless have all had experiences when sn
indefina ue vagne rememman.e of some
thing or some! ody came to you wh.ch puzzled
you and made you say, "Um sure lie seen
that ref ore.' Yet you may know- positively
tliat as far as this r resent existence is con
cerned it was imposs le for you lo hive re
cei .ed even an idea ,ff the place or person. I
have often met people w tli whom I necame
intimate at first sight It seems, as I have
often told ‘hem. that i had known them for
years. It was only the other evening that I
met a lad.v from -a t • ran isco, whose face
had been in my mind for years. As soon as
we met there seemed to be something that
drew us togsther. We were as old
friends. The most remarka le instance
I ever heard is that of the daughter
of Isaac Fulton. Twelve years ago he reside 1
in c-flin ham county, Illinois. While ihere
he burieo a da ghter named Maria, who was
taken away just as she wa3 budding iuto
womanhood. A- out a year la’er he removed
to Dakota, where ho still resides. About
three yeari after his daughter s death he was
blessed with another little girl, who was
christened Nellie, it - einc the favorite name
of his wife When the little one became o and
enough to talk she pe sisted in calling herself
Maria, .she became quite a igry when told
he name was 5 eilie. She said the name be
longed to her. as her parents used to caii her
Maria. A matter of business took Mr. Fuitoa
back to Effingham county, and fo- company
he took Nellie vlor.g. The father
was surprised at the intuitive knowl
edge the girl had of ihe place. he not only
recognized the old home, but manv peo; 1 ■ he
had never seen, whom the first da ighter ha 1
been acquainted with. About a mile from tbe
home was a schoolho; sc. where Maria ha-1
gone to S.boel. Little Nellie had nev’r een
the pine yet she cave an accurate descrip
t on of it to her father and expressed a strong
desire to visit it. Anorlingly her faiher took
her out io the s.hoolhouse. As soon as
she was inside she marched strai;ht
up io the desk her sister had
occupied and said: 'This is mine'
ln telling the story Mr. Fulton said that it
seemed as if the dead bad , ome Lack from
the grave, but her mother would not have it
ro she says if that is true she had but one
child, and God gave her two."
