The Inaugural address of Governor
? {Tyler, before the General Assembly yes?
terday will well repay a careful read?
ing. It has a healthy ring In every sen?
tence, and is alive with the spirit of
patriotism. His strong, noble words to
the young men of Virginia, to uphold
''the bid time honor arid dignity -of pub
He' station, free from the taint of barter
and debauchery, are timely and whole
come. Right he U? In proclaiming that
the gravest menace to our republic is
the hold effrontry of those who would
debauch the people's suffrage and prc
; 'vent -their -will toy the use of money
and the power of combination Influ?
ences. He appeals to the Legislature
,tp dense measures, to see that the voice
of the people and not the mandates of
combines are spoken at the polls.
The Governor proclaims himself a
bold advocate of ecorfomy. The burth?
ens of taxation, -he asserts, are exces?
sive and unequally distributed. Ho
earnestly urges, the cutting down of
the expenses. He points to the fact
.that tho peop..; are hampered In the
conduct of their 'business and arc In
despair at the constant and steady de?
cline In the value of their property,
end are restive under the oppressive
(burthens of .taxation tlhey bear. Ho
points out that the- revenues of the
Ctate are now barely sufficient to meet
demands and that soon we will have to
provide for an increase rate of Interest
on the public debt. The cutting down
of expenses, ho considers, Is the only
line in which hope of relief can be
?based, as far as the subject can .be
viewed at present. Virginia, he asserts,
Is to-day an office-ridden iState and
this evil can be, to some extent, lesson?
ed by a consolidation of the ofTlces. He
hopes the Legislature will press the
measures now being considered lo se?
cure fuller returns of personal property
for taxation.
MAKING WAR ON MR. Git OF.
It Is.said in Washington that Mark
Hann a is one of -the Republican Sen?
ators who are trying to force Secretary
of the Treasury .Gag-e from the Cabi?
net on tho ground that If it had not
been for tho Secretary Mr. McKinley
would long ago have graruted the de?
mands of the men who nominated and
elected him.
They oharge that Influential Re?
publicans are dally becoming more con?
vinced that Gage is ruining the party's
chances In -the coming Congressional
elections.' and that he should get out
of the Cabinet to make room for sonic
one who is in closer touch with tJte
party.' It Is not entirely clear as to
?whait the Secretary has done to bring
down" the party wrath upon his head.
*ut they say'-he must go, and if Hannn
has Joined In the fight against him he
Je likely to go. -i \
However, Jt's none of our concern,
hut it is worjthy of note that all is not
happy in the camp of "our friends, tin
enemy."
DEMOCRATS SHOULD STAND

The Washington Sentinel Is ev^iitly
opposed to the annexation, of hSnv*^
It sounds more *gen teel to speak of ft
ss annexation, but some .people call !?:
a Job. However, this is the way the
CenMnel treats the question: "The Dein
ecrats aot wisely in. standing aloof
from the Hawaiian Job. From its in?
ception," It says, " by a little band of
HOown Bast' buccanneers, .made up In
about equal parts of missionaries and
mercenaries, this annexation scheme
has been essentially a Republican con

how can any Democrat nid ithls ?chemo?
Hoe the Democratic party not 'been de?
feated and defrauded enough 1>y these
pocket States? Tilden would have' been
elected President in 1S76, In spite of
tthe great fraud and crime sanotienod
by the Electoral Commission, but for
three electoral votes of Colorado, which
was admitted by the help of a few
Democrat la votes. In a like manner the
Republican l>nrty has retained Its con?
trol of the Senate by adding nev pocket
boroughs to the Union whenever the
.tide of popular opinion seemed about
to overwhelm 'it.
"The Republican politicians and Job?
bers are seeking further reinforce?
ment from the leprous colony in the
far Pacific. N-> honest and sensible
Democrat will give them an aid in the
plot."
But are .'.hero any Democrats In Con

scheme which is so big with evil? Uns

should count the cost of such votes.

The press n p'onts which furnishes the
Information that ninny hundreds of
people in Cuba are In almost a starv?
ing condition, gives some Idea of con
dltlens in .'.hat unhappy Island, and re?
lief as far ns possible should be afford
ed them. Spanish misrule and oppres?
sion Is the main -cause of all the misery
which has come to >the people of Cuba,
and the e nd is not yet.
There may be reasons of state which
prevents the United States from step?
ping In and ending the war between
Spain and the (province, hut It appears
to those not posted that .this country
has ween enough to Justify Interference
on our part In behalt of the people
who .have been struggling so long for
freedom, and against stich odds.
Very many people In this country be?
lieve that the time of Intervention Is
now, and any move In ithat direction
will have the hearty support of every?
one. Why wall until the entire popula?
tion of the 'island Is wiped out by
disease- and starvation, If not by the
[word before calling a halt on the
Spaniards?
IT Vi I I.I, NOT DOWN'.
Some how the opponents of the pen?
sion frauds nro determined not to let
ithe matter of reform in that llt!c rest
until something Is accomplished, and
we should riot wonder .'.[ In the end they
succeed. The latest Is that a woman
who has never been in this country,
?has been granted a pension of $1,000
"back pay.
The woman lives In Norway, and
her husband, one Knudson, came tu
this country In 1SCI and hired himself
.to the Government to do some flght
lng, but whether He dkl any or hot is
not staled. However, the pension office
makes this statement on the case:
"Uu August Hist. 1S94, thirty-one
years after the soldier's death, the
widow, who has never left Norway, ap
llcd for a pension. Under the present
laws, she has title nnd the claim must
be allowed, granting arrears of pen
si ui from .the date of the soldier's
death', making the first payment
amount to between $1,000 nnd $".,000. In
all claims lilcd subsequent do July
1st, 1SS0, and prior to June 7th, JSS8.
pension; If allowed, would begin from
date of filing the application. On the
la tier date, however, an act was passed
which provides that all pensions grant?
ed to widows hereafter shall commence
from the date of the soldier's death."
This pension business, as worked, is
hard to understand, except to the In?
itiated.
