tURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1898.
PENSION LEGISLATION.
following is quoted from the
jn ax-t of 1SU0: ' '
'. persons who served ninety days
re in the military or naval service
? United States during the late
jf the rebellion, and who have
honorably discharged therefrom,
.'?ho are now or who may hereafter
ffering from a mental or physical
ilily of a permanent character,
i? re?uk of iJi-oir i/w.n vicious tin b
hich incapacitates them from the
finance of manual labor in such
ree as to render them unable to
l support, shall, upon making due
of the fact ????????
iced upon the list o? invalid pen?
's of the United States, and be
?d to ireceive a pension not >x
>S tl2 per month and not less than
? -month, proportion, d to the de
>f inability to earn a support."
?Ill be seen that the slipshod man
which t.h.is law is worded makes
?sible far a man of Independent
ng inability io w ok. In fact, a
er of cases which have recently
brought to light show that it is
difficult matiter to prove disability
in cases where none exists. The
of the act La manifest. It is In
1 to pension only chose veterans
re .in absolute need and are uri
o .help themselves, but it fails to
is, an omiss.un which lias opened
reasury to many fraudulent and
thy claimants.
iis act should be repealed at once
teps should be taken to rid the
?n list of those who, under its
UOUS terms, have been
benOfltited at the expensi
markable statement: "Brains rule the
world. Bluscle is out of date. The 1
thoroughbred scholar takes precedence
over the self-made man." This is in
striking antithesis to the view recently
expressed by a college professor to the
effect that the vulgar foot ball man
and not the bright student was the col?
lege. It is apparent, however, that
neither view is the correct one. Ever
since Sam caried off the gates of Gaza
physical strength has been admired by
men and will al ways challenge admira?
tion so long as human nature does
business at the old stand. The man of
muscle without brain is Just about as
helpless as the man of brain without
the muscle. It is only by a Judicious
combination of the two that the best re
suits are obtained, and t he most perfect
"specimens of manhood are those in
which the two elements are nicely tflen
- dc-d and evenly balanced.

The Daily Press is in receipt
book entitled "The Road to Prosperi?
ty," by T. W. Woods, of Richmond. In
this little volume the author entertain?
ingly discusses the financial situation,
from a free silver standpoint, and vari?
ous other questions of general Interest.
The book has a number of pictures
?which cleverly Illustrate its subject
matter. While all persons may not
asree with Mr. Woods' views on the
currency question 'there can be no di?
vision ot sentiment as to the justice
of his caustic remarks in reference to
the pension matter and that monumen?
tal piece of humbuggery, the free.dis?
tribution of- seed by the Agricultural"
Department. There is also a chapter
devoted to the road question?a subject
which cannot be too violently agitated
in Virginia. The book is published by
Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago.
Ar, empty treasury may n,,t be the
worst thing on; earth. It gives the
Spinlsh government an excellent ox
far refusing to give pensions.
We presume that the ballot taken |
yesterday In the Joint session or ,
'he Ohio Legislature will cure Mr.
illanna's case of Insomnia right away. !
'Mr. Kurtz made a stubborn fight and
died hard, but there can be no doubt
whatever of the necessity of a coroner,
so far as he is politically concerned, at
any rate.
