Tkef Hate the Soldier.
The Chicago platform of the
Democratic party declares, "We
favor juBt and equal pensions for
all disabled Union soldiers, their
widows and orphans." A national
platform never contained a more
hollow and deceitful promise.
The history of pension legislation
since the advent of the Demo
cratic party has beeu one of abso
lute unfairness to our country's
defenders in its hour of peril and
need.
Instead of justice and liberality
to disabled Union soldiers and
their widows the first thing the
Democratic Administration did
under Hoke Smith was to change
the regulations of the depart
ment to make it more difficult to
prove cases and todemandproofs
which were almost impossible to
produce. Having changed the
regulations, which they had a
right to do, they have undertaken
to review cases to the extent of
350,000, which they had no right
to do. This work could not be
done and the office force at the
same time keep up the current
work. Asa result the current1
work has of course suffered. 1
According to General Raum,!
the present Commissioner of
Pensions, aided by the Secretary j
of the Interior, has suspended
over 13,000 cases, many of which
were as fair and just claims
against the government as any
that have ever been allowed for
any purpose. As proof of this it
is only necessary to say that the
storm of indignation which fol
lowed The Press' exposure of this
wanton and unneceesary cruelty
to the veterans of the war has
compelled the Department to re
instate 6,772 of these suspended
cases.
It is doubtful if any ot the re
mainder will be dropped from
the rolls. This action was neither
actuated by ftommon sense, jus
tice nor patriotism, but simply
by a desire to annoy and I arass
Union soldiers who were in a
measure dependent, in conse
quence of injuries received dur
ing the war, upon this pittance
for support.
As Hon. George D. Meiklejohn,
of Nebraska, member of the
House Committee on Invalid
Pensions, truly remarks, the net
result of Democratic treatment
of alleged pension frauds may be
summarized as follows:
"Net Result?Democracy has
exhibited its hatred of the loyal
soldier; made an unprovoked and
cowardly assault upon his honor;
deprived him of the small pit
tance due at a time, when be
cause of a Democratic panic, he
could least bear the privation;
manifested its own unfitness to
be trusted with the affairs of a
great nation, but unwittingly
demonstrated what every intelli
gent, fair minded man always
knew?that the pension fraud is
the rare exception, and that the
pension roll is. in fact, a roll of
honor."
The Teaching of Hlstorj.
Ten thousands of men are idle
in Youngstown, Ohio, on account
of the closed iron works of that
city. An equal number walk the
streets of Yonkers. In Cohoes,
Amsterdam and other places
along the Mohawk the knitting
mills are closed and all industries
suffer. The same statement can
be made of almost all the manu
facturing places in the country.
The factories starting up to
supply temporary demands are
being operated with reduced
scales of wages. We lament the
/act that the country is suffering
from an industrial calamity of
enormous proportions, and while
It may result in loss to the party
in power, which is responsible
for the condition, we would alto
gether rather have the situation
reversed, even if the credit should
go to a democratic administra
tion.
But history is repeating itself.
Mr. Blaine in his "Twenty Years
in Congress" points out that the
reduction of duties in 1816 from
what was called the "war tariff
was followed by severe depres
sion in all branches of trade.
The effect of the tariff of 1824.
increasing the duties, he de
scribes as "undoubtedly favor
able to the general prosperity."
The lower tariffs of 1832 and 1838,
Mr. Blaine shows, were succeeded
by the financial panic of 1837.
The high duties imposed by the
law of 1842 "raised the country
from the slough of despondency
to happiness, cheerfulness and
conflddnce." The duties were
reduced in 1846, but the discovery
of gold in California, the Mexican
war and the peculiar conditions
that existed in Europe caused by
the withdrawal of large numbers
of men from industrial employ
ment did not permit its effects to
be immediately felt. The busi
ness depression of 1857 was the
result of that tariff.
Profiting nothing by exper
ience. seemingly careless of con
sequence, the Democratic party
is preparing to inaugurate a
policy that will bring a repeti
tion of the disaster and sufferings
that have always attended the
abandonment of the protective
tariff. We now see what effect
the threat to pursue this policy
has had. V/hen it is fully en
tered upon, the result may be
forseeu from the records of
American history.?2fail and Ex

FOPCLAR EMTAT10N.
The common school brings
boys and girls only a part of the
way through a course of study.
The vast majority drop out be
fore they finish the common
branches, and a comparatively
small number enter the high
1 school. The girls are in the ma
jority in the high school graduat
ing classes, while the boys are
in the minority, and this dispart
ty Increases from year to year.
Thus we are left to face the.uu
wetcome fact that the greater
part of the young people of this
country are not receiving even a
good common school education.
There is a great gulf fixed be
tween the condition in which we
find the masses of our common
school people when they quit
school and the higher institutions
of learning, which latter seem
to exist for the purpose of edu
cating men and women in the
higest degree for the various
vocations and professions in life.
It is between the common school
and the higher institutions of
learning where popular educa
tion should come in and meet a
real need in our civilization.
"Popular education" is a
euphonious term, designed to
describe a system of instruction
which is adapted to people who
are engaged in regular daily
employment, and who left the
common school in early life, but
who have not had the privileges
of education in a college or a
university. The necessity was
laid upon them to earn bread,
the school with its books may
have been distasteful to them,
or parents may not have held
them to their daily task in the
school room; whatever the cause
that operated, they dropped out
of school, engaged in business,
joined in a marriage contract, or
went in other ways, till it was
too late to retrace their steps in
an educational way. But, now,
in mature life, they have been
touched by business obligations,
social demands, calls from church
or a political party, and when
they undertake any of the duties
to which they aspire they find
themselves deficient in literary
culture, and then sigh for the
learning of books, for the in
I spiration of a teacher, or are
goaded by a hunger for educa
tion.
This is the intellectual condi
tion of a great mass of the
American people. The picture
is not overdrawn. It is common
for educated men in their strug
gle to establish higher institu
tions of learning, to overestimate
the culture of the masses. The
former create an atmosphere
about themselves which is fast
becoming the aristocracy of edu
cation, and thus divorce them
selves from the people. There
tore popular education is a great
necessity in the United States ;
and we mean by popular educa
tion information on all lines of
useful knowledge that the aver
age American ought to possess
to make him an intelligent busi
ness man. a knowing citizen, or
a capable man of affairs. In a
word, he should be the possessor
of a variety of knowledge esaau. |
tial to the success of a man of
common sense.
This education must be pre
pared in such form, in books and
magazines, that the average man
may comprehend it without the
presence of a living teacher. Be
uausp the teacher cannot go with
his book to the student, the
I author must prepare in popular
language the text for the average
man ; technical terms must be
eliminated. Latin and Greek
German and Frenoh. and higher
mathematics must be tabooed
VVe have reached a time when
history may be writteu in a very
plain vocabulary : this is true
also of works on literature, sci
ence. art and religion, and it
should be done. Nothip* in a
book so dazes the average man as
a pedahtic statement in philoso
phy, couched in unknowable
words, or, what is worse, in a
dead language. Education, to
be popular, must mean science
made as facinating as fiction, his
tory written like a romance,
philosophy told as a tale, and
religion explained in parables
and symbols, such as the great
Teacher himself used. The

Northcott? Beardsley.
The Huntington Herald gives
the following account of the
marriage of Elliott Northcott,
son of Gen. R. S. Northcott, of
this city :
"This bright and beautiful day
at the home of the bride on
Third avenue, in the city of
Huntington, there were two lov
ers united in the holy bonds of
wedlock, in such a pretty and
altogether charming way as to
beget the admiration of all who
were among the favored quests.
Mr. Elliott Northcott, the
.young and able member of the
bar of Cabell county, and Miss
LolaH. Beardsley, the accom
plished and popular elder dauirh
ter of Dr. A. J. Beardsley. were
the contracting parties, both of
them blessed with plenty of
friends, many of whom were wit
nesses to the ceremony.
The home of the bride was
beautifully and tastefully decorat
ed with carnation pinks, the
favored flower of the bride and
set off with a back ground of
palms, ferns, and other plants
At exactly high noon, the
charming Russian wedding
march was played by the Leroy
Orchestra, and Mayor Neal.
Elliott Northcott and Dr. A J
Beardsley and Miss Lola Beards
ley marched into the elegant and
spacious parlor, forming a pretty
group in front of a back ground
of palms, ferns, and flowers.
It was a pink and white wed
ding and the ceremony, was that
Of the Episcopal church, and
was performed by the pastor
Rev. Gibson, using the ring."
There are in the United States
upward of 50,000 hotels, exclu
sive of what may properly be
termed inns and taverns, and
what are commonly known as
appurtment houi.es, although
the latter are as hotels, in that
they have a common kitchen and
diningroom.
Until recently all marriages in
England were celebrated before
noon, the reason for which law
was that the parties might be so
ber. It used to be the custom to
dine at noon, and, as it was the
proper thing to drink to the
health of the bride and groom,
frequently all parties would ap
pear at the alter intoxicated.

It is with sorrow and shame,
but yet with hope and courage,
and I write It?there is reason
for the extensive complaint made
t>y men that women do not work
thoroughly. I am afraid that,
till time and trouble shall have
taught them better, they will
not. Is it because they never
have been trained ? Is it because
they expect to be married ? That
it is not in the least because they
cannot, we know ; for we know

cently accurate work in the world
has been done by women?Eltxa
