MAUD MULLER VAN WYCK : lklt might have been.1 THE "state of Beatrice" rejoices with exceeding preat joy. THAT the "Q. " will extend its line into Colorado still further , this year , i amon < r the brightest possibilities. THE Chicago Journal makes the hap py suggestion that "slippery elm would be more appropriate than hickory as ai emblem of modern democracy. " THE election of Congressman Frank Hiscock to the senate , from New York state , is regarded as a Elaine victory , and a most favorable omen for Hepiib- licanism in the Empi/e State. So be it. JONES of Florida , now sojourning in Detroit , has been heard from. Fie has pronounced a severe phillippio against the "millionaires in tho senate. " June has been nursing his feeling of hostility towardsmillionaire senators ever since Miss Palm definitely refused to make him one of 'em. Journal. THE inter-state commerce bill only requires the president's signature to become a law of the land. While the bill is not all its too sanguine friend may expect , has pome quite obvious im perfections , perchance , it is a step,3and a long one , in the right direction , and makes some excellent provisions , which if carried into effect , will be productive of good results. THE St. Louis merchants have ap plied for the appointment of Uncle William Morrison as one of the inter state commerce commissioners. Like a good many others that have been mentioned , Uncle William will be in eligible until the 4th of March , andit will hardly do to put off the appoint ment of the commission until after that date for the accommodation of knocked out senators and congressmen. Lin coln Journal. THE sheriff of Cook county has ve toed the marriage of August Spies the convicted anarchist , and the crank and heiress , Miss Van Zandt. The sheriff takes the ground that he has to protect a condemned man from all dangers from the outside world. The noose of mat rimony cannot be permitted to attach itself to a neck predestined by a judge and jury to a hempen tie. Miss Van Zandt will not be permitted to get near enough to her fiance to marry him. Journal. I" A BILL has been introduced in the house by Representative Simmsof Jlar- lan county , prohibiting games of chance or skill in saloons. It is to be hoped raost earnestly that the bill becomes a law. It will be a grand "move toward the salvation of the rising generation of young men from the associations and temptations of the nation's greatest enemy the saloon. If Simms suc ceeds in the passage of that bill , THE TRIBUNE will promptly move his can onization. THE POLITICIAN. He is like a ball , because he lies on all sides. He is like a broken bank , because he lacks princi : ple. He is like the iron man , because he finds profit in steal. He is like the dentist , because he often takes the stump. He is like a circus performer , because he gains in the ring. He is like a harp , because he is a modern specimen of a lyre. 'He is like St. ' Paul , because he "is all things to all men. " He is like a telegraph lineman , .because he manipulates the wires. He . is like a pawnbroker , because his indus- ' try depends on his interest. He is like the Arctic and the Antarctic circles , because he is to be found about the polls. IN passing the inter-state commerce bill , congress gives the first national endorsement to the principles of anti- monopoly. The date marks the close of one epoch in our economical history a.nd the beginning of another. It ends the year during which the advocates of national regulation of the railroads struggled to awaken public sentiment in favor of "the reform which they cham ' pioned. It begins an era in which the people will demand that public corpor ations shall be conducted with a proper regard for the principles" legitimate business and in the interests of the a general welfare which they are created to subserve , Bee.

Butts-Chief of this Division has a force 01 thirty thoroughly dis ciplined clerks , nearly every one a G. A.

All such requests coining to this oflice wil be at once sent to this Division of the Pen sion Oflice , and the answer will go dircc from there to the person inquiring. Such arrangement dispenses with tho for mer slow , uncertain and almost worthies ; practice of answering inquiries by Genera Orders. IV. Attention is called to the following circular from the Pension Committee of tli G. A. R. tersely .setting forth their aims am purposes. The Commaiuler-iii-Chief urges every sin cere Comrade who has the good of our Orcle and of all our veterans at heart , to join us as one in pressing for the enactment of the laws recommended by this Committee. I we divide , all our efforts are wasted. If we unite 350,000 strong , on the same lines of. thought and effort with this Committee , we can so influence national legislation on this subject as to meet with the approval of the people and satisfy every reasonable demam of the.veterans : LAWRENCE , Nov. 24,1SSO. Constant inquiries are made by Comrades and Posts of the National Committee on i Pensions of the Grand Army , as to the exaci character of the legislation favored by this Committee. \Ve give" herewith the recommendations oi the Pension Committee as made to and urgei upon the two houses of congress at the last session , and endorsed by the National En campment at San Francisco. These recommendations are as follows : | 1. That the record of the acceptance and muster-in of the soldier or sailor shall be prima facie evidence that he was sound at that time. 2. An increase of pensions to widows to twelve dollars per month. [ This has since become law. ] 3. The continuance of a pension to the widow or dependent relatives , whether the pensioner dies from the effects of wounds or disease resulting from the service or not. tn t 4. An increase of pension to minor chil dren from two dollars to five dollars per month , and extending the limit of age from sixteen to eighteen years ; and in case a min or child is insane , idiotic , or otherwise help less , the pension to continue during the life of said child. 0. A re-enactment of the arrears law. 7. Pension to parents , if now dependent , instead of requiring proof of dependence at the time of the soldier's enlistment. S. Pensions to survivors of rebel prisons * who are suffering from disability , without - proof that said disability arose from said im- prisonmeiit * 9. The following special rates of pensions : 10. To those who lost both eyes , or arms , D or legs , or an arm and a leg , or disability equivalent thereto , one hundred dollars per month. w 11. For amputation at the hip or shoulder Sj joint or .so near thereto as to prevent wearing th an artificial limb , fifty dollars per month. fe 12. For amputation of leg or arm above ev the knep or elbow , or amputation so near the he knee or elbow joint as to render the joint in useless , forty dollars per month. m 13. For amputation below the knee or elvi bow , thirty dollars per month. ni 14. Pensions to all honorably discharged th soldiers and sailors now disabled or depenbr lent upon their own labor for support , who th are sixty-live years of age , without proof vc that such disability arose from the service. co 15. Equalization of the bounties paid by ne the general government. sc This would provide pensions for the wid ows , the orphans , the dependent parents , the To prisoners of war , the aged , the disabled , the dependent absolutely for every one except the well and the rich , with a large increase 'or r.ll severe disabilities. To Senate bill 1SSO comprises , substantially , the most important of the above recommen dations ; it has passed the senate and is now ending in the house.

The great problems education are to be solved. Let us become masters of the opportunities before us. The vintage of the educational harvest is not more than half squeezed. The citizens of this great state , the great masses , are to be brought to a right appreciation of the work that is being done for their children.
