THE political managers of the Union Pacifiio Imvo opcnod the campaign by laying ofl several hundred mechanics from the railroad shops whom they expect to tnko back juat about the time they intend to raid the primar ies. This thumb-screw policy is ex pected to bring workingmen to tarms , but it may Imvo the same oflbot that the coercion bill had in Ireland. SKNATOU WINDOM hits the nail on the head when ho Bays that these con gressmen who , because the thermometer - otor stands at ninety degrees , dare face their constituanta without hood ing their clearly expressed demand for cheaper food and cheaper clothing , will find it very ranch warmer when they stand for ro-olootion in Novem ber. IT is said that the question "Does prohibition prohibit , " is already as suming gigantic proportions ic Iowa. A druggist's customer asked for a gal lon of whisky and was himself asked : "For medicinal , mechanical , culinary or Bacramontal purposes ? " "Mechani cal , I guess , " replied the customer.

No crop thermometer la ao accurate as the produce boards in the great cities and ho railroad Block market has risen rapidly in sympathy with the glowing reports received from every great trade center. Great crops mean lower Hour and lower beef , a higher purchasing power for a dollar and consequently bettor if not in creased wages for workingmen. ONE of these days the railroad com panies , west and east , will leant the lesson that cheap faros increase ro- coipU ) . Street car companies in three eastern cities Imvo suddenly discov ered this fact greatly to their surprise. In Now York the stage lines , who feared an enormous loss of business as soon aa the elevated railroads opened for traffic , reduced their faros fifty per cent , and since that time have de clared aa largo dividends as boforo. In Philadelphia the same result has followed , while in Baltimore the city etreot car company which reduced fare * to 0 cents has foutd its receipts in the first quarter increased to $174 , . 193 , aa against 8103,020 for the same time last year , NAVY LtQISL-ATION Since the close of the great civ war , in which the United States nav Inst aaw active service , no measures < of such a swooping nature looking ti ward its reorganization as that passe ycsttrday by the senate has bee brought before congress. Tno fortj second congress , under the loadorahi of Senator Logan , made a wide read ing reorganization of the nrmy , and th present session has witnessed the pai sago of the compulsory rotiromontlaw But the navy has remained practical ! untouched a gigantic and top-hoav establishment in which the govern niout has paid men to do nothin and appropriated millions of dollars t maintain sinecure oflicors on decayln hulks. The pressing ncod of n thoi ough overhauling of the navy has boo : apparent for yonra. Nothing but th inoniod influence of great contractor and the social influence of gold lacoi and knock-kneed old salts have prevented vented action on the part of congrcs ooking towards an increase o cfllcicncy , and n decrease of expend ! turcs. No nation with three oxcop lions during the last four years havi spent morn on their navies than oui own. From 1870 to 1870 $160,000,00 ( vvoro appropriated , while fron 1877 to 1881 over 875,000,000 wore expended , making a total of 8285,000 , ' 000 expended in cloven years for the maintenance of our naval establish' ' lishmont. Statistics prove that ol this vast amount over one-half wet spent on salaries of officers and mor In a navy of no ships. With n llool af 30 slcaiu vessels in commission the United States has 2,400 officers or pay , while the British navy , with 311 , lias only 2,700 line officers. Enor. mousBums have boon recklessly squan- lorod by contractors in repairing nrorm-oaton hulks which wcro com pleted only to bo condemned. Over 53,000,000 have boon spent in a naval istablishmont in the Mediterranean , .rhoro wo have no interests , Thilo our ships on the South Amort- : an coast , where wo have , could bo icattorod by a single Ohillun iron- : Iad. Gross mismanagement , if not iboolulo dishonesty , has character- zed the ontim operation of the navy md the interests nnd prestige of the : ounlry have BHll'jrod , while do- lothing officers and unscrupulous ionlractois have grown fal over the inpropriations from the national Toasury. Our naval academy , main- nine J during the past five years at in expense of $3,000,000 , has kept ; rinding out offisora for whom there ma no notivo positions. Old ugn , hnvo been sand-papered md calked , now fences have boon > uilt around useless navy yards , but rho iron clad flout has remained un- : oinforcad , and the wooden hulks of irorn and worm oaten vessels have joen patched and ropatohod in ordei o expend the treasury surplus and illbrd occupation to lands shoremen n the yards. The naval appropriation bill makes radical und swooping reform. It nakos a reduction in ornamental ox- icndituro of a million a year , and urther reduces the number of officers , nd decreases the salary account by early half n million of dollars nn- ually. It closw the door to the woritism which has inido the larino crops the asylum for xmily Influence , by filling II naval vacancies , marine and staff , 9 well aa line , from the naval acad- my. A commission is to bo appoint * d to dcoido PS to which navy yards in bo sold to advantage and n largo ppropriatlon for construction and ro- air is granted upon the express con- itlon that no part of the Burn is to 0 applied to repairs on wooden VOB- ) ls. ls.Thoso These nro the chief provissions of 10 naval bill. It is a sharp slap in 10 face of Mr. llohoson , whoso naval lininistration IB in aa bad flavor with is republican associates in congress 1 it is in the judgment of every lion- it and acbor minded voter of all par es throughout the country. The Ku- jpoan crisis has shown theuttor worth- issiioss of our navy , and congreas has ikon the first atop towards putting ur establishment on a sound and sol- I peace basis. THE PRESIDENTS VETO. Contrary to expectation in many uitrlors , President Arthur has ro- irnod the river and harbor bill to ingress with his veto. This action ill meet the approval of the great injority of American people , regard- IBS of party. The river and harbor ill , as passed by congreas , was n lonstroua job. Of nearly nineteen lillions appropriated , more than one- urd was no batter than a downright eal. Several millions designed for nproving duck ponds und crooks that ever can bo made navigable were in iality intended as plunder for n ordo of sharks that prey upon the nintry through this channel. The president could hardly sane- on aucli raids upon the national roasury without being justly held ro- Donaiblo as nn accessory , It required good deal of buck bono to veto this ill in the faci' of the priaauro that aa brouiht ? to bear upon him , Ho waa not only besieged by con- rossmon und senators th t had la- oroJ for months on thia monster job ut protests , petitions end remon- ranees poured upon the president oin chambers of commerce , boarda of trade and municipal oflicors in citic and soctiona that were munificentl provided for in the bill , The people of the Mississippi an Missouri valleys who are deeply intoi ostod in the projected improvement c the great rivers will deplore th president's veto , which for a time n least may deprive them of muc needed transportation faciltios. Bu they will hardly blame the the prcsi dent for doing his duty. They wi ! cheerfully submit to n few month delay , rather than see the countr robbed of millions. There is still possibility that congress will act upoi the suggestions of the president bcfor adjourning , by passing the bill wit ! all objectionable features omitted , o by passing the bill with the provis that the expenditure for the prcson season shall bo optional with th prosidonU A TREACHEROUS MEMORY. The wounded bird flutters. Ou brief nnd pointed allusion to the con trust between the abhoronco in whicl Tin : BEB and Its editor aio just not hold by the late clerk of Mr. Valon tlno , and the desire of that person ti associate his naino with the cditoria department of THK Biu only a fet months ago has struck a very tondoi chord. The nraatcur journalis ! takes up n whole colutnr of the llcpulticin with a personal explanation > planation concerning this episode Like his dear friend , Val's man Fri day , Dr. Schwonck , ho has a vorj tioachorous memory. Possibly w < can refresh it by presenting a conclsi statement of the true inwardness o his overtures for n position on Tin BEB. BEB.Thnro Thnro never has boon mucl love lost between the sonio : editor of the Jttpullican , Mr , Brooks , and the juvenile ju nior that founded and founderec the Omaha Actw. Last fall a rupture took ploco that left the junior out ir the cold , MootinR the editor of THE BEI : on Farnham street , in front of the courl lionooono - day , ho accosted him nnd bluntly asked whether ho could secure i position as assistant editor. Stag gered by this rather abrupt proposal , the editor ot THE BKK expressed aomc 3oabt , and nskod for time to csnsidor the matter , A few lays later Mr. Valentino'a clerk Jelled at the editor's residence \nd there tried to convince the writer ; hat ho could bo of great ndv.intago to Tun BEE through his wealthy rela tives nnd personal friends who wore then unfriendly to THE BEK. Ho also axprosaod a doairo to take a pecuniary interest in THK BEE by investing in stock. He was informed that the company had all the means it needed and no stock to sell , but ho might ba nblo to purchase the etock hold by brothers of the editor should liis proposal bo accepted. It was pointed out to him that * his pronounced stand in favor of monop olies , and his dotonio of their most } utragoous exactions would unfit him "or editorial service on THE BEE. Ho thought this would bo overcome by rigorous assaults upon the rail roads , md an exposure of the corrupt nnd llsroputable methods of his former ifloociates in the U. P. ring. Ho Iwolt at length upon his ability to tarry the war into" Africa by using ho information ho had obtained * tfo definite answer was pivon him , lowovor , but ho was requested to call it THE BEE ofiico at 4 p. m. Ho did mil , nnd there was mot by the busi- loss manager , Mr. Souor , who in- brmod him that his application could tot bo entertained. This is n truth- ul and unvarnished history cf the icgotlatlons. Meantime the young man hnd ; ivou it out at Fremont that 10 wns engaged as assistant editor if THE BKE , and the Fremont mpors published this statement , but n ow daya later , they announced that ho juvenile editor had refused an iffor from THIS BEI : because ho would tot bind hinnolf to the concern for hroo years nnd would not promise to upport Rosowntor'a policy. This lownright falsehood roiupglled us to iiake n Hat contradiction , which took ho wind out of the young man's sails , nd nothing more wna hoard of this. Now that ho has resumed his rola- ions with the Union Pacific monopoly 10 trios to cover his tracks by coining i tissue of falsehoods which contradict hemsolvos on the face. Ho proves limself a contemptible sneak capable if doing anything for money , by userting that his voluntary coming ivor to THE BKK would not lave changed his views , but Hint 10 would have worked us a machine , nd always hated and despised the nan whoso confidence ho w s Booking , 'his is in keeping with his present ourao , Ho asserts that the barrier o Ilia employment on THE BEE was iia refusal to buy stock hold by irolhors if the editor at Cleveland , IB it happens that those brothers ave never oflored their slock or Balot , nnd have drawn clivi- ends thereon with which they ro satisfied this pretense is very fishy nd it appears the more absurd that lie writer should prefer Val'a clerk a his business partner to his own rothors. Ilo tries to drag in the oad ex-senator , whom nobody.nbusod lore vigorously aix years ago than ! iat young man with the treacherous memory. Give the calf rope cnouf and ho will choke himself. About Pensions. S n Francisco I hronlcle. From the formation of the govcn mont down Jo the year 1880 there he boon paid out for pensions to soldio $590,404,101. In the year 1880 U payments amounted to § 30,777,174 ; i 1881 to $50,700,031 ; nnd the bill f < the year ended Juno 30 , 1882 , wi 810,000,000. The estimates for tl current fiscal year ending Juno 3 ( 1883 , call for 8103,000,000. And appears that 873,000,000 will bo nhoi the average for the next ton year ending Juno 30 , 1893. After thn there will bo n gradual dropping froi the rolls ; but it in assorted that th requirements for the ultimate extini lion of thia item of expenditure wi bo , first and lost , from the bogimiir of the civil war to the death of tL last pensioner the enormous sum i 82,000,000,000. , It has always boon the policy of ou government to pension its private BO diora as well as the officers. Tl policy was inaugurated as early i 1789 , It was extended afterward t the soldiers of the war of 1812-lf anel it was reaffirmed in favor of th Union soldiers in the late civil wai In addition to this the govornmci has made grants of land small farm to its private soldiers. All politici parties have assented to this policy It rests upon the reasonable thoor that if the republic is worth defont itiK its defenders should bo taken cat of nnd protected from want when ng and wounds received in war huvo ii : capacitated them from labor. Nether other modern government has adoptoi this system. In England only th officers are pensioned , and the sain rule holds all over Europe , though i the civil Bcrvico privates , such n policemenaf _ tor ago has incapacitate ! them , or disease , are put on the pen siou roll. Wo believe there is no pat nllol in history for our pension systei to private soldiers. The closest ap proximatiou to it is the ancient Ro man plan of distribution of land ainon the legionaries , to which Cswar ani others added moneyed grntuiticB- money that they robbed the troasur ; nnd defeated factions of. The eni porora were forced to keep up thi system to conciliate the nrmy , am often it happened that the people won in favor of the aspirant who wna rich cat and most liberal in his dona tions to the Pmtorians. Onci they put they empire up at auction I the highest bidder , and the evil ex ample at laat made the army masto of the senate and the ompcrore , am led to the ruin of the empire. Ou sy a torn is not amenable to that objcc tion. Wo have only the shadow , tin skeleton , of a regular nrmy , whicl cannot bo a menace to the govern mont. Our pensionaries are citizen soldiers , retired to peaceful pursuits und the only objections to it are (1 ( that it ontnila an enormous expanse and (2) ( ) that it is open to frauds. Bu it is bettor to bear the enormous cos af the pensions than to discouragi patriotism in defense of the republic itid it is practicable to ollminati Fraud from the system , thouc ; ! congress and the pension buroai liavo not so far succeeded it the endeavor. Besides , the yoarlj payments to the pensioners nro quick ly put into circulation again , and verj little of the amount goes out of thi country. _ The nation that takes can af its citizen-soldiers will always , it every extremity , find citizon-soluien tor its defense when it needs thorn while the nation that does not thai treats its private soldiers like so mnnj warnout cavalry horses turned out tc starve will have to depend on stand' ing armies or on foreign morcennriet when war IB forced upon it. Hoavj is this item of yearly expenditure it to the government , thanka to these ir lyhoGo favor it is , and who saved th ( nation from collapse and ruin , the expense ponso is ao distributed as hardly to be : olt by the people.

A good story is told The Post at th expense of Colonel Robio , the "farm era" candidate" for Governor of Mninu Some ton years ago , nt the time whoi the epizooty was generally prevalent n cortnin York county man waa engaged gaged in hauling goods to and fron the freight depots at Portland , ushij oxen instead of horses. All of hi own stock waa in use , nnd ho wa obliged to buy several more yokea it order to keep up with the demands o his customers. Ono day ho chancoc to meet Colonel Robio in a railroai car , the Colonel on route to Gorham where ho resides upon a largo am highly cultivated ancestral farm. Thi Colonel and the York county man en gaged in conversation , and during iti progress the former said : "William , what are you paying foi oxen now ? " "That depends"replied William. "Well , " said the OoloneJ , "got of with mo at Gorham nnd come over t < my place and look at n yoke of mine handsome as pictures ; splendid pulloro and you mTy ( have 'ocn nt a bargain. ' The invitation was accepted , ant soon our York county friend lounc himself in front of the Robio mansion most beautifully situatedjin the mids of fields of waving grass , surroundec by grand old elms , and itself an old' fashioned but sumptuously turniahoc house , beneath whoso roof its prosonl owner has paasod many happy houn and entertained with genuine hospl tality a host of friends.

' Now , Jim had been enjoying hlmsoll that day , and it was not surprising that ho made an occasional mistake. "All right , air , " remarked the hired man , and soonn handsoiro pair of cattle - tlo were in the yard. But they didn't show off well ; they didn't pull well ; they acted , in fact , as though the devil wcro in them. The genial Colonel waa puzzled. "Jim , " ho called out in tones of ming led disgust and nngor ; "Jim , what in thunder have you boon doing to 'em ? " "Nothing to-day but feeding thorn , sir , " replied Jim respectfully. "But don't tell mo that , " responded the Colonel , "because you have boon lick ing 'em. " Jim indignantly denied that aueh waa the fact , whereupon the far mer's candidate aaid : "Jim , give me that goad , " and with n "back-up , " " 'sh 'ah , " "a goo star , " etc. , the Col onel endeavored to have the animal show oil to advantage. But to the in tense delight of our friend William , and to Jim also , for that matter , the yoke of dark rods ccted worse than before. "I don't BOO for the life of me what's got into the critters , " chipped in the Colonel , in evident disgust at their contrariness. "I never know 'era to not thia wny before " "Well , Colonel , " aaid the York county mau , "I have ECOII your oxon , now what's your price ) " "Well , being's you , " said the Col- ; > ol , deliberately , and with n squint jf ono of his laughing eyes , "I'll lot 'em ' co for an oven 8250.
