WOA'S OF VfiTJWAAW.
BUTTON , NEIL , May 10 , 188-1.
Mr.3'dltorof thoBoo :
I see by the local papers of this vicini
ty , that lodges are being established for
the "Son's of Veterans. " My father was
four years in the service and I nm there
fore the son of a volortm. Now what 1
would llko to have the DEI : toll mo is ,
whether sons of veterans are entitled tea
a pension. If soI shall join immediately.
Please to answer in your next number ,
i'ours very respectfully ,
JOHN HuMFoni ) .
This is a very plain question , plainly
put , and it deserves a plain answer. The
sons of voterons are not entitled to a pen
sion , under the present laws , and wo do
not believe they over will bo1 No gov
ernment on earth has over grantcda pen
sion to a second generation , unless they
wore the descendants of some illustrious
soldier , monarchor princowho inherited
revenues by their "blue blood. " In
this counh/ovon the sons of Lincoln ,
Grant and James A. Garfield have
no higher claims to a pension
than the soun of any
other American citizen. Pensions ore
granted only to soldiers disabled in the
military service and to their widows and
parents , who wore dependent upon them
for support. The votoron who has como
out of the war in robust health and sound
limbs has no right to a pension , much
less would the son of any such a veteran
have any claims for the services of his
father. If the sons of veterans wore to
bo pensioned the pension roll would grow
to proportions that would bankrupt the
nation. If the sons of veterans could
claim reward for the valor of their ances
tors , the grandsons and groat-grandsons
would have the same right to make such
a demand. Iho prime object of the
order known as " The Sons of Veterans"
a simply to perpetuate the memory of
heir fathers , who fought for the preser
vation of the union. It is of the same
character as the order of the Cincinnati ,
which was first organized by the survivors
of the revolutionary war , and has boon
continued by their descendants.
MA11SIIAL QUTllRIE.
MARSHAL GUTUIUE has soon fit to pub
iso over his own name what is intended
as a vindication of his course as chief of
> olico. Ho poses before the citizens of
) maha as a martyr and singles out THE
JEK ns the chief instigator of all com-
ilaints about his mal-adminlstration.
Although it is not true that Tin : BKK has
) eon alone in creating the prevailing bo-
lof that Marshal Guthrie is inolliclont
and corrupt , wo are willing to shoulder
ho entire responsibility for demanding
lis retirement.
Marshal Guthrie came into office under
very peculiar circumstances. IIo had no
lolitical claims on the republican party
or upon the mayor. Ho had rendered
no service in the election , and had no ox-
lorionco whatever in police affairs. li
was currently believed , at the time , that
lie owed his appointment wholly to im
proper influences , and his conduct since
iaa fully confirmed that opinion. When
Marshal Guthrie assumed the position of
chief of police ho issued a model sot of
regulations to govern the police. Those
regulations have boon a dead letter from
.ho . outset , and the police has not boon
much batter than a mob so far as disci-
) llno and efficiency are concerned. Po-
icemen on duty frequent saloons and
{ ambling houses at all hours of the day
and night , and mingle on terms of famil-
arity and friendship with the crooks ,
roughs and roustabouts , The vilest dons
are permitted to run night and day un
molested and a reign of lawlessness prevails -
vails in this city , which would discount
Cheyenne , Deadwood or Loadvillo ,
Marshal Guthrie tries to take shelter
behind very thin screens. Ho cites ox-
councilman McGuckin's resolution in
structing the marshal to notify the keep
ers of houses of ill-fame with
in two blocks of the third ward
school house , to vacate within thirty days ,
which ho flays was CXucutcJ to the loiter
by Captain Donahue , by his own instruc
tions. And then ho recites the fact that
this resolution was rescinded two months
later , to which fact ho ascribes the dissat
isfaction among citizens of the Third
ward. This is the merest bosh. It is no-
orious that the raid upon the Third ward
louses of ill-famo was a more blackmail-
ng job. The keepers were forced to
contribute $250 for being lot alone , and
ho money was divided between certain
officials whom Mr. Guthrie , as chief do-
.octivo , must have found out long ago.
In this connection the marshal points to
an array of figures that the gamblers and
icoopon ot disorderly houses have paid
into the police court during the post year
ending May 1st , $3,338 In fines and costs ,
This ia given to the public as evidence of
the marshal's Innocence of the charge
that a largo portion of the gamblers and
prostitutes are bled and the money ap
propriated by somebody.
The figures which the marshal pro.
ducea aflord no proof whatever of hit
efficiency. The system of blooding anc
blackmailing has boon prevalent in thii
city for many years. It is not only i
fraud and disgrace upon the city , but ai
1 outrage upon the victims. Marsha
Guthrie ia not the first marshal who ha
connived at such things , but that ia n
reason why the system should bo contiu
uod. While it is true that Marrtu
Guthrie reports from 40 to CO prostitute
to the police court , there are fully thro
times as many known to the police. Ar
two-thirds of these women allowed to g
free , and if not , whore does the mono
go to ? Marshal Guthrie boasts tin
moro money is being collected for U ;
school f and than over before , but ho fo
gets that Omaha contains 25,000 inoi
people than it did in 1880 , and certain !
more than twice as many outlaws.V
will quote the concluding portion of M :
Outline's appeal for sympathy , for hewn
own benefit :
c'Tooling conscious of the rootitudo (
lay courao and motives , I defy any on
to point to a single ca o of malfeasance
on my part , and for the information of
any of these who are endeavoring to ac
complish my removal , I would statOf that
the Hilary attached to the position , is the
munificent ono of ctyhty-thrcc dollars
and thirty-three and one third cents
per month.
"In conclusion I hereby "pronounce all
the unfavorable insinuations which have
appeared in print in reference to my offi
cial acts/a/flc and maUciaus in each
and every particular. "
Wo take the Marshal at his word ,
IIo defies any ono to name a single case of
malfeasance , and wo will namoit. There
is in this city n disorderly house , kept by
ouo Jack Nugent. That place has for
yoara boon the resort of the lawless nlo-
mont of the city. Men have boon rob
bed , beaten , and oven murdered , in this
house. Marshal Guthrie knows all
this. Protest after protest hns boon
made by respectable men and women ,
whoso sons havo-boon led into immor
al habits and a bad lifo through this re
sort. What further proof is their need
ed that Marshal Guthorio has either
shirked his duty or ia in connivance with
the keepers of dangerous resorts. W
have a fair number of policeman , and
%
most of them would bo glad to do their
duty if a proper example was sot by their
chief. Within the past week several of
our prominent citizens have boon hold up
by highwaymen in the stroota'andplacesof
business have boon entered and robbed ,
Ono of our merchants , Mr. Pollack , who
resides within ono block of the now
court-house , was stopped by highway
men , in front of police headquarters , before -
fore midnight , while on his way homo
ono night last wook. Another was man
ager niioom , of the Western Union tolc-
graph. Another case was that of a man
on Sixteenth street , who was slugged
between Dodge and Capital avenue , last
Saturday night.
The laws require every officer to pre
vent prize-fights and arrest parties who
are known to bo in training or intend
to become participants as seconds
ends , referees , judges , &c. The
marshal and police know all about the
preparations , and mingled freely with the
pugilists and their gang. Did the mar
shal tfcko the first stop to prevent the
fight , as ho was in duty bound ? If Mar
shal Guthrie has done his duty fearlessly
and honestly , as ho claims , why was it
that his conduct was a subject of investi
gation by n grand jury ? It is currently
believed that that grand jury did indict
the marshal , but owing to some improper
Influence , revoked their indictment. Was
this investigation stated byr ialso innuen
does by the BKI : ( How docs the marshal
explain away that scandal ? It is true
that our marshal only receives a thou
sand dollars a year , which is loss than a
competent man ought to bo paid for such
a responsible trust. But Marshal Guthrie
rio know what his pay was to bo when ho
accepted the position , and ho has no right
to plead poor pay. for his inefficiency. In
conclusion lot us remind him that
ho is not now resisting a removal
from office but pleading for roappoint-
mont. His term has expired and in view
of his bad record ho should bo content to
retire. This Is no personal quarrel , but
a matter of public concern. The citizens
of Omada have a right to demand pro
tection at the hands of our police , from
violence , robbery and lawlessness. Mar
shal Guthrie has failed to give them that
protection and they now look to the
mayor and council for relief.
THK passage by the sonata of the house
bill to permit the construction of a second
railroad bridge at Omaha is now an ao-
complishod fact. There ia no doubt
whatever that the bill will bo signed by
the president. It now remains for the
capitalists who have incorporated the now
bridge company to atop forward and
plank down their money for the proposed
structure. That a wagon and railroad
bridge will pay handsomely there is no
doubt , providing it is honestly built and
no moro ntock is issued than would repre
sent the money actually paid in. The
citizens of Omaha are indebted largely
for this projected improvement to the
efforts of Senators Mandorson and Van
Wyck and Congressman Weaver ; who
ave succeeded in carrying this measure
hrough , in aplto of almost insurmount-
bio obstacles and factious opposition.

AH to Arthur ,
Denver Tribune ,
The facts about Arthur. Four yor.i-
have wrought n remarkable transforma-
tion'm'repubHcarrpolilics in Now York.
Four yoaraj o what was known as the
machine , with Conkling at the head , was
in full control Arthur was regarded as
the brilliant lloicoo's first lieutenant and
was credited with holding the position by
virtue of his great ability as an organizer.
As a reward for his services in this capac
ity , and as a concession to the stalwarts
by the triumphant wing of the party , ho
the nomination
was given vice-presidential
tion at Chicago. The civil service ro-
formora of Now York were shocked. They
denounced the nomination in unmeasured
terms. But a mooting with Garfield wai
arranged and the party was saved.
Now the Conkling machine is opposed
to Arthur and the Civil Service Reformers -
ors and the bolter elements of the party
are warmly supporting him. This
change has not boon brought about by
any change in the character of the presi
dent. IIo is certainly not a worse man
now than when ho was collector of the
pore In Now York. Ho has not been
false to any duty or to any trust. Ho
has not turned his back on his friends.
Ho has simply regarded his oath of offi
ce and risen to the dignity of the exalted
position ho occupies. Ho has had no
policy to enforce against the will of the
people. Instead of attempting to rule
thorn ho has allowed them to rule him.
IIo manfully refused to offend the senti
ment of the nation by removing Garficld's
friends from office in order to make
room for hungry place hunters who for
merly belonged to his own machine. In
refusing to do this ho has done all that
in him lies to nullify Guitoau'a bullet.
The idea that every political bummer
in Now York who happened to bp ap
pointed to a customs inspectorship by
Collector Arthur , was entitled to a for
eign mission from President Arthur , is
at the bottom of machine opposition to
him. Thuso old subordinates of his
claim to have been his chums , and loud
ly complain that ho has gone back on
them. The truth is they never were his
men. When ho appointed thorn ho ws *
not the real collector of the port of New
York , Ho was simply an appointed
clerk for Senator Conkling. The bum
mers were Conkling'a selections , and
were chosen for their ability to carry
certain districts. Arthur was a politician
Ho accepted the only method in vogue.
But ho did not necessarily approve them ,
and as soon as ho reached a place where
his own will , and not another's governed
his appointment , ho quickly lot the
country see that ho believed in choosing
government officials with some regard
for their qualifications for the places they
were to fill.
The breach between.Qonkling .and Ar
thur is duo wholly to the latter's refusal
to continue to bo a moro appointment
clerk for the former , who wanted to bo
the roar President and to humiliate his
friend to the moat object servility. Even
of Arthur had been willing to play the
degrading role which Conkling exacted ,
ho could not have done so without com
mitting essential perjury. The office he
holds is doubly a trust. The presidency
is a trust hold for the benefit of the en
tire country and not for the advantage of
the Pioaidont's relatives and friends.
But the presidency hold by a Vice Presi
dent succeeding a man , who was the
choice of the people and who was assassi
nated In order to remove his appointees
from office , is a sort cf oxecutorsnip and
should boas sacredly and faithfully dis
charged as the circumstances will permit.
The country is gratified with the manner
in which the President has acquited him
self in a situation whoso embarrassments
seemed almost appalling. The party is
united and certain of success because ho
has done so well. Republicans may dif
fer honestly as to renominating him , but
there can bo no doubt that his adminis
tration deserves a unanimous and
hearty endorsement from the national
convention.

To the cool observer of the | course of
the stock market during the last few
years , the wonder will bo not that there
should have been so many failures in
Wall street , but that there should have
boon so few. A brief table will illus
trate the shrinkage of values bettor than
any amount of comment. Hero are the

iug the excesalvo depreciation in llama ,

the fall in prices between May , 1881 , anc
July , 1883. Assuming an average decline
cline in stock of 22 per cent , and hal
that average beclino in bonds , it wa
estimated by a writer in Jhtllion that th
railroad securities of the United State
had Buffered in two yoara a gross docroas
in value of 81,000,000,000. Since Jul ;
lost the uvorago decline has boon quit
as great an that of the two prccoodin

fall from the highest quotations for th
railroad securities of the country equo

rich which can stand such wholesale sacrifice
rifico of capital without bringing wide
