Tlifro have been BOIHO bravo
spoken In congress by republicans who
have the Iwsl interests of the old sol
diers at heart In opposition to extrava
gant pcMi.sion legislation , but It nppcnrrt
to have produced very little effect. Gen
eral Hawley , himself an old soldier with
n conspicuous record for gallant and use
ful service , a short tljno itgo told the
senate that the disposition to enor
mously Increase the pension obli
gations of the government ww jn
danger of being carried too far , with
the ofTect of doing grave Injustice"
to u largo majority of the people by Im
posing upon them a heavier burden of
taxation and porlmpa ultimately Imperil
ing the just claims of the old soldiers by
creating a powerful public sentiment
hostile to till pensions. IIo favored iv
lilwral policy of pensions for dependent
soldiers , but ho deprecated , as did
General Grant nnd many others whoso
regard for the .welfare of the , veterans
none of them can doubt , loading
the government with pension
obligations for men who do not
need * such benefaction , able-
bodied nnd physically sound mt'n who
arc entirely capable of self-support and
men who have ample means at their
command. To give such men an allow
ance from the public treasury was In the
opinion of General llawley a wrong to
the needy soldier as well tia to every cit
izen who contributes to the support of
the government , and many equally dis
tinguished opinions to a Ukoeffect might
bo quoted.
This may have had some effect In the
senate , but was entirely without In
fluence with the houso. The senate
passed a dependent pension bill , which
it was estimated . would add
from thirty-five to forty million dollars
annually to the pension obligations of
the government. But dependent old
soldiers who did honorable service nro
entitled to the care of the government ,
and Mils addition to the treasury dis
bursements on pension account would
have been accepted as just by the great
majority of the people. This measure ,
however , did not go far enough to satisfy
the house , and ou Wednesday that body
pwaed : ti substitute for It which proposes
to still further enlarge' the pension
outlay , raining the total expendi
ture , according to the estimate of Mr.
Grosvonor , a republican representative
from Ohio , , not less than ono hundred
and llfty miHion dollars a year , nearly
forly-throo per cent of the gross income
of the government. "It w.vs munificent
generosity , " ronvirkod the Ohio con
gressman , "such as the world had never
boforcT'witncsjjed and exceeding that of
all civilized nations combined. " This
measure proposes to place on the pension
roll the name of any olllcor or en
listed man of sixty years or
over who served ninety days or more
in the war and received an honorable
discharge , the pension to continue dur
ing life at the rate of eight dollars per
month. It alsa provides that all per
sons who served ninety days or moro
and were honorably discharged , and are
now or may hereafter bo suffering from
mental or physical disability , shall upon
duo proof be placed upon the list of in
valid pensioners at eight dollars per
month. The widow of auy soldier is to
receive a pension when she shall arrive
at sixty years or bo without other sup-
Dort than dnilv labor.
Is thio a just measure , considering what
is duo both to the- soldiers who per
formed military service and to the whole
people ? Is it'notafuct that thousands of
the ninety-day men never did any service ,
before the enemy and did not leave their
state * ) ? -Yet under this bill they would
have an equal claim with men who risked
their lives in battle and experienced the
hardships and privations of .tho march
and the camp , while under the
sixty year provision some of them
would come into possession of
a pension before veterans pf the last
three years of the war. Thus a ninety
day man who was thirty-ono years old
when the war broke out and returned to
civil life , which ho practically may
never have loft , as soon as the three
months expired , would if this bill were a
law bo entitled to receive at anco a pen
sion of eight dollars a month , while the
man of twenty-live years who enlisted In
18 2 qr 181W and served tojlho end of the
war would have to wait seven or
eight years longer before coming
into h'ls ago pension. Will the veterans
regard this as just ? Would it not bo
grossly unjust ? True , there may
bo few survivors among the ninety
day men who did not ro-cnlist , but
few or many , they should not
bo given the same- consideration as
the veterans , oven where they performed
actual service before the enemy. It is
no less unjust to the whole poopto to
propose paying a pension to nil soldiers
who attain the age of sixty regard-
Ics of tholr condition In life.
There are thousands who would
have the right under this bill to claim
eight dollars a month who are in inde
pendent circumstances , and it would bo
nothing short of n robbery of the people
to pay them any sum out of the public
treasury.
It has boon said that the tendency of
our pension le lsl'utlon Is to do ) > reoiulo
the popular-Idea of patriotism , and it
cannot bo doubted that such measures as
that which passed the house on
Wednesday must have this effect.
The now generation , however well
taught to believe that It wtia unselfish
love of country which bent men from the
comforts and security ot homo to the
hardships of the camp and the perils of
the battlefield , may learn to think dif
ferently after being constantly con
fronted with now demands , many of
which cannot bo defended upon any
principle of justice. There } s a duty to
speak plainly and honestly of this mut
ter which concerns the true interest und
welfare of the old soldiers , In whoso behalf -
half THU BKE has always boon out-
'spoken , quite an much as that of the gen-
'oral public of which they tire a part.
1,01' OFF TllK TAX'K.ITRHS ,
Our city physician calls attention to
the contrast between Omaha und St.
Paul ns regards the health ofllcor's staff
nnd the means at his disposal. We uro
told that Str Paul employs n health
commissioner , an assistant coiu.mlbsloner ,
three city physicians , several clerks anil
sixteen inspectors , Whoso salaries and
espouses aggregate forty thousand del
lars nyonr , Avh lid Omaha only employs
ono physician nt twenty-four hundred
dollars n year , with an additional allow
ance of three thousand dollars a year for
expenses of the board of health.
This Is a marked contrast , to bo sure.
It shows that St. Paul has 5 # 0od many
moro tax-enters than Otnnhn. But St.
Paul can afford to bo more extravagant
*
St. Paul ls aft older city , n wealthier
city , nnd a larger city than Omaha. Her
assessed valuation Is ono hundred mil
lions , nnd consequently her resources
nro very much greater than those of
Omaha.
But the point raised by THR BEE Is
that Omuhn has already too many super
numeraries on the city pay-roll. Wo have
trebled Our police force within thrco
yean , and established half n dozen
boards nnd commissions , with high-
salaried clerks nnd retainers.
If the Inspection of milk requires the
employment of a specialist , why cannot
the board of health pay for the service
out of the thrco thousand dollars which
the council has placed at its disposal ?
The memnars of the board nro all city
ofllclals drawing fair salaries. There id
no reason why they should got extra pay
for discharging duties that devolve upon
them incidentally as city officials.
TIIR VOTLY OF IT.
It is stated .that' the moro judicious
among the supporters of prohibition In
Iowa since the decision of the federal
supreme court declaring unconstitu
tional state la\y which provide for the
seizure of liquor Imported from other
states while In the original package in
the hands of Importers , are confessing
that it is folly to maintain n' system
which it is now plain cannot possibly be
'
made 'effective without congressional
legislation. The serious nature of the
blow to prohibition administered by that
decision is overywho rorecognizcd. How
ever rigorously the state law may bo
executed within its limitations , however
largo and vigilant the constabulary
provided for its enforcement , it cannot -
not keep liquors out of the state nor prevent -
vent their use by any one who shall pur
chase them in another state. The power
of seizure , so essential , as Iho authority
of the supreme court hold , to the com
plete operation of the prohibitory law , is
denied to the state , und its oflicers are
helpless to prevent the entrance into the
state of any amount of liquors
which its citizens may have ' 'Con
signed to them from another state. The
last hope of making prohibition com
plete in Iowa was in the act providing
for the seizure of liquors coming into
the state. This has boon destroyed by
the supreme court decision.
It ought to bo clear to all men who
can take a calm and sensible view of the
.situation that it is the gravest possible
folly to continue a policy which , having
failed of its purpose under the most
favorable condition to , success , is
now placed hopelessly beyond the
possibility of enforcement. If
there are any who balievo that con
gressional legislation mity ba secured to
accomplish what the state law is power
less to do they will bo wine.in dismissing
such faith. The authority of congress
to give permission to the state to exclude -
cludo liquors from another state appears
to bo conceded in the supreme court decision
cision and is perhaps not to bo doubted ,
but the probability of congress over
granting such permission to any state is
extremely remote. Free commercial in
tercourse butwoen the states is a
most vital principle that congress will
never bo likely to impair , since to do so
would most surely lead to consequences
of a very serious character. The only
wise and practicable thing to do is to
substitute for the inoperative and costly
prohibitory law a policy of high license
with local option.Vmd it ought to bo pos
sible to accomplish this before the next
regular meeting of tno legislature. Gov
ernor Bolo,3 was elected upon this issue ,
receiving thousands of republican votes.
Ho can attest the sincerity of his pro
fessed convictions regarding the liquor
question by calling an extra session of
the legislature to exclusively consider
the question. A week ago 'such a sug
gestion as this might pr.oparly have been
deemed unworthy of consideration. It
cannot reasonably bo so regarded no w ,
when there must bo both republican and
democratic supporters of prohibition who
appreciate the futility .of longer continu
ing that policy.
There Is suggestive mtittor in this for
the intelligent rollectlon of the friends of
prohibition elsewhere who are disposed
to substitute that policy for .high license
and local option , and suoh u wjll give it
serious and candid consideration will
have little dllllculty in seeing the error
of their position.
XKIj IllUII.VHD HlNTON' , WHO hllB

What ho docs not know about irrigation
is hardly worth knowing. As an engineer
ho has distinguished hlui.-wlf in various

acknowledgment of his faithful work for

year. The colonel and .profess
or was assistant secretary to
the commission which junketed
in the west hust .summer and
succeeded without the knowledge
or consent o ( his superiors , in signing
himself "engineer to the Hur.voy. " The
slgnitlcavico of the appointment lies in
the fact that the pronunt chief of govern
ment mtrvoyorri bus not encouraged born
geniuses and lt la necessary for the
good of the service to curb his tuwuinp-
tlon of authority. The public can rest
assured that the artesian irrigation
problem will receive a spirited tussle
from Colonel Illnton as long as the
money holds out.
lamentations : of the prohibitionists

ONE MORE TAX-KATER.
OMAUA , Neb. , April .TO. To the Editor of
THE Bnn : Your editorial entitled "OuaMorc
Tax-Eater" betrays such a misapprehension
of facts that I bog leave to correct you. The
board of health did not recommend the up-
.pointment of u city chemist at $50 per month ,
but requested Unit that sum bo provided
monthly for analyses. It was not expected
that such an amount would bo necessary each
month , but there were ' months the coming
summer months..qspcc'iully in which' that
sum , perhaps CY.OIJ more , would bo needed.
You may bo sure that the board of health is
not going to spcml'ono dollar of its meager ul-
lowanco of tOOU unnecessarily. As to ana
lyses by physician's , , I would remuid you that
chemistry has came to bo a most elaborate
and exact scieiiL-ejirequirliig elaborate outllts
of special appliances nnd special training. It
is easy to make analyses in u sort of way and
stilt more easy to find those who nro willing
to undertake such worlc , but an analysis that
is accurate BO ens to bo a iinnlity is
within the power only of those
specially equipped ! and trained. Ordinary
tests are generally n moro waste of
time aud money. , Apropos of this-pcrmit mete
to invite your attention to what thu city phy
sician is already doing in Omaha compared
with cities of the sumo rank. In St. Paul ,
for examplc , thereis-a health commissioner
iat a siilaj.-y.of SJrMlper year-with1' on assist
ant nt gl MX ) per year , two 'and sometimes
thrco physiclutis , a clerk nnd registrar of
vital statistics and sixteen inspectors and
employes in various capacities , nt salaries of
S&O per annum , making the total expense of
the department between SIO.IXK ) nndS.Y,000 )
per year , and tlio people 01 bt. Paul niter a
three years' trial of this system unanimously
agree that it pays , tlio death rale having been
reduced from sixteen per thousand to ten.
Omaha expects this entire work the work of
twenty to bo done by one city physician and
ono Insicctbr ] , and Instead of $40,000 , , 1,000 is
to bo expended in doing it. The result Is that
iuSt. Paul the work is done , the sanitary con
dition of the city is something for every citi
zen to be proud of and feel secure in , such
that it attracts the best classes of citizeus
from all over the country , while in Omaha all
is dune that can bo done with the limited
means at our disposal.
It has been a source of much gratification
that this movement for bettor sanitation "has
been so cordially endorsed by all the papers.
Without such support , those who have this
undertaking in hand , can do nothing aud
things must bo allowed to go on in tno old
way. With it , in tlmo ovcrything can be ac
complished that is needtul and Omaha bo
placed in the front rank of cities not only us
regards prosperity , bnttlmtwhich is thobasis
of ull prosperity health.

The I'ontlrr Makes nn Appeal to tlio
German IllHlinp.s.
ICopi/rfoM ts l > u Jainc * donlon litnnrtt , }
UO.MC , May 1. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to TUB BBB. ] The pope has re
deemed his promise to Inaugurate world-wide
social reform movements. Leo Xfll. has be
gun his tremendous tusk by writing a pow
erful appeal to the Gorman bishops , urging
them to nt'onco begin n crusade' In defense
of society civilization against the revolution
ary spirit of socialism. This important doc
ument Is addressed to Archbishop ICromenoz
of Cologne , and was made public by the Vat
ican last night. ItMvlll bo followed by sim
ilar pontifical rescripts to the other-nations.
The pope declares that ho does not Ignore the
vast dangers and difficulties with which the
social question has surrounded them ; that ho
has deeply reflected on tbo causes and true
remedies. Ho declares ho has promised to do
all In his power to solve the gluut question of
tno time. The pope assorts that tno ctiurcirs
part In the work of solving the situation will
bo moro important than that of civil govern
ments , because the dlvlno force inherent In
religion will turn men willingly to Just and
honest ways.
The pope says : "In order that the action
of the church may bo more effective , the
times require that all of the means placed In
its hands bo put Into operation , the reunited
forces conspiring for one solo purpose , to les
sen the gravity of evil. Above all things , it
is our duty to seek with patlcnco und
assiduity to Induce people to correct
their habits and to habituate themselves to
conform , in public nnd private life , to thodoa-
trine and example of Christ. It would bo
well if , In questions which are agitating the
various classes , the precepts of Justice and
charity are not violated , and that the differ
ences which by chance arise might be settled
by 11 paternal und authoritative intervention
of the holy priests. They should endeavor to
render the incommodltles of the present life
more tolerable to the poor , nnd the" church
should not servo us a fomenter of cupidity or
extravagance , but to acquire treasures more
precious in heaven. "

Prominent Politicians Charged with
llooillcrlsni in IjottliiK Contracts.
Qunnwc , May 1. [ Special Telegram to THE
Bui : . ] The most gigantic political scandal in
Canada since the celebrated Pacific railroad
scandal which in 1875 caused the downfall of
Sir John A. Mucdonnld's government , is an
nounced today In the shape of boodle charges
against the dominion department of public
works , presided over by Sir Hector Langcvin ,
and against Thomas Mucgreevy , M. P. , Sir
Hector's ' bosom friend , who is alleged fo have
received nearly a quarter of a million of dollars
lars from government contractors in the
shape of commissions nnd for"l > rocurlng in
formation respecting rival tenders , aiding
'them ' to buy out lower "bidders and obtaining
for them higher prices thau those provided
for by the contract. The publication of the
scandal is duo to a family quarrel. The
charges are made by Mucgreevy's brother
Kobert , who was a silent partner of Larkin ,
Connelly & Co. , contractors , who con
structed the Quebec harbor works and
Esquimaux dock in British Columbia.
Hobcrt Macgreovy claims ho himself paid his
brother $ .215,000 for using his position as mem
ber of parliament and his influence with Sir
Hector und the government to furnish them
with the prices of other bidders and thus ob
tain them contracts , and to have the govern
ment pay them ! ii > cents per yard for dredging
instead of 23 cents , as promised by their con
tracts.
A most profound sensation has been already
created here by the pubUeationof the scandal ,
which cannot avoid being taken cognizance of
by the federal parliament and may contribute
largely toward the overthrow of Sir John's
administration.

tnrr.
The opera house was crowded tolls utmost
capacity , and the various contestants wore
listened to with Intense interest. Euch ortitoi
was enthusiastically applauded , both at his
appearance and at the close of his clfovt. All
wore young men who had won the highest
oratorical honors In their own colleges and
afterwards distinguished themselves by win
ning the modal in a contest between nil the
prize college orator * In the stats whore they
belong.
The following gentlemen were chosen as
Judges in the contest :
Tbouirht nnd composition .Tudcro Alfred
Yaple , Cincinnati , O. ; Mr. Noble S. Prcntlss ,
Newton , Kan. ; Kov. B. II. Saovvden , Little
Rock , Ark.
The Indiana delegates raised a howl about
the competency of ex-Governor Crlttenden
of Missouri acting as a Judge , as they claimed
he had been u rebel ofliccr and as their orator
would speak on the subject of slavery Crit-
tunilen would have his prejudices so aroused
that ho would bo Incapable of rendering a just
decision. The ex-governor sent word to the
delegates that ho had never been In the con
federate service and , further , that ho was a
lieutenant-colonel in the Seventh Missouri
cavalry , Ho nUo notllied them that as an ob
jection had bocu raised to "his serving us a
Judge ho would withdraw from that position.
T. M. Marnuette was chosen in his place.
Mr. William H. Wise of Indiana was the
first speaker , iiu'd his subject was "Tho Kuco
Problem" . " Ho nnulo u great impression on
the audience. Equality is a fundamental
principle of democracy , " said he. "Freedom
and equality can bo attained only through the
operation of natural forces. Unco prejudice
must bo destroyed and thoisouth reconstructed
upon principles 01 equality , intelligence and
industrial prosperity. "
Mr. H. Tucker of Ohio followed with nn
oration on "Democracy , the Dominant Idea. "
Ho had a line stage presence and an excellent
delivery. "If it bo true , " said he , "that
Franco is the 'savior of nations , ' bow much
more truly can it bo said of our own country
that she is the toucher of nations. Not by war ,
not by blood , but by the force of her high ex
ample , by bcr uuequaled prosperity , by the
over-increasing patriotism of ber people shall
America teach the nations ot tno earth the
idea of democracy. "
Mr. B. H. Timberlako of Minnesota paid a
glowing tribute to Abraham Lincoln "The
First American. " "A quarter of n century
bus passed since Lincoln died. " wore the
closing words of the speaker , "yet neither
time- nor space Intervenes between us and
that loving face. May no historian's hand
over smooth the furrows from that noble
brow. "
Mr. Mllford II. Lyon of Iowa spoke on "In
dividualism in Society. " "The development
of society , " suid the speaker , "is directly de
pendent upon the advancement of its individ
ual members. _ It is on the recognition of the
ualuo of individualism that the new civiliza
tion can IKISO its claims to perpetuity. It Is
within the seclusion of its own individuality
that the soul retires to leant those lessons
from Itself which association cannot give.
Only by self-reliance , self-subjection and loy
alty to principles can the individual' attain
unto the full measure of his powers. "
Harry N. Wilson of Colorado discoursed
upon the work of Martin Luther , "If a
man's greatness is measured by the effect of
his life and teachings ujion the history of the
world " said he "what
, , n lofty position must
Luther occupy 1 Three centuries have rolled
on since Luther lived nnd labored among'men
three centuries of advance in education ,
religion nnd government. How much of this
advance wo owe to that fearless man wo shall
never know until that day when all hidden
things are brought to light. "
Mr. George O. Ferguson , the Nebraska
speaker , was too ill to appear.
Mr. W. B. Millard of Wisconsin spoke on
"Liberty. " "Wo conclude , " said he , "that
liberty Is not found In breaking over proper
restraint. The llhortino Is not the embodi
ment of liberty. The outlaw has not escaped
the responsibilities of law. In the person of
the Jaw-abiding citizen wo see the embodi
ment of the highest , typo of liberty. That
man is absolutely five. Ho Is the king of the
world , the noblest work of God. "

Eurituu and the Cavalier. " "The Puritan
and the cavalier colliding formed modern
England , " said the orator. "The cavalier
sprang from chivalry. The puritan was born
of freedom of thought and of action. The In-
Ilucnco which the puritan-cavalier principles
have had In'the world's progress Is of vital
significance in the estimation of our national
life. "
"Mr. A. C. Douglas of Illinois , the lust
sneaker , delivered u flowery oration on "Our
English Language. " "Our literatim ) seems
boundless like n summer lamUcui > o wa approach
preach the apparent limit , while nature
keep ? unrolling her scroll of beauty. EuglUh
libraries testify to an elegunco of expression ,
a vividness of description , a terseness In nar
ration not to bo found elsewhere. English
literature bears the Impress of every advance
of education and morals. "
The Judges awarded tlio first prlzo to Mr.
S. W. Naylor of Washington college. Topeka -
peka , Kan , , nnd the second to Mr. A. C.
Douglas of Monmnuth college , 111.
