X Anent the Pension Office.
[Special Washington LiCtter.]
What a pity that Jonathan Swift the
mighty dean of St Patrick's, cannot
return to earth I Certainly the funniest
tiling and the most preposterous that
lias happened on earth since the Lil?
liputians undertook to conquer Gul?
liver is the determination of Perry S.
'Heath et id omne genus to ostracize
.Thomas Bracken Eeed in the present
.campaign. The unutterable scorn with
3Phich that intellectual Titan must re?
gard his pygmy persecutors needs the
?furious genius and merciless pen of
Swift to describe it 'Twouid be worth
ten years of peaceful life to see big
?Tom roll in to Republican headquar?
ters while Perry and his petty political
pirates are in council as to how they
priU. bobble the man from Maine. !
.Blessed stars, how they would take
.to cover, get out. vamoose, skedaddle, |
absquatula?!
The Lilliputians drew up certain
regulations for the conduct of Gulliver, !
whom they called "The Man Moun- j
tain." which regulations I commend to
Perry ct al. in their endeavor to tie
up Mr. Reed. Here they are:
"First-The Man Mountain shall not
depart from our dominions without our
license under our great seal.
"Second.-Ile shall not presumo to j
come into our metropolis without our I
express orders, at which the inhabit?
ants shall have two hours* warning to
keep within doors.
."Third.-The said Man Mountain
.shall confine his walks to our principal
highroads and not offer to walk cr lie
down in a meadow or Geld of corn.
"Fourth.-As he walks the said reads 1
he shall take the utmost care not to
trample upon the bodies of any of our
loving subjects, their horses or car- j
riages and not to tase any of our sub- j
jects into his hands without their owu
consent*'
Most Brilliant American.
Surely the ferocious Swift when he j
wrote "Gulliver's Travels" must have j
had in his mind's eye the events now j
transpiring about Republican head- j
quarters. Unquestionably Reed is The j
Man Mountain, and it would-be awful
If he should walk or lie >".owu in the
Republican meadows or fields of corn,
and in the language of rule 4 for the
protection of the Lilliputians our Re?
publican Man Mountain should take
the utmost care not to trample upon
the bodies of any of Perry's chums,
especially those of Mark Hanna. Wil?
liam McKinley and Toddy Roosevelt, j
Thomas Bracken Recd is easily the i
most brilliant man in America. He is ?
the greatest living Republican. His
most patriotic act was iu resigning his
seat ia congress, and with it the speak?
ership, because he could not indorse
the un-American policy ef the Me
Hanuaite administration. To his eter?
nal credit be it said that he possessed
Independence enough of soul to volun?
tarily lay <lov.-a thc political office sec?
ond In power ?nd importance only to
the presidency-cheerfully gave up its
emoluments-and retired to private life
because he loved his country better
than his party. No higher tr:bute could
be paid to his splendid genius than
that he should be feared and therefore
hated by the pitiful dwarfs who are
now running the Republican machine.
They haven't brains enough to compre?
hend The Man Mountain, they haven't
generosity enough to admire him, they
.haven't strength enough to tie him,
and they haven't money enough to buy
him.
Peanut Politics.
AH decent men trill agree that it is
peanut politics, to say nothing worse
of it, to drag Bryan's domestic affairs
Into the campaign and parade the fact
to thc world that Mrs. Bryan uo^ em?
ploys a Servant girl to help do the
work, whereas she formerly did it all
herself. I humbly submit that Mrs.
Bryan is clearly entitled to have a
servant girl if she wants one and is
able to pay her, and the Republican
papers arc doing themselves no credit
by trying to use that fact to the preju?
dice of h?r Illustrious husband. Xo
.purer hom^ life has illustrated Ameri?
can civilization than that of the Bry?
ans. They have not flouted their do
.mestic felicity in the faces of the peo?
ple, but have been content to live
quietly and modestly-a thing greatly
to their credit.
It had to come. It was inevitable.
Webster Davis has boon accused of
plagiarism. That appears to be a fa?
vorite method of campaigning with
Republicans. It will ?>e remembered
T.?at when Bryan made his astounding
speech at Chicago in 1S?6. which serv?
ed the double purpose of securing the
nomination and thc adoption of the
platform, it was suddenly discovered
that Bryan had stolen one portion cf
(his speech from I'atrirk Henry and
another portion-the eros* of gold fig?
ure of speech-from Congressman Me?
tel! of Massachusetts. Rut somehow
Jt did not hurt Bryan much. Neither
4k> 4 apprehend that the same charge
. ?*ni uo any great narin to'Webster
vis.
"To Quigs (verb transitive) moat

Washington Post, remembering mi
a jab which it made at Teddy in di
of 3'ore and remembering that its ji
were now taking on tho cha rafter
prophecy, publishes the following c
torial as to Colonel Teddy:
THE INEVITABLE HAS HAPPENED.
It must bc an unpleasant duty for so sta
and loyal a supporter cf the Republican cai
dates and policies cs thc Brooklyn Eagle to do\
j its editorial space to explanations of Mr. Ro
j velt's St. Paul speech, with a view to mitigar
I the boomerang effects of his reckless indis
? tion. Yet it is the expected, the predicted,
inevitable that has happened. It was eipec
by all who had any familiarity with the (
torical methods of the brilliant youn? statesin
It was predicted by The Post both before ?
after his nomination. It happened at the ?
opportunity. The governor of the Empire St
and nominee for the second office i:nder our ?
tem-the man who was selected for the sec<
! place because of alleged special qualif;eatio:.s
; fill the first place in case of need-made these
? marks before a great audience at St- Paul a I
j days ago:
I * "Study the Kansas City platform, and you c
' not help realizing that their policy is the pol
of infamy; that their triumph would mean nns<
so widespread that it is almost unthinkable an?
disgrace so histing that more than a pmcrat:

They stand for lawlessness and disorder, fur <:
[ h and dishonor, fe- lionise and disaster
j ; : . for cowardly shrinking from di
I abroad."
i WLs? is there in that tirade that dfes not si
; est the antipodes of each and all the qualificatif
which sober minded citizens ct all parties dc
requisite for the vice presidency ot thc Unit
Slates? The delegates to the Kansas City <.(
vention represented the membership <jf the Pen
eratic party. If that convention stood tor "?
grace, for iaw!e~ ness and disorder, for dishc
City and dishonor," the Democratic [ur'.y stan
j for the same list cf infamies.
There have been many vice presidential can<
dates of smaller intellectual caliber than Thc
dore Roosevelt. There have been few, if sn
who surpassed him in traits and qualities th
l^vin and hold friends, but no party has ever nam
for that ciiice a candidate who could possib
j have committed the blunder of thus a~.-ai?ing a;
j defaming 5.O00.0O0 or 6.000,000 of his fellow ri!
; zens.
Pensions For Soldiers.
Mr. liidgelcy of the Third Kans^
. district is generally recognized ns on
i of the mes; faithful and useful men
bers of the house,
j Judge A. M. Jackson of Wiufiel
hus been nominated ns his snccesso:
Judge Jackson is ;i Kentuckian b
birth, an abie lawyer, a handsome ma
! and an orator of high degre.?. ? prc
diet for him a splendid career ia coi
! gross.
j Not long sine;* his Republican oj.
j ponent tried to curry favor with th
tdd soldiers, whereupon Judge Jacksoi
submitted the following vigorous an*
felicitous remarks:
"My opponent is very solicitous abou
f the old soldier. Sir, I yield to no mai
! in my devotion to the Union soldiers
j They need no eulogy from me nor fron
j any other person. Many of the den
heroes of the great yet cruel wa:
have their last resting places market
by imposing slabs of marble, aad ye
these do not add luster to their names
Neither will any words which my op
ponent or I may utter add one cubi<
to their greatness. The highest en
comium. the most magniilcent eulogy
that can be paid the old soldier Is thai
he bared his breast iu the defense ol
the Union: that he met in mortal con
flict tlesh of his flesh and blood of bis
blood-yea, that he met upon the
field of battle men as brave and de?
termined as himself.
"As the result of that mighty
1 strife we have, than!" God, one couti
j try and one flag. We now say all
; honor to those brave and gallant sol
J diorsj^and that this government should
i deal fairly, justly and honestly with
; its saviors. My opponent, in his
! great anxiety to assure the old sol
! dior of his sympathy and assistance,
j says that if he is elected to con
? gress be will do ail In his power to
j pass a law whereby all that should be
I necessary to obtain a pension or an
? increase thereof would be to present
! an honorable discbarge, together with
an affidavit that be ls in need of money.
A Great Injustice,
j "To my mind this would be a great
injustice to the old soldiers of this
land. Why should you be compelled to
pay the ruuriitiecnt (?) sum of 125 cents
to make an affidavit that yon are in
j need of money when no ene for one
j moment will controvert that fact? My
j friends, the question of the need of
! money is not confined to the old soldier,
; but all men will insist that they are
1 in need of money. Then I submit that
it would be an injustice to require you
? to make an affidavit about a fact
; which no one disputes. Therefore I
! suggest that, if there be sense and rea
? son in V : . . 'Jen. i - J
j do away with the 'affidavit' and make
i the solo test an 'honorable discharge?'
If ? surMihi advocate such proposition
for ei?lioi a pension or the Increase
? thereof, you would justly call me a
demagogue and say thar, my proposition
was foolish. My friends, yon would
be right. Pnther proposition is a foolish
one, and any man who would go to
congress advocating such theories
would write himself down as an ass
and Dring his district into disrepute.
By so doing he might also do incal?
culable injury to the cause of th?; old
soldier, just as a tumblcbug might
spoil a cupful of good, pure and whole?
some water.
"Your lawmakers should advocate
sensible measures, which will meut
with the approval of the conscience
und ?he judgment of the people. The
man who goes to congress advocating
visionary measures eau have no influ?
ence in that body and will uot IK? able
to accomplish anything for his con?
stituents.
"My friends, the old soldiers, as I
understand, do not complain of. the
law. Generally speaking, the law is
liberal and generous. It makes ample
provision for the soldier, his widow
and orphan.
Enforce thc Law.
"The eiying want and need of today
is not for more law, but for an honest,
fair and impartial enforcement of the
present law. Our pension law is en?
forced, if at all, through the depart?
ment known as the commissioner of
pensions. Ile sits as a judge and in
terpiets the letter and the spirit of the
law. His acts may be arbitrary, and
he may wholly ignore the law in its
application to a petition for a pension,
and there is no adequate relief from
his autocratic ruling. Therefore it is
just as necessary that your commis
sioner of pensions should be an honest,
pare and upright man as it is for your
judge who enforces the civil and crim?
inal law of the land. The law of the
land makes ample provision for the im?
peachment of a judge who is dishonest
and corrupt. The commissioner of
pensions sits as a judge, granting or
refusing pensions as it suits his pleas?
ure. He interprets the law according
to his whims or his humor or by in?
fluence, dehors the record. He is a
'one mind power'-mighty, omnipotent
and most dangerous. He receives his
appointment from one man, and is re?
sponsible to him and to him alone. Ile
deals with the masses of the people.
He acts as judge upon the cases of
thousands of people, and yet those peo?
ple lia vc not lu'ng to say as to who
shall be their judge, or who shall in?
terpret the law which was made in
* i
their-behalf and in their interest. I j
insist that this is un-American and for- j
elga to thc genius of republican form j
of government. The great iniquity of
j tlic present system i-; fully exemplified
j by your present commissioner of pen
I sions. 'ihis is not the time or the
! place to discuss in detail his work. It
I is sufficient to know that thousands OL"
; petitions from Grand Army posts in
! this nation have been presented bog?
ging for his removal. Your petitions
have only been answered by repeated
! injury. You have pleaded, but the
.powers" lia ve bern deaf to the voice
of justice. You have implored, but no
uns wer has come for your relief.
By i*oj?7ilar Vote.
"My friends, this is a great injustice,
it is a groat wrong. Under the com- 1
mon law we leam that for every wrong ?
j there is a remedy. There is a remedy
for this wrong, and. in my judgment. ?
1 this remedy is simple and adequate. I
; would a:.;!;*' the commissioner of pen?
sions au elective office. 1 would give
j the old soldiers the opportunity to say
who should be commissioner of pen?
sions, and who should interpret thu
law that was made for their benefit:
As to how this should best be done I
am not wedded to any {-.articular
theory. I am willing to consult and
advise as ro how this can bes: be done.
At the present, it is my judgment that
it. would answer the.purpose if a law
was passed providing that each Grand
Army post in this nation, should at
stated times hold an election in their
posts, permitting all beneficiaries over
the age of 21 years to vote for whom
they desire appointed commissioner of
pensions, and the person who receives
the highest number of votes should be
appointed ny the president commis?
sioner of pensions. If I have the honor
to represent this district in congress,
it shall be my object and aim to do all
in my power to have a law of this
nature and character passed, a law
making it possible that soldiers, their
widows aud orphans shall receive
fair and impartial treatment, and that
they shall have a voice in saying who
shall be their judge."
All men may not agree with all the
ideas expressed by Judge Jackson, but
whether they agree with his ideas or
not. they must admire the vigor with
which he delivers them. He will make
his mark and will rank among the
strong men of the house.
A Picturesque Character.
In all German settlements in the
west a curious wedding custom pre?
vails which is said to have been trans?
planted from Hanover. When a young
! couple is to be married, the elder
j brother of the bride, or, if she has no
brother, some other male member of
I the family, takes his place, starts out
I a few days before the wedding on
j horseback and distributes the invita?
tions. Ile Is called the "brautbeter"
literally the "bride inviter." Ile is a
j picturesque figure, and in his trip about
I the country he is the recipient of many
perquisites in money or gifts, which,
by right of custom, are kept as his
I own; but. however small, the present is
i invariably expected ami given. It may
Ive a piece of money, a bill or a coin or
it may be only a ribbon or a trinket.
Upon bis return trip he decorates his
person and his horse with his gifts.
