Democracy and the Pension List. The Republican party wrecked itself upon the Scylla of the force bill. The Democratic party is drifting danger- ously near the Charybdis of ingrati- tude,'says the Washington Post. The people frowned upon a measure so vi- cious and oppressive as Mr. Lodge’s bill to dragoon the ballot box. The same people will rebuke and punish‘an attack upon the men who saved the Union. - ~ v It may be that there are frauds under the pension laws. If so, the old soldiers, the real soldiers, the men who bore the heat and: stress ‘ and burden of the tragedy, will be the first to de- nounce and to aid in uprooting them. 'The derelict, the camp follower, the .skulker is as hateful in the brave man’s eyes to-day as he was some thirty years :ago, when danger was his constant fare and death his never-absent comrade. No man who did his duty honestly, who offered his life upon the altar, who , raised against the country’s enemy the 'sbulwark of a steadfast heart—no such man as that would countenance an im- posture upon the pension laws. If cir- cumstances warrant an inquiry. if it be certain or even reasonably'probable that evils exist, then we make bold to say, on behalf of the old soldiers, whether pensioners or not, that they would have that ll quiry as searching, as strict, as comprehensive as possible. They do not want to see the nations’s ' gratitude, abused. They would not have the noble tatters of the heroes filched for thieves to masquerade and prey in. y , "'- But certain Democratic organs, or,. would-be exponents of the administrae‘: " tion, are gradually adopting a tone in this respect which bodes ill for the par- ty’s hold upon popular respect and con“; fidence. By slow degrees, but steadily and surely, they are falling into the "Way of mentioning the pensioners as a Class with contemptuous scorn. They are creating or trying to create a habit of disparagement toward the men who made the armies of Grant, Sherman, Sheriden, Hancock and Thomas. .In their philosophy a pensxoner is a paras,- ite, a drone, ya leech. Because they suspect an imposition here and there, they take an attitude of aversion and distrust withj'reference to the whole- ibody of the pensioners, and strive to ~ educate the country’s mind to class And we say to the Democrats, as we said to the Republicans, when Mr. Lodge and Mr. Hoar essayed to over- throw the ballot box: Look well to your footsteps as you move! Public sentiment is not yet ripe—in our opinion it never will be—for a re- pudiation of the patriots who helped to save the union from destruction. Men are not willing to hear the veterans of the war disposed of with a sneer. The spirit that made heroes then survives in millions of American hearts to-day. It is part of our national life—the fine essence that guarantees our libertiesyby making us worthy of the sires who won them for us- Let the Democratic par- ty beware of tendencies. and leaders who would wake that spirit now. Dead as the Confederacy is in this fair year of ’93, it were a hopeful corpse beside the party that would defile the laurels of the reestablished Union. ‘ For G. A. R.Veterans. Decoration day was celebrated every- where throughout this broad land Wherever faithful ihearts beat true to the memories of the glorious past. Thousands of Union Veterans, meme bers of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic, marched to‘the graves of their dead vomrades with floral ofl'rri'ngS. In thousands of publichalls the people as- sembled to listen to eloquent words commemorative of the imperishable achievements wrought by Union Veter- ans, living and dead. There ewere strains of martial music in the air, star» ' spangled banners were unfurled, and behind many: a :war-worn battle‘flag hrL uze’d and aging survivors of, the greatest conflict of modern times marched to beat of drum and trumpet ' note. ' It may cheer the hearts of some of these members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who visited the Ceme- teries and placed tokens of loving mem- ory onthe graves of their former com— rades to read the following opinion of - -. ears of age. - them all as Charlatans and burdens. :y the G. A. R. entertained by the Dur- . ham, North Carolina, Globe, a repre- sentative Southern newspaper: “A Post of the..G. A. 11., and that means, when liberally and lucidly trans- - lated, Grand Army of Rascals, has been kicked out in New York. The truth of the business is that the Grand Army of the Republic is, and for years has been. a dirty and debauched political pro- curer; an existence without prmcrple, and a nuisance not amenable to the law. It thrives on corruption and owes its existence to the cool calculation of the wicked ° conspirators who use senti- ment, dishonesty, roguery and crime to perpetuate it. The G. A_. R is an imposition, a fraud and a political pros- titute. It sleeps with crime and wreked~ ness. Its membership numbers crea- tures who never smelled real powder, coffee coolers, camp followers, chicken thieves and God knows what. It 1s.a political institution conceived in . gin“. and used to gratify the financial lust of a. decayed, dying and debauched po- litical party known as Republican.” The GAZETTE does not publish this shameless and scandalous attack upon the brave men who form the Grand Army of the Republic for political pur- poses, but to the end that the loyal and patriotic people of Norwalk may know the true spirit of the section which fought thirty years ago to destroy the Union.

In the Superior Court this morning Judge Hall dissolved the injunction of the Norwalk Horse Railroad company against the Tramway company, and or- dered the Horse Railroad company to change its rails on Wall street, to the northward of their present location. The two companies must come to some agreement as to the payment of the costs for this removal and the Tramway company can not run its cars through Wall street until an agreement is reached. In case the two companies cannot agree, the judge will decide what amount the j Tramway company must pay. the Horse Railroad company for the removal of its tracks.

He said that hisson had done all of the business and that he was at present out of town. . He thanked the reporter for calling his attention to the matter, and said that he would make an investiga- tion and that everything Would pro- bably be satisfactorily adjusted if there should be foundto have been the omission made as 'stated, which he hardly believed would prove to be true. He said that he was under heavy bonds to _fill the contract and said that he was dmng the work fully up to the specifi- cations. He added, “And “you’ll have a fine piece of macadam road, when it is finished.” Those who claim to know say that that the contract has not been signed. _ A Pointer For Warden Sloan.
