and packing juries. and yet should disbar
none Of the alleged culprits. though with
full power to do so. What heed would
be give TO his charges except in so far rs
they affected himself. The Commission
er Of Pensions has plenary power now,
under the law. tostrike the name Of any

out from the Department, prosecute, hunt
him down with criminal prosecution.
and put him in the penitentiary for his
offenses il be has committed any. Let
him execute the laws rather than ask
for additional legislation.
Sir, the object of this bill seems TO be
to cast suspicion on all pensions claims.
Like the pamphlets and letters of the
Commissioners, it appears to be saturated
with the idea that a pensioner is always
ready and willing to commit fraud on
the government, and that a pension.
when he gets it, is gratuity. | deny
this assumption from beginning to end.
The pensioners and applicants for pen
sions are as honest as other men, and
have given quite as much evidence of
friendship for the Government as those
who asperse them. Nor do l regard the
payment of his pension as a charity; it
is the payment of debt. a pensioner
is creditor, not a pauper. When the
Government pays him his pension it does
not bestow aims: it discharged an honest
obligation. 1t is the fulfillment of a
contract between the Government and
the soldier The soldier has complied
with his part of the contract in the field
of war in hardship, WEAKNESS. and pain.
His wounds are his vouchers, and such
evidence is sufficient for me. Others
may take care of the illustrious and the
fortunate. They may even create new
offices for them and grant them high
soundings titles, but while l have the
honor to represent State upon this floor
l shall keep the contract with the
wounded, torn, and shattered of the rank
and file.

Small Trees.

Nurserymen usually describe trees
on their catal alogues as second class,
medium first class, and extra. The
difference in these classes is principal
ly, il not wholly, in the size and height
Of the trees; and as most farmers de-
sire the best, they suppose that the
largest, extra trees merit that descrip-
ton, and hence order them. The fact
is, however, that small tree will grow
faster and Gf q fruit tree) come into
bearing condition sooner than D large
one; and, as the Nem Eaglond Homc-
stcod states, in half dozen years the
tree that was small when planted will
be larger and finer than the other. The
larger the tree, the larger the roots
which it has. and the larger the roots
the less tibers there will be upon them.
A tree that has plenty of ibrous roots
will grow readily if proper care is used
in transportation; but no amount Of
skill can coax tree to live and flour
ish which is destitute of these little
fibers. The roots of large trees are al
ways more or less mutilated in the pro-
cess Of taking up while small trees sus-
tail little injury from this source.
Dealers in trees assert that experienced
men buy small, thrifty trees, while
those who are just starting are anxious
for the largest to he had. Those who
are to set trees the coming season will
do well to learn from the experience of
those who, at considerable loss to them
selves, have demonstrated that small
trees are the ones to buy.

Flagg sustained his reputation as
vermonter, and was loudly applauded
as he threw Dufur the last time. Du-
fur wrestled as might be expected of
the worlds champion, and was not
beaten, though Flagg equalled him in
falls. The score stood: Dufur 5, Flagg
3, Burbank 4, and Wheeler 3.
There was hitch in the decision of
the referee awarding the premiums. By
some mistake the referee figured up IL
bouts and gave Flagg & falls, whereas
the fact of the matter was, according to
our tally and that of good many other
spectators, there were only IL bouts
with five falls each for Flagg and Du-
fur. The referee chung to his decision
however, and awarded Flagg first
money. Even Flagg's friends claim
that the score was as we state.
