FOUR terms in Congress is too long
for Mr.. Townsend. He is too much
absent from his constituents, and begins
to look upon them as his servants, when
really they are his master. Eight years

prived of the society of "Uncle Amos"

Townsend, and he would, no doubt, miss

The loose legislation of late recently
by Congress in regard to arrears of pen
siOns has led to enormous results. The
Commissioner of Pensions comedies
that very large number of claims have
been allowed on fraudulent affidayits
and millions are made each year by
swindlers, few of whom are ever de.
tected. In 1881, $50, 7O6O31 were paid
for pensions and deficiencies. The ac
count ran up to $6O,OOO,OOO for the fiscal
year just ended, and for 1882 $103,0OO,-
600 has been appropriated. Since the
Arrears of Pension act was passed over
10000 claims have been allowed, and a
much larger number are still waiting
to be adjudicated. To weed out the
frauds it is proposed to have enacted a
law requiring the Secretary of the In
terror to furnish Congress at the begin
ming of each session with a list of per-
sons on the pension rolls, with their
pOstOffice addresses, the amount annu-
ally paid to each, and also a statement
of all those dropped from and added to
the rolls. This is calculated to be effect
i've in preventing the allowance of
fraudulent claims, which depend large
ly upon secrecy for success. The meas
ure is of the first Importance, and it
should be passed at the present session
of Congress.

The following gems from the Carroll

The acrid bitterness of a few of Nc
Kinley's enemies in Carroll county, has
increased his popularity. So mOteit be

A few bankrupt prophecies, against
the success of Major Mckinley, are now

are on the ragged edge"
That "acrid bile" that flowed from
the livers of certain gentlemen of this
county towards Major Mckinley, has
been a boomerang that gushed full in
