Some four weeks ago he left home

1t seems after all that Cleveland with
his one year mayor of Buffalo and IS
months governor of New York has a
record that will be particularly inter
esting to our soldier friends.
While Mayor of Buffalo he vetoed an
appropriation of $500 passed by the
Common Council, for the proper OBJ
servance of Decoration Day. As
Governor of New York he vetoed a
bill passed at the last session of the
Legislature which made it INSIDE
meanor for any person to wear a G..
A. r. badge who was not an honorablv
discharged soldier. The petition for
the bill had been signed by all the G..
A. X. Posts of the State. A measure
passed the same Legislature allowing
G. A. r. Posts to use State muskets if
they gave bonds for their return and
safe keeping, and Cleveland vetoed the
bill. The G.. A. R., as an organization.
had asked for the privilege. Governor
Cleveland's fonrth exploit in OPPOSE
ton to the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie was his vetoe of the bill passed by
the Legislature allowing a gratuity of
$1,000 to John Young. Young, who
had lost an arm in the service. was
made hopeless cripple by an accident
which happened to him while working
in the Capitol building at Albany. All
the Grand Army of the Republic Posts
of Albany petitioned the Legislature
for the relief they extended, which
Cleveland vetoed.
Now if any Union soldier wants to
step up to the polls and vote for this
man along with his copperhead asso-
ciate, let him, it is his inalienable right
and privilege, but we hope he will par
don good people who may think that he
fails therein to show manhood that
should be an attribute of all who hon
estly shouldered their mnskets in de-
fence of the Union.

On the 25th of June the final vote
was taken on what is known as the
Mexican pension bill which had been
amended so as to grant pensions "to
every person who for three months
served on the Union side of the war
of the rebellion who has an honorable
discharge and is or shall become dis
abled from any cause not the result of
his own gross carelessness, disreputable
conduct or vicious habits. and is de-
pendent on his own labor for support. /"
etc; "to increase widows pensions to
Sl2 per month: to continue an invalid
pensioners pension to his widow OF
minor children without requiring proof
that his death was directly due to his
service; to remove the restrictions as
to proof in claims of dependent parents
and making the Government record of
enlistment and muster prima facte evil
dence of soundness at date of enlist
ment."
This vote resulted, yeas 81, all repub.
licans except 3; nays %, all democrats
except 2.
In the House where the democrats
had large majority it could not be
brought to vote, and consequently lies
over.

and being little rusty in the classics |
decline to state which, propoundcd the
query, "Whats in a name?" which
question has always been considered a
rather abstruse problem, quite con-
nundrum in fact. II seems to me that
in this particular case the solution is
easy enough. There is great deal in
it. 1t contains the largest part of the
English alphabet, for one thing II has
the entire French system of pronuncia-
ton, for another, combined with fla
vor of romance derived from its
traditional Indian derivation. If this
is not sufficient it may be added that
there is also danger in ii for stranger
who, unaided, tries to pronounce it.
Indeed most of the natives of this
pleasant little isle, although estimable
in all the social virtues, have an anxious
and careworn expression, which should
undoubtedly be attributed to their early
and continued struggles with this ortho-
graphic monstrosity. The name re-
sembles man in that il is fearfully and
wonderfully made. SO much for the
name.
OF the place itself many pleasant
things should be said. An island in
Casco Bay, its very isolation gives one
a sense of freedom and rest from care,
together with a sense of separation
from the rest of the world, which is
both pleasing and solemn. An imagin-
alive person, depressed by some great
misfortune, might very likely find his
surroundings here congenial to his feel
ings. The monotonous beating of the
surf could hardly fail to exert sooth-
ing influence upon his mind; while the
ceaseless sobbing of the waves would
yield grateful the mute sympathy to
his own sighs-provided he felt lachry-

MISSION SERNICES

A series Of Mission Services were lately held in
Grace Memorial Church, Darlington, by the Rev
James Is. Ayirett, rector OF Silver Spring Parish,
Montgomery county, Md. Mr.. Avirett was, dur
ing the lifetime of our beloved Bishop Pinkney
now gone to his rest, most intimately associated
with him in his "labors more abundant" in travel
ling throughout the Diocese and holding in those
churches that were open to him those services
which he d nominated Mission, whereby he
sought to rouse the people over whom God had
made him an overseer, to a sense of sin and per-
religious zeal and piety. And surely the
mantle of Elijah hath fallen upon EIishah
double portion of the spirit of our be-
loved Bishop doth rest upon him whom he great
ly honored, and he is carrying on the work that
was given to him to do. Raising aloit the banner
of the cross, he is planting II firmly and strongly
upon the outposts OF Ziop, and endeavoring to
cause all who hear his voice to enlist under that
banner; TO fight the good fight of faith And
need say that firmness and neekness from
above, and wisdom, zeal and love are the great
distinguishing characteristics of his preaching.
Sunely all who have ever heard him have learned
that this Is so. more earnest preacher of right
eousness | have never known, nor one that pos
sessed to II greater degree the power to move tho
hearts of the people. His one theme is Jesus
Christ and Him crucitied.
He has left his mark upon the greater portion
OF the congregation of Grace Memorial Church.
He has made an impression upon the hearts of
nearly all with whom he came in contact, that
will outlast his teeting breath, an impression the
true character of which and the full force of
which will not be known until eternity shall re-
veal 1t. May 1t then add many stars to his crown
of rejoicing.
The congregations that attended the Mission
were remarkable when the state of the weather
and the condition OF the roads at the time are
taken into consideration. They were large. This
was an evident token that there are many here
who love the gates of Zion.
Mr.. Avirctt has promised to return to us again
come as the evangelist OF the Diocese warm
welcome awaits him. ONE WHO KNOWS
