A WEEK OF RAIN During last week
from Sunday afternoon until Saturday night,
clouds obscured the sky rain and fog pre-
vailed, the snow and ice almost entirely dis
appeared, our streams were swollen and win
ters frosty grip became entirely relaxed
Sunday last was bright and clear until the
afternoon when clouds again appeared and
in the evening rain began to fall and contin-
ued until an hour or two and then turned
into snow and sleet.
On Tuesday and Wednesday until noon
fog and rain prevailed, when summer wealth
or came in, while the weather report called
for winter next day.
Monocacy river was very full last week,
but no serious damages done by the waters
have been reported to us. The thaw was

wise, Monocacy would likely have made a
record for itself in this country of river tor

Every four years, that is, just before
the Presidential election, there is always
great excitement in Congress about pen
sions. The dear soldiers-or, rather the
soldiers votes-have to be taken care of
and consequently the National Treasury
is bled. For weeks past pension legisla-
ton has been agitating Congress, and
bills involving the expenditure of $246,-
1000 have been discussed. 1t is time
this pension business was stopped. There
is no good reason why the tax payers
should he bled to give pension to every
one who blew a horn, or run suffers
wagon, or drove a mule team, or other
wise sacrificed himself for his country
and SO many dollars per manufacturing
the late unpleasantness. Pensioning
soldiers who suffered the loss of an arm,
or leg, or some other physical injury,
is all right; but when the thing becomes
so general as to include even those who,
like Scion Shingles grandfather: "Driv
a baggige wagin," it is time to call halt.
It would seem that all who are justly en-
titled to pensions ought to have been
already provided for by existing laws,
and the continued effort at legislation is
simply bid for votes. This "old soldier"
business is getting to be somewhat m o.
notonous to the tax payers Of the coun-

tempted to be made by others than the
Indian occupants upon lands in the pos
session of Indians who have made i'm
provement of any value whatever thereon
In order that the homes and improve
ments Of such Indians may be protected,
they are directed to ascertain whether
any lands are occupied by Indian inhabi-
tants and the locally of their possession
and improvements as near as may be, and
to allow no entries or filings upon any
such lands. When the fact ofIndian occu-
pancy is denied or doubtful. the proper
investigation will be ordered prior to the
allowance of adverse claims. Where lands
are unsurveyed no appropriation will be
allowed within the region of Indian set
Elements until the surveys have been
made and the land occupied by Indians
ascertained and defined. These instruc-

from the war department of attempts of
white men to dispossess non-reservation
Indians along the Columbia river, and in
other localities of the lands which they
haye for years occupied and cultivated,
and who are now making efforts to sup
port themselves by their own labor.
