HARVEST TIME.
by Nary T. Peal

The harvest days have eome o friends. the sun has
veiled his splendor,
The mists low in the valleys are soft as vel OF
bride.
The blue hills smile upon Us with benedictioa
tender
And golden fields of ripened grain stretch out on
every side.
o, glad of heart and rich IN hope we come unto this
And toll seems but the pastinae of a pleasant sum-
mers day,
And happy voices, laughing down from loaded
wains are keeping
The air astir with those sweet sounds we hear in
children's play.
You dwellers in the eity's din may laugh In pleas-
ant scorning
At this calm rustic life Of ours. and smile and can
it slow; !"
But leave for once the crowded streets, and On
some pleasant morning
Awake to hear the robins sing,-the silyery wa
ters flow,
And we viii go where quiet woods above the caln
lake bending
Shall teach Us lessons never cleaned from Qua
your learned books;
And natures thousand vibrant chords, IN one
sweet nocturn blending
Shall soothe you with The peace we Fl nd withia
her rural hooks.

REsERyING NoN-pARTrsANsHIP.

The growing warmth of the campaign has
had the natural effect of disturbing some COM
rades and Posts in their safe moorings in non
partisan waters, and sweeping them toward
the dangerous whirlpools and eddies of party
strife. Several instances during the past few
weeks of enthusiastic comrades making
unwarrantable use of the AR. organization
and embiems for political purposes have called
for sharp and decisive action, and it has been
taken.
The most fragrant case was that Of using the
Order as an escort at 9 political meeting at
Strong, NE. This was promptly investigated
by a committee appointed by the Department
Commander, and summary punishment recon-
mended. The committee urges that the char
ter be taken away from one Post-Cushman,

roc LATE AID TOO LAaIE.

Since his resignation Col Dudley is working
the press vigorously to impress the public in
favor of himself and inpliedly in condemnation
of his late chief, the Secretary Of the Interior.
Naturally his main effort is TO show that he
has been true to the promises and pledges
made when he took the Office, and has reformed
and modified the practices of the Pension Bureau
by substituting equity and justice for senseless
technical obstruction.
Unhappily for the 100000 applicants, whose
papers are gathering the dust Of years in the
pigesn-holes of the Bureau, he viii not be able
TO show this without downright Justification Of
the facts.
As we have shown in these columns by con-
tinual citation Of cases. the practices Of the
Pension Bureau have been technical and OBJ
structive to the point Of absurdity, and the
evil seemed to grow with every months con-
finuance of Col. Dudley in Office. The secre-
tary and Assistant Secretary were constantly
called upon TO interfere, and they did interfere
as constantly TO mitigate the uncalled-for and
really Illegal rigor of his treatment Of pension
applicants Finally the burden of this work
was so great that Board of Appeals was or
ganized, wholly independent Of the bureau, to
revise its decisions
We could cite scores of cases that conclusive
" contradict Col. Dndley's claims, and show
that instead Of being even just with ex.soldiers
and sailors, the methods of the Bureau were so
oppressive and obstructive as to absolutely
thwart and violate the spirit of the pension
laws. We viii only take space now to allude
TO one or two of these cases which happen to
lie nearest our hands, and viii reserve others

An exchange describes "Oklahoma" Payne
as ordinary -looking-ma who possesses a
strong magnetic influence over his followers.
He is about six feet high, strongly built, wears
moustaehe and full-chin beard, is of dark
complexion and has dark eyes. He speaks
with coarse fiuency, and appeals to the passions
to accomplish his ends. The papers have not
spoken much of his mistress, but she helps him
greatly. She is Manufactured and inclined TO
bea termagant. She is about 40 years old. Payne
tries to pass her off as his cousin. 1t is said
that he follows her advice in all his plans, and
that her influence over him is unbounded.

goods, and ara now buying at least one-haIf of

THE resolute method England employs to
maintain her prestige abroad and protect her
people engaged in business in foreign countries
was illustrated in 1874 at the expense of Qua
temala- A young clerk of the English Steam
ship Company one day received an order from
Guatemala official to come to the barracks. It
was very busy time in the Office and the clerk
sent back word that he would come presently.
The Comnsdndante sent squad of men after the
young fellow, and he was fogged nearly to
death. The British Consul made demand for
reparation, to which no attention was paid.
Nomore words were exchanged, until few days
later two English men-of-war sailed into the
harbor, and the President was given just one
hour to pay $4,000 damages and salute the
British flag in the Grand Square of the city.
The money was paid and the flag saluted.

The italics are our own. OF course, this
appears the esheerest nonsense to everybody out
side of the Pension Bureau.
Psychologists tell US that the car is an organ
of wonderful delicacy; that compared with its
fine and sensitive mechanism the works of

dredging machine. They warn parents against
cutting their children's ears, and admonsh all

ears or putting any hard substance there, less

spiders web be hopelessly deranged.
Here ii was fully proved that the soldier had
excellent hearing before he was wounded and
that now he is as deaf as post. It was proved,
and is admitted by the Pension Office, that one
of those terrible bullets fred from an imported
Enfield rifle had tern through an inch board
broken gun in two, and then, rough and jag
ged from these encounters, had bored through
one ear and through the mans head toward
the other, and yet the Pension Office requires
additional proof that the hearing of the re-
manning ear was affected by the wound
Could absurdity go farther2
These are some things that Col. Dudley
might explain TO the comrades during his pres
ent stumping tour.

AS FAR as practical solution of the ques-
tion as to how we are going to save our forests
from destruction is concerned, the Forestry
Congress, which has just been held at Saratoga,
n. Y, might as well not have convened. While
it has dwelt most elaborately on the fact that
American forests are being rapidly destroyed,
and that their destruction is fraught with most
disastrous effects on agriculture and the water
supply of the rivers, still the Congress failed
to point out remedy, but appealed to Gov
ernmental protection and prohibition. The
amount of lumber destroyed year by year on
the Government lands is immense Lumber
mills have in many instances been erected
without any legal formalities, and scores of
fortunes have been made by private persons
from the sale of Government lumber. The
fires made by hunters and campers are another
means by which large tracts of fine lumber
are annually destroyed, and one which will be
exceedingly difficult to stop, as it would be
almost impossible 10 find the culprits. The
first step in the right direction viii be for the
States and Territories to take hold of the mat
ter themselves, and not wait for the action of
