THE NEW G.. A. r. COM
WANDER.

There have been twelve command
ers-in-c chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic. The order was estab-
lished in 1866, and the first national
encampment held at indianapolis.
Gen. S. A. Hurlburt OF Illinois was
the first commander. The next en-
campment was held at Philadelphia
and Gen. Logan was elected comman-
er, serving three years. He was
followed by Burnside, Devens, Hart
tranft. Robinson, Farnshaw, Wag-
ner, Merrill, Vandervoort, Beatc,
and Kountz. The national encamp-
ment has been held in all the great
cities of the North and West except
New York and st. Louis. In New
England the national encampment
has been held in Boston, New Haven
Providence, Springfield. and Port
land.
The contest for the honor of com
mander-in- chief for the ensuing yea
was very animated, and jn some re
spects too jealous to be good natDr
ed. The struggle was narrowed a
the ballot to Gen. John A. Reynold
of New York, John w. Burst O
Illinois, and Hon. Samuel S. Bul

dette of Washington. The latter
was eletced receiving 239 votes to
1872 for Burst and 1876 for Reynolds.
The new commander is a native of
Leicestershire, England, but came to
this country when II years of age.
He worked his way through Oberlin
college. He settled in Iowa, became
a lawyer, and at the breaking out of
the war entered the cavalry service.
He did fine work for two years, and
then his health broke down, but he
refused to accept a discharge. After
the war he was twice elected men,
Der of Congress from Missouri. He
was afterward commissioner of the
general land Office for two years,
and has since pIacticed his profess
sion in Washington where he stands
high as a lawyer. He is man of
fine presence, weighing 200, and is

HAVING.

Every farmer is supposed to know
all about haying; but as we never
knew one that was not ready to ask
questions sometime during the season,
we give few hints from the Mirror
and Farmer, hoping they will touch
some cases: "Make hay while the
sun shines is an old and good rule,
but to do this it is not necessary to
do the moving in the hot sun; es-
pecially in thin grass and when there
are frequent dull, cloudy days. Thin
grass moved when it is wet will not
injure till it willis, and then it can be
raked and put up. Do not wait for
all the grass to get its growth before
you commence cutting. When the
best grass is ready, cut it, if the
weather is good, and let the thin
grass wait the loss will be less. If
you have any haying to do in dog
days watch the weather at night, and
if it looks fair, never stop for the fog
the next morning. Rake the hay ear
ly in the afternoon. If it is punched
up with the heat of the sun in it, it
will be dryer than if it layed till night.
When handled in dry air it drys very
fast; and when the air is damp the
hay partakes of the moisture. Open
the lunches in the morning as soon
as the dew is off, so that a larger sur
face will be exposed to the sun. In
this way it may be sufficiently dried
without scorching so as to break
while hanhling, as it does when han
died over in the hot part of the day.
If hay has to stand out through a
spell Of dull cloudy weather, take
some time when the sun shines and
build the punches over by putting the
top lock ON the ground and then the
next, and let it be as light as posi-.
BILE, and it will dry off faster and still
be ready for a rain. Be sure thai
the first hay you put in is dry enough,
or it may heat the whole nov. /
better get wet in the field than mold
in the barn. Glover hay will keep ir
the barn when it is dry enough 81
the bark on the stalks cannot be slip
ped off with the thumb nail. Abou
sailing hay there is great difference
of opinion. If the hay is dry enough
to keep without, salt will not hurt it
but packing damp hay in salt is
questionable policy.

AN AGGRESSIVE MOVEMENT
AGAINST THE LIQUOR
POWER.

Attempts to secure more strict leg
islation regarding the sale of liquor
are progressing. Movements have
arisen, and are constantly gaining
strength, designed to embody in the
constitution of each state a clause
forbidding the manufacture and sale
Of liquor as beverage. Kansas has
succeeded in thus amending its Or
ganic law. Iowa has failed in this
endeavor only by technical errors.
Maine, deciding to submit the ques-
ton to the voters of the state, has
welcomed an affirmative vote repre-
senting majority of many thousand.
Massachusetts is the scene of tenn
perance campaign designed to effect
this change in its constitution. But
of late has arisen a method of tenn
perance work, more efficient, perhaps
than other means, for breaking down
| the political influence of the rum par
ty. This method is based on the as
sumption that the laws now existing
regarding the sale of liquor should b.

THE VETERANS AND THE
PENSION GRAB.

The self respect, and regard for
the public welfare, which as a rule
characterize old soldiers who fought
for the Union were never more plain
ly emphatically exhibited than at the
recent National O.. A. r. encamp-
ment at Portland, in their refusal to
sanction the proposed pension grab,
which was advocated so strongly
during the last campaign and in the
last congress. The bill, as our read
ers remember, provides that the
government shall give to every SOL
der who served in the civil war a
pension of eight dollars month. 1t
is but just to say that this movement
did not originate with the soldiers,
but was framed and pushed by the
INSCRIPTIONS pension agents at
Washington, who hoped in this way
to enrich themselves.
The Grand Army .Boys-to their
honor be said-refused to give their
endorsement to this scheme. 1t was
a great temptation, of course. Here
were thousands of men, who had
fought bravely and well for their
country, laying time, strength, and
perhaps in some cases, health on the
altar of patriotism, who think them
selves worthy to be recognized by
the government, as many who have
received pensions. 1t would perhaps
have been hardly surprising if these
veteran soldiers, many of them,
growing old, poor and with families
dependent upon their earnings had
added their endorsement to a meas
ure which, upon first sight, would
seem to be just and proper? But
there were brave and generous hearts
and wise heads among these defend
ers of the Nations life that recoiled
from the thought of adding to the
burdens of taxation sum so large as
the proposed pension bill required
The same spirit of patriotism and re.
gard for the public welfare which in
spired them to take up arms for the
nations defence, was still so strong
within them that they refused to ap
prove measure, the adoption OF
which could not but seriously EN-
barrass the government, if it did no
bankrupt the public treasury. Hav
been repudiated by those whose inter
ests are most closely concerned. thu
fate of the bill is now undoubtedly
sealed. And when it is finely defeat
ed, the public will not forget that. i

The internal revenue receipts for
the fiscal year just closed will fall
some So, 100000 short of the treasu-
ry estimates, which were $113, OOO,-
600; but had not the bonded whis-
key period been extended, the re-
ceipts would have exceeded the esti-
mates. Much of this bonded whiskey
will be liable to tax after July 6, and
the whiskey men are now making an
effort to secure still further extension
of the bonded period. The manage
ment of the internal revenue depart
ment has good reason to congratu-
late itself upon its record for the last
eight years. The collections have
amounted to 81 ,005, 531, 1902, of which
not a dollar is unaccounted for, and
the cost of collection has been but
1858 per cent.

for a good share of the criticisms
made by politicians and others in re-
gard to the slowness with which
changes have been made, but during
the past ten days 597 cases of remov-
ais, vacancies, and appointments
have been examined by him, and
every paper carefully considered.
Out of this number 344 appointments
have been made, and 222 cases were
held over for the purpose of further
inquiry into the merits of applicants,
or because where no vacancies exis-
ted no reason were filed for remov-
al. These cases are again taken up
when the DEFICIENCIES are supplied.
Mr.. Hay, attend to these duties,
which is only branch of the work
of the office, and as may be seen
from above great deal is being
done. In the methods he has adopt
ed he is simply the agent of that
policy which is laid down and defined
by President Cleveland as the policy
of the administration.
Numerous stories have been pub
lished in regard to the physical con-
dition of Mr.. Hay. He certainly has
the appearance Of being in very poor
health. He sits in an armed easy
chair, with his head resting languldly
back against the cushion. He is
very pale, and his voice sounds like
that of sick man, or of one who is
just recovering from a severe illness.
/ am told however, that he is not by
any means so bad off as he has the
appearance of being. He is really
no worse than he has been for num-
Der Of years past.
l will say one thing said Chief
Clerk Fowler, and that is that Mr.
Hay does more work than any of his
predecessors of whom know any
thing. He is a very conscientious
man and attends to his work very
diligently and carefully. He is no
a strong man physically to be sure
but he carefully husbands his strength
and accomplishes great deal. HI
works at his correspondence ever,
night after he has gone home, ant
thus works off very much more thai
would be supposed.

GENERAL LOGAN.

The Grand Army Boys have return
ed from their monster gathering at
Portland. They report an excellent
time, and it is not at all strange that
they bring home with them many
pleasant recollections. 1t would
seem from conversation with them
that Gen. Logan was the grand ia
vorite of the day. And we'll he may
be. The general carried himself
magnifcently during the last cam
paign, and his gallant fight for the
U. S. senatorship, fought without
lowering his integrity or his repub-
licanism one iota, has brought him
prominently before the public, and
the universal verdict is that he is an
honest, able and patriotic man. He
was gallant soldier and the boys in
blue love him. He touched a most
tender chord in the hearts of the as
sembled veterans when he spoke of
the noble old leader of Appomatox.
His remarks were brief and so good
withal that we give our readers that
portion of them referring to Gen.
Grant. When introduced the entire
audience greeted him with enthusiast
tic and long continued cheers. The
applause would die away for mo-
ment only to be renewed, and finally
eliminated IN three hearty cheers.
He said =
Mr.. Commander, Comrades, La

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, JMne 3Oth.

Washington, June 3Oth.
The close of the fiscal year of the
government is always an important
period in its history. This year. 1t
is especially go for it will mark many
changes in the government. The
most important offices, the collector
ship of the port of New York, the
office which caused schism in the
republican party four years ago, has
been filed by Edward Y. Hedden of
New York. The appointment caused
considerable surprise here because it
was not expected to be made before
to-day, and 1t was supposed another
would be the fortunate man. 1t had
been conceded that Mr.. Thompson
had the inside track, and when at
1890 o'clock, just one-half hour af-
ter the expiration of the term of the
collector appointed by Garfield, the
name of Mr.. Hedden was announced
there was general CONSERVATION and
strong dissatisfaction among the
politicians. If Mr.. Hdeden's cleo
tion was surprise, the appointment
of Mr.. Beattle to be surveyor of the
port and of Mr. Burt to be naval
officer was equally unexpected. Mel
Their place was vacant but was made
so by the president who believes that
the officers of the custom house
should be in accord with the admin
istration in order to effect the COM
plete change of methods which he
and his secretary of the treasury de-
sire to bring about.
Mr.. Hedden was born ia 1928 in
New York city. He was a partner
in the shipping firm of Wetmore,
Cryder & Co., and conducted for
thirty years their large custom house
business. He is vice-president of the
| North River bank and director in
several insurance companies. He is
an old fashioned democrat, never
having voted the republican ticket.
| His father studied law with Alexan-
der Hamilton and represented New
York city at the opening of the Erit
canal. Mr. Beattie was an associate
lawyer in the corporation counsel.

William III. Robertson's term of
collector of the port of New York
expired on Saturday, and Edward L.
Hedden, New York merchant and
a democrat, was promptly appointed
his successor. No just fault can be
found with such action, although Mr..
Robertson has made an excellent
officer. His commission had expired
and it was expedient that a man rep
resenting the administration should
fill this high office which is repre-
sentative position and ought to be
in entire harmony with the policy of
the dominant party.

Special crop reports from Dakota,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois,
Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee to the american Rural
Home, gathered by correspondents in
every county shows that the very
best wheat-producing areas do not
promise more than bread and seed
In winter wheat. The first twenty
one days of June were exceedingly
trying, and areas that we thought
good for half crop are now turning
out largely cheat. All estimates of
spring wheat yield at present are idle
conjectures. The most conservative
estimate points to ten per cent de-
crease compared with 1884. Corn is
doing finely. In no state, however,
are prospects above the average.
West of the Missouri the whole sea-
son has been wet east of the Mis-
souri, cold and dry. The oat crop is
much larger than in 1884 because
large amounts of wheat lands were
put into oats. On the whole the
season is an average one.

GEN. LOGAN ON THE CIVIL
SERVICE.

First, let me say of civil service
reform, that it is the child of the re-
publican party, but unfortunately
has been put out to nurse with
stranger, and, if not dead now,
CLOCKS sick unto death" When the
law was passed the intention was to
put into the positions to which the
law applied such persons as were
found to be best qualified to perform
the duties required, and also to re-
tain in position as were well qualified
and found to have faithfully perform
ed their duties. The law is now
construed, however, to the effect that
a person who voted the republican
ticket at the last election committed
crime against the peace and digni-
ty' of the democratic party, new
offense heretofore unknown to law,
or politics, to wit: offensive parti-
sanship." A man may have re-
rebelled, Or. being in the north, may
have sympathized with rebellion
against the government. He may
have sought to negotiate with for
eign powers for its overthrow. He
may have striven TO hamstring it at
the most critical moment of it's des-
perate struggle for an existence. He
may have attempted to destroy its
benefcent influence. He may have
tried 10 make our institutions a by
word and mockery among the ma
tons. He may have terrorized vot-
ers. He may have suppressed or
destroyed the ballot, or fraudulently
perverted its true meaning. He may
have assisted in enacting laws under
whose free operation freedom became
delusion and personal liberty a
snare. But these do not seem to
prove him to be an Offensive parti.
