The Rev. Sam Jones did such ef-
fcctual batting in Baltimore that he
nearly knocked the base ball fellows
out of time. He is opposed to base

Morgantown now promises to be
more of summer resort than ever
before. We are already assured of
the presence of quite number of
visitors from various quarters.
John Kelly, the Sachem of the ,
tribe of Tammany, has gone to the
happy hunting ground of his fathers.
New York is a big village, but
very extensive search will have to
be made before another leader pos
sessing Kelly's ability, vigor and
tenacity can be found.
Uncle Sam and the Canadian au-
thorities are corrugating their fair
countenances over the fishery ques
ton, and some of the biggest fish
stories of the season are the result.
We have good deal of faith in I'm
Gle Sans ability to manage this diff
ticulty, and we have decided to wait
another week before making any sug
gestions.
Few people comprehend the task
of caring for so large number Of
people as are at the Hospital for the
Insane. With about 700 patients,
and the officers, employees and other
attaches, it makes up-a little town
in itself. Mr. Gus A. Ewig, who su-
perintends the baking department,
says ave use twenty -one barrels
of flour each week. From this we
bake $50 lOaves of bread daily, or
1900 loaves week. We bake
1900 cakes every week, $50 pies and
IS pans ofrolls. In addition TO this
eight bushels of meal is made into
bread for patients who prefer it.

The Cleveland administration de-
serves to be kindly remembered for
the honest effort it is making in be-
half Of thc'real soldiers Of this coun-
try to rout the pension thieves and
dead beat soldiers. who never. fought |
except to escape from a'fight,, in the
organized raid they are now making
on the Treasury. Every year the
demands of these cormorants grow
more insatiate, and to pay the mil
lions which have this year been
voted an already overburdened peo-
pie will have to be heavily taxed.
The greatest wrong which can be
imposed on the masses of the Amer
lean people is the imposition of an
unnecessary tax for the benefit of
the pension thieves and rings bred
and fostercd by the conditions which
were developed under previous ad-
ministrations. The, pension laws
were more than liberal before the
sweeping amendments of the present
session They, are illiberal now in
their liberality toward the men who
have manufactured grounds upon
which to base their claims. ~
As the end of the session draws
near the number of bills designed
for the especial benefit Of the pen
sion attorneys and lobbyists will in :
evitably increase. The members
who will deserve most at their con-
stituents' hands will lie those who
most heartily aid the President in
his efforts to see that only deserving
cases are fav"rably passed upon.
The sober second thought of any
constituency can only be in favor Of
such Congressional course and the
hope Of the nation must rest in the
few Representatives who scorn the
demagogue's arts and in an Execu-
tive whose honesty 10 proof against
