Granting Pensions.

In an article on the reckless granting Of
pensions, the Carroll Nelcs first alludes to the
practice by the government quotes an article
from Frederick paper on the granting OF
pensions in that county, and then remarks that
sin our own county, also, we frequently hear
of pensions as unjustly granted. 1t might
reasonably be expected that the pension list
and the pension expense would decrease as
the time since the war increases"
Our neighbor has gotten things mixed a
little. War pensions are not given in this
county. The county has house near this
city for the poor and helpless, and in addi-
ton grants small pensions to some thirty or
forty persons. These are called Outdoor
Pensioners. They are not entirely helpless,
and by little aid from the county are enabled
to maintain themselves. By granting them
small pensions the county is saved the ex-
pense of feeding and clothing them entirely.
Granting of pensions in Carroll is not reckless
extravaganza, but rather matter ofeconomy.

A Wonderful Discovery.
From the Richmond Wig.

fTUM Htc IttCftWOHU " my.
DR.. Chichester A. Bell, cousin of Prof
A. Graham Bell has recently made a dscov-
cry and obtained patent therefor, which is
believed to be not inferior in Importance to
the art of telephony itself. He has discov-
cred that jet of water or flame Of gas
burning in a room mimics the echoes and
perfectly reproduces every word spoken and
every sound uttered in the room. Then by
causing colored water to flow over glass
plate properly prepared, and obtaining pho
tograph of the nndulations of the water as it
flows during conversation, a record of every
word uttered is made, far more accurate than
any verbatim report. The. plate is then re-
volved on u pivot, and the depressions and
elevations conveyed to the ear by micro
phone, thus reproducing every word recorded
in the same tone in which it was uttered. A
speech reported by this method can be pre-
served and repeated years afterwards as often
as desired

Death Of John Kelly.

John Kelly, the Tammany Chieftain, died
Mt his residence in New York on Tuesday
afternoon. after long illness, aged about
sixty.four years. Thrown upon his own re-
sources at the age of ten years, he learned
trade and afterward became successful bus
mess man. He was most known as poll
tician, and it was by Office he made his for
tune. He was twice member OF Congress
and twice Sheriff of New York, and it was
in the Office of Sheriff that he made his thous-
ands. He was man of great will power, and
A great leader. His will, too, was gospel,
and he ruled as an autocrat.
We have no tears TO shed for MIR. Kelly.
We had no words of praise for him when liv-
ing, and we are not of the hypocritical class
that forget the past and speak out in gushing
terms when death ends the earthly career OF
a public man. John Kelly, like all men, had
some good traits of character, and was man
of strong intellect. He was also selfish and
dictatorial, and was always bent on ruling or
running. 1t was he that opposed the nomina-
ton of Tilden in 1876, and it was not by his
aid that Tilden was elected, but in spite of
him. 1t was he who traded off Hancock for
Garfield, in order to maintain supremacy In
New York city politics 1t was he who tried
to defeat Cleveland to accomplish the same
end. He failed in the latter case, and his
political downfall was complete. With the
powerful Tammany Society at his command,
in close and pivotal state like New York,
he was dangerous man. He had the power
to control national politics in 1880, and used
it effectually. From that time his power be-
gan to wane, and in 1884 he was neither able
to dictate the presidential nomination nor to
control the election, though he used his best
endeavors to do both. With the success of
Cleveland came the complete overthrow of
Mr.. Kelly, and the almost dissolution of Tam
many, which had become odious everywhere
through Mr.. Kelly's misuse oft.

Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule bill will be
defeated 1t is not the principle of home
rule for the Emerald Isle that will be defeated
SO much as it is Mr.. Gladstone's plan. His
bill contemplates too much. Such a radical
change as home rule for Ireland must come
by degrees. Mr.. Gladstone himself, after his
bill was debated, saw that it went too far, and
was imperfect as to details. The latter he
proposes to change, but with its defeat home
rule must slumber for a time. His effort will
bear its fruit, however, and Ireland will be
given home rule in time, of the character,
perhaps, that Canada enjoys.

Some days ago it was announced that Hon.
James G. Blaine was a Knight of Labor. 1t
was done by his political admirers, to brighten
other presidential aspirants from the field.
Blaine has a large backing in his own party,
and if his opponents could be made believe
that he would be also supported by such a
powerful organization as the Knights of La
Dor, it was supposed that all competition for
leadership would end. In these days of
vigiant press, that investigates everything,
falsehood don't prevail long, and Mr.. Pow
derby being asked about Mr.. Blaine being a
member of his order, not only answered no,
but in a manner that showed he spurned such
an association. When asked if the report
were true, Mr.. Powderly said: mo; in
heavens name there have been enough bad
things said about us without that. Let itrest

ofS5OO The sentence will be regarded every
where as exceedingly lenient. Most is an
outlaw and an inciter to murder and arson.
By his speech he did his part to inaugurate
both in New York, and life imprisonment,
or Punishment from the country is what he
deserved. Braunschweig and Schenck, two
other Socialists, got lighter sentences. The
first goes to the penitentiary nine months and
