Lines inscribed to Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B.
Curie, on the death Of OLA and MABEL, which
occurred August 18th, 1886:
"Ohi not in cruelty not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day.
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And stole the flowers away"
Fond parents, look away from earth
To Heavenly gardens fair
And see expanding into bloom,
Your buds Of promise rare
Transplanted by aIFather's hand
And fostered BY His care,
Each rare exotic will unfold
In fadeless beauty there
Then let your crushed aud bleeding hearts
To Christ alone be given,
And follow close the garden-path
That leads from earth to Heaven.
And when at last your spirits soar
To realms of joy above,
With raptures wild, again you'll greet
The flowers you so much love-

THE PRESIDENT REBUKED.

All the vetoed pension bills which or
ignated in the Senate, with one exccp-
ton, will be reported from the committee
on pensions, with recommendations that
they do pass, the Presidents veto not
outstanding The one exception will
be covered by new bill, the vetoed one
being defective in consequence of
clerical error The case Of Harriet
We ch is the ono in respect to which the
President said Though this widow ad-
mits that prior to her marriage with the
deceased soldier she had married another
man whom she could only say she be-
llevcd to be dead +" The Senate COM
mittee says in its report: NO question
is raised in the evidence as to the legality
of the marriage which seems to have
resulted cohabltati0u and the birth of
seven children The claimant was mar
ried to the soldier June I, 1868. There
Is nothing in the evidence to Justify the
>lur which the President casts upon the
chastity of this widow aud the legitimacy

nature cries out aloud for the allowance
Of pension in such cast, and If this
woman, wiCh her seven small children, IS
to be deprived oft, your committee are
at least glad that the responsibility rests
elsewhere
Alfred Denny is he man Who claimed
to have been injured by contract with the
horn Ct his saddle and in respect to
whose case the President incidentally re-
marked that ''those saddles were very
dangerous coenivances. The pension

rides aud furious charges il the war in

at least temporarily an official from con-
sidering impartialIy pension claim. 1t
would be well If the horus OF public in-
dignation could be SO applied that our
soldiers could get simple justice in these
times of peace.
The House committee on inyald PEN
sions considered the presidential veto
message at the meeting a few days since
Representative CoHger called up tie bill
for the relief of John Lu.e, whose claim
is based on injuries received from being
thrown forward on the pommel of his
saddle, but after discussion it was decided
that the bill did not embody case strong
enough to pass over the veto, aud i was

"The S10.000,000 bonds that have

"Would that be legal?" was asked.
"Unquestionably So. 1t is the theory
Of the bond holders that the bonds
must be paid in gold only, but they
call for coin, and should be paid as
much in silver as gold. There is con-
slant discrimination made against sill
yer, but it is almost impossible to in
jure it with the people. 1t stands the
test, and is bound to do so. All the con-

An exchange says, Tennyson can
take a worthless sheet of paper, and by
writing a poem on it make it worth
$65,eOO. That's genius. Vanderbilt
could write a few words On sheet and
make it worth $780, 900. That's cap
ital. The United States can take an
ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp
upon it an ''eagle Bird and make it
worth $50. That's money. The me-
chanic can take material worth S. and
make it into watch worth 800. That's
skill. The merchat can take an article
worth twenty-five cents and sell it for
81. That's business. y lady can pur-
chase a bonnet for so, but she prefers
to pay 500. That's fOOlishness. The
ditch-digger works ten hours day and
shovels out three or four tons of earth
for 81. That's labor.

Changes in the land Office at this
place are expected soon. Information
from the Department at Washington is
that everything is in readiness for the
removal, but there is some hitch in max
ing selections of those who are to sue
coed the present incumbents. The con-
test was narrowed down to three names,
viz: Palmer, Searle and Dickson, all
good men. OF the three the Herald
would be best satisfied with the appoint
ment of Col. Palmer for register, and
DR.. Searle for receiver. These two
gentlemen are identified with this pOr-
ton of the State and are not only compe-
tent but worthy. They are thoroughly
competent and Democrats of lifelong
devotion. While Judge Dickson, the
applicant for one of the places is gen
tleman and a Democrat, the Depart
ment should take notice of the fact that
he is from a portion of the State that
has secured several of the best appoint
ments, including the District Attorney,
the L. S. Marshal, Revenue Collector
and other less important places while
the western portion of the State, espee-
tally this congressional district, has Sc
cured nothing. We are entitled to
these appointments and more, but will
be satisfied with these. We do not
think anything less would satisfy any
true Democrat In this section of the
State, and to go away to find a man to
fill either position would meet with
much opposition, however worthy the
man might be.-SdLinG Herald
Correct. To satisfy the democrats in
this part of the state the two first
named gentlemen should be appointed,
and if they are, the REFLECTOR's word
for it, they will fill the offices with
credit to the administration and them
selves. They are worthy and cOmpe-
tent gentlemen, and lifelong democrats.
Their appointment would certainly add
strength to the democratic party in
this part of the state.
