Concerning Pensions.

Mr.. Editor The two great political
parties in this country are so nearly
equal in numbers that the soldier vote,
given entirely to either party, would
easily secure to it victory. The SOL
diers understand the situation. They
are organized and will not support can
didates for office in either party who
are entirely unfriendly to the soldiers
just rights. When the democratic party
came into power by the aid of soldiers
votes, secured by promises contained in
its party platform, there was no little
interest in the ranks of the veterans to
learn how the new administration would
deal with pensions. The pension office
understood, too, that the Grand Army,
the Union Veteran Army and other
kindred organizations of old soldiers
were watching their actions TO learn if
the promises, so often made during the
campaign of 1884, were to be kept and
performed. General Black, the new
commissioner of pensions, was APP
preached, soon after his appointment,
by representatives of the soldiers to
learn, if they could, what his purposes
were in this regard. He requested
that they wait a year before judging his
actions. AT the end of a year it was an
nounced that more pensions had been
granted needy soldiers and their rela-
tives than in any prior year since the
close of the war. This report was gladly
received by the soldiers and led them
to believe that the democratic party
after all was better friend than the
republican party. How soon this feel
ing changed. President Cleveland, with
one swoop of his pen, in vetoing half
dozen private pension bills, has alarmed
the soldier element of the whole coun-
try and driven more soldiers out of the
democratic party than whole year of
liberal action in granting pensions
brought to it. More than this, 1t has
destroyed the confidence of the soldiers
in General Black himself. They say
his liberal action was all sham and in
tended only for the purpose of obtain
ing soldiers votes. He is even de-
nounced by soldier friend on the floor
of the United States senate as an i'm
poster" and it is stated that " he to-
day stands advising and cooperating
with the President of the United States
in vetoing little measures of relief at
IS month to private pensioners who
could not secure sufficient evidence to
establish their claims before the pen
sion office" while he receives PEN
sion of 800 month and a salary of
$4,000 year.

The Wild Sewer.

Up and down the land I go,
Through the valley, over hill;
Many pleasant ground I sow,
Never one | reap or till;
Fan and fail never WELD,
Leave no hayrck in the field.
Farmer goes with leathern scrip,
Fills the narrowed earth with seed;
In the self-same score slip
Germs of many lusty weed;
Though scatter in his track,
possess nor bin nor sack.
lie sows wheat, and SOW tare,
Rain and sunshine second toll;
Tame and wild these acres share,
Wrestling for the right of soil.
I stand by and clap my hands,
Cheering on my urchin bands.
Mine the cookie in the rye,
Thorned thistle, large and fine,
And the daisy's white-fringed eye,
And the dodder's endless Irvine;
Mine those fingers five that bind
Every blade and stalk they find.
Mine the lilies, hot and bright,
Setting summer meads on fire;
Mine the silkweed's spindes white,
Spinning autumn's soft attire.
Golden-rod and aster then
l bring up by bank and glen.
Whose fleeth to the woods,
Whose buildeth on the plains,
!, too, seek those solitudes,
Leading on my hardy trains:
Thorn and brier, still mans lot,
Crowd around the frontier cot.
Many serve me, unaware
Shaggy herds that ceaseless roam,
And the rovers of the air
Passing to their winter home;
More than these upon me wait,
Wind and water bear my freight.
Thus, a sower Wild go,
Trafilcking with every cline,
Still the fruitful germs l sow
That shall vex your harvest-time:
Otherwise, we toil-stooped men,
Eden's ease were come again.

OUR correspondent, GA. j., Mont
pelier," is mistaken in thinking that all
pensions rated at IS or less are in
creased to Sl2 month by the bill that
recently passed the senate. The Sec
ton of the bill that gives a pension of
Sl2 to those entitled to IS month
under the old law refers to claims of
dependent parents.
