The president is vetoIng private pen
sion bills by the dozen,-almost as fast
as congress can pass them. He con.
tends that If a claimant has such a
poor case that he cannot get a pension
through the regular channel. the pen
sion bureau, that congress should not
pass n special bill to fit the case. All
worthy subjects are entitled to and
should have pensions; but there is 10
doubt that congress has been too care
less in disposing of the peoples money
to unworthy subjects. Sentimentality
Is one thing and justice Is another. II
appears that Mr.. Cleveland puts the
proper value on both.

the quantity exceeds the estimate OF a
month ago, and the quality is very good;
the berry is plump and healthy, and a
large part Of the crop is now saved
without loss. Oats was somewhat i'm
proved by the recent rains so that in
quantity the crop will exceed what was
expected When the last report was made
up. As to corn, there was never a
larger acreage planted in Kansas and
the condition at this time was never
better; never in the history of the state
was the prospect for a large crop of
good corn better than at this time; the
weather is just right-warm and show
cry. Hay is reported good and plenti-
full. y great deal of blue grass is made
into hay this year; the yield is fair and
quality good. Apples are dropping
some, stilla fair crop nay be expected.
EARLY apples are now in market.
ChiIch bugs have done good deal of
injury in some places, though the az
gregate loss from that source is not
great. The general condition of agri-
cultural interests are good and farmers
are in excellent spirits.
