countered some young ful[grown fell
lows pitching ball Their hats were off,
and they entered into the exercise with
much fervor One of them hailed me
and pitched the tough sphere in my dl-
rection. A strong broad-shouldered man
he was, six feet tall and gracefully and
compactly built: it was United States
Senator-John E. Kenna. of West vir-
ginia. He has clean-shaven face. blue
eyes, a shock of chestnut hair. racie
tongue, pleasant and friendly express
and bonhomie And he played ball with
a relish.
! In the morning / heard him make an
earnest and vehement speech in the SEN
ate in defence of the President and his
policy of reducing the surplus,-a speech
that stirred the Democrats to enthusi-
asm and moved even the Republicans to
respectful admiration.
He is pointed out to-day as the
youngest member of the Senate though
he has been in Congress eleven years,
and in 1877 attracted attention as the
youngest member of the House.
! His personal history has been very ex-
ceptional and eventual, and almost he
roic in the obstacles which he has en-
countered and overcome.

Justice to the pensioners or 70 the gov
eminent, and the numerous private
pension bills that are passed ~predicated
upon the imperfection Of general laws,
while they increase in many cases ex-
isting in equality and injustice lend ad-
ditional force 10 the recommendation
for a revision Of the general laws on this
subject. The laxity of ideas prevailing
among a large number Of our people re-
garding pensions is becoming every day
more marked. The principles upon
which they should be- granted are in
danger of being altogether ignored, and
already pensions are often claimed be-
cause the applicants are as much en-
titled as other successful applicants,
rather than upon any disability reason
ably attributed TO military service. IL,
h establishment of various precedents
be continued; II the granting of pensions
be not divorced from partisan and other
unworthy and irrevelant considerations,
and If the honorable name of veteran
unfairly becomes by these means but
another term for one who constantly
clamors for the aid of the government.
there is danger that injury will be done
to the fame and patriotism Of many
whom our citizens all delight u honor,
and that a prejudice will be aroused un-
just TO meritorious applicants for pen
sions.
Pleuro-PneumoniA.
The president refers with commenda-
ton to the intelligent efforts of the agri-
cultural department to augment the
profits of American industry. The rapid
extension OF pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle: the outbreaks in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee, and in
| some counties in New York, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland, are mentioned,
and the president refers TO the beneficial
results Of state cooperation with the fed
eral authorities in the e~xtirpation Of the
disease. and advises the continuance and
wide diffusion of the principle.
Favorable reference is made TO the diff
fusion process in making sugar from
sorghum and from the Louisiana cane.
The experimental station system OF the
department is commended, as is the pre-
vention Of food adulteration by the
scientific Investigations Of the bureaus.
The president counsels early attention
to the relations between the government
and the land grant railroads, and ex-
presses the opinion that an extension OF
time for the payment Of their indebted
ness would be Of advantage to the gov
eminent, and the subject should be
treated a. q business proposition.
District Of Columbia.
In regard to the affairs of the District
Of Columbia the president states that af-
fan are in a satisfactory condition, and
he calls attention to the request Of the
commissioners for legislation which will
enable them 20 properly arrange the laws
SO that they can be made distinctly
operative.
In Conclusion.
The message concludes as follows:
As public servants we shall do our
duty well If we constantly guard the
rectitude of our intentions, maintain un-
sullied our love Of our country. and with
unselfsh purpose strive for the public
good.
