Grand total.

With these figures in his hand the Cleveland
partisan goes about saying: 10, here! See the
proof that the present Executive Is the veterans
friend. He has signed in three years nearly
three times as many pension bills as did Presi-
dent Grant in eight years, and within 700 a.
many IA Republican Presidents did in twenty
four years"
Neither General Black any other Demo
crat will say that Grover Cleveland loves tne
soldier of the Union more than the Republic n
Presidents did But no is willing that the
figures he has ingenously arranged should say
30 nor help TO relieve them of the false showing.
Iincolas administration was taken up with
preserving the Union, with carrying on the war
OF the rebellion which filled the country with
future applicants for pensions. Pension legisla-
ton was barely reached in his time. He signed
every pension laid before him. So, under the
Republican Presidents who followed him. IL
required time To get pension legislation and
machinery into FORM ana no account is taken
by General Blacks figures of the general pension
laws, under which the bulk Of the pension pay
ments ia made. The emancipation legisla-
ton brought forward the individual claims and
acco nts for the increase Of private pensions.
It is therefore by the bills vetoed instead OF
by those signed that the regard of Presidents
for the veterans il 90 be measured. A table
showing the pension bills vetoed since 1861 by
admins rations, would tell the story OF Presi-
dent Clevelands love for the veterans, even

POST OFFICE HINTS.

When you call at the Office for
your mail, and the postmaster
hands it out, ask ii that is all.
If you ask foi mail, and are
told there. Is none, say there ought
TO be; then go home and send the
rest of the family around to ask
at different times through the
day.
Don't bring your mail to the
office until the mail closes, then
curse the postmaster for not open
log the mailbag and putting your
letter iu.
When you want a stamp on
your letter, tell the postmaster to
put it on; if he don't like it, lick
him. In case you put 1T on your
self, soak it In your mouth long
enough to remove the mucilage, 1t
will then stick until it is dry.
Be sure and ask the postmaster
to credit you with stamps; II
there is any accommodation about
him he will do it.
If you have a box, stand and
drum on it until the postmaster
hands out your mail; 1t ma6es
HIM feel good, especially if he is
waiting on somebody else.
When you call for stamps, get
close before the delivery and put
them on at leisure. Everybody
else waiting for their mail will be
so glad when the last stamp is on.
Start Tor your mail when you
hear the train whistle; you will
then have a good tune waiting for
it and can say ''how slow those

NEW YORK LETTER.
New York Star Syndicate Letter I o the
MAGNOLIA GAzErrE.l
NEW YoRK, Oct. IS, 1888.

New York, Oct. IS, 1883.
AT last the two big factions
which make up the City Demo-
cracy have agreed to disagree.
The die was cast by Tammany
Hall, which put in the field a full
fledged Wigwam ticket. 1t rs
headed by Sheriff Grant who, by
the way, was the unsuccessful
champion of Tammany in the
mayorality fight four years ago.
The County Democracy followed
suit promptly, placing Mayor
Hewitt in denomination.
Although such action had been
anticipated for some time, siren
uous efforts were made at the
last moment to fuse the warning
factions. Several confidential adj
visers from Washington, personal
and political friends of the Presi-
dent, including Senator German,
Congressman Scott and Secretary
Whitney. were cToseted all day
and all night with the chiefs OF
the belligerent forces 1t looked
for while as though the ledoubts
able Secretary of the Navy would
himself be selected as the head Of
the Union ticket. But 1t all came
to naught, and Tammany hasten
ed to throw down the gauntlet
and flourish the tomahawk as she
Las SO often done in the past.
The impression among Demo-
Gratis here that this local duel will
add votes to the National ticket
Is very general; and this, too, is
based upon history. The only
time a Democrat has succeeded in
getting enough votes in New York
CITY to land him in the White
House was under precisely SINH
lar conditions. On the other
hand when all factions were joined
eight years ago, Hancock was
mercllessly knitted. This view is
also accepted by the National
| Committeeman, and the only fear
they have is that bad effect may
be produced on outside States
where these conditions are not 50

means more than that of 1884. 1t
means victory of right over might,
money and monopoly. Failure
means political, financial and NOR
al disaster. A large stake means
deep interest, and it becomes us
to manifest the interest we feel.
We are so accustomed TO being
stirred that we are slow to volun-
teer to stir among ourselves.
What we want now is enthusiasm
around our peaceful camp-fres, to
cheer the boys on the outposts,

THE CAMPAIGN.

1t is now less than a month till
the Presidential election, and still
all is painfully quiet and serene
in this section. Indeed, we are
afraid there is too much Indrffer-
ence on the part of Democrats.
We like enthusiasm. Enthusiasm
keeps up life and activity aud we
appreciate success according as
we contribute to its attainment.
We almost regret that there is no
Republican candidate for Congress
in this district to furnish us tar
get, and something to chaw on
when we get mad. The distant
rumblings Of political pow-wows
make us nervous. But what good
would it do to abuse Jim Blame,
high sarlff, monopoly and trusts,
when our readers would kick
them all into the sea by a large
MINORITY if they had the chance.
But il is a terrible dry business to
sit down and read and grind out
polltlcal news during such an i'm
poriaat campaign.
Can't we get up revival2 Let
US do something to enthuse. We
all feel deep interest in the re-
suit of the November election.

From osyka Two States.
We have vaguely wondered
oftensimes how persons innocent
OF malicious slander, can be 50
affected by its circulation. Ii is
unpleasant to face for awhile, tbs
true, but report which bears
upon its very face the impress of
such palpable falsehood, is like n

Workshop" the ugly mechanisms
must be brought forth, and dis
torted truth being the amalgam
from which the spurious coins of
slander are formed, like cheap
iewelry, they find ready market
in small communities, and, like
cheap iewelry, they soon lose
their worthless plating, and are
cast back upon the dishonest
vendor.
To refute charge OF which
one lsincapable is to argue the
possibility of its committal; chaff
Is SO light, and it soon bows aside.
Useless 1t is to try to control its
rise, or corfine its limits, and 1t is
gratifying to notice how rapidly
1t drifts away, and the very wind
that causes its obscuring whirI
around the corn, is the same wind
that separates the useless trash
from the solid grain OF merit.
Nature In its wonderful con-
trasts teaches many a wise lesson
to humanity. The most beautiful
rose, luxuriant in its foliage and
fragrant with its delicious aroma, I,
can often be found with thvrns
almost pierc ng into the delicate
| petals; the giant oak, affording a
refuge in its generous branches
for the tired plumed creation, and
shelter beneath. for weary man
or beast, is now frequently seen
in the deadly embrace of the poi
son vine, and is the rose less fra
grant, OF the oak less lordly, be-
cause Of the destroying character
of their surroundings? So, any
one must expect malice 10 infict

poison of more or less scandal.

and it sometimes makes them
realize how one tall tree in the In
dustries of town, by being up
rooted, can crush the living of
such a wonderful number of sap
lings.. Such fierce storms, too,
are apt to show one how the scat
tered leaves of so-called friends
are caught up in the under-whlrl
and swept to safe and respecta-
BILE distance. Alas for human
friendshipsl Four-fifths of such
are like the blazing Goals of q

feed upon the fuel OF gifts anc

lightful warmth of sympathy, but
when trouble sweeps away the

veiy much divided on this point,
and there is no telling what the
outcome will be.
-Four years ago Cleveland's ma
lority in tins city was 43,00j.
Gov. Hill did a good deal better
two years later. This year the
Democratic managers place the
majority for the National ticket at
at least 55, 900, and claim, with
reason, gain of six to seven
thousand in Brooklyn and Kings
County. There is not the slight
est cause for alarm about New
York State.
The news from Connecticut and
New Jersey Is also very favora-
BILE. Particular attention is be-
ing gwen by the party managers
to the little Nutmeg State, which
is always more or less eccentric at
election times. A recent private
poll gives the Democrats 5000
plurality-about as much as any
one ever gets in that State. Demo.
cratic gains in the recent town
elections amply justify this claim.
