HERE is another grist of pension bills vetoed by President Cleveland for good and sufficient reasons: Bills granting pen sions to Nancy F. Jennings and Theodore M Hiatt, widows of soldiers on the ground that the death of their husbands was not due to military services. The bill grant ing pension to Sally A. Randall is vetoed on the ground that her first husband, on whose account the pension is claimed, died long after his discharge, and not in conse
 quence of any injury received in the war of 1872, ill which he served. The bill granting pension to Sarah E. McCaleb is disapproved on the ground that the suicide of her husband had no connection with his army service. The pension bill of o. G. Striker is vetoed on the ground of in sufficient proof as to questionable dis ability The bill granting a pension to Ellen Shea on account of the death of her son is disapproved on the ground that his death was in no way connected with his service, and that pensioning Fornaren Ball is vetoed for a similar reason. The pen sioning of Royal J. Hiar is vetoed on the ground that there is no record of the dis ability being contracted in the service. In returning without his approval the bill pensioning William H. Herter, the Presi- dent says: 1T believe this claim for pen sion to be fraud from beginning to end, and the effrontery with which it has been. pushed shows the necessity of careful examination of these cases"

Nutrition in Beef Bones.

In experimenting to find how much nutri- tive material is extracted from bones in making soup, as 1t is ordinarily prepared in the household, Dr. Konig found that beef bones, from which the flesh had been re- moved, yielded from to 71 per cent. of their weight of material, of which about 4166 per cent. was fat and the rest nitrogenous matter. That is to say, from pound of bone about an ounce of nutritive material was obtained, of which three-fourths was fat and the rest gelatinoids and the like. But it must bo remembered that the bones which the butcher trims out of meat, or which are left on our tables or in OUT kitchens usually have a good deal of adhering flesh. This is apt to amount to severa. times as much as the material extracted from the bone itself.- Professor w. 0. Atwater in The Century

The national democratic committee hay ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 5th day of June next at noon as tho time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo- cratic convention.
 Each state is entitled to a representation therein equal to double the number of it's senators and representatives in the con- gress of the United States. The Demo crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United.

WHICH party will control the senate after the 4th of next March is question often asked these days. On the 3d of March the terms of twenty-six senators will expire, this number being equally divided between the parties. One of the republicans (Riddleberger of Virginia) has had democratic successor elected, and the rest are pretty sure to be succeeded by republicans, with the possible exception of Oregon. The democrats may secure 8 senator from that state, but it is doubtful. Among the thirteen democratic senators retiring, there is only one who is not cer- tain of being succeeded by a democrat That is McPherson of New Jersey. Should the democrats retain New Jersey and cap ture Oregon, it would make the senate stand 39 democrats and 37 republicans, just reversing what it is now. But the chances are that Oregon will return a republican and New Jersey democrat, which will make the senate a tie, giving the control, through the vice president, to whichever party that carries the presiden- tial election

THE latest "news" from MT Blaine is in teresting in the extreme, and if it is reliable the whole republican plan of cam paign will have to be changed. Mir Blaine will positively not be presidential candi- date; neither will he be on the high seas on the date of the convention. On the contrary he will be enjoying himself in merrie Scotland about that time, having arranged for coaching trip of some 600 or TOO miles through that country, and about the time of the republican conven- ton he will be in the extreme north of Scotland, and far from any telegraph office.
