THE PENSION RACKET.

We called attention the other day to
the fact that the pension department
was doing its share of the work for the
reelection of President Cleveland. 1t
appears Grover himself is lending a
hand to the manipulation of the veter-
ans. A special from Washington says
that among the private bills vetoed by
President Cleveland in the last congress
was one for the benefit of James HI. OAR
ling. This was one of the vetoes on ac-
count of which Cleveland has been 80
loudly praised for his vigilance and cour-
age and his fling at the legislative branch
of the government justified by his parti-
sans. The reasons for this veto are CIV
en- in the Democratic campaign book in
the chapters on pensions, which was
prepared by government clerks at the
governments expense in building
owned by the government. Let it be
assumed that the presidents veto of the
Darling bill was honest and well consid-
cred. He and his factotum, the "physi-
cal wreck" evidently thought ii should
stand when less than two months ago
they included it i'm the defense furnished
at the expense of the taxpayers of the
United States to Cal. Brice's committee
for party uses. What will be said, there
fore, when it is ascertained that the OAR
ling bill, which was re-introduced at this
session and which was passed by both
houses, received the approval of Grover
Cleveland? That is fact, and he APP
proved it before the justification or apol-
ogy for the veto of that identical bill was
furnished to the Democratic national
committee. Had he received any new
light on the case2 Not ray.
Congressman Perkins, ofKansas, says:
/ introduced the bill last congress to
grant a pension to James II. Darling,
which was vetoed when this congress as
sembled. I determined to introduce
the same bill again, and did SO. Not a
scintilla of new evidence did l offer, for
| did not consider it necessary. The
bill was identical in terms with the one
vetoed last congress, and it rested on
the same evidence. The committee re-
ported it favorably. It passed both
houses, and Cleveland approved it.
1t is apparent either that Mr.. Cleve-
land has become less vigilant or more
anxious not to offend the veterans until
after election. In this case at least that
famous veto hand has lost it's cunning.
But what becomes of the argument In
the current text book, attempting to jus
tify the veto of Mr.. Darling's pensions?

CONGRESSMAN Martin A. Foran, the
labor champion from Cleveland who
would not vote with the Democrats fol-
the Mills bill, will not be candidate
for reelection. He has always figured
as workingman, having been cooper
and was elected by the communistic ele
ment of Cieveland.-Pioneer Press.
Foran is "workingman" with hil
mouth-in no other way. He follows
the legal profession, and has been work
ing the "labor" racket for many years
He is probably a protectionlst because
he looks for his support from the iror
and steel workers of Cleveland.

AT FORT WAYNE, Ind, experiments
have been made for some time past
with view to using natural gas as fuel
for locomotives, and for heating cars.
A large tank, similar to those used by
the tank line company, will carry a
sufficient amount of gas to furnish fuel
for 100 miles run, and thus far moth
ing has occurred to prevent the scheme
from working. Here is another use
we can put our natural gas to, when
we get it at Great Bend. and when we
furnish fuel for the great Santa Fe
and the Mo. Pacific, Great Bend will be
putting on airs indeed. Many are the
advantages we can grasp if we succeed
in finding natural gas, and the desire
of everyone is to see the work of pros
pecting go OH.

Why he Reformed.

There was drunkard in an Arkan-
sas town who became sober man
through kind Providence granting
him what Burns longed for

To oursel's as ithers see u.s."
One day several acquaintance, on
asking him to drink, were surprised to
hear him say, "You must excuse me,
gentlemen, fer L can't drink anything y
To their question, ''What is the mat
ter with you,' he said:-
I'll tell you. The other day 1 met a
party of friends. When 1 left them, |
was about half drunk [ would
have stopped at this, but my friends
had to hurry away to catch train. To
a man OF my temperament, to be half
drunk is miserable condition; for MS
desire for more is SO strong that he for
gets his self-respect in his efforts to
get more to drink. Failing at the
saloons, remembered that there was a
half-pint of whisky at home which had
been purchased for medical purposes.
Just before reaching the gate, heard
voices in the garden, and looking over
the fence, [ saw my little son and
daughter playing.
Now you be ma" said the boy,
land I'll be pa. Now you sit here and
I'll come home drunk. Wait, now,
till l find my bottle.'
He took the bottle, ran away and
filled it with water. Pretty soon he
returned, and, entering the playhouse,
nodded idiotically at the little girl
and sat down without saying anything.
Then the little girl looked up from her
work and said:-
James, why Will you do this way?'
'Whizzer way?' he replied.

Who's drunk?'
You are, an you promised when
the baby died that you wouldn't drink
any more. The children are almost
ragged an we havn't anything to eat
