TIE business upon which Cleveland
was engaged that he could not come to
Cincinnati or even go to &c tysburg for
his luncheon on the 4th of July, seems
to have been vetoing pension bills
passed by Congress. If the cOppery
chunk from the Canada frontier had his
way there wouid be no pensions at all.
As the case stands the logic of his la
bors upon pension vet0eS is to prepare
the way to equalize the Confederate and
National soldiery by system of pen
sions rewarding those who fought
against as well as those who were in
arms to save the Nation.
That. with compensation for property
destroyed by the war, is the great recon-
cilation to which the Democracy, COM
ing into power through the fraud of the
Solid South, are directing their atten
ton. The supreme Court which is be-
ing shaped by the Cleveland Admins
tration to hold that the notification of
the Constitution is as easy as lying, and
will ultimately. if we go on with the
Lamar and Fuller business, provide for
the abrogatiOn of all the war amend
ments. This may seem to be a striking
and vet the vitality has al
ready departed from the legislation of
the war that was believed to be funda- |

NEW WARRIOR MOWER

The Now WnrriOr mowers are noted for ex- cellent work and light draft, the machine with 1t surpasses all others for security and conveR- fence in driving; the finger-b bar folds back and rests on the axletree. The New Warriornever fails to do good work on most difficult ground. Sections are but ? l-2 inches wide, narrower than than those of most other machines This gives great advantage in draft; the sections being narrower, do not need so long throw to the crank, consequently it is shortened and the work done nearer the applied power, and dragging friction on the ground. The company pledges itself to all purchasers of the New War Flor mowers to replnce all knife heads or backs broken during the first five years use. This machine has taken prizes at Danbury and Nor walk and is the favorite with all who use 1t. Renairs constantly on hand. Circulars, terms, etc, on application.
