Presidential Tickets.

There is a fair prospect that the country
will be given an overdose of politics this
year. All the presidential nominations
have rot been made yet, and will not be for
a month. Tho convention of the national
green0ack party will be held in Cincinnati
on Sept u, At present there are eight
presidential tickets for the voters to choae
from, and the greenback ticket will make
nine.
There is no occasion yet awhile for Civ
ing the names of the candidates for Presi-
dent and vice president, that have thus
far been nominated. Ii will be time enough
to give the list when it is completed. In 1T
were given now the names Of some OF the
candidates would be forgotten before the
gracnhackers nominated their ticket.
Indeed, some of the candidates have been
forgotten already by the great majority of
tho people, How many people OF this state,
for instance, can name the candidates for
President and vice president OF the union
labor party, or of the united labor partyf
OF course the candidates of these parties
will get few votes in some Of the states,
but it is quite safe to say that in most OF
the states there will be no electoral tickets
except those of the democratic and repub-
licau parties. 1t is barely possible that the
prohibition party will have an electoral
ticket in all the states, but the tickets OF the
other seven parties Will not be seen at
great many of the polling places.
The only one of the minor parties that
will exert noticeable influence upon the
contest between the democratic ana repub-
lican parties, is the prohibition party. The
prohibitionists Will poll pretty big vote in
several of the states, and particularly IN
New York and New Jersey, two OF the
doubtful states The democrats, however,
have nothing to fear from them, as they
will draw their votes chiefly from the re-
publicaus. With respect to the other minor
par lies, it is probably safe to estimate that
they viii get about as many votes from the
republican, as from the democratic party.

Not Hostile to the Veterans.

The republican press raises a great bre
and cry against Mr. Clevelard'5 pension
vetoes, and charges the President with be-
ing hostile to the ex-soldiers. "He improves
every opportunity to snub the boys in
blue" they say. They have so perverted
his pension record that many are in doubt
what the truth about it IS.
Congressman Mckinney of Now Hamp-
shire put the matter in a proper
light in recent speech, but as con-
vlnclBg as were his words, they did not con-
tam az much. or az direct. information as
the appendix which was printed with it in
the Congressional Record. This appendix,
which is authoritative, gives the history of
every private pension bill vetoed by the
President.
Nearly all of the pension bills coming be-
fore pension committees are favorably con-
sidered, and it happens sometimes that bills
which ought not to become law are passed
by congress. TO single out these and veto
them is the Presidents duty. If he did not
do so, he would deserve to be censured.
Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed nearly 200 pri-
vate pension bills, and of the number 10S
had been rejected pr previously by the pension
bureau, sixty-eight Of the cases being
thrown out By republican pension commits
sioners, and eight being rejected more than
once.
Of tho seventy-four other vetoed bills,
seven were disapprove by the President
because had they become laws the pension
ers would have b,en entitled to smaller
amounts than they were getting already :;
nine were vetoed because applications COW
ering the same cases were pending in the
pension bureau; one because tho intended
beneficiary was dead; seven because the
parties named in them were already on tho
pension rolls; and in one instance the Presi-
dent was asked to sign a bill which was an
exact copy of another he had signed pre-
viously while in another, bill was vetoed
in order to protect a widow whose arrear-
ages right would have been lost otherwise.
The other vetoed bills were of character
equally as unjust or Objectionable
AS for the dependent pension bill, the
Presidents veto of that is iudorsed by the
thinking and self-respecting veterans. To
have allowed it to become n lazy would
have put premium on fraud, aud would
have opened up the way to raids by i'm
posters on the funds intended for descrvin.
ex-soldiers
OF private pension bills, Mr. Cleveland
signed 1884. or only $50 less than wore
signed by Presidents Grant, Hayes and
Arthur combined. He signed the bill to
increase widows pensions from 50 to SIP
bill that benefited 1926 widows He
sigred bill adding annually 81, 0S0, 036 to
the total amount received by 1909 pom
Sioners. He signed tho Mexican pension
bill. He also signed the Widows arrearages
bill, which granted arrears of pensions to
10000 widows.
Hostile to the ex-solderss ALWAYS ready
to snub ''boy in blue" Hardly Mr..
Cleveland is about the best friend the
veterans have ever had in the white house.

Echoes from Erin.

Across the purple mountain" hear bugle
call,
And down the rocks, like water, the echoes leap
and fall
One note alone can startle the voices of the
peaks,
And waken songs of Erin, wheneer the bugle
speaks.
They CALL and CALL and call,
Until the voices all
Ring down the dusky hollows, and in the dis
lance fall
Meth;nks like Purple mountain, the past will
sometimes rise,
And mculu.J > o.Il awaken its echoing replies.
Within the tower of Shandon again the bells
will sway,
And follow, with their ringing, the Lee upon its
way.
And chime, and chime, and chime,
Where ivy tendrils climb.
Till bells and river mingle to sound the silvery
rhyme.
Again the daised grasses beside the castle walls
Will stir with softeSt signing, to hear the winds
footballs;
And through the moss-grown abbey, along Kill
larneys shore.
The melodies of Erin will echo evermore
And roll, and roll and roll,
Till spirit bells shall toll
The music of the uplands unto the listening
soul. Annie J. FeliopS.

Saw Els Own Grevestone.

From the Vest Chester (DeI) GrdueStone.
A few days ago marble dealer, whom we
will not locate far from West Chester, received
an order to erect monument to the memory
of one of our deceased citizens, and ordered
the care ta&er at the cemetery to prepare a
base. IL so happe ed that gentleman of the
same name as the deceased owns a lot in the
same burying ground, and there the base was
laid, aud the marble man erected a stone set
ting forth the virtues of q living man. The
owner of the lot in which it was erected passed
that way on Sunday morning, and was much
surprised to learn that he had been deceased
for some months and a stone erected to his
memory in his lot. He summoned the marble
man and had it removed at once, stating that
when he needed a stone one would be erected
Toe mistake caused by the care-taker

Alarmed About California.

Senator Hearst, of California, who is
very we'll posted about the politics of that
state, says that any man who is even sus-
pected of utilization with those who favor
the immigration of the Chinese cannot
carry California, no matter to what politi.
cal party he may belong. Is not Gen. Har-
rison suspected of favoring Chinese immi-
grafton! He certainly is. Senator Vest, in
the senate the other day. read his record on
the Chinese question, and very unfortu-
nate record it is for a presidential
candidate. Several of the republican sem
ators attempted to break the force of SEN
ators Vests arraignment of Gen. Harri-
son, but they We're not successful What
could they say in defense of their candi-
datel His speeches and votes on the Chi
nese question, 10 which Senator Vest di-
rected attention, cannot be denied or ex-
planned away. If what Senator Hearst
says about the sentiment in California is
correct, and there is no reason to doubt
that it is, what chance has Gen. Harrison
of carrying California;
The republican campaign managers are
reported to be in doubt about Gen. Harri-
sons ability to carry that state. They pre-
tend to be confident of his ability to do so.
but it is we'll known that they are not,
They have been discussing the advisability
of inviting Blaine to go there and make a
number of speeches. His well known popu-
larity with the Californians, it is thought
would keep the state in the republican col
umn. They are somewhat afraid. however,
of sending Blaine to the Pacific coast be-
cause he would necessarily have to make
speeches along the route, and they don't
want him to talk high tariff in the western
states, where the tariff reform sentiment is
strong. They may conclude, however, to
send him, and to take the chances of his
doing any harm in the western states
Gen. Harrison's Chinese record cannot be
excused satisfactorily nor explained away.
If Blaine should go to the Pacific coast he
could not make the people forget that Gen.
Harrison voted against shutting out the
! Chinese, or overlook the fact that he did.
The indications, therefore, at present are
that California will not give her electoral
vote to Harrison and Morton.

A Missing Money! Package.

Amoney package containing $4,000 or
more, and directed to the Chemical na-
tional bank of Now York, is missing. AS
nearly as could be ascertained, it was put
into through pouch at Portland, Ore,
some days ago.
What has become of it? That is a question
which innocent employees at both ends of
the line, and along the route, would like to
have answered. II is also one in which the
party sending the money is very much in
terested.
The postoffice authorities in Portland are
positive that the package left that office; in
the New York office an investigation of
every possible avenue through which the
package could have escaped has been
made, and the postmaster is equally as posi-
tive that the robbery was not committed
there; and that it was not committed on
the route seems pretty conclusive, as the
lock on the pouch was set at the same num-
Der when it reached New York as when it
left Portland. If it had been unlocked, the
number, which was $50, would have been
52l when the pouch reached its destination.
And vet the money is missing. Some
body must have committed the theft, or
else, as has been suggested, the package was
put in the wrong pouch.
For the relief of the numerous innocent
employees, who must necessarily como under
suspicion, it is hoped that the matter will
be speedily cleared up.
The loss falls on the sender. The Chemical
National bank is not involved, and the re-
sponsibility Of the government ends with
an honest endeavor TO find and restore the
money. The advantage of registered
package is that when lost it is more easily
traced
