The Pension Vetoas.

The President continues to veto private
pension bills, but the Republican news
papers have little to say about the matter
When he first began to veto tlese, bills
| every Republican organ in the country
made an cutlery Their aim was to create
sentiment among the soldier element
against him. They soon found, however,
| that they were making a great mistake
The real character Of the vetoed bills was
SHOWN by the Democratic and independent
newspapers, and the whole country saw
t'iat the President was only doing his duty
The result was that public sentiment sup
ported him, and it still supports him.
glance at some of these private pension
bills shows what outrageous swindIes they
are In nearly all cases the applications
have been rejected by the pension bureau
for excellent reasons. The claimants then
went to ConGre s and had their claims
allowed. or course they were not examined
carefully. The average Congressman hasn't
the time and patience to make a thorough
examination of the thousands Of pension
claims which are forced upon his attention.
In most cases be favors a pension claim,
because the Pension Committee, which
hasn't examined it, says it is all right, or
because some friend wants him to vote for
it. The President, however, examines every
bill which comes before him, and he vetoes
those which he believes to be contrary to
law or without merit. The country thanks
him for this conscientious performance of
his duty, and the Republican journals find
it to the advantage of their party not to
criticise his pension vetoes any more
Duty, conscientiously performed, Will win
the favor Of the people, even in the face of
partisan hate.

Blair's Proposed Blue Laws.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire. has
| bobbed up again With another scheme for
| the benefit of mankind. He is always bob
bling up with schemes of that kind. and
| some people are ungenerous enough to call
him crank. After ALL he may not be q
crank. Perhaps he may be only striving to
prevent himself from being forgotten. If
| ne is crank, he isn't a bitter, malignant
one.
His latest scheme is in the shape of bill
| to prevent any person, corporation or ser
want from engaging in any work on the
| Sabbath day that is calculated to disturb
others, or from taking part In any kind of
amusement. Of course this means that no
mails shall DO carried or distributed Let
ters which relate to works of necessity or
mercy, or which concern the health, life or
death of any person are excepted. Letters
of this kind, however, must have
their character indicated upon their eavel-
Opes All military and naval drills or
parades on the Sabbath day are prohibited.
A good many other things are prohibited,
but the above are sufficient to indicate the
purpose of the bill. OF course the proposed
legislation applies only to places which are
under the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States, but it is intended to open the
way for similar legislation in the different
States.
Mr.. Blair has evidently been studying
the Blue Laws of Connecticut, and has
reached the conclusion that there is SO
much good in them that they ought to
be revived He says that his purpose is to
secure, as far as possible, rest for the whole
people on the Sabbath day, and to lead
them to give more attention to their moral
culture and the observance of the Sabbath
day. His purpose may be a good one, but
ought he not to give up politics and become
teacher of morals and religionl The poo
pie must be converted to his way of think
ing before the legislation which he pr opposes
can be made effective

! The refusal of the Republicans to accept
Mr.. Mills proposition, to take vote at
once upon the tariff bill without the usual
| debate o. amendments under the five min
utes rule, is satisfactory indication that
they believe the bill has the support of
majority OF the House. If they Thought
they could defeat It, they would accept Mr..
Mills proposition at once and thus get rid
of it.
Mr. Mills proposed not only to take vote
upon the bill but also upon a Republican
substitute for it, but unfortunately for the
Republicans they have not been able TO
agree upon Il substitute. Some want free
sugar and some free whisky, and a great
many of them recognize the necessity for a
reduction of the tariff
1t is quite cear that their aim now is to
relieve, if possible, the Senate from the re-
sponsibiity Of considering the bill at this
session. They will, therefore, consume as
much time as they can under the five min
utes rule. They will offer a great many
amendments ard discuss them In that
way they may prevent a vote on the bill
until the early part Of July. If the House
tee will hear all the objections that any
body has to make against it, and it is not
improbable that this plan Will be so success
full that Congress will adjourn before that
committee reports it to the Senate
The Republicans don't want the bill to
become law, because it would help the
Democratic party in the Presidential cam
paign, and they don't want the Senate
placed in the position of having to act upon
1t this session. If the Senate were to Kill it,
that body being Republican, the Republican
party would be placed in the position of re-
fusing to reduce the surplus, which is al
ready assuming dangerous proportions
Such position would be an unpopular one
The Republicans have been Boosting all
along that the bill had no chance of passing
the House, but when an opportunity is pre-
sented to them to test the question whether
it has or not, they refuse to accept it,
Doubtless they thought when the tariff de-
bate began it would be an easy job to kill the
bill. They have found out their mistake.
and some of them, on account of the strong
petitions they are receiving
from their constituents, urging them
to support the bill, are in doubt whether
they ought not to vote for it. 1t may be
safely assumed that the Republicans will
not only delay final action upon it in the
House as long as they can, but that they
will also hinder it's consideration in the
Senate if it should reach that body. They
will dodge the issue while protesting their
willingness to meet it, but IN pursuing that
course they will not deceive the country,

Paul Grottkau, the leader of the May
riots of 1886 in Milwaukee, Wis, seems
likely to get off with only one months i'm
prisonment. In April, 1887. he was con

to one years imprisonment, but in order
that his counsel might appeal. the sentence
was temporarily suspended, and Grottkau

the new trial was refused and he was COM

June Cometh

From Hdrper's Magazine.
o Lover-bird, haste to thy wooing,
Break forth into bloom, red rose;
For the east doth flush with an eager blush.
And June through the garden goes.
She is white like the tall white lilies
That sicken the air with sweet,
And the yellow hair DER her bosom bare
Falls down to her Sandald feet.
Her eyes are as deep as the ocean,
And calm as forest pool;
Her breath is as free as the sea-winds be,
And her lips with the dew are cool.
She comes from the daisied meadows,
BY tender winds o'erblown
For May, the child who erst ran wild,
Is now to'a woman grown.
Behold! like queen she cometh,
SO stately and fair and meek;
And the lilies swoon in their own perfume
To touch her fairer cheek
o birds. be no cease to your singing;
Break forth into bloom, red rose;
For days high-priest cometh out of the east,
And June through the garden goes.
Her eyelids droop with the passion
Her trembling lips would own;
And the kiss of the sun her brow upon
A rose in her cheek has blown.
Her long white arms to her lover
She lifts and her parted lips
Drink the light of his kiss, as bee, l wis,
The sweet of lily sips
Sing loud, o We birds, of loving,
Till all the world gives ear;
For the sun is III love in the heavens above,
And June. the queen, is here.

The Parson Answerc /.
From the Youths Companion.

EIOW Ut IOhtt 3 COHtDIutOH.
Parson Green was one of the school commit
tee of the town of Briarfeld and one of his hob
bles related to the study of geography He con-
tended that very little time should be spent
over foreign countries, but that each pupil
should leave a common school with clear
and accurate knowledge of his own States re-
sources and topography. Not only was ne de-
voted to this theory, but he lost no opportunity
of prOmulgatng it.
VISITING school, one day, with a colleague
who ventured to differ with him on this point
the minister undertook to Illustrate his views by
practical example. Selecting q particularly
bright little girl in the geography class which
had been reciting about Africa. he said to her:
What do you know about the source of the
Nile?"
The little maid thereupon gave a vivid &C
count Of explorations and hardships, at which
her teacher smiled approvingly
DO you know where Liberia iS?"
She answered promptly and correctly.
Can you tell anything about the ancient city
of Alexandria,
1t proved that she could tell a great deal, and
when she had distinguished herself in the eyes
Of her classmates by charging upon it, the
minister suddenly changed his tactics
What town in your State manufactures
most cloth?' he asked.
The child hung her head. She did not know
How many mountains are there over 1900
feet high?"
She had apparently never been told. The
minister looked triumphantly at his friend
Now, you see" he went on, this child
dOeSn I even know enough about her own State
to utilize its advantages when she grows up
Tell me, my little glrl, if you wanted to go from
your home to New York, what line of railroad
you would take, and what bodies of water you
would cross"
Il don't know. sir, sorrowfully said the child
Then you see yourself that you don't know
anything about your own State. - said he deter
mined to drive the question home. ''Well, if
you wanted to take such journey what should
you dor"
The child was driven to the wall, and like
many weaker creature, she turned at bay
Her eyes were full of tears and her lip quivered
but she replied bravely: Il should just ask my
papa to take me to the station and buy my
ticket"
She was questioned no more that day.

st. AuEustine Harnor.

The people of st. Augustine complain
that the Committee on Commerce treated
them unju,tly when it struck out of the
river and harbor bill the $35, 900 appropria-
ton for their harbor, aud their complaint is
well founded. The bill, when it was re-
ported to the House. contained no appro-
priation for that harbor, for the reason that
the estimates for it were not before the River
and Harbor Committee. They had been
mislaid and could not be found. Congress
man Dougherty hunted them up, however,
and an appropriation was inserted i'll the
bill before it passed the House.
The Commerce Committee struck il out
because it thought that the harbor ought to
be surveyed with the view of determining
the expediency of improving it, The
committee could not have examined into
the matter very closely. 1t seems that
survey has been made by the engineer in
charge of the harbor and that he made a
favorable report
st. Augustine is becoming one of the
most important towns in Florida. 1t hasn't
much commerce as yet, but the prospect
that it will have is quite promising. The
amount that is needed to give it very good
harbor is not very large, and it is certain
that the money will not be wasted The
Florida delegation will make an effort to
have the appropriation restored, and the
effort ought to be successful.
