The Private Pension Abuse.


The custom of passing private pension bills
has imposed a new and certainly unnecessary
duty upon the president-that of investigating
each case to find out whether the applicant has
not already been pensioned, orwhether there is
any substantial claim upon which a pension
could be justified. More than one instance has
occurred on which private pension bills have
been duplicated, and still others in which it
could not have been possible that majority of
both houses would have voted for the bills if
they had known the facts.
The present rule in the case of private pen
sion bills appears to be that they are prepared
by professional pension agents and placed in
the hands of complaisant members, who intro
duce them without knowing anything of their
merits or dement's. They are ground through
the committees in patches without consideration
of any kind in many cases, and placed upon
their passage at a time set apart for the consid-
Grafton of private bills. Scarcely score of
members are present on such occasions, and the
bills are called off by their titles and recorded
as passed, though no quorum be present and no
vote taken.

" AKING a running commentary
on some passages OF scripture
u 4 the Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage, d.
j 3D., took the text: "And she
went, and came, and cleaned in
the field after the reapers; and her hap
was to light on part OF the field belong
ing unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of
Elimelech. Ruth IL, 8. He preached
from these words the following sermon:
The time that Ruth and Naomi arrive at
bethlehem is harvest time. 1t was the
custom when a sheaf fell from loadin a
harvest-field for the reapers to refuse to
gatherit up; that was to be left for the
poor who might happen TO come that way.
If there were handfuls of grain scattered
EcroSs the field after the main harvest had
been reaped, instead of raking it, as farm

land, left in its place so that the poor

Facts and Faith.
fife InteriOr-presbyterian.I

We ought to bless God for giving to few
men and fewer women a genius for specu-
lation and dispute about the hidden things
of this life and the life to come There
would be woeful waste of power in this
world if any considerable portion of its in
habitants were given to polemics. 1t is
the fortune of the vast majority to be doors
rather than thinkers end takers. And
wisely so, for it is by doing that man
makes himself useful to his fellows and at
the same time acquires development of
self. The starting point of happy and q
helpful life is where the human servant
reverently asks the Lord, "What wilt thou
have me to dol" Then let the few busy their
brains with queries and philosophizings
Let them dispute among themselves over
probabilities and differ about interpreta-
lions. 1t IS enough for the great COM
pany of disciples to march humbly and
yet grandly on, always facing Zionward,
keeping step together because of the i'm
portant trusts and precious promises
which they hold in common, helping to
bear one another's burdens on the way,
and utterly silencing all murmurs, cavils
and complaints, come they from what
source they will, by the trustful and tri-
umphant shout, God reigns!" The
prayerful disciple is the powerful disciple.
Holding fast to the fact that God hears
and answers prayer, and having and I'M
shakable faith in the rightfulness and JUS
tice of the answer when it comes, the be-
lever has JOY of assured possession
which the world cannot take away ard an
equipment for service which ali hell can
not impair.

Confirmation.
Tnr.-srh Arn-.ir,-.r |

Ii confirmation signifies that the child
shall merely affirm certain doctrines and
texts, without the determination in after
years, at whatever sacrifice, to be true to
the spirit and practice of Judaism, it has
no meaning for the Israelite. 1t is a
precious waste of time and effort. The
home, not the synagogue, must confirm
the child in Judaism. 1t is the quiet, fer
vent current of the truly Jewish house
hold, alive with reverent influences, with
its atmosphere of daily religion and Sab
bath peace, that is the best confirmation
manual for the young. Without it Judaism
is but skeleton, whose hideousness flowers
and rhetoric can conceal only for time,
as many OF us are beginning sadly but
forcibly to realize.

Useless w ealth.
tChristian Register. J

The time will come, we trust, when it
will be considered positively wicked for a
man or woman with several millions Of
dollars to die without leaving large bene-
factions for public uses. 1t may be said
that the right to accumulate a large fort
une carries with it the right to dispose of
it according to individual preferences.
But there are just limitations to the truth
of such statements. No man has a right
to live selfshly or to perpetuate his selfish
ness in his will. The law recognizes the
importance OF the family life and provides
for its stability, and the man who makes
no provision for his family is as culpable
as he who, though abundantly capable
makes no provision beyond it. But the
perpetuation of vast fortunes as family
monuments is the vulgarity of selfish
ness.

Making Religion Attractive.
[Catholic World

All the popular meaures adopted by our
non-catholic brethren in making religion
attractive, might we'll be used by ourselves
with much benefit to religion and to con-
gregations. 1t is certainly not un-catholic
or irreligious to utilize the pleasant and
beautiful in religious matters. One feature
that might be added to some of our
churches with propriety and benefit is an
attractive sermon bya competent preacher
All of us are not so eagerto be enlightened
that we can listen with profit to mere
formal sermon delivered by poor speaker.
Sinners and converts must be attracted to
the churches, not by side-shows or SEN
sations, but by proper Improvement n
what is essentially proper and regular. A
careful study in elocution and an intelli-
gent study OF English literature would
help very much in making the regular
sermons delivered in some churches a
source of pleasure and spiritual profit.

tons that affect the present and eternal
interests of men, it is absurd to expect
that their sermons shall be warranted not
to exceed twenty minutes in length. Men
should go to service not for amusement,
but for stimulus and instruction; not for
disqualification, but for the worship of
God. And this primary end must never
be made secondary.

 Group is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter months, as it is then most prevalent To post them concerning the cause, first symptoms, treatment and how to prevent it. is the object of this article.
 The origin of croupis common cold, children that are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow The first symptoms of croup is hoarSeness, 1t is Il peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized and once heard aI ways remembered. Usually q day or two before the attack, the child be- comes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms of having taken cold, and this is where the mistake Is usually made, the mother thinking her child has just taken cold gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night by the violent coughing of the child, finds 1t has the croup and remembers It has had a cold or been hoarsc for | day or two. Such circumstances often oc- cur, and in many cases the mother has nothing i'll the house that will relieve 1t, and may be several miles from f physi- elan or drug store lou can well im- agine the situation and Ter distress. The time 10 act is when the child first becomes hoarse or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given from that time OH, all tendency to croup will disappear and all danger be- avoided The remedy preients fully ten thous and cases of ereap every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout tine Western States and Territories; they have learned its value and how to Use il, and i'll those families croup is seldom known because it $ always prevented.
 The best treatment for reroup is Cham berlains Cough Remedy used as di- rected with each bottle. Careful in- quiry fails to reveala single ease where 1t has ever failed although great many severe and dangerous cases have been cured by it. Gan any mother who has small children afford to be without such a remedy It costs but fifty cents. can she afford to take the chances for 70 trivial an amount.

The Population of Arkansas.

Fort Smith Journal: In 1880 Ar kansas cast l07,290 votes Tn the presidential election. Tho census for that year showed that the popul ation was SOP, ,525. Tn 1888 the vote cast at the presidential cleo ton was, as shown by the official returns, 155, ,94l. The vote cast in 1888 was seven and one-half per cent of the population. Presuming the percentage to be the same Tn lS8S, Arkansas has population at this time of l,0S0,6l5. This is doubtless fair proposition as there ls always much larger vote cast a' the state election in September than in the national election m No vembcr. If this increase continues Tn the same proportion for the next two years (and it is far more lik ely to be greater than less) Arkansas wlllhave in 1890 1,ll7,030 lnhabi- tants. Counting the basis for re- presentation n the house of repres- entallves at one member for every 1o0,000 inhabitants, as it is now, Arkansas will have eight members of congress instead of five as at present.
