SOME MORE vEroEs.
Grover CieveIand'S memorable and Pralss-
worthy Sense of Justice.

worthy Sense of Justice.
The President continues to stand
like rock between the peoples money
and the pension raiders. Its shame
that the reckless passage by Congress
of private pension bills should impose
on the President so much care and
labor. The average Congressman. like
the average man. finds it hard to say
no to the pitiful appeals of poverty
stricken constituents, who appeal for
aid. and SO. instead Of manfully giving
them something out of their own
pocket, he tries to saddle them on the
United States Treasury. Uncle Sam 8
pocket now being full and running
over.
The President, having a rather pro-
sale regard for his oath of Office. and
an memorable sense of justice. still
keeps his hand firmly at the Treasury
gate. A few weeks ago he returned to
the House of Representatives nine bills
with as many vetoes. Some of the
applicants were widows in apparent
poverty, one of them even the widow
of soldier of the war of 1872. Every
one of the messages Is marked by some
pithy statement showing that how
ever much the President may sympa-
thize with an applicant his sense of
public duty is his first consideration.
The following may serve as sample:
Much interest Is manifested in this case.
based upon former friendship and intimacy
with the deceased and kind feeling and SYM
pathy for his widow. I should be glad to re-
spond to these sentiments to the extent of ap-
proving this bill butt is one of the misfortunes
of public life and oficial responsibility that a
sense of duty frequently stands between con-
ception of right and q sympathetic inclination.
In another case. after going over the
evidence in support of the claim and
showing its inconsistency. he expresses
himself with just bluntness.
1 believe this claim for a pension to be a
fraud from beginning to end. and the effrontery
with which it has been pushed shows the neces-
sity of O careful examination OF these cases
The fact is that more than one-half
of the private pension applications are
either fraudulent or without proper
foundation. The general pension laws
are wide enough to embrace all just
claims. and case that fails before the
Pension Bureau ought to be most care
fully and thoroughly investigated in
Congress before being allowed. And
yet Congress passes bill after bill and
throws all the labor of investigation on
the President. 1t is not to De won
dered at that he sometimes calls their
attention to their duty and response

SOUND DOCTRINE.
Ar. Bayard's DefiaitiOu of the Rights OF
Naturalized Citizens Abroad.

Ar. Bayard's Definition of the Rights of
Naturalized Citizens Abroad.
Secretary Bayard has taken a sound
position in the case of the naturalized
American citizens of French descent
who were impressed for military serv-
see on their return to France.
The law on the subject is reasonably
clear. There are cases wherein a for
eigner who returns to his native land
after having been naturalized here
anay be there held to military obliga-
rlons incurred before he left home for
the United States But he can not be
held for military service when such
prior obligations do not exist-that is.
when the claim or demand has it's
origin after American citizenship has
been acquired.
AS rule, the rights of naturalized
American citizen on returning to his
own couatry are the same as those of
Q native born citizen. and are entitled
. to the same protection from this Gov
eminent. The arrest and detention of
the former for military service would
be regarded by the State Department
at Washington as substantially the
same as the arrest aud detention of
the latter. Nor are the naturalization
papers of a citizen open to impeach-
ment by foreign Government They
must be accepted by such Government
as binding certificate of American
.citizenship-at least until pronounced
fraudulent or Irregular in this country.
These are the views maintained by
Secretary Bayard. in the diplomatic
correspondence with the French Gov
eminent just sent to the Senate.

unmanageable by reason of her wild
nature, will readily take to a nest made

plum and cherry trees, with few ever

poultry yard, for there will be full
crops of fruit and the curculio will be
banished. A row of cherry trees on
one side of the writer's lawn, nestled
among a double row of Norway
spruces on the north side, have never
yet been touched by n curculio, while
the shelter of the sPruces seem to give
an idea of concealed enemies to the
greedy sparrows and the cat birds.

The PIumed knights Pathos.

Stuffed as it is with "chestnuts'
there are one or two touches in Blaine q
latest utterance that are very pathetic.
The most pathetic, perhaps. is his in
ability to understand why so many
people think it impossible for him to
be honest. Of course it is an exagger-
alton. No one really thinks it impos.
sible for Blaine to be honest But this
fact only makes his belief on the sub
ject the more pathetic. It is really
quite touching to think of the absent
