A Side CLEAN.

So few are the strokes of the inspired
pen that go to make up the pictures of
Christ's childhood and youth that every
one is especially precious. But after
we have turned the page whose brief
record is only that " the child grew and
waXed strong in spirit, filled with wis
dom, and the grace of God was upon
him." that he went home with his par
ents and " was subject unto them" that,
" he increased in wisdom and stature
and in favor with God and man." then,
as through suddenly opened window,
comes little shaft of light that beauti-
fully illumines the picture of the holy
childhood. When he went back to
Nazareth, after miracle working visit
to the Passover at Jerusalem, he went
into the synagogue, "as his custom
was" Does there not flash before YOU
at once vision of the sweet, white
robed child, very child, and yet with
a light in his eyes that must ever have
been little awful to see, walking
through the billy streets of Nazareth
to his fathers. house Sabbath after Sab
bath for all these thirty years? Father,
mother, do not fail TO turn the restless
little feet early toward the synagogue.
Every Sabbath morning, as you go up
with the great congregation where the
Father has promised to meet with his
children, take your children, reminding
them as they run heedlessly at your
side, that they are following in his foot
steps whose custom it was to 90 up
to the house of prayer.-E. p. A., IN

The Two Policies.

That the poicy-or, rather, the prin-
ciple-adopted by the present commits
sioner of pensions is wise and Just
might be argued, if argument were
needed in its support, from the action
of his democratic predecessor in DAYS
during which he supposed an emergency
to exist for the placation of the soldier
element in politics. The principle
recognized by the present commits.
sloner is that where doubt exists as to
the business of pension claim it shall
be solved in favor of the applicant.
The policy of the late commissioner
and, for that matter, of the late admin
istration-was that it should be solved
against him. Mr.. Black was the great
rejecter of applicants for pensions, Just
as Mr.. Cleveland was the great vetoer
of such pension bills as congress had
passed when moved by the equity of
claim in which Mr.. Black had detected
legal flaw. Mr.. Cleveland is not a
jocose person, but he seldom failed TO
attempt joke when assigning cause
for veto of a pension to some SOL
dier's widow. He was humorous only
when limiting that Corporal Jones or
Private Brown was more injured by
the canteen than the canister. He will
joke no more on such grim subjects.
But for few weeks the late commits,
sioner of pensions was moved by the
equities, or by the equities induced
by the expediences. What long
lists of "pensions granted" particu-
larry in the politically close states,
the newspapers used to publish
in the months of September and Oc-
tober last, and how promptly and gladly
the department furnished the list; and
how greatly the lists were reduced in
November and December. In Septem-
Der and October an election was pend
ing; in November and December the
election was but painful memory to
the department and the administration.
In reply to inquiries, the newspapers
were informed that the department was
taking up very few new cases. The
equities remained; the expediences
had ceased. What the late commits
sioner did in September and October
the new commissioner will do from now
on. He will strive to make the pen.
sion bureau department for the equita-
BILE relief of wounded or worn-out
soldiers and for the relief of the
widows and orphans of deceased com
rades. The democratic administration
favored the granting of pensions from
policy and the republican from prin-
ciple.

existence. He was soldier in the war of 1872,
in which he was severely wounded, and he takes
as active an interest in political and public

him the other day, in the course of which the
following facts were brought out:

THE AWARD OF TIME.

The Cincinnati Times-Star evident
ly does not think the honors evenly
divided i'm the cases of Jefferson Davis
and oliver johnson, the abolitionist
of Brooklyn, both of whom were bur-
led on the same day. Oliver johnson
was long connected with the New
York Independent, and was all his
life an uncompromising abolitionist.
They were both of them past their
four score, Mr.. Davis having been
born in 1908 and Mr.. Johnson in 1909.
The Times-Star says:
"Oliver Johnson who devoted his
life to the abolition of slavery, and
Jefferson Davis, who devoted his to its
perpetuation, were buried upon the
same day, the former without any
special demons tration on the part of
those who benefited by his laDors,
and the latter with extravagant &C
CARNATIONS from those whom he led to
the brink of ruin. The one who was
successful in a good cause Is almost
forgotten, while the other who failed
In q bad cause is eulogized to the skies.
History will award the needs of praise
differently" ...
That depends. History is by no
means the impair tial and impersonal
awarder of justice that she is rep
resented TO be. The awards OF his
tory depend very much upon the
awarders. There is as much differ
ence of opinion concerning the First
Napoleon's true place in history to-
day as there was at the time of his
death, almost three quarters of a GEN.
fury since. The place assignedJefferson
Davis i'm history will depend entirely
upon who writes that history. If it
does not, he will be an exception to
all who have lived and taken part
in great movements, concerning the
justice and issue of which mems minds
have been widely divided. The
very difference of opinion to day
exerting concerning Jefferson Davis
true place will continue to character
ize all after placIngs of the man.
Prejudice will die it is true, and the
dust which settles on the scales of a
present personal Judgment may be
blown away with the currents of
time, but the radical differences of
opinion as TO the real personality of
the man will not be dispelled by time.
His true egoism will be the dispute of
coming generations as Of this present,
wherever his life and acts are re-
viewed.
