How He FOUND A FRIEND

He stood with care stamped on his face
His mind was filled with gloom,
Gaunt want and he were on a race;
He was looking at the moon.
He wondered if the man up there
Was hungry, tired, or sore;
If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door.
"What shall L do, where can stay?"
He moaned with inward pain;
"My meal last week has gonegaway
TO meier come. back again"
He went, though feeble as mouse
And found an Uncle kind,
That lived near by the Courthouse
Whar' was it,-are you blind?

The Coming States.


Four new states added to the
Union will make forty-two stars on
the old flags field of blue. The new
states will be north and south Dako-
ia, Montana and Washington. Da-
kota has an area of 5000, 900 acres,
and is only exceeded in territorial
area by California and Texas. its
enormous area has suggested divis-
ion and the erection of two states.
Nearly all Dakotians now favor this
plan, which would give North Dakota
250, 200 population and South Dakota
$50, 900. Nearly one-fourth the area
is in Indian reservations. Three
million acres are set aside for the
support of public schools, while 20,-
600, 700 remain open to settlement.
The territory has 800 miles of rail-
road. The Black Hills produce all
the goll and silver mined in the terri
tory. The entire output since the
open " of these mines has been
| S33 100000. The last wheat crop
is estimated at 6O,00O,0OO bushels,
being one-seventh of the entire wheat
crop of the country. The elements
of population are Americans, Ger
mans, Swedes, Norwegians, Rus
slams, Dutch, etc.
Montana, when admitted to the
Union, will be the fourth State in
area. Its territory covers 143, 900
square miles, only 1000 less than Da-
kota. Its present population is put
at 100000. They are gathered from
every quarter of the world and rep
resent nearly every race. Mining
and stock raising are the great indus
tries. In the output of its mines
Montana leads the country. The
output of gold, silver, copper and
lead for 1887 was valued at $26, ,000,
900. Prior to 1867 the stock-rais-
ing industry was fiourishing. Owing
to excessive cold and deep snow the
loss in this respect was estimated at
S25, 100000. During 1887, 626
miles of new railroad were construct

Washington Territory has an area

mountains are the highest in the
country and will yet attract thous-
ands to see their unrivalled grandeur
and beauty. Its rivers are numerous
and navigable, while its resources in
iron, coal, timber and agriculture are
destined to make it one of the richest
Sta1 of the Union. The territory
has over 1000 miles of railroad. The
climate is superb, and Puget Sound
affords commercial facilities that aro
invaluable. Seattle, on the sound,

..The Bank Tragedy" is the title o

''The Bank Tragedy is the title of a
serial story of great power, written by
Mrs. Hatch, author of 1.-The Upland Mys-
terry" which was published in the Tran
script two years ago, which has since then
had sale of about 100000 copies in book

the plot of which is constructed with re-
markable skin. 1t will exercise the inge-
nuity of those who are experts in guess
ing the plots of half-read novels. The
scene is laid in northern New Hampshire,

The law entities the widow of
last war soldier to a pension only
when the soldier died of a cause or
iginating in service. In the more re-
mote and poorer districts of the coun-
try many an ex-soldier is scarcely
cold in death before the widow has
made application for a pension. No
matter what he may have died of,
tree may have fallen on him, he may
have been drowned, death is in any
event attributed to service. Some
times the family doctor is most oblig-
ing with testimony, hoping that a
pension may secure his fee. OF course
speak of exceptional cases. Twelve
dollars month for life is a dream
of riches to the lone widow on some
bleak hillside. 1t will keep the cup
board full. repair the house, silence
the dread of the poorhouse, and make
everything pleasant to the end of
life. With her own efforts at little
gardening she can even be woman
of station. ''Drat the woman" j
heard one housewife say to another,
"there is ho peace with her since she
drawed that pension she thinks of
nothing but fashion"
Among the many commendable
features of our pension system moth
lug is more creditable to our common
humanity than the liberal allowance
made to soldiers who become blind or
lose both legs or both arms in SER
vice. The sum of S72 a month is, of
course, poor compensation for to-
tai blindness, but it will respectfully
support man. In this respect we do
better than some other peoples. |

his breast. | learned that his eyes
had been injured in the service of
France, and that he had been pen
stoned at a few francs per month,

with that of a blind eX-soldier of our
country, going down to peaceful

This is the bright side of pensioning.
Then there is the dark side. Ev-
cry inhabitant of every country viii
lage knows the chronic pension claim

count of rheumatism was allowed
last month, he no sooner learns that
the rate allowed for deafnnss has in
creased, than he suddenly remembers
that he has been deaf ever since the
battle of Shiloh. He is a terror to
examining surgeons and a nuisance
to his honorable army comrades. He
shirked in the war and he shirks now.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7th.

Washington, Jan. 7th.
In the top of the great pension
building, and entered from balcony
overlooking the magnificent court
where the inaugural ball will be held
are the "admitted files" Of the pen
sion bureau. The shelves reach to
the ceiling, and are built out in wings
as in a crowded library. On this
shelving, properly jacketed, belong
the papers in nearly three-quarters
of million pension claims, those
| that have been admitted to the pen
sion office as just claims and the
claimants pensioned. What a be-
wildering array. Tons on tons of
paper, from heavy calendared war
department paper covered with Of
fetal reports, to the cheap note paper
on which the soldier wrote home from
the front. Ink now faded and yellow
with age, and ink that was faded be-
fore it touched the paper; an ocean
| of ink.
Think of the almost innumerable
words that are written upon the pa
pers packed away in the attic. If
Adam and Eve had been condemned
when they were driven out of the
garden of Eden to copy number of
words equal to those here collected,
and had even been expert copyists,
and worked at the job ever since
every day, they would not be through
yet. If school-boy were set to
work to merely count the separate
documents and lived and toiled to
three score and ten, death would find
his work unfinished
These rooms contain, however, but
portion of the official records of the
pensoin bureau, though quite enough
to be food for speculation. There
are records of gallant service and rec
ords of cowardly desertions. There
ale cheerful letters from brave sol
diers written as they lay mangled in
hospitals, and whining letters from
cheap scamps whose sole aim was to
be in the hospital. Then there are
the millions of affidavits containing
the testimony by which these cases
were established.
That some of this testimony is alb
solute and unqualified perjury goes
without saying that larger proper
ton of it is not unalloyed truth is
quite as certain. And this is to be |
said no more of the cases recently al I
lowed than of those admitted years
ago, as hundreds OF ex-soldiers have
iled claims for serious gun shot 1
wounds during the last five years, ,and
an examination of war department.
files has unearthed the positive rec
ord OF the wound in battle. These be
Honorable scars. The class of claims
where perjury Is most rife is in the

Welcome, Republican Delaware.

He has arrived and his name is
Anthony Higgins first republican
senator from Delaware, at last a
state in the Union and not alternate
ly the private political preserve of
the Bayards and Saulisburys.
Senator Higgins is well qualified
for the position of honor and lead
ership which he has won by his pluck,
pertinacity and sagacity, in tangled
fight. He represents the men in the
prime and power of manhood in Del
aware who came of age at the time
when the democratic party South
sought to contest Lincoln's election
by armed rebellion. He is one of
the original republicans of Delaware
who had the courage to come out
against Bourbonism and Bayardism,
when there seemed to be little hope
of political revolution. These pi-
oneers of republicanism showed their
courage and conference when three
hundred of them cast the first repub-
lican votes in Delaware
The new senator comes of the good
old Quaker stock that has contributed
so much to high-toned and honest
style of craftsmanship. He has shown
his individuality and independence,
however, by the maintenance of his
Presbyterian convictions and affilia-
tions. A scholar in his tastes and
requirements, a ready and forcible
debater and an earnest republican,
he will reinforce the republican side
of the senate with much more than
his vote, though the gain of that
vote alone would be a great republic
an event. He represents the indie
pendent young men of Delaware, its
enterprise, its new ideas and its de-
sire to be state in the Union and
not pocket borough for Bayard or
a Salisbury.
Thus small state achieves at once
great national Importance and politi-
and sovereignty.

ware !!

The Constitutional Convention in
New Hampshire has completed its
work, and the amendments agreed on
will be submitted to popular vote on
March u. The most significant of
these are those providing that the BIZ
ennial session of the Legislature shall
begin on the first Wednesday in JAN
uary, instead of June, and giving the
Legislators a salary of 5000 in lieu of
$500 a day for their services. These
things are both desirable, and the
ratification of the amendments are
pretty certainly assured. OF the
adoption of the proposed Prohibitory
amendment there is grave doubt The
submission of such an amendment to
the people, however, is in accordance
with precedents set by other States,
and is the best practical test that can
be made of the strength of Prohi-
bition sentiment.

Judge w. O.. Veazey in a review
of Benedict's "Vermont in the Civil
War;" accords it place among the
most important publications of the
year, and as a general history of the
battles and campaigns in which Yer
mont troops participated, as well as a
record of our own companies and reg
iments, the Judge thinks il entitled to
praise for its fairness, its painstaking
presentation of facts and its interest
ing style. It's opening and closing
chapters, he thinks, should be read as
a public exercise in every school. The
volume shows that there were six
native Vermonters who had the full
rank of major-general ID brigadier
generals, seven of whom held the
brevet rank of brigadieF- general; 45
majors and 20d captains and lieuten-
ants. Among these are some of the
most BRILLIANT names of the war. In
the navy there were three commo-
dores, three captains, SIX lieutenants
and very many of lower grades and
on staff duty. 1t appears that one in
every ten of the entire population of
Vermont enlisted, and that of the able
bodied men of military age every other
one shouldered his musket and went
to fight for his country.

Marked copies of the Poice, the

distributed broadcast within the past
few weeks, devoting three pages to
an elaborate denunciation of Messrs.
Quay, Clarkson and Dudley of the
republican national committee, who,
1t is alleged, purchased a stolen mail
ing list of the Voice and sent to all
the addresses therein republican cam
paign documents. We have read thro'
the article and fail to find that the
honorable" managers of the Poice
have taken steps to secure testimony
on behalf of Messrs. Quay, Clarkson
and Dudley befory taking the outrage
Gus course of thus attempting to
blacken their characters. The man.
ayers of the Voice have taken the al
legged confession of two men, former
ly in their employ, one of whom had
been discharged and the other of
whom the Voice calls ''thieving ras-
CAL" as sufficient basis for his das-
tardly assault. If the three promi-
nent republicans named are guilty of
so great a crime against deoency as
is the Voice in this cowardly attack.
The Voice has assumed to do what
NO court can do, condemn men with
out hearing, and that on the testi-
mony of unreliable witnesses.
