The Democratic papers are com
planning about the changes that have

that before great while the force will
not only be changed but increased to
OF least two thousand men, to do the
same work that was done by two hun.
bred men under the last admlnistra-
ton, This is not q fact, for the pros
poets now are that in little time there
will be plenty Of work for two thou
sand, and possibly more than that
number of men. The Democrats
should not complain about a change
being made, as the fact that all the
men employed in the yard at the time
the present administration came into
power were Democrats is proof sufti-
Gent that sweeping changes were made
by the last administration. The Demo.
cratic Journals did not complain when
those changes were made, but on the
contrary demanded day after day thai
the administration should "turn thu
rascals out" This is now being don't

gee that any one should complain. Tn

President Harrison recently stated in
conversation with some gentlemen that
he preferred not to make changes in
offices with fixed terms, until the term
expired, or the incumbent resigned.
OF course this applies to those who are
filling their official positions in a salts
factory manner, and we are glad that
he has made such statement. We
do not think faithful official should
be removed for mere political reasons.
II a man is appointed for q term of
years and discharges the duties OF the
office in faithful, conscientious man.
ner, we cannot see any good reason
why he should be removed until he
has finished his time. In cases where
men have proved inefficient, and used
the office for political purposes, they
must expect to have the same measure
melted out to them that they have given
to others. We have some officials il

duty in O faithful manner, and they

Lewis Coates, is having large pearch
orchard planted on his/tarm in Upper
Oxford, Chester County A field of
eleven acres is being prepared, In which
over 1000 tress of the leading varieties
will be plssSed. The ground is to first
reSeiT1esan application Of twelve tons OF
feharred tan from q lanyard near Lam
caster, a material rich in potash; this is
TO be plowed in and the holes In which
| the trees are set will be literally sprink-
led with ground bone. The trees have
been secured from the chelis nursery,
West Chester, and are now on the
ground. The planting will be done by
Arthur and Joel Crlsweli. who " III farm
the orchard this year in corn and pota-
toes. The result of this work will be
looked for with much interest by the
neighboring farmers, as peach growing
in this country has been only partly sue
cessful. The heavy fertilization of tht
land for peaches, particularly by the Rp'
piication of this neyel sort OF fertilizer
attracts much attention, as the popular
theory is adverse to the use of rich lane

WEDNESDAY. APRIL II, 1889.

II is probable that Per Diem Rated
Service Pension bill will be presented
10 Congress at the next session and its
passage strongly urged. Captain II.
ii. Duty, OF the Executive Committee
OF the National Association, in speak
ing OF this measure says:
1.-THE bill is baeed en- the principle of
paying all soldiers, sailors and marines
monthly pension of one cent q day for
Every day they were in the service during
The War Of the Rebellion. The soldier
Who served ninety days is TO receive a
monthly pension oil ninety cents, the one
who served one year a monthly pension
Of u. TO, and at thar rate for each ag-
ton of year to day. The bill was in
troduced in the Senate last gear by
Senators Hoar and Cameron, ard in the
House by Congressman Charles Baker,
OF New York. Our association is organ
King throughout every State in the
Union. We believe the time for action
has arrived. We ask this service pension
as a matter of justice. Colonel Ropes, of
Massachusetts, in advocating the general
feAtures Of the Service bill, ably proves
by statistics that the HE of every man
who served In the army has teen short
ened by at least ten years. When sick
see how quickly they go of. OF a group
Of sixty-tiye men OF my regiment, the
Sixty-seventh New Yo.k Volunteers, or
First Long Island, who attended the
Gettysburg Celebration July 4, 1855,
three have since died. BY the average
statement, based upon the Actuary's
table, only one In seventy should die.
This shows that the deaths among
soldiers are from three to four times
more than the average of mortality"
During the war there were about
two million eight hundred thousand
men enlisted, whose terms of service
extended from thirty days to four
years, of which number there are
about one million one hundred thou
sand still living. 1t is argued that If
the internal revenue tax is retained it
will be amply sufficient to pay these
men this service pension. While this
bill will no doubt be favored by some
we believe that It will be opposed by
the great majority of old soldiers. The
day may come when many of the sur.
vivors will need something of this ma
ture, but we do not think that this is
the case at present. There are men
that served in the army who do not
need It, while on the other hand there
are others that need every cent they
can get, and we would much rather
see something done for them. An old
soldier who is able TO work and sup
port his family would much rather sd
some cQmrade who is unakles to- wort
receive eiRngls4ro Keep the wolf iror
the door, than to be given pittanc

everything possible for the veteran:
