MANNED soLprERs, DESERTS.

While many wild and impracticable
pension schemes are pressed upon the
attention of Congress which ought to
be rejected, there will scarcely be diff
ference of opinion as to the meritorious-
ness of the claim of the manned soldiers
of the Union for an increase of pension.
When the sacrifices which these men
made to preserve the safety of the Union
are considered, no reasonable reward in
the way of support and maintenance
will be regarded too great as COM
pensation for the losses which they so
heroically endured.
When the darkest day of the war is
recalled TO mind. it will seem paltry
thing TO haggle over the price which
should be paid for the loss Of limbs or
of sight, At that time it would have
been difficult to set any approximate
value on the efforts made for the saliva
ton of the nation.
The veterans, who, 10y loss of sight
or by amputation of limbs, have become
disabled and who, in consequence, have
to face helpless and shelterless old
age, have not only been injured by a
casualty of war but are subjected to a
never. ceasing ailment, which is the re-
suit Of the injury so inflicted. The
general breaking up of the system, con-
sequent upon amputation, is held upon
high medical authority to have classed
80 per cent. of the men, who have been
so treated, as affected with heart disease.
The relief, which they are compelled to
seek from the effects of prolonged pain,
calls for the operation of powerful
drugs, and all the i'll effects of morphia,
are frequently added to the original
pains.
IT must, besides be remembered that
soldiers, suffering from wounds, can
not make provision for their families
through ! ife insurance, and, on this ac-
count, the apxieties Of old age are api
10 be redoubled. Considerations such
as these are urged for the passage OF
Senate bill No. S33.

THE LArE SENATOR BECK

The death of Senator Beck is little
short of national calamity. He was
enc of the few men left who had par.
tieipated in the post bell,tm discussions
of the years succeeding the great war
period, and by reason of that eircum-
stance he was one of those who left
his impress on the legislation which
that period rendered necessary.
Mr.. Beck brought to the discharge of
his duties knowledge, honesty, fidelity
and diligence. In behalf of what he
thought was right his determination
was invincible and his intellectual re-.
sources were completely available.
Economic subjects had received large
amount of study at his hands, and he
was believed TO be on such questions
one of the best Informed men in Con
gress. Accordingly, on the tariff he
took extreme Democratic ground And
he was known as consistent free
trader whenever the finances of the
nation were under consideration.
He was a man of strong convictions,
sterling integrity and inflexible resolu-
tion--in short, the kind of man who
leaves his mark on a deliberative as
sembiy. He was also man of remark
able personal magnetism, so that few
men ever came within the reach of his
acquai ntance who did not acknowledge
the spell of his genial attractiveness. He
was stalwart in all respects. He was a
strong partisan, an able debater and an
ever faithful friend. Kentucky has now
many accomplished and conscientious
public men, but it is no disparagement
10 them TO say that it will not be easy to
supply from their number the loss which
the State and the nation has sustained
in the sudden death of Mr.. Beck

Everybody Should Eat Olives, Bt
Few Know How They Grow.


Tverybody should Eat olives, But
Few Know How They Grow.
From he Popuidr Science Monthly.
The olive has been cultivated In the
regions of the Mediterranean coasts
from time immemorial. Olive oil there
takes the place of butter. eSpain has
about 100000 acres in olives; Italy
2,2i0,000 and France about 100000
acres. Forty five varieties Of the fruit
are described.
The tree occasionally grows to be
sixty feet high and twelve feet in cir
cumference of trunk. The varieties
differ In the nature of the wood, the
foliage and the quality and shape of the
fruit The fruit is mild or sharp or
bitter, and the oils differ likewise, so
that pure olive oil may be unfit for
purposes of food, and only fit for greas
ing machinery and making soap The
green, unripe olives, having had the
bitter taste extracted with salt, are pre-
served in vinegar with spices.
The ripe olives are gathered in the
fall, when they are as large as common
plums. They are of dark green color,
and the pith, now become hard stone,
contains savory kernel. The flesh is
spongy, and its little cells are filed with
the mild oil, which runs out at the least
pressure. The finest oil is the virgin
oil, which is made by collecting the
freshly gathered olives in little heaps
and letting them press the oil out by
their own weight 1t is clear, and has
delicate, nutty taste, with little or nc
odor.
When the fruits cease to give the oi
by themselves, they are pressed will
small millstones, yielding an oil which
is also clear and has pleasant taste
The olives, still rich in oil, are next pu
in sacks, boiling water is poured OF
them, and they are pressed once more.
The oil gained by this process is vel
lowish green, and has sharp taste ant
an unpleasant smell. AT Marseilles th,
olive oils are classed into manufacturin!
oils for burning, greasing machinery
and soap making; refined oil, oil from
the pulp or husks, and table or edibl
oil.

kKNruCKY,s NEXT sENA TOR

The stroke of fate which has de-
piived Kentucky Of her experienced
and able representative in the Senate of
the United States, is one which pro-
lluces a vacancy which that State will
soon be called upon to fill. Itso hap
pens that the State is at present well
supplied with able public men. In
years gone by Kentucky has furnished
the nation with cabinet and other
officers whose names and acts are a
part Of its history IT has also had the
honor OF giving to the nation the service
of Henry Clay, one of the great trium-
virate of statesmen who dominated the
Senate during considerable period.
If the mantle of Clay did not exactly
iii the figure and proportions of James
j. Beck it was not because that states
man was more indifferent to the ques-
lions of the time, but because those
questions had so changed their bearing
that their status had undergone a re-
markable alteration through the events
of the war. The progress of the coun-
try's history made Mr.. Beck a Demo
crat OF the most pronounced type. In
this respect he was thorough repre-
sentative of his State, which the course
Of events had placed in the front rank
0f the Democratic column
The determination of the succession
TO the vacant Senatorship is the business
Of the Legislature of Kentucky. There
is no scarcity of worthy material from
which TO chose. The whole Kentucky
delegation in Congress is one which
does honor to the State, and some of its
members, like Mr.. Breckenridge and
others, have made themselves con
spicuous by extraordinary ability and
suavity of manners.
But there will be no question in tn,
Kentucky delegation-still less through
cut the nationals to who should bt
Mr. Beck's successor. Beyond question
the foremost publicist of Kentucky, per
haps in the whole country, is John G
Carlisle. About this there will be little
dispute. His long and ably sustained
career as Speaker of the House wor

parties. His ability both as theorist anC
as practical leader is unquestioned
While he is strong in conviction he i;
moderate and adroit in statement. Hi
is above any resort to unfair or merely
partisan measures. His temper is emf
nently judicial. Without doubt Mr.
Carlisle gathers to himself all the intel
lectual hopes of the Democratic party
in sense in which no other man car
hope to rival him be is the leader of the
party. He is therefore the man to sue
coed TO the vacant Senatorship, anC
Kentucky cannot more honor hersel

DISCRIMINATING ENCOREs.
A Story of John Stetson and a yei
Bad ctOr

A Story of John Stetson and Very
Bad Actor.
From the Nei0 orleans Piedyune.
One who goes to see Edwin Booth
enact Hamlet knows what to expect.
He is charmed with the actors beauti-
full reading. He gets his moneys worth,
and is satisfied if he does not hear the
soliloquy, "To be or not to be, spoken
a second time in response to encore.
When 1t comes to a song or dance or an
entertainment made up of specialties an
audience seems to become hoggish, and
wants double dose. Reasonable people
who attend concerts are made to suffer
by the unreasonable people who encore
everything without discrimination. Es-
pecially is this so at complimentary
affairs and amateur snaps.
The worst performer gets the loudest
call. There is more of sympathy in
the noise than compliment. A veteran
and accomplished teacher of music re-
Gently arranged concert for her pupils
and on the tickets she announced that
no bouquets would be received and no
encores responded TO. This at once
lifted an expensive burden from the
friends of pupils and weight of eX.
pectant sorrow from the minds of those
who felt it duty to attend the concert.
In the lowest places of amusement,
where the patter of beer glasses joins
the stamping of feet, the encore is so
common that the stage manager does
not wait for it.
He rings his bell and sends the per-
former on again for another turn, no
matter how tough and undesirable the
act just witnessed may have been. John
Stetson, the blunt spoken and eccentric
Boston manager, when running a va
riety show, was persuaded to try ham
fat actor, who said he had specially In
which he could make hit If he had a
chance. The performer went on and
went off, and there was not sound of
applause in the audience. "That set
ties you" said the Managers "get outP'

poor actor, 81 made big hit" "Hit
be hanged" said Stetson. "There
wasn't hand" "Of course not; of
course not, said the actor 81 par
alyzed 'em; they couldn't applaud.
y 1t may have been But at genteel
concerts, where refined audiences come
to listen to the numbers set down on
the programme, the encore should be
discouraged. The greatest compliment
singer can have is full house. No
amount of noise, hand -clapping, stamp
ing or whistling in half empty hall
can compensate for the small show OF
dollars in the ticket office. The persist.
ent encore has come to be quite nuis
ance: It makes many people tired. II
should be discontinued
