If the government is so rich that
it must expend S5O,OOO,OO0, we sug-
gest that there is better and more
inviting field than the construction
of public buildings. The farmer,
and particularly the farmer of the
Northwest, is in trouble The pro
duct of his toll is to-day quoted at
less than the cost of production. If
this continues n year or two longer,
he will be driven to the wall and
nothing can save him from absolute
ruin. England is seriously consid
ering the wisdom of loaning money
to the Irish farmer at rate of III
terest which is the lowest evel
known. Shall not the great govern
ment of the United States do rs
much for the American farmer? \
bill is. at present pending i'll con
gress, calling for n loan to farmer
| at two per cent If the treasury i

A Bit Of History.

From j. l.. Stolls South Bend uud) Times
The bittercontcst III the Eyangeli-
cal Association, resulting III all three
of its bishops being deposcd for the
time being, reminds us of the fact
that the publication Office of that
denomination, now great and prof
table institution mt Cleveland, Ohio,
had its inception and early develop
ment in the town Of New Berlin,
Union county, Pa, now II deserted
village of about 700 inhabitants.
New Berlin was at that time the
county seat of Union county. By
the division of this county, about
the year 1855, New Berlin lost the
county seat-Lewisburg being made
the seat of justice of Union county,
and Middleburgh that of Snyder
At one time there We're six papers
published in New Berlin now there
is not single one. The Evangeli
cal Association established semi
nary there which is stillin existence
Der ChriStliche Botschatter, the or
gan of this prosperous church, was
founded at New Berlin and for many
years edited by Bishop w. w. Or
wig, native Pennsylvania bu
quite n fluent German writer. Ney
Berlin was the official headquarter,
of the Evangelical church, but som
time in the sos Il removal to Cleve
land was decreed. 1t turned out t
= be n good move for the Association
but disastrous one for New Berlin
Some very eminent lawyers and pol
ticians were once residents of tina
town. Grass now grows in its prir
cipal streets. 1t is probably til
a deadest town in Pennsylvania.

In this country, rs in all other
countries with liberal governments,
there is room for only two great
political parties. \ real triangular
fight is unknown in political as well
as civil warfare. The contest is
either for or against whatever the
bone of contention may be. Third
parties. in the past. have on more
than one occasion been the means
of defeating the very object for
which they were created. This, OF
course. is not always the case, rs II
certainly is not always the object oi
the prime movers. The safe plan Is
to utilize the great parties for ne
complishing needed reforms.

Curiosities of Pensions.

Blaine's great grandmother got II
pension, and Presidents Grant and
Lincoln received land for their ser
vices in the Mexican and Black
Hawk wars. Robert T.. Lee got 100
acres for the work he did as n colo
mel in our war with Mexico, and JEFF
ferson Davis received the same
amount for his services. The MeXi-
can war pensions are fast dying out
and there are at present but few
revolutionary widows on the rolls
About five years ago there were
eighty. The number is now reduced
to twenty-nine, and three of these
are ninty-seven years of age. They
are Annie Maria Young, of Pennsyl-
vania Nancy Rains, of Vermont
and Susan Curtis, of Maine, they
must have been married to then
husbands long after the revolution
airy war, for they were only sever
years old mt the beginning of thi
century, and the war closed seven
teen years before that. The young
est revolutionary widow is Nancy
Green, an Indian, woman of sey
enty-one. She was born in 1919, anC
her husband must have been gray
haired when she married him.
