TROfICAL sr0RM.



You can hardly realize the scene of
desolaiiou that is found in the sepul-
ehral gloom Of the forests, but when
the storm king resides ia the air above
aud every tree seems starting from its
sepulchral stiffness in mad dance,
aud there i a mad massing AMI war
ring and rushing through the foliage
shades, and the woods bow their heads
in agonized grief, try how you may
YOU cannot help sympathizng with
the scene. II is awful aud horrible to
hear al those sounds in the pitch
black night, when the tornado descends
on the forests and the elements are
accompanied with all their terrors aud
preceded by the binding brands of
lightning and the eaunonade of the
thunder. and the whole camp is blaze
Of binding light. 1t is far more
trighIful when The rain pours over the
desOlate scene in drowning showers.
You can understand now what effect
such experiences of tempest and rain
and darkness had upon the minds Of
our people who knew not where this
endless march was leading as the days
grew into weeks aud the weeks into
long months. and not soul could en-
Tighten them ss to the possible limits
of this demon world. All this added
TO continuous pain from hunger, mis-
cry and sickness, and the duh pangs of
sorrow as they tossed their dead conn
panions into the dark river in the alb
sence of all hope in the future. Gsunt
famine smoie them deal by the scores;
their limbs were ravagcd by rabid
ulcers, the stagnant atmosphere poison
ing them with its breath, ants and
ticks creeping over their bodies, fierce
savages jumping upon them when
ieebly crawling after the caravan, with
dagger or spears; ruthless pygmIes
lying behind trees shooting their
barbed arrows into their bodies; and
canuibals attacking them as they gath
cred over their evening fire. Death
cut our people Off with revolving
trcachery, and sudden as lightning
stroke.
Finally after 100 days of marching
wo emerged from the forests, aud our
eyes danced with rapture as we behcld
the bright-glancing green of frcsu
young grass, sparkling like emeralds
aud looked on lowery fields aud pas
tured slopes, dipping into valos and
rising into pillows of herbage. AS W,
beheld the scene our thoughts wer,
full Of gratitude and praise. Our mer
then turned once more to look on tha
dark forest, with its memories of dc
pressing days OF bitterness, Its dream
Of terror and It's soaking atmosphere
aud called It hell; while they smiled
at the blushlng glory of the grass lant
and called II heaven. Indeed no great
or contrast could be imagined.

PENSIONS.

The pension outlook continues to
grow worse and worse. Early in the
day, 1t was evident that the amount
needed for pensions would far exceed
the estimates made on the floor Of
Congress. Each day, the deficiency
grows larger, and 1t is now plain that
the Republican estimates ofthe amount
that would be required by the depen-
dent bill were fraudulently low.
Since July l, the large sum of $64,-
100000 has been drawn out of the
treasury for pensions, $is,000,000 be-
ing drawn this month. On this basis,
tho expenditures for the year will run
between $4,000, 900 and $3.50, 900.
These expenditures, however, are
steadily increasing, and there Is now
no reason to hope that the total will
fall as low as $150,000,000. A mini
mum estimate Is S17s,0o0,000, and
some calculations run as high as $780,
100000, leaving deficiency Of $50,
100000 on the appropriation made by
Congress. 1t is the greatest steal OF
any century -Times-Democrat.
IN. Y. Herald.1
at now appears that even the Com
missioners' estimate is too low. From
information received to-day 1t is likely
that the deficiency will reach $4,000
900. This means $Id0,000,000 instead
of $135,OOO,O00 this year for pensions
1t means more than 100000, 900 next
year for pensions. II means bank.
rupt Treasury aud an impaired
national credit even sooner than the
Herald had predicted. 1t means that
Congress must come at once to the
relief of the overburdened Govern
ment aud either repeal some of these
unnecessary pension laws or provide
additional taxation for their payment
As the Herald says, editorially, 9Th.
bill Is merely the shadow of that solid
substance Of oppression which is In
the near future. The Mckinley bill
forces us 10 pay tax on the window
glass through which the sun shines, OF
the drugs prescribed by the physician
for our sick and on the very cofflns II
which our dead are buried. But when
this pension Legislation has reached 1T
climax, taxation will run riot, and, o
course, fall with Its heaviest weight oi
tho wage-earner."
This Is an appalling showing aud
going beyond oil reasonable and prop
er recognitions Of pension obligation
1t marks a great crime in Legisls
tion. No country--not even the vas
American Republican prosper un
der such load of annuity. When th'
American people-at last aroused
have righted the tariff wrong and re
lieved the country Of the crushing
ruin to the farmer aud all mechanics
industrial classes of the Republica
protective robbery, then 1t behoove
them to thoroughly overhaul and fail
ly adjust the pension Legislation Q
that party. This, like the tariff re
form, is a cause in which the Mort
must lead.

PLANT TREES NOW.

Some American, as well as trans-At-

full adornment of their shade trees, and
II Is an admitted fact that no town or
village In this State, Is without an ex-
cuse for not having any number, and

sations OF nature. suppose our little
square had been surrounded with

Now Is tho time for putting out these

how much could our private residences

tention TO this little matter, and I
will make you love your homes the
more, and add some real value to every
one of them.

memorial received from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union was
adopted:
Resolved, That the good deeply de-

have so largely prevailed in our land
and we heartily sympathize with every
legitimate aud judicious effort to check

ministers and church sessions renewed

with the subject,
Resolved, That the political aspect
of the temperance question does not
fall within the province of our body
as a church court aud that we are
therefore not at liberty to recommend
any particular course of legislation re-
speeding the matter to the civil gov
