can alliance men who will not; and
that is what brings on his great kick.

the staunchest democrats going, and

their long fight against great odds.

SERMONS TO VETERANS.
Posts Henry Wilson and Van HOuten
at Church.

Every seat in the Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church on York street was oc-
cupied last night, and standing room
was at a premium. The altar was taste
fully decorated with flowers, and in the
front rows sat the members of Henry
Wilson Post G.. A. r. who had come to
hear a memorial service by the Rev. John
Krantz. pastor Of the church. An elabor-
ate musical programme was well rem
dered. aud the service was enjoyed
throughout by everyone.
In addressing the veterans and eonQre-
cation, the pastor said:-'We have three
great national holidays, viz:-Decoration
Day, Whsshington's birthday and July
A. Any one of those days represents the
sacrifices which patriotism has placed on
the altar Of our country. and such hero
ism as these days revive must be pre-
served in our memory in order to show
that we appreciate the price OF liberty.
II nation wants patriots In the time Of
war 1t must cultivate patriotism in times
Of peace"
The pastor spoke at length upon the
time when a mere lad he was at Camp
Butler. aud seeing the solaiers excited
and anxious to serve their country he
formed a love for them which be still
bears them. He deplored the s.ingratitude
OF narrow minded politicians who would
begrudge old veterans the niggardly PEN
sion they are receiving at the present
time, TO make the last days OF the broken
down soldiers life more comfortable.

"of the abuse Of pension claims. yet en-
phatically hold that the country, rich and
grand as it is. should rather make the
mistake OF paying out too much to pen
sion claimants than Of defrauding one old
soldier or his widow OF what should be
theirs.
'If the Nation desires to be so economi-
cal it had better begin by cutting of
needless extravagance In some OF the
higher departments where unnecessary
offices are created and more money
wasted by politicians for their purposes
than would be needed to support every
soldier that shouldered gun

You veterans have been the nations de-
liverers in war and you should never for

ers in time Of peace.

''I'm not opposed to Governor Abbett's
election. do not, in fact, expect to take

no part in State politics at all since my

Cleveland's methods while he was at the
head of the nation, were not popular with
the Democratic masses of New Jersey.
Many Democrats also doubted the pro-
priety of Mr.. Cleveland's attitude on the
tariff when he wrote his last message to
Congress. Without going into the merits
of the tariff issue, l believe that the policy
of springing it at that time was question
