John Parkhill, of Portland, who has
made himself famous as being the only
man in the United States who did not
want a pension, passed through Astoria
on his way to San Francisco to the vol.
unteer firemen's reunion. Mr.. ParkhiIl,
who is owe 80 years of age, served
through the Seminole war in Florida in
1888, and also in the Mexican war.
He was one of the handful of from
-tiersmen who raised a company to fight
the Mexicans before the United States
took the matter in hand, and afterward
served all through the war. He refused
to enter the War Of the Rebellion be-
cause he thought it was too much like
fighting brothers.
For years pension agents have made
life a burden to him in their endeavors
to secure a pension for him. He fought
them manfully for a long time, as he
said he was able to make his living.
Finally the papers came and with them
his back pension, and it has been com
ing ever since, actually forced on him
against his will.-Astoria (OreO Column

intelligence that the department at
Washington would not take any action

recently passed by congress. Director
Leech explains that he is so busily en-

for some months that the matter of
changing the models md designs of coins
cannot be taken up until late in the

The trouble about the Irish rent ques-
ton is that the Irish people generally
consider a rent contract as having no
moral obligation. The truth has been
handed down from generation to gem
Grafton that their ancestors were wrong
fully dispossessed of their lands, and
that the title of the large landlords,
while legally perfect enough, is in its
last analysis based upon robbery. The
rent is therefore considered not so much
a pecuniary burden Is a patriotic griev-
ance.
With ~forefathers it was not the
price Of the tea. but the principle Of the
tea tax, that led to the revolution, and
in like manner, as the Irishman looks at
it. the rent is not so much II financial as
a political question, though when the
crops fail payment of the rent is an i'm
possibility. To the extent of considering
it a political question the English gov
eminent agrees with him, and hence the
recent arrests. If pounds and pence
only were involved it would have left
the landlord to take care of himself. -
