SIGNIFICANT

The election OF John Palmcr,of New
York, to be commander-in-chief Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic means
more than such elections generally do.
Ordinarily that election is the vehicle
by which the veterans assembled in
annual national convention confer
upon one OF their number distin-
gushing honor and a great deal of
work, with considerable expense to
him during his incumbency. The
election Of Captain Palmer is sgnit-
cant Of the feeling Of the large mass
Of the ex-soldiers who are not profess
sional veterans, and who are possessed
Of more patriotism than cupidity.
In the national encampment that
was held last August at Boston this
writer had the honor of being a mem
Der of the committee on resolutions.
There were twenty or twenty-five
members, being one from each de-
partment, and the departments are
composed of one or more states, sew
eral Of the Southern states having
none and other states and territories
frequently being formed in one de-
partment, as for instance Colorado and
Wyoming, Washington and Alaska,
etc. On the committee in Boston
we're many distinguished persons, ex-
Vice-President Hamlin, General Ho-
vey, Of Indiana, General Burdette, Of
Washington City, and Captain John
Palmer, OF New York. being Of the
number. The committee contained
two factions, one of these was OPP
posed to wholesale and indiscrimi.
nate pensions, such as would have hCCn
authorized by the service" pension
bill, the other favored this bill. The
candidates for chairman of the com
mittee were Captain Palmer, who OPP
posed the bill, and General Huvey, who
championed IT, The issue was made
in the committee on this election, and
Captain Palmer was easily chosen, and
In the election the writer was a parti.
san Of Palmer, taking the position
that the pension laws, as they then
existed, were sufficiently sweeping, as
under the last pension law passed by
congress, the dependent" pension bill
every ex-soldier, who could, by any pos
sible means, be fairly entitled to "a pen
sion, could get it, while in the nature Of
things, many would get pensions
under il who should be too manly Il
take them.
This matter was fully canvassed IL
the committee on resolutions, and
resolution antagonistlc to the "ser
vice" pension bill was drawn up ant
adopted by a majority OF the commit
tee. A minority report was made
however, fayoring the service" pen
sion, and this minority report wa
adopted by the encampment on tn
day OF the adjournment. 1t was a
that time plain enough, however, tina
the "seryice" pension delegates-w

A lot of vegetarians held convention
recently in London, and during the SEES
sions a number of hymns appropriate tc
the vegetarian cult were sung. Here Is 9
bit from one of these hymns;
The wheatmeal bread for infants,
1t should be finely ground;
No particle be larger than
pins head small and round.
The staff OF life Is wheatmeal bread,
For peasant, prince and peer;
And children who on IL are fed
VIII have the best of cheer
Hurrahi hurrahl hurrahl my boys,
For good old wheatmeal bread:
The children will grow fat and fair
II on IL they are fed.

In England a constable has lately
been tried for swearing falsely about
a young girls character, and though
1t was plain that he had slandered the
girl he was acquitted by jury. There
are many places in this country where
ne would have been tried by jury of
the girls brothers, cousins, uncies,
father or other male friends and he
would have been tried with rawhide,
far more satisfactory style of iudica-
ture in such cases.

The patent reformer is doing great
business these days on paper. When
the patent reformer runs afoul of the
professional politician the former is
swallowed up body, boots and breeches.
The patent reformer is loud and vain
glorious during the intermissions be-
tween presidential elections, but when
the grand struggle comes, he backs up
for the party harness with the celebrity
OF the meancst partisan. The patent
reformer has a backbone of macaroni
and the independence of spring
chicken lost from the brood.

say Of the Cherokee Colony aud Townsite

&C. w Dowdell of the Cherokee Colony
and TOWNSHIP company, who, from the
dispatches. was supposed TO be anguish
ing in durance lie at Poaea, l. T., arrived

nAGe1E PALMER IN IA1L

The silk worm girl, Miss Maggie Palmer,
is ''in it' at Topeka-that is she is in the
cooler, for after two days telegraphing she
failed to find friend who would go bail
for her. The eggs which she had been
selling were analized and found to be
nothing moro nor less than mustard seed.
Maggie, while here, got religion and tried
to be admitted, By conversion, into the
Catholic church. When the time came to
be admitted Father Then investigated her
character aud her claims to become a
Catholic, but found that the church could
get along splendidly without her and re-
fused her admission or rather baptism.
Recent events in general, and the mustard
seed scheme in particular, demonstrates
the wisdom of the priest in refusing her
into fellowship with the church.
