During President CIeveland's admin
~istration he has vetoed of private pen
sion bills 1879; bills failed for want of
signature, SIS. And for this he is called
the enemy Of the Union soldier-a
strange way to show his enmity. Had
he desired to show his opposition to
pensioning soldiers how much better
he could have done it by vetoing the
1884 and allowing the 1919 to pass.
Now, fellow citizens of North Caro-
lima, is it any wonder that the famous
Billion Dollar Congress" Republi
CAM that came in just after Cleveland
went out, made such a reckless ex-
penditure of the peoples money for
pensions? Cleveland set the example.
Gentlemen when you read the pratings
OF democratic papers or speakers about
the pension plank" or about Gen.
Weaver being friendly to the ex Union
soldiers, just draw the above figures
on them. 1t will be a good idea to
preserve this paper and read the
figures often. Preserve them anyhow
This is not the first time the editor
of the Observer has jumped on the
editor of the Waterman with both
feet. 1t is not the first time We have
mOpped the earth with him. If he
wants to continue the game we are
ready. The ''Old man" of this ere
form organ" is always loaded. In the
meantime II the people of North Caro-
lima want to vote for the champion
pension grabber on earth and one of
the most selfish Wall street maniDu-
latOrs, a man who has done nothing
for the public, but much against it. a
man who while Presidentaof the United
States, Tin name, but was only presi-
dent of New York City and a few
thousand ex- Union so'diers.) you can
find him. "Grover Cleveland" is his
name Salisbury Waterman.

BY a thorough examination of the
above official figures it will be seen that
the World is correct when it asserts
that Cleveland was nearly 100 per cent.
more friendly to ex-Union soldiers than
his Republican predecessors in office,
for the number of names added and
the amount paid was at least Is per
cent greater. During the last three
years of Arthur's administration SO, 428
names were added to the pension roll.
During the last three years of Cleve-
lands administration 1O4, 875. Thar
nowI' Col. Observer, come down and
take a back seat If you are disposed
to be fair you will admit that the
Waterman didn't lie, but, as the off
cial figures show, was telling great big
gobs of truth.
The World also gives the figures to
prove that Cleveland approved nearly
tuCice as many priUGte pension bills as
either Grant, Hayes or Arthur, as fol
lows:

lines that official reports show that
Cleveland's administration
nearly double the number of certificates

the number issued" by any
other President. Now, Mr. Observer,
this is not from a reform organ" as
you truthfully, bui ironically, style the
Alliance papers, but from Cleveland's
own mouthpiece, and, it may be, at
his suggestion. The entire evidence

THE m,KINLEY TARTFF.

The new Mckinley tariff is actually get.
ting praise from democratic quarters.
There are 842 articles in the new tariff law
Of these the duties on 100 were reduced.
On eighty of these articles the duties were
changed from ad valorem to specific, be-
cause experience has shown that ad yalorem
duties invite fraud upon the revenue and
operate unfairly to the honest merchant
and importer. There are 249 articles In the
new law on which duties are identical with
those under the previous law. Upon what
articles are the duties increased? Fortv-
eight were upon agricultural products.
forty-three upon wool and its products.
twenty-four upon fax and its products
Forty per cent. of the increases was for
the better protection Of farm products
Twenty-eight of the increases were upon
champagne, wine and spirits, five on to-
bacco, one on opium, three on silk. Duties
were increased upon liquors, champagne

Professor Henderson will be compelled to

Mexico is sadly in need of just such ma

The Professional Beggar.

The professional beggar must be a
man of some ability and he requires
years of study and practice to make the
occupation profitable. He must be a
man of some originality. for the Amer
lean people prefer variety even in the
tales of woe told by the street beggars
The men who achieve success in the
business are proud of their profession
and rather enjoy being caught now and
then. No part of the city is free from
the frauds who are collecting the living
they claim the world owes them. They
visit every block and probably every
house from the Battery to the Harlem
river
During the day they work among the
fashionable residences up town and the
wholesale districts down town. In the
evening they swarm along upper Broad
way, mingling with the throng of well
dressed theater goers and promenaders.
1t is there they reap their richest har-
vest from the out of town people. who
are seeing the sights and have usually
seen enough of them at that hour to
feel as though they would be glad to

Wanting and Getting.

1t has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then Il falling off; a few
faint efforts. and then despair-this is
the usual story Of attempts to 'get any
thing" whether it be IA physical, mental
or spiritual good. But to long for a
thing so strongly that for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition. ignore discourage
ment and work persistently and through
years of trial and obscurity toward the
fulhllment of a hope-is not this the rec.
ord of all grand achievements and the
history of all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
If people We're willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac.
ity for hard work.
1t was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeat.
ed. By and by he could not be defeated.
A little OF the same spirit infused into
ordinary life work would make many Il
dream possible that now seems to the
wistful dreamer as extravagant as the
cloudiest castle in Spain. -Harper's Ba.
