President Harrison and Pensions.

The Democratic literary bureau,
along with its ~villitication of Pension
Commissioner Raum, is disseminating
an assertion that President Cleveland
approved a greater number of pension
bills than President Harrison has done.
The Forty Ninth and Nftieth Con-
crosses passed 2,042 private pension
bills. OF these 297 were vetoed either
by message or by pocketing, and 227
became laws by lapse of time without
his approval, so hat he approved only
1913 of them.
The last Republican Congress passed
l,3T7 private pension bills, every one of
which received President Harrison
approval and became a law. But then
came in the present Democratic Con-
gress with its overwhelming Southern
control ON the Democratic side. As a
result there were weeks following
weeks when no private pension bill
could even obtain consideration in the
House, to say nothing of being passed.
No quorum could be mustered in a
House with a Democratic majority of
14O to consider bills to pension old
soldiers. 1t was only on the last
private bill night of the session that
the House, in a panic at the pension
record it would have to go before the
country with, shoveled 1915 bills into
the hopper and approved them in $50
minutes. But, with all this reckless
haste to make a record, the first session
of the Fifty Second Congress enacted
only 1873 private pension bills. These
became laws with President Harrison 8
approval. Compare this 1873 bills with
the $40 of the first session of the Fifty
first Congress or ever with the TAT bills
which became laws at the first session
of the Democratic Fiitieth Congress,
and it is seen who is to blame for the
apparently fewer number of bills APP
proved by President Harrison. Yet,
unless the second session of this more
than-a. billion-dollar Congress makes
the number of worthy pension bills
less than ten, President Harrison will
still have approved more private pen
sion bills than did President Cleveland
in his full term.
These facts are stated because the
Democrats seem insistent about figures.
The figures seem superfluous when the
unfeeling popularity with which Cleve-
land dwelt upon the injuries to old
soldiersin his pension vetoes is recalled.
In his veto of the Total Disability Pen
sion act of the Forty Ninth Congress,
Cleveland struck at hundreds of thous-
ands of pensioners who never obtained
their rights until President Harrison
signed the Dependent Pension bill
passed by the Republican Fifty First
Congress.
The other day President Harrison at
tended a soldiers reunion at Malone up
in the mountain region of New York.
Here is the way he closed the little
speech he made:
And now, comrades of the Grand
Army of the Republic, surviving vet
Grams of that gallant band that from
these mountains and valleys went out
to defend the flag, l give you a com
rade's greeting today. God bless you,
every one. God forgive the heartless-
ness of that American in this bright
day of prosperity and unity who can
begrudge to any one of you the just
dues of your hard service"

In Cowboy Land.

A Fourth of July scene at Wichita
Falls Tex. is thus described:
The hottest ana funniest place on the
grounds was the dancing pavilion. A can
vas cover was stretched just overhead.
When some tall cowboy in the excess of
his patriotism, put an extra inch ON his
spring his hat scraped the cover. The floor,
which was of rough boards in the morn
ing was polished before noon by thousand
shuflles. In u corner the orchestra, with a
strangely solemn face and downcast eyes,
sat on the spring seat of farm wagon and
drew from a violin such strains as might
put action into u cork leg. But the star of
the pavilion combination was the caller.
He was mild hammered gentleman named
Granger, whose fexibility of voice was
equaled by his originality of expression.
Sometimes he chanted, sometimes he de-
claimed, and sometimes he let his voice
follow the music. He was a master of
ceremonies, too, who had learned his pro-
fession. The cowboys would side up to
him and say
"Mister, can't we have little dancer
We came sixty miles for this thing"
"Don't you know anybody here, Granger
would ask
"Not livin soul 'cept just the boys"
they would affirm with more or less en-
phasis.
"E2ckon r.ebbe kin fix you," the mas
ter would say refectively. Then he would
cross yer 10 where the buxom daughters
of the grain farmers were shocked up
along the side of the platform. Pretty
soon he would return, and with "Come
this way" he would lead the cowboys, one
at time, across the platform. The farm
er's daughter would bow prettily, and the
big white hat. Then new couple would
join those on the floor. Occasionally a
cowboy would intrust his hat to friend,
but this seldom happened. The girls
didn't mind, and hats were worn as a rule.

aged America. 1t is to the small boy the
Christmas of the summer season, and at
the booming of the earliest gun he jumps
out of bed with the same alacrity that the
house dog displays while flying into the
cellar to be out of the danger that he fan
cies is n out to consume him like the thirst
that follows a feast of Goldfish balls.
The noise Of this day Is a grand epic OF
melody, and it is music that strikes
responsive chord in the soul of every true
American and makes him feel proud and
happy from his boot heels to his straw hat.
1t is melody that sets the American
spirit dancing, and is sufficiently subtle
In its wild bowling gladness to make a
stuffed eagle scream for joy, and to cause
crop of ripping ringlets to suddenly
spring into blossom on the cranial apex of
the bald eagle.
Ever dear to the smallboy who lives in Toledo,
Ever dear to the smallboy who lives In Po-
dunk,

And the odorous scent of the slow burning

for the occasion with the same anxiety and

for war with a foreign power. He has

THE ONLY CREATURES WHO FEEL RELIEVED
WHEN THE FOURTH IS OVER.
illuminate the ebon vault of night. 1t
makes the boy sad to feel that the Fourth
is slipping away from him. Even il there
Is to be baseball match in the afternoon,
ut which he may discharge firecrackers, he
doesn't want the time of the game to ar
rive too soon. But when the game is over
the small boy feels that he still has the
fireworks to live for. And he is on the
scene before the twilight has faded, sadly
faded, like a twenty-five cent sky blue
bathing suit
And he smiles q sweet smile full Of sunshine,
From the pinwheel to see the stars fly,
And he signs as the big Roman candle
Pops purple ball into the sky.
He's as glad when the Kissing skyrocket
Goes a-scooting aloft DER the land,
As he is when he enters the circus
At the very first toot of the band.
There Is one individual whom the small
boy cannot understand, and that indi-
vidual is the man whose chief desire Is to
get off into some remote, quiet, sleepy
place upon that festive day upon which
the song of the firecracker is heard In the
land. Such man will always remain an
unsolved enigma to the small boy, who
will also continue to regard him as some
thing supernatural; as flying from the
glorious Fourth strikes his youthful fancy
as being only worthy of an Englishman.
As rule the Irishnlan is very fond of the
Fourth Of July, as 1t gives him an ample
opportunity to express his sentiments rela-
tive to everything English, from loud
checked clothing to mutton pies. The
only creatures who experience feelings OF
relief when the Fourth Is over are the in
surance man, the house dog, and the cat.
1t is difficult to say which Is the most wor-
ried of these on the Fourth-the insur-
ance man In the bosom of his family, the
dog IN the bosom of the cellar, or the cat In
the bosom Of the garrek

Made Room for Him.

In Pennsylvania village on Fourth Of
July, many years ago, certain eloquent
member OF congress was delivering an
grafton. He had rehearsed at some length
the virtues and achievements of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, and had
taken up the subject of the greatness of
Washington. Working up to the full
height of his eloquence, he asked.
"In what place shall we put the peerless
man Of Mt. Vernon Shall we put him
among the kings of earthp No; for he
scorned thei- titlel
"Shall we put him among the soldiersf
No; for he was much more than soldier.
''Shall we put him among the states
menf No; for the simplicity of his lofty
genius rose superior to the devices of
statecraft
'In what place, then, shall we put him
this peerless man''-
Just then Sandy Mcdowell, Scotch
man, whose acquaintance with American
history was possibly not much greater than
his liking for American oratory, rose from
his seat in the midst of the audience

DETROlT'S DRIVING CLUB.
Blue Ribbon Meeting.

Prolific as was last year of sport
on the trotting turf, the ensuing sea-
son promises to be still more so.
The great California stables are all
on this side of the Rockies, except
Gov. Stanford's string.
Marcus DAILY, Count Valensin,
Monroe Salisbury, Mr.. Corbet and
Orrin Hickock have each great sta
bles, the very creme-de-la-creme of
CALIFORNIA; equine society. They
have travelled several thousand miles
to throw down the gauntlet to the
trotters and PAGERS on this side of
the "Slope," a def which will doubt
less be cheerfuily accepted. But,
when such. well-known "Knights of
the Sulky" as Hickock, "Johnnie"
Goldsmith, George Starr, "Jimmy"
Dustin and candy" Mcdowell are
out for the stuff, it means business
for any who may chance to be en-
tered against them. Monroe SAILS
bury's successes for the past two
seasons have been proverbial. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not he
has as sure graft on the money as
on former occasions. If the Cali
fornia contingent do not find "foe-
men worthy of their steel" among
our eastern and western stables, some
of the horsemen of this country will
have to do a tall amount of walking
unless provided with return tickets.
The BLUE RIBBON meeting of the
DETROIT DRIVING CLUB is sure to at
tract great field of horses this year
The Californians. have never over
looked one of these meetings in their
journeys to the east, and they are not
likely to do so, this season. 1t is
confidently expected that when the
time comes for opening the entries
to the various stakes and purses, July
4th, to be contested for during the
summer meeting of the Club, July
18th, 10Th, Goth, 21st and 22nd,
it will be found that not only Cali
fornia, but the best stables from
"Maine to Georgia" will be repre-
Sented.
