DEMOCRAT PENSION LEGISLA-
TON.

A Washington correspondent sends
the following under date of April %,
1892:
''The pension business is not booming
in the present house. It may be of some
interest to the..old soldiers to know some
OF the great progress in pension legisla-
ton so far in the do-nothing and anti
everything, business-like congress.
In the pension committee 532 private
pension bills are found, and in the COM
mittee on invalid pensions, 1,679 similar
bills. The pension committee has re-
ported fifty bills, and the committee on
invalid pensions eighty eight bills. This
covers the number of bills introduced in
the house and the work of the COM
mittees.
1t will be understood that the work
has Just commenced when a committee
has reported on a bill. The dangerous
period really commences when the bill
reaches the house the second time.
1t will probably be of interest to
know how many private pension bills
have passed the house. By unanimous
consent, three. This is all. Just three
up to date. This was by unanimous
consent, secured by a northern demo-
crat member who wanted to be able to
return to his district this fall and assure
his constituents that the democratic
party is a friend to the old soldier. But,
two of these three bills passed were in
favor of Mexican war veterans and the
remaining one in favor of fellow who
was injured in an Indian war. So far,
not one claim passed upon in the house
which concerned Union soldier who
assisted in the late unpleasantness. This
is the record so far.
This correspondent called at the COM
mittee rooms and secured the data from
the committee clerks. He was assured
that the present management of the
pension business in this house was not
going to start to the insane asylum
over the pension question. The last
congress was viciously referred to as ex-
travagant in this line, and the country
could feel safe now. Everything would
be looked into carefully.
Following this looked into carefully"
assurance, it may be well to inject some
more facts. The house is supposed tc
lay aside on Friday nights the great
questions intimately connected with the
salvation of the country and consider
pension cases only. 1t is referred to in
Boosting instructions that that great
house gives one evening in each and
every week to measure out solemn JUS
tice to the old soldiers. This is true,
but so far nothing but wind, buncombe
and hypocrisy has been measured out
Not single private pension bill has
passed at these night sessions 30 far.
It would certainly be refreshing to
the old soldiers of the country If they
could all have seats in the gallery and
witness one Of these night sessions The
old soldiers Of Kansas should have re-
served seats down in front. They would
no doubt witness with Joy and tears Of
gladness the monkey movements OF
simpson, who is in his element on such
occasions. On such occasions it 10 din

Farmers often take cold and it set
ties on their lungs, and finally develop.
into rheumatism without their know
ing why. The fact is that tie lungs
and kidneys are intimately connected.
No one can take cold and have it set
tie on the lungs without having it at
feet the kidneys. If person thus at
tackled, takes an opiate to dry up his
cough, his kidneys fail to perform
their work which is to take the uric
acid out of the blood. This acid final
ly attacks the joints and produces rheu-
n,atism. Or it attacks the muscles
and will produce rheumatism in al
most any part of the body. People
that are exposed to open air pursuits
are extremely liable to it. If person

them. Ned had not got his letter--for.
gotten and very much crumplcd it still
remained in Jimmie Nolan's pocket
and he would be quite surprised to see
him Then there was Il lively little
woman behind Mark Hazard and just
separated from him by two very
ic-appearing young gentlemen OF
the genus dude; a trim, polite figure
in brown travelling dress and nobby,
brown turban. She had a peculiarly
sunny smile and friendly twinkle of
eye.
One of the tall-collared young men
somehow dropped his cane and the
next moment she had slid up beside
Mark Hazard, as the cane was being
recovered. Then Ned Brownell espied
Mark Hazard, and exclaimed:
''It there isn't my chum!'
And his pretty charge cried:
''There's my little mother, and she is
nearly swallowed up by the crowd"
Mark Hazard looked down at his
side rs a musical voice greeted him:
''To think you and have been riding
all the afternoon on the same train
| and that neither knew that the other
was thcra," the little woman of the
brown travelling dress was rattling on.
| "Why," was all he could say.
| Then the little lady caught sight OF
| Ned and his al, 4-cis and she cried:
And there is Bee, my little daugh'
ter. | knew she would be here to well
come me!'
Mark Hazard was too taken abaclz tc
speak for moment, and he seemed
greatly puzzled as he caught sight OF
Ned and Ned's companion pressing to-
ward him. The young lady with Nee
was of a striking resemblance to the
merry companion at his right, whose
| tongue was going so fast he did nor
know what she was saying something
about: ''Bee being with the Lyon's;'
''Wrote you / would be here too;'' ''We
will have a splendid time!" and "Yol
will like her because she is like hel
mother"
But the truth soon dawned upon him
This young lady with Ned was the
daughter of whom he had been tolt
when he first met her mother at Jack
sonville.
1t had never occurred to him tina
she could be more than a schoolgirl
but then, his sweetheart's first unhapp,
