Cleveland and Pensions-

Tho Third party howlers have been
driven to desperate measures In sew
eral Of the Southern States, and their
speakers have laid hold on many
things that seemed 70 them bonanzas
in the political field, but the most
absurd position we have seen taken
by any Of them Ia the assertion that
under Cleveland's administration
greater inroads upon the ma
tional treasury we're made on
the plausible pension pretext
than any other. To characterize
as false statement 30 ground
less, would be TO fall short Of the
truth. AS specimen OF active men
dacity 1t is unparalleled, and the
effrontery Of those who use 1t Is as
matchless as the ignorance upon
which they propose to employ 1t. It
Is fact that Grover Cleveland vetoed
the dependent pension bill, and this
should be remembered by every man
who read a newspaper about the
time the act was committed. The
step on the part OF Mr.. Cleveland was
one that called for courage, for the
bill was one that inspired hope In the
hearts Of those who look upon the
public treasury as their Legitimate
prey. The bill itself was scandalous
bid for votes; 1t was an impudent
perversion Of public funds to personal
ends. Mr.. Cleveland saw all this,
and instead OF trying to curry favor
with the soldier vote Of the North by
aflixing his signature to the bill, he
cast 1t from him with degree OF
scorn that Its corruption 80 well mer-
tied. These fellows who are making
the charges alluded to In the outset
forget that the official figures are yet
ON record. In the three years o!
Harrison's administration there have
been already granted over two hun
bred and seventy-five thousand
pensions. During Cleveland's ad-
ministration there were less
than two hundred thousand
pensions granted. In the third
year alone OF Harrison's regime 1885,
4S8 pensions were granted, many OF
them fraudulent, In the name Of pa.
triotism. This was over four fiftbc
as many as were granted during Mr..
Cleveland's entire administration.
The amount OF money represented
by these depredations on the public
treasury Is enormous. 1t will soon
pass two hundred millions per an
mum, II a check is not put on them.
The annual contributions Of the South
to this gigantic public waste In over
fifty millions. This Is very heavy
burden for the taxpayers OF the
South to bear, and yet there are men
who will jump up and clap their
hands when Mcdowell or some OF his
gang tell them that Cleveland wasted
the public money In pensions, and
that Weaver, who plundered the peo-
pie OF Tennessee during the war, Is
the peer OF any man in the race. So
long as men listen to such hypocrits,
taking what they say as authentic,
and voting with and for them, SO
long will they see their homes plas-
tered over with mortgages and their
wheat selling in the markets at sixty
cents per bushel. These men are In
the swim for the money there is In II,
and they have as little regard for the
the truth as they have for the welfare
OF their fellow men.

How They view That Resolution.


Congressman. Cox, of Tennessee, in
an interview criticising the action of
the alliance presidents and the resolu-
ton adopted by them in Washington a
few days ago, says:
THE resolu ion shows duplicity on
its face, fn-one breath it says they
viii affiliate with no party or parties, :
and asks every party to take them I'M
der it's fold Now, the, democratic
party is never going to fEdorse the
Ocala platform as it stands, noINsHAl
the republican party. The peoples
party, so called, has already in
dorsed the Ocala demands, and If the
alliance means to throw its strength
to the party that indorses its peculiar
views and demands, the main ones of
which are sub-treasury and land-loan
schemes, both clearly at variance with
the theory of this government and
sound political economy, why then
those already in the peoples party
platform are so far as those demands
will ever get any sort of party indorse-
ment. Nine-tenths of my constituents
are agriculturalists. and am in full
sympathy with them in their just griev-
ances, but no d-mocrat, who under
stands the principles of this govern
ment, can ever indorse the chimerical
ideas of the extreme alliance leaders.

The past few days of mild weather together
with the recent copious rains, have caused the
wheat to commence growing, and the wheat
fields to assume a much greener appearance,
while the present evenly distributed snow is
very beneficial to the crop. The farmer is very
well satisfied with the present outlook for
good average yield of wheat.
There is not much ground left to plant
corn in this valley as usual.
The trees planted in the fall are generally
in good condition at present. Trees planted
last fall have heen injured more by the depre-
dations of rabbits than by any other cause
There are but few honey bees kept in this
valley, and understand that what are kept
here are wintering reasonably well. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that Bookkeeping in this coun.
ty is not, and has not, been profitable. but be-
lieve 1t might be made profitable in a few years
if farmers who contemplate planting large
groves of trees, should plant varieties of trees
adapted to the interests of Bookkeeping; or, in
other words, such trees as produce honey. For
the benefit of such farmers as might take this
matter into consideration / will say, that the
only obstacle to bee keeping in Barber county
is the scarcity of honey-yielding plants and
| trees. A few people have notion that the
winds here are hindrance, but the winds are
! but slight hindraHce here more than in other
| countries and if bees had plenty of honey
| yielding bloom to work on they would do well.
| would recommend farmers to plant largely OF
| American linden or Eastwood, Japan catalpa
sourwood, tulip or whitewood, sometimes call
| ed yellow poplar, black locust, etc.. which yield
| honey largely. OF these which / have men
| toned perhaps the two first are the best, be
| cause they bloom late in the season. The tuliI
| tree is also good tree for lumber. OF frui
trees the apple tree yields the most honey
| Bees do best here in the spring months and il
June, but after the middle of July there Il
scarcely any plant in bloom that yields hone!
and hacs cen do nothing but remain in thei
hives and consume their stores. Unfortunate
by most of the trees heretofore planted are o
very little use to bees. The cottonwood tre
and the common hardy catalpa tree may b.
useful trees for some purposes, but they do no
afford any pasture for the honey bee. TIL
| white ash tree yields some honey and is a YER
valuable tree for lumber. The black walnu
is very valuable for lumber, but is a poor ire
for bees, yielding but very little honey.
might mention many other trees and shrubs a
useful for honey. such as the common dos
wood, varieties of wild cherry, yellow-wood
raspberry, blackberry, etc. JASON.
