Commissioner Lochren of the Pension
Bureau has issued an order modifying
the practice of the Office as to suspension
of pensions. The most important change
is that which directs that hereafter there
will be no suspension except in cases
where the record shows on its face that
the soldier was not entitled to any PEN
sion whatever. In speaking of this new
order, Commissioner LOchreR said: "The
Secretary of the Interior has for some
time questioned the fairness of the old
practice of the Pension Bureau which
suspended pensions during inquiry as to
the right of pensioner to the pension
rate he was receiving. At his request
the whole matter had been carefully con-
sidered, and the present order modifying
that practice, so as not to suspend in
doubtful cases, has been agreed to as
more equitable. During the progress of
the examination of cases under the Act
of June 9th, 1890, larger number of
pensioners were found liable to suspen-
sion under the old practice than had
been anticipated, and cases were found
where persons have been suspended
whose disabilities have increased since
the date of being pensioned, and who are
now entitled to remain on the rolls. In
every instance, as soon as these cases
were called to the attention of the bureau
the correction was promptly made, but it
was feared that the suspension might
work hardship by preventing the pay
ment of pensions to those who. at the
present time Were legally entitled to the
same, though they were not at the time
the pension was granted"

A movement is on foot to establish
what an exchange calls "a Populist par
adise," in the West. A special despatch
from Topeka, Kansas, of the first says:
The Bellamv Colony Company, which
promises to found cooperative town in
the Cherokee strip, was chartered yes
terday. The company is having num-
ber of apartment houses built in sections.
AS soon as the strip is opened they will
be rushed in and put up in hurry.
Everything possible to demonstrate Bel
lamy's plan as outlined in Looking
Backward will be done. No one will be
permitted to buy property in the town
without joining the company. The food
for all people in the town will be cooked
in one kitchen, and it will be served in
one monster dining-room. There are
800 or 400 persons in the company, and
they declare themselves Populists and
propose to carry the banner of the Peo-
ple's party into that new territory"
This idea will be watched with interest
by many people.

That the doctrine of Protection is the
true one fer America receives testimony
from an unexpected quarter. The Rev.
DIR. D. Parker Morgan Of the Church of
the Heavenly Rest, New York City, who
has Just returned from vacation trip to
his old home in Wales, said Saturday;
'fWhen l saw the agricultural distress
that prevails in England, and knowing
what 1 do of the distress which exists in
this country, felt that if 1 were a
farmer 1 would almost as soon cut off nay
right hand as vote to do away with the
principle of Protection, whichIis the bed
rock of American prosperity quite as
much to the farmers as to the manufac-
turers and to those who earn wages in
mills" This is quoted approvingly by
the Democratic Troy Press, which, by
the way, is Democratic paper with a
Protection editorial page.

YERMONT's BISHOP -ELECT.

By concurrent vote of the clerical
and lay delegates, the Rev. A. @. A.
Hall, D. D., was nominated for bishop
of Vermont, at the convention last week.
The nomination now goes to the Bish-
ops and Standing committees for con-
firmation, and if DIR. Hall accepts and is
elected, then conservation follows.
Meantime the secular press has more or
less to say. The comments from church
circles is probably voiced by the Brattle-
bOro Reformer in these words: 'The
election of Rev. DIR. Hall as bishop of the
Vermont Episcopal diocese is especially
gratifying to the members of the church
in this section of the State. Leading
members of the church in this vicinity
have labored to this end, but never
stepped beyond the bonds of propriety,
as was done by some over-zealous work
ers for other candidates. Those who
know DR.. Hall best aver that he will be
found no narrow adherent of small fac
ton, but broadminded and progressive
exemplar and guide, such as is needed
for the life and growth OF the Protestant
Episcopal church in Vermont"
AS our local church, st. Peters, was
uniV in its support of DIR. Hall, what is
said, above, applies with equal force to
Bennington.
The Free Press of Saturday had an edi-
torial, which was in substance repeated
in Burlington correspondence to the
Troy Budget, which undertook to stir up
matters on the "bigh, ritualistic lines"
We believe this will deceive no one. DR..
Hall was one of the late Bishop Brooks's
most trusted lieutenants, and man who
could work with DR.. Brooks will hardly
be the cause Of antagonism in Vermont,
however pronounced his churchmrnship.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan are three
historical characters in connection with
the putting down of the Rebellion. In
like parallel lines do we find the large
circle of Episcopa. churches in and about
Boston founded by DR.. Brooks, DR.. Hall
and the rector of Old st. Paups. DR..
Brooks made an admirable bishop, why
not DIR. Hallp We think the choice a
wise one.

There was a miraculous escape from
railroad horror on the Bennington
and Rutland railroad at Q o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Train wreckers weakened the cov-
cred bridge known as Childs' bridge,
between Walingford and South WAL
lingford. and it fell to the river bed as
the north-bound night express cleared
the sinking structure, running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour. The last car
was partly wrecked, but no lives were
lost and no one was injured. The train
consisted of six cars, mail car. bag
gage car, smoker, one coach and two
sleeperS.
Supt. Bennett and other went promptly
to the scene, and on their arrival the
cause of the wreck was quickly dis
covered. In furtherance of aplot to pre-
cipitate the train with its precious load
of humanity to the creek bottom the
bridge had been so weakened by taking
off the nuts of the bolts on which the
bridge platform rests that nothing but
the high to of speed at which the train
was running and the excellent condition
of the track prevented the accomplish
ment of the horrible design.
There were about 35 passengers on the
train, and their escape from horrible
death was little short of miraculous.
Trains were delayed only for day, and
are running as usual. Supt. Bennett,
of the road, promptly offers a reward OF
$500, for the apprehension of the rascals.

The High school prepares students for

to college without examination. The
standard of scholarship is high and
every effort will be made to keep it SO.
The school offers exceptional advan-

who wish to prepare for college, for
teaching or for business. The rates of
tuition are low, and cheap living may be
easily obtained in various places in the

Nothing can be substituted for
the Royal Baking Powder
and give as good results.

No other leavening agent will make such
light, sweet, delicious, wholesome food.
If some grocers urge another baking pow
der upon you, it is because of the greater
profit upon it This ofitselfis evidence ofthe
superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder,
and to cost less it must be made with cheaper
and inferior materials, and thus, though selling
for the same, give less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most whole

Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you.
