by the Secretary of the Interior Hon.
lHoke smith. and the new com mission
ler. w. IL. Lochren. on the pensioners
lof this country is considered by the
members OF this department as a great
injustice.
First. Because every pensloner has
proved his disability according to the

Second. Because they have passed

boards OF physicians appointed by the
government to examine into their
physical condition and who have
recommended him for the pension he

Story Of Their Use ~ Related by the Big

1.-THE way you Chicago people look at

Colonel John Phillips"
The speaker was q large, hairy man,
with big SLOUGH hat and q voice evil

properties Of the prair 9 than the smok-

as he glanced around and saw every man
in the room looking toward him, some
smiling, some scowling.

had the hairy giant on the string for a

Mrs. j. Frank Ball returned home
last night after q four months stay at
the Worlds Fair as one of Delaware's
Commissioners She enjoys perfect
health but has grown somewhat tired
OF the fair.
Since her stay In the White City she
has made the acquaintance OF Mrs.
Theresa L. Cope, who Ia Queen Vic.
toria's personal representative at the
Fair. She was greatly pleased with
the Delaware building. Mrs. Ball was
extremely disappointed at the slight
representation OF this State In the ex-
hibits at the fair.
Delaware has no exhibit In pomology,
horticulture or in forestry. If Della.
ware Is strong in anything 1t is strong
In these branches and yet there Is no
display there from them. Neither did
she find any school exhibit represent
Ing this State.
Delaware might just as we'll I've
eighty leagues under the sea as far as
her exhibits are concerned. The West
ern States and others of the Eastern
States took advantage OF the oppor
tunity to make full exhibits In depart
ments In which they have largo pro
ducts. Thus New Jersey showed hei
berries and kept the exhibit in good
condition. The Western States MAKE
fine showing in the fruit departments
California Is especially striking In this
regard.
Delaware is also put to shame by
her far'away ueighbur5 of other
countries, Australia sent fruit to the
fair which, although tifty.ilve days or
the way. was in line condition nine
days after 1t was put on exhibition
Apples were thus displayed without
sign of decay.
: Without attempting to fix the blam'
for Delaware'S poor showing In the
: great departments, Mrs. Bail says i
was continual source of regret Il
her.
Mrs. Ball has taken much interest Ii
tho exhibits OF the woman's building
Beside needle work the Delaware va
men are represented By eight books
written by them and in the library

A question that is now being dis

present adm in istration, in the cases Of
pensioners, review, revise and null
lily the acts OF their predecessors,
simply for the reason that In their
opinion the construction OF the law
was too liberal? Had Grover Cleve.
land been President in 1890, this law
would never have been passed, unless
it had been passed over his veto, but
fortunately for the country, man
presided over the affairs of the nation
who was a Union soldier himself; a
man who, when the storm of battle
broke upon the country, took up
arms in Its defense without waiting to
be drafted, and then hiring a substi-
tute and allowing him to die in a
county almshouse afterwards. There
is no doubt but Grover Cleveland
would have vetoed the act, but as the
act was passed. what right has any
member OF the administration to re-
view or revise the acts of his prode
cessors? No one but Congress has the
right to do that, but the spectacle is
presented OF the Secretary of the In
