In reply to the argument that an ap.

acquittal, DR.. Birch said that this was
equivalent to claim that part OF the
church was greater than the whole.

The Guilty Man Went,

Langston was not the only man who received
a pardon at the hands of Gov. Stewart on odd
grounds, says the Kansas City Times Proctor
lucky, was MissOurian in the 500. He was
Gov Stewards attorney general. Knott tells a
story OF Stewart. which, although very old
is declared by him TO have had its origin
just as he states it. One day, so Knott relates
the pair were walking through the penitent iary
on sort of inspection tour. Prisoners were
then permitted to approach the governor in
person and plead with him for executive
clemency. AS the officials passed through the
corridors Stewart asked one after another OF
the convIcts about his case,
II am here" said one, "for murder never
committed"
"And I'm in,' said another, for attem ptin
TO kill when it was clear case of self.defense. "
I'm innocent. too governor" said another
II never stole thing in my life"
Gov. Stewart asked hundreds of questions
but every convict declared his innocence and
begged for pardon. At length, just before
leaving the prison, the executive met young
fellow carrying a load of some sort Of prison
product. The convict saluted respectfully
and was passing on, when the governor stopped
him.
"What are you here fors" he asked
''For stealing horses, your excellency, d" was
the ready reply.
But of course, your are innocent" the gov
ernor went on. winking at Gen. Knott.
''Of course I'm nothin' of the sort" said the
prisoner. II stole 'em and I've got three years
to do yet"
Well said Gov Stewart, you will be par
doned tomorrow. am sorry that it will be
necessary for you, guilty. bad man, to remain
here even another night with all these innocent
gentlemen. You will contaminate them. "
The truthful young horse thief was free the
next day, and oddly enough, he became an
honest, valuable citizen.

A Fight for Pension Reform.

The impression is growing stronger in
Washington that something has got TO he
done soon 10 step the increase in the pension
burden. This burden is increasing at the
rate Of millions OF dollars a year. 1t is now
much greater than the people can carry
with comfort.
The fight made by Representative O'Nel.
Of Massachusetts, in the subcommittee of
the appropriations committee on Wednes-
day for pension reforms that would save the
country between $40, 600, 900 and $50, 900
a year, indicates clearly that the time is
close at hand when congressman will not be
afraid 70 take a firm stand in favor not only
Of thoroughly investigating the pension
roll, but also Of stopping the pensions of all
who do not deserve them.
Heretofore congressman have been afraid
10 speak their minds about pensionA They
were afraid they would incur the hostility
OF the grand army men and lose their votes.
But since some of the most prominent Of
the ex-soldiers have come out openly against
paying pensions to those who have no
rightful claim 70 them congressman have
begun to talk more boldly in favor of pen
sion reform.
Nothing viii be done in this congress
toward reducing the pension burden, but
something is likely TO be done by the next
congress. There will be many who will be
ready TO follow the course marked out by
Representative O'Neil. Where there is
one congressman in this congress willing to
vote for pension reducing measures there
will be a dozen in the next congress With a
bankrupted treasury among the possibilities
of the near future the necessity for limiting
the outflow from the treasury for pensions
becomes 80 imperative that even the most

And though the first game have seen

First came the Yales all dressed in blue,
Then Harvard came IN red,
One fellow yelled; the rest all tried
To jump upon his head.
And then one fellow stopped aud stopped,
And all the rest got round
And every fellow topped and stopped,
And locke hard at the ground.
And then another fellow yelled,
And each mau where he stood.
Just nit and struck and knocked and kicked
At every one he could.
And then one fell upon his neck
And all the others ran.

Leaped every blessed man.

Senator Irbv's Convers,on.

South Caroiina's junior senator, Mr.. Irby,
may not have what the Hon. Joseph Brown
calls judgement, but it must be admitted
that when he finds he has made a mistake
he is prompt 10 acknowledge it. During the
campaign that preceded the national demo-
cratic convention he was about as lively an
opponent Of the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land as there was in South Carolina. He
was firmly convinced, apparently, that Mr..
Cleveland was not friend of the farmers
and could not be elected IL nominated. It
is probable that he would not like tobave
some Of the things be said about MIR. Cleve-
land repeated.
Senator Irby called upon Mr.. Cleveland q
few days ago and had an hours talk with
him. He had never before seen him. The
change which took place In his views re-
specting the President-elect was almost
marvellous. He became a most devoted ad-
mirer Of Mr.. Cleveland. All the way back
TO Washington he could not help saying to
those of his acquaintance whom he met: 81
have. just come from an interview with
Grover Cleveland. He Is the greatest man
in the Democratic party. What donkey 1
have all along been"
And it is certain that the senator's con-
version is genuine. He is not talking now
with the hope that he will be permitted to
control some Of the federal patronage of his
state. All Of which goes to show that very
many men talk great deal more than is
good for them about matters Of which they
know little or nothing. 1t is pity that
more of them do not find out what donkeys
