That Pension Claim.

The REPUBLICAN believes as
strongly to-day AS ever that the
resolution of the late Democratic
County Convention favoring pen
sions to Union soldiers was merely
a sop thrown out with the hope
that some Union soldier of Demo-
cratic proclivities might be held to
his wavering faith in the Demo-
cratic party. But when the Demo-
crat has the effrontery to charge that
this administration, through Mr..
McKaig, is active in allowing pen
sions to old soldiers to an extent
that favors of prodigality; with sur
rounding these veterans with all
the Injuries of life and rendering
their declining years happy and
free from care by reason of Demo-
cratic liberality towards them and
then cites in support of its asser.
ton the case of an old soldier of
Oakland district who only last week
"received pension worth having
not such as the Republicans have
been Saving their henchmen with,
but one that places the recipient in
comfortable circumstances, besides
giving him liberal allowance each
month-and all this by a Demo-
cratic administration, and through
the distinguished efforts of our
worthy representative Zen. Nc
Kaig," we say in the interest of
truth, and in order that the people
OF the county or those who read the
Democrat, that it is time they knew
the length to which the Democrat
will 60 in its effort to make political
capital.
We have investigated the case re-
ferred to and have been furnished
with facts relative to the same by
the pensloner himself, Mr.. John II.
Bowers, a gentleman of standing in
this community and man who en-
joys the confidence of his neighbors
and friends, and in order to show
how misleading the statements of
the Democrat were we give the fol-
lowing truths In 1882 Mr.. Bowers
filed his claim for pension; on the
9th day of April, 1891, his claim
was placed on the completed file;
on the 4th DAY of Septem Der, 1898,
his pension was allowed at the rate
of 81 per month from 1882 to 1889:
at the rate Of 81 per month from
1889 to 1892, and from 1898 to the
present time at the rate Of So per
month. The total amount of back
pay under these ratings allowed was
S367. Mr.. Bowers also saws that he
never had any communication with
Mr.. Mckaig on the subject of his
pension claim and that he is salts
fied that Mr.. McKaig never knew
that be had filed claim foi pen
sion or that Mr.. McKaig even knew
that there was such a man in ex-
istence as John T. Bowers.
In view of these facts we fear that
the Democrat VIII not be so anxious
the next time to invite The REpUB-
LlCAN to the test Of the truth of its
statements about pension matters
and the efforts Of Mr.. McKaig in
behalf Of the old soldiers.
The deliberate attempt was made
to create the impression that small
fortune had been received by Mr..
Bowers. The facts show otherwise.
Stripped of all useless verbage,
the Democrat. we believe, wilfuIly
undertook to mislead the public.
Caught in its nefarious scheme we
leave it to mediate over the wrong
it attempted to perpetrate upon the
people of Garrett county.

A Campaign of SANDER.

The Mountain Democrat, with it's
famous effrontery, evading all 49,
sues directly before the people, ap-
parently ignorant of questions of
vital Importance to the public, but
of little moment to Its party man
agement, such, for instance as the
stagnation of business, closing of
manufactures, low price of farm
products because the usual custo-
mer can no longer earn money
wherewith to buy, and many ques-
tons of like Importance in bad
shape, the result of the ascendancy
of the Democratic party, because of
the Democrats inability to explain
away the bad condition of affairs
under Democratic rule, or offer any
excuse or explanation therefor, set
ties down to the good, simple, old
fashioned Democratic policy of
lying about its opponents. This
plan has an advantage on the score
OF simplicity; if you have no solid
argument with which to meet your
adversary, to lie about him is the
only thing left.
In the issue of the Democrat of
October 10 the charge was made
that "lncompetency, extravaganza
and disregard of the law marked
every step of the career Of the pres
ent Republican board" Now this
is lie, pure and simple, and at
the same time sample of the Demo-
Gratis respectable journalism. All
members of the present board of
County Commissioners are gentle
men, held in high esteem and re-
spect wherever known by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike (always
reserying and excepting the editors
of the Democrat, who apparently re,
spect nobody or anything.)
If the Board of County Commits
sioners disregarded the law they are
liable to punishment. viii the
Democrat prosecute them? 1t has
made the charge and as 1t has on
several occasions had the hardihood
and cheek to assert that all things
contained in Its columns were true
now is the accepted time for it to
prove its assertions or forever here
after hold its peace. Who else be-
sides the Democrat believes this rot,
and may We ask does the Democrat
believe it? If the commissioners
are guilty of any wrong land we be-
lieve they are not) the wrong was
unintentional. If they had stolen
d sum it Is impossible to determine
how much the Democrat would have
considered respectable steal or abb

A Remarkable Confession


In order to justify his own con-
duct, Senator German, the chief
helmsman of the Democratic party
IN Congress, made some remarkable
admissions in his statement of Sat
urday last. He was constrained to
give the Republican party the credit
of securing the repeal of the Silver
Purchase law re declarhd that
the Democratic party is "hopelessly
divided on this question" so that
the Republican party controlled the
situation. Speaking of his own
party, Senator German said: "We
are compelled to take the terms
offered by the Senator from Ohio.
He held the key of the situation.
You have dictated the terms to us. :"
Those terms are simply the pas.

cordance with the terms of

lican party is still the mainstay OF

An instance of perseverance and I'M
daunted courage is that shown in the life
of Marvin Clark, the blind journalist,
who is one of New York's most active
workers. Under calamitous circumstan-
ces he has been both heroic and cheerful.
Five years ago he lost his sight, having
been newspaper writer for thirty years.
AS soon as he found he was hOpelessly
blind, he taught himself the typewriter.
The papers are read to him daily, and
this enables him to still keep leading
place in his profession.

Love At First sight.

From the Biggs, Cal, Argus.
Last winter d. w. Little, one of the
adobe farmers west of town, shot into a
band of geese. A white gander was
struck and had one wing broken. Mr..
Little took the goose home and gave him
to his boys, who doctored his wing, and
he soon became so tame as to follow the
boys wherever they went, eat from their
hands, and even poke his head into their
pockets for corn or wheat. A few days
ago band of wild geese flying over the
premises and making their usual clatter
attracted the attention of the domesti-
Gated gander, which gave an outlandish
display of quacking and shrill yells in
goose language that had most startling
effect with the band flying past.
A fine white goose was seen to leave
the band and shoot down until it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and the
meeting was demonstrative TO an excit-
ing degree. Their antics afforded as
much fun for the boys who witnessed
the meeting as they could have found at
circus. The new arrival refuses to
leave, but will fly over the fence when
the two are approached by the boys, and
then fly back to its mate when the boys
step aside

Thee OK rean,

Beneath the lazy sky,
And crawl contented through the land
And let the world go by

An nervous impulse smother
And ponder long before he puts

And men with spanking teams pass by
And dash upon their way,
AS if it were their hope to find
The worlds end in day.
And men dash by in palace cars,
On me dark frowns they cast,
As the lightning driven Present frowns
Upon the slow old Past
What do they chase, these men ofsteam,
Their smoke-hags wide unfmled,
Pulled by the roaring tire-fiend
That shakes the reeling world?
What do We seek, we men of steam,
So wild and mad you press!
Is this is this the railroad line
That leads to happiness?
And when you've swept across the day
And dashed across the night

Where no red signals stream,
