Pension the School Teachers.

julius Schuetze in "TeXan Nor-
warts" says upon the subject of
teachers Convention" among
other sharp criticisms: Another
improvement in the vocation Of a
teacher must be created and that
is a pension. After many years of
hard labor in pedagogic science,
and at old age, the teacher who
has battled in his school against
ignorance and creates generations
into reasoning moral citizens is
even more entitled to pension
than the soldier who has slain
men in battles for years, who had
never harmed him.

Another Addition.

West End has another addition,
in the opening Of a saloon and
dance hall. The proprietor or
lessee Mr.. August Ortiz, possesses
grit to open up out there in face OF
the fact that the Sam Jones-Stew-
art Temperance Society has its
headquarters in this suburb also.
The formal opening was held
Saturday night, with dance, and
a free lunch-and free beer set-up
by the enterprising rustlers for
the City Brewery. The enjoyment
lasted until after midnight. The
was unwound by an able
bodied Tueton, from an Italian
hand organ, and the boys and girls
had lots of fun dancing to the tune
of ,'Chippy get your hair cut" etc.

They Hoped at West End.

The Mexican Social club, gave
a pleasant dance at the Lake pa
vilion Saturday night. The floor
was slick, the weather was cool,
and the music was by one of the
best Mexican string bands, and a
social time was much enjoyed by
those present. Our space forbids
the mention of names of all the
pretty young ladies. Among the

in the progress of Consumption, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a positive remedy. Even in the
most advanced cases, it gives COM
fort and relief; and where other
medicines only relieve, this will
] cure.
But delay is dangerous, with Con-
sumption. In all the conditions
that lead to it, the Discovery is
the remedy. With severe, lingering
Coughs or Weak Lungs, nothing
acts SO promptly. Every disease
that can be reached through the
blood yields to this medicine. The
Scrofulous affection of the lungs
that's called Consumption is one Of
them. For this, and for every other
form of Scrofula, for all blood-taints
and disorders, and all chronic Bron-
chial, Throat, and Lung affections,
the Discovery" is the only remedy
so certain that it can be guaranteed.
If it ever fails to benefit or cure,
you have your money back.
Can anything else be lust as
good" for you to buy?
Don't believe it.

THE OLD COLONY

The name New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is too long to
 write and too long to speak. This has long been fels, and 50 people have fallen into the habit of writing and talking about the Consolidated Railroad company. This name Is easier 10 deal with than the real name, and it hss the advantage of being descriptive of the process by which the present great system has been formed. But it Is in no way descriptive of the system. And while the old name has been, 1t is so no longer. We notice that sug- gestions concerning new name for the road arc being made. One is that 1t be called the New England Southern. This is good, but not exactly or adequately descriptive. And if things continue to happen at the present rate of happening, New England Northern or New England Central might be just as appropriate as Nsw England Southern.
 We think that the Old Colony would be as good nems for the whole system as any, if any change ia to be made. It Is eesy to speak and write, full of history and romance, appropriate, and correctly and adequately descriptive. Un der this name the roads empire could be extended all over New England without straining the name or making 1t unfit. New England is distinguished for its old colonial record. Why shouldn't the chief railroad system in it bs called the Old COlony9

LOSS OF CONFIDENCE

It IS telegraphed from Washington that sspirants for office under the Cleveland administration have had their confidence as 10 the value of a record shaken by the selection of Judge Gresham for Secretary of State. We should think they would. And we should think there would be vail ing and gnashing of teeth among all the Democrats whose proudest boast last fall was "I am Democrat" What were they Democrats fora Why did they go about with the badge of pure Democracy pinned on their coats or glowing on their nosess Why did they talk so long and loud iu ''grocery storess' Why did they attend mass meetings, and take pains to "holler" when they were expected toa Why did they weary themselves "procesh- ing" and bearing the fariDg and stinkiug torchlights Why did they deprive them selves of needed sleeps Why did they work themselves up to look On their Re publican neighbors and fellow citizens az enemies of the countrys And why, the fight being over, did they feel such joy, and, in many cases, get 50 drunk? Did they do all these things for the benefit of the Mugwump! Did they really love him and really believe in victory for the Mug wump only, as well as in tariff for reve- nue onlya
 We trow not. They have been taken in and done for. They have sowed for the MugwuUp to reap. They have 6ddled for the Mugwump to dance, and in this case those who dance don't have to pay. The Mugwump Is all right. He Is roosting high and feeding on the fat of the land Nothing is too good for him. He is invited in to take eeat at the table, while the d-time, dyed -in-the wool Dem ocrats must etay outside with Lazarus. Loss of confidence! No wonder.

 A student of comparative politics points out the fact that the government of the United States is among the oldest of civil ized governments now existing in the
 world, since most European countries
 have been to considerable degree revo-

 republic, the present German empire, and
 the Italian kingdom considered as political
 entities, are but youngsters beside the
 century-old American republic.

Silent Love.

On through the world We go, army marching,
 With listening ears, Each longing, signing for the heavenly music
 He never hears; Each longing, signing for a word of comfort,
 A word of tender praise, A word of love- to cheer the endless journey
 Of earth's hard, busy days. They love US and We know it. this sufices
 For reasons share. Why should they pause to give that love exp-es- sion
 With gentle carer Why should they pause: But still our hearts are aching
 With all the grawing pain or hungry love that longs 10 hear the music,
 And longs and longs in vaiu. We love them and hey know it if we falter
 With fingers numb, Among the unused strings Of loves expression
 The notes are dumb. We shrink within ourselves in yoiceless sorrow.
 Leaving the words unsaid, And side by side with those we love the dearest,
 In silence on we tread.
