intellectual qualities, which have
won him an honored place among
musicians.
He studied at the Royal Acad-

"A few days ago Il man came to
Logan and registered himself at
one of the hotels as a Mr.. Erickson
or some such name, although his
appearance was dimly familiar to
some who thought they had seen
him before in the distant past, yet
he was not at the time identified.
He seemed to be Jew, and was
travelling as II salesman for Gin
cinnati wholesale liquor house.
He soon made the acquaintance of
several of our boys who at times
are inclined to indulge in little
games of chance. They, decoyed
him to a suitable place where
Il little game could be played. The
stranger seemed to know little, yet
was anxious to learn. He gradual
ly "caught on" and it was not long
before he acquired all the in
tricacies of the art. Several Of the
boys donated him sums of money
runging from $25 up. When he
quit he was about $3.50 ahead. The
boys began to make Inquiries.
They found he was not much of a
salesman after all, that he had
purchased his samples of whiskies
at Ed Prices, and had made no
sales. He would not sell less than
five barrels to any one person. He
was Lew Houck the we'll known
man Of tricks.

A Curious People.

The Dunkards, a branch of the
Baptists having d considerable men,
bership in the state of Pennsylvania,
held their annual assembly at Dixie,
Pa, recently. Some of the sessions
of the assembly were enlivened by
debates over several curious and i'm
portant questions of church govern
ment and discipline An effort was
made to reconcile the "elder" with
the younger" branch of the denomi-
nation, but failed because the latter
hold of Sunday schools, church enter
tainments and the like, which the
former regard as sinful. 1t was re-
solved by the assembly that the
preachers should wear the prescribed
costume and should cut off the hair
on top of the head but let it grow
behind. The question as to side
whiskers was left to the congrega-
tions, but the preachers are forbidden
to wear mOustaches as the custom
partakes too much of vanity. The
indulgence in candy and other luXur-
les, Sunday, was prohibited The
question of magic lanterns and pic
lures was also brought into consid-
Grafton. One of the bretheren de-
clared that he had destroyed all the
photographs of his deceased relatives
as the Bible forbids the worship of
images.
A committee was formed to inves-
tigate these questions in the Scrip
lures, and to report at the next
annual meeting. Secret societies were
condemned as the misbegotten off
spring of the devil, and life and fire
insurance as a sin against the law OF
God.

The Enemies of the Soldiers.

Every Bourbon in Washington
and every COpperhead throughout
the country is shrieking about the
pension frauds. The open sesame
to the favor of the Cleveland Admin
istration is supposed to be the dis
covery that some old soldier is get
ting 50 month when he ought. by
strict construction of the law, to
have only $2.75, or that the veteran
with the broken or palsied arm is
not entitled to any pension at all,
because he is able to grind d hand
organ with the hand that is not af-
ficted. Hoke Smith, the representa-
tive of the state in which Sherman
started on his magnificent march,
has ruled in substance that as long
as the disabled soldier is able to earn
a living he is not entitled to pen
sion. The living may be earned by
backing boots on the street corner,
or parading Broadway as an adver-
Using sandwich, or peddling shoe
laces; but as long as the soldier can
perform some labor there is no help
for him in the way of a pension, the
Georgia Secretary of the Interior
declares.
Hand in hand with the Southern
Bourbons in the assault on the vet
Grams are the men who were too cow
ardly ana the men who were too dis
loyal to do any fighting themselves.
These view the Union soldier with
equal jealousy and hate-iealousy of
his courage and hate because he has
disappointed their hopes and predic-
tions This class of critics is just
now largely in evidence. They claim
to be unearthing fraud when they are
simply gratifying their malice. Their
pretenses deceive nobody. The peo-
pie understand them and despise
them. The popular heart is with the
men who fought for the life of the
Republic. Patriotism is as strong as
ever in the ranks of real Americans,
and those who are counting on pop
ular sympathy in their attack upon
the Union veterans are only inviting
contempt and detestatiOn. - New

Col. Veazey on Pensions.

Col. Wheelock G. Veazey was one
OF the most popular and most re-
spected commander-in-chiefs that
the Grand Army of the Republic has
had in number of years, and what
he has to say in relation to the pen
sion list and the merits of the old
soldiers will have considerable weight
with thoughtful persons throughout
the country. Col. Veazey has con-
tributed to the Forum, which has
been publishing symposiums upon
the pension question, an able article
dealing with the subject upon the
broad principles of right and Justice.
Col. Veazey takes direct issue with
those who hold that the pension list
is unduly large and that the veterans
are overpaid. He says that he has
never favored pension legislation
based on the idea of compensation
for the service of the veterans; for
all the mines of the earth do not
contain sufficient gold and silver and
gems for that" He remembers the
pledges of the government, made at
the time when their services were
needed, and to him the contract be-
comes more sacred as the years pass.
The pledge of the government to
the soldiers was to the effect that
neither they nor those dependent
upon them should be allowed to suf-
fer from physical misfortunes and
distresses. This pledge, he believes,
will be kept. Some provision NAV
be necessary TO cure past or prevent
future frauds upon the law, but the
general provisions of the law will
never be narrowed. "If radical
changes occur they will be on the line
of even greater liberality, the same
as we have seen in behalf of the sur
viving soldiers of the Mexican war;
Col. VeaZey's position which is here
outlined is essentially round, and it
is one, we take it, that is held by in
common by the great body of Grand
Army veterans. None are more inter
ested than the old soldiers themselves
IN having the pension list kept troll
of honor. The veterans above all
Others are interested in preventing
frauds by and with the aid of the
pension laws. But the old soldiers
who are entitled to pensions do not
ask for money in the name of charity.
They demand their right and what
was promised them.
A government bond is by right held
to be one of the safest and best
securities, and in the matter of pen
sions as well as in other directions
our government can not afford to do
otherwise than to show that it's
word is as good as it's bond. 1t is
right to guard against fraud and to
remedy abuse, but the administration
which breaks the country's pledges
to it's veteran defenders will in turn
be rejected and cast out by the Amer
lean people, whose love of right and
justice is, and will be, as enduring as
time itself.

Weof Vermont ought to learn some
thing from Pennsylvania. The Penn
sylvania Legislature has passed a
compulsory education bill, and has
enacted that textbooks shall be free
in all the public schools in the State.
The demand of the Knights of Labor
that the last bars shall be removed
which keep the children of the poor
est from the public schools, doubtless
influenced the vote in the Legislature
on the free textbook bill. The House
of Representatives of the same State
has passed a graduated Inheritance
tax bill. with a rate rising from one
to five per cent, according to the size
of the estate. Estates under $4,000
are exempt. The vote by which this
bill was carried was log to 43. Penn
sylvania has been considered the
most conservative of Northern States
but these three measures would make
a pretty good weeks record for any
Legislature in the far West.-St.

INDUSTRY AND PROsPERITY.-The
Mennonite farmers from Russia who
settled in Manitoba eighteen years
ago, and were given a start in life
through loan of 800, 400, advanced
by the Canadian government, have
now paid the last dollar of the loan,
and also the full interest charge,
amounting to $33 1886 more-total,
$130, 1856. These farmers were in
vited to come to Canada by agents
sent to Russia by the government.
The first who came brought sufficient
money with them, but those who
came later needed assistance, and
the loan from the government was
obtained through the pledging of
their farms by the thrifty Mennonite
settlers already on the ground
These people have not been called
upon to aid in the liquidation of the
loan, the direct beneficiaries having
paid their own debts. The Mennon-
ties are otherwise known as Russian
Presbyterians. They have demon
strated that prosperity can be at
tanned even in Canada by thrift and
hard work.

One of the greatest actors the
world has ever known passed away
in the death of Edwin Booth, which
occurred in New York last week
With him the stage was not a
pastime or a make-shift, but a pro-
fession worthy of the best effort that
man is capable of, He was a man of
high order of intellect, a student and
a scholar Few men in any profess
sion worked harder than he did !;
none worked more conscientiously.
He was heightened, of great dignity
of manner and of character; of pure
and blameless life, and he made his
name honored throughout the world.
