DENCE.

WASHINGTON, July, 2S, 1898.
The number Of pensioners sus-
pended since the 4, of last March is
between 5000 and 6,oOo, and fthere
is no interference by Congress it is es-
timated by Pension Office officials
that 1906 out of the $4,000 pen
sions granted under the law Of 1890
generally known as "the dependent
pension" act will be suspended before
the examination now going on is con
cluded. Whether Congress as a body
will take this matter up is somewhat
doubtful, but individual Congressman
have taken it up and are making a
big fuss about it, saying that gross in
justice is being done their constituents
by the examining board. The pro-
testing Congressman represent all
shades of political opinion.
A sensation followed the publica-
ton this week, in calpaper, which
although claiming to be independent
is generally known as an administra-
ton sheet, of a New York special
charging Secretary Lamont with be-
traying the anti-snappers and counting
ing Tammany for the purpose of pro-
tecting the Whitney street railway in
terests, of which he was encharge be.
fore he entered the cabinet, and Of
furtherlng his own lately developed
ambition to become governor of New
York. 1t was understood here to be
a very broad hint to Mr.. Cleveland
that he must choose between Tam
many and the anti-snappers.
Mr.. Cleveland will return to Wash
ington some time next week, but fol
some unaccountable reason those who
know prefer to surround his coming
with mystery and decline to say wha
day he will be here, although it is no
clear to ordinary perception what diff
efence it can possibly make to any
body what day he arrives, as j
has already been given out tina
he will see no callers until after Con
gress meets. But perhaps it is Mrs
Cleveland that makes the day of hi
arrival uncertain. He would very
naturally desire to be at Gray Cable
when certain expected event take
place. If that is the case why no
say so. 1t is simply nonsense to sur
round the movements of the Presiden
or any other official in this countr,
with Russian mystery. Votes are tn
only weapons they have to fear il
America.

EDITORIAL.
What the Editor Thinks OF
Matters Of Interest to the
People of the County.
LEONARD 9 GODDARD; eO'ror.
WHAT ARE THE FRUITS?

Read the general news columns OF
the TINES this week and see some
thing of the effect at the present I'M
certainty as to what the party lnpow-
er will do with tariff. Read there
the many reductions in wages, failure
in banks and other business enter
prises. These are actual, cold facts
and not manufactured campaign
thunder.
After reading these stop and think
a moment. Did you attend any
Democratic speeches just before the
election? Did you read the Demo
cratic papers? Do you remember the
predictions that we're made concern
ing our prosperity provided the Dem
ocratic party was placed in power?
Increase of exports, greater business
activity, raise of wages, higher price
for farm products and unequaled
prosperity. These were among the
promises.
Our imports are greatly in excess OF
our exports; we will admit that there
is great activity among business en-
terprises, but it is the same class OF
activity that is created in community
by the cholera; raise Of wages? look
at the reductions; farm products?
cheaper now than for many
years; where is the man that will
say he is now blessed with un,
equaled prosperity? All this and De
mocracy has only been in power five
months.
1t was said that the country had
such unbounded confidence IN Mr..
Cleveland that these good things
would commense to happen as soon
as the change was made. The people
would become satisfied and everything
would begin to look up. 1t was not
going to take six months, year, or
any time at all for the Democratic
party to bring prosperity, Now how
different the talk. They are asking
for time and say all this will happen
in the future. We gave them what
they asked for last fall and they have
deceived us and failed in their part OF
the program and we can not do other
wise than believe they will deceive us
again. If the Democratic party
could be tried before the hlghes
court in the land they would easily be
convicted of obtaining what they have
bv false pretense and by fraud.

WHAT is the best policy tor the
Government at present? Should ii
try to decrease the already low price
of silver or should it try to support it
By its present action it is doing all ii
can to lower the price. The director
of Mint haggles over cent or two
in buying the monthly supply as much
as an old women does over the price
of piece of calico. 1t seems as
though it would be best for the gov
eminent to uphold the price of silver
for the metal will of necessity have to
be continued as money and it is hard
enough to keep it on par with gold
with the backing of the government
let alone having the government try
ing to make it still lower. Even if ii
is not to be used as money we have a
large amount on hand and the price
should be kept up so that the govern.
ment need not lose so much when it
sells to other nations. The Manufact.
urer reports Senator Teller, of Colo
RADIO, as saying that his "pottering
about for job lots of silver is contemp
tible an inexcusable," in a great Gov,
eminent like the United States. Il
seems to US as though he is entirely
right in his assertion.

IT is a queer position in which
some of the papers of the state are
placing themselves. They have adj
vocated the mob in case of rape and
urged that immediate justice should
be enacted upon the human brute.
Following this theory a mob took out
of jail, hung, and burnt a negro for
such an outrage and the sheriff did
not try to stop the proceedings. And
now these same papers are condemn
ing the sheriff and he has been sus-
pended from Office. What we can't
understand is this: If it is right for a
mob to be formed for such a cause,
why is it not right for the sheriff to
submit and deliver up his prisoners
The officer is just as much human as
any one else. He wants to see the
fellow punished, The papers have
argued that such mobs are right and
have convinced the officer that they
are, and he follows that theory. Why
is it that he has to be most bitterly
condemned by these very papersi
Really this is such fine point that i
is hard for the average mind to see
Commend the mob for doing such
things, but condemn the officer fol

THE men who will fight the adopt
ion of a cloture rule in the House are
the silver men, and the result of the
vote on this will indicate almost to a
certainty how the House Will vote on
the Silver question, The Democratic
leaders are going to try to force the
adoption of such rule. 1t will be
no violation of tradition or precedent
for the House to adopt such rule.
There will no doubt be a hard and
bitter fight AGAINST it.

WHEN Col. Ainsworth, who is IN
charge Of the Record and Pension di-
vision of the War department, which
occupied Forld's old Theater at the
time of the collapse of its floors
and the killing Of a score Of clerks,
was found guilty by the corners jury
of criminal negligence in connection
with these deaths it was supposed that
he would be suspended from duty,
but he was not, nor has he been sus-
pended since the grand jury formally
indicted him and three others for
manslaughter. He must have a big
"pull" with the administration to hold
his position under such circumstan-
Ces.

JUDGE LONG, of Michigan was
badly shot to pieces during the war of
the rebellion and has been receiving
$72 per month. General Black Of
Chicago, another brave officer, was
badly smashed and has been receiv-
ing 500 per month. Both were de
serving men and both entitled to
their pensions. But Hoke Smith
found that Judge Long was Repuh-
lican and he stopped his pension at
once. General Black as yet has re
ceived no notice. Will his politics
save him?-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A DEMOCRATIC tariff for revenue of
cents will raise the price of a Darrell
of sugar six dollars. Talk about a
taxed breakfast table! We are of the
opinion that such move would be a
long stride in that direction. Wonder
if the many thousands Of poor men
who buy sugar are ready for such a
move.

THE Democrats must do something
and that. Immediately after the extra
session meets. The country is in no
position to stand demagoging tricks
and Tom-foolery. They must get to.

out and not "dilly-dally" about their
policy as though they were not sure
ofits effect on the country. They
will have to have a good policy that
will restore confidence and give re

need Of them having one.

The country does not want state
banks, to get an increase Of money
They would be better satisfied with
an increase of circulation equal to the
face value Of the National bank bonds,
instead of circulation of 90 per cent
which is all a National bank is al
lowed at present. This would great
ly increase the amount and at the
same time not make it cheap,

JUDGE HENRY r. GIBSON came out
in a manly open letter in Sundays
Journal denying the charges of the
corrupt ring that has been ruling this
Congressional district for so long.
He tells where he was when the war
broke out and where he served.
Such charges being brought as they
were to mislead the people will create
many new friends for the Judge and
make his old ones stronger. We will
give some points made by the Judge
in our next issue.

THE Knoxville Republican is right
for once when it says the TINES
does not like to see things done that
will cause a row in the party. Al
though we have been "cussed" by the
ring enough to make most anyone re-
bel and work for a row, yet after the
differences have been settled, by con-
vention or primary, our voice has al
ways been for unity and harmony.
We do not suppose that the Republi-
can meant to compliment us SO highly,
but it has done it and told the truth.

When the rays of old Sol are boiling down at q
ninety degree rate the air like the breath of fur
nace and everything hot. dry. and dusty the
natural desire of the average human is to drink.
But what to drink there's the question.
The serious effect of an over indulgence in ice
water is well known The thousand and one cheap
gassy beverages are known to be more or less in
furious to the health, while the mineral waters of
known purity and heathfnlness a luxury be-
yond the reach of but few. What shall we drink?

of all, be absolutely pure and non-alcoholic. II
should possess a medicinal element to oounteraot

yeseent Last but not least, It must be economical
and within the reach of ALL A beverage that fully
meets all of the above requirements and that is
entitled to more than passing mention Is Hires
Rooibeer, manufactured by the Chas. z. Hires Co.,
Of Philadelphia. This preparation has been ana

by them to be free from any deleterious substance
and absolutely non- lcoholic; while all physicians
acknowledge its health-giving qualities. 1t has q
delicious, appszing flavor. Is full of snap SPARKLE

The first flag used by the rebels was the
well-known "Stars and Bars" shown below.
This flag was never formally adopted by the
Confederate Congress, though it foated over
tho hall in which that body sat. and was every
where accepted as the banner Of the so called
Southern Confederacy.

Rhubarb. or pie-plant, IS it is more common

Rhubarb, or pie-plant, as it is more commonly
called, is quite a valuable crop for the home
table and also for the market garden. The
beds should be changed to new ground every
four years. as the rhubarb becomes worthless If
kept on one piece of ground. In removing the
plant the large roots are divided and three
buds left TO each piece. Although one bud or
eye is all that is necessary to insure its growth,
it is best to leave three. as the plant will grow
more rapidly. The plants are set at distance of
three by four, with the crown of the plant COW
cred with three inches of earth.
