A REPUBLICAN ON PENSIONS.

Gen. II. V. Boynton, an old line Re-
publican radical and entitled by service
and position in the Union army to
speak for the veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic, enters protest
against the revelation of the charter OF
Noah M. Farnham Post, New York
for the passage of resolutions demand.
ing publication of the pension rolls
and says:
The reputation and honor of the
Grand Army of the Republic are now
at stake in this matter. BY the action
of its highest officers it has been com
mitted to the remarkable proposition
that e. A. II. posts shall not openly dis,
cuss and uphold pension reform. 1t IL
idle to make answer to this charge by
pleading technicalities. The Grand
Army now owes it to itself to support
a searching examination of the pension
rolls. When this is done not only
the Grand Army, but the whole country
can be relied upon to insist that none
but unworthy CASES shall be dropped
from the roll of honor.
Under the present widespread belief
the pension roll cannot be fully re.es
tablished as a roll Of honor until such
investigation has been thoroughly and
honestly made. And when the country
is satisfied that the roll is worthy one
and OF until then will the feeling pass
away that pension expenditure Is In
considerable part an unjust burden
Republicans, and especially Republican
veterans, have high duty to perform
in this matter. To neglect 1t will be 8

THE SHERMAN SILVER LAW.

The New York World has taken the
views of all members of the present
Congress who will talk of all parties,
on the Sherman silver law. Some
members could not be reached, but
enough we're heard from to indicate
that there is a clear majority in favor
of repeal. AS this Sherman law $50
called) is the product of the leading
financiers of the Republican party, and
as it was enacted by the Republican
party in Congress, as the sum and sub
stance of the financial wisdom of that
party 1t is quite amazing to note that
almost every Republican in the present
Congress is in favor of its repeal.
OF the Ohio congressman who tele-
graphed the World their views on the
silver question, the income tax and
the repeal of the state bank tax, the
following from Congressman Ikirt will
be read with interest:

rather than on sugar. Five millions on
the former and twelve or fifteen on the
latter could be received annually to the
relief OF the farmer and wage. worker

BOOTH AND LINCOLN.

A gentleman relates an incident to
the Pittsburg Dispatch of how Edwin
Booth saved the life of Robert Lincoln.
1t was in 1887 and both gentlemen were
waiting for train. Robert Lincoln
grew impatient and was walking along
the track, in an absent minded manner
and paid no heed to locomotive back
ing up the track from water tank.
Mr.. Booth stepped forward, and clutch
ing him by the arm, lifted him almost
bodily upon the platform. So near
was the engine that it struck the mans
heels as they left the track. 1t hap
pened that Mr.. Ford, in whose
theater at Washington President
Lincoln was assassinated by Mr.
Booths brother, witnessed the scene
described above.
Stepping forward, he said excitedly;
"Mr. Booth, do you know that man ?"
"No," was the reply.

Mr.. Booth afterwards said that this
act Of his gave him more satisfaction
than could be represented in any other
way, and mentioned the fact that the

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cleveland Leader tells how the wife
of clerk saw vision that saved her
husbands life. Referring to the many

"The solemn truth is that but one
human being In Washington or any
where else felt on last Friday morning
that something dreadful was to happen
In or about Ford's old theater. That
person was a woman, the wife of one Of
the clerks. She had vision before
breakfast. She saw a disaster, and she
saw her husband in it. Therefore she
kept him at home. She had had visions
before, and the husband, by experience,
had learDed to know that they
amounted to something. Some men
would have laughed and gone away to
their deaths. This man, however,
didn't laugh, He sat on his stoop in the
sunshine and played with his children
When the floor fell he was smoking a
pipe two miles away.

Latimer, of Cleveland, Used to say

our NATIONAL hymn WRIrER.

every church, society and school In the
land, and beginning:
my country It's Of thee,
Sweet land OF liberty,
OF thee sing.
Land where our fathera died,
Land Of the Pilgrims pride,
From every mountain side

DR.. Smith, though now in his 87tb
year, Is hale and hearty and in the en-
joyment of serene and beautiful old
age. He resides in q vine-embowered
cottage, in one of the suburbs of Bos-
ton, but has for some m onths past spent
his time on the Pacific slope, stopping
on his return trip, to visit the Worlds
Fair.
What must have been the reflections
of the grand old master bard, who has
sung nation, through all its hopes
and fears, through wars and pes
thence and privation, to the highest
pinnacle OF human glory, as he beheld
what God has wrought In the splendors
of the Columbian Exposition.
His praises are sung every time we
sound our national air and when the
bands strike up America" and the
chorus shouts forth its glad acclaims
there is blessing and benediction on the
name of the venerable patriot, DR..
Smith. This was one of his rewards at
the great Worlds Fair, all of which he
saw and part of which he is.
DR.. Smiths latest autograph letter is
written IN the firm, close hand, plain as
coppsrplate, characteristic of the men
who belonged to an age when pen
manship was not a lost art. Follow ing

United States a box of big opals only to
lose them in the establishment of the

sanctuary; but right in the sanctuary
itself. Such an incident tends to
weaken confidence in human nature.
