THE readjustment Of the pension
system has begun, and it is calcu-
lated that under the new admins
rration a check is going TO be given
to the rapid growth of the pension
list, even without the assistance of
any new legislation. When the
pension appropriation bill was
passed at the last session of Con-
gress 1t was expected that the
amount appropriated would be
about SIS, 100000 short of the pen
sion expenditures of this fiscal
year, and it was anticipated that a
deficiency OF this amount would
have to be provided for at the. COM
ing session of Congress. The av-
erage number OF original pension
cases passed on each month is ex-
pected, however, to be only about
one-third what. it was under the
former administration Of the Pen
sion Bureau, and that instead Of a
deficiency there will be q surplus
of about s6,000,0G0.

THE Boone Banner has passed its
eighth twelvo-month round on the
geat wheel of time. Excepting
THE TRIBUNE, we think the Ban
ner is truly the banner paper Of
this part of the State. Brother
Hull is a good editor, a good hus-
tier, and, withal ,, one of the very
best men in the country. He has
worked untiringly for the interests
of his party and the State. May
the Banner ever prosper.

WE are pleased to see the papers
OF the State are favorably impressed
with our editorial of two weeks
ago on the subject of taxation.
Some Of the papers have copied it
as an Endorsement, while many
others have commented upon it in
quite satisfactory manner. The
subject of how to get an accurate
and uniform valuation Of the prop
erty subject to taxation is one of
the most perplexing questions be-
fore the people, not only in Ar
kansas, but in many other States
as we'll. Since the fixing of the
true valuation of property depends
wholly upon the loyalty of the peo-
pie, We think a strong and earnest
appeal should be made to them for
justice in this matter.

HICKEY, the alledged murderer Of
John M. Clayton, has been set free,
and the release of Burkhardt, the
prosecuting witness, will soon fol-
low. Thus the foul murder of
Clayton is as much shrouded in
mystery as before, and no hopes
need be entertained now that the
villain will ever be brought to JUS
tice. There seemed to be but little
disposition on the part OF the
prosecution to dig into this case.
Hickey may be innocent, but evi-
dcnce a lduccd against him WAS GER
tainly strong enough to demand a
more thorough investigation.

NORH SIDE SQUARE,

AN exchange suggests that as the
time is nearly here when the As
SCISSOR makes his rounds it might be
we'll for the people to be just a lit
tie more liberal in the matter Of
assessing their property. A fair,
honest valuation of property all
over the State would not only put
moro money in the treasury but it
would enable us to take that rank
in point of wealth with other States
to which we are entitled. Be honest
with the Assessor and turn in your
property fairly and honestly Hell

We would have been pleased had
the editor of the World stated that
this suggestion was made by The

Boys Gone Wrong,

Bloomfield Times, May 9: Tues
day afternoon the town was excited
over the arrest of the thieves who
forcibly entered the Duncannon
store on the night of the 22nd of
April. As we said last week, it was
the work of amateurs, so it proved,
but when Vim. Finkenbinder and
Frank Boutwell,, whose ages ara
about Is, were arrested for the crime
everybody was surprised, and they
should be, for who would have sus-
picioned these lads. They are of re-
spectacle parents who have tried to
raise their children to be upright
and honest, but these boys, but these
boys got into a crooked path which
has led them behind prison bars
where they will have ample time to
reflect ever their bad work. They
had private hearing before Squire
Henry Moreland, where there was
sufficient evidence brought forward
to hold the boys for the August
term of court, and they were taken
to the county jail ut New Bloomfield.
They have since confessed and told
where the articles, which they car
ried off, could be found; in making
clean breast of the matter they evil
deptly expected to be leniently deal.
with, On Wednesday morning a
man was sent for the stolen goods
which were found IN the woods
some distance from town. The day
previous to the robbery the young
prisoners told married man of their
plans and asked him to join them,
but he was wise enough not to be q
party to the crime. Later on he in
formed his wife of the whole affair,
and she soon made it public gossip,
and when it reached the ears of the
officials of the Iron Company there
WAS an investigation made and the
srrssts on suspicion followed with
the above result.

but she was to heavy and in a jiffy
she had herself wound around his
body and was slowly crushing the life
out of him. The reptile was still to
stiff to accomplish her work quickly,
and by the prompt interference of
the men the courageous little fellows
life was saved. These two had exca-
waited neat den two feet under

apparently WAS waiting to be served

they walked till Dswart became so

was in that condition an hour. When

An Unique Communication.

There are no people in the world
who live so well, 30 comfortably as to
food, clothing, homes, conveniences
and government, but who are so
thankless and mentolly discontented
and mis- s,rable as the American peo-
pie. We are fast becoming nation
Of miserable grumb!ers. Even the
children become miserably discon-
tented and turn grumblers before
they are half way through their teens
With such facts confronting one on
every side, it is a surprise to read an
unique communication, brim full of
contentment like the following which
was clipped from the Mifflinburg,
Uaion Co. Telegraph of May 5.
1--WE had few bright days last
week; the past three weeks have been
remarkably bad for farmers.
Last week we raised the frame for
q straw house, 20x32x16, in front of
our barn. We set it down to the
ground. As we keep our cattle in
the stable and put tho manure onto
the fields early, often and much. we
don't need a manure shed. In this
way one good hand can attend to the
straw conveniently and comfortably,
for we will make plenty doors, while
, formerly we had four hands, in the
; barn and dust, while on the stack the
straw WAS wasted at times. With
some assistance by our son in law,
Jacob Aumiller, we got the material
from the woods and quarry, put it in
to shape, made the wall and raised
the frame. Hard work at times, but
we get there.
By the grace of God and our fami.
ly we may soon finish the building
and hope to thresh with more com.
fort than formerly. Thus the world
wags, with us as the most illsignif.
cant part Of the performance, yet.
while some will sneer at this little
tale and some do despise us for the
good we would do them, some do ap.
preciste our good intentions at least.
From the south and from the north,
from the east as well as from the Pa
cific coast, yes from beyond the sea
We hear kind words in return for our
imperfect labors of love, for such has
been our aim. Money can't buy us;
office, or honor, is nothing to US. BY
Gods favor and the patronage of our
friends we have a good home and are
more than satisfied with il, and do
wish it were possible for all men TO
be equally favored S. G. GROVE.
