ONE influence which helped greatly to
defeat the Ubiquitous pension amendments
of the Committee on Appropriations was
opposition to that committees usurping
functions that properly belonged to the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. The Com
mittee on Appropriations is always disposed
to be autocratic and to hold whip-hand
over the other committees, and these are
naturally jealous of it, and disposed to
resent its domineering. It's attempt to take
the whole matter of pensions from the con-
troll Of the committee specifically charged
with that duty was so fragrant usurpation
that it aroused general opposition. If that
were permitted, no committee would be
SAFE They would all be mere creatures of
the Committee on Appropriations, which
would arrogate to itself all the powers and
functions of the whole House.

IN THE SPRING.

IN sfklNts
In the Spring brighter Irish comes upon the
hired girl.
And the mustache of the oldest boy seems more
inclined to curl;
The coachman and the house-cat then returns
home rather late,
And growing tendency to sag comes DER the
new front gate
In the Spring.
That's the time livelier hustle comes on q. to
pay the rent,
And to get the lighter ulster left ut Uncle.
while twas Lent;
Then the bull-frogs of the stock exchange seem
more inclined to croak
OF tho profits one is sure to make who dossn'.
see the joke
In the Spring.
In suburban streams the smokers have . mind
to speculate.
And with boot blacks and the other boys take
on more real estate;
While the whistle of the fodder as he climb:
the flower stand,
Often changes to . spanking sound suggestive
Of . hand
In the Spring.
In that time the Tiger snoozes calm and lamb
like in his lair
Till there comes smell of Mugwumps seeming
all the vernal all
Alb, who can tell the sequence, whether place
or whether pelf,
As the Tiger winks his other eye, and slyly
humps himself
In the Spring.
That is when the cock tail mixer counters out
his chestnut meats,
To each nibbler of the FREQ lunch with the STUFF
to stand the treats;
And the smiling moroing milk-man seemeth
more than ever gay,
AZ If he knew exactly that his biggest profits

LEGISLATORS keep tinkering destruct-
vely with the Army, and then people
wonder why better class of men does not
enlist. The provision that men may not
serve longer than 10 years il a specimen Of
this mischievous legislation. The intention
is to save money by not allowing men to serve
long enough to 60 upon the Retired List.
This is utterly wrong If it is good practice
to offer inducements to the officers to stay in
the Army long enough to 60 upon the Re-
tired List it is equally good practice to
make the same inducements to the men. II
we maintain standing army at all, we
should try to have it composed of the best
possible material. We cannot do so unless
we make it worth while for the best class of
men to enlist and remain in the Army. To
do this we ought to make the pay Of nom
commissioned officers higher, in order to
encourage those soldiers to fit themselves
for those places and stay in the Army, and
we ought to provide for the old age of those
who serve for long time by Retired List.

States No pains or expense are spared to
secure the very best and most practical in
formation on every subject of Importance to
the farmer
Being published at the National Capita
it has many facilities for obtaining informa-
ton and knowledge not possessed by papers

This fact is of much more than usual i'm
portance to the farmers at this time, when

of measures of the greatest interest TO all
farmers, and this viii be continued through

every farmer should take the paper TO keep
himself properly informed

price Of 50 cents year. or less than two

. large amount Of reading matter of the
highest class 1T such low figure.

THE Louisville Courier Journal SAYS:

The Democratic members from the Northern
States are afraid to vote for pension reform for
fear Of losing their seats In Congress In other
words the latter GLASS will vote to squander mil.
lions of dollars Of the peoples money on worthless
pensioners In order to obtain their votes on election
day. This Is legalized bribery.
The Courier-Jonrnal only exposes its own
malignancy in writing such stuff It knows
that this is lie. and only believed by igno.
rant and prejudiced soldier-haters. Despite
all their anxiety to do 80, the soldier-haters
have not been able to find single man OF
woman on the pension rolls who does not
richly deserve every cent he or she gets.

liz accordance with the spirit of the Papal
utterances on the common-school question
in America, Father Corrigan, of Hobokep,
N. j., has proposed to the school trustees of
that city that he turn over the parochial
schools of his parish to them, with the sole
reservation that after school hours he be
allowed to give religious instruction to the
pupils. This seems perfectly fair and reason
able, and there will not probably be the
slightest hesitation in accepting the offer on
the part of the trustees. II Is likely that
Father Corrigan's course will be very gen.
orally followed by the Irish priests through
out the country. The German, Polish,
Bohemian, and Italian will not be so ready
70 do this, for they feel that their hold upon
their people depends upon their educating
them in their mother-tOngue, and they will
continue to fight against giving up this adj
vantage, or, rather, supposed advantage. But
the main thing, and the one over which all
American citizens--n2tive or naturalized-
will rejoice, il that the war of the Roman
Catholic Church against tho public schools
ID at last at an end, and Catholic children
can now have the same advantages of educa-
ton az those Of other faiths.

THE KANSAS SITUATION.

The Supreme Court of Kansas has appar-
emily brought the discreditable situation of
affairs in that State to an issue by declaring
what is known as the Republican" House
to be the legally constituted one, and this
has apparently been accepted by the major
ity of the opposition. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that this is so, and that peace has
como. There never was the least reason for
the deplorable state of affairs which has
done so much to hurt Kansas's reputation.
It cannot be conceived that there can ever
be any justification for q resort to force in
this country to settle any dispute. We have
clothed our courts with ample powers to de-
eide any controversy, and if these powers
are not ample enough, or if the decision be
unfair, then there lies an appeal to the SOW
ereign people at the next election. The
Populists made the great mistake of not do
ing in the first instance what they have
done now. The dispute should have been
taken into the Supreme Court, and the de-
cision of that tribunal accepted If there
was reason to be dissatisfied with that de-
cision, it would form admirable campaign
material for an appeal to the people at the
next election.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-03-02
ONLY A rRUcE-Nor PEACE.


It is only truce, not peace, on the
pension question. The fight will begin
anew with the appointment of the successor
to Gen. Raum as Commissioner of Pensions,
and the settlement of his policy. The
soldisr-haters will strive to have .. man
appointed who will take the narrowest pos
sible view of the rights of soldiers, and who
will use his position to retard instead of
facilitate pension-getting They will want
man appointed who will decrease the effect
iveness of the Bureau, diminish the weekly
number of claims allowed, cut down the
ratings, and increase the difficulties of prov
ing claim. Temporarily defeated in their
attempt to have Congress decrease the
effectiveness of the Pension Bureau, they
will try to accomplish the same result in
the selection of the man who shall admin
lister tho Bureau. II their advice be fol-
lowed man would be put in who would at
once cut down the work done by the Bureau
one-half.
Comrades will await for the next week or
80 with great anxiety for the announcement
of the new Commissioner of Pensions, and
their hopes and fears for the future will
largely center upon his personality. 1t may
be that, disregarding the clamor Of the
soldier-haters, Mr.. Cleveland will wisely
decide to continue the good work inaugu-
rated by this Administration, and maintain
the Pension Bureaus present policy of
pushing the work along with the utmost
dispatch, 80 that all the claims before it may
be disposed of in reasonable time. That
is the only just and honorable policy for the
Government, and all veterans and friends of
veterans fervently commend it to the con-
sideration of the incoming President.
But if he decides to order it followed he
will meet with tornado of opposition from
the organized soldier haters.
The next few weeks will be full Of pain

sert's singing letter, Congressman O'Neil
sent at once to the War Department for the
record of "a. G.. Weissert, 9th Wis" It came,
and read something like this: Enlisted at
age of II; served three years; received
severe wound in battle, causing running
sore, not yet healed" This apparently was
not the record that Mr.. O'Neil wanted, for he
has maintained conspicuous silence in re-
gard to it.

THE appointment of Hoke Smith to the
Cabinet atones for the neglect that this
illustrious family has suffered in the history
of our country. Though it has been active
in securing the election Of every President,
only three of its members before the present
one have been invited to assist the Chief
Magistrate in ruling the country.

USUALLY, when ministers fall from grace
they become insurance agents. It is rare,
though, that insurance agents reform and
become ministers. Twelve years ago the
Rev. Stephen Fl. Tying was the honored rec
tor Of q fashionable New York church, and
for some unaccountabIe reason decided to
leave that position to 60 into tho insurance
business. Now he announces his return to
the ministry.
