saw that small pug was running about
It, 80 1 took q whip out with me to drive
It away. The pug planted ITSELF %be-
tween mo and the sick dog, and barked
at me savagely, but at last drove it
away, and again gave food and milk
and water to my protege. The little
pug watched me for few moments, and,
as g .on as he felt quite assured that my
intention toward the sick dog were
friendly. it ran to me wagglng it's tail.
leaped up to my shoulder, and licked
my face and hands, nor would 1t touch
the water till the invalid had had all it
wanted. I suppose that 1t was satisfied
that Its companion was in good hands,
for it trotted happily away, and did not
appear upon the scene again.-London

The President and the Pensioners.

The disgraceful order issued at the
beginning of the Cleveland administra-
tion, whereby pension payments to
thousands of deserving pensioners were
summarily suspended without warning
or investigation or explanation. is de-
Tended in the Presidents message.
The defense is SO weak as to be con-
temptible, and emphasizes rather than
palliates the disgrace of the original
order. The reason for the wholesale
suspension, as given by tho President,
is that frauds upon the Pension De-
pactment were discovered and, pend
ing g complete examination, "the Com
missioner suspended payment upon a
number of pensions which seemed to be
fraudulent or unauthorized" Had he
stated the whole truth, the President
would have added that the Commits
stoner also suspended payment upon
thousands of pensions concerning which
there was NJ remote suspicion either of
fraud or irregularity.
The President is justified in saying
Il am unable to understand why frauds
in the pension rolls should not be ex-
posed and corrected with thoroughness
and vigor;" but he is not justified in as
suming, as his administration has as
sumed, that pensions In general are
fraudulent because occasional evidence
of fraud has been found. The Pension
Bureau is brutally furnishing the inno-
cent with the guilty; and the innocent
who suffer undeservedly are as ten to
one in comparison with the guilty ones
who ought to suffer. The present ad.
ministration of the Pension Bureau is
2 shame to the republic; and the shame
Is tenfold enhanced by the Presidents
formal approval in the message just
sent to Congress.-Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin.
