improvements on the building to

college are going on rapidly and a
few days more will see all the nee

partitions have been taken out and
halls and rooms painted and pa

has been torn out and the large

small rooms upstairs will be used
for cloak rooms. a cupola will be
erected on top of the building and
the building will probably be paint

put up in the general study room

AMpUTATION AGAIN.

Lemuel N. Mcbride. John Early
aud \. y. Samson have received no.
tice that their pensions have been
cut down by Commissioner Loeb
rem. the astute agent of the econom-
ical government now in the saddle.
This promiscuous pension cutting
may be patriotic, but il is not polite
10 say the least. The loyal people
of the North do not approve of these
measures and no party can retain
control.of this government that en-
dorses such actions. The men who
assisted in tearing down our flag
may have n right to sit in the high
places of our government. but they
have no right to send to the poor
house the men who nailed that ban.
ner to the mast. The returns from
the Fourth judicial district of Illi-
nois, which show Republican gain
of nearly 12OO0 votes, demonstrate
the fact that the people still sympa-
thizc with those who defended the
nation. and that any attempt on the
part of tariff reform rebels to take
away the means of support PROM
ised by Abraham Lincoln and L. S.
Grant will result in their ignomini-
Gus and everlasting defeat.
