A Decision Expected to Give Them 9
Pensionabie Status.
WASHINGTON, March 21.--An impor.
tant pension decision by Assistant Sec
rotary J. M. Reynolds is looked for this
week. 1t refers to totally helpless chill
dren of decea ed soldiers. 1t has been held
heretofore that they had no pensionable
status and many special acts have been
passed and are pending to cover such
cases. 1t is stated on good authority
that the secretary will hold that chill
dren who were pensioned through the
mother or guardian as minors upFto the
age of 10 and who are or who become
totally and permanently helpless are
pensionahle under the general laws,
This will reach considerable number
of highly merltorious cases who have
been deprived of deserved assistance
owing to the difficulty in passing special
acts of this character.

The Nebraska Senator FAvors Municipal
Control OF Street Ra lways, Etc.
WASHINGTON, March 81. Senator
Henderson has put himself on record a.
being in favor Of municipal ownership
of street railways, lighting and water
works. Addressing the annual meeting
of the Washington Congregational club
upon "The Good Citizen in Municipal
Affairs" the senator advocated o change
in the present system of municipal gov
eminent Il was unfair that In 30
many cases men controlled the funds Of
a municipality who had no interest in
its welfare and prosperity. Private
corporations, he said, had no right
to furnish the light water or
transportation for municipal purposes.
If there was profit in conducting these
enterprises, the municipality should
conduct them and reap the benefits.
And it was the duty Of good citizens to
see that this was brought about. The
president, Justice Brewer, of the United
States supreme court, said that 1t was
this system that gave to New York city
the enormous financial power, and it
was the duty of the citizens to attend to
it if reform was to be accomplished.

yurer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner
Berry, for gross negligence in failing

is as follows:
Greeting to General Dow. ...
To General Neal Dow: A mighty
throng gathered in Exeter hall crowns
your 80 benefcent years with love and
gratitude, for you can truly say:
-"When the ear heard me, then it blessed
me; and when the eye saw me, it gave
witness to me, because I delivered the
poor that cried and the fatherless and
him that had none to help him, The
blessing of him that was ready to enrich
came upon me and caused the widows
heart to sing for joy. I put ON right
eousness and it clothed me; my judg-
ment was a robe and a diadem. was
eyes to the blind and feet was / to the
lame. was father to the poor and
the cause which I knew not l searched
out" Dob. xxx, 1l-16.) ...-
In addition to the above message to
General Dow, the following address to
the great American temperance advo-
cate will be adopted:
1--WE are profoundly grateful for the
character that illustrates the spotless
purity of life, for a career devoted to
the emancipation of the slave, the cause
of total abstinence and the enfranchise-
ment of women, and for the courage
that dared to be in the right two or
three and held steadfastly on its way
till crowned by the action of that great
majority which gave constitutional pro-
hibition to the State of Maine.
"We pray that your 80 benefcent
years be rounded to 100, and that you
may tarry, with us until the mother
country enables her people to put the
LIQUOR traffic under the ban of the law,
and make home protection the watch
word of her politics.
"We feel sure that a birthday was
never SO universally observed without
distinction of nation, sect or party, and
we argue from this Indication of the
cosmopolitan character of the temper

when the race out of child hood has
grown"
