ono PrecedentInEnough.

It Is stated that Senator CuIlom of ILL.,
nois and Representative Hit of the same
state have undertaken to get Congress to
grant James B. Rawlins a pension of $50
a month. Rswlins has never served in
the army or the navy. If an application
for a pension for him should be made 1t
would be based upon the fact that he is
the son of John A. Rawlins. who was a
prominent officer on Gen. Grants staff
and afterwards Secretary of War.
There is only one precedent for PEN
sion of this kind. There shouldn't be an
other. The time hasn't come when the
country can afford to pension the sons
and daughters of Union veterans 1t is
about as much as it can do to keep from
being bankrupted by the pension demands
of the veterans and their widows.
It may be that John A. Rawlns rem
dered the Union cause good service, and
that his son is now an invalid and una
bic to earn living, but are there not
thousands of sons and daughters of I'm
ion veterans who are in a poverty stricken
condition, and who would have some
ground for claiming a pension from the
government If the pension application of
this man Rawlins should be granted?
Once let 1t be understood that sons and
daughters of veterans were being taken
care of By the government and the pension
burden would be doubled within a very
short time. Two or three presidents for
paying pensions to sons and daughters of
Union veterans would be sufficient to en-
able pension attorneys to get legislation
authorizing pensions for that class of pen
sioners. If the government is wise it will
never give pension to James B. Raw
Inns. The people are now complaining bit
terly Of the pension burden What would
they do if Congress should greatly in
crease that burden by giving pensions to
sons and daughters of Union veterans?

walked on with the Bees.

As 1 sat on the veranda with the farmer

greatly bothered by tramps, and his reply
was:

1T was meaner than that. We was

bees began to pour out of the hive and
circle around along comes a tramp up the
path for sutllin' to eat The queen bee
settled down on his old hat, and the null
swarm follered her In two minits that
tramp's head and shoulders was covered
with bees, and 1 yells to him for heavens
sake not to try to fight EN- off, or he'd
be stung to death"
He must have been terror stricken" l
said
Not bit of it, sir. He was as cool
as a cowcumber, and when / told him

" And he wasn't stung?

1t has now been quite five months
since those five suspected thieves were
lynched at Versailles, Ripley county, In
diana; still nothing has been done to-
wards sending the lynchers to the gall
lows or the penitentiary. The Governor
continues to declare that he means to
bring the perpetrators of the outrage upon
the law to justice, but the people of the
county are said to be in sympathy with
the lynchers, who shortly after the crime
were tacitly indicated by the grand jury,
which declined to find an Indictment
against them. In Indiana the state has
no right of change of venue in criminal
proceedings, hence it is practically sure
that if the lynchers were brought to trial
in Ripley county they would be acquitted
i'm short order. 1t is one matter to de-
nounce lynching, and quite another mat
ter to sec"re the conviction of the lynch
ers. The Northern sections will be the
wiser when they have learned this fact
for themselves.

Felt Acquainted.

A Boston lady of the most reserved and
exclusive type was waiting for her change
at the glove-counter in one of the large
stores, says Harper's Bazaar, when she was
approached by a very large, gaudily dress
ed, and loud-loolIing woman, who held out
a pudgy hand in a bright green kid glove.
and said,
why, how do you do. Mrs Blank?"
Mrs Blank ignored the proffered hand
and, drawing herself up stifiy, said. frig
idly.
Il do not think that I know you. ma

in no wise embarrassed by the coldness of
her reception, but I've knowed you by

Personal.

Only seven commissions were granted
to non-commissionedo officers in the British
army last year. Fourteen were given in
1895, twenty in 1885. and twenty-five in
1894. Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-
chief, objects strongly TO promotion from
the ranks.
Mrs. Gladstone has just celebrated her
Ssth birthday. The elder of the two daugh-
ters Of Sir Stephen Glynne, she was mar

sister, Miss Mary Glynne, on the same day,
became the wife of Lord Lyttelton.

There was a sensational story told in
New York the other day. 1t was TO the
effect that Chauncey NJ. Depew, as the
head of syndicate Of capitalists. would
buy the republic OF Honduras, and do
great things with that country. 1t turns
out that Mr.. Depew and his friends are
not going to purchase the whole country

enterprises which promise 10 aid in the
development Of the country and yield

Those prominent Americans who have
lately visited Mexico would do well to pre-
pare for return visit from the President
of that country. II is announced that
President Diaz will pay this country visit
sometime in the near future. taking in
the chief cities and points of interest.
When he visits Atlanta IL will be in order
for the authorities there to entertain him
with a foot ball game-one of the knock
down, drag-out. nose-breaking, spine-dis-
locating kind. He will. of course, desire
to study the customs and amusements of
the people of the United States, the same
as leading men of the United States do
when they visit Mexico.

Mr.. Bryan Did Not Attend.

There is again talk of the formation OF
a gigantic cotton trust, composed of pro-
ducers and handlers, of the South and
the North. Something of this kind is
periodically projected. a few months ago
the Morning News published a communica-
ton from Mr. j. T. Roddey outlining a
scheme Of the kind. So far as we have
seen, this new scheme does not hold out
any better promise of success that the
others which have preceded it. We have
said, and still believe, that the only thing
which will serve to reduce tie cotton out
put is drop of the price to such a
point that its production will be unproit-
able. When the farmers discover that they
are losing money at cotton planting they
will abandon that staple for something
else. 1t is practically impossible to hold
all of the cotton producers, or even half
OF them, in an agreement to reduce acre
ages. That being true it is not practica.
bic to bring about reduction Of acreage
