the Home into politics, Mr.. Cole said that
everything the Grand Army Of the Repup-
lic got was by going into politics. In re-
ply to the argument hat veterans whose
families were in need were allowed to
keep their pension money, he said that he
could produce a woman IN Jersey lily
who had a brother in the Home. The
brother got $2 a month pension. The
Home kept 81, he gave his sister $3.50 and
kept only so cents tor himself. He asked
me anage OF the Home 70 allow MN
more, and his request was refused.
Comrade Crane hotly declared that that
was not so, and Mr.. Cole as hotly replied
that it was. Things looked squally for a
time, but finally Settled down and Mr..
Cole went on winding up with a brilliant
peroration. in which he declared that the
Grand Army a~skedsfor the passage of the
bill in the interests of the veteran and of
humanity.
Comrade Smith suggested that the COM
mittee lay the bill aside and introduce a
joint resolution for a thorough investiga-
ton of the Home. This was favorably
received, and will probably be done.

Ordinance Drawn by Agreement.

Mr.. W. D. Edwards, counsel for the
Pagan Iron Works Company, yesterday
afternoon filed a new ordinance with the
Street and Water Board which if passed
will allow the laying OF a switch across
street, from the Weehawken
branch of the Erie Railroad to the com

accordance with the agreement arrived
at by the company, interested property
owners and Street and Water Commits

Accompanying the ordinance are maps,
prepared by Chief Engineer Van Keuren,
showing how the tracks must be laid

The berths in the sleepers bothered us at first, but we soon caught on to the racket and had both boots off before the conductor made a suggestion. In consideration of the feelings of certain timid passengers we gave the porter our guns to take charge of during the night, and do not remember to have enjoyed sweeter sleep.
 The Kicker, in common with the great majority of Giveadam Gulch, has been opposed to the rapid leaps and bounds of civilization, as tending to un- sex the bone and sinew of the great Western Empire, but from this date on- ward we shall take a broader and more liberal view of the general situation. even if we lose half our subscribers and bring the number of victims in our pri- yate graveyard up to an even score

Three months aqo the Kicker had half-page illus trated article on passenger elevators, and editorially stated in the same issue that any man with pair of legs under him who would take this effete way ot beatino the stairs ought to be com nelled to wear a dress and bonnet. We have undergone a change of opinion. If the Blue Buzzard hotel at Giveadam Gulch doesn't put in an elevator thls summer we shall cease to chew our fodder and take our nips at that cara vansary. If one goes in the boys will oather 10 shoot it full of holes, but we shall be there to argue for civiliza- tion.
 We missed the free and easy manners of the Gulch at the hotel table in St. Louis, and it was something of strain on the nervous system, but we came out of it alive and right-side up, with our napkin showed down in our coat tail pocket for a handkerchief. The waiter made faux pas in passing us a lot of quill toothpicks instead Of cedar silver. but as he had never lived west of St. Louis we did not lay it up against him.

He had heard of our post office at Giveadam Gulch, and was ready to agree with us that any free-born American post master who would lick on stamps for any critter with whiskers on his chin ought to be busted at 24 hours notice. He was also of our way of thinking iii regard to shooting through the gen. eral delivery window 10 attract the at- tention of the clerk. He cannot go out and expedite the service, as we can, by following up the mail carriers and uttering an occasional yell or firing q few random shots, but he is evidently hustler.
 Also felt it our duty to call upon the mayor. After a slight delay we were ushered into his presence and he gave us a warm greeting. Exaggerated re- ports of the doings in the common coun- cil chamber of Giveadam Gulch had reached his ears and we were glad to set him right. When we informed him that only three of our aldermen had been
