every year, ule total numDer or pen
sioners is now about round 1000 900,
or $4,000 increase under Mckinley and
Evans over the number that Cleveland
left upon the rolls.
The pension payments last year
were over S20,O00,0O0 more than in
either of Grants first or second terms,
and about as much as the entire four
years under President Hayes-facts
that show the growth of the pension
benefaction. The total pension pay
ments since 1866 will exceed $2,400,-
100000, an amount without parallel in
the worlds history.
In addition to all that has been done.
the present Republican congress enact
ed three important amendments to the
pension laws. That of April 1S, 1900.
provides pensions for the Spanish
war, even though the benefciaries
may have been southern soldiers, thus
truth that the Union is at last fully
reunited. The act of April %, 1900,
makes ample additional provision for
pensioners of the war with Mexico.
The act of May 8, 1900, known as the
Grand Army bill," makes even more
liberal the great Republican law Of
June q, 1890, and is expected to add
thousands to the pension rolls. Sec
tion third of this act, upon the recon-
mendation of Commissioner Evans,
approved both by Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock and President Nc
Kinley, is alone expected to add to the
benefits of soldiers widows about
s3,5OO,OO0 every year, and to include
in its generosity $4,000 to 10000
widows OF our soldiers.
Upon these records the Republican
party rightfully rests its claim upon
the generosity and support OF every
soldier with particle of gratitude in
his heart, and every friend of such
soldier, particularly when considered
in contrast with what the Democratic
party when in power has done for the
soldiers, and it's continued obstruction
to every endeavor to secure full JUS
tice from the United States for its
defenders.

STRAUS MILK CHARITY.
Il Saves the Lives of Many Poor Little
Ones of New York Tene-
mrnts.

The Medical Record says OF the
Straus milk charity in New York:
This charity, which was organized in
1893 in a little shed on n dock az the
foot OF East Third street, now occu-
pies large two-story building and
dispcnses during the yenr from va
rious branches some $50. 900 bottles of
pasteurizcd milk. In order TO furnish
n food better adapted to very young
or sick infants two notifications have
recently been prepared, one intended
for sick infants and the other for
healthy infants; the former is a dilu-
tion of milk with three times it's bulk
of water and lime water with sugar
added so as TO provide food contain
ing one per cent. fat, five per cent.
sugar and one per cent. protcids; this
is dispensed in three-ounce bottles.
The second new modification, intend
ed for healthy infants of early age,
represents two per cent. fat, five per
cent. sugar and one per cent. proteids,
also dispensed in three-ounce bottles.
Another modification containing about
four per cent. fat, seven per cent.
sugar and two per cent. proteids is
dispensed in six-ounce bottles. Whole
milk is also dispensed in pint bottles.
All this milk Is accurately pasteurized
in hygienic nursing bottles at rs de-
grees Centigrade (l67 degrees Fahren-
heiD, is rapidly cooled and is deliv-
cred to the branch depots in refrir-
orator wagons. With each bottle n
sterile nipple is supplied. The milk
will be supplied free to any applicant
who presents a statement from a ply
sician that she is unable to pay for
it. Such applicant must, however,
leave a deposit to insure the return
of the bottles.

TWO MESSAGES
From the Far East to the American
People.

From the Far East To the american
People.
Hon. John Barrett, former minister
of the United States to Siam, is now
making speeches in the Republican
campaign. In the opening one in New
York city, he riveted tn eattention OF
his immense audience by two messages
which he brought from the far east.
The first of these is from the King OF
Siam, who said:
Go back to the American people
and tell them that l. an Asiatic mon
arch, speaking almost the same Ian
guage as the Filipinos, having the
same blood in my veins, and knowing
the hopes and impulses OF the people
of Asia-go back and tell them that
welcome America to the Philippines
and the far east, as a great and good
power"
The Siamese monarch is one of the
greatest statesmen OF the orient, the
ruler over millions of people, whose
kingdom is as prosperous as is Japan.
Important as this message is to the
American people, the second one
brought by Mr.. Barrett surpasses 1t,
because of the mournful interest which
surrounds 1t. 1t is message from
Nebraska colonel, but not one like
Colonel Bryan. 1t is from the dead
Colonel Stotsenburg. 1t was his regi-
ment which was on picket duty when
EnhrtlQ
1899, occurred. 1t was one OF his men
a resident OF Lincoln, who fired the
first shot when the insurgents tried tc
break through our lines. Colonel Stot-
senburg led charge against the rebels
and fell mortaly wounded. AS he lay
there, the death dew on his pale brow
realizing that the end had come, be
said:
"Yes, boy5, you can tell the Ameri
can people that |, as colonel in com
mand, knowing all the incidents, say
that the responsibility for this trouble
does not rest on the American army
nor on the American government. Tel
them that | said with dying breath
that we were deliberately fired on b,
enemies of the United States. and thai
there should be no end of the conflic!
except their unconditional surrender
Contrast these words of the dying
Nebraska hero with those of that othel
Nebraska colonel, whose military ex
perience was in a camp, and who de
clares that If he should be elected
president of the United States. h
would summon congress in extra ses
sion to offer what would be virtua
surrender to these rebels in arm
against the American government.
