I Marine Corps some six months ago,
aud is stationed at the League Island

tiyes here last Saturday and Sunday.
Thomas Kearns and VIM. Colligan

1t is gratifying to the people of
the United States to know the appro-
priation for pensions this year carries
$139, 900, 900, which is about SO. 900. 900
less than last year. These reductions
will be very noticeable now from year
to year, and in few years, at the
most, all the old soldiers who served
in the civil war and who are now draw
ing pension will be erased from the
rolls by death.
The flibernian boys had little
run lart Thursday morning when the
alarm was struck. The fire WAS only
a slight one at the railroad shops, but
the liibernia WAS prompt upon tho
scene and ready for action.
1t would be an excellent idea for
some of our leading manufacturing es-
adjustments to put in distinguishing
alarm whistles, similar to that of the
Union paper mill, in New Hope--a diff
ferent tone, as our alarm system has
always been so complicated rs to cause
the iiremen considerable trouble in
locating fire.
Owing to our condition, the read
ers Of this column must not expect
much First Ward news from us at pre-
sent, as we are unable to be out, and
consequently catch but little news of
interest. But nevertheless, as We
hope to ont be soon again. we will try
and hold on to the position as cores
pendent of THE RECORD from the
Fisst Ward.

OF course, all trades and businesses
have improved the past few years, and
as the present administration will con-

faith in the Republican administration
of the government, and just as long as
this government remains Republican
just so long will the good times be with

ing, as the proof is staring us in the
face. We don't have to hunt up the
prosperity in the Repie,o Of Repieaus
nor Dun's financial predictions. W.
have prosperous times right her,
with us, and this is n proof of tn,
pudding.
The Declaration Of Independence
is perfectly right in saying "All men ar

and write his name on the lhead Of

the common herd, and treats them nc

vironment works changes and the in

poor unfortunate children grow up

hunger and disease and squeeze educa-
