bridges and corduroy highways. The
white handkerchief was stained a muddy
yellow. the dye in the piece of Maria 8
dress had faded into a dirty nondescript.
The oft-read letters were glued together
in an extricable bunch. with the loved

blurs and bIotches. The heavy paper and
fine envelopes he was saving to write to
her, was now, to use Shorty's expression,

He was too diffident to ask any one else

that that would betray to all of them his

at a premium just then among them all,
for their private stocks had all suffered

THE really great Speakers, who have
been leaders of their parties, and impress
ed themselves upon the country, have been
Henry Clay, Jas. G. Blaine, Samuel J.
Randall, John G. Carlisle, and Thos. h.
Reed. Clay did great work for the
Nationality of the Nation. Randall led
and directed his party in the Tariff issue,
and, without intending to do so, helped
greatly to form public sentiment in favor
of the Protective policy. Carlisle held his
party together as long as it was possible
to do so. and gave it dignity and force
that it lost when it separated from him
and other leaders like him. Reed led
his party to the symmetrical completion
of the work of the war of the rebellion.
the solid establishment of the Protective
policy, and the firm grounding of the f.
nancial system upon a gold basis. This
completed the work of the wartime Re
publican party. The party then took n
departure for new ideas and aims, in some
of which he could not follow it, and so
he retired. He remained to the last, how
ever, an uncompromising Republican on
everything but the Expansion policy.

THE PENSION COMMITTEE.

Commander-in- Chief Stewart has made
a selection for the National Pension Com.
mittee which will meet with wide and
cordial approval.
Col. Z. b. Beath, who did such ex-
cellent work as Chairman last year, felt
the pressure of his great business was
too imperative to permit his serving an
other term. and he was forced to decline

the Committee, was Chairman for three
years. and who boldly inaugurated the
protest against Evans and Evansism, is re-

years, and is very familiar with all aspects
: of the pension question, is second on the
Committee.
The third is Past Department Com
mander Chas. G. Burton. of Missouri, one
OF the ablest lawyers in the State. and
who, as n member of the Committee last
year, did most effective work in exposing
Mr.. Evans's practices, and presenting
evidence of the same to the President
His legal ability, and his knowledge of the
Pension Bureau make him an invaluable
member of the Committee.
The fourth is Past Junior Commander
in-Chief John C. Linchan, whose mem
bership of the Committee dates away bacl
to the 10-years struggle for the passage OF
the Act of June q, 1890, in which he did
yeoman service. as he has always don.
in everything relating to the Crane
Army.
The fifth is Gen. John G. Black, ex

AFTER so years of earnest trial, Yer
mont is about to abandon prohibition and
substitute local option with high license.
The only other alternative is the dispcn-
sary system, which a considerable por-
tion of the people favor. Most likely n
law will be passed initiating those of
Massachusetts and Connecticut, which
will allow the towns to vote annually on
local option and high license. the fees in
the latter ranging from $500 to $1,000.
Special provision will be made in favor Of
