Harnun's Philosophy indicated.

The late I'hineas I. Barnum. of bless
ed memory was not only the greatest
Snowman the wolll ever saw, but he
was Il good deal Of a philosopher. At
least two o. lis dictums are immortal
People Ioge to be humbugged" and
a sucker Is born every minute. He
believed implicitly in those propositions
and by acting on them built up a large
fortune If he could revisit the glimpses
Of the moon he would be surprised at
the way ii which Mrs. Chadwick has
vindicated and illustrated his cynical
philosophy. The manner in which she
has pulled the wool over the eyes OF
solid business men makes the world
wonder and recalls the words of Puck,
what fools these mortals BET. She is
a genius and deserves a place alongside
OF the architects Of the south sea buO-
bic and the tulip craze.

Of course there could be no more fitting

their fortunes for titles, perhaps they
now think that they may recoup their
fortunes by selling titles to American
men. The plan seems to be that The
president of the United States and the
British king shall make up Jointly il

Civil Pensions.

Civil Pensions.
Many persons more or less wise and
more or less richly endowed with
powers of vaticination have for. To-
these many years predicted that the
life tenure system under the SO called
civil service reform laws would end in
a civil pension list. This has always
been scornfully poohpoohed by the So
lar Walk and Milky Way propagan-
dists of that fad. Those who have OBJ
served occurrences here, however, have
known for some time that the civil
pension system had friends who in
tend sooner or later to fasten it ON the
taxpayers of the land Now comes
Representative Reeder of Kansas and
at least has the courage of his convic
tions. but he is not the pioneer in this
species of legislation. There are Others
In brief, Reeder's bill provides kind
of half salary for those incapacitated
by age or otherwise the other half of
their salaries to go to what he desig-
mates as substitute clerks" who are
half salary If Reeder could assure
anybody that his substitute clerks
would not be soon demanding and re-
ceiving full pay his bill would be hail
ed as creating system far better than
the present system which has for
years, without any warrant of law,
produced d long line of pensioners from
the civil walks of life at full pay, for to
carry on the rolls at full pay a person
incapacitated by age or other infirmity
for service is for all practical purposes
to pension him at full salary. OF
course the civil service reformers will
deny in full chorus that there are any
such cases, but nevertheless Mr..
Hemenway of Indiana, at present
chairman of the house appropriation
committee soon to succeed Mr.. Vice
President Elect Fairbanks in the SEN
ate of the United States, stated in a
house debate some two or three years
ago that 10 per cent of all depart
mental clerks are incapaeitated by age
from rendering any service worthy of
mention. About a year ago in run
ming fire debate he raised the percent
age considerably 1t is to be presum
ed that Brother Hemenway knew what
he was talking about and was not try
ing to make it worse than it is, for his
party must be held accountable largely
for the present condition of affairs.
No man can give any adequate rea-
son, none whatever, why an employee
of the government on the civil list
should be pensioned. No slur or abuse
or attack upon said employees is here
intended, for as Il rule they are estima
BILE folk, clean, sober, well hammered,
but the country is full of estimable
folk, clean. sober. well hammered, who
do not hold government positions and
who are taxed to pay those who do.
They are to be found in every walk Of
life. from the highest to the lowest, i'll
which men and women toll for their
daily bread Why not pension them
also when incapacitated by age or 9th
er infirnity from earning a living?
They are is deserving as the govern
ment employees. AS a rule they work
longer hours at harder tasks for less
pay.

Brother Crumpacker of Indiana, hav-
ing retired from the senatorial race in
Hoosierdom. will discover, so soon
as he has time to look around and is
able to sit up and take nourishnent,
that his laurels are III danger For
some Years now he has been posing as
the friend par excellence of the down
trodden coIored man and brother and
has several times introduced resolu-
ton looking to the reduction of south
ern representation in congress by rea-
son of what he is pleased to denomi-
nate the suppression of the colored
vote. In this way he has managed to
keep his name i'll the newspapers to an
extent which must have aroused a
feeling of intense jealousy in the souls
Of other aspiring Republican states
men. Up to date in the house Br'er
Crumpacker has had sort of monop-
oily in posing as the defender of the
colored brother But among the I'M
usual features of the late landslide
was the resurrection of Hon. j. War
rem Keifer of Ohio, ex-speaker of the
house of representatives Most peo-
pie supposed that General Keifer was
not only dead politically, but also phys
ically. He is. neither. Nov. s he was
once more elected to the house and he
has announced that his mission is to
redress the wrongs inflicted on the
colored man and brother by barbarous
white men, AS the general will re-
enter congress with that prestige which
attaches TO an eX-speaker he is quite
likely to seek to overshadow Judge
Crumpacker. which would be simply
awful That there will be fiercest ri
valry 'twixt these Republican worthless
cannot be doubted Perhaps their am
billions may. in colliding, block the
game of both-a contamination devout-
ly to be wished.

There is one sentence in President
Roosevelt's message which should sink
deep into the mind of every citizen of
the republic 1t is this: The cost of
doing government business should be
regulated with the same rigid scrutiny
as the cost of doing private business, :
which is a trite saying, but absolutely
true 1t is so easy to be generous with
other peoples money that the temp
tation is constantly before the faces
of representatives and senators to be
extravagant i'll appropriations. This
being true the presidents utterance,
while containing nothing new, is time

needed

ed by Bro. Wynn and his remains
were laid to rest in the Shady Grove
cemetery Friday evening at o'clock
Their many friends extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
parents.
Fair and serene Friday dawned,
The day of peace and rest;
Oh! fitting time for this sweet child
To leave his mothers breast.
For in October, six years ago,
Upon Sabbath day,
They laid him on his mothers heart,
Where he hath lain Away.
All! in that hour did she divine
He was treasure lent,
And after him with tender love,
Her eyes were ever sent!
GLOW hung she on each prattleing
word,
What deep JOY and serene
Shown from her face like pictured
saints
A matchless mother queen.
God knew she could not give him UP
Till days of trial sore
Had robbed her boy of his proud
strength
And changed the looks he wore.
mo, with that glorious dover of
grace,
That form so 1.-THE and brave,
"Twould sure have rent her heart in
twain,
To lay him in the grave"
So only two weeks of wasted pain
Had changed her darling fair.
And when Gods messenger drew near,
"Take gently was her prayer.
Calm and peaceful the beautiful sun
Sank in the FURNISHED West
Calm and peaceful the sweet child
Passed into Heavenly rest.
"The eye of faith was given me
To see the angel fair
Who bore the spirit to its home
Up through the golden air."
And now l know in meadows green
BY waters pure and still
Where neither tears nor suffering
The dear child walks at will
The angels lead him by the hand,
Christ holds him on his breast.
Oh, mother fond! could e'er your love
Here give him such rest?
Rejoice! Rejoice the years will flee
The time soon come again,
When he shall lie within your arms
An angel free from stain.
Rejoice! Rejoice! and yet my tears
Belle the words / say,
So keenly in this hour feel
Thy anguish this bright day."
Go weep no more-fnd some sweet
spot
Some lone and lovely dell,
Where you can lay the cherished dust,
And say, ''my child, It's WE'LL"
And whatsoever you think CT him,
Think not upon his clay,
But of the angel hosts of Heaven
Where he shall dwell Away.
