PENSION DECISIONS
by the Assistant Secretary of
the Department of tho
Interior.

MARRIAGE AND DrvORCE-EvI.
DENoE.-It having been admitted
by appellant that both she and
the soldier ON account of whose
service and death she claims pen
sion, had been married previous
TO their marriage to each other,
it is incumbent upon her to es.
tablish the dissolution of said
prior marriage by either death
or divorce before she a be re.
garded as the lawful widow of
said deceased soldier.
NAVY PENsIoN-NAvY HosPi.
TAL.-The naval home in Phila-
delphia is a navy hospital within
the meaning of section 1918 of
the Revised Statutes, and pen
sion due to inmates thereof must
under the provisions Of said sec
ton, be paid to the Secretary of
the Navy.
DISLOYALrY. - The records
of the War Department show
that claimant, a citizen of Iron

ember 3, 1864, and confined at
Alton, III. until March rs, 1865.
when, with other Confederate
prisoners, he enlisted in the T..
5. Army.
HELD: That such record raises
the presumption that claimant

allotted the late rebellion against
the authority of the United States
and the burden Of proof is upon
him TO show the contrary.

what Secretary shaw Really
Said.

There has been quite a lot of
comment by the Democratic pa
pers on the speech made by Sec
rotary Shaw before the recent
Virginia Republican State Con
vention. OF course they give it a
twisted construction, especially
that part on the tariff. In order
that our readers may take all
that part of his speech in con
nection we print just what he
said:
The parties separate primari-
ly on questions of political econ
omy. Every industrious citizen
is both a producer and a con
sumner. The dominant party APP
pesls to the producer, 1t tells
him that the question of greatest
importance to him is the price at
which he disposes Of his pro.
ducts, whether those products
be labor or the results of labor.
The opposition party promises
the American consumer the best
market in the world in which TO
buy. The Republican party
promises the producer the
best market in the world in
which to sell.
Gentlemen, we can not have
both. Our political opponents
may promise high-priced labor
and cheap products, high-priced
wheat and cheap bread, high
priced cattle and cheap meat,
but they make these promises
without possibility Of fulfill
ment. Whenever they have put
their policies in operation we
have had the cheap products of
labor, for the products of cheap
er foreign labor have found our
markets in superabundance.
But cheap products of labor
means cheap labor. Cheap fac
tory product carries as a con
comitant curse low wages for the
artisan, and low wages for the
artisan means curtailed con.
sumption of farm products.
Curtailed consumption Of farm
products results in a reduction
in the price thereof, while a re-
duction in prices means less TO
the producer of clothes. Of fur
niture, of carpets, of farm ma
chhery, Of building materials
and every other article Of rural
consumption. All this is but
another name for stagnation and
panic which has marked every
experiment with tariff for reye
nue. only from the beginning Of
our history until now.
The disastrous results of free
trade have not followed each ex
with free trade because
they were desired by the men
who advocated the measures that
produced them, but because the
measures yer unwise. however,
learned, however patriotic and
honest the men who en-.
acted them. We are a codepend.
people. When prosperity
blesses our shores the laborer
and the employer of labor. the
Iarmer and the consumer Of farm
products, the merchant and the
banker, all prosper"
In other words, when We pre-

HyOmei Cures catarrh by Breathing
Aromatic Healing Air.
You cannot afford to risk per-
manent loss of health by tax
ing strong drugs into the stom.
ach in the vain hope of curing
catarrh of the nose and throat.
The only true way OF curing
catarrhal troubles is by the use
of Hyomei, which is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit.
1t kills all catarrhal germs
and restores the mucous MEM
brane of the nose, throat and
lungs to a perfectly healthy
condition.
The complete Hyomei outfit
consisting of a neat pocket in
haler, a medicine dropper and
bottle of Hyomei. costs but

obtained tor so cents. It Is not

"A LITTLE LEARNING
Is a Dangerous Thing" When In The
Hands of IndiScrete Man,

Ine eultOr Oh the t1lgn SCHOOL
Museum Literary Department
will hardly say: The records
of Congress of the U. s. A. do
not prove that for brain, cul.
ture and Drawn, the Southron
is not the equal of any man.
He breaks out again with rid
icule for terms used by the
Southrou and Western man. lg-
noripg the fact, those gentle.
men have the same right to in =
vent or use specific terms that
New Highlander has. While
a Western man may not round
his points" ala, Depew, his
short words convey an idea
that ring the bulls eye."
A ranch" is not a farm any
more than a farm is a garden
patch or a truck patch. There
is neither grain produced nor
farm labor on it. But 1t is a
large grazing ground for cattle
or sheep and the term ranch is
specific, not general.
And the gentleman takes a
crack" at stampede" If he
could but realize the word de-
scribes a result and not the
cause, he would have saved his
sneer.
IT the editor knew more about
''rope" he would let Harriet"
alone. Commerce and the
world knows rope" as of vege-
table fiber and yet historians
and poets are so illiterate as to
use the term, (speclfic) Cabal
and hawser to differ eutiate.
The Harriet is of hair or raw
hide and for the specific pur-
pose of lassoiug or picketing
stock and some times used at
"neck.tie parties. S."
And a "dugout" is an other
specific term. Steamers, sail
boats, canoes and dugouts are
all boats, but as the true dug |
out" is boat partially dug and |
burned out of a log, |
It has the same right to it's
name as skiff has and it is no
more outlandish.
Then again "dugout" may
mean a mans habitation just
The same as a stone, brick,
:rame or sod house. The dug.
out" is used by advance civil
cation where other materials
ire not obtaiuable and some
lines men of broken fortune,
out of culture are found living

The gentleman should not
conclude, because many things
