Politics,

S. Hofmayer, 49th Mass. Stockbridge,
Mass, says that the old soldiers are, like
The National Tribune, neither Repub-
licans or Democrats. They vote as they
fought, for the good of the whole peo-
pie. William j. Bryan says that the
President is carrying out Democratic
principles. He does nothing of the kind.
On the other hand, he carries out the
Constitution and laws and acts passed
by Congress. He can do nothing else.

Object to the Stars and Bnrs.

]. NJ. Wells Post, Columbus, o., has
passed resolutions declaring that the
practice of display of the Confederate
flag on public occasions and especially
to the exclusion of the Stars and Stripes,
Is reprehensible. 1t tends to keep alive
the sentiment of disunion which should
have ended with the war, and to extend
the belief that the country is still di-
vided, and therefore the Confederate
soldiers, to whose valor and sincerity
we are ever ready to bear testimony,
are appealed to 20 lend their influence to
the suppression Of this unwarranted disc
play.

Pensions to Widows.

Benjamin Urton, 7th KY. Cav, Han
ly, KY, thinks that the discrimination
in the pension laws against widows
who married old soldiers is right. He
does not believe it right to encourage
young women to marry men old enough
to be their fathers or grandfafhers
with the understanding that at their
death they are to get good pension
thru life or until remarriage. Our law
makers were wise in making the dis
tinction. He has seen too many young
girls marry old men to be at al; favor
able to the act. Every widow who mar
ried veteran before the act of 1890
should be pensioned, but the practice
should stop there. His father was in
the War of 1912 and died in 1870. There
was then no pension for those soldiers,
but he received land warrant FOR $50
acres of land, and his widow after his
death received a pension of SS per
month from September, 1879. This

The Work Of Developing the Great Re-
sources Begun in Enrnest.
There has been ever since the war
much earnest talk in manufacturing cir
cles about utilizing the great water
power in the Appalachian Mountains
south of the Potomac. 1t has been
clear to everyone that here were sources
of wealth equal if not superior 10 those
which have been turned to such splen-
did account in New England. Soon after
the war the attention of New England
cotton manufacturers was strongly turn
ed in this direction, and it was believed
that cotton manufacturing could be car
ried on there to better advantage than
in New England, since there was an
abundance of cheap labor and the fac
tories would be nearer the cotton fields.
This idea has been carried out with re-

Capt. G. e. Finney, who was Adju-
tant of The 18th Ind, and now lives at
Martinsville, Ind, is circulating a petit
ton for a service pension of $40 a

Two patents issued by the Patent Of
fee illustrate the impracticability, if
not worse, of many inventors. These
two patents are for railroad brake
shoes, and one of them proposes to
diminish the friction on the shoe by
oil supplied from cups in the brake,
while the other would save friction by
the use of rollers in the shoe. mas
much as the object of brakes is to pro-
duce friction, the inventors ideas rise
to the plane of the ridiculous.

SCIENCE And INVENTION.
Work of the Worlds Busy Brains in Discovering, nentng and
= Creating.

1t is singular how inventors to-day
are still working on the old ideas for
perpetual motion which have beer tried
and exploded hundreds if not thousands
of years ago. Fred Sholdenberger, Of
Paradise, Pa, has devised framework
upon which he has a wheel with II
hollow spokes, each ''s" shaped. In
each spoke is laid bullet, and nine of
these roll to the ends of spokes. while
eight remain at the axle of the wheel.
Thus he claims that the wheel will be
kept going by the weight of the one
additional bullet. This idea is as old
as Archimedes, if not older, and the alb
surdity of the thing is that the bullets
on the ascending spokes will have to be
Fitted until the sloped ends get to be at
such an angle that they will roll back
to the axle. This seems so plain that
it is wonderful that the inventor does
not recognize it.
