FOOling the Old Soldiers.

Congressman kipp's political scheme,
in falsely pretending that he was nstru-
mental i'll obtaining pensions in cases
which he had never heard ui until the
pension was granted, is an imposition
on old veterans. The game is worked
in this way Mr.. Kipp asked the Pension
Bureau tn notify him of all the pensions
granted to claimants in this district, and
upon receiving such notice. sends it, with
letter, to the successful claimant,
which implies that he was the means
through which the pension was obtained.
n man who resorts Ia such false repre-
srntatlons, for the purpose of adding
prestige t" his political campaign, is un-
likely To he trustworthy in other matters.

JUGS AND ,JAGS.

A late issue of the Herald contains 4
cute little editorial about jug of Homes
dale whiskey, which some Democrat
sent to Salem with NJ. Lee Braman's
card attached, for the purpose of injuring
his political prospects. AS the jug con-
tanned Jag which nearly killed Demo-
cratic voter, the Herald is trying to fix
the blame on Mr.. Braman. If the Her.
aid is honest in its reform movement
against Democracy's strongest vote getter
it could very readily call its readers at
tention to the large number of Jags con-
tanned in the Jugs which are wholesaled
by "The Equal Rights to All" candi-

THE HORSE WON.
Beat the First Locomotive on the 3.
and e.. Road.

Beat the First Locomotive on the 3.
and f.. Road.
The first locomotive on the Baltimore
and Ohio had salis attached So did
the cars These sails were hoisted
when the wind was in the right direc-
ton so as to help the locomotive.
The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses was very bitter, In August,
1880, an actual trial of speed was held
between horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives, which did not result in
favor Of the locomotive The race was
Cd the Baltimore and Ohio, the Iocomo-
tive being one built by Peter Cooper,
who also acted as engineer.
The horse, a gallant gray, was in the
habit of pulling car on a track par
allel to that used by the locomotive
At first the gray had the better Of the
race. but when he was a quarter of a
mile ahead Mr.. Cooper succeeded in
getting UP enough steam to pass the
horse amid terrific applause.
At that moment band slipped from
a ..,:.ey, and, though Mr.. Cooper LAGER.
ated his hands trying to replace it, the
engine stopped and the horse passed II
and came in the winner."-Van Nor

Papa" began Gunston junior, when
the government Of the United States
began to coin gold and silver money
It was necessary to buy the gold and
silver, wasn't it?''
Eyes, my son." replied Gunston SEN
Tor rather cautiously.
"Of course, papa" resumed the
youngster, you'll be able to tell me
where the government got the money
to buy the gold and silver"
"Why-er-of course" stammered
Gunston senior as he put down the pa
per and gazed thoughtfully at the boy.
SNow, let me understand you. The
government wanted to coin money, and
In order to do so it was necessary to
purchase gold and silver. You want
to know where the government got
the money to buy the gold and silyer?''
That's right chuckled Gunston
junior gleefully, and great joy filled
his being as he thought of his all i'm
portant sire struggling with the simple
question.
why, sonny, the government simply
issued dollar bills and bought gold and
silver with them. Anything else?'
YES" said Gunston junior Where
did the government get money to buy

Weekly.
