The other interests which are clam
money paid out for pensions can well
afford to wait. Reclamation has been
overdone for the present, as one read
lily understood when last Summer $780,
900 bushels of potatoes were sold at
Denver for 10 cents bushel. The pota-
to is the only thing that can be raised
on irrigated soil for a year or two
until the soil gets fastened down. Be-
fore that time the high winds blow
the cover off the seed so that il will
not terminate. We may, therefore,
wait n few years for the people to get
thoroly settled down ~on the lands
which have already been brought I'M
der irrigation before expanding money
on reclaiming other large areas. 1t is
the same with improvement of the
Western rivers. for which from $780,
006, 600 to S50,000,000 are clamored for.
The rivers ought to be improved GER
tainly, but is it not well enough to
wait until the rival factions as to the
method of improving them will agree
ch SoHie one pan lney nave been
told very pithiiy that the best way to
get appropriations for their rivers is
to make increasing use of them. The
use has been decreasing steadily for
so years The great Mississippi
River was once crowded with great
steamers penetrating as far northwest
as the Yellowstone River, and as far
east as the Allegheny and the Monon-
gahela. Now where once three or
four great steamboats, were generally
in sight at once on the Mississippi, one
steamboat seems as lonely as the peIi-
can in the wilderness, and it's mighty
commerce has dwindled to about $780,
600 tons year, or less than that of the
Columbia River and other streams of
which few of us hear. We can well
afford to take breath and time to con-
slider before lavishing millions on these
projects. The veterans cannot afford
to wait. The Mississippi will be there
and just as ready for improvement 10
years from now as today, while 500, 900
veterans viii have passed to the shad-

Comrades O. N. MCGEE. of Philadel-
phia, and 5Myron Wood, of Youngstown.
o.. II representing the United States
Manned Soldiers League, have been in
the city for three weeks, looking out
for, :. the interests in Congress of the
League. Comrade MCGEE is Secretary
of the League and Comrade Wood is on
thel Committee on Legislation. They
have petiti9ned the President and
memhers of Congress. and labored
faithfully to influence Congress in favor
of the measures which the League is
anxious TO see passed into law. They
desire to secure a rating of SIS for
those who have lost a leg at the hip
or an arm at the shoulder, $40 for those
who have lost a leg at or above the
knee or an arm at or above the elbow,
and Sos for those who have lost one
hand or one foot. The committee feels
sanguine that 1t will secure these pen
sions.

TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

We are all impressed with increasing
carefulness as to our words. and each
day brings forth additional warnings.
Some years ago the Populists were ac-
cused of expecting to graft the cent?
pede on to the hog so as to get 100
hams for each animal II we are to
place any confidence whatever in what
appears in the New York American, it
would seem that Florida nature faker
has taken this quite seriously, and in
some way has evolved a pig which will
have six legs instead of four. The
breeding process by which he gained
two legs on the hog is not revealed. and
we do not know whether the cent?
pede method was tried or not. The
man who is said to have achieved this
remarkable result is Samuel John, a
well known farmer of st Augustine, Fla.
OF course Mr.. John will not stop with
pig than four. but will probably go on
Indefinitely until the Populist dream of
a pig with 100 hams is realized. OF
course Mr.. John rightfully feels HIM
self a public benefactor inasmuch as
his invention will reduce the high cost
of living and make pork cheaper. The
announcement creates quite furry in
the agricultural world. If six-legged
hog has been developed, why not six
legged sheep or horse, or a four-legged
chicken? We do not know whether
these improvements would be desirable
but at least they are worth while
thinking about. We admit that for a
while the comic element would enter
into the spectacle of a four-legged
chicken or a six-legged horse, but even
these would tend to increase the gaiety
of the world and make life more en-
joyable

4 Nights Raid.

Editor National Tribune: In jan

Church, the rations were pretty slim.
The boys of mess No. and planned
a raid on the Government bakery to
draw a barrel of flour therefrom with
out requisition from the commissary.
The scheme worked all right until on
their way back. One of the boys got
scared at what he took to be provost
guards and broke for his tent. kicked
his shoes off as he came in the door,
and was Immediately sound asleep. One
of the other boys routed him out to
help get the flour in and hidden. 1t
caused us and a lot of innocent boys
some grief in a hard afternoons diyi-
sion drill next day, as there were IS
barrels of flour gone from the COM
missary and all were suspected. A
search was made, but no flour was
found. We lived as long as our flour
lasted. While our division (Second,

tiers at McAfee's we had contraband

sacred Goldfish even. and our old ac-
quaintance, the benzoate of soda, hobs

has allowed Goldfish to be sprinkled with
benzoate of soda to preserve it, and all
the packers of Goldfish are to state on
the label that there has been used in
its preservation pure sea salt and four
tenths of one per cent Of benzoate of
soda. This can be removed by rinsing
the fish for five minutes and then soak

salt is taken out, fresh salt can be
added. Since this permission was CIV

A strong light is thrown upon the
special pension bills by figures fur
nished by the Pension Bureau. There
were 5000 special acts passed by Con-
gress, but the list was only increased
about 1000, because there were be-
tween 1000 and 1000 deaths among
the special pensioners. The death rate
among these IS about $50 per thou
sand, where the rate among those APP
pearing under other laws is only about
20 per thousand. This. in turn, is three
and half times as great as the ordi-
nary death rate in the United States
which is 20 per thousand.

DEATH OF PAST CO,IMANDER-IN.
CHIEF MENUS.

The deepest sorrow must pervade not
only the Grand Army of the Republic,
but all of those closely associated with
it, at the news of the death of Past
Chief Henry N Nevius.
at Red Bank. N. j., last Saturday even
ing. Comrade Nevius was an ideal
Grand Army man ana illustrated in
every act of his life the ruling prin-
ciples of our glorious Order. He
served most creditably as a private SOL
der and a commissioned officer, and
lost his good arm while braveIy fight
ing for the immediate defense of Wash
ington, under the eye of President Lin
coin, Taking into civil life his I'M
swerying sense of duty, his fidelity to
every trust and confidence imposed in
him; with "a mentality of the highest
order, he achieved an enviabie sue
cesssin his profession of law, and for
mary years held an honored seat on
the bench of New Jersey. Whoever
knew him, esteemed him as man and
a citizen of the highest type, true to
every relation in life. and one who was
a credit to his community and to the
splendid army of citizen soldiers. As
lawyer unfinchingly true to his clients,
a devoted husband, public-spirted
citizen, and firm, faithful friend.
In the Grand Army of the Republic
his standing was equally high. His
fraternity with the rank and file was
no mere lip-song, but an influence
which permeated every act and con-
trolIed all his life. A comIade was n
man for whom he felt the affection of
a brother. and he would go any length
for him, without question or tergiver-
sation. In his Post, his Department,
and in the National Encampment he
was always present, Jealous and watch
full of every step. careful to the ut
most of the interests of his comrades
and the Order, and untiring in his
labor to promote those interests.
After having held various subordi-
nate positions, the office of Commander
in-Chief was conferred upon him by the
almost unanimous voice of those who
knew his worth, and from that moment
ne llNeu ofIy Tic ne iIltI-
aIly wore himself out in his labors as
Commander-in-Chief Altho his health
was far from good, he travelled across
the continent several times in arranging
the National Encampment at Salt Lake
City and spared himself no labor over
any detail. The struggle with the rail-
roads was pitiably exhaustive to him,
and when he left Salt Lake City on his
last visit prior to the Encampment his
the comrades. Unknown to him they
sent two physicians to watch over him
on his return home. His indomitable
will brought temporary recovery. and
he presided over the Encampment at
Salt Lake City, with his old-time dig
nifty, force and ability. This effort
made a severe draft on his powers but
again he recovered. only to succumb
at the third assault.
1t may be said with truth that he
wore himself out in his service for his
comrades His death was directly due
TO that service. We haze only this con-
ISOLATION: that in Comrade Nevius's life
and death, we can point to a comrade
who illustrated every good and high
attribute Of the American volunteer
soldier The, country was much en-
riched by his having lived.
