 | will relate some history. In 1874 James 4. Garfield, himself a Union soldier of high rJnk, reported the pension appropriation, and it callel Tor S30,206,77S. Ar. Garfield ap0l.- gized for the bill because tue amount vas so great, and he and President Grant promised that iI should be the high water mark for pensions. Al that time there was no politics in such legislation and 1t was a roll or honor in which all took pride, even the ConfedeTates.
 Both the senate and the house or the FoTty-siXth congress were demo cratic in political complexion Allan C. Thurman was president pro tenn pore of the senate and Samuel J. Randall speaker Of the house of reg Tesentatives. That congress enacted the arrears bill" which sought to uake a merchandise of the soldier vote. There never was pension b.ii that Holman or Voorhees,, of Indiana, would not have voted for. By opera tion of the arrears bill. the pension began to nun from the date the dis ability was incurred, instead of froal the time the claim was allowed. In stantiy tens of thousands of claims were fled that never would have been presented but for this legisla ton. One pension attorney nere ii reputed to have made $2.000. coo pros ecuting these claims.

Since 1865 there has been taken out of the public purse the stupend- ous sum of more than s4,000.OO0.0O1 on the pension acrount alone. l now recolIect the total amount of all prop erty real, personal and mixed -blilea for taxation in the state of kentuck7, when Proctor Knott was governor O. that commonwealth, was about S44V.- GOO. coo. Thus in ioTty-bve years the pcrsicn cormoTant has eaten uI nearly ten states such as hentucAy was in 1884. The present annual charge for pensions is little less fhan S160. .00O,000, and now 1t is pro posed by some of the congressional demag1gues to increase the amount of the annual pension appropriation bx an additional s45 100000, which would swell the total to above SzJy.- o00 OOO a year. This S45.O0OOe0 nassed the house of representatives last winter under a suspension or fhe rules. which required two thirds vote. The senate killed IT, however, though t too, would have passed 1t had a vote been taken cpoa ie
 And thus patriotism and gratitude nave been made matters of mercnah- siee. It is an insult to the brave rnen who fought the war, Tor thi' immense sum was voted the soldier fo seduce his vote. and not for wha' he had done in battle.

 That dealer has an axe to grind. You can't stop his grinding, but you can prevent him grinding 1t at your expense.
 There is one sure, swift way to do 1t.
 Go where you can get what you ask for
 You won't be obliged to do this very often, as fortunately the major ity of druggists are honest and con scientious.
 Newbro's Herpicide has been SO long and fayorably known as the orig inal dandruff germ destroyer that no one sNould he deceived
 When you need a hair remedy. you don't want one which merely prom. ises to kill the danduH germ and prevent the hair from falling.
 You want one that will do it.
 Perpicide does it.
 The hair becomes soft and lustrous There is fife, snap and beauty where formerly the hair was dead, dull and brittle.
 Newbro's Herpicsde is sold and guaranteed by all druggists.
