paro proof. The claimant, with his witnesses, to
appear before the commission and make out his
case, and the commission to cross-examine on
behalf of the United States


There are several vital objections to this scheme.
One is, the enormous extent of territory which
necessarily must be allotted to each commission,
even if the number be increased to more than
sixty. and, consequently, the onerous charge laid
upon each claimant for pension, of travelling ex-
penses for himself and witnesses. time lost in
waiting for the action of the commission, delay
and necessary cost of living at the place APP
pointed for the examination both for himself and
his witnesses, and the further fatal fact that no
means are provided by which he can compel the
attendance of his witnesses before the tribunal


Many pension claimants, nay, most of them,
are in absolute poverty many are widows, living
day by day upon daily labor; many are children,
without means and without support, wholly un-
able to travel fifty, one hundred, or two hundred
miles themselves, and absolutely poweress to
induce the witnesses to attend.


Take the great States of New York or Penn
syvania for instance Not more-than three dis
tricts can be formed in these and the pensioners
or claimants for pension are scattered all over
the State in halnlets far off the ordinary routes
of travel and distant from the point selected for
holding the commission To such persons this
scheme amounts to absolute denial of their claims


Take, again, the number of claimants in each
of these districts who will be notified to appear
and suppose that they do, in fact, appear. What
long and weary waiting, at personal expense
before the case may be reached


Take, again, the ordinary fact, that the indi-
vidual witnesses whose testimony is requisite to
prove the case, are scattered in different widely
separated districts. each to be examined by the
commission in each district; and thus the claim
ant even if able to attend at the place of his
own residence, cannot, by possibility, attend at
the examination of his own most important wit
nesses


Mr.. Bentley has looked at this plan, as is nat
ural, from the side of advantage TO the Govern
ernment only. But the pension laws were not
made for the benefit of the Government but for
the benefit of the pensioner; and the Govern
ment has no right to throw unnecessary obstacles
in the way of the Claimant; especially has it no
right TO crowd out the most meritorious, because
the poorest, class or claimants by regulations
which, in practice, forbid the assertion of just
and equitable claim, by requiring an expenditure
of time and money which their straitened means
will not allow


Ii such Commissions are to be appointed, their
number must be very largely increased, and the
Commissioners must visit the pension claimants,
not compel the claimant to come to them; and
such work can scarcely be done by any force
much less in number and expense than the pres
ent system of examining surgeons

The fact that the Central and South ern Pacific railway companies build railways in every direction they can from San Francisco and their main lines, invites much opposition, and necessarily puts them in the category of mOnOpolies. That they take all ad- vantages their great power enables them to do, is quite natural. Their Southern Pacific is now practically in Arizona, and they want to push it east ward with as little delay as possible; :; but to do so, they want either some compromise with the Texas Pacific or legislation by Congress. Compromise seems quite doubtful just now and there is a strong effort 10 prevent leg islation. The St. Louis Republican is on the war-path and lately sad:

 A friend of the Republican writes from San Diego, California, to call at tention to a letter in a San Francisco paper indicating the active exertions that city is making to get control of the mineral regions of New Mexico. Arizona and Sonora, and thinks the Republican should warn Missouri members of Congress against support ing any railroad bill that will give the Central Pacific control of the Pacific end. The fact is, however. that Mis- souri Senators and Representatives in Congress understand that already. They don't need any warning to ap prise them of the fatal blow they would strike at Missouri interests if they should vote for any measure ben citing the Central Pacific.

 We hope the Missouri people will give us a road, or let the company do it which stands waiting the opportuni- ty. Let's not have dog in the man ger fight. Arizona needs a railway through from east to west or vice versa.

There were thousands of dollars

nessee OIL account of attention
Bees fixed up on the plan / have
given will come out stronger, say by
the Ist of April, than when you put
them in winter quarters. When
you can avoid it bees should not be
handled when it is so cold they can
not fly. If you have not put your
bees into winter quarters yet, you
had better be ready to do so the
first warm, pleasant day. Do not
neglect your bees any more than
you would any other stock, for they
are as profitable as any other stock,
if not more so, considering the
amount of capital invested, and with
attention they are less subject to
disease. To keep them from freez
ing is the object through winter,
and not let them starve in early
spring; then they will board them
selves and give you handsome in
come. j. B. BRAY.

There is but little good in man.


His leading characteristics are de-
ception, envy, jealousy and prejudice.
When such devlish principles are al
lowed to remain in mans bosom,
what good can come from him.
THE heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked"
Can a man be honest and envy his
neighbours surroundings or acquire
ments? Can a man be honest and
deceive his neighbor? Can a man
be honest and with green eyed jeal-
ousy scrutinize his neighbours ac-
tions? Can a man behonest and
allow religious or political prejudice
to blind his reason, embitter his
speech, fire his eyes, and cause the
bitterest expressions to be hurled at
a fellow-man? o mani here are on
ly fonr OF thy characteristics. These
are common to every man, and only
by long, persistent effort, with a de
termination to subdue them, can
they be overcome. So long as a
man is dishonest he accomplishes
but little good. either for himself or
society. He is teaching his children
to be dishonest; he is giving his in
fuence to build upSatan's prospects;
he is giving blows continually to
Christ's kingdom, wounding the
cause of that Redeemer who never
deceived, never had an envious feel
ing,and who never entertained a pref
udice. To be honest as this world
goes, is to be one picked out of ten
thousand. Now, every man profess
es to be an honest man, but we
know that such is not the case.
We know, though, that every man
ought to be honest; and let us ex
anime ourselves, and be that ONE in
ten thousand about whom Shaks-
peare wrote.

If movable comb and a one
story, cut two division boards to fit
lengthwise of hull inside just the
depth of hull, place the boards, say
one and a half inches from the main
wall, then pack the spaces between
division boards and hull with chat.
Now we have a double wall hive
which cost but mere trifle. Then
select enough comb to fill space be-
tween division boards with the bees
on the comb. For a good average
colony of bees should have not less
than twenty pounds sealed honey.
Twenty-Five pounds is enough TO
winter heavy colony. Now we
have the comb and bees back in the
hive, we must give some protection
above: Take a plank three or four
inches wide, cut two pieces just the
length of the main hull of hive, and
two end pieces the same length of
end of the hull, nail these pieces to-
gether as you would a box-one
nail to each corner is all you need
to hold it. Use this frame or box
as you would a second story. If
you consider it too much trouble to
make a cushion of chaf, which
should be made to fit the inside of
hive, you can use piece of domes-
tic. Spread it over the comb, and
it will do for one season. Fill the
box we propose to use as a second
story with dry chaff or hay-wheat
chaf is preferable, as it will absorb
the moisture arising from the breath
of the bees, and which if not alb
sorbed will freeze in very cold
weather. BY doing this the combs
are kept dry all the time which is
of great Importance. II you keep
your bees from starving and from
freezing you need fear no trouble.
Now place the cap of the hive on
and you have your bees nicely and
comfortably housed for winter. If
you are using two story hive it is
not absolutely necessary to make
the box above mentioned, though it
makes the hive more compact, is
very cheap, simple to make and is
as handy or more so for winter


ing purposes, and then we have

combs ia until next season, when

fixtures are removed. Preserve the
division boards and the box, for
