Thi Coit ef PenaloM , "
Pittsburg Pot. " .
What Garfield en id cn tbe
floor of the Hoiw less than
twenty-five years ago about
pension payments is an old
tory, butjt.is particularly
pertinent now. When a bill
carrying an appropriation
of thirty eight million dollars
for pension payments was re
ported Garfield defended it
on the ground that the pen
sion account for the civil war
had then reachedjthe highwa
ter mark and4that from that
year it would constantly ie
cede until.it disappeared a
comparatively few years, See
retary ShawVannnal report
shows that the payment on
account of pensions was the
.greatest iridiyidualitem of
cost ol tbe goverment 'ofthe
year over a hundred milUons
more than it was when Gar
field declared it had reached
its bigh wo ter mark. Against
pensiou payments of $138,
425.000, for the yeorthe pos
tal servicecost 1134.224,000
the civil and miscellaneous
account was $ 124.944.000,
the War Department, f 118,
619,000; the Nayy'.f 82,618,
000; tbellndiana,: f 12,935,
C00, and interest on the na
tional debts f28,556 000.
But tbe pension payments
-this year shows a decrease of
several thousand ovei those
of the precding year. It is
doubtful however that this
decrease 'will be continued.
Commissioner Ware has
made himself extremely un
populat by closely scrutiniz
ing pension claims and he is
slated to leave th office be
fore the Presidential elec
tion is held.
A VERY CLOfcE CALL.
"I stuck to my engine, although
every jount ached and every nerve
rvnn racked with pain" writes C,VV.
lietlamy a locomotive fireman nf
Burlington Jowa. "I wan weak nnd
pule without any nppctite and ull
run down ' As I wa nhout to give
up I got a bottle of Electric Hitters
- and after taking it I felt us well as I
ever did in my life." Wenk sickly
run down people always gain new
.life strength andlyigcrfrom tneirue
Trv them. Satisfaction guaranteed
by M, B. Blackburn.
An old Revenue officer of
GeiHgia who has served in
this capacity for 25 or 30
years expresses the belief
thnt blockading or illicit dm
tilling will ever be stopped.
There is such a big profit in
the business that ns soon as
nne is cougbtnnd imprisoned
Hnother falls in to take bin
place. o it will ever be:
ffcaHttlrfrrf ttrlst.'
As to the exact date olt'hrfat's
hirth we are in total darkness
even tbe month In which he vwns
born has been lost. 'Tis strange
that the most important event
in the world's history that one
link of the chain is missing. Why
we know not. Some have said
that an all-wise Providence so
ordered it to keep an idolatrous
people trom becoming "day-wor-shippers."
One up-to:date writer
says that Dec. 25 was set as His
birth-day to break up a heathen
festival held at that time centu
ries ajro. Why should we care to
Know? It may come to light yet
hidden away on stone or papyrus
it may be waiting the right time
to come to light. 'Tis nice to Keep
one day in memory of the King.
If we never flud out in this lile
perhaps some time on some sweet
isle of rest lashed by the waves
ol eternal Peace, I can tell you
when it was and you can explain
to me the mystery ol "The morn
ing star first san g together and
all the sons ol God shouted lor
joy, We now see through a glass
darKly.'

On Christmas eve a farmer
living at Hollonvilla N. Y.
killed his three motherless
children and then killed him

way to get Christmas for bis

the cause.
SAVED FTOM TEER1BLK DEATH.
