i
. PENSIOiNS.
During1 the reign of Grover I, many
attempts were made to purge the pen
sion lists of those unworthy and not
entitled to the. bounty of the govern
ment. Every euch attempt was greeted
by the republican speakers and press
as an attack on the loyal veteran, the
bloody shirt was frantically waved
aloft and all old soldiers and their
friends were urged to join hands with
the republican party and help it put
down the tyrant and his cohorts, who,
if not checked at once, would deprive
every aged and infirm veteran of bis
just reward. Remembering all these
things, wc are amazed to see that an
effort in being made by the present ad
ministration to do the same thing.
The fact is that this is simply a matter
of business and should have beea at
tended to long ago. The loyal veteran
who -is justly entitled to a pension,
does not want to see a fradulent pen
sion paid, and it is to be hoped that it
will no longer be used as campaign
thunder by the republicans. No dem
ocratic, republican or populist plat
form has ever been adopted containing
a plank reff erring to - the old soldiers,
that did not demand just and liberal
pensions for the deserving, and the
republican party no more contains all
of the friends of the old soldiers than
does the democratic or populist. This
nation is a unit in its demands for not
only justice but liberality. So let us
have done with cant and hypouracy
and admit what we all know to be true:
that the question of pensions is not a
party one, and join hands in exposing
fraud, even though it ba in the pension
list.
One of the questions that is agitat
ing the statesmen of this country is the
annexation of Hawaii. The Graphic is
furninst. Outlying territory means a
largely increased navy and an increace
in the standing army, with many new
foreign complications. We are in favor
of these United States as they stand,
and no more new territory unless it
lies adjoining that which we now have.

We wish to call the attention of the
readers of the Graphic to this publica
tion for children. It is quite usual,
even in families where there is plenty
of reading matter, to find nothing for
younger people and they are forced to
read the average papers with its sen
sationalism, scandals, murders, etc
The Great Round World is a weekly
newspaper for boys and girls contain
ing current history in a clear, concise,
and entertaining form; it is as interes
ting to the ''grown-ups" as to the
children.
After reading the dailies during the
week, we often get the clearest and
most comprehensive account of some
important event in the world from this
publication. Try interesting the boys
in the world's history that is beiny
made all the time by getting this paper
for them, For sale at M. DeTar's.
The authorities at the State Agricul
tural college have decided to introduce
the dairy course during the winter
term. No effort will be spared to make
the work such as to be of great practi
cal value to all interested in dairying
or the creamery business in the hand
ling of cows for other purposes. Farm
ers and farmer's sons interested in tins
work will lind that cheap scientific
schooling and instruction in this line
will be given. Tuition is free and ex
penses can be made to be very light.
The college is admirably fitted to
handle this work.

fund commission had purchased. The
holders of the bonds brought a man
damus suit in the supreme court to
compel him to do so, and the court de
cided that the treasurer is not requir

be detrimental to the interests of the
