auoma PENSION am. varo.
At the opening of this session of congress
President Cleveland, urged to the surprise
and regret of:many of his party supporters,
the enactment of a general pension act
for the relief of worthy indigent soldiers
in these words :— ‘
Every triotie heart responds to a ten-
der consi oration for those who, having
served their country long and well, are
reduced to destitution and dependence,
not as an incident of their service, but
with advancinga e or through sickness
or misfortune. c are all tempted by
the contemplation of such a condition to
supply relief, and are often impatient of
the limitations of public duty. Yielding
to no one in the desire to indul ethis,
feeling of consideration. I cannot rid my-
self of the conviction that, if these ex-
soldiers are to be relieved, they and their
cause are entitled to the benefit of an
enactment under which relief may be
claimed as a right, and that such relief
should be granted under the sanction of
law, not in evasion of it ; nor should such
worthy objects of care, all equally en-
titled,beremitted to the unequal oper-
ation of sympath , or the tender mercies
of social and pol tical influence with their
unjust diseriminations.
The President’s arguments for such an
act seems to have produced so favorable
an impression that a bill covering the
exact conditions referred to so pathetically
in his message was formulated and passed
by over a two-thirds vote. Congress
exactly respbnded to the President’s rec-
ommendations giving relief to dependent
parents and honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors who are now disabled and
dependent upon their own labor for sup-
port, such dependent condition not being
caused by misconduct on their part. It
was stated that the generous provisions of
this bill would release over 7,000 such
soldiers from the poor houses of the sever-
al loyal states, and though the President
had vetoed scores upon scores of individu-
al pension bills it was not supposed that
he would stultify himself by vetoeing a
bill of his own outlining, yet such is the
fact. Just before dark Friday evening he
rushed his secretary to the capitol with
his prolix veto message, so full of self-
contradiction, pettifogging and special
pleading, that many democrats even were
disgusted with it. Whether true or not,
it is charged as usual that the “mental,
moral and physical wreck” who acts as
commissioner of pensions at $5,000 a year.
and draws $100 a month for his “wreck-
age,” inspired the veto. His objections
seem to be various. It comes too soon,
and will cost too much, being among the
chief. In answer to the first named ob-
jections, of course there are not as many
of these destitute old veterans now in
potter's field as there will be ten years
. . hence. In reply to the last feature of his
objection to the bill all congress has to do
is not to diminish but devote the present
tax income on whiskey or tobacco, and
there will be funds enough in the treasury
to meet all the demands of the measure.
The bill giving a pension of $12 a month
to all soldiers having served in any war
was signed by him because,'it is affirmed,
that bill 10!: in snefl’soldion no lind'srrbse-
qently served in the armies of the rebel-,
lion, and was the only pension act aiding
rebel soldiers. That bill did not exclude
even millionaires if any such there be in
the catalogue, yet the President, consist-
ent only in his inconsistencies, signed that
bill with a most cheerful alacrity. While
no man need pay a farthing of the tax on
which this bill was predicated unless a
voluntary user of those democratic lux-
uries, ”rum and tobacco,” it would make
it impossible to repeal the war tax on
those prime democratic articles, ' and thus
the howl of anguish poured into the
President’s ear by his party managers,
and hence the veto. Following are the
guarded provisions of the vetoed bill :———
Persons seeking to obtain the pension
provided by this section must be now or
hereafter _
1. Suffering from mental. or physical
disability. ‘
2. Such disability must not be “the
result of their own vicious habits.”
3. Such disability must be such as “in-
capacitates them for the performance of
labor in such a degree to render them un-
able to earn a support.”
4. They must be depcn
daily laborxfor support.
5. Upon proof of these conditions they
shall be placed on the lists of invalid pen-
sioners of the United States, and be en.
titled to receive for such total inability to
rocure their subsistence by daily labor
. 12 a month.
So we have the novel spectacle of a
democratic President denying to those
destitute soldiers who saved the nation
from rebel destruction, and thus enabled
it to become the richest and mightiest on
the globe; denying the means to rescue
them from almshouses and the burden-
some support of towns and cities, because
it prevents the possibility of reducing the
tax on "rum and tobacco.” So mote it
be. The soldier element of the country is
still powerful enough to make every just
demand on the nation’s gratitude heard
and felt. 0

No definite statement as to Secretary
Manning’s intentions is obtainable. He
has been informed of his election as presi-
dent of the Western National Bank, of
New York, but has stated that he‘ is not
at liberty to declare his intentions. It is
said at the White House that there has
been no change in the situation. It is
generally conceded that the appointment
of Mr. Manning’s successor is only a
matter of a few weeks at the farthest.

Mr. Randall is reported as antagonizing
the appropriation of $21,000,000 for coast
defenses, as provided in the Hewley bill,
on the ground that it would be extrava-

guns, pending the revolution that is now
going on in the manufacture of such ord.

that $10,000,000 would be ample.

Friday night‘s session of the House a bill
granting a rcnsion to'thc widow of the
late Samuel Burdick, private in Company
A, 18th Conn. Vols. ' Mrs. Burdick is per-
fectly helpless, and since the 'soldier‘s

She is sixty-seven years of age.
A varo.
It is not deemed possible to pass the
lidigent soldiers’ pension bill over the
veto, although it was originally carried
by considerably more than a two-thirds
vote. The reasons are obvious. There
are but fifteen more working days in the
life of this congress and no time for per-
suasive debate. Many democrats voted
for it originally supposing it was a
cherished measure of the President’s after
his unequivocalrecommendation of such
a bill, but who will now reverse their
action on purely party grounds and with
the desire of acting in harmony with the
President. Anumber of others, and of
both parties, will not vote for its passage
over the veto on account of detters re-

Superintendent Stevenson Resigns.
Superintendent W. H. Stevenson, of the
New York Division of the Consolidated
road has resigned, to 'take effect March
lst. The Standard says: Mr. Stevenson
was appointed superintendent 'of the
Shore Line road thirteen years ago, and
after eight years‘ service there was made
superintendent of the New York division.
It is said positively,but without citing the
authority, that Mr. Stevenson will accord-
ing to the former talk, he made general
manager of the New England. One paper,
without mentioning any name, says his
rssignation|is that he may “accept a larg-
er, better and more responsible place
elsewhere.” The resignation is to take
effect March 1. The next meeting of the
directors will be on the second Saturday
in March, and it is announced that Mr.
Stevenson’s successor will be appointed
then. The Sunday Union says: “Noth-
ing positive can be learned as to who his
successor will be, but the story, started
some ‘weeks ago, that it will beTicket
Agent James N. States, gained much cre-
deuce last night. Vice-President Reed
was asked last night who would be Stev-
enson's successor. He said that the sac,
cession had not been definitely settled,
and he didn‘t wish to name the gentleman
who had been considered as available for
the position."
Supt. Stevenson declares that the rela-
tions he has sustained with the emcers
and directors of the Consolidated road
have been always‘of the most pleasant
nature and that the discipline he has es-
tablished and carried out among the em-
ployers is evidently satisfactory to the
management,’ as the directors at a recent
meeting voted to increase his salary hand-
somely. His resignation, he says, was
the result of careful delibeaation and was
only made after consultation with the di-
rectors of both the New England and
Consolidated roads. There was apros-
pect of his accepting a still better position
soon

Prohibition ii. Iichigan.
The prohibition question is exciting
great interest in Michigan, the legislature-
having voted to submit the adoption of a
constitutional prohibition amendment to
the people. If prohibition shall become
the law of Michigan, and the law shall be
enforced, the United States will lose
about $620,000 annually in internal taxes.
Detroit liquor men are badly broken up
Over the submission of the prohibition
amendment, fearing that it will be :carried
at the polls. There are several problems
to be solved connection with the adoption
of the amendment. Legislation will be
necessary to carry the prohibition amend-
ment into eflect, provided it is accepted
The present legislature
can do nothing about the matter, for the
reason that the fifty days allowed for in-
troducinga bill or giving notice of bills will
have passed before the vote is taken on the
amendment. This means free liquor un-
til the next legislature convenes in 1889,
or else it means the calling of a special
session. A large number of wholesale
liquor dealers will move out ofthe state
if the amendment is adopted.
Deserts His Wife.
Mrs. Charles H. Brown, who lives on .
Orchard street, has the best of reasons for
believing that her husband has deserted
her and their little babe. Mr. B. left his
ife Monday night, ostensibly to visit his
'mother who lives in the borough, since
which time nothing has been heard from
him other than the return by express from
ew York of a satchel that he had “her
rowed” without use much as by your leave
from his landlord, Mr. Wordin. When he
- went to housekeeping, like many other
men in similar circumstances, he bought
some of his housekeeping goods on the in:
stallment plau,but un Ike many other men
found his salary of 812 a week inadequate,
to pay his bills, several of which are held
in remembrance of his sudden departure.
However, he was a sober and industrious
an, evidently lacking though, the will
pgwer to fight life’s battles in harness.—

But these things belong to the art at speak-
ing largel , and may be with or without au-
thority. eaus astonished not only by parable,
illustration and argument, but by what he was.
There' was a something behind the word, a
character,a force which seemed to defy analysis.
He was majestic when abused,calm when storms
were wildest about him, patient amid perso-
cution, devils feared him and entreated .him
not to approach. but little children ran to him
as a retreat, and found a home in his arms. He
confused the doctors, baflled the scribes and
appeared to know more ol the law than those
who professed to keep it so very inviolate. lie
drew the populous about him and beget in
them feelings of loyalty which were akin to
adoration, and then, just as they were making
him the lion of the hour, and were ready to
make him king, he turned and rebuked the
people for some great injustice or popular
wrong, until they fled away, and hid themselves
againin the favor of their canting priests or
their corrupt governors. The degenerate
scribes, those wily gamblers in the laws of God
and man had 'ven u: the spirit of religion to
the cold formalism an pretense of the letter.
No wonder then, that a character so nobly
true to the real things of mercy and truth, so
simple and yet so grand, confounded them.
They were artful and cunning in their evasions
oi solemn and heavenly truths, they were tech-
nical and superfluous, and absurd often, in
their interpretations. They reduced, by analy-
sis, thc things of God, to such contemptuous
conceits and forms as to flatter and pulverize
everything of beauty which religion could
' Their casuistry excelled their logic ; the tem-
ple, or the gold of the temple, was more to
them than a human soul; tithing of mint and
rue more than the giving of aims, their soph-
istrics were only equalled by their hollow and
heartless .ggofessions. Jesus could not teach

was. that this great force, this omnipotsnt
thunderer of truth, put himself across their
track and upset their plans. He stood out
against the low, sluggish, almost dead stream

come unto me that ye might have life.” "Ye
are from beneath-I am from qbnve."

No matter if a man does not chime with oth-
er men. No matter if he does contradict the
past, and in mulling room for himself push
over the lumber of tradition, all about him, if
only he speaks the truth. If men can say, “we
know thou art from_God, and teachost the ways
of God in truth,” it is enough. The ages to
come will recognize him. and he shall stand in
line with the true prophets of the past. Jesus
came, asking men to look deeper than form, to
go beyond the mere letter of the mile and go
twain with him who asked. He wanted charac-
ter to be changed from a bloodless mummy
into a bright and living force of divine sweet-
noss and truth.
If he used analysis 'or system, it was in the
form of such familiar story or illustration that
the simplest soul might grasp it. I like that
lucid, spontaneous statement of fact and prin-
ciple, that so flashes the truth into your mind
as to pulverize your abstruse and metaphysical
propositions into dust. Jesus spoke to the
soul. He uttered words about whose inspira-
tion men have never had to quibble or equivo-
cate. When he said. “blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see God,” human conscious-
nose and, “aromas Father for thus it seems
good.” And herein is that saying of the proph,
st of Bruhtou, F. W. Robertson, verified-
“things are not true because Jesus said them.
but he said them because they are true.” He
spoke to.the heart, appealed to the higher and
nobler life of every man, and “all men bear
witness and wondered at tho gracious words
which he spoke.”
"From heaven became. of heaven he woke,
’Toward heaven he led his follower’s way,
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unveiling an immortal day."
Again, the authority was with Jesus of the
prophetic insight, and the uympathetic life.
His own knowledge of men and their needs,
gave him power over them. He told them of
things which must come but which could not
come in their day. The ever enlarging vision
—for he himself grew in wisdom, lifted him out
of little and loca and restricted phrases. The
man who can be reduced to a class or a school
who was sent off to some school and educated
by some sort of convict labor system, mechan-
ically, and yields his spirit to the dry tone and
unsympathetic teaching of some bigoted the-
ologian, will not have much authority with
men. Show me the man whom providence has
never wounded and hurt, who never wept hot
tears, who never cried himself to sleep over his
own and ancther’s sorrow, who has not gone
oh and complained to the rocks‘and trees in
loneliness, or prayed that he might die, one
who was never misinterpreted, misunderstood,
and spurned by the rabble, and I will show
you a man who can’tgpreach much.
Regulate our minister, make a proper man
of him, bin upon himsuch of form and con-
duct as the fastidious demand, but, it
you chisel him at last into.cold statuary if you
educate the heart out of him, and keep him so
sacredly environed that the world’s sharp
needs and bitter hunger do not strike him, men
will admire but never embrace your status.
Nay, let him have all that the schools can do
for him but do not build up around him a stone
wall of rule and system, and respectability that
shall shut out the .ight of nature and the sun-
shine of God. Let him talk to, men of the
birds the sparrow that the Father watches, the
lily that he clothes, the brother who must pass
loving judgments. the shoe that is lost, the

have a ken at least of the authority of charac-
ter an truth and madly. Jesus had also
the au.hority of (one. ' he man who loves has
authority tospeak on other men cannot. Had
Socrates, Plato, Anstctls loved as Jesus loved
their systems would never have gone be ing
for acceptance. Thoy touched men butd not
control them. They impressed men but did not
change them. They kindled tires, but the fires
want out when they ceased to blow upon them
and renew. Jesus came not so much to create
as to recreate. Not to abolish the good things
of other men, but to ‘transfigure. Not to
quench the smokin flax of the old world
rehgiop, and the tail. of the Persian world, but
to fan into living and eternal flame every noble
precept, every exalted ideal and every tender
guilty of the past. 0 tender, yearning, living
hrist, thou art the embodiment of all past
virtue, beauty and grace; the living exponent
and the dying site-tater of God’s love to men!
Thcu_hast authority. Imperial as a king, com-
manding as a potentate, yet simple as a child, .
tender as a mother. Truly, thou art the
hght of the world!
The world has need to day of a preaching
that shall em beams the demands of character,
truth. love. a nerd to translate prece t into
principle, and to believe in principles 0 right-
ousness which shall make themselves felt in
all the activities of life. We have need of a
church that shall ‘ve the statutes of God liv-
ing lorce. h the b eless lives of her people.
To ggve col. rules. the glow and heat of the
spiritually intensified man or woman who de-
hghts to do God’s will.
Whatever also your preacher is, let him be
real in what he does and says. Let your pas-
tor be_ what Carlyle was wont to call his Goethe,
“a universal ilnan." Let him_have goom for
coura , man y aggressive,u ttere cou e.
Let his speak to men’s hear-It’s:a and iromnfiis
heart in known way. Do not ask him to be—
come an ecclesiastical retailer of other men’s
nothings. To keep a little fruit stand in some
obscure corner, but let him wholesale and
have great-ships coming from all worlds of
truth, to him, and a stock that shall not be ex-
hausted by one man's purchase.
Let him not he stinted to the pattern of a
“poodle,” afraid of everybody, and led by a
etrmgegweari-g the gold-plated collar, of those
who live in kmfi’a houses. Nay, lotliirn grow
into the oolcssa sharacter and power of a man
who thinks, hopes, lines. and works for eternity.
A man who moves with the ages. A soul, whom
to touch, is to find sympathy and life.

At a recent meeting of the directors of
the New York, New Haven and Birtford
railroad company, it was decided to build
a new bridge in place of the on} now

The matter was left in the hands of the

$390,000 of the bonds had been secured to

impracticable to carry outithe preferred

. sun. does not blaae tn yonder still heaven, to
beat down and kill. but to draw forth and up,
and out of - the dirt. and soil the blossoming

above us in the spaces, and sheds his love
upon us, only to draw us little man up. out of
weakness, out of temptation, poverty and sin,
to himself.
All the true superiority a man has or can
have. is his personal power to lift up other ,
men. To make them better. Let him do it no
he can. He and he only, shall br my minister,
beloved and reverned, who can make me het- l

say, “the spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

the captive, and recovering of sight to the

God has given diversity of operations but
the one spirit, whether it be apostle, propct,
teacher, or the_fettered soul of some poor sick
child. too feeble to go forth and work in the
great vineyard as other work.
Everything is for the perfecting of the saints,
the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the

Bolieau’s horses was going unattended from
Comins’ blacksmith shop to his .tables on
Tuesday, a lad camedown from the drive-
way leading to Denis’s mill, crossing his
path at right angles. The horse politely
turned to the right, but the boy’s course
was beyond his control, and he shot un-
der the beast striking one of its hind feet,
throwing the horse upon itsside, when it
slid over a length upon the snow. Neither
boy nor horse seemed the worse for the
