Pensions.
Theyeterans are taking hold of the
pension questions and are expressing
themselves from time to time against
the abuses of the system. Farnham
Post, of New York, recently passed a
resolution that: “the only veterans en-
titled to pensions. are those who by
wounds or disabilities incurred in the
service of their: country are prevented
from earning a living in their r05pec-
tive callings as they might have done
had such wounds or disabilities not
been incurred, and whose circumstan-
ce‘s are sucha sto justify them in call-
ing upon the bcountry for aid or sup-
pelt. ”
It was further determined that the
resolutions be sent to the President
and to members: of Congress, with a
letter urging 11pm them to use their
best endeavors to have the pension
laws so revised as to make them ap-
plicable only to such soldiers and sail-
ors as indicated above, and to such
persons as were, immediately depend-
ent upon them during or within ten
years after the expiration of their
term of enlistment, and also that all
posts of the Grand Army be urged to
to take similar action, “to the end
that the reproach may be taken away
from the Grand Army, that it is .a
charity-seeking organization and a'tool
in the hands of the claim agents.”

New Blood in the Offices.
The P1esrdent’ announced intention
not to rc- -appoint persons who held
oflice under his former administration,
says the Philadelphia Times, is in ac-
cordaneewith the policy indicated in
the selection of his Cabinet. New
measures require new men. He means
to make his administration a modern
one and in every way up to date.
The policy is sound. Where appoint-
ments may be regarded as the recogni-
tion of political services, it is both just
and judicious not to confine them with-
in a narrow circle, but in this way a
larger number may be gratified. '-
On the broader ground of an efficient
public service, which is Mr. Cleveland’s
chief concern, it is generally true that
men who have been four years out of
office and want' to go back'are less like-
ly to give as good work as can be ex-
pected from younger and fresher men.
The four years’ waiting has not been
in their favor. It has been a quite
usual experience under the late admin-
istration that the old stagers who were
reinstated were seldom able to catch
up with the work that had developed
during their absence.
Of courSc there are many exceptions
to this rule, as Mr. Cleveland points
out. There were some peculiarly effi-
cienp‘ officers in various departments,
whose return to the service would be a.
gain. And equally of course this rule
has nothing to do with the retention of
faithful officialswho could not be dis-
placed without loss. But as a general
administrative policy it may be confi-
dently said that in most of the appoint-
ive offices that are shortly to be filled
with new blood, with no Bourbon 11d
mixture, will be an advantage all
4 around.
Grover Cleveland. President.
In the history of American politics
the career of Grover Cleveland, as com-
pared with that of others who have
risen to the same oflicialcminence,
. stands, says the Washington Post, in
many respects, uneXampled.
He entered the public service at
Washington without any special train-
ing in the schools 'from which states-
men are commonly supposed to gradu-
ate, yet in the conduct of national af-
fairs exhibited from the outset states-
manlike attributes of a high order.
It was never claimed for him that he
possessed in conspicuous meadurc the
qualities of popular leadership, yet, as
w E 11;
no man before had done, he developed
with his other growth the faculty of
swaying a great party at his will.
He was never an orator of captive.
ting eloquence, yet is gifted with a
cogency of speech that on more than
one occasion has compelled a hearing
from deaf and unwilling ears.
There is little magnetism in his tem-
perament as the term is ordinarily un-
derstood, yet time and again the Dem-
ocratic party has yielded to the resist-
less spell of his personality.
He remained at the rear in compara-
tive seclusion during the greater part
of the late administration, yet there
was always a potent suggestion of his
presence at the front.
He was never a politician, as politi-
cians are usually defined; he held the
carded old political methods; he made
himself obnoxious to a large and pow-
erful wing of his own putty ; yet when
came the final test of strength, and
without efl'ort on his part that savored
of partisan aggressiveness, he thrice
captured a nomination and twice an
election to the highest office in the
gift of any people. .1
Mr. Cleveland has won his way to
distinction through apparently contra-
dictory departures from previous rec-
ords, but the mystery of his success is
not so phenomenal as to bafile explana-
tion. 'It was because of his peculiar
characteristics, because of his distinct--
ively independent attitude,
what might have seemed hypocrisy in
others of narrower range of thought
was universally accredited to him as a
brave conviction and an honest pur-
pose. I
He entered the White House as the
first Democratic President in a. quarter
of a century. ‘
He administered the duties of his
office with conscientious and painstak-
ing fidelity, with a clear-sighted regard
to the interests of the whole people,
and in the-mean time had become recog-
er of the principles of tariff reform,
an issue that, notwithstanding the re-
verse of the her t campaign, was destin-
ed to play an important part in his sub-
sequent successes.
‘tlis renomination at St. Louis in 1888
without opposition was no less a tri-
bute to the general merit of his admin-
his supposed invincibility before the
people. He was unquestionably the
strongest candidate that could have
been named at that time. Under any
other leader the Democratic party
would have gone to the wall in the same
way upon the abstract question of
tarifi' reform.
It was not until a Republican Con-
gress in the flush of victory made prac-
tical demdnstration of its faith in pro-
tection by the passage of the McKinley
bill that the popular reaction against
tariff taxation set in with fully devel-
oped and formidable strength, and en-
abled the Democratic party to pave
the way for its restoration to pov er in
1892.
, Long before the Chicago convention
met it was seen that if Mr. Cleveland
were not the “logical candidate,” he
was the inevitable and u-nconquerable
favorite against all possible 'combina-
been avoided. Mr. Cleveland held the
same high place in the confidence of
the people that he so deservedly won
during his first administration; that
he retained without perceptible abate-
ment for the ensuing four years, and
that found voice again at Chicago in
an almost imperative and universal de-
mand for his re-nomination.
It was not that Mr. Cleveland wasin
any sense the idol of the people, nor
from any assumption on the part of his
friends that he alone" would make an
ideal President, that these results were
brought about. It was an abiding
trust in his personal integrity, in his
sturdiness of will, in the perfect patriot-
ism of his motives, in the resoluteness
of his devotion to the public welfare.
The Post says it will cheerfully sup-
port him in measures or policies that it
believes to be in the public interest.
It reserves the right in the future as it
has exercised the right in the past, to
criticise 01- antagonize that which it
fails to appr- w, still trusting and be-
lieving that the wisdom of the people
in again honoring Mr. Cleveland with
the Chief Magisti'ary may be fully vin-
dicated by results.
Likely to Pass.
The bill pending in the legislature on
natural oyster beds will probably be
reported favorably by the committee.
Representative Sherwood, of Easton,a
member of the committee, says that
the prevailing sentiment was all in
favor of the‘ ‘natural growthers. ” The
pending bill will absolutely prevent
any. further encroachment on oyster
beds by the planters and will provide
for a perpetual lease to the “natural
growthers” of all beds not at present
staked off. The bill also provides for
range monuments 'to be erected by the
state at a cost of $400 each. This will
prevent the shifting of bouys marking
the boundaries of staked ofl‘ beds.
Fire at Bristol.
A very disastrous fire resulting in the
death of one man and the destruction
of about $5, 000 worth of property,
broke out in Bristol Sunday morning
in a laundry adjoining the building
occupied by the carriage and wood-
workin shop of N. P. Thompson 82
Sons. he flames were first discover-
ed about 2 o’clock and quickly gutted
the laundry, resulting in close of about
$700, insurance $500. The flames also
communicated to the billiard room of
John Sheridan and did slight damage.
The loss to N. P. Thompsonllt Sons
‘will be about 84,000‘ covered by insur-
once, and to Sheridan about $400
