A Pension Decision.
a ruling which will affect a large
number of cases.
Assistant Secretaiy Reynolds, of the
interior department, rendered one of
the most important pension decisions
that has been made by this adminis
tration. The case under considera
tion was that of James E. Harrison,
!-.te of company M. Third Iowa caval
ry, who claimed a pension for a gun
shot wound in the arm. The princi
pal question involved is that "line of
duty" and the tffect of the decision
will be to reverse a large number of
decisions made during the last admin
istration in which this question was at
issue.
Previous to Mr. Harrison's adminis
tration it had been held in a long lire
of decisions that where a soldier re
ceived a disability while absent from
his command, acting for himself and
for his own pleasure and benefit, that
he was not entitled to a pension But
during the last administration, it is al
leged, there was a material departure
from this well established rule. Some
cases were decided, it is said, in ac
cordance with the rule which had long
prevailed, while in others men were

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. P. D. Hall, 217 Gcnessee St.,
Lockport, N. Y., says : .
" Over thirty years bro, I remember
hearing my father doserlhe tho wonder
ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, acconr
panicd by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
, While some of these medicines partially
allovinted tho coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would scizo me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve
such nights, I was
Nearly in Despair,
and had shout decided to sit up all night
In my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could In that way. It then oc
curred to mo that I had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Tectoral. I took a
spoonful of this preparation in a little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and awoke in tho morning
greatly refreshed and feeling much
better, I took a teaspoonful of the Pec
toral every night for a week, then grad
ually decreased the dose, and in two
I weeks my cough was cured."

What Patriots We Aro (?)
What patriotism there is in this
country is graduaUy working to the
top. Every little while we see evidence
of it. The citizen who refused to go
to the army until his district, or some
fellows equally brave (?) as himself,
offered and paid him a bounty for do
ing so, is now the most clamorous for
exhorbitant pensions. The statcsman(?)
who was in tne hey dey of life during
the war, but kept far away from it,
has now the most to say in keeping
alive the prejudices and sectional bit
terness that should have been buried
with Lee's surrender. The soldier (?)
who joined the "diarrhoea corps" be
fore he got to the front and who stuck
to it until he got a discharge, is the
one whose recollections are the most
vivid of the b'oody battles he nevei
saw and of hardships and bravery to
which he was an entire stranger. The
churches that demanded contribution
on top of contribution, for relief or
ganizations at the front, and whose
pulpits resounded with denunciations
of their own members, and everybody
else, who could not believe that carry
ing on a war was the proper means of
adjusting differences between sister
states, or settling disputes between
our own people, have not forgotten
their patriotism, and thirty years after
the close of the war come to the front
with the bounty taker, the hanger
round the hospital, the stay at home
howler, and demand their pound of
flesh for services rendered the govern
ment in the hour of its necessity.
A case of the latter kind comes
from our neighboring town of Tyione,
where a little wooden church, the cost
of which was less than $1800, was used
for a few weeks during the war for
sleeping quarters for men who were
enlisting in the service. It now de
mands of the government, through
congressman Hicks, $jooo as re im
bursement for its use. Had any one
at the time jts doors were opened to
accommodate the men who were on
their way to the front, intimated that
it was not patriotism or love of the old
flag, that actuated its trustees, he
would have been denounced a traitor,
and pointed to as an enemy of the
government. At that time to doubt
the purpose of those who were de
manding war, or to suspect the ser
vices that were so blatantly offered,
when and where there was no danger,
was to make ones self liable to arrest
and imprisonment as well as to social
and political ostracism.
But time seems to uncover much
that was hidden. And nothing that it
exposes does it show plainer than the
deception, the hypocracy, the pretense
and the parsimony, that wrapped it
self in the flag and paraded as "patri
otism" here at home during the dark
days of the war. Watchman.
