JUST WHY? to the Democratic nominee, handsome John Condo? Mr. Condo is just as tall as Shady Harter; he is just as good looking as Shady; he is just as intelligent as Sha- dy; he is a sterling Democrat, and Sha- dy is just the opposite; possibly Shady has nearly as good a character as Mr, Condo—now why sohuld any Demo- crat vote for Shady Harter ? em ——————_ pL ———— WANT TO MAKE A BIG GRAB, SOBER WORDS ABOUT PENSIONS, | It has been the rule of the Pension | Department since its organization, | says the Philadelphia Times, to sus- pend the payment of pensions in all | cases during inquiry as to the right of | the pensioner to the pension rate he was receiving. This was no new or- der under the present administration. When the Department received infor- mation that threw doubt upon the correctness of a pension, the payment has uniformly been stopped until the facts could be fully ascertained. There has been no change in the po- | litical complexion of the authority in the Pension Department that suspends pensions. It is still Republican, with and every pension that has been suse publican board and under the that have been in operation ever since our civil war, The present Commis- dents of the Department as long estab- lished, by suspending pensions where reasonable doubt existed as to the cor- reciness of the rating or the integrity of the pension claim. The ruling made by Ex-Commission- er Raum, by which disability pension- ers under the law of 1890 were put in the same class with disability pension- ers under the old law that required the disability to be the result of wounds or actual military service, was overruled by the proper legal authority of the Pension Department, and it is this ruling that has caused the suspension of some thousands of pensions. As most of wholly fraudulent. Commissioner Lochren has properly liberalized the uniform rule of the Department, and will henceforth continue the payment of pensions pending inquiry into their validity. Bo far from restricting the rights of pensioners the present Com- missioner has greatly liberalized them Besides working to capture the sher- iff the Republicans have set out to cap- trol that important board.

Flattering accounts given by those who return, is what arouses so much interest, and the fact that the real expenses of the trip are far be neath what people imagined is what makes so many anxious to go. Every day the attendance is increasing and during the present month it will be at its highest point. AS. tn ———— PENNSYLVANIA crowned herself with glory at the World's Fair, last Thursday.

It is great folly to seek to misrepre- sent the effort of the present Pension Department to make the pension list a roll of honor. There has not been a single pension suspended that was not suspended by a Republican board and upon cause which fully justified This should be commended rather than complained of by every true soldier. | It means that the pension laws shall + ie. | be administered in a liberal spirit, and that no wrong shall come to any vet- eran who has just claims upon the generosity of the government. es—— A we | JUDGE FURST ON TROUT AND RKILLING DOGS, FISHING Judge Furst made two rulings last week in the Centre county | which will be of interest | One case brought before the court was court, elsow here. 'a young man who had been catching speckled trout with a rod, and a line | with several hooks on it. Counsel for | the fisherman argued that as he had { caught the trout with a rod and line, he had not violated the law. Judge Furst ruled that no species of fish was | more carefully protected by law than speckled trout, and that the intent of the law clearly is that not more than {one hook should used to catch them. In the case before him the de- | fendant had used a device more like | an outline than a “rod, hook and line.” | The defendant was found guilty, be i The other ruling was in a dog case, | Mrs. Kate Brown brought suit against | Wesley Straw for shooting her dog. { The animal was a valuable one as it protected her property and she always | took him along with her when she was by herself. The dog went away and strayed into Btraw's barn yard, where he gave a flock of sheep trouble, Straw shot the dog. The judge ruled that while the dog was a valuable one to Mrs. Brown, he was trespassing on | another man’s property, and as the a dog when annoying sheep, the de fendant should be acquitted.
