Pensions.
The subject ot pensions occupying a
conspicuous place in the attention of
the public by reason of the heavy ex
penditures of the Government, it is
proper to make two observations which,
it seems to us. covers the whole ques
tion:
First—The pension payments are now
enormous. It requires all the normal
import duties to pay them If they
are increased to any considerable extent
the government will be compelled to re
sort to extraordinary means of raising
* revenue to maintain its credit and sol
vency.
Second—But the people of the United
States are able and willing to pay rea
sonable pensions to all soldiers of the
war who need them and who are enti
tled to them.
There can be no doubt that thousands
of persons who dc not deserve them are
drawing pensions from the I- nited
States Treasury. The proof of this is
that in every State there are many vet
erans who never have received and
never have asked for pensions, and yet
the pension list contains more names
than should be on it if all those who
are entitled to them were drawing
monthly pensions.
While it is right that the Govern
ment should take care of those needy
veterans who by their faithful service
during the war earned the gratitude of
the country, it is wrong to squander
public money on those who have no
just claim to it It is a wrong against
the Government, which must pay all
its bills without overbnrdening the
taxpayer. It is a wrong against the
deser, ing veteran, who cannot get
what is hi-t due because others are
wrongfully receiving what belongs to
him.
With the vast snms which the Amer
ican people are distributing in pensions
it is possible to provide for every de
serving veteran of the War of the Re
bellion. But only let those have pen
sions who are entitled to them. And
let every man who is so entitled receive
his due. If the pension lists contain
names which should not be there and
every indication points to large num
bers of such names-strike them all off.
Clear the pension list of the unde
serving! Put in their places the names
of those to whom in their old age, in-
firmity and disease, the Government
owes a debt which the American peo
ple will take a pride and honor in dis
charging to the last day of the last vet
eran who bore arms under the Stars
and to preserve the Union
which has been established for all time.

THE greatest political event of the
year just passed was the Grseco-Turk
ish war, in which the unexpected effi
ciency of the Turkish army came as an
unpleasant surprise; and has given "the
sick man of Europe" a new lease on life.
In the industrial world, says the Sci
entific American, the year has been re
markable both for the promise which it
gives for the fntnre and the increasing i
prosperity which has marked its course.
The steady increase in onr ex[»orts 1
proves that we are strengthing onr hold 1
on the markets of the world, and in cer- '
„ tain lines we are easily underselling the
foreign mannfactnrer in his own mar- '
kets. Perhaps the most significant s
event was the securing of the contract *
to equip the new underground electric '
road in London by an American firm.
This event caused a positive consterna 1
tion among English electrical mannfac- 1
tnrers. We have also secured large or 1
ders for mining machinery,locomotives, '
etc., from British colonies,the contracts '
being awarded in the face of active 1
competition from the mother country. 1
Oliio Politics.
Monday was a day of great excite
ment in Columbus, the streets were a
mob of excited men; Gov. Bushnell did
not ride with the inaugural procession;
the meeting to protest against the de ;
feat of Hanna, who was said to be one
vote short, was an immense affair;
stories of bribery were pa good around,
and late that night the combiners met
and indorsed Chas. L. Kurtz for both
the short and long ttrms in the U. S.
Senate.
Tuesday morning, early, the State 1
House was crowded, and there was a i
free-for-all rush for the galleries. Both
houses met at 10 o'clock, and in the 1
House resolutions demanding inyesti- 1
gation of bribery charges were imtnedi
ately presented and voted down. There
was some preliminary skirmishing, and
then a ballot was taken, with >ne Dem
ocratic member absent, which resulted (
in Hanna securing •'»<> votes; McKisson ,
49, and Wiley. Warner and Lentz 1
each.
In the Senate the vote stood McKis
son lit, Hanna 17.
_ This gave Hanna 7J5 votes in the two
houses enough to elect hi in on joint
ballot next day, and there was great
cheering for Hanna and cries of "What's
the matter with Hanna." Droste and
Lane silver Republicans of Cincinnati
voted for Hanna. and their votes turn
ed the scale. Several Senators and Rep
resentatives joined In a statement
charging bribery, and demanding an
investigation.
At Wednesday morning's session of
the House there was more brilsry talk,
at noon the Senate came over, a joint
session was held, Hanna had 735 votes
for both the short and long terms and
was fleeted, the Governor sent him his
commission and that was the end of it.
WASHINGTON.
Representative Showalter introduced
a bill in the house to pay a bounty of
SIOO to John M. Turner of Butler that
was authorized under a war measure
and which he never took advantage of.
also a petition of the trades and labor
assembly of New Castle against the
anti scalping bill; also papers urging
the passing of the bill to pension Mrs.
Mary Hollock.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
presented a petition of citizens of Ze
lienople and Butler county, Pennsylva
nia, in ravor of amendments to the in
terstate commerce law.
The President nominated W. Max
well Green for ' 'onsul at Bermuda. Mr.
Green was indorsed by tiie Senators from
Rhode Island, while E. E. Abrams of
Butler was indorsed by those of this
State. The nomination of S. M Turk,

Since the convict labor law of June IS.
181)7, went into effect Attomery General
McCormick has received many requests
for information, among the number be
ing one from the managers of the
Huntingdon Reformatory, who desired
to know what percentage of inmates
may be employed and if the percentage
in any class precludes employment in
the other classes; if the Reformatory
can use machinery in the manufac
ture of articles to be used exclusively
in the instution and if the use of ma
chinery in manufacturing goods is
prohibited in the Reformatory. In re
ply the Attorney General in a lengthy
opinion said that the act applied to the
institution in question, and that if the
managers desired to employ five per
cent of the inmates in manufacturing
grooms, brushes and hollowed ware,
they dare not employ others in the
manufacture of other goods, but if they
decide to employ letis than the number
stated in the manufacture of brooms,
brushes and hollow ware they have op
tion of employing not inore that 10 jter
centum in the manufacture of any
other kind of goods, wares, articles or
things that are manufactured else
where in the State, except that in case
the manufacture of mats is decided up
on, then 20 percentum of the whole
number of inmates may be employed
in such manufacture The manufac
tnre of goods to be used exclusively
within the Reformatory for the main
tenance of its inmates is permitted.
The labor organizations of the State
are jubilant over this decision and
claim that as a result their members
will secure more work and better wa
ges.
Another matter concerning penal
institutions was the report of the Com
mittee on Lunacy of the State Board of
Charities, in which a suggestion
was made for the isolation of the eon
vict and criminal insane. The report
says there are 118 convicts who have
gone insane since incarceration and
156 criminal insane persons in the
State's institutions and the Board is of
the opinion that the Legislature should
authorize the construction of a build
ing of moderate size upon the grounds
of one of the penitentiaries, to be used
for the hospital treatment of the classes
referred to. It is claimed that such a
building can be constructed for $25,000,
convict labor being employed, and that
far better results would be obtained
than under the present system.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, Jan. 11.—The action of
the Pennsylvania branch of the Na
tional League of Business Men In de
ciding to call together for conference
representative business men from every
part of the state Is regarded here as a
very shrewd move. General satisfac
tion Is expressed over this action. The
determination of the league to save
the Republican party from another An
drews candidacy for governor and to
use its best efforts to send a representa
tive Pennsylvanian to Washington in
stead of a politician of the Quay stripe
meets with general approval.
Senator Quay's sneaking methods
were never better illustrated than In
the fight for tax receiver in Philadel
phia, which, for Senator Quay and his
friends, came to such a disastrous close
cn Tuesday of last week. After de
faming Secretary of State Martin for
several years Senator Quay came crawl
ing on his stomach to Secretary Mar
tin within the past three months with
vain pleading for a "fix up" of their
differences. Quay offered to do any
thing if Martin would only turn in ami
help him out on his senatorial fight.
Martin positively refused to n.akt any
deal. Then Quay's friends started the
report that a deal had b-en arranged.
ThU was in the hope of weakening Sec
retary Martin in Phi.adelphia. where
Quay is so lamentably weak himself.
QUAY DECLARES HIMSELF.
During the past two months Quay's
friends In the Ward Leaders' League
have been declaring that Quay was op
posed to their candidate, Newitt, for
tax receiver. But this fooled nobody.
Everybody knew that Senator Quay. In
his sneaking way, v as doing all he
could to help this sar.dbaggers' league
defeat the ;egular Republican organi
zation. 1- the cat came out of th
bag on Friduy last, when, with the ut
most haste. Senators Quay and Pen
rose secured the appointment of Henry
K. Boyer as superintendent of the mint
in Philadelphia.
This was done In the hope of help
ing the ward leaders' combination in
their losing fight. This combination of
city contractors, lobbyists and ward
heelers Immediately began spreading a
report that there were several hundred
places In the rntnt to be given out to
their followers, but this falsehood did
not win a delegate for them. The ef
fect which Quay figured on did not ma
terialize. and so the Boyer appointment
fell flat. It was more than counter
balanced by the withdrawal that day
from the league of William B. Ahern,
clerk of courts and chairman of the
campaign committee of the Ward
Leaders' League.
Now that organized effort is being
made to defeat the candidate of Hon.
"Asparagus" the element in
Dauphin the adjacent coun
ties that Is opposed to bosslsm and
one man power is taking an active in
terest In the matter. Quay is not liked
here In Harrlsburg or In Dauphin coun
ty. This was shown by Dauphin county
going for Dr. Swallow last November.
State Senator McCarrell. one of the
most subservient of Quay's followers,
and who wants to be lieutenant gov
ernor next time, will not be able to
carry the county for Quay and An
drews this year. This much is assured.
ANDREWS WORKING HARD.
For weeks the agents of Hon. "As
paragus" Andrews have been working
In th"s and neighboring counties to set
up delegates favorable to Colonel Stone,
the Hon. "Asparagus' " candidate for
governor. The great majority of Re
publicans have stood ready to oppose
this scheme, but they have been at a
disadvantage because of the absence in
the field of any organization or can
didate around whose standard they
could gather. When the members of the
Business Men's League and other antU
Quay Republicans who Join with them
decide upon a candidate to oppose Will,
iarn A. Stone, the bosses' man, there
will be little trouble In uniting to de
feat the efforts of Hon. "Asparagus"
Andrews to "own a governor."
The work of the political bandits In
Philadelphia who, masquerading as
Republicans, are known as the Ward
Leaders' League, have been threatening
to oppose the regular nominee for tax
receiver, has been demoralizing upon
the party all through the state. The
Independent candidacy of Sheriff Crow
last vear, bis bolting of the regular
Republican convention, lias lingered
thousands of Republicans. Quay an 1
Penrose arc 'equally denounced for not
halting this movement at that time.
The recent uprising In Ohio against
alleged bossism, the failure of Piatt in
New York to control the party, and the
split In Republican Maryland is pointed
to as a possibility of what may happen
In Pennsylvania this year.
QUAY' PRECEDENT FOR BOLT
ING.
Senator Quay and his friends have
established In the Crow campaign a
precedent foi bolting, atid they will
have nobody to blame but themselves
If they neglect the warning of tip!
Swallow vote smash the party and
elect an independent or Democrat to
succeed Governor Hastings. The men
who are protesting against Quay boss
lsm are men who have never failed to
support the party nominee. This has
been a part of their faith, but when
they see the professed leaders of the
parly in Philadelphia Join with the
Democrats, as was the case In the
Cro'.v campaign. It) defeating the Re
publican nominee for sheriff and divid
ing the offices with the Democrats,
they cannot be censured If they refuse
lo follow the leadership of su<h Re
publicans. And esp' elally Republican*
of the stamp of lion. "Asparagus"
(at $1 a plate) Andrews.
THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS NOT
FOOLED.
It has been my privilege since my
last letter was written to talk with a
number of mep representing at least
half 'he counties of the state, who
were In Harrlsburg on business, of
ficial and otherwise. The concensus of
opinion Is that Quay's melodramatic
Utterances no longer catch the farmers.
His cheap talk about "men In blouses"
and his assertion that "the country
districts" are alv.ays for him Is rapidly
dying In point of efficacy. In other
words the country people are "onto
Senator Quay with both feet." The
proponed conference of over one bun
dled representative Republicans from
all over the state with the Business
Men's League In Philadelphia Is looked
forward to with hope by the enemies
of bosrism. There Is no real sym
pathy with the efforts of Senator An
drews to accomplish what he failed to
bring about when Delamater was hla
I candidate for governor In IK9I. What-
ever Andrews may be able to accom
plish In securing de-legates will be
through false promises of patronage,
the use of Quay's name and those
other methods bent known to the gen
tleman with the asparagus appetite
In his campaigns.
Th • independent voters of the state,
who today hold the balance of power,
have confidence' In the patriotism and
Kepublieanlsifi of the men who con
stitute the Business Men's L>eague, and
so they await with interest the an
nouncement of names around which
they can rally in the coming battle.
The meeting of prominent Bcpubil
caiis held In Philadelphia, to which
reference was made In my last letter.
Is separate and apart from this meet
ing which the 1 justness Men's L.eagu*
has undertaken to call. That two great
fori -s should thus be working to the
same end Is the best evidence of the
universal feeling of distrust of Sena
tor Quay and bis methods. There Is
no doubt, however, that these Interests
will be merged and a common ticket
agreed upon.
It< >YKIt'S APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of Speaker llenry
K. Iloyer to the mint Is being severely
criticized. Mr. Iloyer represents no
body but Senator Quay. He was Hen
ator Quay's speaker of the last legis
lature, and he Is the representative of
boss power In politics in the mint to
day. The Evening Telegraph, of Phila
delphia. In dls< ussing editorially the
appointment of Mr. Boyer to this re
sponsible office, says:
"Speaker Iloyer was not made superin
tendent for that reason (his personal
fitness) or for anv other reason that
, ' rennets crefiit on any one concerned.
•• he was appointed because he has al
j ways been a henchman of Senator
0 Quay, and t>ecause his appointment
' was demanded by the latter and by his
colleague in the senate.
' ' "Moreover the change in the mint
■I has been effected at this particular
y time in the belief, which is probably
well founded, that It will have some
influence upon the primary elections
to be held in this city next week. It
will not have any perceptible influence
,f upon the mass of the Republican voters.
_ 1 who have not been going about the
] streets clamoring fcr Mr. Boyer's ap
e ! pointment: but it may be expected to
y hold some Quay workers In line and to
j i keep them up to their work until the
_ j last moment by Impressing them with
e | a sense of Mr. Quay's influence at
e j Washington. If they want anything
I for themselves and their friends they
0 had better "look sharp" between this
time and next Tuesday.
SECRETARY GAGE SORE,
e "There is still another feature of the
Boyer appointment, according to the
3 Washington version of it, which de
-1 serves passing notice. It is said that
Secretary Gage was opposed to a
s change in the mint Just at present for
e business reasons, and, moreover, that
he desired to consult the businesss men
r of Philadelphia about the selection of
a successor to Major Kretz when the
time for the change arrived. But Ma
-1 Jor Kretz's resignation was secured and
r Mr. Boyer's appointment made with
out any consultation with the secretary
1 of the treasury. Such Is the story."

Christmas.
((,'omposition read in the St. Luke's
Ev, L. Church of Saxon burg Christmas
eve Dec. 24, 1897, by Milton Muder.)
We all comprehend the meaning of
' j "Christmas." We all know that it is a
1 : special time for happiness and rejoicing.
. As we give tfifts upon this day as tok
1 j ens of our love, so did our Heavenly
; ! Father give unto us, the great grand
I gift, the Savior. The gifts that we
give cause happiness but it soon passes
1 | away, but the happiness caused by the
j from our Heavenly Father will ever
1 exist. It will remain when the earth,
1 stars, sun and moon have long since
I passed away It will never cease.
Upon this day we recall the great,
1 j grand, old story of the birth of the
Lord Jesus Christ. We sometimes
j think we can look back over the tide of
, years, and hear the angels proclaiming
jto mankind that a Savior is born. We
think we see the sheperds, after they
I heard the glad tidings, making strait
I way for the town beneath the star of
1 j Bethlehem, where the ehrist child lay
huddled in a manger.
As we celebrate the anniversary of
1 that day let us not forget what he, Jesus
'mis done for us, That he bus borne
many sconrgirigs troubles, trials, and
anxieties for 11s, that he has.
for our sake let that cruel
crown of thorns be pressed upon
his brow, that he has premitted for our
sake those cruel nails to Is; driven
1 through his tender limbs into the cross
My friends you cannot realize his suf
ferings for us, that we may inherit
happiness.
Into this life there enters many
j troubles trials and anxieties Vet every
little trouble, every little grief only
j helps us to appreciate happiness all the
more God hath put in upon this earth
for some part in the fulfillment of his
, J law, and we must do our part if we de
sire his blessings.
All ye upon whose brow the wrin
! kles of years have gathf red, all ye
; whose hairs have been long since turn
ed gray, all ye into whose life troubles
, have gathered like stars in the sky, all
Iye from whom dear and precious ones
| have been called away, all ye to whom
. 1 this world seems c< hi and dreary, all ye
that are heavy laden. Your troubles,
i:nd cares every one may be lightened if
taken unto him. the lamb of God. He
! I promises happiness to those who follow
( him. Our life may bo made easier if
I we walk in his footsteps.
j ; As (tod put us upon this earth for a
, ' purpose so will he take us from it when
i this work is complete and have usdwell
', in his kingdom the kingdom of heaven,
r 1 where wrinkles cannot gather, where
1 hnirs cannot grow gray, our dear ones
1 that have gone before will bo unite 1
1 with us and we will be crowned with a
! crown of eternal happiness.
I After we are weary of this life after
* i our work is done God will appear unto
| us with outstretched arms saying "come
I j unto me" and we will be taken unto his
t bosom in the haven of rest.

plea to the public, confident that the
beneficence only needs to be presented
to be met in the generous way the But
ler public always meets such appeals.
They will not be idle themselves, but
will endeavor to earn some of the
money by their own efforts, and there
fore announce a "Chicken Pie Supper
to be given on Friday evening. January
HI. which they trust will lie liberally
patronized, and at which donations will
be thankfully received. Announce
ment of place later.
The initial step towards the opening
up of the work of the Children's Aid
Society of Western Pennsylvania was
taken in May, 1885. when an ageut of
the Children's Aid Society, of Phila
delphia. came to Allegheny county to
present the cause before the ladies of
Pittsburg and vicinity. A meeting
was called in Pittsburg, and the cause
was presented to the ladies. A society
was organized to be called the Chil
dren's Aid Society of Allegheny Coun
ty and Buieau of Information for
Western Pennsylvania.
A board of twenty members was elect
ed. officered by the following ladies:
President, Mrs. judge Stowe; Secretary
Mrs. H. Lee Masou: Treasurer. Mrs. J.
Haworth. For the systematizing of
the work the following committees
were named and the members appoint
ed: The executive committee, the
committee 011 the decision of cases, and
the organizing committee, The execu
tive committee t > hold its meeting lw
fore each monthly meeting of the
board of directors. The committee tn
the decision of cases, whose duty was
to consider all applications for receiv
ing or placing children, to meet week
ly. The organizing committee to meet
at the call of its chairman. The work
of this committee was to organize
branch societies in the twenty-seven
counties in Western Pennsylvania, and
kindred work. The monthly meeting
of the board of direetors was set for
the first Thursday of each month, and
its annual meeting lor the first Thurs
day of May.
For the conducting of this work a
grant of $2,000 was made by the Phila
delphia society from their state appro
priation. This amount was supple
mented by such private contributions
as could be secured by the members of
the board.
Children were taken in and cared for,
entire in suitable or free homes, the
method of the society being to care for
them in the home rather than in the in
stitution. When sick, hospital treat
ment has been secured, unless the child
was too ill to be removed, in which
case a doctor was always in attendance.
When deaf and dumb or blind, aduiiss
ion was obtained into the school for the
deaf and dumb or blind When feeble
minded, admission into the institution
for the feeble-minded at Elwyn, and
later on at Polk, was sought for. In
rare instances admission into Morgan
za has been needed. The work of or
ganizing branch societies in the twenty
seven counties in Western Pennsyl
vania, which had been set off by the
Philadelphia society, commenced early
in the history or the work. Until IHHM
all the societies worked under the char
ter of the Philadelphia society. Then,
as satisfactory arrangements for the
continuation of the work auxiliary to
the Philadelphia society could not be
made, and as the West field is a large
one and remote from the headquarters
of the present society, the board of di
rectors after careful consideration of
the step, resolved to ask for the Chil
dren's Aid Society in western Pennsyl
vania, thus covering the original terri
tory granted by the Philadelphia soci
ety.
The office of the Western Pennsyl
vania Society is in the Dispensary
building Sixth avenue, Pittsburg (the
building in which the Western Pennsyl
vania Humane Society has its offices).
In this office there i»a record that con
tains the names of all children that
have come under the care of the county
societies, f .gotiier with the tranfer
from one county to another.
The quarterly meetings of the b »ard
of directors, in which each county is
represented (tiie number of direct
ors having been increased to thirty to
provide lor the representation), are
held in the Dispensary building, as
well as the monthly meetings of the ex
ecutiye committee At the wish of the
counties it has become the habit of the
society to hold an annual meeting in
lOine of the counties, which lias had a
helpful effect upon the general work of
the society.
In this work we have since organiza
tion, had in care 2,4515 children. Of
this number 910 are now in care, leav
ing 1.540 that have passed from care by
return to friends orgnnrdians adoption,
marriage, coming of age. dentil, and
some few runaways.
As the work has grown the need lias
impressed its self on the society of a
II line where girls tin! come to its care
disqualified by their previous habits of
life for admission to free homes can for
s lew weeks or months, as the net d may
be. receive that training in manners,
morals and domestic habits which will
111 a measure tit th"in for the homes in
which it is the aim of the society to
place them. From time to time for
several years plans have been suggest
ed and discussed. It was finally decid
ed at the lust annual meeting of tl.e
s iciety, which was held at Bidgway,
Pa., June :i and 4, IH!»7, that a property
should be secured 111 a rural district and
that a home or school should be opened
and equipped in a modest way for this
class of girls. For several reasons
Indiana, Pa . was the place selected for
this home. As no suitable property of
fered for rent, it was decided to pur
chase one that had been offered for sale
at a very low figure. The bargain was
closed and the first payment was made
on the purchase September I. IHD7.
This home or school opened on the 20th
of the same month. There are but few
imates as yet, but the ladies are ver>
hopeful of good results from their veil
ture So far the money lias been pro
vided for by private subscription
As is presumably the case with all
charitable organizations, limited sup
plies limited the work of a society.
I'liis is true of the < .'hildreri's Aid Son
ety of Western Pennsylvania While
we have always received state aid we
have always made the amount of our
application as nearly as possible in ac
cord with the actual cost of the work
that the society wishes to do Vet it
has s ei med to !«• necessary for the- l«g
islature to cut down (sometimes nearly
half the amount asked for ) It is hop
ed that the prospective ':iiaiieial pros
perity will render this course 1«■ -s i 111
pcrutive to future legislatures
1 he officers of the society at date are
Mrs. F. 15. Reese. Clearfield, president;
Mrs J. L Anderson, Allegheny, secre
