Senator Oallingcr ICukeH the Atl luiniMt ration's Pension Record. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—As an in dication of tbe unpopularity of Secretary Hoke Smith's conduct of the Pension Office not a voice was raised in the Senate to-day in de fence of it, although it was very severely arraigned by Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire. He introduced a bill providing for the reformation of the present system of paying de pendent pensioners, and made that the subject of a bitter attack on the course of the present Administra tion in regard to pensions. Senator Gallinger said his bill was intended to remove every objection to the proper carrying out of the dependent pension law. Ho paid his attention to what he considered the arbitrary exercise of power by the Commissioner of Pensions in his recent suspension of certain pen sioners. He said there was no legal ground upon which the present Commissioner could annul and set aside the actlou of his predecessor as he had done. He read at length the laws re lating to the suspension of pensions for fraud and other causes, and claimed that Com missioner Lochren's action was not taken in conformity with any of them, but that ho and «>■«» Voo*otnry of the Intorioi? l»ncl overstepped the authority with which they were clothed by law in suspending any pension without fol lowing the statutes expressly pro vided for the guidance of such of ficials. Senator Gallinger asserted that none of the suspended pensioners had been given the privileges guar anteed them by law. He said the claim that former Commissioners of Pensions had indulged in similar practices was not true. No Com missioner had ever suspended a pensioner unless he was in posses sion of proof that the beneficiary was enjoying privileges that had been secured by fraud. He quoted authorities to substantiate his claim that no executive officer had any right to reconsider the decisions of hir predecessor unless he brings suit to test their validity, lie then devoted himself to an analysis of the pension system now in force and paid eloquent tribute to the soldiers in whose behalf his measure was submitted. Mr. Gallinger's bill was referred to the Committee on Pen sions. ; Dick Bennett, supervisor of Shrewsbury township completed that part of the new Loyal Sock road in Shrewsbury twp., on Tues day evening. Dick says he has done a good job and trust that the people will appreciate it. He has worked on an average of 9 men daily, for the past 30 days and the cost of the grading in Shrewsbury, foots up to about four hundred dol lars. "Boj's," said a sage old veteran to some comrades, "lloke Smith of Georgia is boss at the Pension Bureau, and Representative Moses, also from Georgia, has now been made chairman of the House Com mittee on Pensions. Boys, I say in '64 we were 'marching through Georgia,' but Georgia's called the turn on us at last. Georgia's now marching through us." Mr. B. F. Bivins, a mining en gineer of Guanajuato, Mexico, came tip from Philadelphia last week to spend a few days with his family. Mr. Bivins is an ardent admirer of the sister republic and speaks high ly of its people and business possi bilities. He returns there in a few days, and soon after will be joined by his wife and son, now engaged on the W. & N. B. 11. R. Miss Eva Lewis of Mahanoy City ? is visiting frlend9 in Laporte.

ELKLAND ITEMS. DEAR REPUBLICAN :—Your newsy sheet came to us this week and we liave decided not to part company, and we think that every Republican in the county, and Democrat too, for that matter, ought to subscribe for the REPUBLICAN, read it weekly, pay for it annually, live at peace with God, and as much as possible with all mankind. We should now be pleased to hear from Brother Gardner. The annual picnic of the Bethel Sabbath School, was held in Glide well's Grove Aug. 30. The day was beautiful and a goodly number was present and after the brief exer cises, enjoyed a beautiful repast, and fell back in good order with the tables still loaded. Several persons from a distance were present, many of them former residents of this town, and all seemed to enjoy the good things, and especially the social element, which was a marked feature of the occasion. The Park-a-pog steam mill will soon be moved to a site near Eldred ville. J no. Fox the stalwart Can adian now stands at the lever, and we can't make him believe that old Robert Burns "Tam O'Shanter,'' ever had an encounter with the witches. R. F. Bartow has moved from Millview, to rooms adjoining G. S. Messick's blacksmith shop at Estella. Mr. Bartow is making preparations to build on his lot in "holler." Mr. C. F. Iless is experimenting with a wind mill, as a motive power to run farm machinery, grinding feed, etc. If Carl don't succeed we don't know who will. Any one wishing to see F. R. Barnes, J. J. Webster or Isaac Rogers, during the working hours of the day, may report at their tobiiccu olicds. The Ladies Aid Society of Estella, met at Mrs. Maguire's last Thursday and made the lady happj as happy as could be. F. ESTELLA ITEMS.

More, fell from a lumber wagon last Saturday after noon and fractured his collar bone. Dr. Chaffee was called in and made the little fellow as comfortable as possible. As your correspondent "F" last week presumably did not know the particulars of the Pomona Grange, held at this place—l beg leave to differ with him in some respects. On account of the rain on Thursday a number from Collcy and others from Bradford county failed to reach here. Thursday a. m. there was a fair attendance and a very interest ing session. With all the hard rain, there were fourteen visiting Pomona member present. Mr. and Mrs. Philander Firman and a Mrs. Firman, from South Creek, Brad ford county, were delegates from their Grange. They made a very pleasing report from their Grange. Two county deputies and their wives and others. They did not ap pear to be very much disappointed, only in some not getting here to confer the Fifth degree in full, but expressed themselves well pleased. We had a very interesting session Friday forenoon. Brother Caldour, from Ilarrisburg, exemplified the unwritten work and brought out many good points, for the good of the order, with discussions and re p>rts on different topics. The Grange Hall was well filled with in~ telligent and attentive members. The visitors from a distance, ex pressed themselves anything but disappointed, and parted with the wish to meet again at the same place, to hold County Grange in the near future. This is not, "I heard HO," but by a granger who was there. X. JERE. KELLY'S COLUMN. Hardware, Is NEEDED every day of the year.
