TIIK new Peneion Commissioner is appointing Democrats as pension examining surgeons a good deal faster than lie is issuing pensions.

A YOUNG minister has been detected in the heinous offense of picnicing at the Shndee on Baccalaureate Sunday. This is as reprehensible as fishing on Decoration Day.
COMI'TKOI,I.EB ECKELS has appointed more receivers for insolvent banks in three months than his predecessor appointed in as many years but his party is not boasting of the fact.
THAT movement for reciprocity between the United Slates and Canada ought to be kept up. These countries should be able to stand a close approach to free trade with each other.
TnosE old soldiers who voted against Ilnrrison because his administration did not issue pensions more rapidly are beginning to realize that they jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

CLEVELAND'S idea of making a clean sweep of the civilian Indian Agents and giving the places to army officers is a good one. The average Indian Agent is a bad egg and his elimination from llie service can not fail to be beneficial.
Mn. Cnrsp refuses to answer questions us to his position on the matter of the Sherman law repeal. He is afraid to commit himself, as he ie an aspirant for re-election to the speakership. This is ooward'ce of the rankest sort, and proves Hint Crisp is not a fit man for this post.
THE Civil Service Chronicle speaking of he apparent power of Dan Voorhees in this administration says, "it is the most astonishing fact of Mr. Cleveland's second Presidency. If the appearanc is true, the old truth will come home bitter to the President thul he can not serve two masters. lie cannot serve the people of this country and Dan VoorllHOH."
A I'1'AUENTI/Y Cleveland thinks it would bo cruel to Congress to call it in session in the hot montbB. In 18G1, however, it met right in the hottest part of the hot season, on July 4, and it did good work, too. The personal comfort of a few hundred Congressmen should not be allowed to outweigh the interests of the rest of the GO,000,000 inhabitants of the countrv.

It is a small matter to this paper who gets the contract to make a snrvey, furnish the material or perform the work. We recognize the fact that before any permanent public improvements of any kind is entered upon that sewerage should have the preference. THE JOURNAL, has taken the position that sewerage is necessity and in presenting the argu ments in favor of suoh work we have not questioned the motives of those who have opposed it. In all questions affecting the public interest the widest latitude should be given in their dis cussion. If a man can give reasons for differing from others he should give them to the beet of his ability, but there is neither logio nor sense in impugning the motives of those who may not see the question as he see it.

A SHANGHAI FARM*
Not a Place for Broedinsr Poultry, as Its Name Might Imply.
A Rftreat LA California Where MM Are Abducted and Shipped Sailors While Under the lufluence of Drink.
A few people here will no doubt be greatly interested In knowing that there .is a "shanghai farm" within a few hundred miles of them, Bays the Oakland (Cal.) Times. Very few people have any idea of tho manner in which a man is abducted and pat on board a vessel in tho stream, and fewer still have any idea that a gTeat deal of such work is done from the Oakland side, because thero is no water front patrol here.
The manner of shanghalng is very simple. When a captain requires a crew tho law demands that he shall siga them before a proper officer. This is done, and each man Is asked if ho is satisfied with tho manner in which his account has been settled by the boarding master. The answer is invariably in tho affirmative, and the captain leaves tho shipping oflleo. 13o knows that if he has signed twelve men twelve men will be put on board his ship when he is on the evo of sailing, but he also knows by experience that if he gets one-half of the actual men ho engaged ho will get more than the average. The other half aro partners of the boarding master, who have probably been before tho same shipping master twice in the one week. It is these dummies who are substituted by men who are shanghaied, the latter being, in many instances, so unlike sailors that it Is considered advisable to keep them out of sight. It is quite a common occurrence for three or four of the crew, after they recover from their stupor, to have to go to the mate and find out the name under which they are sailing.
Additional light has been thrown on the matter by the publication of a story in a Santa Rosa journal of the existence of a "shanghai farm" located near that town. "There is one industry," it says, "located near Santa Rosa of which most people havo no knowledge. It Is a 'shanghai farm.' A clever mortal of San Francisco, who has various Interests in water-front boarding houses and is under contract to furnish sailors to shipmasters, is the proprietor of this industry. "•The retreat is located in the hills over in Rlncou valley, about five miles from town. There is plenty of whisky kept on tap, and all who enter therein are invited to drink to their heart's content. In most every town botween here and San Francisco the 'shanghai farm' is in collusion with some beerjoint proprietor. This is the way the Bcheme is conducted: The victim has been at work, and on Saturday night comes to town with his earnings. He is in for a good time, and joins convivial crowds wherever he finds them. He Anally gets into tho spider's web. His money is all gone, but still he is given drink. He is'told of tho joys and comforts of a mountain home near by, owned by a philanthropic friend of the barkeeper, where tho weary may rest from their labors and drink good whisky. He is fascinated. He is kept in a nasty" reeking drunk all night. Next morning ho wants to sober up on whisky. He is half dazed. He Is ipvlted to take a ride in a buckboard by a friend who appears on tho scene, and gratefully accepts the offer. They drive to tho shanghai retreat. "A big barrel of whisky stands sparkling in tho cellar. A half dozen vagabonds are lying around. The victim gets thoroughly drunk, and so remains until a new vessel arrives at the San Francisco port, when the proprietor comes up and escorts the bevy and places them aboard tho vessel. When the viotim realizes his* whereabouts he is sailing over the bounding main."
The Hen Gave Cp the Jut). A "Cape Coddcr" tells how he cured a setting hen. "I made," ho says, "half a dozen snowballs and soaked them In water. In the morning they were solid ico. I shaped them as near like an egg as1 possible and then placed them under the setting hen. She smiled. I stood by and watched her. 8ho cuddled the ice eggs under her and chuckled softly to them. In about ten minutes she appeared to get uneasy. She arose and scratched the darlings together and shook herself then, evidently satis'fied, settled down again. Soon sho got up onco more, this time with evident concern something was wrong, surely perhaps tho weather was getting cold. She folt wet and chilly, but, with great perseverance, she sat down again, and again got up, this time for good. She walked out of the bo* and then turned and looked in, but she had had enough."

Near nickory Flat, Simpson oounty, Ky., live perhaps the most remarkable twins in tho United States in point of size and strength, Samuel and Slmma Gammel, formerly slaves belonging to David Gammel. They aro now fortyfivo yearB old and their combined weight Is nearly five hundred pounds. Samuel weighs two hundred and forty and Simms two hundred and fifty. Their strength is enormous, either of them being ablo to shoulder huge pieces of timber that ordinarily four men would carry with handspikes.

A Boston pastor was sitting In his library one evening, recently, when knock at tho door came, no answered, and found a cou pie who desired to be united in matriino ny. Tho pastor asked them into his parlor and performed the marriage ceremony, after which the groom Tiandod liiin a scaled envelope, supposed to havo contained the usual compensation. The happy couple departed, and the reverend gentleman opened tho envelope and found tho fol lowing notoi "If she turns out as well as I think sho will, I will como back and pay you for your services." "Gentle as the Summer lireeace." "I'd rather take a thrashing any time than a dose of pill,"
groaned 0
patient to
whom tho doctor has prescribed physic. "I'd as lief bo sick with what ails me now, as to be sick with tho pills." "I don't think you've taken any of tho pills I prescribe, or you wouldn't dread the prescription so," laughed the doctor. "I never use the old, inside twisters you have in mind. I uso Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. rhoy always make mo think of a part of an old hymn— mild and lovely,
Gentle as tho summer breeze.

The Transformation.
When love was young, it asked for wings That It might still be roaming. And away it sped, hv fancy led.
Through dawn ana noon and gloaming* Each daintiness that blooms and blows It wooed in honeyed meter. And when It won tho swootest swoct
It flew off to a sweeter— iWhen lovo was young.
When love was old. It craved for rest* For homo and hearth and haven. For quiet talks round sheltered walks
And long lawns smoothly shaven. And what lovo sought at last it found— A roof, a porch, a garden— And from a fond unquestioning heart
Pence, sympathy and pardonWhen love was old. —Alfred Austin.

Sissy Men with a Genius For Doyllee, CUM aud Velvet Rufa.
As a contrast to the masculine girl and her swagger it might bo pertinent to present the sissy man and his affectations. You see this rare exotjo In full bloom at those essentially feminine ceremonies known as flve-o'olo€k toaa, where nothing sweetened and tied up with a bow furnishes the repast, where soft light filters through rose-hned shades over fair faces and estheticlan revels in daintiness galore. The alaqy man has his prototype in Parts and- In London, and one of his chief characteristics is his devotion to the married women, particularly if she has a monster of a husband that can't understand Drowning and had rather shovel coal than read Rossetti. Tho sissy makea It a point to calmly ignore the husband, who would kick him out for his Impertinence only that he knows what a harmless little lamb he is and thinks it would bo needlessly cruel.
He knows, according to tho New York Sun, more about tho codo of- candy giving and tho etiquette of flowers than he does about tho constitution of th(j tTnltcd States.
He has his sweet apar tments, where the foot sinks noiselessly into velvet rugs and the walls aro draped with sigh-away tints and hung with preRnph/iellte etchings. He gives his dear little teas, where the china is exquisite, the appointments elaborate and beautiful. Be is up on doylies,, and knows all about linen and silver. He persuades his married divinity to preside at the urn and gives himself up to the perfect ecstasy of adoring ana serving her. A nice old lady who was invited to one of these teas, and went early because sho thought the poor fellow wouldn't have enough spoons and napkins, or think to dust the glassware, and would be terribly upset and flustrated, looked on in amazement while the host made delicious cream things in a silver chafing dish and apologised for tho stupidity of his servant, who gave some one a chocolate spoon with a teacup.
And when he began telling how he had a dinner served for four every night whether he Invited any guestq or not, and that tliore was the same order of service and quite as elaborate a menu when ho dined quite alone as when his most honored guests were at the feaat, because that was the proper way to train servants and manage a household, the old lady said it positively made her feel profane, like going to an Ingeraoll lecture and having tho Bible ridiouled, it wis so opposed to all Christian customs and practices,

"My daughter is losing her Bight," said an anxious mother, '-and just on the evo of marriage, too!
