THE PENSION OFFICE. The Disreputable Way in Which Its Affairs Are Conducted. b Of all the discreditable appointments made by President Harrison—and their name is legion—that of Corporal Tanner to the head of the Pension Bureau was perhaps the worst. Tanner is a man of no character or capacity. His installation as' head of the Pension Bureau was the signal for the beginning of a carnival of profligacy and extravagance and corruption in that department. Tanner at once began reversing decisions made, not only by his Democratic predecessor, Black, but by Republican commissioners. These reversals operated to break down safeguards against fraud upon the Government, and opened the doors to thousands of improper claims. It soon developed that Lemon, head of the pension agents’ ring at Washington, and proprietor of the National Tribune, which did so much dirty work last year in the incerest of Harrison, had the “inside track’’ at the Pension Bureau. All of his cases were ‘‘preferred,”’ and went through without let' or hindrance. ‘'As Lemon and his clique—one of whom was William Wade Dudley—had dictated Tanner’s appointment, the thing was a scandal, and when the pension agents made a row over it, Squires, the private secretary of Tanner, was made the scapegoat for the latter. Squires, s 0 Tanner claimed. had betrayed his confidence by preferring Lemon’s cases, and he was dismissed. It was also asserted that Squires had made in~ sulting propositions to one of the ladies in the Pension Bireau. Squires, | however, threatened to expose Tan- i ner’s complicity in the Lemon frauds, and he' was. silenced by an appointment as special timber agent in the Interior Department. This is the department to which the Pension Bureau s attached. Squires still holds this position, and will doubtless retain it—unless he gets a better one—until the end of the administration. L

After Squires’ removal Tanner appointed his own daughter—a young miss just out of school—to the private secretaryship at a salary of §l,BOO. The position is one that calls for bustness capacity and experience, and 1t was grossly improper to bestow it upon this young school-girl. These, however, are not the only scandals that have-come tolight in the Pension Bureau under Tanner’s management. The ilnstitution seems to have become a perfect nest of rottenness. One of the employes was a fellow named Van Brunt. He abandaned his wife in Brooklyn, and went to Washington with another woman ‘whom he introduced as his wife;, and who afterward became insane and was sent to an asylum. These things were exposed, and Van Brunt was dismissed from the Pension Office. He at ance became an employe, in a confidential capacity, of Lemon, the very same pension shark who had between 8,000 and 10,000 “‘special’”’ cases expedited during the first three months of the Tanner regime. As Lemon's assistant, V,'an Brunt still has the run of the Fension Bureau. t : £

Tanner has run the Pension Bureau in debt to the people of the: United States, since he assumed charge of it, about §10,000,000. If he is allowed to keep on in his mad career he will bankrupt the National Treasury within the next four years. But Tanner will doubtless be retained. His appointment, it.is understood, was the result of arrangements made 1n this city before the last election with certain representative pension agents,-in consideration of such material aid as they could bring to the Dudley conspiracy.” He was put:in .office for their benefit. President Harrison knew why the ring wanted him appointed. The ring is so wealthy and powerful that the President will not dare offend it now by removing thim. Tanner will, we presume, stay to the end.—lndianapolis Sentinel ’ "HARRISON’S POLICY. The Indiana Man Brings Forth & Mouse Instead of a Mountain, One of the most offensive features of President- Hayes’ administration ‘wasg the indifference with wkich he permitted his Secretary of -the Treasury, Mr. Sherman, to build. up a machine in the South. 1t was based on the spoils system, and Government: patronage was distributed in so shameless a way that the feeling of indignation then aroused did much to keep the South solid. But the Sherman machine, in spite of all -its de-. fects, was effective in securing delegates to the Republican National convention of 1880. ULI P

The friends of President Harrison seem to be most actively engaged just at present in efforts to rehabilitate the | Sherman machine. They know tha,t'i it is a gross misuse of power for the ‘ President to appoint to office dishonest carpet-baggers who do not . represent in any sense the people in the localities where they live; but such a course, 'they think, looking back ‘at the result in 1880, may bring their chief votes in the National con-. vention in 1892. So the offices are di--vided up as they will dothe most good. This proceeding naturally redfilts in serious scandals in some places, as in North Carolina, but the Harrison -manageus console themselves for the present by dreaming of the future. : In view of the rose-colored prophecies that were made as to what General Harrison proposed to do in the South, the result is very disapp‘ointiig. - He was to build up a great prote¥¥ve party there and to break the solid ~ Democratic party. ~And now, instead ~ of any of these great things being ac‘complished, we are simply to have the ‘ld Sherman machine resuscitated. If - we had not been told to expect a - mountain we would not be so grievous1y disappointed to find that s mouse had been brought forth.—N. Y. Star.

FACTS FOR LABORERS.

The Ruinous Competition . Which Our Working-Men Will Have to Meet.

| When the Indianapolis candidate for the Presidency, last fall, received a delegation of the horny-handed type, sent to him by some protected manufacturer to produce the impression that there was but oOmne friend of the | working-man, and Ben Harrison was his name, he ‘usually read them a homily on the direful consequences of allowing the pauper labor of Europe to come into competition with them. It was only by putting the Republican | party back into power that the toilers of America could be saved from the ruinous competition of cheap labor beyond the sea. In his letter of acceptance he dwelt with particular emphasis on the necessity of some inspection of and limitation to immigration, stating that the day of the immigration bureau had gone by. He was very emphatic about the awful results ‘of the competition of, the products of American shops in the American markets, - without favoring duties, with the products of cheap foreign labor. ‘‘Such competition,” he said, ¢‘will soon reduce wages here to the level of those abroad, and when that condition is reached we will not need any law forbidding the importation of laborers under contract.” Such competition is on our shores already, and there is no ' necessity for the importation of labor--ers under contract, for the protected manufacturers can get all the pauper labor of Europe he wants ready at hand without having to send for it. ‘ " The flood:of immigration has set in this summer with a force that threatens to surpass all previous records. The steerage of every steamer coming to this country is filled with the pauper labor of Europe, and in Liverpool and Queenstown . there are mot accommo‘dations for the vast' numbers bound for the protected home of American industry. From the Mediterranean ports come crowds of Italians, and the Austrian Government appears to dread lthe' depopulation of Hungary. Over two-thirds of those immigrants may |be classed under the general head of laborers, as they are without i trade or occupation. Hence, when the Ca'negies and other friends of American industry undertake to reduce wages to the starvation point, their ‘betrayed employes must either submit to it or go on strike, with the cer_tainty that their places will be filled by the ever-increasing contingent of the paupen labor of Europe in this country. - The beautifnl theory of the _protection- of American labor, so eloquently set forth by Republican orators in and out of Coungress last year, has failed to materialize. With the | markets of the world effectually closed ' against us by a prohibitive tariff, and our own markets over-stocked, with trusts controlling the production and “output of every thing, and thousands of pauper laborers ready to step into the places of American working-men, the roseate visions of protection have assumed a_decidedly glowing aspect. The Italians and Hungarians are willing to work for wages that an Ameri- | can could not support his family on without descending to the frightful level of those pauper laborers. Such | is protection.—Albany (N. Y.) Argus. |

POLITICAL OPINIONS.

——Mr. Butterworth may speak, of the South as ‘‘a man in a fever,” but she is inaccurate in so expressing himself. The ‘fever” is only the heat from the blast furnaces which are giving cheaper iron to the over-bur-dened people of the United States.— ‘Louisville Courier-Journal. : ——The appointment of William ‘Walter Phelps to represent the country at Berlin shows that Mr. Harrison is anxious to impress the Germans with American elegance, As a type of American elegance, with its hair parted in the middle, William Walter is a pronounced success.—Detroit Free Presee . .. ~——Mr. Robert P. Porter’s claim that he has been an. earncst advocate of protection ever since he was old enough to have any opinions is controverted by the Albany Argus, which calls attention to.an article written by Porter for the Galaxy Magazine of December, 1877, wherein he expresses unmistakable free-trade sentiments.

——As if it were not enough that all of President Harrison’s relatives, comrades and partners should be provided with offices, the cronies and chums of his son and the sons of his Cabinet officers are now coming in for plums from the patronage tree.. If Charles Sumner were alive what material he would have for a philippic against nepotism! ' Plumb knew his party. “Public office is a private snap.’’—N. Y. World. e ;

——After Mr. Clarkson, Corporal Tanner seems top be doing more than any other man to shape the policy of the Administration. The President may preach virtue in the White House and his Cabinet may turn up the whites of their eyes as he. discourses of the loveliness of reform, but the people will judge by performances and not by promises. Clarkson and Tanner are men of action.—Philadelphia Record. ——One proof of the advance of the Democratic party on the line of tariff reform is furnished 1n the attitude of dissidents within the party lines, who quarreled with the evasive platform of 1884 because of its protective leanings, ‘and who now insist upon the readoption of that platform: for 1892. Even the laggards are unwillingly marching forward, ' drawn by the movement of the masses in the right direction.—Philadelphia Record. b

Harrison’s Sickening -Brutality. When the President desires to get rid of a 'Democratic offiée-holder, he uses something like the following brief and ‘brutal formula: You are hereby removed from the office of collector of customs for the district of Georgetowny in the Distriot of Columbia. e BENJAMIN HARRISON, The, gentleman t 0 whom this v‘}ul ; addressed gave Harrison a lesson in 800 breeding, saying: “One reads your communication through from date-line to signature without finding 8 word to indieate’ whether it 1s addrosed to 8 man o a horse,"—Albany

* FARM "AND FIRESIDE.

—Cold tea is the best thing with which to clean grained wood, “Never use ammonia for this kind of work.

'—Mueh of thesuccess in growing root crops depends upon keeping them clear of weeds. Cultivate often; also the later corn. If there are no weeds a light soil is an excellent mulch ina dry time. N : ; /

—Pig-pens in summer are an abomination. Thousands of pigs are kept. in them at a loss, or with a doubtful profit, when with a small outlay for suitable fencing, they could have the benefits of grass and ground, and do better and make'meat far more palata—There is always plenty to be ‘done in destroying insect pests that injure the fruits and vegetablesin the orchard or garden. Whatever means are employed care should be taken to do thorough work from the time they make their appearance until they disappear. ,

—Root lice, says an exchange, are more destructive to vegetation than those which prey upon the stems and leaves. The louse which attacks the roots of the apple tree is one of the most destructive of its class. This pest’ sometimes works on the naked trunk, where it may be detected by a mass of little granulations about the size of cabbage seed. : —Meadows should not be mown too close nor should grass become too ripe before mowing. When meadows become unproductive, despite the farmer’s best carée and treatment, then the remedy is ‘to plow up the aged grass and release the soil from its indurated and inactive state by thorough tillage for a couple of years. Then if desirable, it can, by resgging, be restored to its prime condition. °

—Water from some wells is too cool to be given to animals. Especially in very warm weather it is judicious to draw the water long enough in advance to allow its chill to be removed before the animals drink it, especially if they are fatigued. A handful of fine corn meal stirred into a bucketful of water ‘will be acceptable, and prevent injury from excessive drinking of cold water. —Strawberry Gelatine: Take a paper of gelatine and soak it as usual, adding one quart less of water with sugar and the juice of one lemon. Have a quart of strawberries sugared and left standing for about two hours, when crush them and rub them through the sieve and pour over them through the sieve the gelatine. Whip up a pint and a half of cream, stirring it into the gelatine, when put it into a form and set it on ice. Serve with or without cream. —Good Housekeeping. ‘ —The value of red clover has but recently become known, and in = comparatively very limited territory, though it was introduced into the Unite dStates some time prior to the Revolution, being known and cultivated by all the leading husbandmen of ancient Europe; but up to' within a comparatively recent date its management was such as not to show its super-ex-cellent qualities. But this is a scientific era, and the experiments lately made have developed fact after fact which have demonstrated beyond a doubt its superior qualities, not only for one use but for many. .

] THE PIGS IN CLOVER. Curious Scientific OTgl;l of a JPdpular and ¢ Amusing Puzzle., . l The “Pigs in Clover’’ puzzle had a rather curious scientific origin. A student in physiological psychology’ named Martenfeldt, while making researches in ' some determinations of the sensativeness of the tactile sense under the direction of Helms holzt, the great German investigator, found that the ability to balance a ‘marble on a perfectly smooth piece of ‘plate glass depended upon the delicacy of what is known as the reaction time, that is, depends upon the quickness or the nerve current in receiving the impression that the marble will. roll, sending the impression 1o the controlling organs in the cerebellum that contract or relax the muscles of* the arm, and the degree of responsiveness in the nerveus end organs of the fingers which hold the piece of glass. Martenfeldt found that if he placed the marble in the center of the plate and marked four or five spots on the edges of the plate, and then asked the subject with which he experiilented totip the plate so that the marble would run across a particular spot, a considerable time elapsed before the subject could determine how to tip the plate to make the marble roll as required. When Martenfeldt completed the apparatus and placed rings of ‘pasteboard about the center of the plate, with holes for the marble to run through, the average result of his experiments gave 'a remakable psychological law. This was that the ¢‘reaction time depended upon the size of the circles of paste- ‘ board which made an impression upon the field of vision of the retina, and was in direct proportion to the diameter ‘of the circles expressed in millimeters. Martenfeldt's experiments developed the fac. that effects of practice and attention diminish the psycho-physical reaction; time and fatigue increases it. %‘hus he found that the will time neces-' sary for choice between two motions was reduced by practice, for three subjects of experiment from .080 second to .060, from .097 second to .0635, and from .098 second t 0.062 respect- ‘ ‘ively. For choice among five and ten possible motions the effect of practice | was yet more marked; thus with five ‘possible choices, the will time of one person was reduced by practice from, +239 second to .083; and of another, ‘with ten possible choices, from .858 second t 0.094, For each single day's series of exporimont the time diminished faster at first than subsequently,” ‘periment.

ISRAEL WANTED A KING. fitg R ETTTT X } lntemnﬁond’, Sunday-School Lesson for : " July 28, 1889, " |Specially arranged f:-om S. 8. Quarterly.] LEessoN Texr—l Sam. 8: 4-20. ; GoLDEN TexT—Nevertheless the peoplerefused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us. ISam. 8:19. : ! L - CENTRAL TruTH—W é should seek to know God’s will, rather than insist on our own. TiMe—B. C. 1075-6, about twenty years after the last lesson. (Others make the date. B. C. 1095.) " i ‘PLACE—Ramah, the home of Samuel, four miles northwest of Jerusalem. Samuel, now about seventy years old. For forty years he had been prophet of Israel, and for twenty years judge. ; INTERVENING HISTORY—A season of peace and prasperity followed the victory of our last lesson. Samuel had grown old, and made his sons judges in Beersheba, fortyfive or fifty miles to the southwest. ; - HErPs OVER HARD PLACES—4. The elders of Israel: the heads of families and leading persons, forming a kind of legislature. 5. Sons walk not in thy ways: they took bribes and perverted justice (v. 3 6. The thing displeased Samuel: it was not wreng to have a king (Deut. 17:14-20), but the request was a slur upon his administration, a rejection of God, a refusal to be as noble and holy a nation as God would have them to be. Why did they desire a king? . (1) To be like other nations, (2) To have a visible leader for ' war (v. 2).. (3) To give unity to the nation. (4) Samuel would not long be ablé to rule | theni, and his sons were not fit for the place. Y. They have not rejected thee, chiefly, but they have rejected me; in rejecting Samuel., How? (1) They did nect ask what was best,- but were determined to have their owd way. (2) They were unwilling to be such a nation as God thought best. (3) They wanted success without obedience, and hoped they could have it by a king. (4) They distrusted God as their invisible leader. (5) Their motive was bad—to be like other nations. 9. Hearken unto their voice: grant their request. Forso sinful a people a king was the best, as a punishment for their not being more worthy. 11. This will be the manner -of the king: (1) He would bring in luxury at the people’s expense. (2) He would limit their freedom. (3) He would impose high taxes and drain the wealth of the people. Lessox Facrs—Samuel-was growing old, being at the time of our lesson seventy years of age. Twenty years had elapsed since the events of the last lessor. They had been years of considerable prosperity. Hitherto the people had been governed directly by God through the medium of judges or prophets. The example of surrounding nations, however, proved contaglous, bnd at last the people wanted a king like the nations around them. The immediate occasion of this request for a king was the misrule of Samuel’s twosons. This led the elders to assemble and ask of Samuel that some fitting man should be chosen as their permanent king. God told Samuel to hearken to the request of the people, but to warn them that it would not be at all to their advantage if they had a king; for the burdens that a king would lay on their shoulders would be far heavier than any thing that they had yet been called upon to bear. The argument of the aged prophet was in vain, however; for the people were bent on having their own way, as we see from the sequel of the lesson. (Compare this lesson with I Kings 12:1-11.) (a) A WroxNG REQUEST—Thatit was wrong is evident from the way in which God responds at the first. It involved a lack of trust in God’s method of governing them. If Samuel’s sons were evil, the way out of the difficulty did certainly not lie in the direction of a monarchy. Any one could have told them that. The fact was that they were weary of seeming to be at a dis- ‘ advantage as against the showy monarch- ] ies around them. Now God ;had always told them that in case they came to have a king, he should be particularly careful to be as unlike other monarchs as possible. (See Deut. 17:16-20.) In making their request, therefore, they showed a spirit markedly at variance with the one they ought to have cherished. (b) A REQUEST VEHEMENTLY URGED. It might not have been soevil a thing to make the request they did had they quietly yielded when it was evident that their desire was not acceptable in God’'s sight. But they were wedded to their purpose, and no clear and prophetic betrayal of consequent disasters at all affected them. “Nay, but we will have a king,” is their reiterant request, or rather demand. It was this vehement insisting on having their way that aggravated their guilt. (¢c) THE REQUEST GRANTED. This was strange! To human reason it would seem almost as though God would have done better to deny them ‘outand out, and punish them for wilfulness. But we must never forget that God always treats men, not as machines, but as free agents. So He treated Israel. In this way they learned many a lesson, both in the aesert and in Canaan, which otherwise it would have been impossible to teach them.—Rev. A. F. Schauffler. . s PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. 1. The best of men sometimes have bad children.

2. We often earnestly desire- things not best for us to have.

, 8. There may be sin and foliy as well as langer in the desire to be like other people. 4. Be very careful of the feelings of the ald.

5. We reject God when we refuse to obey Him; when we insist on our will contrary to God’s; when we neglect His Word, and reject His ministers, and do not believe on Jesus.

6. God sometimes yields to our requests because we are mnot worthy of the better things He has planned for us. :

THERE are no exigencies in our hves for which the well-trained mind should not be prepared, or which the 'truly courageous soul may not meet with icalmness, relying upon all-wise Providence to make at the right moment a complete provision. To such lives'there can come no failure. Weé have the oft-repeated promise in the word of Divine truth that those who seek His glory shall not fail. All who unselfishly pursue their work may with mdustry: achieve certain success and find constant encouragement and happiness all along life’s journey. —Joseph Owen. B

A PERFECT faith would lift us absolutely above fear. It is in the cracks, crannies and gulfy faults of our belief, the gaps that are not faith, that the snow of apprehension settles, and the ice of unkindness forms.—Macdonald. :
