in which pouslon legislation is conducted.

says; "Much criticism has been indulged

Lewis W. Scanlan filed his declaration
for a pension In 188G, alleging that lie con
tracted chronic diarrhrca in the Black
Hawk war. Tho records show that ho
served from April 18, 1832, to May 28,
1832. .In vetoing the bill for his relief the
president says: "I am inclined to think It
would havo been a forttinato thing if, In
.this case, it could bo demonstrated that a
man could thrive so well with chronic
diarrhoea for fitty-two years, as its exis
tence in tho case of this good old gentle
man would prove. Wo should then, per-
Iiaps, have less ol it in claims lor pensions.
The fact is, in tills enso there is no disa

Upon medical examination it appeared that
his blindness was caused by amaurosis

came blind, disabled and dependent. None
ot us aro entitled to credit tor tho extreme
tenderness and consideration toward those
who fought their country's battles. These
are sentiments common to nil good citizens
They lead to most bonovolent caro on tho
part of tho government nnd deeds of chari
ty and mercy in prlvato llfo. The blatant
and noisy self-assertion ot those who. from
motives that may well bo suspected, declaro
themselves, abovo all others mends of sol
diers cannot discredit norbclittlc the calm,
steady, and nffectionnto regard of a grato

present session ot congress perfected con
siderably, increasing tho rate of pension in
certain cases. Appropriations havo also
been made of largo sums for th'i support of
tlio national homes, where sick, disabled,
or needy soldiers nro cared for, and within
a lew din's a liberal sum has been appro
prill tod for enlargement and increas d ac
commodation and convenience of these in

All this is moro than should bo done, but

special acts which havo been pushed, grant

am willing to confess thatsympathy rather
than ludgmont has olten lea to tlio dis
covery ot relation between injury or death
and militnry service, I am constrained by
a sense ot public duty to interposo ncainst
establishing tho principle and sotting a
precedent which must result in unregulated,
partial and unjust gilts of public money
under prctoxt or indemnifying thoso who
sintered in their means ol support as an in

Official Estimates as to the rteld Xot Zlkcly
to be Realized.
Tlio following crop summary appears in
this week's issue of the Chicago Farmers'
Review: Detailed reports from tho spring
wheat growing states, together with netual
results from winter wheat harvesting, indi
cates that tho official estimates as to the
probablo total crop yield will not be real
Izod. Tho actual injury to the crop in Mm
nesoia is already serious, whilo tho aver
nge ot reports from Dakota, Nebraska,
ttr. . . r .... ...
Wisconsin nnu iowa indicate that many
sections havo felt tho blight, and that the
average yield has already boon considera
bly lessened. Though nn analysis of the
probablo croji yield has not been attempted
by the Review, yet a study of the detailed
reports, which havo covered every county
in tho northwest, during tho past three
weeks, does not give promiso to exceed six
ty million bushels in eicess of tlio final
ligtiiesmado by tho government last year,
Both oats and (lax crops havo suffered
severely from tho prolonged drouth in
the northwestern slates, and tho nrosnoc-
ii vo yieiu oi oais win no snort an averago
yield per acre. Rains in Iowa, Indiana
and portions ot Illinois havo delayed bar
vestingaud caused somo injury. In twenty-
soven counties in Illinois, which return re
ports as to tho actual results of the wheat
harvest, tho yield varied widely from five
to eighteen bushels. Rpports from eleven
counties in Minnesota indicate that the
present wheat outlook does notnromiso to
exceed one-liall to thrce-rourlhs ol an
nvorago whero tho full effects of the drouth
havo beon felt. In Faribault. Sherbotirn
and Chippown counties the outlook is do-
clared lo bo unusually poor, licports from
Indiana show that the wheat harvest is ol
excellent ounlit.v. though tho yield will tall
short of nn averago crop. The need ot rain
for nil growing crops is indicated through
out Wisconsin. In Dakota the need ol
rain Is again beginning to bo felt through
out the entire torritory. In Hughes nnd
uny counties tno drouth is severe.

HEXRY WARD IX F.XC.LAXD.
London special: The Chronicle and tho-
Nows nro tlio only papers that pay any at
tention to Mr. Beccher. Tho Chroniclo-
says: "The jiroceedings were hardly as.
decorous as is desirable in a placo of
worship when dlvino servico is being con
ducted, many ot tho reverend gentleman's,
illustrations being received by tlio closely
packed congregation with loud laughter.
There was nothing, however, in tho text or
tho treatment to provoke hilarity. Mr.
Beccher is a venerable looking gentleman.
In his opening prayer his voice was almost
inaudible."
The News, in the . course of a
column account, says: "At the doors
was a scene of free squeeze
which on nny day but a Sabbath would de
serve the title of a freo flgh. It was a ser
mon of great power emphatically, tho ex
pression of a strong personality, nnd, with
all its other characteristics subordinate to
the leading one. of a dominating will. The
preacher seemed much in earnest, and not
me icnsi so in ins many humorous ellorts.
It Is strango preaching, but we nre not
called upon to estimate its spiritual value.
With perhaps one notable exception. It is
unlike anything wo are accustomed toheav.
In its strength and tenderness, humor,
above all its eell-confidence, running some
times into n kind ol irreverent audacity, it
has all the qualities ot the spiritual soil
from which it springs.
