Think of It.
Very few persons, perhaps, have
stopped to think what an enormous
load of debt is being piled up by pen
sion sharks, with the aid and conni
vance of the republicans, against the
people of this country. The Times-
Vnion, Jacksonville, speaking of the
outlook, says:
“Assuming that the pension bills
now before congress will pass, it is
calculated that in 1802 the average
tnx on the head of every family in
the United States for the payment of
pensions, will amount to 814. But
such taxes are collected in such an
iusiduous, stealthy manner that a
large portion of the people do not
realize that they are paying them.
They fancy that importers are being
made to pay the tax for them.”
The head of every family taxed
814 per annum, to give the republi
cans a new lease of power. Think of
it. The republicans will squander
hundreds of millions, giving pensions,
whether they are deserved or not,
simply to secure votes.
Train’s Trip Around the World
New Yoke, May 18. — George
Francis Train arrived this morning,
on his return to Tacoma aboard the
Etruria. He was met at quarantine
by a party of friends and transferred
to the city, where lie takes a special
train for Tacoma. He is in the best
of health.”
Thus, the fond and flattering hope,
indulged in by many, that George
Francis would never get back, is sud
denly and ruthlessly shattered.

Ex-Senator Jones Insane.

A Busted Bucket Shop.
New York, May 19.—The public
grain and stock exchange, limited,
said to be the largest bucket shop in
the United States, wen*, to the wall
this morning, owing to an attachment
secured against it by a customer in
Oswego, N. Y.
One, by one, they go.
An exchange says: There are 2,700
Courts in the United State engaged
in granting divorce, and one marriage
in every twenty-eight is thus annul
led.”
The looseness of the marriage tie,
is one of the gravest problems of the
day. It is, peculiarly, one of God’s
institutions, and should he kept more
aacred. Society depends, largely,
upon the observance and the perpet
uation of those tender ties which
hind, or should hind, man and woman
together.
The Telegraph says: An importer
who is handy with figures has calcu
lated one effect of the McKinley
tut iff bill. He shows that it will
cause the working people in this
country to pay 821,000,000, for $8,-
000,000 worth of crockery. This is
the sort of protection the masses get
from the party of monopoly.
And this is hut one item of many.
The |>oor man is rohhed to fill the
coffers of the bloated, protected man
ufacturer. IVas ever such iniquity
perpetrated Itefore? <
JOHN WESLEY McRAE.
A Tribute to the Memory of a
Good Man Called Home.
Special Correspondence of Times-lnion.
Mki.rosk, Fi.a., May 17.—Passed
into rest on the morning of May 15,
1890, after a painful illness, John
Wesley McRae, a leading and enter
prising citizen of Melrose, Fla.
Mr. McRae was of that Scotch an
cestry which lias given so many good
and honorable men to our country.
He was the sou of M. N. McRae, of
Lumber City Ga, where lie was horn
March 15, 1849. In 1874 lie married
Miss Maud Surrency of Snrrency, Gn.,
and in 1877 on account of his delicate
health, lie brought his family anil
settled—one of the first settlers—in
Melrose, and lias ever since labored
zealously for its advancement. He
was a man of remarkable energy,
public-spirited, genial, kind, impul
sive, generous to a fault, a stranger
to mealiness or treachery, and with
out one grain of malice in his com
position. To him nil adversary was
an adversary hut for the moment, and
then all differences were forgotten.
To Mr. McRae Meirose owes a
large debt of loving remembrance.
For the prosperity of the town or for
those in need his brain, his hand and
his purse were always ready. Gone
frome us in the very prime of life,
with him went the light of a happy
home. As husband, father, brother,
friend, no truer, nobler heart ever
beat than this one, whose silence has
brought such desolation to so many.
The sympathy of the whole com
munity is poured out cn those he held
so dear and who are left to mourn his
loss. He was followed to the grave
by a large concourse of friends and
neighbors, and was buried as he de
sired to be, with Masouic honors by
the lokge of which lie was a beloved
member. During his illness friends
were untiring in their ministrations,
and the family desire here to express
publicly their grateful thanks and
appreciation.
Though our hearts arc full of sym
pathy there is nothing wc can say
which will comfort in the least those
whose sorrow is fresh and so heavy,
and who would fain have made life
to him a long day of blessing and joy.
“ ‘Sleep suit, beloved,' we sometimes say,
Hut Imvc no tunc to clinrni away
Sail drenms tlint tliro' the eyelids creep.
Hut never doleful dream again
Shall break the happy slumber a lien
He girelh His beloved, slerp."

He Cleaned ’em Out.
Everyone lias heard of congress
man John Allen, of Mississippi. He
is the wit of the house, tells a good
story, and is a ready debator. Mr.
Candler, according to Ed Barrett, of
the Constitution, tells the following
story, giving the experience of his
first meeting with Allen :
“I was down near Tupelo in com
mand of a Georgia catnpany,” said
Mr. Candler. “One morning a lean,
lank, gawky country boy, who looked
as if you held him up to the light you
could see the tadpoles in him, walked
up to my tent and drnwled out,
‘Cap’n one ’o your d—n men stole my
blanket an I’m goiu’ to have it hack
or I’m goin’ to trail h—11 cut’ll .some
body.’
“About this moment one of my
men came up and said : ‘Captain it is
my blanket he refers to. You know
that blanket, tor you Imvc slept under
it many times.’
“‘Yes’, I replied, ‘I remember it
Of course it is yours.’
“‘Yes,’ said the boy,‘that’s just
like you d—n Georgians. One of
you will tell a lie and t’other will
swear to it. Now, cap’n, if you will
jist shed them stripes I’ll whip you
quickcr’n h—11 will scorch a feather.’
“I couldn’t stand that challenge,”
continued the Georgian. “I quickly
threw ofl my coat and lit into the
fight. Well, if it had not been for
my men I believe that fellow would
have heat me to death. He simply
plowed up the earth with me, and
then offered to whip all my men one
by one, hut none of them would try
him. That hoy was Private John
Allen, the Mississippi congressman.”
Russia wants Turkey to pay up her
old indemnity war claims. The Port
may lose a slice of turkey, if she
doesn’t pay. It would be in the di
rection of progress and civilization, if
the bird was carved up and divided
out among civilized natioue.
