that unhappy kingdom; nothing short Of
the bayonet can convert such a savage.
and it is a disgrace to the civilized ma
tons trading with and colonizing Africa
that the horrors which are systematically
perpetrated there should be permitted to
occur. 1t is certainly the duty of Great
Britain and other governments holding
direct relations with the Ashantee fend,
to stop, at any cost, his merciless and
superstitious s~laughters. Anything more
wanton, more absurd and more revolving
than this latest massacre it is not posi-
BILE to imagine. and yet the horror is
mildly mentioned as one Of the "customs
of the country"

A discouraging report is current to the
effect that Congress will be obliged to
meet by a supplemental appropriation a
deficiency Of about 80, 900, 900 in the
fund available for disbursement through
the Department of Pensions. This state
of things has been brought about by the
operation of the Arrears of Pensions bill.
which has involved and will continue to
involve an expenditure enormously great
er shan was anticipated at the time the
bill was passed. Claims for arrears are
pouring in all the time, and as there are
already a vast number on hand awaiting
adjudication, it is estimated that the
Commissioner Of Pensions will require
500, 000, 900 to cover his disbursements
during the next fiscal year. Apart from
I'll this. the Arrears of Pensions bill is a
direct incentive to fraud. 1t ought to
be repealed.

have established In San Francisco the
main signal Office. proposed to forecast
the weather. Lieutenant Kilbourne says
the marked meteorological variation On
this coast, and the repeated failure in the
transmission Of reports to and from Wash
ington, render it an urgent necessity for
San Francisco to make her own predic-
tions and not depend upon the bureau at
Washington. This necessity. he says, Ia
not only felt by the Western, but by
the Eastern folks. for the rainy me-
neurological conditions and variations are
watched with great interest In these Sec
