what Might Have Been.

When we think of the extravagant
proportions of the Pensions Arrears act
and the enormous sums that must be
paid to pretenders under Its provisions
1t is useful to consider what might have
been possible If ex-President Hayes had
shown the courage necessary to veto an
accepted and conspicuous public swim
die. The effect of this act, which was
signed by President Hayes in order to
strengthen the republican canvass in q
pending election, will be to take from
the Treasury hundreds of millions Of
dollars in property. Now if this amount
of money-let us say three hundred
millions which is gwen under the law
to claim agents and lobbies and bogus
soldiers, could have been devoted to
purposes of national improvement, what
might we have gainedp This SUM
properly expended would have revived
our navy; given as ships which could
have encountered the best iron-clads Of
Italy or France; opened the Mississippi
river; cleaned He'll Gate; established
forts at the salient points OF our Ameri-
can domlnions; constructed new rail-
road across the continent; subsidies
twenty lines of steamers instead of the
one which Mr.. Blaine Is anxious to see
established to Brazil, and founded a
national university at Washington. In
stead OF these great national improve
ments we bave a corrupt, degrading sys-
ten, which enables any adventurer who
chooses to make raid upon the Treas.
ury to enter bis name upon the pension
| list and take from month to month aud
frt m year to year government money
which does not belong to him.--N. T.
| Herald.

RObbing the Poor.

Scarcely day passes without our
reading some narrative of the infamies
of the Ring In Philadelphia and the suc-
cessiul efforts of Its leaders to absorb
the public treasury, interfere with tile
rights of the people and impose corrupt
bul dens upon the city municipal fran
chises. The latest development of cor
ruption is found in the exposure of the
methods by which the Almshouse in
Philadelphia is conducted. This Aims
house provides for the sustenance OF q
large number of paupers. Under the
best management life in an almshouse
is sad enough. The sustenanee OF the
inmates is brought down to the lowest
point. When we discover that ring,
living upos the corruptlons and crimes
of a political machine, follows its thirst
for gain into the corridors of an aims
house, we know the point Of degradation
which has been reached by the political
leaders of Philadelphia.
