Since the close of the war, according
to the report of the Commissioner of
Pensions, the amount of $3.50, 900, 600
has been paid for pensions, including
those of the %, 900 widows of soldiers of
the war of 1s12-14 On the Both of
June last there were 2S5,697 names on
the pension rolls, representing a total
annual cost of $54, 296, $50; that during
the last fiscal year, seventeen years after
the close of the war, 81 664 original pen
sions and 1921 increased pensions were
granted, and that 269, 679 applications
remain to be passed upon, and how many
more the pension agents may produce is
beyond all guessing. As an ex-
change remarks, ''were q time Of
adversely to soon follow our present
prosperity, and our revenue fall off
equivalent to its present excess, these
statistics would come to have meaning
which is not at present assigned them.

The End Of the Labor Str Ike.


The telegraph yesterday announced
the collapse of the great strike Inaugural
ted on the 1st of June last Py the Anal
gamated Association at Pittsburg. The
conclusion of the whole matter was made
known in the terse message of President
Jarrett to the association-''the strike
is ended" Thus was terminated one
of the most unwise and hopeless labor
troubles which has ever been inaugura-
ted In this country.
The demands of these strikers for
higher wages were made at a time which
of all others was most unpropitious for
the accomplishment Of their purposes.
They were made when the country was
filed to OVERLOOKING with manufactured
iron-the inevitable result of our pro
tective policy, which encourages pro-
duction while it shuts us out from the
markets of the world, and confines the
supply to the home demand. Under
such circumstances the mill owners could
better afford to stop work altogether than
pay even the old prices to labor. and the
strike was to them, therefore, in the
nature of God-send.
AS was to have been expected the de-
mands for higher wages are refused, and
the strikers were placed completely in the
power of the capitalists. And what is the
result? After obstinately standing out
against all hope for months, and after los
inc thousands of dollars in wages because
a few bosses ordered them to do so, the
half starved workingmen have now to
accept the mill masters terms. and are
glad to return to work almost for what
they can get.
Herein was demonstrated the tyranny
of the Amalgamated Association over
hundreds of its members who earnestly
desired to resume work at the old wages
The association prolonged the strike
many weeks beyond the time when it
was perfectly apparent that success was
impossible, and only yielded at the last,
it would seem, when to yield or to disin-
tegrate was the alternative. The strike
has lasted one hundred and sixteen days,
has cost the idle workmen $4,000, 900 IN
the wages they would otherwise have
earned, has swept away the accumulated
earnings of years, and brought hundreds
of families to the verge of actual want
As an exchange remarks, sit has been
on the part of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton blunder so monstrous as to amount
to crime"
From the termination of the strike
American workmen can, if they will,
learn two very important and useful
lessons. First, that our protective system
is not for their benefit, but for the bene-
fit of few favored monOpOllsts who
happen to have money enough to start a
factory and second to, at all times, main
tain their independence and not yield
blind allegiance to bosses. Whether
they will learn these lessons or not
remains to be seen. They certainly
have had sufficient experience to dis
cover that bosssm, in whatever phase it
presents itself, is destructive Of all man
hood and directly antagonistic to the
best interests either of individuals or
communities.

In a recent interview Senator Sherman

from town to town whereI had appoint

would meet me, and most always insist
on paying my horse and hotel fare. Once
or twice was called upon for money
to pay for the printing Of the tickets,
and of course 1 gladly responded
to such calls. Then the Congressman
got IS day. The increase of salary is
what brings the money into politics, and
this Is to be depIored. 1t will be sad

ponds upon his individual efforts. 1t

Corporation Counsel Taylor, of Brook
Ign, has had his eyes opened by the New
York Worlds exposure of the financial
looseness of the management of the
Brooklyn bridge. That paper quotes
1Lr. Taylor as declaring the Worlds work
ga complete exposure of a colossal
fraud, and as leaving no room to doubt
that ''the parties concerned in it should
all be indicted for conspiracy to defraud
the public, and pending that indictment
should be removed from office" Accord
ing to the World, Mr.. Taylor proposes to
have the parties speedily indicted, If in
his power, and to proceed with their
rigorous prosecution. Such a prosecu-
ton would doubtless result In the ex-
posure of wholesale corruption, and
many Boss Tweeds on small scale
would in all probability come to grief.

The Providence press gives a speci-
men of the stealing possible under the
river and harbor appropriation bill, and
which makes the bill unpopular and
vicious The appropriation was for
Potowomut creek in Rhode Island, a
shallow stream, upon which there are no
settlements, no commerce, and no call
for sailing craft. But William Goddard,
a Republican politician, friend of Sen
ator Anthony and useful man at cleo
ton times, has landing place for his
private yacht, and he wanted to sail the
craft up these waters high tide or not.
A sand bar at the mouth of the creek
prevented him. In last years appro-
priation bill clause to dredge PotowO-
NUT river was inserted, and az apprO-
priation was made of $4,000 for this
purpose, the actual cost being 5000.
This was entirely local; entirely job.
