After the experience of the country with that
stupendous scheme for emptylng the Treasury,
the Pensions Arrears law, it is amazing that
there should he anybody in Congress suffi-
ciently audacious to defy public sentiment by
advocating another measure of like character.
Yet considerable support appears to be behind
the bill to put every man who enlisted In the
Mexican War now living, and the widow of
every such man who has died since the war
closed, upon the pension list. The Mexican
War was a small affair compared to the recent
struggle with the Southern rebellion. Only
few thousand men were sent to the scene
of conflict, but much larger number
were enlisted who never had a chance to fire
a gun. Of course the sick and wounded were
provided for at once under the general PEN
sion laws, as well as the widows and orphans
the war made. Now it Is proposed to pension
all the well men whose names are on the
muster rolls and who are still alive, and all
the widows whose husbands came safely
through the war and died in their beds. Let
it not be supposed that, as the war ended
thirty-three years ago, the applicants for pen
sIons will be few. if the bill passes. They will
rise up by the thousand to coufound the Con-
grtssmen who are now making estimates of
the cost of the measure. The objection to the
bill does not, however, lie altogether IN
its cost. There is no good reason on the score
of justice or generosity why it should pass. A
Mexican veteran, who came home safe and
sound, has not as good a claim to a pen
sion as every veteran Union soldier who
fought against the Rebellion, for his service
was shorter, less ardIOus and less dangerous.

1t Is gratifying that the greater part of the
increase in the Indian Appropriation bill over
the bill of last year is accounted for by I e
larger expenses to be incurred for educational
purposes. The pubic will not complain of
the disbursement of public money to teach
Indian children. Ii is the amount which goes
out in the shape of annuilies TO encourage
Iaziness and enrich the traders at the rescrya-
lions to which objection is made.

Judge Blatchiord yesterday declared the
State law unconstitutional which levies tax
on the steamship companies of 81 head on
all immigrants landed at this port. The law
is said TO be "a direct interference with
the exclusive power of Congress to regulate
commerce with foreign nations" Now that 1t
is settled that the State cannot make the
steamship companies pay any part OF the
heavy expense of maintaining the Castle Gar
den Depot and the Immigrants Hospital, the
Justice of its appeal to Congress to be relieved
of this burden is more than ever apparent.
Immi grafton rs a National affair and a great
source of National growth and wealth. Because 1t
all pours into the harbor Of New York before dis
trbuting itself over the country, that lsno reason

expense of receiving and caring for 1T.

Lord Granvile's dispatches in reply to Mr.
Dlaine's notes relating To the interoccanic
canal question insist upon the perpetuity OF
the CLAYTON Bulwer Treaty, and rather pat
ronizlngly sug rest that the United States
should take the initiative toward a convention
of all the Maritime Powers to make the ncu-
tralty guarantee in that treaty general one.
Lord Granville does not seem to have gwen
sufficient weight to the fact that our Govern
ment has plainly expressed It's wish for less
foreign complication in the canal business rather
than more. We have objected to partnership
with one European Power why should he think
we would prefer one with half dozen powers
The treaty of 1916 puts the United States to
great disadvantage. In the early stages OF
its existence its provisions caused constant
friction and repeated disputes Or late years
il has lain dormant, neither Government hay
inc any occasion to appeal to its stlpulat0ns.
The claim of the United States that the treaty
has become practically obsolete by reason OF
the changed condition of affairs since it was
negotiated and the vast interests we have de-
veloped on the Pacif. Coast is not fully met
bv Lord Granville. He says that British in
terests iii that quarter have also developed,
though perhaps to a less extent Great Britain
has pettv colony on VancOuvcrs Island and
the adjacent mainland of perhaps 10000 ILL
babitants, and that is all. Mr.. Blaine's argn-
ment that an isthmus canal would be a part of
orr coast line and must be controlled by Us
.or the security Of our Pacific States, Is not
refuted by a reference to the poor little stand

One of the least defensible of the many
spiteful things Prince Bismarck has done IN
late years. since he has grown 30 peeviSh ana
sensitive about the criticisms of the German
Liberals Oh his repressive policy, is the prose-
cutou of the distinguished historian and sclen-
tist Professor Mommsen, for lbeling him III
a speech delivered before the last elections
Professor Mommsen denies that what he sald
was libelous, or was directed at the Chancellor
but the prosecution is being pushed, ana the
newspapers which disapprove of it are charged
10y one of BiSmarck's organs with attempting
to influence the Judge who sits III the case
