Time TO Call a Halt.
Pitts6urg Dispatch (Ind)

Fttt6OHTg DtSpdtCh klftusjs
1t is about time the people of this coun-
try called halt on the pension business.
The enormous cost of the arrears act,
causing, as it did, a deficiency in the pub
lie accounts the year after its enactment,
is still fresh in the public mind, and now,
while the country is grOaning under the
burden of war taxation and demanding
relief, Congress is afraid to touch our
cumbrOus and unequal revenue system
because of the immense sum which will
be required to satisfy the pension roll
next year, and which it is estimated may
reach $120, 100000. This is not all, how
ever. The Secretary of the Interior, in a
recent communication, estimated that the
future payments of arrears under pending
claims would increase the charge by $780,
600, 900, while if the bill increasing the
pensions of those who lost an arm or leg
is passed, another $2,000,0O0 will be annu-
ally added. As a result we should find
ourselves saddled with a pension roll
bearing over 100000 names and costing
$40, ZOO, 900 year,

SAILING 80 MILES AN HOUR.
A First Trial Of an Ice Sailer on the
SchuyIkiIl-An Exciting Race in Pros
PAiIndelphin Record .

PhiiGdetphiG Record.
AS soon as the Schuylkill flats above
the dam at NOrristOwn are frozen over
again, there Will be an ice boat race be-
tween the Bridgeport ice craft recently
completed and one now nearly finished
and belonging to a NorristOwn club. An
ice boat is the fastest sailing craft in the
world, and with a favorable wind can
make better time than the swiftest light
ming express has ever been known to
make on the rails. Ice yachts are almost
always triangular in shape, which is the
style of the one now awaiting cold weather
at Bridgeport. Without the mast or sails
it presents very much the appearance of
a tOothless farm harrow. From the bow
spirit to the stern it is II feet long and s
feet across the widest part. Unlike an
ordinary yacht, this craft presents its
broadcast side in front. Beneath the
triangular frame are two steel runners,
somewhat larger than an ordinary skate
runner, with very slightly convex sur
face, so as to reduce the friction to the
minimum. At the stern, there is rum
ner differing from the other two in that its
surface is sharp so as to stick to the ice,
and which serves as the rudder, Welded
to the top of this rudder is a small iron rod
about a foot high, This rod runs through
a round hole to the deck of the yacht, and
to the top of it is fastened tiller, Two
ropes are fastened to this yoke, which con-
stitutes the steering apparatus of the
craft. A huge mast is stepped between
the two stationary skates, and bowsprit
shoots out on line with it. A large
lateen sail and a small jib-twenty yards
of canvas in all comprise the rigging.
One man in the stern to work the tiller
and another to manage the sail constitute
the Yachts necessary crew. The Norris
town Yacht Club proposes to put thirty
yards of canvas on its boat. But"
says the Captain of the Bridgeport
craft, ''if necessary we can shake
out ten yards more than that
without Danger The Bridgeport yacht
was put on the ice last Friday week, and
worked so well that, after days over
hauling, a race was arranged for Sunday,
which demonstrated the boats splendid
sailing qualities, The swiftest skater on
the upper Schuylkill was given fair
start in tWOsmile race. In order to make
the winning point the yacht was compelled
to make three tacks, and really sailed
four miles, but beat the skater fully half a
mile. cat one time" says Captain Rich
ardson, ''the yacht was making over thirty
miles an hour, and required strong hand
and steady eye to guide her, The terrific
speed created a perfect gale, and the crew
were at one time in danger of being
swept from the deck. He confidently pre-
dicted that with a strong beam wind and
good management the yacht can make a
mile a minute. When the NorristOwn
rival comes on the river there will be iine
snort and an exciting race.

DemOcracy's Danger,


1t depends upon the leaders of the
Democratic party to leave historical ques-
tions and chickering's behind, and without
any sacrifices of principle TO take stand
for the practical assertion of the doctrines
of the party as applied to the most i'm
pOrtant of economic questiOns-if such
leaders have about them the equipment of
craftsmanship which may enable them to
enter upon campaign of positive adj
vOcacy. Their opponents of the other party
have heretofore accepted the RESPONSE
bility of advocating the protective
principle, but are now somewhat divided
and wayering. Political generalship
would accept the issue and take possess
sion of the ground from which an attack
can be made with effect. If there shall be
serious hesitation ON the part of Demo-
cratic leaders, the Republican party,
which is quick to learn and use every adj
vantage, may perhaps effect an evolution,
which will leave the Democrats again on
the wrong side of the fence, to use home
ly metaphor.

senator Brown on the PendletOn Bill.
The only hope left to the Republicans
after their crushing defeat. on the eth of
November was that the Democrats would
commit some notable blunder before the
next Presidential campaign, and so dis
gust the people as 70 cause repentance
for that tidal wave of condemnation, and
a return to Republican rule as the least
Of two evils. Selling upon this straw they
hastily changed front. so altered their
reports and measures to be presented TO
Congress, as they believed. to take the
wind cut Of the Democratic sails
and hurriedly putting on the
semblance Of reform, awaited with much
anxiety and cunning the hoped-for result.
Many Of the simpler sort among the Dem
Ocrats fell easily into the trap, and would
have been gobbled up, but there was one
experienced old rat in the party not TO be
deceived by the seat in the meat tub"
and when the Georgia Senator boldly I'M
covered the deceit there were cOngratula-
tons and great joy in the Radical camp
over the supposed success of the ruse
and provocatiOn for counter current of
public opinion. Even the astute New
York Sun was so far misled by the we'll
feigned sincerity of the newly converted
reformers that it was moved to say:
senator Brown did great injustice to the
motives which actuate the masses of the
Democratic party" But the Sun APP
proved him when il confessed that his
sarcastic comments on the sudden en-
thusiasm of Republicans for permanent
tenure Of office supplied
a needed touchstone by which to
disclose the real purposes of Messrs.
Hale, kasson and other exemplary
converts to the cause of civil service re-
FORM" As an Independent" only co
operating with the Democrats in the bust
ness Of reform, the San was not expected
10 go all the way with the Democratic
senator, but as an ally it should have
been at least as ingenious as it opponents.
The New York Graphic Rep. }, said
senator Brown was "quite right"
and his party would be generous to a
{ point Of idiocy were it to confer
on its opponents continuance of the
I great balance of power they have had and
{ improved to the utmost for twenty-five
F years" Another leading Republican
Z journal, the Buffalo Courier, said: "Sena-
+ tor Browns objections to the Pendleton
/ bill were those of man who is not an
/ extreme partisan, but does not believe in
F the principles of the proposed REFORM
f Many other such comments might be add
/ ed to prove that Senator Brown is not
misunderstood even by Republicans who
I desire real reform, and that the great JOY
/ Of the Tins" over the supposed blunder is
having an early and sad termination in the
recognition by press and people of the
wisdom and sagacity of the Senator who
was brave and intrepid enough, singly and
alone, to unmask the hypOcritical scheme.

Senator Malone feels the sting of public
contempt. His passionate speech the
other day, when the little man strobe along
the aisle of the Senate chamber with his
arms up, flinging maledictiOn and brayado
from his vituperative tongue, shows that
his narrow soul does not sit easy in him.
He cannot repair his political fortunes or
recover whatever personal credit he may
have once possessed by posturing and fam
faronade. He must lie i'm the little bed he

The result of this concentration of power

Gus private axes to grind is what with

The Need of Foreign Markets.

The growth Of the United States in
wealth and population during the past
two decades, despite the enormous losses
involved by the tremendous civil conflict
that ragged for four years of this
period, eXcites the wonder of the world.
Yet, great as has been this
growth it could be vastly stimu-
lated We're our craftsmanship equal
to the task of fostering it. While
legislation can do little directly to pro-
mote the increase of national wealth it can
retard that increase in many ways. 1t is
an undoubted fact that, upon the whole,
the policy OF ldiSSez fare is the best cal
culated to help national growth, for such
a policy cOntemplates the least possible
interference with the business concerns
of people. Other things being equal,
the people that are least governed or least
affected by enactments prOfessedly for the
benefit Of the masses, but actually for the
few, will prosper most.
For years past this country has accepted
with but little complaint the doctrine that
the home market is sufficient for the scope
Of our manufacturing energies, and that
we need not concern ourselves about eff
fecting exchanges of our manufactures
abroad.
Great as is the volume of business trans
acted by our manufacturers, the sales of
their products could be vastly increased if
the proper steps were taken. The disad-
vantage of relying upon the home market
is apparent when we reflect upon the
chances of its being glutted, thus causing
relaxation Of industry and pecuniary loss
and suffering TO thousands of operatives.
This country is fast becoming the gran
arY and stOrehouse of the world, whence
the majority of the peoples of Christendom
win ere long draw their food supplies.
The reason of this is that the production
and disposition Of our agricultural pro-
ducts are not interfered with by govern
ma nt but are regulated by the natural law
Of supply and demand. Not so with our
manufactures. We pursue policy which
prevents our interchange with others, and
are thus confined largely to the home
market, reaping artificial profits, which,
while they enrich the receiver, leave the
consumer propOrtiOnately the worse off.
This country has reached a degree of
efficiency in the production of most of its
manufactures that will enable 1t TO CON-
pete anywhere with those of other coun-
tries. The time has come to make new
departure, TO extend our trade in every
direction, and to compete with our older
but no more skillful rivals.
What We want is a series Of reciprocity
treaties carefully framed, which will let
into this country the raw materials of
other lands to be worked up by American
skill into products that can be sent back
and exchanged with profit to the people
Of the United States. We have grown
wonderfully as a people, though
almost confined to the home market.
Give us markets abroad, and the stimu-
Ius to American industry will increase in
a ratio the like Of which the world has
not seen.
