TIE PENSION SWINDLE.

The resolution of Senator Ingalls,,
which is before the Senate, afiirms the
justice of the pension arrears act as it
now stands. Through what process of
mind any sensible man can arrive at
such a conclusion is 4 mystery to us,
but even sensible men have their hob
bies, and the pension arrears bill is the
one upon which Senator Ingalls, has
been cavorting. 1t is pure and undul-
tcrated demagogery, however, to meet
statements OF frauds in the present
working of the pension arrears act by
tho old stock cry that the rights of those
who ssserved the country and 'tsavcd
the Union" should ever be regarded.
No man, North or South, or at least
very few, denies the responsibility rest
ing upon the General Government to
care for those who fought the battles Of
Union, and who may be entitled to
pensions. We of the South, although
our own crippled, and in many cases
impoverished veterans are forever de-
barred from Government relief, make
no objection to bearing our part of the
burdens which the obligations to the
Union veterans entail. But we do
object, and most decidedly too, to being
taxed for the support of buinmers and
camp followers, and OF frauds of every
description. We do not wish to assist
in enriching claim agents, pension law
yers and Il corrupt lobby. The fact is
notorious that IA large proportion of tho
claims against the Government Tor
pension arrears have been fraudulent,
and no amount of simulated interest
! in the Union soldiers should divert the
attention of Congress from this fact
The Commissioner of Pensions has

hundred agents, whose duty it viii be
to sift out the pension rolls, and TO dis
cover the fraudulent pensioners. Sucl

NEVER TELL A LIE.
IROston POSt.l

Somehow, theory and practice don't
seem to hitch up together much better
than an elderly and irascibte cat and
bulldog in the feytlay Of bis youth and
cussedncss. Lest Sunday Parson Ban
gle became disgusted with the untruth-
fulness Of mankind and preached a Wig
orous sermon in denunciation ofsocicty
f,lschood. He declared that lies told
just out Of politeness were just as wick
ed as those told with the deliberate in
tention of deceiving as to the value of
horse. In fact, these society lies got
folks into the habit of lying, and they
readily pick up the other kind.
The sermon made great impression.
Many of the congregation resolved TO
reform. Coming out Of church, Deacon
Jones said to Judge Badger, who sits in
front Of him: ssJudge hope you dindn't
mind my putting my feet under your
pew" The Judge YVES about to reply,
"Oh, certainly not;" but he thought of
the sermon and answered, "I did,
though; your old boots took up all the
room, and were q fearful nuisance"
uWell," said the deacon, "the hairoil
you use smells so it nearly forced Us to
leave the pew" They glared at each
other, and just then Mrs. Badger and
Miss Jinkins came along. Miss Jinkins
had asked ,"IIow do you like my new
bonnet?" go, thought it just love-
replied Mrs. B, and then she thought
of the sermon, and continued, "No,
didn't, either. 1t is n horrid thing.
wouldn't bc seen with it." And Miss
Jinkins got mad and replied, ,"Well if
were you, pdnot wear dirty stocking
to church; and ifI did, I'd keep then
out Of sight"

TIE LARGE STATES AND THE SMALL
STATES.
[New York Sun, 9th.l

On opening the debate in tho House
On tie bill for apportioning representa-
tives under the last census, the usual
conflict arose between the small States
and the large States. The former com
planned that the latter had combined
to deprive them of their due share of
members.
There seems to be no way Of reliev-
ing the small States. Take New Eng
land, for example, which suffers a
decline of membership under the pend
ing bill. Those six States do not
increase in population so rapidly as the
Middle and Western States: and of
course the membership of the former
must be reduced.
1t is none the less irritating, how
ever, to the shrewd, ambitious YAM
KEGS to see their power in the House
steadily. waning. In a Congress with
hardly half as many representatives as
the next will contain Maine had eight
members. 1t will now get but four.
For long while New Hampshire had
six members. 1t now must take up
with two. Vermont, which in days
gone by had six, now drops to one.
Rhode Island has always had two men,
bers. The pending bills gives the State
barely one. The time was when Con-
necticut had seven. 1t will now stand
at four. When Webster was first chosen
to Congress from Boston, Massachu-
sets had fourteen representatives. The
State has since grown in population,
opulcnce and wealth. But in House
twice as numerous as that wherein
Webster made his speech on the Greek
revolution it can scarcely obtain twelve
members. In short, under the Eend-
III r. s1I~ r -.
elected ono-eighth of the House, will
Of it during tho next ton years.
But New England finds compcnsa-
tion in the Senate, as do all the small
States which look with envious eyes
upon the increased representation of
the large States in the House. New
England will have only twenty-four
members in the House, but she retains
her twelve Senators. Tho six States
which lie Immediately west of her,
reaching from New York to Illinois,
will have one hundred and twenty-five
members under tho new apportion-
ment, OF more than five times as many
as the six New England States; but
they have only their twelve Senators.
The enterprising sons of tho Pilgrim
land know how to utilize their power
in the Senate. Their twelve Senators
are Chairmcn Of six frst-ratc commit
tees, and of five of the second class.
But the twelve Senators from tho other
six States just referred to are Chairmcn
of only two important committees, and
Of five of an inferior grade. And thus
it has been ever since the Republicans
controlled the Senate.
When the smaller States grumble at
the larger because of their increased
membership in the House, the former
must draw consolation from their com
paratively superior power in the Sen

COST TO TIE NATION OF GUITEAU'S
CRIME.

Tho expenses OF the trial OF Guitcali,
apart from the cost of his awful crime,
are considerable. Just what they will
amount to cannot be told, but at the
least calculation 500, 900 will not be in
excess of the amount needed to settle
the bills. The Department of Justice
will fix the compensation to DO paid
Judge Porter md Lawyer Davidgc, but
they will not be given less than 50 900
each. Judge Porter, who has been
under heavy expenses during his rest
ttence here, would probably not regard
SIG, 900 as an adequate fee for his SER
vices. The District Attorney and Mar
shal arc both paid fees. The fees for
the jury will amount to 81 $3.50, their
board bills at the National Hotel will
aggregate between $4,000 and $500; !;
for witnesses, including mileage, there
has bcer paid 5000 So, Of which sum
$3.50 So was paid on behalf of the
Government and $3.50 fO- the defend
ant. About $1,000 will be required to
pay the expenses of reporting the trial.
The printing from day to day has been
done Mt the Government printing Office,
, and its cost must amount to Il consid-
erabie sum. Seven deputy marshafs
will receive Si302 for watching and
protecting the murderer in court.
! There are also miscellaneous items
such as physicians charges for attend
ance on the jury, chairs in the court
room and scores of small incidental
expenses that will amount to at lcost
$1,000. 1t is not improbable that all
the expenses of the assassination, from
the time of tho shooting of President
Garfield to the day when his murderer
is hanged will be 1886, ,68o.-- H"Sh''ty-
