The Ass's Back and Its Burden.
The "perpe ual pensions" now paid by
England to the descendants of great men
are $4,000 per annum to the Churchill who
represents the Duke of Marlborough; $4,000
per annum to a Mr.. Stewart, who is the
nearest descendant of William Penn: $4,000
per annum to the individual (who Is not a
direct descendant, by the way) representing
Lord Nelson; $4,000 year to the present
Earl Rodney; $4,000 year to Vscount Tx
mouth, who is at present minor; $4,000 to
Earl Amherst, as compensation for an al
legged grant of land, which George III was
unable to carry out; 1854 per annum to the
heirs of the Duke of Schomberg forever, be-
cause he was a fayorite of William III. !;
$1,000 year since 1914 10 the holder of the
earldom of Bath; SOTO per annum granted
by Charles ii. to the Earl of Kinnoull; eS49
granted by the same King to the Duke of
Grafton; two pensions of e7s6 1Ss. Cd.
granted to Sir Piers Mostyn and Sir W. Eden
in perpetuity as compensation for the loss
of offices. There are also pensions of from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, which will expire with
the third life in each case, paid to yiscounts
Hardings, Cough and Combermere; Lords
Keane, Seaton, Raglan, and Napier of Mag
dala; Sir w. J. Williams of Kars, and Sir
Henry Havelock-Allan. Taking the last
nine to average el500 year each, these

DAvITT, Healy aud Quinn have been re-
eased from Kilmainham. 1t matters not
~hy they were released, but it is quite GER
tain that they have been either wrongfully
incarcerated or their turning loose again is
a blunder. These men are either dangerous
conspirators working with plant human
tools, or they are patriots, to wantonly op-
press whom is autocratic eriminality. The
Insult which thrust them into cells and the
conlumely with which, unheralded, they
were thrust into the streets again will GER
tainly be charged, at long credit rates,
among the accounts which ireland is keer-
ing with her insolent debtor Great Britain.
As Mr.. Davitt will shortly be in America,
and as be is cool, conservative and talented,
1t is probable that his rscitals ON the lecture
platform will be revelations to the descend
ants of those who had to wrest their liberty
from the same oppressors.

The era of harmony and reconciliation in
Russia can hardly be said to have fairly
set in when the Mayor of Moscow is sent
into exile for having suggested in the course
of an after-dinner speech that it would be a

Some limited kind of constitutional govern

SUMNER weather has set in with a sudden
ness which indicates that the season is bent
on making up for lost time, and the man
who Tuesday morning put on his Winter
fannels because this climate is so uncertain,
had reason to regret his caution before the
day closed. This glorious climate of onrs
does nothing by halves, and when it sets in
to be hot, one need be a salamander to pre-
serve ones comfort under the ordeal As no
amount Of Tuning and fretting, however,
will have the least effect upon the mercury,
1t is the part of wisdom to make the best of
the situation and to keep as cool mentally as
may be possible under the circumstances. 1t
will be all the same hundred years hence,

DODGE CRY, Kansas, is the scene jus.
now of struggle between the forces Of law
and order and those elements which in new
communities are so apt to run to riot and
disturbance AT last accounts the execu-
tants of the law seemed to be getting the
upper hand in the struggle, and though their
success has not been secured without the
cooperation of the military, there is reason
to believe that it will be permanent. The
authorities who are able to suppress all
kinds of gambling in new western town
must be regarded as masters of the situation.

No other verdict vas to have been expect
ed or would have been justified than that at
which the jury of inquest on the victims of
the Brooklyn bridge disaster srrived. The
jury oontented itself with finding that the
deceased came to their death BY being
crushed, and that the trustees were blame
worthy for not stationing greater number
of police at the seen of the accident. That
WAS the one respect which greater precau
tons might have been taken, though it is
very doubtful if any number of police could
have prevented the disaster after the panic
had once set in, for a panic-stricken crowd

The record for May shows that the de-
struction of property by fire in the United
States and Canada falls this year considera-
bly, below the average of the past eight years.
The average for May during that period is
seven million five hundred and seventy sew
en- thousand dollars. The losses of the past
month amount TO seven millions, which is
three-quarters of million less than the May
loss of last year.

IN mild, matter-of-fact kind of way dis
patches from Austin, Texas, relate that the
Grand Jury has found Indictments against
half hundred legislators for gambling
that these same Lawmakers and law-break-
ers have quilted town, leaving money 10 pay
their fines; that unknown parties have
stolen all the gambling indictments, and
that while there is no clue to the thief or
thieves, the gambling fraternity are jubilant.
The inference to be drawn from these brief
recitals are broad and numerous, and they
point to condition OF public morals that is
most revolving. 1t is not surprising that
among the citizens who are of lower grade
than Legislators the knife and the pistol are
so frequently in use.

nor his Immediate friends, or, so far as l
know, any person in confidential relations

THE fact has just come out that in May of
last year the Union East River) Ferry Com

the Brooklyn city hospital. 1t appears that
clause in the company's charter GRANTED
in 1854 requires that any surplus remaining
after the payment of expenses and a ten per
cent dividend shall be turned over to the
