TIE Pension ROLL.


There seems to be no bounds to the pos
sible increase OF the Pension Roll, for
enormous as the demand upon the revenue
is, the average Congressman still thinks it
profitable thing to propose extensions of
the list at every opportunity. In fact it
is open to suspicion that the Protectionists
may be engaged in this work, with view
to disposing of all surplus revenue SO as to
render impossible any reduction of the
tariff. In any case the Pension Rolls are
swelling all the time, and notwithstanding
the strength of the popular protests against
this reckless use of the funds in the Treas
ury, Congress continues to acs in the
premises as though it thought the whole
country was positively yearuing to pay
heavier taxes than at present, in order to
afford richer plumber for impostors and
swindlers.

PORTER ARD CONGRESS-.

Logan's attack upon the Fitz John Por-
ter bill does not appear to have contained
either any new facts or any new pre-
sentation of old facts. Logan has one of
those awkwardly inelastic intellects which
cannot be made to take in new truths.
Having at one time convinced himself, on
false and invalid evidence, that Porter was
guilty, he has ever since been incapable of
changing his mind, or what he calls his
mind. 1t is scarcely necessary to say that
his authority upon matter of this kind
is comparatively worthless when opposed
to Grants, and when, with characteristic
egotism, he posed in the Senate as a
man who did his own thinking it is strange
that none of his colleagues thought of
remarking that such thinking as he is cap
able of does not stand in need of assistance
But it is evident that this case is not to
be disposed of upon its merits. The blind,
stupid and malignant opposition of Logan
to the reinstatement of Porter will no
doubt influence many Republican Con-
gressmen who allow others to do their
thinking for them. In other cases politi-
cal considerations will be paramount. And
probably Porter will have to wait for a
Democratic Congress before he can hope
to obtain that justice which he undoubt.
eddy deserves, and which is now withheld
from him only by the most dishonest defiance
and misrepresentation of the actual facts
of his case.

THE PROSPECTS OF SACRAMENTO.

We present this morning our annual re-
view of the business of Sacramento, and it
will be seen at glance that the figures are
most satisfactory. During the past year
the business of the city has advanced So.
30S, $40 over that of 1881. The aggregate
for 1882 is $40, 70l, S75, as against S35, 392,-
935 for 1881. We shipped last year H.
922, $50 pounds of merchandise, as against
50, S95, 594 pounds in 1881. Thus it is ap-
parent that there has been an increase of
business in the past twelve months amount
ing to fifteen per cent. over that of the
preceding year, and it is very certain that
few of the California business centers, if
any, can make as favorable showing. The
advantages which Sacramento possesses,
and which the REooRD.UNIoN has con.
tinuously and deliberately set forth from year
to year in its New Years issues, are such
as to secure to it steady growth, against
which no rivalry can maintain itself. 1t is
true, on the other hand, that the city is in
need of some internal improvements, such
as better drainage system, and that her
citizens will have to supply these defects in
their own interest. But no city can be found
which has no difficulties and drawbacks to
contend with, and those are fortunate
which are only suffering from evils which
it is in the power of its inhabitants to re.
move or remedy. 1t is also to be noted
that Sacramento has now reached stage
of business development at which progress
must become more rapid and extensive
than it has hitherto been, and this is
proved by the fact that every year now
the aggregate business growth becomes
larger in proportion. We have not only
fuller settlement in the State itself to look
to, but the constant addition of new mar.
kets to our resources. Every year trans.
portation facilities become greater, and
with the increase in the volume of traffic
comes corresponding reduction in the
cost of carriage. Every such reduction
enlarges the area which our merchants can
supply, and if the natural commercial laws
which regulate transportation are not in.
terfered with so as to destroy the Inherent
advantages of shipping centers, the future
prosperity of Sacramento may be regarded
as thoroughly assured.

like remark that they might be the Ford
Brothers, but they could not drink any
blood in Boston, when the manager OF the
show appeared, and promised that they
should appear when called upon. 1t is IN
teresting to observe how swiftly these i'm
pudent impostors collapsed when one
determined man faced them. They H.
stantly laid aside their staggering and
ferocious air, and began to beg for
protection. It is also interesting to
note the preposterous timidity, not to
say cowardice, Of the audience. Here
were several hundred men actually run
ming away, and jumping out of windows,
to escape from two individuals. 1t is per-
fectly safe to say that this would not have
happened in Western audience. If the
Ford brothers had undertaken to bully
such an assemblage, it would have been
their last mundane enterprise. They
would not have had to do more than draw
their pistols to secure a volley from the
audience which would have settled their
lecturing tour effectually for them. But
they evidently presumed upon the peace
fulness of the Boston people, and not
without justification. 1t is because most
people are SO cowardly that train and
stage robberies are possible. No man
could rob car full of passengers if even a
few of them possessed any pluck. The
Ford brothers, however, are pursuing a
course which is very likely to end in their
dying with their boots on" for even in
Boston there are no doubt plenty of roughs
who are not disposed to be put down by
these Missouri outlaws. As to the au-
dience that was thus victimized and STAN
peded, however, it certainly is not entitled
to any sympathy, for it disgraced itself by
being where it was.

Rydal Chapel, where Wordsworth wor-
shipped so many years, is undergoing re.
pairs. The chancel will probably be en-
larged, and there is certainty of new pews.
To make room for their successors the old
pews were removed to the churchyard,
where, for a time, they attracted little no.
tice. But at last the enthusiasts awoke
and carried away Wordsworth's pew in
short order, but whether whole or piecemeal
the reports do not say. Much regret is
expressed that the ancient furniture was
made of common pine. for even hero

A STRANGE BOSTON SCENE.

The Ford Brothers have succeeded in
stampeding Boston audience, though how
they came to have Boston audience re.
quires to be explained. 1t appears that
some roughs among the spectators ex-
pressed the opinion that the fraternal
assassins were "no good, whereupon, to
show that they were some good, they
sprang down into the audience with their
revolvers, and began to lay about them.
Thereupon panic ensued. Men tried to
jump out of the windows. and in SO much
hurry that they carried the sashes with
them. Meantime a solitary policeman,

AUSTRIA.

Austria, too, has had quiet year, though her
recently acquired Turkish dependencies have been
as usual more less turbulent. This tendency of
theirs TO insurrecton is not altogether the effect OF
innate depravity, but is partly attributable to the
historical fact that the Austrans do not know how
to govern and that they have invariably, and at all
times, rendered themselves detested by their intol
cradle arrogance, brutality and severity In fact any
people who would or could submit tamely to Aus
riau rule must be spritless creatures 1t is quite
possible that the Austrians thernseh do not
prehend this, and attribute every rising against
them to thu ingratitude and perverseness of their
victims. But it is certain that they are natural OPP
pressors and tyrants and that they only hold SUBJ
iugated territory by the sword unless they
or destroy the inhabitants. Austria has strength
ened herself greatly by her alliance with Germany
and when the present regime ends in the latter
country; that is, when Emperor William and Bis
marck die ; the House of Hapsburg may be in po
stion to take advantage OF the possible wrecking of
the mpei al fabric which will follow. Certainly the
Austrian Government would rather extend its leu
tonic than its savonc element. OF late it has been
seemingly shut up in the latter and has been COM
PEELED to develop a Panslavonc programme. But
il it could, at the expense Of itz Slavonic de-
tendencies, secure firm hold upon Germany, there
can be no doubt that it would prefer this line of
action.

force, has attained such dimensions to threaten

Japan has begun of late to suspect that she may
have taken too large dose OF Western civilization
and some reaction in favor Of national customs has
set in. The foreign commerce of the country, how.

them that more docile and intelligent people never

been for the Egg ptan loans. The fact, however, is
that these loans were contracted before there was
any interference, and that if there had been
any Ismail Pasha and his successors would have
simply gone on borrowing money as long as they

means OF paying interest these loans The normal
