The Defeated Pension Scheme.

II
The ingalls, scheme to saddle the coun-
try with an additional pension charge
has been defeated. Sherman, Hawley
and few other Republican Senators had
the courage and good sense to support the
Democrats in giving it a black eye. 1t
would have taken out Of the Treasury If
it had succeeded, about $3.50, 100000. No
country could stand such reckless
legislation as. was proposed in this
pension scheme. 1t would
have become the source Of innumerable
frauds. Senator Sherman wisely said
that the men who had neglected Tor twen-
IL years to apply for a pension did not
need it.. There are very few OF
them, however, who would not
have applied if the ingalls,
amendment had become a law. The
amount they would have been entitled to
in a lump would have been so large that
they wouldn't have neglected it. The
pension agents would have taken care that
they didn't neglect il. The soldiers,
or at least that portion Of them whose
opinions are worth something, will think
none the worse Of the Senators who voted
against the Ingalls, plundering scheme.
The excuse that Ingalls, advances for the
scheme, viz. that il is advocated in the
Republican national platform, is unwOr-
thy Of so bright man. He knows very
well that the platform was framed to
catch votes and not 10 guide the party in
legislating. 1t is probable that he never
expected his amendment would become
law, but hoped to gain a little
cheap notoriety for himself, and at the
same time to place the Democrats in
the position Of opposing pensions for the
ex-sOldiers. 1t may be accepted as GER
tian that the Democrats will lose nothing
by opposing all reckless pension schemes.
The country has begun to feel that it has
about discharged its debt to the soldier
/ element. AS long as there is chance
/ for pension legislation, however, there is
certain to be demagOgues to present bills
providing for additional pension charges

One of the most interesting institutions

by Au Yang Ming, Chinese Consul Gen.

Asa matter Of fact the soldier is not the
prominent advocate for eXtravagant pension
legislation. but the pension agent, who grows
rich at the expense alike of the soldier ana
the public As the lobby in favor of the pres
ent bin is composed largely OF the friends OF a
high tariff, il is surmised in some quarters
that the scheme originated with them.
Whether this be so or not, the result would be
mot only an absorption of the existing sur
plus in the Treasury, but also an arrest of the
progressive reduction of the public debt, the
summary extinguishment OF all endeavors TO
abolish internal revenue taxation, ana the
in the future that we doubt whether the pres
ont generation viii ever live to see it,

THE SENSATIONAL Preacher
From the ancient quaint phrase OF the Bible
He carelessly chooses text,
And then drifts away in a lecture
That leaves the true question unveXed;
But he catches the ear Of his hearers.
Which often is longer than fine.
With a brlc- a-brac sermon layman
Might preach ''o'er the walnuts and wine."
To-day he slings mud at officials,
Tomorrow he'll handle the '.press,"
In the hope of free advertisement,
Be il either kick or caress;
And he mixes the slang of elections
With patter of tea-tabe talk,
And instead OF the milk OF the Scriptures,
Is prOfuse with his water and chalk.
