The Pension Abuses.

1t has been testified before congress
sional committee that the examiners in the
pension office were instructed during the
last campaign not to report any case for
rejection lest the disappointed applicants
would oppose the Republican candidates
for office, and that a worthy case of a
widow urged by Mr.. Holman, was " held
up for requirements on technical defect
because one Holman was great objec-
tor" and " a id Democrat.
Thisi fair specimen of the abuses to
which this department has been subject
1t was noticeable all over the country that
pensioners, grantees and applicants, were
buil-dozed into voting the Republican
ticket. The agents of the department were
busy everywhere eoercing Democratic sol
diers. These practices should be probed
TO the core and every last rascal be turned
out neck and heels.

The Northwest Lumber Trade.

The Chicago Northeastern Lumberman
in review Of the lumber product in the
Northwest says that the white pine lumber
cut in 1854 WIS s,070 553,05i feet as com pared
with 1924, 7s9, $50 feet in lss3. The shingle
production in 1854 was l,5i3, s26, ,000 against
1854, ,756, $50 in 1881 There are on hand at the
mills 3,5l6, ,957, Il6 feet Of lumber, i3 per cent
of the entire cut. The lumber mt distribu-
ting markets makes the entire stock on hand
nearly 6,0O0,000 900 feet
From this 1t will be seen that the grand
total of the lumber cut of 1884 exceeds that of
1888 by nearly half billion feet, or about as
much rs Chicago and its suburbs consume in
an entire wear.

THE vest pocket voters tomorrow will have
Democratic names on their ballots

SATURDAY seems to have been poor day
for ST. Valentine. At the Philadelphia post
Office the business in these sweet missives
was only half of that done last year. and in
New York the proportion was only one
fourth. In Lancaster the postoffice employees
found their work lighter than usual, and in
quiry at the stores where valentines were
sold elcits the information that the sales
were unusually small, and that those
purchased were generally of the cheaper
variety. This is a sad state of affairs. The
conclusion that seems inevitable is that the
Christmas, New Year, Easter, thanksgiving
and birthday cards are driving out the liter
ature of Saint Valentine. But hard times
were upon us this year. and business will be
better a year hence. Then let us hope that
the valentine will be given anew and sturdier
lease of life.

NoTE for Democratic candidates for council
as a wholesome check on a careless mayor

THERE is Il fashionable folly that has taken
hold of the fair sex at the present time that
physicians pronounce most harmful. 1t is
the frequent use of yinaigrettes, or smelling
bottles, by young women in fashionable So
ciety. 1t has the effect of stimulating nerves
rendered shaky by late hours or indulgence
in dissipation. But the strength of the salts
contained in the bottles must be increased, as
must the dose of opium for the victim of the
latter habit AS consequence the olEctory
nerves become blnnted and constant head
ache result The pretty vinaigrettes make a
very aesthetic adornment attached to lady's
belt, and they do offer an opportunity for
the exhibition of well moulded arm and
trim waist, but those who use them will
have serious reckoning to pay some day

MATTHEW ARNOLD, since he has come

change some of his preconceived notions
about American institutions that were de-
rived from the indiscriminate reading of the
views offoreign travellers in the United States.
He finds that our political corruption is cxag-
gerated though few could blame any one for
believing that American politics are all that
is debasing, if the views of the best class OF
journals in heated campaign were taken as
an authority. He notes the entire absence OF
classes in American institutions and decides
therefrom that our danger from revolution is
not so great as the older European countries
where class distinctions prevail. The views
Of intelligent foreigners on things American
are always interesting to those made the sub
ject of them, and when they contain a slight
