Jay Gould the Sch enter.

Jay Gould's name is fast disappearing
from the directories of great corporations.
He has been relieved of great responsible
ties within the past year. First the Rock
Island directors dispensed with his services,
then he withdrew from the Louisville IL Nash
vile board, and from the directory Of the
Mercantile Trust company. Next the
Chicago 81 Northwestern thought it could
get along without him in the board.
His resignation as president Of the Wabash
occurred last August, but he remained d.
rector Two weeks ago the Union Pacific
stockholders decided TO relieve him of his
duties in their directory, and now he has re-
signed from the Wabash board. His with
drawal from the Wabash suggests suspicion
that he has in some way received from the
receivers the payment of his floating
claims against that company. The
Wabash was put into the hands Of
receiver last June on the
application Of Mr. Gould's assistant, the vice
president Of the company itself, and Mr.
Gould's associate, Mr.. Scion Humphreys,
ex-president and still director, was ap-
pointed receiver. By this action Mr.. Gould
forestalled the action Of the bondhoders
and secured control Of The company. Over
81, 900, 600 Of pfOmissory notes were out
standing. 1t is most likely that Gould has
stepped down in order, that when President
JOY appears before the English bondholders
at their meeting in London to-day he can
adduce the fact that Nr. Gould is DO longer
connected With it, as argument why they
should Lot assent to Mr.. Gould's impudent
scheme Of reorganization.

EUROPEAN COQUETRY.

England and Russia have recommended
their little military Irritation, but whether or
not it will lead to O real engagement is hard
to determine. Mr.. BAYARD, who is our
American secretary of state, and, from the
position he occupies, ought to know whereof
he speaks, says that war between England
and Russia is inevitable. If this be true
then we are to construe the supple-Jack
policy maintained between the two nations
as simply an expedient on the part OF each
to gain time for more thorough preparation
for great war. When it does come it will
be terrific struggle between giants, and all
Europe will tremble in the roar of the con-
fict. Where it will end and what the results
will be Omniscience alone can tell. SO
terrible are the possibilities that may grow
out of such war, we are inclined to doubt
the sincerity of either of these great powers
to precipitate it. Therefore we are still dis
posed to look upon their threatening attitude
more in the light of some diplomatic Chi
canery whereby one or the other will gain
national benefit in the way of concession of
territory or some commercial privilege.

WHY WE SEND TROOPS TO PANAMA
The Philadelphia News thus briefly ex-
plains why it is that we are sending troops to
Panama:
Apart from the insult offered to onr flag tn ere
are other reasons why Secretary WHITNEY should
order ships to be sent to Aspinwall
BY the treaty of 1876 with New Granada, now
guaranteed the neutrality Of the Isthmus of
Panama.
Attorney General BATES, in an opinion deliv-
cred in 1864 held that the thirty-fifth article of
the treaty with New Granada not only binds this
government absolutely to guarantee the perfect
neutrality of the Isthmus on demand Of the
proper parties, but also that this obligation must
be performed by any and all means which may
be found lawful and expedient.
TWAS upon such can Interpretation of the
treaty that WILLIAM II. AsPINwALL, after whom
the burned town was named, obtained charter
from the state of New York for the organization
Of the Panama railroad, which was built nnder a
distinct contract with the New Granadan gov
eminent, which guaranteed to that company the
rights, titles and privileges which the United
States are bound TO protect.
Not only American interests are 20 be pro-
tected, but the foreign lines of steamers to
France, England, Germany. New Zealand and
ness with the Panama railroad ard all of these
vast interests will be imperiled II our govern
ment does not act as it has promised to do.

FRAUDULENT PENSIONERS.
APOOr Show For Them Under the New Re-
gime--SOme Startling Cases.


WASHINGTON, April cit is not going to
be nearly as easy for fraudulent pension
claimants to get their cases through under
this administration as it was under the last
administration. One of the cases which has
just come before Commissioner Black for
action was that of an officer who early in the
war offered his resignation on account of
physical disability, and filed with his resig-
nation a certificate from the surgeon that he
had suffered from this disability for fourteen
years. On that showing his resignation was
accepted. That medical certificate secured
him complete immunity from military service,
No draft could reach him. In process of
time the arrears of pension act was
passed. This officer then filed an application
for pension on the ground that this disa-
hility was incurred in service. and that the
certificate which he had used to get himself
out of service was false in stating that he had
suffered from this disability fourteen years.
Com missioner Black has decided that man
can't hunt with hounds and run with horses
The certificate that he had suffered from this
disability Tor fourteen years he had used in
order 20 get himself out of the army
and keep himself beyond the reach of his
government and now he cannot be allowed
TO come in and discredit that certificate in
order to get pension. During the last four
years it has become customary in the pen
sion Office to give very wide con
struction to the words, SIN the line
Of duty" A pension was granted to
an officer who was injured in 1866 by being
thrown from au ambulance by the running
away of mules, when he was on his way to
attend reception given by his superior
officer. 1t was held in the interior depart
ment that it was a matter of military duty
for the inferior officer to attend a
reception Of his general and that he was
therefore in the line of his duty when on the
way to that social event. Taking this decis-
ion as a precedent the most absurd
claims in large numbers have been
filed. There are several applications
for pensions for injuries received bv officers
or men in personal alterations or quarrels
1t is urged that if the men were at the time
in the army, the decision above referred to
must be taken as a precedent for holding
that everything they did was Gin the
line of duty and the government must be
deemed to have given him an accident
insurance against their own carelessness or
the crime of comrades. This sort Of thing
will not proceed any further, and words Gin
the line of duty will be construed accord
ing TO their ordinary and usual
meaning, and men injured outside Of
what IS really the line Of duty
get no pensions. The result viii be large
saving to the government and much disap-
pointment among the frauds and among
very honest soldiers whose injuries, how ever,
give them no legal claim upon the COVE IN =
for aid

tween the hours of and z, for the purpose
of selecting delegates to the convention,
which is to be held tomorrow morning, and
for the additional purpose of nominating

1t is important that to-morrow's convention

and the way to make sure of a good ticket is
to appoint good delegates to the convention.
st. Paul is Democratic city, and has grown
to its present proportions under Democratic
management. The people of the city are
willing to risk the Democratic party with its
future prosperity, therefore it is all the more
important that the party shall give an earnest
pledge of its continued fidelity to the best in
terests of the city by the character of the
nominations 1t shall make.

WHILE France is proposing to further
diminish its population by sending out more
men to be wasted by war and disease in
China, French savant makes the startling
disclosure that while the birth rate through
out the republic in 1880 was 1919 per 1000,
it has in less than five years decreased to
259. This is taken as an evidence of the
increasing immoral condition of the country
and especially in respect of abandonment OF
illegitimately-bo children. A remedy is
proposed in guarantee of secrecy to any
mother who will leave her child at found
ling asylum, and the phiianthropic savant
proposes to encourage population by having
the government give prizes and exempt from
taxation parents having families of more
than two children.

CoNsIsrENCY's A JEWEL.
Vie,cs of Temperance Legislator on the
Pass Question.

Arkausaw Traveller.
The ''free pass' question has very much
agitated the present session Of the Arkansaw
legislature. The other day a well-known
representative arose and said:
''Mr. Speaker, / wish TO offer a resolution
making II misdemeanor for any member
of future session Of the Arkansaw legisla-
ture to accept a free pass over railroad"
''Why not let it apply to the members OF
the present session." some one asked.
sob, no, that won't DO. We've all got
passes and It would be impolite to return
them. Sir, this pass system is wrong. 1t
has a tendency. SIR, to corrupt, bat it saves
money If they hadn't sent me a pass /
don't know how would have got here.
Reckon I'd had to walk, but, sir, It is our
duty to remove future legislators from temta-
ton am in favor Of all good measures,
and promised my people that / would work
for the temperance cause. am temper

In turning suddenly his coat tails struck
the corner Of the desk. Reaching back and
taking the dripping fragments Of a bottle
from his pocket be remarked: ''Temper
apce is the salvation Of man and the Joy Of
woman. hut I'd ike deviiish well TO know
who put that bottle in my pocket. Smells

MORRISON,s WITHDRAWAL.

Under all the circumstances the Demo
cratic leaders are probably taking the wisest
course in Withdrawing Col. MORRISON from
the Illinois senatorial contest and putting a
new RICHMOND in the field. The main thing
to do is to beat LOGAN. 1t is now evident
that this point cannot be secured by keeping
MORRISON in the field. If there is another
Democrat in Illinois who can accomplish II
then the proper thing to do Is to trot that
other Democrat to the front LOGAN must
be defeated, and Illinois should have a Dem
ocratic senator. Col. MORRISON has made a
good fight, and it is pity that he cannot
win. His pluck and abilities entitle him 10
the place his Democratic friends had named
him for. But there are personal antagon-
isms in his own party that he cannot over
come, and of course the only thing left for
the party to do to withdraw him as their can
didate and substitute the name of some gen.
tleman who can be elected. As this fact be-
comes apparent there is no one who will be
more prompt to recognize It or will more
gracefully bow to the situation than WILLIAM
r. MORRISON, whose love of Democracy is
only surpassed by his love of country.

THE hostile tribes who wage war against
the skating rink have gained valuable ally
in the proprietor of Philadelphia skating
establishment, who has been detected as an
adept in the art of seduction. That rink
manager should turn out to be bad man is
really no more argument against the Kinks
than that a minister of the gospel falling
from grace should be an argument against
the church. Still in the present temper of
the public mind with reference to roller
skating, the Philadelphia escapade will go a
long ways towards breaking down the Kinks.
The craze is ezhausting itself anyway, and
the collapse is bound to come sooner or later,
and perhaps it might be better that it should
come before the Philadelphia incident has an
opportunity to repeat itself.
