A Brave Cashier.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

TTUNI Vtt OtVttHWtII ENVWVtT.
All of the dispatches agree in stating that the
cashier of thar Idaho bank was brave man
Aye, but was he prudent one: When the four
masked robbers asked for his cash he said. "All
right, gentlemen turned toward the vault
closed its doors, locked them, and then. with
folded arms, faced the rObbers. They shot him
to death. What does he get for this? Did he
examine the presidents? Twice in the last de-
cade-once in Minnesota and once in Iowa.
bank cashier has gone to his death in the same
way, and. in each instance. the corporation
which he served has left his wife to provide for
their children by her own labor. While consid-
ering that this Idaho cashier was a brave
man. we must insist that he was nevertheless,
a great fool The proper thing for him to have
done was to divide the spols with his guests.

Public Building Appropriations.

Mr. Randall is opposed to liberal ap1rO-
priations for public buildings. On last
Thursday he led the opposition to the con-
sideration of public building bills. For two
hours or more the House was in an uproar,
and no business whatever was done. The
time consumed in the wrangle would have
been more than sufficient to consider all the
bills which Congressman Dibble, the Chair
man of the Committee on Public Buildings,
had reported favornbly.
But why is Mr.. Randall opposed to spend
ing the public money for public buildingsl
There are many millions of dollars in the
Treasury which ought TO be distributed,
and what better way is there for distributing
it2 In his last report the Postmaster Gen
eral said that it would be advis-
able for many reasons for the
government to own buildings for
its post offices in all the most important
towns and cities. One of the reasons was
that it would be more economical. A
moments thought will convince any one
that this reason is a sound one, The gov
eminent has great deal more money than
it has any use for, and at the same time it is
paying hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually in rent for buildings occupied as
post offices
Mr. Randall is chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, and he prides him
self upon his ability to keep the appropria-
tions within certain limits. He would
rather have the reputation of reporting
small appropriation bills than see the towns
90 ~ hNrt ha e
public buildings, which are not only needed
by the government, but which would in the
long run be the means of saving the gov
eminent money.
His position is one that is difficult to I'M
derstand He opposes the policy of his party
for reducing the Treasury surplus, aud also
opposes the wise methods proposed for get
ting rid of tho surplus. He seems to be
willing that the money which is SO much
needed in circulation shall be boarded in the
Treasury, although knowing that policy
of that kind must sooner or later end in
disastrous financial troubles.
The construction of handsome public
buildings would not only be good for the
government, but it would be good for the
people, because it would afford employment
to mechanics and laborers, and thev in turn
would distribute their earnings in the chan
nels of trade. OF course care should be
taken to authorize public buildings only
where they are needed, and cities Of i'm
portance should be treated literally. For
instance, $500, 900 should be spent upon the
proposed public building in Savannah in
stead of 500, 900.

Some interesting Pension Figures.

The pension burden is steadily increasing
Ten years ago it was hardly $40,00O,OOO a
year, and it was then thought that it would
never be much larger Now it is $50, OJO,-
900. A day or two ago the Senate voted to
give the widow of an ex-Union General an
annual pension of s., 900, although she is
far from being in needy circumstances AT
the same time the pension OF the widow oil
another x-Union General was increased to
81, 600 Every pension Of this kind makes
an excuse and a precedent for another.
The new dependent pension bill is now
before the Senate with favorable report
There is no doubt that it will be passed by
that body, and the probabilities are that 1t
will be passed by the House. 1t differs in
some important respects from the pension
bill passed by the last Congress which the
President vetoed. The present bill pro
vides pensions for dependent parents and
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors
who are dependent upon their own labor
tor support, and who are wholly incapacl-
tated for the performance of any manual
labor. Under the vetoed bill it was not
necessary to show incapacity to perform
any manual labor whatever in order to re-
ceive pension. Inability to earn q COM
Portable support was sufficient.
Nobody can say how much it would re-
quire to meet the demands of the pending
bill Its friends say that less than S. ,0OO-
600 year would be needed. In his message
vetoing the bill of the last Congress, the Presi-
dent said he was satisfied the amount re
quired would be many times greater than
that estimated. In support of this opinion
he called attention to the act of 1918, pro-
viding pensions for dependent revolutionary
soldiers. 1t was estimated when that act
was pending that the number of its bene-
flciaries would not be moro than 374. 1t
proved to DO 22,297, or about 60 times as
many. Assuming that the estimate
for the pending bill is about as
near correct as that for the revolutionary
act was it would increase the annual pension
burden more than 5000 900, 600 And why
should it not be as near correct2 The means
for getting at the truth are no better than
they were then.
Is the country willing that such an in
crease shall be made to its pension burden?
An effort is being made to reduce the reve-
nues because they are about $50, 0O0000
year in excess of the expenditures. If this
dependent pension bill were to become
law the revenues would have to be greatly
| increased. And there is one thing that is
worth the careful consideration of the
South. The pension money, amounting to
nearly $500, 600 900 year, would be almost
wholly distributed in the North. The South
would be impoverished to enrich the North.

WASHINGTON, April TN pursuance
of the call by Representative Cox, chair
man of the caucus committee, the Demo
cratic Representatives met at s o'clock
this evening at the capitol and remained
in secret session for two hours and a
half. AS announced in the call, the
principal subject of discussion was the
admission of territories into the Union.
After debate the following resolutl on
was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that an enabling act for the ter
ritories of Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton and New Mexico, should be passed
at this session, providing for cOnstitu-
tional conventions in each territory,
and the submission of these cOnstitu-
tionS for ratification or rejection at the
November elections in 1888, SubStantl-
ally as provided for in the bill reported
by the committee on territories at this
session.
A resolution was also adopted request
ing the committee on rules to fix time
for the consideration of bills fOrfeiting
railroad land grants reported by the
committee on public lands. Just before
the adjournment of the caucus, one
member suggested the consideration of
the existing deadlock in legislation, but
the regular order was called for. and the
pending motion to adjourn was carried.
There was sentiment among members
present in favor of caucus on the
deadlock question Monday evening, and
there is possibility that call to this
end may be issued Monday. The bill to
create territorial form of government
for Oklahoma was also discussed, but
no final action was taken in the way of
q formal Endorsement.

THE OIL TRUST.
How the Standard Company Was
Squeezed for Some Oil.

How the Standard Company Was
Squeezed for Some Oil.
WASHINGTON, April THE inveSti-
cation of the oil trust was resumed this
morning by the house committee on
manufactures. David Kirk, of Brad
ford, Pa, said he was member of the
Producers Protective Association of
Pennsylvania and New York. 1t was
made up of about 1900 members and
had thirty-siX local assemblies. Witness
was one of the promoters Of the associa-
ton, to which were eligible petroleum
producers and others interested in the
business, including individual refnerS.
1t had no connection whatever with the
Standard Oil company. 1t was organ
lied as protection against the Stand
ard. After its formation it was
found that great deal of capital
would be required to build new sys-
TEN of pipe lines, SO a committee waited
on the Standard Oil company and finally
came to an agreement with it. This
was in September, at which time there
was a stock of 31,O00, 900 barrels on hand,
held by the National Transit company.
The Standard agreed to give the Pro-
ducers' association the profits on 5,000,-
600 barrels if the association would
agree to cut down its production 1880
barrels per day and refrain from open
ing new wells. The first act of the
Producers association was to set aside
the profits of 100000 barrels for the
labor effected by the shut down. They
went back to the Standard and squeezed
another 1,O00 600 barrels from it for the
same purpose. The stock Oh hand on
April l was about 2G,0000O0. There
had been daily average reduction of
$4,000 barrels since the contract had
been in force with the Standard.

THREE MEN KILLED.
A Locomotive Engine Explodes
With Terrible Results.

NEwBURG, N. Y, April AT 5
o'clock last evening the big Mogul
freight engine exploded on the Erie rail
road at Craigville. Three men were
killed, two instantly and one died this
morning. The train was standing still
at the foot of heavy grade, and Engi-
neer John Bodine, Conductor John
Clarke and Fireman Boyce were stand
ing on the ground beside the
engine repairing sand pipes, which
had become clogged. The explosion
hurled the boiler several hundred feet
over the stream and into an adjoining
field. The fire box was thrown far into
the air and came down into the stream.
A heavy iron rod was thrown distance
of quarter of mile and other parts of
machinery were scattered in various
directions. The report of the explosion
was heard for miles around and win
dows of houses were broken. Only the
heavy driving wheels were left ON the
track. The engineer and fireman were
thrown on either side of the track and
when assistance came they were dead.
Conductor Clarke was yet alive, but his
skull was crushed and he had internal
injuries. He was taken to a house
nearby where he died.
