The Laugh on SackvilIe's Side.
From. the Chicuoo Ns,rs

Lord Sackville can now consider himself even
with the American people. AS the frontiersman
remarked, after theE nched the wrong man.

very small quantity of it, Tne only things in
the auctioneer's catalogue that did not bring
good prices were his horses and carriages. A
am for which he paid $500 year ago sold for
S39l. and an imported landau worth 81 800 or
Sl.400 went for $500. All the etceteTes of tie

It was the one on which that letter was written.
Among the articles disposed of were seven tin

Petitions are being circulated in Dakota.

Petitions are being circulated in Dakota,
asking Mr.. Cleveland to use his influence in
having congress admit North and South
Dakota as states at the next session. II a
democratic House should agree to this, the
wind would be taken out of the republican
sails, so to speak, but 1t is not probable that
such bill will be passed until republican
House is secured. The democrats have been
willing to admit Dakota as one state, but
they have recognized as game Of party
politics the plan to create two states from
the territory, and though they will soon
have the opportunity to make political cap
ital at the sacrifice Of principle, they will
hardly avail themselves Of it.

rha Power Of Pensions.

In an interview day or two ago, Sena-
tor Pugh, of Alabama, said that IN his
opinion the reason for the defeat of Mr..
Cleveland was the desire for pensions.
Senator Pugh is not the only one who has
expressed the opinion thst the Presidents
pension vetoes, and the belief that the re-
publicans would be more liberal in granting
pensions. contributed largely to the success
of the Republican party.
While il is true that liberal pension laws
have been enacted since Mr.. Cleveland has
been President. his many yetoes of fraudu-
lent private pension bills created the i'm
preston that be ard the Democratic party
were opposed to further increase of the
pension burden.
Very nearly SlOO, ,0OO,0 is paid out an
1ually in pensions. and almost all of it is
distributed in the north. Those who profit
bv this immense sum would like to see it
incroas ed to $500, 100000 The ex union
soldiers are not the only ones whose votes
are influenced by pensions. The shopkeepers
and tTadesmen, into whose possession pen
sion IN. ney passes, are persistent advocates
of larger appropriations for pensions, and no
doubt many If them in the late election
voted for Gen. Harrison because they
thought he would favor the immense
schemes now pending in congress for taking
millions of dollars out Of the treasury for
pensions.
The pension burden is an enormous one,
and is steadily growing Thus far both
political parties have favored nearly every
pension bill that has been introduced into
congress because each was afraid Of losing
whatever part of the soldier vote it con-
trolled. VIII each continue to be influenced
by the same fearl If so. what amount will
be required annually for pensions ten years
hence:
The south helps to pay the pensions, but
she gets no benefit from pension apprOpria-
tions. Indeed, she has great difficulty in
getting small appropriations for her rivers
and harbors In view of the fact that so
large part of the public revenues is dis
tributed in the north, there ought to be more
lberality in the appropriations for rivers
and harbors in the south.

The Death Rate from Pneumonia

DR.. Gouyerneur r. Smith, of New York,
removes the barrier of professional pride
and etiquette. and declares that the death
rate from pneumonia is increasing, and has
been for years. He cites the official record of
vital statistics in New York, fre a which it
appears that in 1873 there were in that city
2.2SS deaths from pneumonia, while in 1887
there were 3,707, an increase which is out of
proportion to the increase in population.
He also gives the official records of
the New York and Philadelphia
hospitals. The figures of the first named
60 back to 1910, and from them it appears
that the lowest rate of mortality in pneu-
moDia was between the years 1870 and 1880,
and the highest was for the last decade,
being considerably double the earlier per
centage The record of the Philadelphia
hospital shows that for 1915, 1916 and ls47
the death rate was % per cent. for 1868.
1850 and 1861, lS'5 per cent, and for 1885,
1886 and 1887, 81 per cent To show that
the last named rate was not exceptional,
DR.. Smith quotes from the Medical Neics,
which declared some time ago that the rate
of mortality from pneumonia in the large
SSiOi al nOoIiCdiS VI Inc COuutTy WIS rarely
below, ard often above, 25 per cent,
which" said that journal, represents
about the average death rata from this dis
ease in the northern and southern armies
during the civil war
DR.. Smith attributes the alarming in
crease to the use of modern remedies,
which, he says, are far from being Of the
best, and, in fact, are not to be relied upon
As he gives official statistics, his state
ment with regard to the increase will hardly
be disputed. Il may be contended, how
ever, that the increase is due 10 causes other
than the modern treatment. Possibly
climatic changes have caused the
disease to assume a more malignant
type. CT the fast ags in which
we live has impaired the constitution of
great many people who have become an
easy prey to disease 1t does not seem
reasonable that science has gone backward
in this respect, or that physicians would
abandon old and reliable remedies for new
and unreliable ones. The fact stands out
prominently. however that the death rate
has increased alarmingly The subject de
mands the serious attention of physicians

North Carolina thinks she has cause to
rejoice over the result Of the different fairs
held lately in that state. The Wilmington
Messenger says: The great number of
county and local fairs held in this state this
fall indicates very clearly that there is new
life, energy, progress and prosperity in the
agricultural people Of North Carolina. We
believe that the state is crowding rapidly to
the front Of prosperous states. and it is not
impossible that she may win the name of

every state in the south will be an empire
state, and then the people of other sections
will open their eyes wider than ever.

accept the credentials of any southern con
gresham who is known to have been
elected by fraud. If it should be shown
that any member was elected by fraud,
the contestant ought to be seated, and
this rule should apply TO members from all
sections. In that case, the republicans
might lose good many Of their members.
But what Mr.. Houk really meant was that

He is always in stumbling. ili-ditting blacl;
clothes, the material always smooth and
shining broad cloth. His garments are
invariably creased aud wriukled, as if their
owner slept in them. The coat is always a
frOck, with enough cloth in it to make up
several suits, sometimes buttoled, but
generally it is not. The wais:coat always
low aud the trousers baGgy, cut with a
square fall, as if they had been chopped

untrimmed hair, shading an unshaven.
tobacco-stained face, generally completes
his dress. Sometimes the southern man,
OIL a visit TO New York, adds to the
further incongruity of his appearance
by donning a high, shining sill b At, which
throws out in greater relief his uukempt and
negligent appearance. Bat am forgetting
his shoes. Why does he wear those that ap-
pear to have a wooden block in their front
extending beyond the toes, and there ending
abruptly, as if they had been cut off square!
Where are these snoes made. Ihave vainly
searched through the New York shops for
them, as it is my intention when find such
pair, unconnected with the feet of a south
ern statesman, to purchase them at any
price, and then to forward them to the
British museum for exhibition in that gal

the southern statesman does not dress in a.
way to distinguish him from the statesmen
of other sections. and the above description
applies to very few. 1t applies to more
western than southern statesmen. A glance
at congress when il session shows that the

A Fatal Boiler Explosion.

Last Sunday morning about half
past 8 O'Clock a horrible accident oc-
Cured on the Baltimore 4 Ohio Rail
road few hundred yards west of
Rawlings Station by the explosion of
the boiler of engine No. 367, killing
the engineer, j. j. Woodruff, and the
fireman, Harry ID. kitzmiller. The
body of Woodruff was blown to atoms.
His head was found three hundred
wards from where the explosion oc-
Cured, and was not mutilated but
horribly scalded. The boiler was
thrown about twenty yards, and the
track torn up for some distance. a
number of cars of the freight train
which the engine was drawing were
wrecked After the explosion, which
was heard for miles, many persons
visited the wreck In collecting the
remains of Woodruff stake was
driven in the ground wherever piece
of the body was found, and an under
taker of Cumberland collected and
placed them in box and took them
to the city, together with the body of
the fireman An eyewitness counted
siXty-five stakes marking fragments
of the body of the engineer. Wood
ruff was about forty-tive years of age,
and resided in Martinsburg, where his
remains were taken. He leaves wife
and one child. Harry ID. kitzmiller
was in his twenty-third year, unmar-
ried. The locomotive, it is said, had
only been in use about five years, and
was of the large mogul pattern. A
brakeman on the freight train was
eight cars from the engine when the
explosion occurred and escaped with
out injury. The cause of the eXplo-
sion is unknown.

was about the only State in which it

lieved there would be any trouble
even there. The State convention on
Tuesday settled the question fatty.
The delegates chosen were instructed
to vote for President Cleveland's re-
nomination, and resolutions endors-
ing his administration were passed
amid the greatest enthusiasm. Every
mention of his name called forth
cheers, and Tammany Hall and

Grover Cleveland will be renomina-
ted by reclamation. And that he will
be elected by tremendous majority
