HonOrs For Gallant Deeds,

The British consul at Philadelphia has
just presented two gold watches, gifts
from the president of the United States
to . couple Of English sailors, who res.
cued the crew Of an American schooner
IN distress. The consul announced that
be had two gifts of $50 each for another
pair OF seamen who had assisted in the
rescue, but one had enlisted In the
United States navy, and the other could
not be found.
This giving of watches and cash as re-
wards for brave and humane conduct is
m eminently practical and American idea
and thoroughly appreciated by the hard
working and poor sailors who are usually
candidates for the honor. The medals
usually given abroad are highly valued
but the men receiving them would often
b much better pleased to have their
value In solid cash or in the useful as
well Is ornamental shape of watch.
We need, however, some great
premium OF the grade of the
Victoria cross to be given ouly in
cases OF exceptional and striking hero.
Inn on sea or shore, and in all the walks
OF life, q prize immeasurable by any
money value and one that would be GOV.
eted equally by poor and rich. because its
Possession would be proof of rare per.
sonal qualities of the man who won it.
Ths Victoria cross is bestowed only after
the most careful inquiry and in reward
for the most striking heroism. To have
won 1t Is one of the greatest honors an
Englishmsn can hope for, and many have
eagerly taken desperate chances in the
hope Of gaining it.
Watches and money are we'll enough as
rewards for humane and perilous deeds,
but should be supplemented In rare cases
Dy some priceless and widely known re.
ward.

The Pension yetoes.

The weakest argument that has lately
ooen the light IL that Of the Senate COM
mittee Of pensions. disputing the power
oe the president, "upon any fair con-
utruction of the constitution" to veto
special pension bills that Congress has
pessed. II the committee confined itself
% the propriety Of the presidents action
IN thus reversing the judgment of Con-
gress in individual pension grants, 1t
might make plausible argument in de.
fense Of its position but 1t is simply
foolish to deny the power Of
The president to veto these pen
sion bills as well rs any other
measures that he does not approve.
The constitution requires his approval to
be added to that Of Congress to perfect
legislation into law. His power is equal
TO that Of either House. The Senate
committee thinks that he assumes un.
warranted authority in overriding the
action Of Congress, after Congress has
overridden that Of the pension department
IN refusing to grant pension. Appeal hav'
ing been taken from the pension commits.

It ought to stop there, and not be again

The committee has certainly made II
clear that Cleveland is keeping closer

THE June report OF the department OF
agriculture on tho acreage OF wheat
aud cotton aud tho condition OF tho
crops IL not In harmony with the
forecasts given by Wall street agents
and reporters OF commercial papers. There
/ Is a decrease in area OF winter wheat OF
| about million and q quarter acres, but
there Ia reason 10 believe that this has
been moro than made up by In
creased area OF corn and oats. Spring
wheat II "hve points better than
last year" and there Ia nothing to for
bid the largest yields. The present
condition Of winter wheat does not indicate
yield much above l0lf bushels per acre
ON 23000,O00 acres, and spring wheat -
bushels on Is. 300000 acres. But slight
| changes OF weather may affect the whole
| question materially for the better.
Tho oats crop has increased In area nearly
one and quarter million acres, largely at
| the expense OF wheat but also largely In
| the new land OF the Northwest The first
report OF the season Is highly favorable
Barley Ia In better condition than last year.
Rye Is In much better condition than
wheat Cut worms are interfering with the
corn planting In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Tennessee and Kentucky, and planting has
been delayed in tho Northwest by excess OF
moisture, 30 that the corn crop will proba-
bly, be late. The cotton area has increased
| nearly everywhere, but there Is complaint OF
too much rain. Investigations as to the
varieties OF wheat generally used show that
the Pennsylvania Fultz wheat has the
widest distribution occupying an area
four times IA large as that OF any
other wheat and producing a fourth OF
| all the wheat harvested in the country.
Tho Mediterranean comes next In popular
