FIGHTING FOR sPoiLs.

Our Pecksnin President and tho Two Sem
ators from Illinois.
There will be two influential gen.
tlemen at the meeting of the next Con-
gress who arc likely to make Presi-
dent Harrison put in very uncomfort-
| able time. They represent the great
| State of Illinois in the United States
Senate, and they claim the right to de-
termine certain Government appoint
| ments in that State, according to the
| views once held by the President
when he was a Senator. Senator Far
well is particularly exercised in mind
| over the way he has been ignored as
to Illinois appointments The Presi-
Cullom about the Minister to England
or the collector at the capital of the
State. Hence, both Senators are in
an unpleasant frame of mind at what
they consider an implied insult Mr..
Farwel has already expressed his
sense OF the situation in very
emphatic terms: Il am tired
of shillyshallying, and, as 1 re-
marked to the President the
last time L saw MIN, nave no de-
sire or intention of getting down upon
my knees and begging for favors." 1t
looks very much, then, as if there was
a sultry time ahead for Baby McKee's
grandpa from the Illinois corner of
the Senate. Indeed, there is excellent
ground to believe that the admins
tration will be subjected to a fire of
hostile criticism from many leaders of
its own party for its failure to satisfy
the demands of the boys. Even Wanna
makers lord high executioner does
not expedite business to suit them, al
though he has already beaten the
record. We may look for the oblitera-
ton of the surplus in short time
after the ffty-first Congress convenes
by reckless appropriations and free
scope to the horde of jobbers that tho
return of the spoils party will bring
back to Washington. Harrison may
be obliged to throw open the doors of
the treasury, as well as of any choice
offices he has left, to satisfy all COM
ers particularly those two Illinois
Senators whom he has unfortunately
offended. 1t is not the pleasantest
thing in the world to hold the bag in a
grand party grab game.-Albany On.

1t is estimated by the Trea

1t Is estimated by the treasury De-
partment that at the present rate of
payments the bill for pensions for the
fiscal year will amount to over q hun-
d7'ed millions. If this rate of increase
would be maintained for the next ten
years the disbursement for pensions
at the end of that time would be about
$3.50, 900.
The receipts from customs taxes last
year amounted to about S219, 900, 900
and from internal revenue to about
1924, 900. O00-a total of $343, 900, 900.
If the disbursements for general pur-
poses-and these do not include those
for the reduction of the public debt
should not increase at all in the
next decade and the present
rate of increase in the disburse-
ments for pensions should be main
tanned, there would be call for S70,-
900. 900 more than the present revenue
nffor6s. 1t naturally follows that if
the expenditures for pensions increase
at such pace as that set by the new
down of the revenue. This seems a
strange statement in view of the state
ments that have been made concern
ing the injurious existence of the sur
plus.
Now, while there can be no honest
objection to granting deserving vet
Grams of the late war public support
and without questioning the propriety
of the present Pension Commissioner
policy it is evident that the people
must pay not only as heavy taxes as
they are now paying but heavier

OF counteracting the poison that Grace
had been swallowing during the past three
weeks, and had promised to come over him
self within short time and personally take
charge of the case.
OF course il was impossible for Lura
Joyce to be always with her patient, but
usually she contrived to leave the black
maid in the room when she was absent, il
only for few minutes.
Grace feltdecidedly better in twenty four
hours after beginning the new treatment
prescribed by DIR. Cotton. OF course Cap
tain Starbright realized that Lura had as
sumed to doctor Grace, but he did not
know of the discoveries she had made. He
had become impatient and uneasy, howev-
er, and was anxious to have the tragedy
come to speedy termination.
" A drop Of Mother Cabera's cough drops
will do it. will risk it, and put this un-
certainty at rest forever" reasoned the
scheming Captain.
One afternoon, while Lucy sat in the room
alone with Grace, Captain Starbright put
his head into the room, and said:
Lucy, your mistress is feeling bad and
wants you to come to her at once"
"Missus Lura!'
'Mrs. Penroy."

as the maid stood in deadly terror of him
when he was angry, she forgot her promise
to Lura Joyce and left the room.
Captain Starbright stood alone.
He hurriedly closed and locked the door,
then walked over and glanced at Grace,
who, he was glad to note, lay in a semi-un-
conscious doze.

Then he turned hurrlcdly to the little

Last night was one Of more than usual
disquietude upon the streets. Yesterday
was pay day with the Central railroad. and
there were quite a number of colored people
who could not stand prosperity, and in two
instances, under the influences of cheap
whisky, fired off revolvers in the streets.
A shot rang out on st. Julian, near
Bryan street, last night, but a policeman
nearby detected the violation of the ordi-
nance, and the party was arrested. Another
colored man fred off a revolver on the
Thunderbolt road near the city limits, and
was arrested and lodged in the barracks.
There were nineteen arrests up to o'clock
this morning. The barracks were full, and
the desk in front Of Sergt Kilourhy was
covered with pistols. The array of re-
volvers gave the room the appearance Of
an armory.

III Health Prevents His Attending the
Baltimore Celebration.


The celebration of the Catholic hier-
archy's centennial anniversary takes place
in Baltimore this week. 1t viii begin to-
day. Bishop Becker, who il was expected
would attend the anniversary, will be IN
able to dc so. He sent in his card Of regret
last Sunday. Although his health has
steadily improved since his return from

that 1t will be prudent for him to leave
home.
The Baltimore celebration will begin this
morning with a procession Of prelates.
A very large attendance of clerical as
well as lay delegates from all parts of the
United States, Canada and Mexico is ex-
pected at the three very interesting cele-
brations to occur. A good many, it is un-
derstood, have gone from Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon and Columbus.
One OF the most prominent clergyman
who will be in attendance, and around
whom much interest centers. is the Italian

representative Of the pope, who visits the
n1ted States for the first time to attend

bishop IL one Of the leading theologians and
philosophers of the Catholic church. has
written number of works, and Is the lead
ing thinker of the day in the Thomist
system OF philosophy. He is described as
man of imposing appearance, and is said to
bear striking resemblance to Pope Leo
XIII.
In attendance on the congress there will
be two cardinals, Gibbons of the United
states, and Taschereau of Canada, who
leaves his see at Montreal 10 represent the
Canadian provinces.
Or archbishops there are expected to be
present about ten from the United States
and five from Canada. or bishops there
will be two from Mexico, six from Canada,
and one from Portsmouth, England, and at
least fiftY-eight from the dloceses of the
American union and Of monsignors, some
fifteen in all.
