annual pension list of s21e 600 600. Some Of these
pensions would still be running 100 years hence, AZ
some Revolutionary pensions and many war of
1912 pensions stll running. If we estimate
that the average duration OF pensions would be rs
years should have total outgo OF 74O oOO0 600
--or something more than the National debt at its
hghest-to meet the annual claims.
The arrearages are another matter. The pay
ment of 5000 to each of 100000 men-that is. Sl44
for ench of the Is years since the war-woud re-
qure the almost uncomfortable sum Of 81 600
This would more than double the National debt
again. and added 70 the s2740,ooO,ooo estimated
above for che annual pensions would give grand
magnificent total of nearly six thousand million
dolars-six times the indemnity that Germany
enacted from France. more than double the Ma
tional debt st its highest.
This Is the outlay that the scheme Of the Admin
istration's fayorite claim agent calls for-on the
basis of Tanners figures, which arc probably much
too low. There were about 100000 men enlisted
on the Union side during the war, and there arc
probably nearer 600 than 100000 Of them
still alive. If they arc not. substitutes for them
would be found should such n grab as Agent
Lemon desires be legazed. Such scheme would
start up claimants by myriads. Armed mon would
spring out OF the ground as when Cadmus sowed
the dragons teeth. The curious may estimate for
themselves what the cost would be should 100000
instead Of 100000 claimants come forward 10 grasp
the largcss that Lemon promises them.
It is too hot weather to 60 into an analy-
sis of their preposterous farrago farther than
to say that it has not correct figure, state
ment, or conclusion in Ii.
Any fairly-well informed schoolboy car
expose its ridiculous inaccuracies. We
merely give it to show old soldiers a fail
specimen of the absurdities committed by
writers and speakers who are intoxicated
with hatred of the victors in the war for Oh,

A SPECIMEN LIE.

The amount of wilful, gratuitous, bold
faced lying that is being done in regard TO
pension matters is simply beyond belief
We do not undertake TO notice, much less
contradict, any considerable portion Of it,
especially that which appears in sheets OF
notorious enmity TO soldiers, or those which
are essentially sensationalists and slander-
moBgerE
But the Buffalo Courier claims to be rep
utable paper, and preiends to regard facts
in what it admits to its columns. Yet in
IFS issue for July II it has an editorial be-
ginning thus:
FEW MODEST PENSION FIGURES.
Mr.. George Lemon, the pension agent mt Wash
ington. contributed literally 10 the Republican
election fund. lie Chairman Of one Of the com
ntiees having in charge the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Harrison. He has been the recipient of nu-
meTous official farors from Commissioner Tanner.
His Washington newspaper presumably represents
the purposes Of the pension men in tie present
Administration. Since the Inauguration Of PresI-
dent HaBison Il has kept the following standing at
the head Of its editorial columns:
I'VE must have sl2 month sl4l a year for each
man, till we die. We must have arrears clear back
TO tie war, which vii buy us all homes"
As 10 whether Capt. Lemon did or did
not contribute literally to the Republican
election fund is Of no consequence He is
an American citizen, and had perfect right
10 contribute or not as he felt proper. 1t ia
grossly and utterly untrue that he has re-
ccived numerous, or in fact any, "official

other official. lie has not asked for any.

Now Brltish gold Ia getting into fine
shape TO control American politics The pur-
chase OF the breweries by English capitalists
will put the reIns OF political power in their
hands The saloons in this country--as In
EngIand-are under the control of the lords
of the breweries. Here, as there, nearly every
saloon is heavily mortgaged to tho brewers,
and is compelled TO do as they dictate or
go out of business. II Is this control of
the saloons licensed victuallers they are
officially termed in England-and their use
as political machines that gets 80 many of
the brewers knighted. The party in power
rewards service in the campaign by making
the manipulation of the beer-sellers n baronet.
In this country there are about 200 900 places
where intoxicating liquors are sold, and
these are under the direct control of the
men who control the breweries At the
last Presidential election there were II 1885,

If we assume that each saloon can control

is small average for a saloon-the pro

disposal over 100000 votes--nearly hal
the entire strength of either of the grea
parties-and they can dictate who shall b,

Athenmum and AIka-Hesperlan.


There was a very large audience at
the halls ofthe abovenamed societies
last night, and an enjoyable even
ing was passed in listening to well
prepared program. Meeting was
called to order by Ralph Moody OF
the Allal-Hesperian society. The
first on the program was an eXcell-
ent and pleasing instrumental duet
by Misses Edes and Hughes, after
which n. Davis delivered the adj
dress ofwelcome in few well chosen
remarks. "Problem Of life," well
prepared address by DIR. Cuslck,
brought out number of compliment
tary remarks. Following this was
an instrumental solo by Miss Pearl
Scott. She captivated the entire
audience andwas loudly applauded.
The president then called on Hon.
r. A, Miller. who spoke in very
profound and brilliant manner on
the subject that DIR. Cusick had
discussed, closing by telling a few
,'tales out of school," M. G. Lane
discussed the "Pacific Coast in
very interesting remarks. Messers
Keller and Chase finished the even
ing's program with a duet on the
banjo and guitar; they were loudly
encored. A society paper edited by
Miss Nellie Edes, was then read and
it is needless to say that the fairedi-
tor, made some pretty "pOinted" re-
marks. ,.us... ,,

Naming the Streets.

To one who is unacquainted with
Salem's streets or to the stranger
there is much trouble in trying to
find any certain location. This is
because the street names are not
placed on the street corners. This is
something that should not be longer
overlooked, There are dozens of
boards already printed and ready to
be placed in position. They have
been ready a long time and are now
stacked away in the Capital engine
house. The council should make
some provision for the work of plac'
ing them on the proper corners,
Then strangers will know where
they are.

A VICE OF HlDEOUS MEN.
Lots Of Gambling Going on in Salem
Under Our Very Noses.

No more appropriate time than
Saturday evening could be chosen
upon which to call the attention OF
the law-abiding and liberty-loving
citizens of Salem to the fact that
this evening there are several gamb-
ling games in progress. Saturday
evening may be no worse than the
generality of evenings, but it is a
truth patent to all that there is
much gambling conducted openly
about the capital city. 1t is done SO
openly that players are wont to
boast of their winnings or deplore
their losses. The manipulators OF
pasteboard are no respecters of Sun
day, as during the day Of rest and
under the very shadows of our am
pie churches, the game proceeds.
There may be no gambling on Sun
day but card playing on this day is
strictly prohibited by the law, E
1t might not be untimely to de-
vote a few words to the law regulat-
ing gambling, as found in the con-
stitutiOn of the state, Of Oregon. 1t
is among the possibilities that the
officers ere iynorant of the facts,
but it is hardly probable. lg
The law says that each and every
person who shall deal, play or carry
on, open or cause to be opened, or
who s!iAI conduct, either as owner,
proprietor or employe, whether for
hire or not, any game of faro, monte,
roulette, poker, draw-pOker, bluff,
brag, threw or any banking or other
game Mayed with cards, dice or any
other device, whether the same be
played ior money, checks, credits or
any other representative of value,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof, be-
fore any justice of the peace, upon
complaint, shall be punished by a
fine of not less than twenty dollars,
etc. The law further provides that
it shall be the special duty of each
district attorney, sheriff, constable,
city or town marshal and police Of
ficer to inrorm against and diligently
prosecute any OF all persons whom
they sh; II have reasonable cause to
believe guilty Of a violation of the
provisio Of thia chapter. And any
officer filling so 10 do shall himself
be doomed gully OF d misdemeanor,
etc.
This is "smali'i matter but one
which evidently needs regulation at
the hands of some one whose duty
it is, and why are these houses not
closed and the offenders punished? ?
