SCHOOLS for the education Of pauper
soldiers children in Pennsylvania run by
the Grand Army of the Republic have be
come outrageous scandals. Nobody OBJ
iects to all proper pensions, but the
whole pension system is rotten with
fraud and low peculation which will
finally render pension almost a mark OF
dishonor. OF course the howlers and the
dishonest pension grabbers will object to
any sort of attention to their nefarious
practices. The guilty are always anxious
to be let alone. These soldiers
orphan schools will either be abolished
or taken out of the control of the Grand
Army Syndicate. The Grand Army
should keep out of politics and frown
upon had pension legislation procured
chiefly by pension agents for the AGENT
benefit The Grand Army is a very noble
organization within It's proposed sphere,
but in Philadelphia IL is being used by
politicians to procure oiiicies.

ONE Of the early applications which
President Harrison has to consider is
that Of J. Brainard Clarke Of Chicago.
}. Brainard wishes 70 60 as consul TO Bra.
I'll. The application of j. Brainard was
endorsed by Governor Fifer, all the
state officers, the mayor Of Chicago and
many prominent merchants An at.
tempt TO ind Mr.. Clarke was not imme-
diately successful. Many of the endor-

Of him. The city directory did not give

NOT know the man" Finally one of the
endorsers was found who said. the now

WE HAVE been sitting up late of nights
to study the report of the Committee on
Law and Finance in regard to distributing
the funds Of the city among the several
banks. We have read the report very
carefully backwards and forwards, but
we have not been able to dnd either law
or finance or rhyme or reason in It, One
felicitous observation in the report Is
particularly illegal aud unfnanoial,
though It seems to have the quality Of
getting there all the same. It is: 1--WE
believe it to be dangerous to place money
in any institution and have no power to
control such money when we believeit to
be unsafe. Certainly nobody would
have the hardihood TO deny that IL would
be dangerous to put money where It
would be unsafe. Nor would
any fnancier deny that it would
be unsafe to put money where
it would be dangerous. Neither
Of these propositions refer particularly
TO bank They refer to an institution.
That might mean keno game or the
Wilmington Base Ball Club. One would
be decidedly unsafe and the other would
be imminently dangerous. Another rea
son for not dividing the deposit is that
this present Council was not in any way
responsible for first selecting the
depository and do not wish to b,
responsible for any change" This is {
piece Of comprehensive and uniqu,
eloquence not usually found on the rec
ords of Legislative bodies. Still no on,
viii have the temerity to deny that i
gets there all the same There are othe
little gems in the report, but we have no
been able to discover in any Of them
good and sufficient reason why one banl
should forever be the sole and onl,
depository for the city money when, as
is plainly declared. nobody has an.
interest in It one way or the other.

famous life at Madrid, by firing a pistol

British law courts and politics, there is
no other such instance of moral degrade

iurers, like Titus Oates, were originally
men of a base order, while Pigott was
once highly respected citizen of Dublin,
a trusted leader among the Irish patriots,
and writer of conceded ability. From
that position he had sunk so low that he
escaped dying in prison only by suicide.
