PRICE 5 CENTS.
A SHIP OF ICE.

Among the arrivals from the
Arctic ocean says the S. F. Chron-
icle, was the whaling bark Reindeer,
Captain Baker, from Fox island.
Captain Baker states that the whal-
ing bark Young Phoenix, which was
lost in the Arctic over year ago.
was seen again last May.
The Young Phoenix left San Fran
cisco in December, 1887. Captain
Willard was in charge OF her, and
he, in company with the Fleetwlng'
Mary and Susan and the Jane Gray,
was caught in the ice nine miles
north of Point Barrow on August 5,
1888. He and his crew stayed with
the vessel for three days, when, find
ing that they could do nothing. to
save the vessel, they abandoned her
and made their way out OF the ice to
Point Barrow. The Jane Gray was
afterward picked up by the Bear
and brought to San Francisco,
while the other vessels were reported
lost.
A man named Leavitt has charge
of the Pacific Steam Whaling Co. 8
station at Cape Smith, which is nine
miles to the southwark of Point
Barrow. He spent last winter in
the ice. One morning last May he
was astonished to see a ship stand
ing out about a mile from shore,
hemmed in by ice. He thought he
saw specter; but there was the
Young Phoenix, just as she had been
left when abandoned. Her deck was
above the ice; from her houses and
rigging depended icicles; two sails
tapped idly in the breeze, while the
rest were furled and frozen to the
yards. She looked like ship of ice.
Leavitt went out to the vessel and
found several articles, which he took
ashore. The Young Phoenix re-
NAMED in sight for several days and
then drifted away, and has not since
| been seen.

THE OMAHA BEE hits the Missouri river
scheme of the Kansas City Times squarely
between the eyes. "There was a time" says
THE BEE, ''when intelligent people could be
made to believe that the Missouri river
would become powerful competitor Of the
railroads in transporting products of this
section to the Atlantic seaboard. That time
has gone by. Everybody with thimbeful
of sense knows that the railroads would
carry the bulk of all our grain, cattle and
merchandise, even If the Missouri had a
channel fifty feet deep" The BEE then re-
views the decadence of river navigation on
the Mississippi and the Ohio and other
streams, and concludes with the assertion
that the whole thing is an s, 900, 900 job which
will be favored by iobbing contractors and
engineers who want a soft place on the gov
ernment pay roll, but for which no congress
man would be justified in voting. THE BEE
is right. The Kansas City Times IS only
making bluff at the railways with its
barge-line scheme, which is ab out as liable
to be put in operation as railroad to the
moon

LATER reports materially reduce the
number of lives lost in the Quebec dis
aster. The total is not likely to exceed
thirty persons. The extent OF the ca
lamity was paralleled in 1871, almost in
the same place, when thirty-two per-
sons were killed and large number of
homes were wrecked. The cliff which
rolled down upon its sleeping victims
possesses q melancholy interest for
Americans. 1t stood directly in front
of the citadel which the brave Mont
gomery attacked with his gallant band
of continentals on stormy December
night in 1775, and it was on these rug
ged sleeps he met his death. The storm
of shot and shell did not move a boulder
from this, then impregnable, barrier,
yet the stormy elements accomplished
what man could not, and carried de-
struction to innocent people. Apart
from the loss of life, the disaster brings
financial ruin to scores of people on the
threshold of Canadian winter. The
district was peopled by workingmen,
and the loss of their homes and house
hold effects will cause much suffering.

THE PENSION QUESTION.

One of the most important questions
which the next congress will be called
upon to consider is that of increasing
pensions. 1t is already apparent that
strong effort is to be made to secure u
service pension, and congress will be
appealed to for otherlegislation, which,
if granted, would extend the pension
roll and materially enlarge the annual
expenditure on this account.
In view of this, it will be of general
interest to refer to the latest statistics
of the pension office, which present the
business of that Office down to the
close of the last fiscal year, June 80.
AT that time the number of pensioners
on the roll was fraction over four
hundred and eighty-nine thousand, and
the net increase for the year was over
thirty-seven thousand. There has been
great activity in the pension office
since July /, so that the number of
pensioners now enrolled must be con-
siderably larger than at the close of
the last fiscal year. Probably not
much less than five hundred thou
sand people are drawing pensions
at this time. The expenditure
on account of pensions for the
last fiscal year was a little over
eighty-eight million dollars, or about
one-fourth the total expenditures Of the
government. This sum is larger than
Germany spends for its great army
equipment During the past ten years
there has been a steady and rapid
growth in the pension figures. In 1879
the expenditure on this account was
thirty-five million dollars, and the fol-
lowing year il grew to fifty-six million.
In 1887 there was paid out for pensions
eighty-two million dollars, and as al
ready noted eighty-eigh million for the
last fiscal year. 1t is estimated that
the demand from this source for
the present fiscal year will fall little if
any short OF one hundred million dol
lars.
The most Jealous friend OF the old
soldiers must grant that these are
enormous figures, and they suggest the
question whether the generosity of the
government has not been extended as
far in this direction as 1T should go, in
justice alike to the soldiers and to all
other citizens. The great majority of
the people unquestionably approve a
liberal pension policy. They want the
old soldier to be justly and gener-
ously dealt with, and no fair
demand made in their behalf will fail
| to receive the approval OF a majority of
the people. 1t is the duty Of the nation
to see that no faithful soldier or sailor,
who received an honorable discharge,
| shall suffer from want resulting from
wounds or from disease contracted in its
service. All such should receive pen
sions proportioned to their disabilities.
But the nations generosity must not
be carried beyond limit where it
would involve an injustice to the whole
people. and the serious question is
whether that limit has not been
1 reached.

BOTH London and New York are
away behind many small cities in this
country in the matter of rapid transit.
New York has its elevated roads and
London its underground system, but in
either case the proper facilities have
not been afforded the public of either
city, In New York the elevated roads
do not cover the field, and in the case
Of London the underground lines are
very unpopular on account of smoke
and OF extremely damp air in the tun-
nels. The roads have never paid but
during one period, and that was while
Buffalo Bill was running at the out
skirts of the city last season.
New York has organized a
company for an underground road, but
it is not likely, in view of London's ex-
perience, that it will ever be built. 1t is
more than probable that both cities
will before long adopt the electrical
system of transportation, which has be-
come so popular in the west. 1t can be
used where no elevated or underground
roads could be built, and the trains can
attain as high rate OF speed as those
propelled by steam.

A LOUD PROTEST.

The arrogant domination OF the rail
road bosses is at last arousing the peo-
pie of western Nebraska to active re-
sistauce. Up to this time the papers OF
that section have stoutly denied that
there was any cause OF complaint
about the tyraunical and dictatorial
methods by which that section has for
years remained disfranchised. Now
they are beginning TO talk and the wall
that comes up exhibits in its full light
the debasement and degradation TO
which our citizens have been subjected.
Under the head Of Outrageous DOM
ination, >" the McCook Gazette, published
at the headquarters of the B. g. M. di-
vision bosses, enters its loud protest as
follows:
Another straw has been laid upon the
camels back py the local managers Of the
B. & M, The caucus of Thursday was but q
repetition of what has been witnessed befora
by our long-sufferng people when the polit-
ical plans of Mr. Campbell in regard TO some
petty precincts school district official
needed to be satisfied This time it took the
form of opposition to our present efficient
sheriff, w. o. Russell, who had in some man
ner incurred Mr.. Canpbelrs enmity, and
consequently the round.nouse and gravel
train must be called into requisition TO con-
summate the defeat Of his delegates In the
caucus. One hundred and fifteen men were
voted in an unbroken line, beng obliged to
pass through an alley-way formed by Harmon
and Archibald on one side and Rogers and
Ban Sson on the other, and under the eye OF
these officials they deposited their ballots.
Blame not these toilers for the deed. They
had wives and babies at home and winter Is
not far off. While inwardly they rebelled
against the indignity, the thought OF dear
ones at home impelled them to submit. One
fine specimen of mental and physical man
hood was especially brought to our notice.
He had expressed himself as Russelps friend.
He was sent for at once and ordered to vote
"right," and as he approached the polls in
charge of an official he rendered the ballot
they had placed in his hand with downcast
eye and trembling voice, while the officials
nudged and wink d at each other in glee.
We have no objections to offer to the candi-
dates that were successful on that day. 1t
is their apparent good fortune. Our only
protest is the inhuman manner in which 1T
was done. God pity the poor, who are
obliged to listen to the crack of the slave
drivers whip. Some of the employees were
cute enough to switch ballots even under the
eyes of the watchers, and thus voted for the
man of their choice 1t would seem that if a
man works for the b. & M. for 81. .0S per day
in the round house. he should have the poor
privilege of voting for his friend if he chooses.
II George w. Holdrege would give his off,

as this could be forever banished. When

1 POLICY OF OBSTRUCTION.

Ii such representative democrats as
Congressman Bynum, of Indiana, and
Oates, OF Alabama, voice the general
sentiment among their party colleagues
in congress, the democratic policy is to
be one OF obstruction. The Indiana
congressman recently said: I'VE have
a lot to worry ths republicans about.
and will make 1T interesting for them, 4"
adding, Il do not think the republicans
will be able to do anything with
the tariff" The Alabama congress-
man stated in an interview a
few days ago that it is
the intention of the democrats to fight
back. He was somewhat more conser-
yatiye than the other, but left 40 doubt
