A Liberal Pension Policy,

A Washington dispatch says that the
total pension appropriation for the fiscal
year, So, 500, ,OO0, has already been drawn
from the treasury and that there will be
deficiency before July /, when next
years appropriations will he available.
The reason for this amazing state of
things Is not far to seek. The liberal
policy" OF the present administration
Of the pension Office has started In with
. rush that seems to give assurance Of a
determination TO settle the surplus
question in a way most pleasing to the
. pension sharks by distributing Uncle
Sans millions broadcast among un.
worthy claimants. In a circular one of
the claim agents joyfully announces that
the assistant secretary Of the interior has
made decision after decision opening up
Tor favorable consideration hundreds of
claims heretofore excluded, and we pub
lish two decisions just rendered which
show how wide the treasury doors are
thrown open.
One William Powell was wounded in
barracks by demijohn two weeks after
the date Of his discharge papers, but he
was being boarded free by Uncle sam
and W gets q pension. Another man
was running, when a comrade tripped
him and his eollar-bone was broken, for
which the war-scarred veteran gains his
pension.

The Horse Knew His Man.

FToii tflt BOSTON POST.
Not long ago there was certain English
general i'll India who had the misfortune
To be extremely fat and heavy. His private
charger was big animal. well up TO his
weight, If any horse could be So but of
such disobliging character that he utterly
refused TO carry his master. Whenever
me general came out To mount him. the
horse would throw himself flat ON the
ground and refuse to get up. Finally, the
general sold him. Two Years afterward
the same officer went to the frontier ON a
tour Of inspection, and as he Travelled i'm a
palanquin he WAS obliged to borrow a
charger for review purposes. There was
some difficulty in finding one up to his
weight. AT length" SO the story runs.
Ian officer resigned TO him a powerful
morse for the occasion, which was brought
out, duly caparisoned, in front of the line.
Ihe general came forth from his tent and
proceeded 10 mount, but the instant the
morse saw him advance he flung himself
nat upon the sand, and neither blows nor
eilreaties could induce him to rise. IL WAS
the generals cid charger, who from the
moment OF quitting his service had never
once Practiced the artifice until his second
meeting. The general, who was AN ex-
eeedlngly good-humored man. ioined
heartily In the universal shout thai ran
through the whole line on witnessing this
iudierous affair." ''

Nat ere giving the churches great deal
trouble. Mrs. Humphrey Ward threw

- Darwin did with his origin Of species.
The Yale theological school dismisses
Prof. John Russell for saying that there
SWas 90 much room to doubt the truth
To miracles that no man ought TO be
excluded from the Christian churcl, be-
cause he entertained those doubts. The
bos theologians of the concern thought
doubt Of the miracles Of the Bible was
incompatible with Christianity but we
think that people generally will doubt
this. The miracles are taken on faith,
without permitting the understanding

nock takes the Bible literally, and II is
very convenient that they should for
when they stop to think, they can only
conclude that their understanding il too
hnite for the question. This Is the only
conclusion that any comfort can be found
In. Faith Is the road aud the doctrine

{ In these modern days reasonable de-
gree of doubt must be permitted by the
theologians and that Prof. Russell Is not
i unreasonable In demanding absolutlon

reported miracles. Like latitude isclaimcd
for the doctrine Of evolution belief In the
statement of the Scriptures that the earth
was made In certain days and that Adam
was distinct creation. The doctrine
OF evolution finds many converts and
gives great trouble to the churches. The
Southern Presbyterian general assem-
bly,, in session now ut Chattanooga, voted
by large majority that the doctrine Is
contrary to the faith even i'm the mild
form In which Il was preached by
DIR. Woodrow, of South Carolina,
whoee condemnation by the synod Of
that state was before 1t on appeal. DIR.
Woodrow had disavowed belief In the
scientific theory of evolution, but he had
yielded enough to the theory to doubt
the literal creation of Adam. IL Is a
solemn fact, therefore, that the Southern
4 Presbyterian church stands on Adam,
and that the flock there has no escape
from literal belief In the Garden of
Eden, Eve and the apple. The Northern
Presbyterians are now In session In
New York, aud they are going TO

minister confession but whether the re-

hangings are so numerous rs to warrant
this cold blooded effort to establish a.repu-

many murderers escape the legal penalty,
and men are occasionally hung who are
not guilty. Society would DO more
thoroughly protected, crime ny severely
punished by imprisonment for life; for
there would be less aversion on the part Of
juries to inflicting that penalty, and few of
the guilty would escape, while to the end
of the life of convicted man a chance
would be left TO correct errors to which
the most careful judgement Is liable. The

The third annual report of the state board
of health and vital statistics, transmitted in
December, 1887, comes to us rather far be-
hind the time, but better late than never,
because in the great mass of information
that has long ceased to be Of any interest
or value, tho book conceals some really in
teresting facts. For example, the necessity
of more careful quarantine against Asiatic
cholera has been forcibly impressed since
the report was made, but may be claiming
very serious attention before the summer
is over. The hygienic arrangements of the
summer camps of the militia are severely
criticised, and no doubt, have been i'm
proved In subsequent camps. A great deal
of fspace is given TO precautions against
diphtheria and against contagious and infcc-
tious diseases, and there is an excellent
address on hygiene.
