M exicau Coins.

Cry OF Mexico, December 19 An
important reform in regard to the cur
rrncy Of the country is about to be put
into effect. President Diaz has approved
the regulations for the redemption of the
worn coinage, and it's reissue in the
form of decimal coins, whose use will be-
come compulsory. This does away with
the fractional coinage of ~ cents, 6L
cents, 8 l-16 cents and other coinage
intricAciaa.

duced BY ingalls,, Blair and others, and
it might very we'll have included the
message of the President, it says:
If these people could have their way
we would soon have o government as
completely centralized as q monarchical
despotism. It is time for the people to
awake to the dangers of further serious
encroachments on the rights of the States
and of disregard of that good. sound
American principle of local self-govern-
ment.
Fortunately the pendulum has swung
back from its extreme tension towards
absolutism and bids fair to hang on an
even balance hereafter. Schemes COM
pounded in almost equal parts ol
paternalism and despotism have precious
little chance of being enacted into law.

The pension Campaign.

There ought to be only one opinion
among conservative people upon the sys-
tenn Of pension grabbing that is being so
elaborately planned and organized. 1t
is only few weeks ago that the pension
agents at Washington sent out circulars
announcing that very liberal legislation
ON pension matters was sure to be had
this year, and that proper effort on the
part of the soldiers and their friends
would assure the passage of bill to give
every enlisted man who served sixty
days eight dollars month.
And now persons with petitions asking
for this legislation are making a sys-
tematic canvass of this community-as
others are doing elsewhere-every store
and shop and Office, and many dwelling
houses, being visited by these workers,
who are paid for their services, appar-
emily, by some central authority.
1t is not strange that many individuals
should honestly believe in this proposed
legislation, and it is especially pardon.
able if ex-soldiers who may be hon.
est sufferers think the Government
ought to help them, though they suffered
no disability; but it is strange that
great party or large number of news
papers should vaguely urge on such
campaign, mainly moved thereto by
their efforts and promises to get the
"soldier" vote.
Especially would it seem that the mis-
cradle outcome of the Tanner policy
ought to have sobered the politicians
whom his madness we'll nigh destroyed.
They were neither intelligent nor honest
in their brutal assaults upon the last ad-
ministration and it was q just and
apparently inevitable disaster which be-
fell them and their miserable purposes.
Will they not now call halt? For their
own IL not the country's sake, will they
not try to stay the tide they started be-
fore it demoralizes the whole pension
policy Of the Government?
And the Republican newspapers that
80 systematically and so cunningly dis
paraged Pension Commissioner Black,
and praised Tanner 80 blindly and bla.
family, even charging all his critics with
being enemies of the Government, will
not these now fairly and reasonably
treat this question? II may be true
that some editors and some states.
men honestly believe in a policy
on the plan Of the one undertaken
and pushed by the pension agents and
q certain portion of the "soldier" ele-
ment, but the great majority of the
people do not believe in such "liberal-
ity," and know it ought to be checked in
a wholesome and radical way. The ad-
ministration itself knows the fatal tend
ency of this, both as to the cost and the
iniquity of it as matter of principle,
and Secretary Noble deserves we'll of the
country for his courage and consistency
| under trying circumstances. Is nothing
but further trifing with this business to
be expected of the political herd of the
party and the country?
That the pension laws are not perfect
and should be revised is plain, and has
been duly urged by thouehtful men OF
both parties; but it is time that the mat
ter be honestly and scuarely dealt with
in the interest of justice both to the
pensioners and the people, and not leave
it to be managed by the least worthy
element in the whole land.

BOSTON, August 24.-Prssident William

of unity of action among those whose in

basis which shall adapt itself TO the pres-
ent industrial situation.
The Wool Reporter, just Issued, COM
menting on the call, says the result Of the
meeting is awaited with interest and un-
certainty, and adds that the results of the
tariff revision of 1883, under the leader
ship of the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers, however well intended,
has been the cause of distress to the wool
industry of the United States. Since jan

Bear Disease and Death All Over the
Country.
FORT WAYNE, IND, August 23.-The
smallpox epidemic at Menominee, Wis,
which according to the Wisconsin health
officers, was brought there by a family
named Anderson, can be traced to this
city beyond doubt.
The man Anderson was employed here
on the natural gas mains. he had large
family, who were in very needy circum-
stances. About month ago the Allen
county pest house was robbed, and all the
clothing which was taken from the 27O pa
tients treated there, and which had been
packed swsy instead of being destroyed,
was stolen and sold to the men working for
the Natural Gas Company. They were
mostly Italians and Swedes, and large
number Of them Left shortly aiierward, car
rying the pest house clothes with them.
Among the number was the Anderson fam
lily. They secured passes to Chicago from
the Township Trustees, saying they want
ed to 90 to Menominee, where they had
relatives.
The theft of the clothes was kept quiet
until few days ago, when it leaked ont,
causing panic among the men employed
on the gas line. The Anderson family un-
doubtedly contracted the disease from the
clothes bought of the thieves, and as hun
dreds of others wear some of the same lot
of clothing, the disease is liable to break
out wherever the men have located.

The Pitiable Wall Sent Up BY New Eng
lands Protected" Millionaries
NORTH EAsToN, MASS, August 24.-
Comment has been made in several news
papers because Governor Ames sigued the
netitiou of the iron manufacturers of New
England for the abolition of the duties on
iron ore and coal. Speaking of this fact
to-day. he said that he did not deserve any
credit fox it, because it was simply what
he. as shovel manufacturer, and what
the other iron manufacturers have been
forced to do for self preservation.
More than this, as the Governor says,
and as is learned from another reliable
source, this whole movement is outside OF
politics. The Governor says that nearly
every Republican manufacturer IN this
line with whom he is acquainted has
signed the petition. They are moving for
free raw material, because, if they do not
secure this relief, they feel that their in-
dustries will be doomed for the sake Of the
prosperity of Pennsylvania, or, at best,
can bat prolong miserable existence, fed
by scrap iron only.
