GREEN B. RAUM, OF Illinois, has been
appointed pension commissioner, to
succeed Corporal Tanner. When he
ran for congress in 1867, he was called
Green Bay Rum, and the southern
1llinoisans had so little regard for him
that he moved to Washington, where
he has resided for many years, practic-
ing in the court of claims. Raum lie q
smoother, cleverer man than Tanner.
An old politician, schooled in Wash
ington ways, he will be discreet in his
work of pinning the old soldiers to the
republican party by means of pension
badges.

AT the close of the fiscal year there

AT the close of the fiscal year there
were on the pension list 4S9, 729 names.
This is 1900 more than the standing
army of Germany. 1t is nearly u
quarter of u century since the close of
the war, and yet there were added to
the list of pensioners during last year
$3.50 names, against only 10000
dropped-a net gain of 81 600. There
are still pending 10000 original claims,
beside the requests for rerating. The
amount paid for pensions during the
year was $SS, 275, l13, and the heavy
disbursements in July and August in.
dicaied an expenditure for the present
year of fully 500, DOC, 900. This ex-
ceeds by nearly one half the entire cost
of the government before the war. 1t
overtops the cost of the standing army
of Great Britain and nearly equals that
of France. The payments on pension
account since 1861 are ST. ,052, 2l8 ,41S-
almost as much as the present amount
of the public debt. The increase of
pensions has Outrun, in recent years,
the diminution of the interest charge.

THERE is considerable talk among

world a. the national capitol have long
been the subject of much gossio, offered
in a manner that Mrs. Harrison thought
too superior and too condescending to
coach the lady of the white house as
how things should be run. She even
disposed to run those things
herself. This Mrs. Harrison resented,
asserting her independence.

A Poisonous Practice.

II housekeepers everywhere woulo
start and maintain a crusade against
the sale Of undrawn poultry in the
markets or by farmers it would work
a most wholesome hygienic reform. Il
is a vicious practice, an abuse, in fact
that people have endured as they
have many other abuses, because
there is no remedy except in concerted
action or legislation. Ii is impossible
10 keep undrawn poultry even few
hours, without the beginning OF putre-
faction from the effects Of the gases
from The undigested food in the ''crop"
and intestines. Tho longer il is kept
the more of the poison goes into the
aesh, and in the majority of cases the
poultry that reaches the kitchen from
the market Is actually unfit for food.
Housekeepers could we'll afford TO pay
a larger price 10 have the poultry
dressed Immediately upon being killed
they pay for much weight that is
thrown away, as it is, besides having
left a mass of poisoned flesh. II q
urged that some people prefer tho
flavor Of undressed poultry, but that
fact only makes the matter the moro
alarming, since II indicates that we
