Hating on Pensions.

The disposition Of the Republican leader.
In Congresst 20 call = halt on pensions is
evidence that they have heard from the peo-
pie.
These buyers Of votes with funds from the
Treasury have discovered that taxpayers
are more numerous than tax-eaters.
With reckless disregard Of the burden
bearing people they forced the pension list
up TO $3.50, 100000 year and mOrtgaged the
revenues Of the Government for another
generation.
Hayin. converted a surplus into def
cheney and pauperized the pension list, they
yield 10 fear what they would not grant to
patriotism and prudence.
Democratic speeches in the House, Dem
ocratic and independent journals through
out the country, and old soldiers whose
patriotism Is above bride, have exposed
the extravaganza and protested against the
criminal recklessness of the pension legis-
lation.

That would be enough for any one but a

1t Is efleryescent, very palatable and ex-
tremely healtnful. Nor is this all; the force
Of the water brings up from the depths an
occasional lump Of native silver or gold
nugget.

wire netting over the mouth Of the well to

Schemes of Mice and Men.

A poet who understood human nature,
and knew the ways Of the world, wrote
something about the misfortunes which be-
fall the best laid schemes OF mice and men.
The Republicans who have been arranging
the Apportionment bill might take Burns
lines TO heart. For while all went well,
and the Democratic States were TO lose Con-
gressmen. and the Republicans were to
gain them, But their little house OF blocks
lions, aud now 1t is difficult TO say that any
State will not be Democratic. The Repub-
licans are going to shuttle the cards, but
they can't say whether the deal will be in
their favor. Oh, the trials of the dishonest
politician.

The Herald's Candidate.
New York Herald,l

What with horses, dogs, greenhouses, his
Immense library, his out-of-door sport, Mr..
Daua finds Life very comfortable, and might
possibly hesitate TO assume the cares of
office. But the man who doesn't hunt for
position is the man TO ill it with honor. We
can find hacks by the hundred who would
give their eyes 10 20 TO the Senate. We
don't want them. They are useless at home;
they would be useless in Washington. Let
them stay where they will do the least
harm. But Mr.. Dana is useful at home, Is
always busy, keeps his firm hand on a great
business concern, helps to shape public
opinion, makes manyIenemies because he
has convictions, but makes more friendsior
the same reason.

The National Farmers Alliance, at their
recent session In 0cala, did what they could
toward cutting the lottery gordian knot
they adopted resolutions strongly condemn
ing all lotteries and calling for an amenfs
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States forbiddlng any State from granting a
lottery charter or franchise Of any kind to
carry on lottery schemes. Such proyi-
sion already exists in the Constitution Of the
state Of Virginia, and doubtless three
fourths Of the States would promptly ratify
any such constitutional amendment.

Curative Novelties.

1t is made evident by the dispositions in
our medical journals that the new Berlin
lymph has stirred up hundreds of Ameri-
can doctors to seek for other curative nov
elites. 1t has given an extraordinary I'M
pulse to organic research and to new chem
zeal experiments in fresh fields, and 1t has
given birth to some theories that almost
touch the borders Of alchemy. OF course
we have New York doctors who are lore
most in the business of investigation ana
speculation, and some Of them may yet
make discoveries that will give them re-
nown like unto that of Professor Koch. 1t is
strange that we have not recently received
from Chicago or from Boston any curative
novelties, either chemical or alchemlstlcal.

Parnel.Ps Obstinacy.
New York Tribune /

Mr.. Parnell has been received with con-
siderable enthusiasm in Ireland, and sig
nalized his arrival by fOrcibly taking pos
session of United Ireland, the official organ
of the Irish National League. Apparently
he has gone too far 10 retrace his steps now,
and the division Of the Irish party, which
his obstinate course has produced, will in
eyitaby be made wider and deeper as time
goes on. The sentiment of the lrish-Amerl-
cans is strongly against Parnell. but to all
appeals from this side Of the water he re-
mains deaf. The local Municipal Council
of the League yesterday sent a dispatch i'm
ploring him to retire. That will have any
effect upon the author of the unfortunate
Irish situation Is too much to hope.

BY the death Of Washington Mclean, the
former proprietor of the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, American journalism has lost one Of
the fathers OF the profession. Mr.. hcLsan,s
great success was due TO uncommon talents
and energy exerted throughout career no
table for perseverance in hard work and
fidelity TO every duty undertaken by him.
His private life was IN all respects amiable
and admirable, bringing TO him troops oil
friends, whom he was never tired OF bene-
filing. In politics he was answering IN
fidelity TO Democratic principles, and he
was one Of the most sagacious and most
trusted counselOrs Of his party. Mr.. NC
Leans journalistic enterprise long since
passed TO the control of his son, Mr.. John X.
Mclean, who has wonderfully increased on
the foundations his father laid the institu-
ton, which will be an enduring monument
TO its founder.

why Money h Scarce.
lBOsfOn Post

"Why is it," people are asking every day,
chat there is such a dearth of money! IL

ed?" Not at all. There is just as much
money in circulation, probably more than
ever. But the trouble is just here. In or
binary times financial transactions are
based much more on confidence than on
cash-say 70 per cent. confidence and -
per cent. cash. Just now the supply Of
confidence is low, and the proportion is re-
yersed. And so, although there is as much
cash as ever, and although tits doing far more
service than in ordinary times, it fails to 60
