A famous college president, clergyman,
was addressing the students in the chapel
at the beginning Of tho college year. at
is" he said in conclusion, "a matter of
congratulation to all the friends of the
college that this year opens with the largest
freshman class in its history" And then,
without any pause, he turned to the
Scripture lesson for the day, the Third
Psaln, and began reading IN voice of
thunder: Lord, how are they increased
that trouble me-" This, however, was
hardly more unfortunate than the choice of
the hymn, Return, Ye Ransomed Sinners
Home" as the closing selection of a certain
American board meeting.

The Pension Extravagance.

There is every indication that the
party in power IL determined to pass
bltIs that will 30 greatly increase the ex-
penditurcs ~ to keep the surplus away
down out of sight for some years to
come. The only question is as to how
The money shall be spent, and even that
n not very difficult problem. Pen
slons will of course claim the most Of 1t.
Rivers and harbors, public buildings,
defcnces aud the navy might absorb n
good deal of money and give the nation
something Of value, but, pressing though
our need of these things may be, the
ruling party is more in need Of the pres
tigs that 1t Is believed will be gained by
> liberal pension policy.
II this money raised by taxation must
be spent 20 lavishly,it would be better to
spend II in almost any other way and
even great system of subsidies would
not be more perllous or Ill advised than
The distribution by pensions, because
such increase must be by q widening Of
the scope of the pension laws and as they
stand they are increasing in annual cost
ct IN alarming rate. In 1878 pensions
cost tweuty-six millions,in 1883 seventy
eight millions. The expenditure for
pensions was trebled in ten years It Is
constantly growing source Of expense,
Tor new names must be daily added to the
lists. BY widening the scope of the pen
sion laws the expense Of the government
will be increased for many years In the
future for the New York World calls
attention to the fact that we are now
paying pensions to more than ten thou
sand survivors of the war of 1912. There
b a healthy and steadily growing senti-
ment among thoughtful men of all par
ties that it Is high time to call halt in
pension extravaganza, and the Republi-
can leaders are apt to find out to their
cost that there must be limit TO this
rsckless administration. The govern
ment has dealt literally with the soldier
and proved full appreciation of their
services, but their perils and hardships
were not endured with the hope of re.
ward by pensions, but from spirit OF
patriotism. BY extravagant, broad.
cast distribution Of pensions we are
oheapening patriotism and placing a
degrading value upon the gallantry Of
the battlefield.
The fact that pension bills will lead
to great expense, steadily and rapidly
increasing In the future, may be strong
Recommendation for those Statesmen "
who are eager to put Off as far rs posi-
BILE the evil day Of tariff reduction 1,
will tax all the ability Of more far-seeine
statesmen to avert the perils of this
policy.

Admiral Porter's Brilliant Son Arrested
For Obtaining Money Fraudulently.
special dispatch from Washington
says: "Major David Essex Porter "A son
OF Admiral Porter, was a prisoner in the
police court Friday afternoon charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
His beJewelled fingers stroked the fur col
lar and lapels of his oyercoat in nervous
manner He was in Jail all night aud was
driven to court in a patrol wagon with n
crowd of blacks and whites charged with
vagrancy, drunkenness, and similar
ot1enses Throughout the day many menu
bers OF the Loyal Legion, whose button he
wears. visited him in court and offered to
go bail for him. He declined. A colored
man named +. w. johnson accused Porter
of having obtained from him 81 900 in
money and goods To secure for h i'm good
government position. This Po rter failed
to do.
"The prisoner, gentlomanly- looking
man, apparently about thirty-five years of
aye, acknowledged that he had obtained
money from johnson and from Daniel
Keys and William Newton, who had sw worn
out unserved warrants against him. lie
said this money was paid to him legiti-
mately To recompenso him for expense he
had been obliged to incur IN eudeavoring
obtain government positions for these men,
he having gained reputation among col
ored people for being able to get them gov
ernment Jobs.
Maj or Porter has had a brilliant mill
tary record. While in his teens he carried
the first dispatch through the rebel lines
from Gen, Grant to Gen. Meade In 1857 he
Went to Egypt aud entered the army of tho
khedive, going through many bloody Gu
gagements in the land of the Pharaohs. In
February of last year he was offered posi-
tion as an officer In the Haytien army,
which he declined, owing TO disagree
ment with Minister Preston about financial
matters. He is in appearance and manner
typical soldier of fortune He was held
for trial.

THE story OF Johnstown, published by
James NJ. Place, of Harrisburg, and writ
ten by J. J. McLaurin, of the Harrisburg
Telegram, Is an deliberately illustrated and
well printed volume just received and dc.
manding prompt notice. It is the history
that has beon endorsed by the relief com
mittee and the governor, and tho net pro-
coeds of the sale are 10 be applied To tho
relief Of the sufferers. The illustrations
efIeotually cover tho subject, aud several
so graphically and truthfully present It's
terrors AS TO renew the feeling of horror
produced by the story of the calamity. A
valuable feature of the book is the collec-
ton of portraits Of noted victims, among
them Rev. and Mrs. A. II. Diller, of Lam
caster, Mrs. ogle, the telegraph operator,
who, with her daughter, heroically re-
mained at her post to give warning to tho
towns below and perished in the food.
As the book is written from personal OBJ
servatiop and warmly endorsed by high
authority IL is no doubt thoroughly re-
liable as to the facts. John Barr, of this
city, a conductor Of the Pullman train
wrecked by the fleod, is canvassing for
subscribers to the book In this vicinity.
The publisher OF the Harrisburg Teie-
gram deserves some credit for forestalling
by this charitable enterprise tho efforts of
INSCRIPTIONS dealers in sensational liter
ature.

A TEXAS dispatch says that private let
ters from the City Of Mexico describe an
alarming state of affairs there due TO the
extreme fatality of the grip. It is hinted
that Mexicans have been suppressing this
news for fear of its effect on business, but
that IL now comes from American resi-
dents. Acute pneu monia Is the rule rather
than the exception among the poorer
classes who live In houses that afford little
protection. The death rate has been so
high that the coffin supply is exhausted,
and bodies are buried without them. This
story has sensational tone, but may be
true, as Mexico Is almost the only city that
has not reported the grip.

HomorkaDje imprisonment OF OrBans.
A most remarkable case Of displacement
Of the vital organs Of the body was revealed
In the autopsy held In New York Oh Friday
on Albert L. johnson, the old inventor,
who dropped dead In the Equitable build
ing. Deputy Coroner Jenkins made the au-
topsy, and found that the heart, which was
abnornally fat, had moved over to the
right side Of the chest: the stomach, spleen,
pancreas and greater portion Of the large
and small intcstines had passed up Into tho
left pleural cavity and considerably COM
pressed the left lung.
The heart, besides being displaced. was
compressed, and the diaphragm had fallen
into the abdomen. Some twenty years
ago johnson contracted hernia by a tree
falling on him, and IL is believed that the
general displacement OF those organs oc-
CURED At that time aud existed ever since.
DIR. Jenkins said that the immediate
cause Of death was heart failure, though
the displacement of the organs was tending
to accelerate death.
