Cleveland Plain Dea.er.
No doubt those OstentatiOuS displays
of pretended fairness in allowing GER
tain Democratic members of congress
to hold their contested seats are re-
GREETED now. The evietiOns gave the
Republicans majority of eighteen in
the house of representatives. That was
supposed to be ample for all eontin-
gencies. But now come sixteen Re-
publican representatives and upset Ill
calculations by serving notice on their
D official conferes that they will fight
the sugar and wool schedules in the
Me Kinley bill. The congressional
DO uneer has been subjected to heavy
str ain. but perhaps may be in service
vet. The detection of the sixteen Re-
publicans will make it necessary to
throw out at least half dozen more
Democrats in order to maintain high
tariff control.

were 1893 1853 $50. 80, and the total expenditures
for the same period were 1888 GAS 5S4.52. The
postal receipts have not heretofore been in
cluded in the statement of these aggregates,
and for the purpose of comparison the sum
of SIS ,s42 ,O97.9 should be divided from both

sinking fund, was SlG5 344, 1868 The re-

of expenditures, that for pensions was sl9.-
3l2,O75.96 in excess of the preceding year.
The Treasury statement for the current fiscal
year, partly actual and partly estimated, is
as follows: Receipts from all sources, s4G6,-

year.
For the year of 1892 the estimated receipts
are SS.3 100000 and the estimated expendt-
ures $751; .s52 .2oa.42, leaving an estimated sur

THE PENSION BUREAU.
The disability pension act, which was an.

nation and adjudication of claims
have, by reason of improved meth
obs, been more rapid than ever
before. There is no economy to the Govern
ment m delay, while there is much hardship
ard injustice to the soldier. The anticipated
expenditure, while very large, will not, it is
believed, be in excess of the estimate made
before the enactment of the law. This liber.
