else will they name? Plumb, Pettigrew
and Paddock alone had the political wis.
dom to see the danger to the Republican
party and to themselves that lurked in
the Mckinley bill, and voted against it
in the Senate on its final passage. All
of these favor free coinage, and voted
for the free coinage bill which passed
the Senate, although they agreed subse-
quently to the conference report, which
is now the law in force.
Plumb is undoubtedly the ablest of the
three, but Pettigrew, who is compare

forty-two years of age, is considered
good lawyer. of more than average abil-
ity, shrewed politician, and exceeding

upon as a coming man. Paddock is also
man of considerable force, but is by no
means as popular as either Plumb or
Pettigrew.
1t is very plain here that the campaign
of 1892 will be fought on the lines indi-

THUSE PENSIONS!
THY ARE ABOUT BANKRUPT
THE GOVERNMENT.

They Have Run the Deficiency Bill Up
5000 900, ,OOO.-Congress Must Repeal
Some OF the Robbery Laws-.or Make
the Taxes Still Heavier.
by United Press.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 21-The Herald 8
Washington correspondent says:
1t now appears that even Commission
er Raums estimate Of the deficiency
in the pension account this year is too
low, and that from information iust re-
ceived it is likely that the deficiency
will be $40, 100000 This means $780,
0OO,OOo instead of $135, 900, 600, this
year for pensions It means more than
$500, 900, 600 next year for pensions
1t means bankrupt treasury and an
impaired national credit even sooner
than the Herald had predicted.
1t means that Congress must come at
once to the relief of the overburdened
government and either repeal some of
these unnecessary pension laws or pro-
vide additional taxation for their pay
ment. If the pension Office works up to
the full limit Of the capacity of its pres
ent force in settling pension cases, and
| issues certificates as rapidly as the cases
are settled, the pension deficiency fol
this year will amount to $75, 10000 in
stead of $4O,000,0OO. At the smallest
calculation this increased capacity vii
amount to an increase of $9.O0O,O0 OF
| $4,000, 900 over the commissioner esti
mate. That will make the pension ex
penditures $3.50, ,OOO,o 600 for the year
How will Secretary Window be able t.
avoid admitting iu his forthcoming re
port that the end of the present fsca
| year will see the government without
penny to pay current expenses with.

two postage stamps and penny Before
Christmas the people Of Nex York and
Brooklyn will be able to do this at cigar

club houses and drug stores and other
public houses. Morrison Renshaw, the
General Manager Of the Postage Stamp
Service Machine Company, had confer
ence with Postmaster General Wanama
ker few days ago The conclusions
were mntany satisfactory. twenty-five
hundred of the little machines
are bsing turned out as the
first installment. They will be scatter
ed ali over New York and Brooklyn next
month. The Post Office Department
recognizes the automatic device as a
great public convenience. On large
purchases Of stamps a considerable re-
duction is made b. the Government.
The machines will he set up wherever
there is demand for them, At trifing
rental. From this rental and tie reduc-
ed cost of stamps in large quantities the
company expects to derive its profits.
The advantage to the shopman who
rents one for Sc day is that he has
something which helps to draw people
to his place. The convenience to the
public is evident. The Post Office De-
partment is watching the innovation
with great interest. 1t is expected the

from New York to other cities.

several cabalistic signs and finally,
plunging his right hand into sack in

around the neck and arm of the old man
while its head grazed the white beard of
Uncle Dick, who in return, was caress

han | ng the snake for twenty minutes
the old man announced that he was 60

| that moment the crowd surveyed all the
surrounding doors, so as to be sure OF
| making a successful break if it should
be necessary. Uncle Dick seized the
| snake by the neck, made more mysteri-
| Gus signs, took a firm attitude, with hi.
eyes riveted on the serpent's eyes to
fascinate it, and all Of sudden he swal-
lowed the snake by the head to the
length of twelve or fourteen inches in
his stomach and quickly brought it out
The spectators expressed freely their as

body, and waving like an orator, hi'
