A Commendable Reform.


aOullc hcBl5LeT, Dcm.J
Crowding out the insatiably rapacious pen-
sion attorneys is one of the most commendable
reforms that the House Committee on PEN
sions has yet undertaken. Reducing their fee
from $40 to 81 would do great deal toward rid
ding the departments of these vampires. We
are pleased to note that Secretary Noble. en-
couraged by the action of the committee. has
announced that pension attorneys are not at all
essential to the consideration ana passing of
pension claims

Gaining Him National Praise,

st. Louis Globe-Democrat Rep.l
The opposition of Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania. to the Federal elections bill is secur-
ing him some abuse among members Of his
party in his State, but it is gaining him praise
in the party in the greater part of the country.
Nor is his position on this measure likely to
hurt him much in his State, for there can be
no reasonable doubt that he will be reelected.

A WORTHY PERFORMANCE.
Mr. Barretts Shylock Successful, II Not
Exactly Shakespeare's Ideal.

Exactly Shakespeare's Ideal.
Shylock is not Mr.. Lawrence Barrett's
greatest character, but he scored a pal psble
success in the part at the Duquesne last even
ing, and the PorttG of Miss Gale was an ideal
performance. especially in the lighter scenes.
Her portrayal of the emotions arising from
the supposed false bcstowal of the ring makes
one long to see ner in "As You Like 1t" or any
OF Miss Terrys comedy parts. Exception must
however, be taken TO the antonio of Mr.
Frederick Vroom. 1t was distinctly stiff and
conventional. Mr.. J. A. Lanes Grdttano inn
proved considerably in the later acts. and Mr.
Lawrence Hanley as BGssdnto made a decided
hit. Mention may be made of Mrs. Beaumont
Smiths Nertssa which was dainty confection,
coauettish and wnsome to a degree.
The scenery, especially in the moonlight
scene at Belmont, was particularly good, and
the choruses were well rendered.

ALL FROM THE SOUTH.
What Our Contemporaries in Dixie's Land
Are Talking About
Honest Pensions All Right,

H0nest PENSIONS All Right
Dallas, Tex, News, Dem.
Some people seem to labor under the unac-
ountable notion that the Government pays the
pensions. They forget that 'the Government"
is the most INDECENT beggar in the country.
The people pay the pensions and they pay the
Government also. Many well-to-do-fraud is
kept in fdleness and ease by the contributions
of people who labor night and day for the
money. Pensions to the helpless are all right.
Pensions to partisan favorites are all wrong.
