Brother BIaine's Pan-American Congress
and What 1T Has Proved.
vThe South Americans who attended
the late congress at Washington are not
enthusiastic in the expression of conf
dence that its labors will produce inn
portant beneficial results. The Argen-
tines especially object to the more tariff
tendencies Of the United States Con-
gress. They have wheat and some
other things to sell, and are shipping
much of their products to England and
getting her manufactures in return.
They would like to send us wool and
other articles on the same terms but
the tariff prohibits such traffic and the
Argentine representative freely ex-
presses his disgust at the proposition
that his country shall assist in cover
ing the seas with ships sailing only in
ballast"
But in truth the pan-American con-
gress was only wanted by our statesmen
to make up some sort of an excuse for
enormous steamship subsidies, and the
South American notion that something
should e~6eaad- Notwithstanding sta
carry in their voyages to this country
finds no favor with our tarifIites. Look
ing to the. interests of the dearly be-
loved manufacturers, they would will
8ngly spend the Nations money in
giving cheap transportation for Ameri-
can goods to the Southern continent
and with that and a chance for Blaine
to exhibit himself as president of a
great council of The three Americas,
they would have Been content. AChica-

According to Mr.. Raum Public Office Is
Family Snap.
The pension agency conducted by
John Raum, SON of Green b. Raum, the
Commissioners OF Pensions, pursues in
it's circulars the methods by which Pre-
torianism has been made menace to
American institutions. II urges all
who can put in claim for pensions to
do SO .'at once" and insists that those
who have been pensioned already should
apply for increase or rerating.
BY this method thousands of old SOL
diers who would have been content
otherwise to earn q living in independ-
ence, as Americans should, have been
debauched until they prefer dependence
on the public purse as outdoor paupers
to the work necessary to retain their
own self-respect. and prevent them,
selves from becoming an unwelcome
burden on the labor of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of circulars such
as the Raum agency Is now sending out
have been distributed. The pension
agents CD ain the addresses OF as many
veterans as possible and lombard
them with circulars, telling them how
easy it is to get pension, and insist
ing that it is almost if not quite crimi-
nal = to neglect such opportunities.
: Under such assaults the manliness of
the veteran too often yields. He argues
that he might as we'll take pension as
the thousands of others who are doing
1t, and he presently gets himself on the
roll of public dependents, where he re-
mains for life, an imposition on over
burdened workers who have q constant
Struggle to support their own families.

better able to live at their own expense.

Going the rounds of the Canadian
press at this time is an account of an
enormous buffalo pelt which made it's
appearance from the Chippewayan coun-

one if it will compare with the robe
which Colonel j, of the United
States army, was given in 1915. The
Colonel sent High Feather and Bear
Face, in September, 1876, into the camp
of hostile Sioux to recover as many
relics of the Inflated Custer command
as possible, and to gather what informa-
ton was possible about Sitting Bulls
whereabouts and intentions. The In
