4 THRILLING RgPERIsvcR
A Big sea Lion Attacks n Railroad
Express Messenger.

Express Messenger
KANSAS CIrY, Mo-, JULY s.--Fsnk
Terry. Wells. Fargo & Co. express
messenger, and bis assistants had a
trillinC experience on Santa Fe train,
near Argentine on sunday with a biz
sea lion which with three others had
been shipped from San francisco 10
New York. The animals had been
brought down from the seal Islands in
the Pacific car by the owner Of a 10
ological garden in New York. They
were taken from the ship, where they
had been in water, and shipped Ia three
large wooden cages, well constructed
and strongly bound by hemp ropes.
The intense heat and absence Of water
proved disastrous for the animals. One
Of them died at Denver On the train
between that point and Kansas City one
of the males went mad and attacked his
mate, killing her instantly by biting her
head nearly off lie then howled most
dismally for several hours, aud the oc-
cupants Of the car were considerably
frightened. The animals finally quieted
down and gave no further trouble until
Argentine was reached
Then he became furious again and
raising himself on his four fins used his
tail with such force that he broke the
cage into pieces and then made an at.
tack on Express Messenger Terry, who
jumped on a pile Of express matter, but
was quickly driven from that position.
The men at last made their escape
through the side door of the car and
closed It behind them. The seal ragged
for five minutes and then dropped dead.
The carcass, weighing j1S pounds, was
taken to Armour's packing house and
skinned. The remaining seal was wat
cred here and shipped on to New York.

A PENSION HALT CALLED.


From ths Neir I0Jk TriBR8e
il the entire population is 66 .000. 600,
about one person in eighty eight of
the population receives q pension. and
the amount o appropriated is about
S224 for every person on the rolls this
year Out Of all the money raised by
customs, internal taxes and misceliane.
Gus receipts for the benefit of AN the
people, nearly half is paid over to one.
eighty eighth Of the people, and little
more than one-half is expended for all
other national purposes. Yet there are
further bills proposed, and clamorousiv
urged by pension agents, which would
take out Of the Treasury about So 0OO.

The Tribune thinks il time to say
that this is going too far The measure
Of proper expenditure for this purp9se
has been reached, If indeed il has not
been passed already, While anv ptrt
OF those who saved the nation from de
struction were subject to want, or their
widows, children or helpless parents.
there was an honorable feeling that
they. should be remembered by a pow.
erful and prosperous people. even
though in the attempt to do so avenues
should unavoidably be opened for ex-
tensive frauds.
But the people will certainly stop
Somewhere, and then, if appropriations
for this object seem to them excessive
or frauds too numerous, there may be a
fiat refusal TO continue the appropria-
tions already made He is not the true
friend OF the soldier In the deliberate
judgment Of the Tribune, who now
asks for further appropriations in his
behalf.
The youngest Of those who served in
the Union Army must TO day be about
AZ years of age. Only one eighth Of
those living at any time exceed that
age, so that of the 1000. 900 male adults
who were living when the war closed
not more than 900, 600 are living now.

Instead Of seeking TO make Of these a

TO make them a generation of young
Yipers. They see Ia their Government,
as II Is now organized, a foreigner aud
an enemy not a fellow citizen and
friend. They feel at the hands of the
party in power the mailed clasp of war,
not the gentle pressure Of peace. They
hear from the oTacles Of that party
nothing but taunts and curses, exeera-
tions and accusations, assailing all that
