Midsummer by the Sen.

Ever attractive, and particularly
at this season of the year, is the
seashore, with its cool broezes and
nvigorating surf bathing, and no
whore on the Atlantic Cost can one
better enjoy himself than at Allan
tic City, the Brighton of America.
Where shall i spend my vacation
this summer? is somewhat of
problem with most people, and this
little item may help them to solve
it with gratifying results to them
selves.
The expense of most trips Of any
length is an important factor in tho
discussion, which in this case is re-
duced TO u minimum. Board and
hotel accommodations can be had
at Atlantic City at all prices, and
by consulting the table of the II. II.
fares shown below it will be found
that II trip to this great watering
resort can be made ut less expense
than any other resort within tho
same distance, to say nothing of the
attractions to be found there.
The second excursion of the sea-
son is announced by the Baltimore
and Ohio r. X. for Thursday, July
18th. We give below list of sta
tions showing the time of trains

THE New York Star is sending
out petitions for signatures remon-
strating against the Federal Eloc-
ton Bill now pending before con-
gress and known as House Bill No.
l,O45, "to amend and supplement
the election laws OF tho United
States" This protest is made in
the belief that the enactment of
that bill, or any like one, would
tend to destroy the purity, freedom
and fairness of elections. would un-
necessarily impose heavy burdens
on the taxpayers, and would, by
revolutionizing the constitutional
practices of a acentury, impcril our
popular institutions. The bill has
passed the lower house OF congress
and is now pending before the SEN
ate.

to let the Bill rest until the next
session when it can be passed by
the Senate if Republican congress
men are not returned from what
are considered southern Republican
districts. The situation can be
summed up in the statement that
this election scheme is not vet law
and it is not positively certain that
it ever will be law.

Speaker Reed has Mt last perpe-
trated the political infamy 80 far
as the house is concerned, Of put
ting the power, in partisan fac
tion to control National Elections,
or, in other words, to determine
the results Of all National contests.
This is what the force Bill means,
pure and simple. 1t was confident
lv expected by the leaders on the
Democratic side that a sufficient
number Of fair minded Republicans
would come forward to defeat this
odious Legislation, and had the vote
been taken two weeks ago such
would have been the result, but the
intimation went quietly to what
were called weak kneed Repubi-
cans, that they must support the
force Bill or the vcDgence Of the
Republican National Committee
would be meted out TO them. Thus
these men who wanted to be honest
bad to choose between vote con-
sciontously given and political
death. They sacrificed conscience
for political prefcrment but it was
a hard struggle for them and it was
only at the last moment that Reed
felt perfectly safe in his narrow
majority. The passage Of this ex-
treme measure in the Senate will
not be as easy as in the House.
There it will give rise 10 most ex-
tended debate, as 10 is not possible
to cut short discussions Of a meas.
ure IN the higher legislative cham
Der as in the House. or course a
change Of the present rules would

THE NEW PENSION LAW.

lhe mum Der OF individuals who
will be placed OH the pension rolls
under the recent pension act is a
matter of much uncertainty even
to the pension officials who have
studied the subject. 1t is. they
say, an impossibility to predict
with any approach to accuracy the
number of invalid claims which
Will be filed as the law authorizes
the issue of a pension for any per-
manent mental or physical disabil-
ity, even if it is not the result of
army service, excluding of course,
those parties who have injured
mind or body through their own
vicious habits. Only one thing is
approximately certain in this con-
nection, and this is that there are
now S72, 9S7 survivors of the war
not now on the pension rolls. Out
of this number S2,S33 now have
applications pending in the Pen
SION Office under the provisions Of
the old laws.
With widows claims there is a
little better basis for correct specu-
lation, for the new law gives every
soldiers widow n pension without
regard to the cause of his death, 1T
not being required to show that it
arose from his army service.
There are now 112,8S3 widows
claims before the Pension Office un-
der the old laws of which 1866
have been rejected because the sol
dlers death could not be proved to
have resulted from the army SER
vice.
In the case Of the dependent par
ents there will be large increase
OF such applications as many were
deferred under the old laws from
presenting claims because they were
required to prove dependence at the
date Of the soldiers death. All
that is necessary under this recent
law, however, is that they are at
present dependent on their manual
labor or the contributions of others
for support. There are now 0,414
claims of dependent parents on the
files Of the Pension Office which
have been rejected because depen-
dence at the time Of the soldiers
death could not be established.
AS stated the pension officials say
that accuracy Of prediction cannot
be guaranteed as to the number OF
persons who will come in under the
new law, but as the pensions will
commence from the date OF filing
the applications, an incentive for
claimants to make out their declar-
ations as speedily as possible, con
sistent though, with having them
made out in proper form, for they
will not be good unless made out
in regulation style--it will not be
many months before some idea can
be formed as to how extensive will
be the operations of this latest ad-
dition TO pension legislation.
