UP to the present time the English have
invested $83, 100000 in our breweries. AS
they will touch nothing that does not pay at
least per cent. per annum net, this means an
annual increase in our tribute to i" the great
creditor nation" of fully $6,O0O,OOO, or 10
centsa head for every man, woman and child
in the country. And what power the
English influence will become in our poll
tics through this Investment. In this coun-
try, as in England, the breweries control the
saloons-most of the latter being under
mortgage to the former-and the saloons
are powerful machines for controlling votes.
What will be the result when all of the
saloons are under the thumb of little syn
dictate of English brewers, and can be ma
nuyered at word of command from head
quarters?

THE Hays City Kan Republican does not
feel at all alarmed about the financial ont
look Of the State. Even assuming that the
mortgages there amount to 1926 OOOO 600
which is the highest figure named, this is
still less than one-third that of Indiana.
one-half that Of Iowa and Michigan and
but one-sixth that Of Ohio. On the other
hand, the farm products of Kansas for 1889
were worth $250,0O0, 00O which would paw off
the entire lot Of mortgages and leave Sl5.-
100000 over. Or, $4,000, 900 could be an
piled to raising the mortgages and leave
$l25,0OO0OO for improvements, etc. The
passage of justly-libcral pension bill would
do much toward reducing the mortgages on
the farms of the 100000 veterans who have
made their homes in the great SunGower
State.

ancient times when "aboo was part of every
Kettle battle cry-like our hurrah. but easier
to utter. The Kildare men shouted "Crom

the O'Donevans. The O'Neirs shouted Lawy

hand, was the clan badge. The O'Briens yelled
Lands aboO,' or "Strong hand, hurrah."
1t is also noted that the Tartar horsemon shout
"Yabu," to urge their steeds on.

PENSION PROSPECTS.

Last week the Senate and House members
of the Committee Of Conference on the Pen
sion Bill reported to those bodies that no
agreement had been reached, and new con-
ference was ordered. Another meeting of
the Committee will take place some time
this week, and possibly an agreement will
he reached.
All hope of getting the Senate to agree to
a recognition of the service pension idea
in connection with n Disability Bill has
been nearly abandoned. The Senators ex-
press themselves rs solidly against it, and
Senator Davis, the Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Pensions frankly expresses
his opposition TO it, especially in connection
with a Disability Bill. He thinks the
country is not yet ready for service pensions
As We said last week, it is generally I'M
derstood that the Senate has conceded the
other essential features of the House substi-
tute for the Dependent Pension bill. The
Objectionable dependent" feature will be
waived, and pensions given for disability,
without regard 10 dependence. Other minor
features which have been strongly objected
TO will be eliminated.
1t is felt now that if the House will con-
sent to purely disability bill, without any
recognition of the service pension idea, that
bill will at once be agreed upon, and inn
mediately put through both bodies and sent
TO the President
As soon rs this bill is out of the way Maj.
Morrill, will push the Prisoners of War bill
and other desired legislation to considera-
tion and passage The passage of the Silver
Bill clears the way for this

ALL our talk and poetry about rising with
tho lark will have to be modified There are
several birds, naturalists say, who are much
earlier risers than the sweet songster who has
received so much praise for his matutinal pre-
viousuess. He does not tune up until some
time after . a. m, while the thrush begins sing
ing at 4:50 the robin and wren 20 minutes
earlier than that, the backbird greets the
morn at l. the quail whistles at 3, the black
cap sings at 2:3o, and the greenfuch leads them
ALL with salutation to the new day at 1880
Nevertheless, the lark is quite as carly as we
wish. Tell US of some bird that sings about Z
o'clock, and ho will have a better chance at
our affections than his entirely too previous
brethren.

On the first OF the present month law

under 10 years of age are not permitted
to chew or smoke. The intention of the
legislature was probably good, but that
the act will amount to anything practic-
ally does not seem probable The smok.
ing of cigarettes seems a senseless thing
Ii one desires to smoke tobacco, why not
use 1t in the usual form-in pipes or ci-
gars-and not resort to practice that
has heen time and again proved to be
unhealthy and dangerous to much great
er degree than the inordinate use of the
weed. But the chewing of tobacco
well, that's matter of taste, and very
strong taste at that. Without consider
ing the question pro and con regarding
the comfort or RIGHTEOUSNESS of the use
OF tobacco in any form, any law-making
power that can keep Juveniles under is
from using the weed ought to be heartily
commended. Try it on the Rock Island
