Endless Pensioning.

"Ihe payment OF pensions has
already cost this cover nment more
than its present bonded debt, more
than the indemnity paid by France
to Germany, and more than has
been paid by all the nations of the
earth in pensions since the dawn of
history" says az accurate writer
on statistical questions. Between
the years 1868, the total amount
paid for pensions was $1,628, 927,-
3Ss. Estimate what we must pay
and what we are under contract to
pay, and our national debt is greater
than the combined debts of all the
rest of the world. We could pay off
the national debts of every country
in the world easier than we can pay
the pensions We have promised to
pay"
To such a length has pension
legislation gone in this country.
1t is fortunate that the country is
one Of vast resources and great ma
tural wealth, otherwise the enormous
pension Indebtedness would at some
time be repudiated. The load of
taxation that the national law max
ers have heaped upon the backs of
their docile constituents can only
be borne because the people have
the wealth and resources of q con-
tinent at their disposal. No other
country has accumulated such tax
alton expenditures in so short
time as our own country has. We
believe there is O possible danger of
a final reputation of some of the
Indebtedness for pensions, especially
if the extravaganza legislation on
this subject goes much further.
There is danger, also, that the ten
dency Of extravagant pensioning is
to make soldiers mercenary. Some
soldiers are now demanding uni
versal service pensions, and it must
happen, unless revulsion of senti-
ment shall occur, that in the near
future soldiers will enlist only on
the stipulation that service pension
be allowed them or their heirs after
the service is over. There will be
but little difference between hiring
such troops and hiring mercenaries,
aud the nation obliged to do either
is in dangerous condition. Hither-
to the patriotism of the soldier has
had as much as any other consider
alton to do with his enlistment. 1t
is to be hoped that the feeling Of
national pride, chivalry and pa
triotism will not grow less by reason
of the evident bids for such a con-
dition that our Congressman are
making. A soldier who battles
only for a pension, or an army that
fights only in view of the subsequent
advantages to be derived, is not
such soldier or army as can be
relied upon in times Of public peril.

DESERVED HIS FATE.
Young Lady Maltreated by Negro.
He is Promptly Strung Up.

Macon. GA. October lS.-Willie Single
ton, colored, aged about % years, was
lynched in the outskirts of the city at a
late hour last night for an attempted as
sault on a young lady, the daughter of a
prominent citizen of Macon. Several weeks
ago the young lady, who had been away
from home, was expected 10 arrive by
the eleven o'clock train that night
at the Central station, where the
members of the family went TO meet her.
Instead of that she came in by the East
Tennessee road, whose station Is on the
opposite side of the town. She was placed
by policeman, TO whom she applied for
directions, in cab driven by Willie Sin
gletOn The negro did not drive directly TO
the Young lady's home, but took her by a
roundabout road, and in a lonely spot
committed an assault upon her. He then
left her at her own house IN an exhausted
condition and disappeared.
A few days ago Singleton was arrested
at Eufala. Ala, and an officer started with
him for Macon, but when a few miles from
the city Yesterday an armed party stopped
the train and took the prisoner. Last
night the negro was taken before his vic
tim and fully identified. The mob then
took him to the woods where the assault
had been committed, and hanging him to a
tree riddled his body with bulletes, and
left it swinging with placard bearing the
inscription "Our women are protected.
They must. and shall be safe All pres
ent took an oath not 10 reveal the name OF
the young lady. To-day the coroner held
an inquest over the dead body of Singleton.

sons unknown 10 the jury

THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
MASONRY.

Everything during the past week has
been quite in Masonic circles. and it was
change from the excitement OF last week,
which was incident to the good times then
had. The only meeting of Importance held
the past week was that of Wheeling Union
Chapter No. l, on last Monday evening,
when there was a large turnout of com
panions to assist in arching an aspirant,
who was there for that purpose, but owing
to the pressure of routine business, and the
lateness of the hour when the Chapter
proceeded to work, only the degrees of
Mark Master and that of Past Master were
conferred, the comforting of the other de-
grees being deferred until the next convo-
cation.
At the last meeting of Ohio Lodge it
was announced the subject of What
induced you to become a Mason"
was to be discussed at the next
meeting. and the subject will no doubt
cause large number of the Fraternity TO
add their experience on the subject, at that
time, as it is of interest to everybody.

The Jr. o. L. y. NJ. boys are having lots
of fun over what they call tie Oriental, -
a kind of annex to the Jr. .. This business
is generally held after the regular session
of council After all the preliminary ar
rangements are made the candidates are
required TO pay the sum of fifty cents as an
initiation fee, which money is supposed 10
be spent in a general all-arounu treat for
the benefit of those who take part in the
initiation. The whole thing is farce got
ten up for the purpose of treat at the ex-
pense of the candidates, with not one single
redeeming feature in il. The whole thing
from start to finish is calculated TO excite
to a mind not otherwise prudish, to sense
of lasciviousness, vulgarity and profanity,
largely stirred up with morality and vice.
Anthony Comstock with his society could
not find better place to get in their work.
To say that the initiation is rough is 10
speak mildly: if a man comes out with his
shirt whole, he is lucky indeed.

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN EAGLE.

In furnishing the doings of the Golden
Eagles this week, perhaps IL would not be
amisS to say word or so in regard to the
Uniform Rank that has been successfully
organized by Wheeling City Castle No. >.
The military feature is one of the most
pleasant and attractive, and adds greatly
10 the popularity of the order. Equip
ments of an elaborate nature are here Tor
inspection, and doubtless will be adopted
Wheeling City Castle No. is composed OF
a progressive set of gentlemen, who are
always advancing something of an elevated
character to further the interests of
the order. The forming of the Com
mandery is one of their latest limo
vatiOns and has met with general
approval among the prominent members
of the order Central Castle, No l, ad-
vanced FIVE Pilgrims to the degree OF
Knights, last Monday evening. The con-
ferring was truly beautiful, not mistake
of any nature tranSpiring to attract the
candidates attention from the imposing GER
emony The impression made upon the
hearts of those who were being Instructed
in the degree was apparent to all who wit
messed the grand work, for indeed our"
is Il grand work of undOuOted beauty. IL
is very refreshing to see the vast improve
ment of the work by members Of different
Castles. and their aim to promote the
growth and inculcate the teachings Of the
order in the minds of those who seek 10
wear the immortal crown. 1t is our duty
to cast u ray of light upon the order for the
benefit of those who have not connected
themselves with any fraternities. If mem
bers of the Knights of the Golden Eagle
march hand in hand onward with I'M
broken columns, and hang our banner on
the outward wall, embazoned with letters
of gold our motto Fidelity, Nalor and
Honor, our order will be the strongest and
grandest in existence
