Pensions by Wholesale.

New York World.l
Thesurplus spendersof the House
haveadded to the pension list at one
swoopfve hundred thousand men
more than a grand army'of thelgreat
Napoleon. It was the boast,of one
of the Republicans who supported
this service-pension bill that "the
total expenditure for pensions
would reach $450,000,000 per an
mum, 'or nearly 43 per cent. of
the gross income Of the Govern
ment." This, he added, '"was not
all he wished to do, but it resulted
IN mmifcent generosity, such as
the world had never before wit
messed, and exceeding that of all
the other civilized nations COM
.bined." Is not this q proud Boast
for a peaceful republic, whose rev.
enues come from taxes upon the
people and whose ARMIES were COM
posed of citizens enlisted to defend
their own Government? The pen
sion list of the United States will
cost, if this bill shall pass the Sen
ate, more than the largeststanding
army in the world. And instead
,of diminishing it will increase
yearly, as more and more soldiers
reach the age Of sixty years. The
bill is as bad in principle as it is
reckless in Its provisions. It pen
sions all equally, without regard te
their length of service, their phys
ical condition, Or their need of as
sistance. 1t makes a discarded

Bank Deposit Lobbyists.


The Knoxville Sentinel calls at
tention to the fact that the two
Republican nominees for Congress
in the First District, sRoderick
Random Butler and Alfred A. Tay-
dor, were conspicuous members of
the lobby which undertook the
bank depositors' refunding scheme
through the legislatrrein 1881, and
says: "a scheme of This sort re-
quiredengineering. Lobbying be-
came necessary. Senators andrep-
resentatives were averse toallowing
them to'charge so large a debt upon
their constituents. 1t was known
that most of the deposits had been
bought up by spectators. It was
believed that they had given only 5
cents ON the dolhr for them. The
merit of the original depOsitor was
small enough; but the speculator
was not ome-tenth as deserving
even as he. Persuasion and infu-
ence, therefore, were necessary.
They were found. Politicians of
acquaintance and experience came
forward and volunteered their ser
vices in behalf Of the ,depositors'

was said they were to receive half
the profits of the scheme. Eight
men, four Republicans and four
Democrats, were then said to be
interested in the measure. Earn.

night and by day for their clients;
and as a reward for their fidelity,
and a tribute to their ability, the
bill passed the State senate, ,'appro-
priating $800,000 ont Of the State

The Charm of a Sweet Voice.
New York Star.1


met the other day one Of the most
fashionable women in the city, and the
thing about her that charmed me most
was her perfectly trained voice. 1t was
low and melodious, never raised above a
certain pitch, but her enunciation was
perfectly clear. A sweet, low voice is
one Of the most seductive charms in a
woman, and yet how seldom one is
found. The majority of women do not
seem to realize this, and ones ears are
constantly being tortured by the sound
of loud, shrill voices. At restau-
rant where l frequently dine comes
very often pretty young woman with
her mother, and when see her coming
I want to go. She has a high pitched,
cracked, old womans voice, that takes
away my appetite and sets my nerves on
edge. At a recent afternoon reception
a handsome lady entered and began to
talk. AS soon as she began every one
else stopped and listened, for her voice
was so loud and harsh that it drowned
every other. She was clever, and what
she said was worth listening to, but it
was torture to the sensitive ear. The
speii OF a beautiful face is often broken
ny a marsh, uncultivated voice, while
sweet voice almost makes plain face
pretey' would turn round in a crowd
TO discover the owner of an attractive
voice, but would not turn round in the
street to catch second glimpse of a
pretty face. Pretty faces are con,roo,,
enough, one sees them everywhere. but

sweetlv modulated voice is indeed rare

LNNANNoO
There is in pretentious Office build
ing in New York gentleman with a
serene and humorous cast of face, an
erect figure and q smile that is as much
identified with his countenance as are
his dropping glasses and elusive blonde
mustache. His name is James Goodwin,
and he is a creator Of ideas. He sells
the ideas in the rough, makes capital
living and works on contentedly, with
out a trace of yearning for fame, yet the
fame of many caricaturists and artists
in New York belongs by right to him.
Artists and newspaper illustrators are
almost entirely destitute of humor,
taken all in all, although there are one
or two exceptions. The majority of
them have the ability to draw cleverly,
but the inventive and humorous facul-
ties are not included in their mental and
artistic make up. These men Mr.. Good
win supplies with ideas His sketches
are made roughly on brown paper and
forwarded to different artists regularly
every day. One week no less than nine
pictures in the comic papers were in
spired by the creator of ideas, although
they are all signed by the names of
prominent caricaturists in very large,
black and prominent letters. Mr.. Good
win declares, by the way, that the art
lists lack assurance more than ability,
and that if they only knew the trick
they could create an idea as easily as he
does it for them But they do not seem
able to find out the Goodwin secret.
