THE BURDEN PENoIONS.


Republican administration at Wash
ingtoR and the reckless expenditures
of tho billion congress are we'll set
forth by the New York Commercial
Bulletin, an authority whose conser-
vatism in statement is prosarbial.
The expenditures OF the government
for the past fiscal year were s333, G00.-
GOO, and Of this amount S7l,l00,0OO
were paid in interests on tho public
debt, premiums on bonds and on az
count OF the national bank redemp
ti"n fluid. In 1850, the not ordinary
expenditures of the government. We're
Sl69,O0O,OCO, and in 1890 they were
S26l, 100000. During the last fiscal
year they reached the unprecedented
SUN Of S3l7 100000. There has been
no unusual warrant for such an in
crease, and the only explanation that
can be given for il is criminal extrav-
agance. The most prominent uture
OF this record is pensions, which have
more than doubled during the past
decade. The expenditures OH this
account for the past year. reached the
alarming figure Of Sl24 100000. Ten
years 40, the pension appropriations
amounted to $5O,OOO,O 900, and yet there
was no complaint on the part Of hon
est claimants that their claims were
neglected. But it was only during the
past two years that the sharks in,
Washington contrived to get from the
billion Congress and corrupt pension
bureau what they had failed 10 gain
previously. Tho outgo Of the peoples
money for pensions has now reuciled
such'a frightful extent that halt is
imperatively demanded. The revis-
ion of the pension lists is absolutely
necessary, for it is u notorious fact
that. on those lists are tlousanl, of
nalues which have no right to be
thUfe.
Tie system, o"iI;n ally conceived in
tho beSt patriotic spirit, aaI intended
to exo,uplify tha nltion's sr4:iLuie
towards it's defenders, has desenerateL
into conven;oaJ source Of colossal
fortunes To the worst brood of harp;os
that ever atil.c5oi Il government. Th.
pension Office has 5.'cn so duuIornlizrd
uuIer Tanuer and Raul that it has
become by-"oTl OF shame. Ono COM

intention to bankrupt tho treasury

THE DIRECT TAX.

The recent Congress appropriated
some S15,0O0,000 with which to
repay the sums collected by a direct
levy by the various States over a
quarter of a century ago. Five
sixths of this refund will go to the
Northern States and less than one
sixth to the States of the South,
which accounts for Congress passing
the measure. But now a portion of
the South's small prorata is with
held on account of the alleged old
debts of some of the States to the
government. For example, the fol-
lowing States should receive the
appended amounts: Arkansas, $751;
701 Is: Florida, S4,766 26; Louisiana,
1914, 500 81; North Carolina, $751;
452 81; South CoroIina, 1925, 1896 Sc;
Tennessee, S392,OO4 IS; Virginia,
$442, 10000. But now is adduced
the plea that these States have been
indebted to the United States as
trustee for certain Indian tribes and
the Smithsonian Institution, on &C
count of State bonds and interest.
The scheme to withhold the re-
fund from the States in question,
says the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, alleges that Congress has regu-
larry appropriated money to pay the
interest of these bonds, and that the
country has in fact been compelled
to assume the indebtedness, to the
amount both of principal and inter
est. And the contention is accord
ingly made that the sums which
under the terms of the direct-tax re-
funding act, would go to these in
debted States, should be used to
iquidate the said indebtness in whole
or in part.
1t is probable, however, that the
scheme will fail to materialize. The
alleged Indebtedness is, to large
extent of the principal and to the
entire of the interest, wholly imagin-
airy. The State in question never
incurred or recognized it, and the
action of Congress in assuming it
has knocked on the head whatever
shadow of claim the Treasury may
have had to recover it.

NORTH AND SOUTH .

Massachusetts, is going into the
abandoned farm business, like the
other New England States, not find
ing it profitable; although the popu,
lation is increasing the average IN
der cultivation is steadily diminish
ing, the State Bureau of Labor,
which has been inquiring into this
matter, discovers that there are
1851 abandoned farms in the State,
representing "a per cent of its total
acreage. These are farms totally
abandoned, and not those which the
owners have left but are still cult
waited. They are deserted, forlorn
and desolate, and the buildings are
more than half of them in decay.
And these abandoned farms are in
creasing in number yearly, and the
people showing less and less dis
position for farm life.
But is this the only cause of their
abandonment Agriculture has
ceased to be profitable in many por-
tons of New England by reason of
the competition Of the South and
west with her better climate, cheaper
labor and land, and ultimately many
New England farms playing at

posing game will be abandoned.

loosing game will be abandoned.
Vermont feared the result and
tried hard to keep her farms from
being abandoned. The Commission
of Immigrations made special offers
to immigrants DESTROYS of settling
in Vermont, but very little was &C.
complished, for the farms in that
State are still abandoned.
Agriculture in New England is on
the decline, while in the South it is
in the ascendency. If you are a
farmer turn your face towards the
South and settle in a country of
genial sunshine, where land is cheap
and the best farm labor in the world
abundant.
Texas has room for thousands OF
farmers, and,will welcome them.

WE THINK 1T WOULD WORK.

The Galveston News says: How
would it 40 to infict disfranchise-
ment for a number of years as a
part of the penalty for misdemean-
ors of the most troublesome varie-
ties? If a man is convicted of petit
larceny let him be fully punished
and deprived of the ballot for ten
years. For carrying pistol, gamb,
ling, habitual drunkenness, etc, add
to the penalty term of five OF ten
years Acknowledgement. No doubt
such provision would weaken the
criminal or vicic-s element at the
polls and enable the people to elect
officers who would enforce the laws
a trife better"
Such law would have the effect
of DISTINGUISHING many voters, who
are, by reason of their own lawless-
ness, opposed to men holding the
positions who endeavor to rigidly
enforce the law. And the Office
holders, dependent somewhat upon
the support of such men, pander to
their ideas of lax and lenient en-
forcement until some of the laws are
violated with such impunity from
year to year that they become a
dead letter on the statue books.
Any scheme that would keep the
worst element from having any
hand in the administration of the
country could not produce other
than good results.
