Elections may come and elections
NAV 20, but taxation, like Tennison' 5
brook. flows on forever. Our pen
sion payments are now about $l35,-
100000 a year, and constantly in
creasing. At the present rate OF
growth they will reach almost to APP
palling figures by the middle Of the
present decade. The population OF
the country is in round numbers G3,-
100000, so that it requires a per
capita tax of 81 or every man, wom-
an and child in the country to meet
these ex6rbitant pension claims; and
if we take five persons as the size of
an average family the tax is $40 for
every family in the land.
Twenty years ago Gen Garfield, in
fayoring a moderate system of pen
sions, expressed the opinion that the
payments on these would decrease
year by year, by the death of pen
sioners. The payments then were
S2S,OO0,OO0, and now they are $780,
O00,000-nearly five times as great.
Next year they will be greater and
they will not stop there. They will
continue to increase, if the present
rate is maintained, till they reach
S200,000,O00. In plain words we
are paying now $135,0oo,00O a year
for war which ended twenty-six
years ago This is $50, 100000
more than the annual cost of the
German army, and $24, 100000 more
than the annual cost of the French
army. With theses facts in view
the United States can afford to have
and enjoy long period of peace.

The naval review, which Is promised for

parade is to occur on Monday with 1900 men
in line. Evolutions of ships Of the combined
squadrons, boat drills and a sham battle is
the programme for Tuesday. An interest
ing feature will be an exhibition OF torpedo
warfare by the torpedo boat Cushing.
The wind has blown gale from the south
all day. The velocity Of the storm is the
greatest known here for years, but as the
harbor Is sheltered by mountains no appre-
hension is felt for the shipping. Beyond a
few slight disasters no harm has been done
as yet. The fury Of the gale did not prevent
many prominent people from attending Ad-
ception on board the Philadelphia. Among
the guests were Secretary Tracy and Sena-

point Of landing is about 20 miles from Val

The President, as soon as he learned OF

HANOVER. N. H, August 2l.-Almy, who
was removed after his arraignment this
morning to the room adjoining the tower on
the fourth floor OF the Wheelock House, has
been guarded all day by two men. His con-
dition steadily improved and he Is as bright
and eneerful tonight as any man could be
whose future promised the same somewhat
stirring events as his does. Everything Is
quiet tonight. The law OF the state Is such
that no person unconvIcted can be LOGGED In
any other jail than the one In the county
where the. crime was committed without an
order from two justices OF the supreme court.

Correspondence Between Senator
Char Ter end Hon. A. B. kettIetcn.

WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator Chand-
Ter Of New Hampshire, chairman Of the i'm
migration committee of the Senate, recently
addressed leteer to the Secretary Of the
Treasury expressing the opinion that Con-
or general practice Of permitting the land
ing of immigrants belonging to any prohib-
tied class, simply upon their furnishing a
bond to the effect that they should not be-
come public charge. Acting Secretary
Nettleton, writing In reply to Secretary
Chandler, states in substance that the ques-
tion thus raised has not failed to receive
proper consideration by the Treasury De-
partment, and that 1t is not the intention to
permit the practice Of bonding destitute i'm
migrants to grow up into system. He
states that both ex-Attorney General Gar
land and Attorney General Miller have fur
nished written opinions, expressing the
view that under existing legislation bonds OF
this nature may be properly taken by the
Secretary OF the Treasury In such exception
al cases as, In the exercise of just discretion,
he thinks entitled to such treatment. The
acting secretary further states that the in
such rcases as fall distinctly within the
meaning of the law and thus officially inter-
preted, the practice being mainly confined to
instances where refusal would result In seq
arating members of family and thus cause
degree of hardship which 1t is not believed
was contemplated by Congress. He states
that the number Of bonds thus far taken
represents relatively very small number of
pers 0ns.
