The Cost Of Our Pensioners.

Senator Carlisle. in the February
Forum gives some startling figures re-
garding the cost OF our remnant of the
Union soldiery as compared with the
immense standing armies of the great
nations OF the earth. He notes that
Great Britain, with regular army Of
more than 225,O00 officers and men,
and u total force, effective and non -ef-
fective, of 6lS,0OO, pays annually less
than $75, 900 900, and France, with q
regular force of $4,000, besides an
enormous reserve, pays Sill GOO, 900.
The great army of the German Empire.
the best appointed and equipped mill
tary force in the world, consisting, on
peace footing. OF $4,000 officers
and men. costs annually less than $685.
100000, while the actual field force OF
Russia numbering $4,000, is main
tanned at an expense of less than 1884,
100000. These are the annual charges
to which the people OF four great Eu-
ropean nations are sui; ected in order
to maintain constantly available and
effective force for their own defense in
case OF war. and for the preservation OF
the " balance OF power" which their
governments consider necessary to
guarantee their independence.
Neither these or any other standing
army in The world costs the people so
much as our army Of discharged SOL
diers. Although we are at peace
among ourselves and with all the
world, and have no foreign or domestic
policy to make such an expenditure
necessary, We are paying more than
$l35, 900 900 annually to the soldiers
OF war that closed twenty-five years
ago. The payment of reasonable pen
sions, on account OF wounds actually
received and diseases actually con-
tracted in the military or naval forces
in time OF war, is just and right in it.
self, and is, moreover, the wisest policy
that can be adopted by government
which relies for its defense almost ex-
upon the voluntary services
Of its citizens; but the gratuitous dis
.ribution of public money among GER
lain classes of the people is neither
Just nor consistent with the character
)f our institutions.

BALTIMORE SOCIETY
Is Shocked by the Action of

Honor Of a Company of Amateurs
Who Gave L'Africanne.r
Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch !

Special to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
BALTIMORE, Jan. 22.-The society and
teurs, who came to Baltimore Tuesday and
added about 81, 600 to the funds of the Con-
fedeate home by their performance of
IL Africanne,' had very cordial recep-
ton. The sale of tickets was enormous,
and the crush at the performance was most
inspiring to those having the matter in
charge. The hospitalties extended to the
visiting amateurs were very lavish. There
was generous supply OF refreshments
behind the wings, with which some of those
who sang, and some who did not, moisJened
their Threats during the performance
There was also an abundance at the Albion
and st. James, where the guests were en-
tertained at dinner after the performance,
and at the German given by the Junior
Cotilion club in the evening. Here several
of them under the influence of the excite
ment of the day became more demonstra-
tive than Baltimore society is accustomed
to. James G. Blaine, ir., who was one of
four grand inquisitors in the cast of
''L Africanne," became uncomfortable in
his tight shoes, and finally to relieve his
feelings removed the offending articles and
displayed his stockings to the astonished
guests. This was not in exact accord with
Baltimorean ballroom etiquette, so the
son of the secretary of state was persuaded
to retire to his hotel, where he could devote
his entire attention to the task of making
himself comfortable.

The Los Angeles Cable railway Ronos

CHICAGO, Jan. &c. B. Holmes. speak
ing OF the story in morning paper about
alleged irregular practices in connection
with the building of the Los Angeles Gable
railway system and floating the securities,
said that New York bond dealers NAV
have sent an agent there to investigate the
affairs of the company, but that there was
any ground whatever for criminal prose-
cutlon is absolutely untrue. The bonds
were issued with the approval of the stock
holders who also decided that the road
should be built by temporary loans and
when finished the bonds be divided among
the stockholders pro rata The road was
SO built but in the meantime money he
came scarce, the stockholders, with few
exceptions, refused to take the bonds and
the notes were left in the banks. Efforts
to sell the bonds to outside parties were
unsuccessful because of the general finan-
cial stringency.
In regard to the alleged misrepresenta-
ton of the value of the Los Angeles road
Holmes says the books were kept in ,os
Angeles and in one of the reports seen
there there was an accidental clerical
error in the ten thousand column that
made great difference in the showing
1t deceived him as well as the stockholders
During the first year of operation of the
road Los Angeles was visited by disas-
trous floods which made operation finan-
cially disastrous. Still, he says, the citv
is rapidly growing and the franchise runs
fifty years. With little waiting there is
no reason why any stakeholder should lose
dollar.

The Silver Pool INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. The special com
mittee on the silver pool this morning ex.
amined Senators Stewart, Teller and VOL
colt. They denied all knowledge of a
pool.
E. N. Hill, lawyer, said one J. w.
Hedenberg, real estate man from Chi
cago, came to him last spring and talked
over the silver legislation ard showed what
he said were certificates for 900 ounces of
silver each, suggesting that the witness
could sell some on margin of $25 thou
sand ounces and would be paid one certi-
hcate Tor every four shares sold Wit
ness said he might sell some to business
friends, but Heidelberg interrupted him
with the statement that he wanted the GER
titicates sold to members of Congress.
Witness did not want to go into the thing.
He had no knowledge of any certificates
being offered to members of Congress-.
Witness had written some essays on BIZ
metalism which had appeared in the Con-
greSsiOnGl Record
Rlngley asked if they were delivered as
speeches., but witness laughingly answered
he did not know what was done with them.
James A. George, who said he ran pro-
vision store in this city, had heard CONVEX
Stations between Hill and Heidelberg.
Hedenberg had told him he had got a pool
organized that held 100000 ounces of sill
YER Heidelberg wanted witness to see the
southern members and said he did not want
free coinage but the House bill. Witness
told Heidelberg he was a free coinage man.
and If he knew OF Congressman going the
other way he would expose him. Heden-
berg, in reply to suggestion from witness
that he (Hedenberg), coming from Chicago.
ought to see the Illinois members, replied
that he would look after them and wanted
witness to see the southern members.
After the statement that witness was free
coinage man, however, Heidelberg lodged
him constantly.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-In the House this
morning, Rogers, of Arkansas, raised the
point no quorum, but the speaker counted
16S members and directed the reading of
the journal.
McMillin, of Tennessee, impeached the
ruling of the speaker yesterday, declaring
dilatory McMlllen's motion that the resolu-
ton reported by the rules committee be
recommitted. etc. Springer, Bland and
others supported him.
Speaker Reed said the debate while nom
inally upon the approval of the Journal
really had been upon the propriety of GER
tain rulings. He really did not think the
chickering's of the past few days added 20
the dignity of the House. The business of
legislative body was to legislate and not
permit its legislation to be wantonly inter
rupted. After further debate, the journal
was approved by rising vote.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was passed and the House went into
committee of the whole on the naval ap-
preparation bill. Boutelle explained it.
The committee rose and the House ad-
iourned.

DUKE OF BEDFORD.
Suicide of the Meanest Man in
London.
He Was the Richest Land Owner in England
He Was More Cruel than the
Irish Landlords.
Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cable

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable
who suicided by shooting, was the richest
land owner in England, and Weather than
the Astor family. He owned the entire
Bloomsbury and Covent Garden districts
IN the heart of London, besides many thou
sand of acres in Bedfordshire He was
harsh and cruel 20 his tenants and never
did charitable deed. His rents in London
amounted to 100000.
The duke had been dead several hours
before the public were aware of it. The
coroner connived at hushing up the scan
dal, and but for a clever police court re-
porter, the fact that the duke took his own
life would never have been known. Within
i've hours after the corOner's jury had sat
upon the body it was roasting in the retort
OF the crematory, in accordance, it is said,
with the last wishes of the duke.
1t is. almost inhuman to say any mans
suicide is received with a feeling of public
satisfaction, but IN the Duke of Bedford's
case this is strictly true. With at least
half million of the people living in Lon
don there probably never was any landlord
more cordially hated by his tenants whom
he harrassed with an amount Of tyranny
not approached by any landlords in the
distressed districts of oppressed Ireland.
American travellers, who were driving in
haste from West End hotel to Euston sta
ton to catch the train for Liverpool after
nightfall, have always found themselves
blockaded by the barred iron gates of
Bloomsbury district and have had to thank
the Duke of Bedford for missing their
steamers for America.
To-day's papers contain an account of
once prosperous tradesman who was driven
by poverty to resist the Duke of Bedford's
evicting agents. He was sentenced to
prison and released only last week, a
maudling idiot. He had, however, sufficient
memory of his wrongs to attract crowd at
the railway station while the dukes hand
full OF ashes were being put on the train for
transportation to the ancestral vault by
shauting There goes the duke he has paid
the penalty and l am avenged"
This poor man was promptly locked up
again for disturbing the public peace
Hundreds of such instances of the dukes
tyranny could be cited while he lived
They attracted no attention when he died
To-day the British newspapers printed
columns about his wealth and his wit,
though they purposely ignored his wicked
ness Now that he has been revealed to be
suicide they seek to screen his disgrace.
