Pensions and the Public Debt.

Green B. Reum, in North American Review.
At the close of the war, when the eoun-
try was staggering under great weight of
debt and taxation the men who controlled
the legislation of the country did not de-
cline to provide for the payment of the
public debt because it was large. Such
action would have been both cowardly and
dishonest. On the contrary, they faced
the great problem with courage and solved
il with wisdom and honor. They amended
the constitution of the United States. and
in amendment XIV, section 4, it is de-
lie debt OF the United States. authorized
by law. including debts for PAYMENT of
pensions and bounties for services in sup

The Horrible Russian Knout.


A knout is not merely lash or whip,
but an ingenious and refined instrument
of torture, consisting of very long and
narrow strip of leather with thin edges.
This leather is first boiled and soaked in
a preparation of iron in order to make it
hard and heavy. Before allowing it to
harden, however, the thin edges are
doubled over along the whole length of
the knout, and in such a manner as to
make them very sharp. so that the knout
on its concave side is like two long, flexible
knives. The knout falls Ton its concaye
sidel on the naked back of the victim. and
the sharp borders cut into the flesh like
knives. Should the executioner perform
his task conscientiously,t the victim usually
swoons away after the third stroke, and
often dies under the fifth. Peter the Great
fixed by an ''uk ase" the maximum num-
Der of strokes at l0i, and when that num-
Der was really inflicted it was usually
upon dead body, since it is next to i'm
possible for human being to survive
more than twenty honest strokes of the
knout. Therefore it is very rare for the
regulation number of strokes to be in
hicted, unless with intent to kill.

The Real Aim of tho silver Men.
Edward Atkinson in the October Forum


The purpose of this treatise is to present
this case in such way that it may become
apparent to any person of common intel
hgence that mere free coinage is not the
true object of those who advocate the un-
limited coinage of silver dollars at the
present time without any change in the
present acts of legal tender. There are
two classes of parties now engaged in this
effort First, the owners of silver mines
and their advocates, both in con-
gress and without, who desire to sell sill
yer bullion TO the government at 20 to
80 per cent. more than it is worth, taxing
the people of this country for their own
proht without any regard for any other in
terest than their own. Second, the mis-
guided persons who think it may be more
profitable, especially to the farming COM
mnnity, To deprive them of any further
credit by enabling them to pay their pres
emit debts in cheap money, or. in other
words, in deprecated coin. With these
misguided persons may be counted the
politicians who mislead them in order to
secure their votes by advocating measures
which they know TO be wrong.
