POLITICAL OPINION.

The republicans have begun to
hunt for farmers to put at the head of
their state tickets Making a farmer
governor of a state, however, does not
remove the national burdens OF agri-
culture. COurier-J OurnaL
commissions Raum makes the
announcement that he is going to hurry
through and dump $50, 600 original cases
upon the various pension agencie of the
country before the year is out Away
with the surplus!-Kansas City Star.
"A soldier who died at Vicksburg
in 1868 has been drawing a pension of
sixteen dollars a month ever since, with
81, 600 as back pension. When the dis
cOvery was made a pension official said
that it was "a mighty curious case. -
\. Y. Sun.
1t is a sign of returning reason
that republicans have stopped worship
ing the tin calf of McKinleyism and
are looking to the big southern cotton
crop and the western wheat fields to
pull the country through the year
Albany Argus.
The republican party is queer
aggregation of persons anyway. They
love GARRISON for the heads he has cut
off. They love Corporal Tanner for the
feet he had cut OFF. And they fairly
adore Me Kinley for the markets he has
cut of. The only cutting they disap-
prove OF IL cutting down Ga&aLlOn.-
Chicago Times.
II never speak disparagingIy of
the democratic party" Mr.. Ingalls, is
reported as saying in his last interview.
This is another satisfactory indication
that Mr.. Ingalls, has learned something
since the day when he declared IN Pitts
burEh that the worst republican was
better than the best democrat.-Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
Senator HOar has been enIighten
ing the world as to the issues of the next
national campaign. Among these he
enumerates Increased exchanges with
foreign nations taking from them all
that we cannot produce, keeping our
own market for ourselves, and occupy
ing foreign markets with the things
we can produce" The picture is a very
pretty one, but the senator fails TO ex-
plain how there can be an Increased
exchange with foreign nations as Ions.
as the avOwed policy of the dominant
party in American legislation is to
more and more effectuaIly shut out for
eign products from our marlzets.-Chi-

have more than doubled during the
past decade The expenditures On this
account for the past year reached the
alarming figure OF S124, 400 OO0- Ten
years ago, the pension appropriations
amounted to $50. coo, OOG, and vet 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 a corrupt pension
bureau what they had failed to gain
previously The OutgO OF the peoples
money for pensions has now reached
such a frightful extent that a halt Is
imperatively demanded The revision
of the pension lists is absolutely neces-
sary, for it is a notorious fact that on
those lists are thousands of names
which have no right TO be there.
The system, originally conceived IN
the best patriotic spirit, and intended
to exemplify the nations gratitude to
wards its defenders, has degenerated
into a convenient source of colossal
fortunes to the worst brood OF harpies
that ever afflicted a government The
pension Office has been so demOralized
under Tanner and Raum that it has be
come a by-wOrd of shame. One com
missioner, who boldly announced his
intention to bankrupt the treasury and
allow the thieving system of rebating
to go on unchecked, was obliged to re
tire from Office, only to join the brood
of Unsuitable sharks at the national
capital. His successor has not in
dulged in such foolish boasts, but he
has been even more effective in empty
ing the treasury and further demOraliz-
ing the Office. It may be that under
such a corrupt administration there
may be no revision OF the pension lists,
however strong the popular demand
may be for it. The only remedy left,
then, Will be a clean sweep of the pen
sion laws, until an honest administra-
ton is assured When a system has
been brought to such a pass as to be-
come the vehicle of unprecedented
frauds it should be suspended. The
president insists upon keeping a brand
ed official as the dispenser OF a large
proportion of the governments rev
enues- No reform is possible while
such a man remains in office. The
next congress should deal with this
matter in the most incorporating
nanner.-Albany Argus.
