The Pension Bureau.

The New York Herald, which has
given special attention to the policy
and management of the Pension
Bureau, estimates the annual cost at
present Of fraudulent pensioners at
$4O,0O0,0OO. The pension list has
ceased, in fact, to inspire confidence,
since 30 much rottenness has been
found IN the Pension Bureau under
Tanner and Raum. Pension reform,
according to the Boston Herald, is an
approaching issue. aft is not YET" it
say 8, "very prominently IN tho news
papers; still less is it in the party
platforms. But it will soon be
crystalized sufficiently to light up
both. BY that tune its influence will
be irresistible" These are useful
words of warning to the true friends
Of the disabled veterans. BY the ex-
clusion Ut the unworthy the worthy
will be kept on the list. Otherwise,
in the Herald's opinion, the whole
may he swept away by the rising dis
gust on the part of overburdened tax
payers. Our surplus revenue has
gone whore the woodbine twineth.
A deficit has met us. If the increased
demands for pensiona call for in
creased taxes, would the people stand
itP Aye, there's the rub.

LOTTERY VICTORIOUS.
The Supreme Court of Louisian
Decides the Famous Case.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana
Decides the Famous Case.
New ORLEANS, La. April 27.-The
state supreme court has finally rem
dered decision in the famous lottery
case i'll favor of the lottery against
which there is 10 appeal. The case was
first presented to the court nearly two
months ago, and the decision is partici-
pated by the whole court of five JUS
tees, Associate Justice BreauX taking
part on the briefs submitted. He was
Ill when the case was argued by coun-
sci. The decision is of tranScendent
Importance to people of Louisiana. as it
involved their right to vote upon con-
Stituti0nal amendment providing for
annual increase to the revenues of the
state of million and a quarter dollars
as a result of the opinion rendered to-
day. Louisiana will witness one of the
most exciting political fights ever waged
in the state between factions of the
takes place next April. The lottery
made its fight for charter in the last
legislature, and the amendment pro-
posed was lengthy one and drawn by
astute factors. The vigorous fight on
the amendment is well remembered.
The lottery won in both houses by the
required twO-thirdS vote and the bill
was sent to the governor, although it
was held his signature was not neces-
Sary to the proposal OF a constitutional
amendment submitted by a two-thirdS
vote in each branch of the legislature
The governor vetoed the amendment
and the house disregarded the veto.
Before like action in the senate could
be taken senator who had voted for
the lottery amendment died, whereupon
the house receded from its action. The
secretary of state refused to pro-
mulgate the amendment because
the governors signature was miss
ing. Thereupon the lottery made
application for mandamus. 1t was re-
fused, and an appeal was taken to the
supreme court. The counsel opposed
to the lottery argued that the governor S
signature was necessary; that the
amendment had not been legally passed {;
that it had not been read the required
number of times III both houses; that it
had not been properly spread upon the
minutes, and that the amendment was
illegally drafted. The decision has
caused considerable excitement. The
court stood to 2. The court room was
crowded with lawyers and the friends
of both sides of the lottery question.
Associate Justice Watkins was the or
gan of the court, and his opinion con-
sumed more than an hour and half in
the reading. Chief Justice Bermundez
and Associate Justice McEnery concur.
and Justices Fenner and Breaux dis
sent. The court holds that the amend
ment was properly drawn and properly
passed, and that the governors sigma
ture or veto could not affect the amend
ment. The lottery proposition, there
fore, will be promulgated and voted on
by the people in 1892.

THE TIN TAX.

A sheet of tin plate manufactured
from American metal and by American
workmen was held aoft at the recent
convention of Republican clubs at Gin
cinnati and was received with deafen-
ing cheers by the assembled Sir Gaia
hads.a if the Holy Grail had at last been
found. Ever since this soul-inSpiring
ceremony the Minneapolis Tribune has
worn a seraphic smile OF triumph and
celebrated the miraculous power of the
MCKINLEY bill.
There is one corporation in the city of
st. Paul which made $4,000, according
to its own statement, out of the in-
creased duty on tin imposed by the tar
if legislation of the last congress. To
it alone this great profit accrued, be-
cause it had a stock of tin OH hand, i'm
ported under the old schedule, the in
trinSic value of which was multiplied
in this way by the Republican pro-
gramme of developing the native mines.
Every poor man in this community who
has had to purchase pail or a plate
since the MCKINLEY bill was enacted
has had to contribute to this $4,000.
Ii this is true of one corporation in
st. Paul, it is also true of every other
concern in the country which had a
stock of tin plate on hand when our
tariff reformers began their effective
work. And not in st. Paul alone, but
in every section of our land, every indi-
vidual who has bought tin utensil
since that time has paid more for what

FITzSIMMONs AND HALL.
They Appear at an Exhibition in
Chicago

CHICAGO, April 27.-Before a crowd
of 5000 bowling and yelling spectators
in Battery d tonight Bob FitzsimmonS
exhibited his prowess by knocking out
Abe Cougle, the local heavy weight.
After exhibitions by local talent, Jim
Hall and Billy Woods, the Colorado
heavyweight, appeared in two
round contest. Hall showed himself
TO be a very clever man. He
delivers the cleanest kind of blows aud
is very quick, using either arm at will
both in striking and at guard, and, in
fact, demonstrated himself a graceful
master of ring tactics. FitzSimmons
and Cougle appeared next. Cougle
started in with a Will, and planted a
right-hander on sore on Bob'S mouth,
and the latter went to his corner bleed
ing profuselY. The crowd jeered FitZ-
simmons, who lost his temper, and
began the second round by rush
ing COugle, striking him heav-
lily on the jaw with his left
and moment later repeating
the tap on the other jaw sending Cou-
gle reeling across the ring and down in
corner. He came up partially dazed,
and FitZsimmOns Showered six short
punches on Cougle's jaws and neck. land
the latter collapsed in heap. Lieut..
Ross and a squad of police climbed
over the ropes, but time was up
before Cougle could arise. Fitzsim-
mons and Billy Woods wound up the
entertainment with three-round con-
test, the final bout being very lively.
The crowd was greatly disappointed over
Halls failure to appear the second time,
as no opportunity was given to make
comparisons between the two men from
the antipodes. Fitzsimmons demon
strated his ability in all directions,
while all the experts could make out of
Halls appearance was that he was a
very clever and scientific fighter.

Beauties OF san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-President
and Mrs. Harrison and party. accom-
panied by Mayor Sanderson and the
members of the reception committee,
left the Palace hotel this morning in
carriages, for a drive to Golden Gate
park. 1t had also been arranged that
review of school children should
take place on Van Ness avenue,
and, as the day was bright and clear,
they gathered n large numbers, many
bearing flowers or small American
flags. Some time was spent by the
president III reviewing the long lines of
children, but the carriages were event
ually turned i'll the direction of Golden
Gate Park. Post master General Wana-
maker left the party at Van Ness ave
nue., and returned to inspect the postOf-
fee and the proposed sites for the
new building. AT the Park, which
was well-flled with people, many of
whom had come from towns across the
bay. The president was received with
cheers and waving handkerchiefS, to
which he replied by bowling. a stop
was made at the conservatory where
the commissioners pointed out to Mrs.
Harrison and other interested visitors
the most noteworthy features
Other points of interest in the
park were visited, after which
the presidential party proceeded
to residence of AdOlph Sutro, at Sutro
Heights, overlooking the Pacific ocean,
where they had lunch. After lunch at
Sutro Heights this afternoon the prest-
Dental party drove TO the military reSer-
walton at PeoSidO, where a great crowd
OF people were in attendance. The
president reviewed the troops sta
toned at the post and witnessed
the artillery and cavalry drill.
The party then returned to
the hotel for dinner, and this evening
there was a reception at the Palace
hotel. The president and Mrs. Harrison
received the representatives Of the army
and navy first, and then large number
of invited guests. Several bands of
music were in attendance during the
reception. The president and party
will make tour of the bay tomorrow,
and in the afternoon will attend the
launching of the armored coast de-
fense vessel, Monterey.
CINCINNATI, April 27.-Dr. Hughes,

clan of President Harrison's sister. Mrs.

she was out of danger. Rev. B. w.

lowing statement this evening: Mrs.
Easton'S case was yesterday considered
critical. She bled profusely and
severe internal injuries were feared.
This afternoon her symptoms are all
favorable, and she is resting comfort
ably. There has been a concusSion of
the brain, but as yet nothing to excite
alarm so far as is known. Miss Annie

WILL BE THE ISSUE.

Since the publication of the letter by
Mr.. CLEVELAND on the silver question,
some time since, it has been assumed in
certain quarters that he had become un-
available for the presidential candidate
next year Oh account of the feeling in
the South and the West on the coinage
question. 1t is not a matter of high
concern as to the effect upon the fort
uneS of Mr. CLEVELAND, or any other
man, how the issues are shaped. Indi-
ylduals, however distinguished, are of
comparatively small moment in the
crucible cf national veal. Whatever
the fortunes of Mr.. CLEVELAND, it is
becoming a plausible view that he will
have done good work for the party in
aiding to subordinate a minor and
diStracting question to the great
issue upon which there is en-
tire unaninity. The sentiment of
the party is already clustering about
taIiff reform as the guiding star for the
party until the oppressive burdens i'm
posed by the party in power are light
ened. As one of the straws that point
TO this conclusion, a Richmond paper
has been gathering the opinions of the
representative farmers of Virginia. The
form of the inquiry was, whether the
more important issue for 1892 is tariff
reform or free coinage of silver? Out
OF l72 replies in forty counties. but So
favored the silver issue; those in doubt
numbered II, and 122 were emphatically
for tariff reform as the first and main
issue. Mr.. CLEVELAND was the favor
ite with much larger portion than
voted for tariff reform as the
chief issue. Expressions of a sim
liar character are had from Mis-
souri,, Georgia and other South
ern states. Senator VANCE and others,
who have inferred that the South and
Southwest would not accept a candidate
not of pronounced silvery tones, have
generalized from limited investigation.
The Democrats are not possessed of the
faulty that dlssensions over a sec
ondary matter will subserve their IN
terests. No other object. however
worthy, can be allowed to disturb the
harmony that tariff reduction has es-
tablished. The strength of Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND lies in the fact that he is, to an
exceptional degree. the embodiment of
that policy. No man can be put in the
lead who has record that needs eX-
planation and puttying On this question.
