PENSION APPROPRIATIONS.

The senate has added nearly twelve
million dollars to the appropriation for
pensions as it came from the house.
This brings the appropriation for that
purpose for the coming year up to
s146, ,737 $500 This is by far the great
est pension list that was ever carried by
any country in the history of the world.
1t is about 100000, 900 more than the
entire cost of the immenae standing
army of Germany, or that OF France,
both of which countries may be said to
maintain their armies on aconstant
war footing. No one objects to the
liberal recognition by the country Of
the soldiers who fought it's battles
and who are in need OF help.
But there is general feeling
that the pension list is increasing at q
rate that is not warranted either by the
needs of the great mass of the surviving
veterans, or by the capacity Of the coun-
try to raise revenue to meet it. But
over and beyond these considerations is
the fact that the country has been
shocked by the scandalous disclosures
of the loose and corrupt methods OF the
pension bureau, and realizes that for
every dollar that reaches the deserving
soldier three are caught on the way by
the. pension sharks who have the ear of
the bureau, or who divide with those
who have "pull" with the pension
officials. If the list is to keep on in
creasing at the enormous rate it has in
creased the past three years, the deserv-
ing soldiers themselves will be the ones
who will first bear the brunt of the reac-
ton that is sure to follow the loose,
lavish and corrupt way in which the
pension laws are being administered.
When the country has stood the strain
of the pension abuse to the utmost
limit, and reform of the bounty of the
government is irresistibly demanded,
the poor fellows who only receive a
small enough stipend as it is, a.e the
very ones who will be forced to stand the
cut-not those who are receiving the
lions share OF the immense appropria-
tions. In order to keep the public ex-
penditures within bounds, the appro-
priations for harbors and rivers, for tho
defense of the coasts, for the erec-
tion of public buildings, and for
all but the fixed disbursements of the
government, have to be scaled down far
below that which is demanded by the
exigencies of the country. The surplus
has long since been "blown in" by the
Republicans, and the limit of revenue
under our present system has been
reached. The income from customs
duties is decreasing and the deficiency
which is staring us in the face will have
to be met by direct tax. When that
is imposed there will be kicking and
squirming, and loud protestations from
all sorts of people.

Why is it that the fire department can
not be restrained from offensive parti san-
ship. 1t is go in San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and in this city. The whole peo-
pie of this city, not political portion of
it. pay for the support of the fire depart
ment. All the property-horses, en-
ginea, supply wagons, etc.-belong to
the city, not to any political party.
The chief and his aids may be excused
for exhibiting bad taste and lack of
good sense in getting up politicaldem
,onstrations, but they ought to be broke
when they use the city property in their
charge to help out political professions.
This was done Saturday night, and the
outrage will be duly whitewashed and
condoned by Republican council.

TIE special correspondent at Wash
ington of the New York World, says !:
"Very grave doubts are expressed here
whether it is advisable to nominate Mr..
Cleveland, whoever is the opposing can
didate. These doubts are not alone ex-
pressed by those who may be assumed
to be personally hostile to Mr.. Cleve-
land. They are expressed as well by
his very warm friends and the EXTREMIST
supporters of his policy" These grave
doubts are expressed all over the coun-
try by both those who like Mr.. Cleve-
land and those who are cold to-
wards him. The Chicago convention
will certainly canvass the chances of Mr..
Cleveland's election very closely before
it seriously entertains the proposition
to nominate him. The idea is not to be
entertained for moment that the con-
vention will nominate man whom IT

SHIPMENT OF GREEN FRUIT.

The railroads have conceded to the
fruit interests of this state transporta-
tion on fast freight trains that will
reach Chicago in five days. That is
within few hours of the speed made
by the express passenger trains. By
this arrangement Chicago and inter-
mediate points can be supplied with our
fruits in fine fresh condition. But be-
yond Chicago there was no close con-
nection arranged for, and very import
ant market was therefore left to get its
California fruit at second hand from the
Lake city.
Mr.. L. W. Buck has just perfected ar
rangements with the Erie and other
companies by which the fruit trains
sent on from this state to Chicago under
the above agreement shall be taken ON,
less the cars left at Chicago, to New
York by fast express. By this arrange
ment, fruit cars started from this state
will be landed on the Atlantic shore in
elk days and four hours. This is great
advantage gained over last years trans.
pOTldLlOu ldCllltlc5 W CdStcIA pOlutbS oAu
it will enable our fruit growers to sup
ply the markets of the northwest and of
the Atlantic states with their choicest
fruits in fine condition.
We are gradually reaching the point
at which California fruits will have SO
extensive market to supply that we
need have no hesitation about increas-
ing the number of our orchards. There
is hardly any limit to be placed upon
the possibilities of fruit production in
this state. Indeed the limit heretofore
has been in the difficulty to get it to
market on a paying basis. Now that
we have overcome the transportation
difficulty, and the railroads show a
friendly interest in furnishing us with
facilities to get our fruits to eastern
markets in quick time and in good con-
dition, an impetus will be given to fruit
tree planting that will make itself felt
in greatly increased demand for fruit
lands

NOTWITHSTANDING the Republicans
had the assistance Of the fire depart
ment in whooping-up Harrison's NOM
ination on Saturday evening, the affair
was sad fzzle. Councilman Innes's
inquiry about the matter yesterday
should be followed up and the facts
made plain. If it is established that
officers of the department used the
horses and subordinate members of the
force in the sorry farce of Saturday, they
and their assistants should be relegated
to private life. The Union league by
permitting its members who are in Office
to become incident in their abuse OF the
peoples property, are but Fastening
their downfall.

SENATOR VOORHEES, of Indiana is

He says that he does not believe that
Cleveland can carry Indiana, and be.

state of New York are much less than
those of several men who would be

Messrs. Editors The annual Sunday
School Christmas entertainment ut Mount
Zion M. E. Church was held on the Goth
ultimo. Despite the Indictment day large
crowd was present. The programme, con-
sisting of recitations, interspersed with in
strumental and vocal music, was well rem
dered. Then the huge Christmas tree was
despoilcd of its burden of candies for the
pupils and presents for them and their
friends. II was very enjoyable.
The grip seems to be an epidemic in our
midsl. In many cases whole families are
sick. The doctors are kept busy and the
wish for the cooler weather, which has
come at last, was very general.
Our village is steadily building up, and
should the promise ofa railroad be fulfilled,
would rapidly advance. Three stores and
a steam saw and grist mill are now here,
and all seem to be doing good business.
There seems to be general demand that
a capable and energetic physician should
locate in this section. The great amount
of sickness Of late has greatly intensified
this demand. OCCASIONAL.

Seldom have our people heard news
which filed them with more regret than
that Of the death Of William J. Edelen'
Mr.. Edeleu was native Of our old coun-
ty and spent his youth and early manhood
in her limits. He had endeared himself 10
our people by his manly and upright
character and when he left 10 seek his for
tude elsewhere, the good wishes Of every
one followed him.
At the beginning Of the late war, his
sympathies were enlisted with the South
and he left his home 20 throw his fortunes
with that OF the doomed cause His ac-
tons during that terrible struggle were in
keeping with the man. A drawer soldier,
it is said, did not surrender At AppOmatox.
He belonged to Company A, Second Mary
land Regiment, commanded by Capt. Muir
ray, and surrendered with this company
when it had been reduced TO the small
number Of fourteen. The war over and
the tri-co!or which he had so bravely fol-
lowed being furled forever, he accepted the
result in its fullest meaning but always
turned in pride to the life he led there and
the dangers through which he passed in
battling for what he thought was the right
After the war he returned TO his native
county and engaged in the mercantile
business in Leonardtown, with his brother,
Philip +. Edelen. Later he went 10 Balti-
more and entered the firm Of Dudley &
Carpenter. a few years later, he opened
the commission house Of Edelen Bros, with
his brother, Albert Edeien, and continued
in this business until his death. His bust
ness matters were always conducted with
the strictest integrity and punctuality and
he had achieved an enviable reputation In
this respect Those who knew him and
had dealings with him had always the
highest regard for his honesty. But
in the sweeter uses of this life, in the
bosom of his family, in friendship and in
all that brings out the enobliDg traits of
man was he best beloved by those who
knew him. Nosweeter home life than his
could be no more faithful friend than he
could be and in all that which tends TO
the sweet amenities of our nature found
in him a lodgment and great appreciation.
What words of ours can take from the af-
Fiction of those who loved him more than
all what balm can soothe their blighted
hearts except the sweet consolation of that
Faith that came to him again when God
was calling him! On that shore where
partings will be no more they can meet
him, because he passed through all his
years Wearing the white flower of a blame

Messrs. Editors The fight for the To-

1t is not my intention to detract, in the
least, from any Of these worthy gentlemen,
but TO call the special attention of the read
ers of the BEACON to the merits and quail
fications of one man among them whose
service in the democratic party certainly
renders him deserving of recognition. Ial-
ludeto Capt J. T. II. Raley, the old Gray
Fox Of Briery Branch. whose management
and generalship, in many hard fought bat
ties, have more than once turned the scales
in favor of his party's success, and now that
his hair and beard are gray with the frost

Not only is he deserving on account Of
his record as democrat, but, also, becan Sc
by reason of his former experience and his
