who Was defeated for Congress in the
Fourth district by Mr.. Epes, is more
talked about for the third party nominal
ton for Governor next year than any other
person. Col. Gocde, it is stated, looks with
favor upon the scheme.
The Wilson Investigation into the condi-
tion and prospects Of the treasury has been
entrusted to a subcommittee. The scope
Of the inquiry will be pretty broad, having
for its object to develop tie facts and show
who is responsible for them.
A poll of the new congress, printed in the
New Y DIRK Press few days ago, presented
replies from 1853 democratic members who
are in favor of the revision of the present
tariff law and the repeal of the Bullion
Purchase act.
State Senator Brown of New York, says
MI. Cleveland is opposed to the election Of
Edward Murphy to the Senate.
The Indiana Supreme Court has decided
unconstitutional the 'gerrymander" act
passed by the Democratic legislature.

Cleveland and Pensions.

AN EARLY REVISION OF THE LIST, IT Is SAID,
WILL BE RECOMMENDED.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald says President Cleveland has some
strong views on the pension question, The
Senators and Representatives who have dur
ing the last few weeks made trips to New
York for the purpose of consulting Mr.. CIeve
land Oh his prospective policy are undoabt-
eddy responsible for an early disclosure of his
views. The PreSdent-elect SO the story goes
believes that revision of the pension list
should be made in Justice to the general pop
ulation and to those veterans deserving pen-
sions.
MI. Cleveland is convinced, it is said that
many hundreds of names now on the rolls
should be stricken off. He thinks that the
half million dollars day pensioners are now
receiving are not being used to the best adj
vantage OF according to the spirit of the orig
inal pension law. Legislative fnanciers of
the Democracy from the North and the South
have frequently expressed the fear in the
Herald that if the present rate of increase in
pension disbursements is continued the time
will shortly come when the sum of 81 900, 900
day Will be drained from Uncle Sans mon
eV barrel. Secretary Foster himself is on re-
cord as saying that in a very few years the
annual pension expenditures of this country
will reach the sum of $3.50, 900, 900.
The prospective deficiency in the Treasury
is said to be due in a large measure to the
enormous pension disbursements, which, il
continued and increased at the present rate,
will soon absorb the greater part of the ma
tion's revenue, while the executive and legis-
lative branches of the Government will be in
urgent need of sufficient funds to carry on the
necessary business. 1t is predicted that MI.
Cleveland in his first message will recon-
mend revision of the pension roll to such
an extent that it will be a roll of honor, and
only those will be found upon it who were
wounded during the war OF who have been
disabled since. It is estimated that one-half
of the names on the list are those Of unworthy
pensioners.

Suspension of immigration.
THE STEP DEEMED NECESSARY TO CHECK CLIO

THE STEP DEEMED NECESSARY TO CHECK CHoL-
ERA NEXT YEAR.
The Treasury Department, including Super
intendent OF Immigration Owen, is not dis
posed to accept the suggestions Of the steam
ship companies who appeared before the joint
immigration Committee recently. Treasury
officials do not think any system of supervis-
ion and quarantine at the port of departure
is practicable. The Treasury Department
desires that the Chandler bill suspendng i'm
migration shall become law.
The Superintendent of immigration will
recommend to the Secretary, in view of the
fear that cholera may return, a restriction of
immigration from March /. 1893 He will
join the Supervising Surgeon General of the
Marine Hospital Service in his recommended
ton that the term OF suspended immigration
be one year, although Superintendent Owen
thinks perhaps half that length of time will
serve the purpose.
THE CHANCES OF DISEASE ARE GREAT.
Superintendent Owen said; IL consider
that the immigrant has been great help to
this county, and l do not want to see immi-
grafton prohibited, as some Of our people do
at the present time, but the probable reap
pearance Of cholera next summer makes nee
essary restrictive measures SO far as the immi-
grant is concerned. The interests are too great
this year for us to take any chances. We
have the Columbian Exposition to look after,
and the success of this affair depends great
deal upon the hygienic condition of the coun-
try. The amount of travel in this country
and to this country next year will depend
largely upon the assurances the Government
is able to give of protection against contagion
for visitors and voyagers."
Mr.. Owen has some very kind things to say
of the steamship companies, who have strictly
adhered to the Government regulations i'm
posed for the protection of the health of the
country. He thinks they would not object if
the term of restrictive immigration were made
six months, which would cover the period Of
the Worlds Fair. He added: 1.-THE safe course
situation, is absolute exclusion during the
time of the Columbian Exposition
PROSPECTS OF THE CHANDLER BILL.
II the Chandler bill becomes law, and
there is general feeling that it will as to the
time limit, it will probably have proviso
that immigrants may come to this country
under certain conditions. 1t is proposed, in
fact, to secure some provision under which
relatives of foreigners already in the United
States may be admitted during the period of
restricted immigration.
just how far this provision will go has not
been decided, but it would probably include,
for instance, the parents of children already
here OF the children of parents in this country,
and it might go further and embrace the
brothers and sisters of foreigners who have
been in the country for a certain period.
''Then you will see,' loosely remarked a
Treasury Department official, "what an
immense crop of deserted fathers and tarrying
mothers will develop all over Europe

THAT DECISION.

The Virginia Court of Appeals in the
case Of Norfolk VS.. Chamberlain declares
that municipalities have no right to assess
AUDITING property owners for street i'm
provements. This decision is far reach
ing in its results and will affect the inter
ests Of many hundreds Of people through
ont the State. In legal circles it has been
the chief topic Of conversation. Many of
the best informed lawyers claim that
the court has not only abrogated the long
standing doctrine on this question, but has
distinctly reversed its own decisions.
Strong efforts will be made to obtain a re-
hearing Of the case and pending the motion
for such action all public work affected by
the decision will be suspended. Cities and
towns may continue street improvements
but it would seem this must be at their
own risk, since under the present decision
they can not force AUDITING property own
ers to pay special assessments. The ques-
tion now discussed is, can those who have
paid recover.

a week ago who is supposed to be the largest
woman in the world. Though so young, she
already measures seven feet and ten inches in

of her gaining another foot. She was born in
the south of France, and is on her way to
Chicago to De ON exhibition. Her hands are
twelve inches long by six broad, and her feet
by actual measurement. are sixteen inches in
length. 1t is said that her parents were

1t is stated that Mr.. Cleveland favors an
extra session of Congress, says the Balti-

it will be very short. He would like to see
the House organized and committees ap-
pointed next spring OF in the early fall, SO
that members may buckle down to work Oh
the tariff in December as soon as the regu-
lar session begins. The tariff bill could be
framed next summer by a committee at
some mountain resort, away from Wash
ington and its lobby Of self seeking protec-
ted interests. The appropriations commit
tee and the committee on banking and cur
rency could advance their task in the same
way. But aprolonged session at Wash
ington. lasting all summer, is not desired
Can anybody give assurances that, if as
sembled in March, Congress will adjourn
i'll April? If SO, an extra session is not
improbable.
