About two months ago o. F.. An
derson, lessee of the Pennsylvania
hotel at Moran, started i'm one-horsc
road cart for the Indian Territory sx-
pecting to be gone only a few DAYS.
He has not returned, nor has any,
thing been heard from him, and 1t is
feared that he may have been fully
dealt with. He was Il man of about
~, black hair, slender build, about 5
feet 10 inches tall. Southern KANSAS
and Indian Territory exchanges will
confer favor by copying this notice.
LATER: Since the above was writ.
ten we have visited Moran and find
the opinion quite prevalent that Mr..
Anderson has simply deserted his
family, leaving his wife to bear the
burden of numerous debts he had con-
tracted. Whether he has been foully
dealt with, or whether he has willfuI-
ly concealed his whereabouts we let
this item go in hope that it may bring
some news of him.

WHAT CONGRESS DID.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE. have seen In sew
eral of your papers that Congress did not make
any appropriation aid in entertaining the GA r.
National Encampment. Some of our comrades say
that you are mistaken, and that Congress did APP
500 900. What are tho fscts?-I. B. DAVIS. Nep-
tune, o.
The facts are that Congress did not give a
cent Of the National money to aid the Ma
tional Encampment. It was urged in vain
to do 80, but every request was met with
fiat refusal. The Senate passed bill to
appropriate 100000, one-half to be taken
from the Treasury and one.half from the
funds of the District Of Columbia, but the
House absolutely refused to concur in this
For long while it refused to permit the
District of Columbia to use it's own money
to entertain the Encampment, but at last
allowed bill to pass which appropriated
$4,000, all of which was to be taken out of
the funds of the District of Columbia. That
is, it merely let the taxpayers of Washing
ton use that much of their own money for
the purpose. In addition to this, the people
of Washington raised about $50, 900 by sub
scription, and this was all the money used
for the purpose e1S

MISSED Us AGAIN.

The time never has been, and probably
never will be, when some man with bad
bone-spavin in his brain has not been
prophesying the destruction of the world,
in the midst of delirium-tremens dream of
horrors. Now that we have safely passed a
date set for this crisis more than 400 years
ago, we may speak Of it without alarming
any nervous reader. Along in the middle of
the 18th century Leonardo Aretino, an
italian, who had gained great credit for
prophetic gifts, made prediction, based on
undoubted facts, that the world would be
destroyed in November, 1892, the horrible
work beginning On the 18th and lasting the
rest of the month, thus requiring Is days to
do what had been done in six. He made
out careful program of the exercises"
which were to be as follows:
Nov. 15-The sea will inundate the
shores.
Nov. 16--The water will put out the sun.
Nov. 17-Death of all the fishes in the
rivers.
Nov. 1s-Death of all marine animals
Nov. 19-Death of all the birds.
Nov. 20-Crushing in of all the build
ings
Nov. 21-Crushing Of all the rocks.
Nov. 22-General earthquakes.
Nov. 23-Sinking down of all the mount
aims.
Nov 24-All the men will become dumb.
NO mention of women.)
Nov. 25-All the graves will open.
Nov. 26-All the stars will go out.
Nov. 27-Death of all the men and all the
women.
Nov. 2s-Destruetion Of the heavens and
the earth by fire.
Nov. 29-General resurrection, and the
last judgment.
Up to the hour of going to press there has
not been the least indication of this extra
ordinary performance taking place.
Leonardo Aretino deserves credit, how
ever, for putting the catastrophe so far off
that his prophecy did not alarm anybody
then living. We recommend his example
to other gentlemen whose
Thoughts on awful subjects roll.
Damnation and the dead,
that they may not disturb the peace Of mind
of humorous old ladies' and men whose nerves
are like the aspen leaf.

INCOMES AT HOME AND ABROAD.

INCOMES AT HOME AND ABROAD. J
We have some statistics which afford an
excellent standard of comparison between
the prosperity of our people and those OF
Europe. Saxony is one of the thriftiest
countries in Europe. It's people are fairly
intelligent, tolerably we'll educated, and
quite industrious. The report of the Saxon
Bureau of Statistics for 1890 divides the
families of the ancient kingdom into four
classes In respect to income. These are
/. Income less than $500 per annum, &c. a3 per
cent
2. Income between $500 and ss25 per annum,
20.94 per cent.
g. Income between ss25 and s., 400 per annum.
pa per cent.
I. Income more than S., 400 per anum. .4s per
cent.
This shows that little over three fourths
of the families of Saxony live on 5000 a
year or less; one-ffth of the entire number
have between 5000 and 1926 year; about
one family in every As has an income rang
ing FROM 1926 to 81, 400, and only one family
in every 200 has as much as $4,000 year.
We have no such exact statistics in this
country; but it is safe to say that the aver
age family incomes in the United States
range from double to treble those OF
Saxony.
1t will not do to say that these people
live better upon their slender revenues than
ours upon theirs larger ones. This is i'm
possible, especially with the poorer ones.
The largest portion of family's expenses,
particularly of those belonging to the poorer
classes, must be for bread and meat. These
must be much higher in Saxony than in
America, or we could not afford to send our
breadstuffs, beef and pork thither, and sell
them at profit after paying the cost of
transportation that long distance. 1t is pos
sible that family which receives $1,000
year may live cheaper in saxony than
in America, for its bread and meat would
be only small proportion of its total ex-
pepses, and servant-hire would be much less
in Germany than the United States. But
the families which receive from 5000 to
1926 year cannot live nearly so cheaply,
for the reason that fully one-half Of their
income must go for food to sustain life, and
that food is much dearer in Germany than
here

PENSION FIGURES.

Commissioner of Pensions Raum has made
a very careful study of the pension situation
and submitted his findings and conclusions
in an official letter TO the Secretary of the
Interior. In this the Commissioner shows
the folly of the extrayagant statements
which appear in many papers as to the
amount which will be required for pensions
in the future. He says that the amount
needed for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1894, will be but S165, 100000, instead of
$500. 100000 as confidently asserted by
many papers. The deficiency for the pres
ent year-ending June so, 1S93-will only
be about S10,0O0000, instead of from $15,-
100000 to S36.00O,0o0, as claimed.
Gen. Raum says that the capacity OF
the Pension Bureau. when working at its
full speed, is $4,000 allowed cases per month,
or less than 1000 cases per day. Any in
for Inauguration, etc.-reduces this average.
Consequently there will not be so many
cases allowed per day from now until the
end of the present fiscal year as this average
during the past months. The allowances
from July 1 to Oct. aggregated ST., $685.
29375. At the same ratio for the rest of the
year the total allowances for the year
would aggregate S40,212, S91, which, added
to the amount required to pay the PEN
sioners on the rolls July /, 1892, S115,251,-
740, would make a total of $155, 464, 621.
The sum appropriated was $l44,956,o0O,
which would leave deficiency of $40 ,5OS,-
621.
With regard to the appropriation for the
fiscal year of 1894, Gen. Raum says:
If the work OF the Bureau is pushed II has
been during this Administration there Will be a
considerable deficiency, no doubt. but as my sue
cessor will have five months of the cost of the
work before him when Congress meets in Dccem-
Der, 1893. he will be able TO make estimate of
the of the work for the year very much better
than can be doae at this time. What we do now in
regard to the work must be based upon an
estimate o. the amount of work our SUCCESSORS
shall perform. With appropriation OF SIS, co.,
600 for the fiscal year they will experience no
embarrassment for money, as Congress will have
ample time to pass any deficiency bill required.
In private conversation Gen. Raum avows
his belief that the expenditures for the fiscal
year of 1894 will not exceed $40, 100000
because the work of reorganization which will
accompany the incoming of a new Admins
tration will necessarily reduce the high aver
age of daily and monthly allowances. What
ever may be the policy of the new Admin
istration, be regards it as simply impossible
that the pension expenditures should ever
reach S200,000,000 a year. There are now
7S0, 600 claims on fiie in the Pension Bureau,
OF which 100000 are original cases. and the
remainder applications for increase. Daring
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1892, the Bu-
reau allowed 224,000 original cases. If the
same ratio be kept up by the new Admins
tration the whole number of original cases
will be passed on inside of two years, and
either allowed OF rejected. This will make
high-water mark, and after that there will
be a rapid decline in the pension expendit-
ures

The discussion as to whether there shall
be an extra session goes on with increasing
warmth. The more conservative Democratic
papers and leaders are opposed to it for
business and political reasons. They believe
that the calling of an extra session immedi-
ately after the 4th of March would have
a very prejudicial effect upon the business
of the country. 1t certainly would have
very depressing effect upon buying
and selling, importing, and manufacturing,
because every body would bring his business
as near to standstill as possible, until he
could see what changes were going to be
made in the tariff act. The most radical
wing of the party-and especially the South
ern portion-think that the way to reform
the tariff is to go at it as soon and as vigor-
ously as possible, and they would have the
SD Congress assemble On the afternoon of
March 4, if that could be done.

The Salvation Army has just concluded
an enthusiastic and successful Continental
Convention in New York City, and the pros
poets of the organization are brighter than
at any time in its history. This is en-
couraging news. In spite of the ridicule
which has been heaped upon the Salvation
lists it is q most praiseworthy organization,
and has done and is doing vast amount of
good, which it would seem to be impossible
to accomplish in any other way.

TIE INTERNATIONAL SILVER CoSvEN-

THE INTERNATIONAL SILVER CONvEN-
TON.
The prospects of silver seem more hope
full to-day than at any time since the begin
ming of the consideration of holding an In
ternationaI Conference. For long time
it seemed hopeless that anything could be
accomplished Great Britain. Germany,
Russia and Austria took the attitude that
the whole thing was a scheme of the
Americans, who are the greatest silver
producers in the world, to boom the
value of their product, al the expense Of The
world. II appeared strange that Russia and
Austria should take this view, as their
finances are IN very bad condition, aud it
seemed likely that they would be favorably
inclined to a more general use of silver as
possible help to their resumption of specie
pay ments. Neither has gold enough to come
any where near redeeming their outstanding
paper currency, and there is no prospect Of
their ever having enough. Austria has not
had specie payments for nearly 100 years.
Now the situation has changed by an in
f1uence from a totally unexpected quarter
The British representatives. are said to look
on silver with much more favorable eye.
The reason of this is the condition Of things
in Hindustau. There are now about 300,-
100000 people in that important dependency
OF Great Britain, and those people are firmly
welded to silver as a medium of ex-
change. They are an intensely conserva-
tive people, who change not from century
TO century. They have not accommodated
themselves to the failing price of silver, and
if the work of demonetization is carried to
completion it VIII infict untold evils upon
| them OF course their ruin would be the
in India, and this, added to the other blows
which English business has sustained OF
recent years, wonld infiict incalculable in
jury upon the governing country. There
lore it seems necessary for England to do
som thing to prop up silver, and this
| is the basis Of the proposition which it is
understood that Baron Rothschild is about to
make to the Conference. He will, it is
stated, urge upon the Conference that the
UnlUed States shall continue to buy 81, 600,
0g0 worth of silver a month, and that the
other nations shall agree TO buy in the aggre-
gate S25O0O,00O worth OF silver year. This
will absorb the entire present product of the
mines OF the world, and do much to rehabili.
tate silver in the estimation of commercial
people.
IL the British personalities viii support
Baron Rotbschiid's proposition, it will have
the support OF those from the United States
SPAN, France, Italy, aud Portugal, and prob.
ably, also, OF Holland and Austria
