the country. GEN c. W. MohGAN'
Many of them are over eighty and very
few are under seventy years of age. The
youngest we know of is fifty, and he
entered the service as mere boy. There
are about IL, 900 survivors, all told, living
in the United States. They are dying at
the rate of /, 900 each year, so that they
will not deplete the treasury very much
with such a small pension. Many of
them are in the soldiers homes. The
only surviving general of the war, who
held such a command then, is General
George w. Morgan, of Mount Vernon,
who was famous in the civil war also,
and has been congressman and minister
to France. General J. w. Denver, for
whom Colorado's capital was named,
was a regular army officer in the Mex
lean war, but not a general until the
civil war. General Grant came out a
first lieutenant of regulars. At our
Chillicothe reunion we will have ad-
dresses by General Morgan, General
Denver, Cassius NJ. Clay, General Ian
ders, Major McFadden and others Of
eminence among the survivors"

Frances standstir Population.

France is not increasing in population
very rapidly. During the last five years
she has been practically at a standstill,
the population having increased only
one-half of per cent. since 1887. While
the great cities are growing the rural
districts are being drawn upon by them,
and in some cases to such an extent as
to interfere seriously with the supply of
farm labor in many sections.

WAKE UP, PITTsBURG.

Pittsburg's natural advantages have
hitherto enabled it to indulge in an
apathetic laissez-faire instead of abso-
lutely necessitatiug a lively energetic
pushing of its interests before the coun-
try. But these be days of keen competi-
ton, and the natural advantages must be
great indeed that enable their possessor
to take things as they come without losing
ground in the contest In the interview
with Colonel Roberts, published in THE
DISPATCH this morning, the eminent and
energetic engineer remarks: "West Vir-
ginia is certain to be developed. II Pitts
burg assists in the work it will share in
the benefits. If we stand aloof we may
create dangerous and hostile rival
The time has come for Pittsburg to
choose between increased activity with
progress or inactivity with that progress Of
others which involves its own retrogres-
sion. Pittsburg must march to livelier
tune; it must reliHquish the dawdle for
the quickstep. 1t must seek out others
and not be content to let others search for
it. Natural advantages must be made the
most of by artificial improvements Trans
portation facilities must be made to in
crease and multiply. This way lies su-
preme prosperity for Pittsburg, the other
way will mediocrity be found. And of
this new departure of public spirited and
cooperative effort, recognition of West
Virginia's importance to Pittsburg should
be among the first practical demonstra-
tions

WASTE AND JUSTICE.

There is a touch of unfairneSs in the
attempt of a certain class of Journals to
make capital against the agricultural IN
terest on account of assertions like Sir
Lyon Playfair's in a recent number of the
North american ReUGeso, that ''the agri-
culture of the United States is an indus
try magnificent in its extent; but it is prob
ably the most thriftless industry in exist
ence." On the strength of this assertion
the Philadelphia Inquirer proceeds to
assert that all the agricultural complaints
of uneven working of our laws, or unfair
effects of corporate operations, are simply
the grumbling of an interest which is suf-
fering from its own fault.
There is no doubt that waste is an
American fault, due to the extraordinary
plenty which has made this country what
1t is. The pointing out of such methods
of waste, with a view to their correction,
is a service either to the agricultural or
any other interest. But to use it as club
to whack farmers into silence when they
complain of corporate abuses is the cheap
est sort of evasion.
Thus, if the Pennsylvania farmer COM
cattle to New York as it does the Illinois
farmer, it is no answer to tell him that he
is wasteful. Whether man is wasteful
or not, he is entitled to equality in the
operation of the laws If the instrument
alities constituted by the law establish
practical inequality, the allegation Of
wastefulness is no justification of the in
justice.
We have no doubt that the agricultural
industry is not well organized for the
economical application of new improve
mentS, and it is in many sections carrying
too heavy burden of debt But we
doubt if it is the chief sinner in the mat
ter of wastefulness. Nothing in the agri-
cultural line equals the waste which the
railway magnates allege of themselves, in
throwing away the resources of their own
corporations in cut-throat wars without
either ryhme or reason,

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

The story of the three recently built
Canadian revenue cutters, as told by
Rlarmists, bids fair to rank with the trag-
edy of the three black crows. For reasons
best known to the narrators, dreadful
prophecies have been INDUCED in as to
what damage these three vessels-magnl-
fed into fully equipped ships of war
could do to American lake commerce and
lake cities in the event of an outbreak OF
war between this country and England.
There is not the least probability of an
outbreak of war between this and any
other country, for all others realize that
their staying powers must inevitably give
out before such infinite resources of men
and money as America can draw from.
Besides, it takes two to make quarrel,
and America is not in the quarreling bus
iness. 1t leaves that to such powers as
seek to thrive at one another's expense, or
such rulers as maintain their thrones by
armed forces ostensibly gathered to over
awe belligerent neighbors.
The telegram from Buffalo, which ap-
pears in THE DISPATCH this morning, in
dicates clearly to what an extent the i'm
portance of these revenue cutters has
been overestimated And there is not the
least reason to doubt that the War and
Navy Departments are sufficiently wide
awake TO the nations interests. Nor is
the State Department inclined to be mute
whenever treaty violations become mani
fest on the part of Others

OUR NAIL POUCH.
The Domestic Gas Supply.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The Philadelphia Company gave out dur
ing the summer assurances that any
domestic consumer contracting with them
might rely implicitly upon full supply OF
gas during the winter, as manufacturing es-
adjustments would be cut of If necessary
to meet domestic demands. Upon such
assurances those who had the fixtures in
let them remain and faced the increase in
price, while many put in gas fixtures and
paid their deposit to have gas turned on.
When John Doe or Richard Roe make con-
tract with a corporation or individual to
supply them with any article and 1ail to ful-
fill the provisions OF said contract the law
takes hold OF them and forces fulhllment OF
contract or payment of damages to cover
amount ofloss sustained by non-fulhllment.
Why should this corporation not be treated
as an individual by the people who. upon
approach comfort by reason of O short sup
ply of gas? How many become i'll, contract
colds resulting in pneumonia or consump-
tion therefrom? Who can say, and VINO
shall compute the damages3
That the shortage is q real shortage OF gas
for domestic use, but caused by greedy
attempt to supply manufacturing plants
also is clearly demonstrated by the fact that
on Sundays and holidays gas is abundant
where on week days only faint glimmer
can be coaXed to show. II some sufferers
would club together and bring suit for dam
ages any court would, in all probability,
award them. And perhaps few such suits
might convince the corporation that the
people have some rights beyond that OF
shivering and begging better supply.

TWO POINTS FOR EXPLANATION.

The New York Press, which has long
held the status of an organ of the Mica
ragua Canal job, gives the new bill on
that subject the expected Endorsement
1t asserts that the measure 'taffords ample
security to the Government for the risks
it is expected to take, and seems to be
drawn with ample skill and comprehen-
sivenesS."
In view of this unqualified voucher, it
is pertinent to inquire of the Press how
the Government is protected against this
risk. The promoters of the enterprise
contract with themselves as a construc-
ton company to do the work-estimated
by the company's engineer to cost $780,
o0O, O0o-at the price of 500, ,0O0, 900, and
having got the Government to in
dorse to the latter amount unload
the property on the confding and
paternal Government for the neat profit
of SS5, ,OOO, 900. We have requested explana-
tions of this important point several times
before without eliciting response. Since
the. organs are giving clean bill of health
to the amended bill, let us hope that they
will now produce an explanation. An
other risk which comes within the range
of possibility might also bea fit subject for
explanation. 1t is that after the Govern
ment had got the canal for s35, ,OOO, 900 more
than it is worth, at the first outbreak of
war some stronger naval power might
send fleet and take possession of it.
When the esteemed Press explains how
the bill provides against these risks it will
render decided service to that measure.

Making the Orphans Happy.

A PRETTIER Christmas sight than the 400
little children marching to the music of a
brass band into the large hall o. the Tame
hill Street Orphan Asylum, and taking their
seats to receive their Christmas presents
was not to be found in Pit5sDurg yesterday.
The children runged in age from to ABOUT
IA years of age. The girls were oil in white
aprons which fluttered like snow clouds as
they climbed into their seats, demure but
expectant, and the boys were resplendent
in their holiday neckties and best clothes.
The CLEAN of joy that sprang into their eyes
as they saw the toys and candies brought
for them was touching as well as pleasant
and it would have been q good thing for
people who have too much in this world,
and seek for a new sensation, to see what
happiness could be brought to these poor
to whom fortune has given the power.
