A HALT ON PENSIONS.

The present Congress should pass
no now pension bills, either general
or special.
The existing laws nie liberal pnst
the verge of pTodIgnlity. They cover
every proper case nud hundreds OF
thousands that arc improper.
/; tho pension laws could DO revised
so Gs TO include only tho old soldiers
who mood the bounty Of tao Govern
meat and deserve it. these Veterans
could have their pensions doubled
and yot tho cost Of the list be reduced
one-third. The nation ought to give,
and would cheerfully give, n generous
support TO overy crippled, invalid and
po.r defender OF tho Union, instead OF
the pittance which many classes Of
them nov receive. 1t is tho whole
sale voting Of pensions 10 men who
are neither crippled, sick nor poor
that prevents justice being done to
the deserving.
The movement OF an organized body
ct patriotic veterans to weed ont from
the list every name that docs not Of
right belong thero should DO cncour-
RRed by all who would SEQ the pension
list pgain n roll OF honor.
There aIo nov ALMOST 1G0,CC0 names
on the pension list. This is double
the whole number Of Union soldiers
who were killed, wounded or died Of
d:sease during the war. 1t exceeds
the combined Standing armies OF Ger.
mRny und Great Britain in limo of
peace.
There arc ovcr 5Oo,o00 original
claims and nenrly 10000 claims for
increase OF penRions now ponding.
Tho cost Of tho list last ycar was
Sl33. OOc,WN. This is double the en-.
tire cost OF the Government in tho
year before tho a II is an increase
OF sl00. 100000 since 1873, thirteen

The Republican organ seems to re
gard It as in some way n joke on tue
Democratic editors TO point out that
the reciprocity resolution offered in
the House hy Mr.. Breckenridge. and
approved by them, is Identical with
the proposition submitted by Secre-
tary Blaine on June 10Th, 1890. 10

Well, what OF il? Tho Worlds APP

thing iteclt. :.
The difference between tho original
B!aine reciprocity provision and the
one which tho ultra.protcctiopists
forced MIN to adopt rs the best he
could get, is tho difference between
real and sham reciprocity.
The original proposition, now re-
rived by Mr.. Breckenridge, authorized
tho President ITO declare tho ports Of
the UnitoA Stales fcce md open to
all the products OF any nation Of the
American henllsph, 70 upon which no
export duties are imposed" whenever
and 30 long as such nation s.,'il nd
init free a long list OF specified Ameri-
a products.
This is reciprocal FREQ trudo.
Tho reciprocity clau,o rs accepted
by the McKiulsyitos restricts tho Tree
importations into this country to
sugar, ~molassSs, coffee, ten and hides,
Tho hast three artlulcs had been long
u ION the free list. Sugar was placed
there before tho reciprocity clause
was added and irrespective OF il.
In other words, tho original Blaine
proposition was to untax "all the
l"vduets' OF the American nations
entering into reciprocal trade ar
rangcnonts with us. Tho modiilca
tion enforced by tho ~protented
monopolies limited the FREQ list to -four
articles, three OF which wcro already
upon IL, and continued to tax our
peopls upon everything else. Ono

CENSUS

All SIN is crowding his way into New

of 122,234, according to the recent CEN
Bus, 4,158 are Cinnamon.
AUSTRALASIA has $4,000, 900 acres Of
forest, yet imports, annually, lumber to
the value of els, 0o0, 900, chiefly from the
Pacific coast of the United States.
IT is somewhat surprising to learn
that the United States contains more
than 500, 900 almond trees and nearly as
many cocohnut trees, all Of which arc
fruit bearing.
One Of the revelations Of the census is
that there are now hundreds Of thou
sands OF bearing cocoanut trees in the
United States, and more than a quarter
of a million olive trees producing fruit,
THE census gives the production OF
maple sugar in the United States in
1890 at 30, 952, 026 pounds, besides 1885,
S7e gallons OF maple molasses. OF this
sugar three-fourths was produced in
Vermont and New York.

PLEDGES.

Objections are being made by the
Republican and Democratic machine
men to the pledge exacted OF Silver
League members. One unaocustomed
to the tactics Of the regular politicians
would suppose from what they say
that the Silver League had made an
innovation for which there is no pre-
cedent. The facts, however, prove
the contrary. At the Republican
primaries held last April for the cleo
tion OF delegates to the State Con-
vention. Each and every person vot-
ing pledged himself to support the
nominees Of the Republican party.
At the Democratic primaries a similar
pledge was exacted Of those who
voted. That has been the custom
with all parties and nc doubt it will
continue to be while people continue
to divide politically. If such pre-
cautions were not adopted organiza-
ton could not be maintained. With
out a pledge Democrats might control
Republican meetings and conventions,
and Republicans or Anarchists might
assume the management Of the con-
vention now being held at Chicago,
or Wall Street men, il there are
enougb of them in the community,
might undertake to conduct the At
fairs of the convention which il to
meet here tomorrow. Every society,
whether religious, civic or political,
has pledges which bind tho members
together and those who object to the
