WHEN General Garfield was chair
man of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, less than twenty years ago, ht
declared that the pension list had
reached its maximum. 1t was then
twenty-five million dollars.
(" The amount appropriated by the
Billion Dollar Congress for 1892, "says
the New York Herald,n was hun
dred and thirty-five millions, which it
has been found necessary to increase a
hundred and forty -seTeH HaillieHs. This
is an excess of thirty-nine millions over
the total of 1891, which, in turn, was an
increase of twenty-five over the aggre-
gate of 1890. In other words. the
money sunk in pensions has been stead
lily and rapidly increasing year by year.
IT must, steadily and rapidly increase in
the future unless halt is called.
Representative Enloe, of Tennessee,
who has thoroughly informed himself
on the subject, estimates that as things
are going hundred and sixty million
dollars will be called for next fiscal
year, and that il Republican extrava-
gance is not arrested q high water
mark of two hundred million dollars
a year will be reached"
We submit these figures to the con-
of intelligent voters.

Delawar Delegates at Chicago.

Delaware's delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention, which
meets at Chicago next Tuesday. will
leave via Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
at SAT O'Clock next Saturday morning
and will arrive at Chicago Sunday
afternoon. Their headquarters will be
at the Palmer House.
Although the delegation is unin-
structed as to Presidential candidates,
it is admitted by the delegates them
selves that Cleveland is their first choice
and will receive their votes so long as
there is a fighting chance of his win
ming.
Upon this point ex-Secretary Bayard
said to-day: "The Delaware delega-
tion is solid for Cleveland. Now is the
opportunity Of the Democratic party
and there should be no mistake. There
is no better representative of the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party Of Della
ware than Cleveland. :

THE platform of the republican
party as laid down by the National
Convention, is replete with promises to
every class of the American people.
Among all these classes the monopo-
lists will receive the lions share of the
good things, while the farmer and the
laborer get nothing. On their
shoulders rests the great burden of tax
alton which it has always been the
policy of the republican party to build
up. In the convention the benefi-
ciaries of high tariff legislation were in
the majorities while the minority was
composed Of that ignorant and vicious
class which makes up the bulk of the
republican party in the Southern States.
Mckinley, the author of the most
iniquitous tariff bill which ever became
a law, was the permanent chairman of
the convention thus did his followers
emphasize the fact that they had COM
mitted the party tu the tender mercies
of the fat-fryers who furnished the
necessary funds in 1888.
In regard to pensions the platform
may be somewhat indefinite but the
inference is that all who ask will be
accommodated. On the question Of
free silver the utteranees are of such a
nature that either side may consider
them encouraging. The platform as a
whole is explicit only in its reference
to past and settled Issues and conveys
no absolute meaning on any question
of present Importance. Even on the
tariff question it goes from one extreme
to the other by advocating protection
and reciprocity the first means the
exclusion of goods OF foreign manufac-
ture and the last absolute free-trade.
The managers are casting about for
new issues, in the hope that the re-
mains Of the party may be revivified
and restored to active life, but they
have found that the only questions of
Importance to the people have been
brought forward and agitated by the
democratic party hence the declara-
tion for reciprocity. The platform
means nothing, but the men nominated
can make better canvass without
declaration of principles. A prohibi-
tory tariff, the force bill, increased
pensions, alltend toward Capitalization,
the natural outcome and consequences
of the course adopted. The candidates
believe that one portion of the country
should be subjected to burdens from

Changed Marriage Form.

The Methodist Protestant General
Conference at Westminster. Md, re-
formed the marriage service of that
church last week by striking out the
word "obey" for the BRIDES promise.
In reply to an inquiry the president Of
the conference said the new order of
matrimony applies only to the future,
and does not affect existing contracts.
Mrs. st. John, of Kansas, who was
recently admitted TO the General Con-
ference as minister. said the promise
to obey is superfuous, because a
woman will always obey her husband
if she loves him. Brides who object to
the promise to obey as humilating may
now find ceremony to suit their fancy.

ONE of our daily papers, in referring
to the great political Conventions and
the strain they bring on the people,
says:
This is great county. No nation
on earth ever had such politics as the
American people have. These great
political conventions, the strained at
tention they attract, and the Int6tfi.
gent criticism they evoke are the most
significant signs of the strength, vigor,
vim and vivacity of this nation. No
other people has anything approaching
to them. Nowhere else could they be
with safety tried. A people that can
endure such strain must have the
solid rock beneath its feet. 1t is capa.
