PENSIONS AND POLITICS.

Mr.. Greut Makes . Happy Hit at the Demo-
Gratis and Their Record on Claims
Cieveland's Action Contrasted With ths
Republican Presidents.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 Speesal MIR.
Grout makes very happy partisan hit at
the Democrats in connection with pension
legislation, and it is really very we'll de-
served. He cites the fact that President
Cleveland wrote $50 veto messages, stamp
ing with his disapproval that number ap-
proved BY both branches of Congress- He
also annulled Al more with 'pocket veto
at the time of adjournment. Two hundred
and twenty-seven more became laws with
out his signature, because he withheld them
for more than ten days. Thus, Mr.. Grout
declares, Cleveland virtually negatived 524
private pension bills, and by way of con-
trast asserts that no Republican President
ever vetoed private pension bill.
The more amusing because il is In this
connection, is the further statement of the
negligence of the. present House In the
early part of the session in regard to pen
sion bills and its astounding enthusiasm at
the last hour. The House made no pro-
vision for special session to ennsider pri-
NotC pcuSfOu uiilS uutil ol OOutu
Dakota, a Republican, introduced a
resolution providing that Friday even
ing of each week be set apart for
that purpose. This was adopted,
but no evening session was held
until February 26, and that entire session
was spent hageling over one little bill, to
pension q destitute widow over II years of
age. On the 10Th day OF July only 56
pension bills had been passed by the
House, but on the Friday evening of nd
journment no less than 1O5 such bills were
rushed through, tor political effect, within
two and one-half hours, two being acted on
favorably which had not been reported to
the House by the committee,
In contrast to this Mr. Grout cites that no
less than S93 hills for war claims, nearly all
from the late Confederate States, were re-
ported favorably, most of them quite early
in the session. These bills carry over s4OO,-
000, ,00O and bills and petitions before the
Committee on War Claims not yet acted
on involve the payment Of $500, 900, 900
more, including the refunding of the cotton

LospoN, Aug. @ --Themaa Nsill indicted
for the murder of the girl Matilda Glover.
was again brought mp on remand in the
Bow street police court to-day. No rev
evidence against Nsill was adduced, the
police believing that this IL not the proper
time to disclose the full nature of the
evidence they have gathered, and that the
evidence given before the coroner will be
sufficient TO have the prisoner held for trial.
The first witness called to-day was Miss
Laura Sabitini, who was engaged to be
married to Neill. She testified that she
was introduced in November to the pris-
oner, who was known to her as Dr. Thomas
Neill-Creem. He told her that he was q

riage to her and she accepted him. Later
he went to America, as he told her, to look
after his fathers estate. Before he left be
made will In which he bequeathed all his
property to the witness. This will was
witnessed by sister Of the witness Neill

Miss Sabatini told how Nei1l had induced
her to write letter to Dr. Harper, of Barn
staple, accusing his son of the murder of
Alice Marsh and Emma Shfivell, and offer
ing to surrender the evidence Of the crime
on the payment of 81 800 1t was this letter
and q letter to Private Detective Clarke

sented to her that he was agent for the Sara
toga IN. W Drug Company. and showed
her case Of pill phials When she wrote
the letter to Dr.. Harper from Neill's dicta-
tion, she said it was terrible charge to
make, and asked him if he really had the
evidence that young Harper had poisoned
the girls. Neill replied that friend of his,
who was detective, was trying to get the
evidence. Other witnesses who testified at
the inquent were called and repeated the
stories Of Neill's connection with the girls

DUE TO THE TARIYR.

An Eugiistfman Starting Lacs. will--The
Industry LapsuishinE in Soptinshan
OWING to the eMcKinIey Aet-Future ,of
the pusine.s In fke United states.
NEW YORK, Aug. a~oue of England's
great industries-the maHafactcEe of lacs--
will soon be firmly established in the
United States. Nottingham, England, has
long been o home of the lace and lace cur
tam industry, millions Of dollarsare in-
vested in the business there, and
esch year products of the mills TO
the extent of millions of dollars have
been sent to this country. But before
long, the few lace curtain manufacturers
now in this country say, there will be .
different state of affairs. England, instead
of ha wing the greatest lace curtain industry
in the world, will have to be content. they
declare, with taking place after the United
States. The Nottingham lace companies
realize that America is the place for saeh
an industry, and some of them are already
preparing to bring their plants here. and to
give employment to thousands Of American
wage earners
The cause of this turn in the tide is the
Mckinley act. Before that measure be-
came law there was really no lace indus
try ins this country that was doing what
could be called a business. The most re-
cent example OF the benefits of the law is
the corporation of the Wyandance Lace
Company, which will soon have plant at
Wyandance, L. l., which will give employ
ment for several hundred people, whd will
receive American wages. An officer of the
concern says:
Il was in the lace curtain business i'm
Nottingham and was doing good business
there until the Mckinley act was passed
But when America saw fit to place a duty
on lace and lace curtains the company I
was interested In could not afford TO send
shipments to this country. As we exported
such large quantity of lace and lace cur
tains to the United States it naturally
crippled our business, and our profits were
cut down. !, as an Englishman,
thought it was an outrage to prevent US
from doing business with Americans, but
1 now see that it was a smart Yankee idea
to get the industry over here. The Ameri-
cans, I know, want to have plenty of Lace
but they also want it to be made in this
country. As it was simply case of
America proposes to have the industry
set about to take hand IN starting it. The
result in my case is the Wyandance Lace
Company, with works on Long Island. We
shall not start on o small scale. We shall
have seven machines with all the subsidiary
machines, and within 12-month after we
start we hope to double the number of ma
chimes and more than double the output.

RAILROADS LOSING MONEY.
Fifteen OF Them In Receivers Rands in
South Carolina.

South Carolina
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 9.-[Special. J.
The railroads of South Carolina, in addi-
tion to their troubles with the State, are In
bad way financially and otherwise. Fiji
teen of them are in the hands of receivers,
as follows: Asheville and Spartanburg; At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line; Columbia,
Knoxville and Western; Three C's; Charles
ton, Sumter and Northern; Charlotte, Co.
lumbia and Augusta; Cheraw and Chester;
Chester and Lenoir; Columbia and Lenoir;
Columbia and Greenville; Laurens Rail-
road; Port Royal and Augusta; Port Royal
and Western Carolina; South Carolina Rail-
way; Spartanburg Union and Columbia.
These roads represent more than one-half
the total railroad mileage of the State,
1,487k miles out of a total mileage OF
2,35SX miles. Considerably more than half
of the roads are already in the hands of the
courts, simply because they cannot make
money, even with as good or better man
agement than is given to successful private
business enterprises.

ARIsT0cRAcY AND GOOD LOOKS,
The Gods Of the Heathen Arc Ugly, but
Nevertheless Great.

The Gods Of the Hesthen Arc Ugly, but
Nevertheless Great.
As a matter of fact, there is scarcely any
connection between aristocracy, even demo-
cratic aristocracy. and good profile, says
7. V. Higginson, in Harper's Bazaar The
more complete the system of caste, the more
absolutely it is discovered from anything
relating to external appearance. The social
inferior looks up to the superior, as one Of
Dickens 'reverential wives" looks up to
her husband, with reverence not impaired
by any homeliness of features.
Rufus Choate said of Chief Justice Shaw,
of Massachusetts,, who was one of the plain
est of men: II feel toward him as the South
Sea Islander feels toward his idol be sees
that he Is ugly. but he knows that he is
great" The most striking case perhaps of
this complete reversal of judgment under
the influence of caste is to be found in those
two tribes described by the author of 1.-TWO
Happy Years in Ceylon," the Rock Vea-
dahs and the Rodiyas. The Rock Veddahs
are stunted, hideou. and filthy; they live in
secluded caves and holes; they eat bats and
rats, and make their scanty clothing from
the bark of trees; but tine Singhalese regard
them as OF tne very nignest caste, and 1t
would be no disgrace for a woman of good
social position to marry Rock Veddah.
On the other hand, the very greatest dis
grace that could be inflicted on such q
woman would be to marry her to Rodiya,
although these last are race distinguished
for beauty, at least in youth, and gentle and
innocent by nature. The Rodiyas cannot
enter a temple or village; they are forbid
den to till the soil or draw water
from a we'll; they cannot build q
house or divide burden into two
bundles; their shadow. must not tall on
stream, lest 1t be polluted; no member of
another caste may touch them without dis
grace; yet anyone may shoot them without
blame. All this is supposed to be in conse-
quence of the act of an ancestor two thou
sand years ago. who inveigled king into
eating human hesh.. As consequence the
beautiful race is at the foot of the social
scale, the ugly and repulsive at the top.

ALake Rooted With salt.

There is a lake entirely rooted with salt
near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is 9
miles wide and II long. In the long ago
rapid evaporation Of the lakes water left
great salt crystals floating on the surface.
In course of time these caked together.
Thus the waters were finally entirely Gov
cred. In 1873 the lake found an under
ground outlet into the River Obi, which
lowered its surface about three feet. The
salt crust was so thick, however, that it re-
tanned its old level, and now presents the
curious spectacle of q salt-r6ofed lake.
