IL is an encouraging sign Of success
that many Of the old soldiers themselves
have taken up the question Of pension
reform and pension reduction. Through
a kindness, that was misguided
in itself aud was played upon
for dishonest purposes by those
not entitled to pensions, the old
soldiers did not take the active measures
in preventing pension frauds that they
should have taken. Mr.. Bayard says:
The widest publicity should be given
to the pen sion rolls. and this I unavil-
ngly suggested ten years ago in the
Senate. The name of each person re.
ceivlng money from the Treasury should
he of open public record. The Blue
Book processes TO do this as to an
officials, civil naval and military and
there Is no reason why the pension roll
should not be open TO examination.
No doubt Congress will soon remove
the all secrecy of methods in procuring
pensions. and allow the causes of sucb
allowances and the amounts to be pub-
licly known, in order that the lists may
be purged of unworthy cases and become
At that time, ten years ago, that sensi-
bic suggestion was regarded as hostile to
the old soldiers. Now they are sorry
they did not heed it. Nobody would
succor an old soldier in distress quicker
or more generously than Mr.. Bayard but
he was wise enough to see what every
candid man sees now, that the Harrison
ian idea Of 'liberal pensions" would be
abused In this connection here is an
appropriate paragraph from the Grand
Army and National Qua rdsman:
Two dollars amonth to veteran who
was wounded and disabled In battle is
not enough, yet one OF the best comrades
in the city the commander of his post
was getting that, and believing himself
entitled to more, applied for an
Increase. His application was refused
A fellow who was not wounded during
the war, but got slightly injured in the
leg by fall from horse was re.rated Mt
$50 month by Tanner and got some
S1,OOO arrearages besides. We know of
other such cases which we hone to see
Investigated and corrected All unde
serving pensioners may well quake; de-
serving pensioners need have no fear.
The people Of this city will readily re-
call Che names Of at least two prominent
men of this city, who have occupied pub
lie Offices requiring a high degree Of ply
sical ability physical perfection almost
but who, meantime, have been drawing
large pensions for physical disability.
Putting aside all thought Of the dis
honesty and widespread corruption of
tho practice Of applying for and drawing
pensions, which though perhaps they
were technically legal were nevertheless
shamefully and boldly dishonest. such a
practice is wrong because it is unfair TO
the poor and honest cripple who has
neither money nor influence to push bis
superior claim.

He HAS NOT DONE WHAT He COULD.
The people eff Camden, N. j., are repre-
sented to be in an excited state Of indig-
nation because Jay Gould did not provide
literally Tor his sister, Mrs. Northrop.
who has spent nearly twenty years of a
life Of industry and goodness there
Mrs. Northrop is modest and retiring,
and II was not until the past few years
that she was know to be a sister Of Jay
Gould. Little is known Of her early life
or exactly when she came to Camden
other than the fact that about twenty
years ago she kept little school for
children by which she supported her FIVE
boys and eight girls, besides several step
children.
Her husband, who was a tanner with a
plant in one Of the back counties Of
Pennsylvania when she married him,
long before her removal to Camden, it is
said, possessed but little business ability
and soon wearied Of the attempt to sup
port his family, Of wife and thirteen
children, and committed suicide by drown
ing, leaving his wife to support the
large family.
About eight years ago the wizard
millionaire, who had more money than
he knew what to do with, bought
small property and held it for the use Of
his sister at an annual rental The peo-
pie Of Camden said that was unkindly
and inadequate enough considering Mrs.
Northrops needs and deserts and her
brothers wealth; but they are positively
indignant now that the win allows her
only $4,000 worth of property and
81 600 a year legacy
IL is possible that the people do not
know the facts in the case; and, in their
hasty conclusions from what they do
know, they may be doing the millionaire
an injustice But that is only possi-
bility; for Jay Gould has not used his
millions in life, or in death, for any
noble or generous purpose.
It is likely that the people Of Camden
are right in condemning JAY Gould for
unbrotherly, unwise. selfish and mean
NANNNhNAt "a Ms oinNtl. Inc laCI INNt
she made no claim upon his bounty;
that her industry, perseverance, and in
dependence were her own supports.
furnishes the strongest reason why he
should have been lavish with his fortune
upon her and those dependent upon her
during his life and her struggles, and
kindly bountiful TO her at his death.
ftis not strange that Jay Gould leaves
life with fewer charitable words for his
memory than many poor cartman. He
has done infinitely less for the world, in
TO his means, than a poor
cartman, who has loved his wife, edu-
Gated his children, been careful with his
horses and died an honest man at peace
with God and man.
Jay Gould has done nothing for the
world for humanity. for mankind or for
his neighbors; he has left his own sister
to fight against poverty. He is as great
an anarchist as selfish, Obstructive and
brutally unconscious as Napoleon Bona
parte.

A eEeaAR IS Am lMPosToR-

A wall has come from the British
farmers which should make the heart
Of the protectionist and the Mckinley
crank leap with joy. It is a wall Of dis
tress-the protectionists love distress in
England-and an imprecation for pro.
lection to cure it.
The agricultural interests of Great
Britain are going from bad to worse So
it was represented, at a recent conference

and other things not facts. The cranis
and philosophers in the conference de
cided that what the farmer needs is
protection with bimetallism ION the
side. They advocate a protective tariff
on an food products.

mistaken as to the effects Of a protec-
tive tariff. They have not studied Nc

They think that protective
tariff will increase their profits by in
