The New York Herald has been SUMMARY
ine the records Of the Pension Office, and It
finds there are still nineteen old ladies regu-
larly drawing pensions as widows Of soldiers
that fought Great Britain in the Revolution
airy war. This means that there were some
young soldiers in the Revolutionary war who,
late in life. married young women. The fact
should make the people Of the nited States
think very seriously over the way IN which
Congress is pensioning the soldiers of the late
war.
We showed in a recent article that the
system as now adopted by Congress must fix
on Us an annual charge Of something ike
1891 900. 900. It's simple matter Of arith-
metic TO determine this. as any one may find
out for himself by reading Mr. II. st. G..
| fuckers speech in the House Of Representa-
tives delivered on May G. 1892
The country might stand this enormous
drain for a few years; but how long Is il to
| last? We have nowhere heard any answer 10
| this question. In the Herald's case We find
the Government going on with pensions more
than hundred years after the war is ended.
| How long is this annual drain Of 1891, 900 900
to remain upon US:
| A few days back the sockless and peerless
| Simpson of Kansas made some reference IN
the House to the Governments duty 10 take
care of the idiotic children of deceased SOL
diers. To what succeeding generations the
principle shall be extended no man may say.
as no man has yet ventured TO suggest any
boundary whatever 10 amount or duration.
And suppose in the meantime we have war
with Great Britain over Canada and Behring
Sea. which leaves US as many pensioners as
the last war. What shall DO tho limit Of our
liability in respect to that, and how much will
be incur for both wars
| Although these questions give the ambi-
tious aspirant for Congress no sleep
less nights when he is trading places
on the pension lists for votes they
cause the well-wisher Of his country q
good deal of anxiety. and the taxpayer some
times asks himself, When is this thing CO.
ing 10 end ?" The strict neutral thinks i,
about time 10 call halt.

MONEY CALCULATION.

II is well 10 recall at this time when there IS
a partisan demand for an unlimited increase
Of the currency that in the last few years the
volume of money in circulation has shown
a steady enlargement The statement issued
June lst by tho Government sets down the
money circulation Of the United States at
that date nj II 500 900, 900 against Si,G13,0Oo.-
600 at the beginning Of the preceding month
and =. COS 600 600 April lst. II IS anticipated
by the Treasury authorities that the money
circulation will be II CPS, OOO. 900 at the close
Of the present fiscal year, July lst.
II is calculated that the increase IN the cir
culation has amounted during the course OF
the present year to sl25,OOOOOO The full
meaning OF this increase will be seen by
glance at the money circulation on previous
wears. Between September l and November
/. 1888. the money circulation increased
sf7OOOO0O. Between July and December I,
1859 s37. 900 OOO For the same period IN 1890,
s75.o00.OOO. In 1891. 100000. At no time
during the period Of 1887, 1888, 1889, did the
circulation rise within 1920. 900 Of the
amount in the present year. or within $780,
OOO. 600 of It in 1890. In the light Of these
important figures. the following warning from
the Commercia-Bulletin is worthy Of atten-
ton.
The great increase in the money circula-
ton; the known facts in regard to It's distri-
button; the conditions prevailing at the
money centres the comparatively restricted
aud conservative condition Of business and
other features Of the situation indicate no
probability Of a repetition of the anxiety on
this score so often actually feltor woT.ed up
Tor selfish purposes at the approach Of au-
tunn. but it is nevertheless q fact to be borne
in mind that whatever the currency condi-
tions Of the autumn may be reliance cannot
be placed upon the Treasury for relief meas

ness men must so arrange their affairs as to
meet the financial requirements Of the season
without Treasury Intervention, whatever that

FNFOECESfrNT or LAW.

THE TINES has repeatedly condemned
lynching as an outrage upon any society
where law was established and administered,
but il has also declared and now emphasizes
the truth, that the only preventative Of lynch
law il the enforcement Of our common and
statute law. The recent atrocious case Of yio-
lence and incest in the neighborhood Of Rich
mond. whose hdeous particulars We have
properly suppressed. would, according 70 the
standard OF the lynch law gentry, lie ample
justification for the exercise Of their hanging
propensities: but happily for the good Of our
community no such outrage has even been
suggested. and If the law IS fairly and calmly
administered. whatever the result may be.
the public will feel that no amount of mob
violence can be made a substitute for the re-
straining effect Of deliberate Judicial pro-
cedure.
LISA maxim in criminal science that It is
not the severity. but the certainty Of punish
ment. which deters crime. But there Is some
thing about mob law which, in It's greatest
violence. does not only deter but rather in
cites crime.
We are firmly of the opinion that every
man who takes part in a 'lynching bee
should Do determinedly prosecuted for muir
der. and where criminal escapes Just pun
ishment through the weakness or cowardice
Of the jury. as in Rayachols case. such q
jury should be the objects Of such scorn and
public condemnation as to efectually prevent
criminals going unwhIpped Of justice.

who we're referred to.
Tho anplauss which greeted him exceeded
in heartiness and length anything which had
been vet heard in the convention. Not oven
.hs uane of Blaine excited the same tromeh-
dous enthusiasm. and to all intents and pur-
,,o.ea Rsed stood before that vast crowd the
most conspicuous exponent Oh hepuDhca"
principles in the United States
Who il this man Reed? That is question
which il ia unnecessary TO answer. IL no'
Tho most famous man in this country he Is
oo,ts,nlv ono Of the most notorious. Az the
nrssiding officer of the last Congress he won
a reputation which is entirely unique in the
history of our public men. He was offensive
and tyrannical in his personal bearing, arbl-
,rarv and high-handed in his rulings and
utterly callous TO oil the traditions OF dignity
which invested the position which be occu-
pied. So arbitrary, so tyrannicai and go cal
lous was he. indeed. that he earned the title
Of Gar. title which no patriotic American
citizen would deserve or desire.
His hatred of the South and the Southern
people was exhibited on every possible oc-
casion. and in O manner 30 opposed t. de-
cencv as TO draw down upon him the disgust
of all fair-minded men. And yet It is this
man whom the Republican Convention
bonored with reception altogether unpro-
cedented in its cordially. To that convention
it was a matter Of Indifference whether Reed
was rebuked IN the elections for the present
Congress by hostile maiorItes that we're
larger than had ever before been known.
All his cynical disregard Of common
Justice, his contempt for the prophecies. his
bitter enmity to tho South were only recon-
mendations to Republican admiration OF
the very highest order. They applauded him
until il seemed as il the roof was about to
fall. simply because he was the bulldog rep
re,entatiye Of their own emotions and
opinions. He was their exponent aud their
spokesman. Nothing was to be lett undone
to show their approval OF him as man aud a
| politician.

JUSTICE srANLtY MATHEWS.

A recent newspaper reference 10 the fact
that Hon. Stanley Mathews was confirmed in
the Senate of the Dnited States as Justice Of
the Supreme Court of the United States by
only one vote emphasizes the tact how popu-
lar clamor often leads astray. Because JUS
tice Mathews was easily the leading lawyer
in his whole region Of county, tbs large cor
porations who had immense interests at stake
in the ltgations in which they became ill.,
volved always employed him as their
lawyer, and because he vas thus
employed by corporations public clamor
was raised against his being con.
firmed as Judge Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Yet. If We leave
out of view the great Chief Justice with
whom no other Judge in America is 10 be at
all compared. Justice Mathews ranks. and will
always rank, as one Of the greatest jurists that
ever adorned the American bench. This
reckless clamor came near deprlying the
country of the services Of one who has
adorned even the Supreme Court Of the
United States. When lawyer can secure
one Of Justice Mathews opinions fully dis
cussing his side Of case. he considers it al
ready Won.
