there was artillery engaged IN the vicin-
ity" of the claimants regiment at the
battle of Savage Station. This answer
may have been lawyer-like, but to SOL
der who has very lively sense of the
difference between supporting and ebay
ing artillery In your vicinity" it was
very ignorant ana inconclusive answer.
Suppose that witness swore that 1.-The
premises abutted on Front street." and
then when it was proved conclusively that
the premises did not abut on Front street
the answer was made that the description
of the premises showed that they were in
the vicinity" of Front street, what would
that astute senatorial lawyer have thought
of the intelligence of that explanation?
Another conspicuous case was that of
lieutenant colonel of New England regi-
ment who was cashiered for cowardice at
Cedar Creek on charges preferred by Gen.
Truman Seymour. There was not the
slightest doubt of the justice of the sem
tence, and yet congress was pestered for
years with an application to reverse the
verdict OF this court-martial SO that this
man or his heirs could get pension. An
application to rehabilitate every deserter
in the army during the war and place him
on the pension roll would hardly have
been more indecent.
The pension roll has doubtless many
such cases. and the roll therefore ought to
be subjected to very sharp revision and
purged Of all persons who can be shown to
he dc
to lend all its influence to this work, for if
the pension roll is reduced the government
can afford to raise the rate of pension to
the really worthy pensioners, whose pen
sion today of s12 a month is too small. If
this is not done. some day the dependent
pension act will be in danger of repeal.
The pension roll needs revision, sharp
and searching examination. and purging
of fraudulent or unworthy claimants, but
the dependent pension act never ought to
be repealed. When it was passed every
intelligent, unprecedented veteran said that
it oughtto be the last of our pension laws.
Pensions have already cost more than the
war did, and the annual cost of our pen
sion list more than equals the cost of the
standing army of either Germany, France
or Russia; that is, the standing army of
our dead and disabled costs US more annu-
ally than a standing army of 500 900 able
bodied men costs the grea: powers of Eu-
rope. No wonder there is call for the re-
vision and reduction of our enormous PEN
sion roll of 900, 600, but We must not repeal
an act OF justice because its adminlstra-
ton has been so loose and extravagant
that some parasites have fastened them
selves upon the public treasury. No wise
man would burn his house down over his
wife and children's heads in order to de-
stroy swarm Of rats that had found ref
uge in its walls and cellars.

INCREASED TAX ON WHISKY.

The present tax of so cents gallon on
distilled spirits is from two to three times
the value of the spirits. Nevertheless. il il
proposed to increase the tax from 80 cents
10 $50. The present price OF distilled
spirits" 10 which It was recently advanced

OF that amount % cents IS internal revenue
tax. leaving the actual value of the spirits
40 cents. 4 tax of 81 - gallon would
therefore be 3I2}4 per cent. This proposed
increase OF the whisky tax j. made BY a

stamp out any treason TO the state; and if
he is not personally equal 10 his oppor-
tunity there are plenty of able and honest
French statesmen, like Brisson, who COM
mand the confidence of the people and can
take his place.
The worst that IL likely to happen to
France is the overthrow OF the Carnot adj
ministration and the election of a new set
Of senators and deputies. The monarch
lists have no representative or claimant 10
the throne of France who inspires by his
personal character or talents particle of
respect, confidence or enthusiasm. Since
the pope took the side OF the republic the
royalist party has been practically ex-
tinguished. The Bonapartists have all
gone 70 seed; Prince Victor is a cheap fell
low, of no sort of consequence, and no
danger need De apprehended from him and
his ridiculous little clump of partisans.
There is no Boulanger offering the people
military dictatorship and promise Of
revenge on Germany. Gen. De Saussier,
the leading soldier of the army, is said to
be most ardent republican, absolutely
loyal to the state; very gallant, stern
and incorruptible man. The Socialist
party. which is strong in Paris and the
great cities, would resist the restoration of
a monarchy to the death. There is no
prospect. therefore, that the French repub-
lie will fall, for the simple reason that all
the competitors of the republic may be
said to be dead in France at present.
The monarchy has few friends and no
strength; the Bonapartists are become
disreputable in character, decrepit in in
fuence. The vast mass of the agri-
cultural, manufacturing and property
holding class are firmly devoted to the
republic Not only is the French republic
not likely to fall, but it is likely to be gov
erned henceforth by the conservative wing
Of the republicans; the French people at
their next election will reduce the number
of Radicals and greatly increase the Con-
sentative strength in the chamber Of
deputies.

Diphtheria is a frightful scourge in this
country. Philadelphia is not one.quarter
the size of London. and its population is
better housed and fed but last year it had
three times as many deaths from this dis
ease relative to its size as London, and
this year it is having four times as many.
This disease is propagated chiefly by in
fiction. In nearly every case contact can
be proved. Experiments in England ap-
pear to prove conclusively that pigeons,
cats and cows milk may transmit the dis.
ease: but in the great mass of cases lnfec-
ton comes from human subject. The
reason why there is more diphtheria in
our great city of Philadelphia than in
the far greater city of London is
due to the absence or non-inforce-
ment of proper sanitary regulations.
Instant notifications under heavy penal
ties ought to be required in all cases. A
notice should be placed on every house.,
Isolation and disiniection, under the care
of public authorities, ought to be en-
forced. Lastly, when death comes, the
death notice ought to mention diphtheria,
and the funeral should be strictly private,
under severe penalties. In Michigan in
1887, where isolation and disinfection
were practiced there were only an average
of 254 cases per outbreak. Where these
precautions were neglected the average
number of cases was n.79, almost FIVE
fold greater. In the former case there
were only two deaths in these outbreaks;
where isolation and disinfectIon were
neglected there were eight deaths to
three outbreaks. In 1889 there was
the same experience. only then, the
machinery being better worked, the
cases were one-ninth as numerous per out
break and the deaths less than a quarter
as frequent. If Philadelphia had had the
same legislation rs Michigan, Judging
from its experience, instead of 92S deaths
from diphthoria there would have been
but 30 and instead of nearly !, 400 this
year there " ould have been but $40. or
about the same rate as London, which is
81 per goo 600 of inhabitants
These facts we find in the Philadelphia
Press which makes them serve as a text
for an excellent sermon on the Importance
of furnishing local boards of health with
ample power TO enforce this policy Of iso-
lation and disnfection against diphtheria.
These facts are worth reading by every
community in the United States, for there
is no part of the United States that does
not suffer from this frightlul DESTROYER of

THE FATE OF FRANCE,

Predictions that the French republic i.
near its end are rife in Europe. 1t is
pointed out that the first French republic,
the consulate and the empire from 1870 to
ISIS lasted but twenty-five years: that the
restoration of the Bourbons lasted but
fifteen years, from 1915 to the expulsion
of Charles the Tenth in 1880; that Louis
Philippe reigned less than eighteen years,
from 1880 TO ISiS; that the domination of
Louis Napoleon lasted less than nineteen
years, from 1851 10 1870 The present
French republic was - years old last Sep
tember, having been proclaimed after the
surrender at Sedan extinguished the sec
ond empire
The question today is whether the re-
public can survive It's present severe
shock. The people OF France have been
robbed by q corporation that had the in
dorsement and guarantee Of the govern
ment so far AS the legislative chamber and
executive could give II. The people who
invested III the Panama canal know today
that the government Endorsement was
bought with base bribes; that Is, that the
people of France who put their money
into the Panama canal enterprise were
betrayed nv over TOO senators. deputies
and ministers who were hribed to give
their official sanction of the scheme.
This terrible fact has been known for
some time by high government officials.
These government officials have PLAYED
into the hands OF canal spectators
by suppressing the report Of the
government engineers sent TO the
isthmus 10 examine the canal. By
coneealing this report the government and
the inside spectators knew the bankrupt
condition Of the canal company while the
innocent public kept on buying cans!

SEATTLE. SATURDAY., DEC. 81.


The stock Of gold in the treasury is re-
duced to about $40, 900. The paper
money and silver currency Of the country
consists of s346 000, 900 of old legal tenders,
$120, COO, 600 coin notes issued under the
Get of July, 1890, STA. 900, 900 of national
bank notes, and about S400, 000, 900 of silver
dollars and certificates of deposit of silver
dollars, making total of currency other
than gold of 81, "a, 900, which at pres
ent the public accepts as equal to gold. be-
cause of its faith that it can get gold for it
on demand. Here we have but $i20, 00o,-
600 as the basis upon which TO maintain
volume of 81, 04o 900, 900 Of money only
representing gold and dependent for its
value upon the possibility of obtaining
gold for it at pleasure. While our stock
of gold is decreasing, the volume of the
paper and silver money which it supports
is increasing under the operation of the
act OF July, 1890, so that, while we are ex-
porting gold at the rate of say $40, 000 900
per month, we are swelling the volume of
paper and silver money at the rate of
$1,000, 900 a month.
The New York san makes this state
ment of the currency situation and then
says:
We may GO on this way for some Tina longer
without sapping public confidence and pro-
duciug run for gold upon the treasury and
the banks, but how much longer?
The San assumes that there is no pros
pect that the act of July, 1890. which is
now adding 1900, 900 a month to our pa
per circulation, will be repealed, and it
does not think that the secretary of the
treasury will be able to increase the sup
ply of gold by selling under the redempt-
ion acs fresh issue of government bonds.
Apart from the question of the validity of
these bonds the San thinks it very doubt
fui whether gold could be got for them at
any price, because Europe has no more
gold to spare than we. Austria has lately
been trying in vain to negotiate with the
great European bankers q loan of $780,
000,000 in gold with which to commence
gold payments under her new currency
system. What she has got thus far has
come from this country and she will not
return it to us.
The Sun concludes its review of the stu
alton, which it evidently regards as favor
able to panic ut some not far distant
day, as follows:
TIE only hope for safety lies in the good sense
o. our people and in their faith in tho ultimate
adoption by the government of the measures
needed to restore our currency to a sound con-
dition
No wise legislation can possibly come
ont of the present congress or its successor,
for ''free silver" really dominates the
Democratic party.
