Cumulative Bounties.

Pension rapacity goes forward by
arithmetical progression. What is rash
or doubtful this year may be precedent
next year. During the Cleveland ad-
ministration, in a burst Of belated gem
erosity, law was passed giving to dis
abled Mexican veterans $S month,
without stipulating that their disabilities
should have been acquired in the
service.
This unfortunate piece of legislation
was the precursor of the disability bill,
which has swamped the treasury by
making similar provisions for all the
soldiers engaged on the Union side in
putting down the rebellion.
The disability bill raised the rate of
pension from $S per month to $l2 per
month. This. in turn, furnished the
excuse for the bill which passed con-
gress last week raising the pensions of
the Mexican veterans from IS to $l2.
1t is pleaded with some show OF JUS
tice and fairness that if one soldier be
entitled to $l2 per month for disability
growing out of any cause whatever, it
is not fair to put another soldier of
with $S when it only costs bagatelle Of
one million dollars per year to establish
equality.
But why should soldiers disabilities
incurred in the ordinary pursuits of life
entitle him more than any other man t.
a place on the pension list? Is it mo-
the duty of citizens to give their services
to the country in the emergency of war
Must men be paid for having done theil
duty when they are no longer serving
the country, and pensioned for hurt
and hindrances not in any way con
nected with the public service?
1t was an ill day for the country whel
congress yieled itself to the solicitation
of the pension agents; and no tim
should be lost in providing for such 1
revisa1 of the pension list as should
while continuing to recognize fully the
just debt Of the country, put an end tt
the debauchery of patriotic sentimen
and prevent the loading down of th'
nation with staggering, unwieldy ant

Fatal Hotel Fire at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July THE Hotel Lin
coin, 1920 Edgerton Avenue, at the edge
of the Worlds Fair grounds, was
badly damaged by fire this after
noon and five persons were in
iured. Two of them may die. The in
iured are: Jessie Bigelow, Ogden Utah,
may die; Mrs. C. H. McAleer, wife of
the proprietor; Joseph Cowles, fireman,
may die; John Powers, fireman; I'M
known man, badly cut about the head
and shoulders by falling glass.
The fire originated in the kitchen of
the hotel, and by the time the fire de-
partment arrived the frame building
was a mass of flames. Most of the
guests were visiting the fair, but the
few who were in the building had no
time to save any of their personal eff
fects.

nership quarrel not affecting the fnan-
cial standing of the firm, and as the
Mesaba deals are very favorable ones,
it is believed they will be carried out.

Justice Blatchford passed quietly and
peacefully from earth. He retained
consciousness until one hour or two be-

completed, but the body will probably
be taken to Washington for interment

CLEVELAND, O., July 10.-A special
from Buffalo says: The excursion
steamer Eldorado ran aground on
Horseshoe reef shortly after midnight,
and for while it looked as
though the accident, which was IN
itself light, would prove disastrous.
There were about 100 passengers on
board at the time, among them many
women, and only the GOODNESS OF the
boats officers prevented serious panic
The boat runs between this city
and Eldorado and Grand Island.
down the river. The night was
perfect and greater crowd
than usual remained until the
last boat. A portion of the people were
landed at the foot of Ferry Street and
the boat started for the foot of Main
Street. To get there it had to cut across
the end of Lake Erie. In doing SO the
wheelman, misunderstanding the cap
tain's orders, steered to the wrong
side of buoy and ran on the
shelving reef. The boat struck
hard and the passengers were thrown
into state of wild excitement. Women
and children screamed and rush was
made for the side of the boat. Signals
of distress were sounded and for halt
an hour the greatest turmoil existed.
Finally the tug Cherry came out 1ol-
lowed by the life-saving crew, who
lifted the people out of the CABIN VIM
dows and transferred them to the tug.

AGAINST THE ARMY BILL.
Herr Groeber Addresses the ReiChstag on
the Measure.

BERLIN, July Sat to-day's session of
the Reichstag, Herr Groeber, Centrist,
who in the last Reichstag voted in OPP
position to the army bill, spoke against
the measure in the name of the Center
party. The Centrists, he declared, were
firmly oppose d to the bill, and all the
party were pie dyed against it. From
military point of view the bill was
needless, and from an economical stand
point it was ruinous. 1t would be bet
ter for the government to enter
into an organic federation with
Austria than to increase the army SUI
pert1uously. The present government
game to secure mOusetrap majority
was an undignitied one. Doubtless if
the house knew how the government
intended to cover the extra cost in
volved by the measure, it would not be
able to find majority
Herr Boeckel, anti-Semite, said that
the members of that party would
only vote for the bill on condition
that the costs be covered by
To secure anti-Semite support Chancel-
lor Won Caprivi must declare that the
government would not increase the
Indirect food tax. Herr Boeckel
declared that the anti-Semites
would strive to abolish the pos
sibility of heaping mp enormous
fortunes like those possessed by the
Rothschilds and Bleichroeders. He
added that the present bill must be the
absolute conclusion of the army. If it
were not emigration from Germany
would increase.
Chancellor Won Caprivi reiterated the
statement he made yesterday that at
present it was impossible to give
the details of the financial plan
to cover the increased expendi-
ture that would be incurred
through granting the governments
demands. He asked Herr Boeckel to
trust to the governments honesty, and
promised to relieve the weak shoulders
of the burden of increased taxation.
Only the well-to-do, he said, would be
called upon to day the new taxes.
