\ WASHINGTON dispatch on Wednes-
day saws a radical change in the pension
policy is proposed. The change will be
backed by a majority of the commltte
on appropriations and will be fought,
tooth and nail, by the Republican
minority, assisted by Representative
Holman, chairman OF the committee,
who is ordinarily the most strenuous
advocate in the committee OF reduc-
ton of expenditures. The proposed
change has in view considerable reduc-
ton of the pension rolls and OF the
enormous amount now paid out for
pensions by purging the list of names OF
some of those on it by making more
difficult the procurement of a pension
under the law and by turning over the
whole pension bureau to the war de-
partment.
Among the amendments which will bt
offered to the bill is one providing thai
| hereafter no widow who married {
| soldier of the late war shall receive {
pension where she married the soldier
more than five years after his discharge
thus making it apply not only to tht
war of the rebellion but to Indian anC
| all other wars.
Ano ther amendment excludes from
pensions under the disability act al
persons not disabled from manual labo
and who are in receipt Of an income o
more than 5000 a year.

IL the contested election cases of Da-
Wis vs McGough for register and recorder
and Hamer " Martin for coroner when
taken up on Monday, Mr.. Evans, coun-
sci for Messrs. Davis and Hamer moved
the court to dismiss both petitions at the
costs of the petitioners. The whole case
was comedy in two acis-the first act
when the contest was begun and the
second when it was dismissed The Re
publican leaders for the past month have
been looking for some excuse for drop
ping the matter, some way of getting
down easy, but to the Democrats who
knew there was nothing in the contests
II was matter of indifference whether
they got down or stayed up, whether they
went on with the contests or withdrew
them. The men who made affidavit
that they believed the facts set forth In
the petitions were true should now tackle
the Patton snake story.

The Sunday opening question, says
Philadelphia Record, still remains
undecided by the house Commit
tee on the Columbian Exposition. The
question was never a question at all in
the constitutional sense-the only sense
in which Congress could rightfuIly take
c1gnizance of it. In the sound moral
fibre and self-respect of the American
people there is a more certain guarantee
of due observance of the day of rest
than could be secured through the
changing of bars and bolts of the gates of
the Worlds Fair. Why should hun
dreds of thousands of strangers at Chi
cago be turned over to the devil and all
his workssOne day in the week merely to
crafty the foolish vanity or minister to
the archaic bigotry of comparatively
few Sabbatarian fanatics

SECRETARY FosrER's detailed statement

SECRETARY FosTER's detailed statement
of the condidtion of the Treasury, is
another affair of book keeping Out
of the maze of its figures however, we
find result strangely at odds with his
own claim of surplus.
Mr.. Foster states that his available
cash revenue for the current fiscal year
will be S466. 67l $50, aud he estimates
that his expenditures will be s464 ,67I,
$50. leaving a surplus at the end of the
year of $1,000, 900. He also asserts
that he has about s27, eco, 600 on hand,
in addition to the 800, 600, 600 gold
reserve. Mr.. Foster knows that this
sum is not available. 1t Is as genuine,
however as his prospective $1,000, 600
surplus.
But he fails to count in his expen-
ditures the liabilities owing and not
paid, the appropriations for which he
has held up. The amount of these is
$50, ,474, 600 while So, 3D., 900 has been
authorized but not appropriated for
On his own showing therefore, Mr.
Foster has in fact othing on hand in
excess of the amount of debts due and
unpaid that Is available for paying debts.
There is on his own statement. a de
hciency of at least $50 ,OOO, 900 to be an
ticipated by the end of the fiscal year.
The payments due on river and harbor
improvements alone would consume all
Mr.. Fosters alleged balance except the
gold reserve.
Juggling with the books will cover up
Deficiencies for a while, but there will
always come a time when angry creditors
demand cash instead of bookkeeping.
and to that time the Republican Admin
istration and the Billion Dollar Congress
have abont brought the country

REPRESENT ATIvE Mansfield, Of Beaver,
has introduced a bill in the Legislature
providing for elections on the license
question, drawn by ex-Chief Justice
Agnew, provides for the first election to
be held on the third Tuesday of February
after the passage of this act. and every
third year thereafter. The voter shall
cast a ballot containing the words
"hcense" or mo license, " to be placed
in separate box, counted and returned
to the court. In the county or city
voting no license, the court shall refuse
all applicants. In the event OF city
within a county voting one way and the
county the other, the court may grant
license to the division voting for it, but
not in the other. The act does not re-
peal any special law now existing which
prohibits the sale of liquor, and excepts
special license to druggists to sell for
medical purposes, Sales in districts
where majority has voted against license
shall be furnished according to the gen
eral law for sales without license. Off
GERS convicted of neglect to perform their

A CORRESPONDENT in the NOuntdineer
this week among other things wonders
why the commissioners do not pay off
all the county's liabilities when the
county treasurer has SOS, ,627, 90 in his
hands. The correspondent forgets that
money only comes into the treasury once
year when taxes are collected, and the
expenses of the county for the next SIX
months, until the next taxes are collected,
must be paid out of the money now in
the treasury. As to the balance of his
statement We do not pretend to discuss
as we have not given the figures suffi-
cient attention to understand them.

In the clearest light the Republicans
of the Senate, says the Harrisburg Fdfn-
ot. have taken upon themselves the re-
sponsi,ilitv of the defeat of the bill TO
repeal the silver purchase act major
itv Of Democrats voted to take up the
bill and a minority OF Democrats voted
against taking it up. The responsibility
therefore, rests with the Republicans
1t is no justifiable excuse to say that a
majority of Republicans would have iaV-
ored repeal had the roll-call been on the
direct question. That Is simply an eva
sion that Is not worth considering
Fauallv lame is the alleged excuse that
tits proper to delay now so that the Dem
ocrats who NAV control legislation Tor
the next four wears shall have the whole
responsibility of financial direction. Ii
some measure directly affecting the
nockets of these evaders had been before
the Senate they would not have thought
of throwing away any responsibility
and taking risks with changed Senate
We greatly fear nothing can now b.
done before March / to change the
methods forced upon Us by the Sherman
act. Meanwhile the expectation OF gold
must continue and it is not unlikely tina
the total surplus reserve will be swallowet
within the next two weeks.
The Republican leaders have practi
cally put themselves in league with the
wild silver men or the West and their Oh
rectors, the wealthy mine-owners- It's
| indeed, time that a party with such dan
gerous leaders, wholly unequal to an oc

session on Monday withoutp prayer, as is
the custom. The reason was that Col

longer to serve as chaplains. Later it
developed that the ministers had de
cided not to pray for the Legislature
