Pensions and Politics.
From the North American Review.


There can be no doubt that the deserving
soldier who went unhinchingly to the front
at his country's call, and while enduring the
hardships of camp, march, and conflict m
Cured wounds or other permanent disabili-
ties, regards the pension list as roll of hon.
or. and earnestly desires, with all other good
citizens, the adoption of such measures by
Congress, or by those charged with the ad-
ministration of the laws, as will purge the
list of all those who have been placed thereon
through fraud or misrepresentation; but the
understanding class, which, unfortunately, con
stitutes a considerable proportion OF the list,
will never reinquish the benefits wrongiully
acquired without bitter and determined
struggle, and many well.meaning and con
scientious men in public life, who acknowl.
edge and earnestly deplore the existence OF
pension abuses, will hesitate to align them
selves on the side of corrective measures for
fear of its possible adverse effect upon their
political fortune.
contend therefore, that the admiBistra-
ton of the pension laws should, if possible, be
completely divorced from politics, and while
have not yet been able to fully satisfy my
mind as to the practbility of the change, II
may be fonnd, upon careful consideration
and investigation, that the transfer OF the
bureau to the War Department, proposed in
recently offered (but not adoptedl amend.
ment to the Pension Appropriation bill, aud
to the care of courageous, able, and fair.
minded army officer, would be step in the
right direction. The demand that the pension
list be maintained in its ideal status as a roll
of honor is not partisan one, but voices the
sentiment of the conservative and enlightened
element of the country without regard to
party affiliations.

The Great Race.

Diablo wen the SlS,0 900 purse at Brooklyn,
n. Y. on Monday; distance Il miles; time
200. The betting was 80 to l against him
ON account of his age. Over 10000 persons
witnessed the great race and thousands OF
dollars changed hands. The jockey, Taral,
who rode the winner, was placed on the seat
of a floral horseshoe and carried in triumph
from the grand stand to the paddock. a
floral horseshoe was also placed about the
neck of the winning horse as he was led from
the track.
It was sometime before the final start was
made. Judge Morrow, Leonawell, Terriher
and Fideio were little in the lead, with
Lamplighter, Charade, Pickpocket, Hume
and Mars in bunch in the rear. Ierrlher,
true to the Daily tactics, Immediately shot 70
the front and set clinking pace past the
stand and into the backstretch. Here Leona-
we'll. who had been struggling for his head,
passed Terri6er and took a lead oftwo lengths.
The race all through the back stretch was
an exceedingly pretty one. All of the horses
we're running well together and within strlk-
ing distance of the leader. AT the far turn
Leonawell increased his lead, and shout
went Mn from his admirers. Their joy was
short lived, however, for, turning into the
home stretch, Diablo, Lamplighter, Judge
Morrow and Hume moved up and joined the
leader.
A desperate and highly exciting drive en-;
sued, the horses running almost head and
head all through the stretch. Less than
quarter of furlong from the wire Dlaolo
began to draw out, and, soon getting clear OF
the others, won grand race by length ana
half. Lamplghter beat the tired but game
Leonawell neck for the place. Hume, who
was fourth nose away, was Tapped to the
withers by Pickpocket and Charade, whe had
come from the rear in the last 90 yards.
The owners of Diablo, Messrs. Walcott d
Campbell were as much astonished as the
public, because of his age and uncertainty,
many times he having left the track, the devil
seeming to have full possession of him.

The Worlds Fair.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago is the
greatest the world has ever seen. Nothing
approaching it has ever been held. Ii Is
on the most gigantic scale in every partic-
ular, and millions of dollars have been spent
on buildings and exhibits. And when it
is all over the debt it will leave will be on
a scale commensurate with its gigantic
proportions. The running expenses amount
to s45, 900 day, and it will require a
paid attendance every day of 10000 per-
sons to meet this expense, and about as
many more to repay the stockholders. So
far the attendance has averaged but 1000
a day. The weather has been wet and
cool, and as the season advances, the crowds
will be larger. The slim attendance so far,
and the lack of funds, has induced the man
agement to open the exhibition on Sun
days. This will increase the receipts won
derfully, and during the months of July
and August the attendance will run up into
the hundreds of thousands.

The Chinese Exclusion Act.

The "Chinese Exclusion Act, as 1t Is
usually called, and which the United States
Supreme Court has declared constitutional
bv vote of FIVE to three, with one justice
absent. may result in very serious compil-
cations between this government aud China
It has not been very many years since the
United States, in connection with other
powers, compelled the Chinese nation to
open their ports to foreign commerce. Now
that the Chinese have come to this coun-
try in large numbers, under treaty OF our
own seeking, we seek to exclude them, not
BY an abrogation of that treaty, but by
imposing obligations upon them with a
penalty of hard labor and deportation for
failure of compliance.
The majority of the court, In sustaining
the constitutionality of the law imposing
these obligations, do not sanction the Wis
dom of the act. They say 1t is not their
province to pass upon the expediency oil
congressional action, but this very express
sion is a strong intimation Of IA disapproval
of the wisdom of the law The dissenting
iustices-Chief Justice Fuller and Asso-
ciate Justices Field and Brewer-declare
the act unconstitutional and inveigh sharply
.,..;,st &c nrudanca
Even if the act is constitutional as
majority of the court hold, its passage seems
to be ill-advised and hasty. China will
and ought to, retaliate, and the exclusion
of Americans from China will work hard
ship much greater to them than the dePor
tation of the Chinese from the United
States. Besides, the enforcement OF the
law will result in a cessation of business
relations with China, and the very section
the Pacific coast, that engineered the Chi
pese exclusion act will suffer most, for the
trade with China is mostly confined to The
Pacific States.
The deportation of the Chinese, in ae
cordance with the act, will require an ex
penditure of six millions of dollars. Al
Congress did not vote the necessary mean
to carry out the provisions OF the law, the
executive branch of the government will
not be able to do so, and the full effect o
the act will be defeated thereby. Som'
Chinese have been deported, and Others
will have-to be, until the fund appropriated
to put the law into effect is exhausted, bu
it is well that Congress fell short In tn
matter of appropriation. The executive
branch of the government would have NJ
opticn in the matter. Only inadequate
appropriation prevents full compliance
and the precipitation of complications will
China that would result seriously and per
haps in war.
