ATTENTION has been called to the
fact that Mr.. Cleveland'S first COM
missioner of pensions is drawing $75 a
month for total disability" though
he is able to earn 5000 year as a
member of congress, and has a snug
private fortune besides. This is the
case which the Chicago Inter Ocean re-
ferred to some days ago, and stated
that the people in general did not
want Gen. Black deprived of his pen

cases the Democrats have been howl

taking it into consideration. If such
cases are to be excluded from the

NUMBER 48
A BAD BLUNDER.

The last legislature passed new
game law, which was known as Senate
File l34, and after the session Gov.
Nelson signed it. This bill was the
product of the State game aud fish
commission, and was designed to cure
certain defects in the existing law:
but it contained a very ridiculous
blunder. 1t was the intention to
have the open season for ducks from
Sept. to April % and the close sea-
son from April 25 to Sept. l. ducks,
geese, brant, snipe. and other aquatic
fowl may be shot now at will, but up
on Sept. 1, when the duck season usual

ducks orany other aquatic fowl. War
den Andrus knew of the blunder, but
urged the governor to sign 1T notwith-
standing, claiming the other features
were more important. Commits Sioner
Timberlake took the same view, and
also asked the executive to make the
blunder law. and so it was done.
What will be the result? Warden
Andrus thinks nobody will shoot ducks
in the summer, anyway, and adds,
sagely, that officials ''can wink at the
shooting in the regular season, everif
it is against the law" So there you
are st. Paul Globe.

SOME of The papers are beginning to
speculate as to whether the Worlds
Fair will pay expenses. This was
caused by the small attendance dur
ing the last two or three days, which
was occasioDed by the bad weather
and the condition the fair is in at
present. Give. the great Exposition
a chance in the shape of good
weather and settled condition of af-
fairs inside the gates and the out
pouring Of the people will settle the
question as to whether it Will pay ex-
penSeS or not.
The cOnStitutionality of the Chi
nese exclusion law will be tested in

WHILE President Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham, urged on by their
free trade compatriots, are preparing
to tear reciprocity up from the roots,
they should not lose sight of the fact
that the British Iron Trade Associa-
tion is calling the attention of the
British Secretary of foreign affairs to
the fact American goods have obtain
ed control Of the Cuban markets
through our treaty with Spain as to
that island. The tearing out of reci-
procity means the giving up of this
control, and allowing England to OBJ
tain mastery again. Possibly that is
what the free traders want, however.

THE rude answer which Gov. Pen
noyer, of Oregon, returned to Secre-
tary Gresham's note, suggesting that
he do his part toward carrying out the
provisions of the Chinese exclusion
bill, to the effect that he would attend
to his business, and for Cleveland to
look after hist one of those instances
which lead to the belief in the east OF
the existence of a "wild and woolly
west" 1t is cheering to note, how
ever, that there are very few Penney
ers, and that they are hardly more
common in the west than elsewhere.

THE IMMIGRATION QUEST ION

The immigration statistics for the
first quarter of 1898, show quite fall
ing off in the number of immigrants
coming to our shores, over the same
period for 1892. The number coming
this year being 70,03S against 9S,0O4
for last year. Not only is the sum to-
tai reduced, but there are also less
among them of those known as unde-
sirable. The number from Russia fell
off one-fourth, from Hungary about
One-third, and from Poland about one
sixth. On the other hand the immi-
grafton from Ireland has nearly
doubled, England, Wales, Norway and
Sweden remain about the same, Ger
many has decreased slightly, while
Italy shows slight increase. This
kind of change in the records" says
the Pioneer Press, "is cheering and
Will tend to allay to great extent the
strong feeling against immigration in
general which prevailed almost every
where a year ago, and especially when
the danger of a visitation from cholera
seemed imminent. 1T seems probable,
too, that the present improvement is
due in some measure, to increased
carefulneSs on the part of the officials
on both sides of the water" This
improvement will continue so long as
the law is strictly enforced, and pub
lie sentiment should, and no doubt
will, demand that strict observance
of it be carried out. 1t is probable
that the sentiment which was created
by the experience last fall with the
cholera, served as a most benifcent
lesson to the steamship companies, and
in connection with the new law which
has just taken effect, may serve to
correct the abuses which have been
complained against.
