BEFORE the election of President Cleve-

with the tariff" Since the election it has
been down with pensions" Much has
been said about fraudulent pensioners, !"
but thus far the only fraudulent pension
ers unearthed by the administration are
those put on the roll by Attorney Drewry,
who is serving term in Jail for these
very frauds, and who was imprisoned by
Republican officials many months since.

By THE collapse of Ford's old theatre,
at Washington, on Friday, 81 clerks lost
their lives and large number were in
iured. The building has for many years
been used by the government to relieve
the overcrowded pension department,
and nearly 500 clerks were employed
therein.
1t has been known for years that the
building was unsafe the fact is it was
condemned several years ago. Neverthe-
less it was continued to be used, and
more papers and books were crowded in
to it daily, until tons had been stored
away. On Friday the floors collapsed,
and over one-half of the building now
lies in the cellar.
It seems strange that the United States
government, the richest on the earth,
utilities such man-traps for public service,
particularly when the building has been
condemned. Such action is criminal, and
a disgrace to the country. There will be
heavy bill of damages to pay, but the
loss of life cannot be compensated for. 1t
is sad reflection upon official fidelity to
duty that such catastrophe should occur.

AN authoritative announcement was
made last week by President Cleveland
of his intention to call Congress together
in extra session between the LIST and 10th
of September. OF course it is the inan-
cial situation and the necessity of legisla-
ton thereon which prompt this action.
An extra session has been regarded as in
evitable ever since the new administra-
ton came in, and now MIR. Cleveland
thinks the time has come to let the coun-
try know just what his intention is. His
reluctance to call such session is strange,
when financial failures. such as the coun-
try has not seen for years. are occurring
daily. Cleveland's ''sit down and think'
policy does not relieve the deep-seated
mistrust in financial affairs all over the
country.

BRAZILIAN traders buying cotton goods
in Manchester bear testimony in their own
way to the fact that the Reciprocity treaty
is good thing for American manufacture
ers. They assert that they would prefer
to make all their purchases in England.
but are hindered by the preferential
duties in favor of American goods. That
frank confession indicates that our manu-
facturers have good deal at stake in the
maintenance of the Reciprocity conven-
ton. They have fighting chance for a
large foreign market, SO long as the treaty
remains in force. If the Democratic lead
ers carry out their threats and impose
duties upon sugar and coffee, they viii
play directly into the hands of the British
manufacturers. Then there will be moth
ing to prevent Brazilian merchants from
buying all their goods in Manchester.
