man who is borne upon the pension rolls
has clear title to the pension which is
allowed him. OF course it may be that
such presumption is not in accordance
with the fact. 1t may be that the mans
name has been fraudulently placed there
and that in reality it ought to come off.
But being there the burden is fairly upon
the government to show that it ought
not to be there. Obviously it is gross
injustice to the pensioner to assume that
it ought not to be there and compel him
to go to the expense and trouble to prove
that it is there rightfully Furthermore,
such an assumption is an impeachment OF
the management of the pension office and
almost tantamount to declaration that
the names borne upon the rolls are just as
likely to have got there through fraud as
through honest merit. Secretary Smith
or Commissioner Lochren, or whoever 1t
was that detected the injustice OF the
first order and brought about it's correc-
ton is entitled to credit. The depart
ment should go one step further, how
ever, and restore to the rolls the names
of the men which have already been re-
moved on suspicion. The entire blunder
will not have been corrected until this is
done.
The old soldiers of this country will
make no objection to any honest and fair
effort to purge the pension rolls. 1t is
undoubtedly true that they bear the
names of men that ought not to be there.
In the administration of the great bureau
it was inevitable that mistakes should
be made, that it's officers should some
times be imposed upon. Let these mis-
takes be corrected as far as possible.
Let the men who have imposed upon the
bureau be sternly dealt with. But let
these things be done in way that
will not work injustice to the Innocent,
to those who are fully deserving OF all
they receive from the government. 1t
mnst always be borne in mind that a
pension is not gratuity, it is not chart
ty, but recompense, and oftentimess very
inadequate recompense, for services rem
dered the country. A pension is debt
which the country owes, and which
morally at least is just as binding upon
us as if it was represented by bond
with the promise of the government
stamped upon it, It is just as unfair
and unjust to compel the pensioner
whose name is upon the rolls to provo
that it is rightfully there as it would
be to compel the man who presented a
bond for payment to prove affirmatively
that it was not counterfeit or that he
had come by it lawfully.

1t is probably matter of little conse-
quence whether the committee on Ways

revision of the tariff or not. Their pur-
pose is definitely formed, and there are
many reasons for believing that the bill
is virtually prepared. Nothing that
manufacturers may say will be likely
to change it. But it will look better to give

The Populist cranks, of whom Gov.
Llewelling of Kansas appears to be
the chssi spokesman, are preparing to
hold their secession convention on the
18th of this month. They say one of
their chief objects is to arrange for a
direct trade with Europe through the
gulf ports, without the East as interme-
diary. To carry on trade with any
body great while these gentlemen will
probably find it necessary to revise and
reform their code of commercial ethics.
They will find that deprecated cur
rency is just as obnoxious to the people of
Europe as to the people of the Eastern
part of the United States against whom
they are now so much incensed, They
viii soon ascertain also that Europeans
are no more anxious to invest their
money where the laws are designed with
a view of giving abundant protection to
the debtor and none to the creditor than
are the Eastern gold bugs whom they
rave about so much. They will find they
have got to be honest men to trade with
Europe or anybody else, and that is what
apparently they dc not want to be.
When they reform themselves, they

The Crane Won the First Bout, But
the Dog Had the Honors in the Next
Struggle.
From the New York Sun.

Scranton, Dec. 23.-In the fall a big
white crane got in the habit of stealing
fish from Mrs. Myra Hooker's carp pond
in Sickler's creek. The long-legged bird
was 50 handsome that Mrs. Hooker liked
to look at it, and as there were a good
many more carp in the pond than she
could make use of, she let the crane come
around and help itself to fish as often as
1t pleased. Before long the crane saw
that Mrs. Hooker meant to be friendly,
for, instead of stealing up to the pond as
it had done at first it alighted near the
pond as though it had a right to, waded
in leisurely, and soon sailed off to the
swamp with carp Topping in its strong
jaws.
Within fortnight Mrs. Hooker's mon
grel dog Dick began to take dislike to
the big bird, and one morning he laid plans
to nab it. He hid in some weeds and when
the crane alighted he sprang out at it,
and met with the sorriest surprise of his
life. Dick made miss and the spunky
bird hammered him on the head with its
long bill, licked him in less than a
minute, and sent him bowling to the
house with his left eye badly bunged up.
Mrs. Hooker saw the lively spat and went
to Dick assistance. She began to doctor
the wounded eye, but her tender nursing
was in vain, for the cranes bill had
pierced the center of the optic, and the
sight was destroyed.
Dick kept away from the pond and did
good deal of thinking while his wound
was healing. He must have made up his
mind to have revenge on the crane, Mrs.
Hooker said, for as soon as his eye got
well he crawled under root at the edge
of the pond one morning and concealed
himself till the crane wadded in, raised
one foot, and pretended to be DOING
when he made spring and caught it by
the neck. The crane kicked and Topped
its wings, but Dick had good hold, and
he hauled the straEgled fish thief out of
the water, dragged it around the meadow
on canter till he had choked it to death,
and then snaked 1t to the dooryard, where
he danced and barked around it in
triumph that he had killed the enemy
that had put out his eye.

Burning Bank of England Notes.

With the bank of England, the destruc-
ton of its notes takes place about once a
week, and at Z p. m. 1t used TO be done

that the neighboring stock brokers petit
toned the governors to do it in the even
ing. The notes are previously Cancelled

of the chief cashier. The notes are burned
in closed furnace, and the only agency
employed is shavings and bundles of
wood. They used to be burned in a cage
the result of which was that once q week
the city was darkened with burned frag-
ments of notes. For future purposes Of
reference, the notes are left for five years
before being burned
The number of notes coming into the
Bank of England every day is about So
600, and 100000 are destroyed every week,
or something like is, 100000 every year.
The stock of paid notes for five years is
about 77,745,000 in number, and they fill
l3,400 boxes, which, if placed side by sid E.,
would reach two and one-third miles. If
the notes were placed in pile tn ey would
