PENSION T1ONEY AND FEDERAL
TAXES.

An impression has prevailed in all parts
of the country that the pension laws bear
especially hard on the South-that the
Government got large revenue from that
section and returned little in the way of
pensions. Corporal James Tanner has
recently made a statement which shows
this impression to be incorrect The rev.
enue drawn from several States in the
form of revenue taxes is compared with
the mount paid to the same States in the
form of pensions. In Texas the sum of
S965,230 was paid for pensions last year
and but S606,375 received from taxes.
South Carolina received Sill. 129 in PEN
sions and paid S71,812 in revenue taxes.
Tennessee received about twice as much
as she contributed. the pensions amount
ing to So 434. sos and the taxes to $1,27S,-
S62. Alabama got $500. 729 and paid S1O6.
III. West Virginia got S2.l5S 7O7 and paid
SS07,5S8. Grouping the other Southern
States together the pensions they receive
are considerably in excess OF the aggregate
of the revenue tax. or course, no defense
will be made of law which taxes the
people 10 obtain money to distribute
among paopie who have done nothing for
it, but the large sum the Government pays
out annually in the form of pensions is
not wasted.
1t relieves the States of what would 9TH
erwise be a heavy burden. In most cases
the pensioners depend upon their pensions
and every dollar Of it is returned to the
channels of trade. In large proportion
of cases if aid did not come from the Fed
eral Government it would have to come
from the counties and towns in the form
of direct tax. The Federal Government
gets its revenue indirectly and largely
from taxes which are not burden to the
people. The internal revenue is derived
almost entirely from taxes on whisky and
tobacco. Enough comes from these
sources to pay the pension bills. The rev.
enue that comes through the Custom house
is in many instances a benefit rather than
burden 10 the people. 1t Is derived from
duties laid on foreign products, which du-
ties enable our people TO compete in the
manufacture Of such goods. 1t would be
an advantage for the country to collect the
full amount of the pensions through the
Custom house if the money so obtained
was dumped into the sea. Without such a
tax on imported goods our markets would
be held by foreigners who can produce
such goods at less cost than Americans.
While there are undoubtedly percentage
OF pensioners WHO are n ot entitled to place
on the roll of honor the burden of the pen
sion policy Is not half so grievous as some
of our Democratic friends would have US
hatiavp

The royal guests are flocking to the we'd
ding of the Duke Of York in London. It
is only semi-state ceremony, which means
that great deal Of provisioning, gor-
geous robine and flashing display of orders
aud jewels is got rid of. all of which the
public would like to see had they the
chance. But the marriage takes place in
a small chapel. which affords little room
for the few necessary personages who are
TO be there. All because it is net to be in
full panoply. General Gallifet. who led the
final desperate charge at Sedan, and was
chosen ambassador Extraordinary. is not
to be present. and the French are little
huffed in consequence. 1t Is compli-
ment that the Dukes cousin. the heir
apparent to the Russian throne, is to be
one of the guests. The Cz,rowitz Is to
have a week or more of English life. and it
is OF quite in the clouds that at this con-
gress Of royalties the matchmakers may
weave net around him. A good deal of
salute powder will be consumed In the
coming week.

this dime-novel work is showing itself in
the number of train robberies recently
committed or attempted. Travelling in
railroad cars is made about as dangerous
as participating in an average battle. The
feelings OF the susceptible portion OF the
public have become so worked up that it
is an even thing the jury in the Evans and
Sontag case will either acguit or fail to
agree. Freedom of the press is an ad-
mirable thing in its way, but. like other
good things. subject to abuse.

River Excursions.

Manager Charles Il. Kindt, of the
Burtis opera house, at Davenport. is
determined to proved amusement
for the public of the tri-cities in sum-
mer as well as in winter. Last sum
mer through his energy and efforts
a splendid season of summer opera
was enjoyed. Owing to the fact that
the opera house is being extensively
overhauled this summer, such a sea
son of amusement was impossible.
Therefore Mr.. Kindt has made arr
rangements with Capt. McCaffrey
whereby he becomes manager of that
palatial excursion steamer, the Char
lotte Boeckler, and proposes to pro
vide delightful enjoyment in that
line. She has lately been overhauled
and frightened up, and is indeed
luxurious and safe vessel. Her al
lowed carrying capacity is 425 per
sons, who can comfortably be taken
care of. The cabin stateroom is 30x
100, and is provided with an excel
lent dancing floor. Otto's orchestra
cursions to furnish the enlivening
strains.
Manager Kindt proposes to run a
series Oh subscription concert tNCui-
sions, for which Communication books.
containing II tickets. will be sold for
So. These excursions will be to diff
ferent points and will no doubt prove
popular and enjoyable.
The boat viii also be at the SER
vice of societies and parties for eN-
cursionS, and Mr.. Kindt Will always
be pleased to give all information
and make arrangements therefor.
