WE TURN AGAIN.

Christmas Is here again.
Doesn't il come around often?
Age, 1t seems, sears things and repeats
itself with charming and almost cheerful
spontaneity.
After all is said and done Christmas has
become with most men almost a chest
nut. The Sons OF men have allowed them
selves to be allured by a cheap species of
sentiment until the whole day and its
festivities become q sort Of cheaper
business.
The GLOBE sees nothing of the ideal
In a Christmas like this. 1t seems rather
to salute and recognize the Absolute,
which means hustling. THE GLOBE
marvels at the incredibly Of man, and
wonders why Christmas should be a time
OF Thanksgiving unless there were really
something to be thankful for.
The pessimists and the optimest have
ideals-and thinks he thinks and others
think be thinks.
And so are all at variance with the
world.
And so it is that on this day Of days
many men believe hat Christ was born
and that Judean shepherds were shown
the way.
And accordingly it has become the Gus
tom that much monkey work can be in
dulged in.
That is TO say that there can be much
hilarity and that men can drink eggnog
and raise-but the deduction OF all our
logic is to the fact when all is told and
done that human nature is human nature.

lands Message.
On the 3Oth day of June, 1898, there
were On the pension rolls 966 OLE names,
an increase of S9,944 over the number on
the rolls June 80. 1892. OF these were
II widows and daughters of revolutionary
soldiers; sc survivors of the war of 1912
1926 widows of soldiers of that war
21,519 survivors and widows of the Next
can war; 1889 survivors and widows of
Indian wars; 2S4 army nurses and 4S5 Gas
survivors and widows and children of
deceased soldiers and sailors of the war
Of the rebellion. The latter number rep
resents those pensiOned on account of
disabilities or death resulting from army
and navy service. The number of per
sons remaining on the rolls June 80, 1898,
who were pensioned under the act Of
June q, 1890, which allows pensions on
account of death and disability not charg-
able to army service, vas 450,155.
The number added to the rolls during
the year was 123,634 and the number
dropped was $780,. The first payments
on pensions allowed during the year
amounted to S33, 756,549 90. This includes
arrears or the accumulation between the
time from which the allowance of pen
sion and the time Of actually granting
the certificate. Although the law of 1890
permits pensions for disabilities not re-
lated TO military service, yet as q requi-
site to its benefits a disability must exist
in capacitating applicants from the per-
Torrance Of manual labor TO such a de-
gree as to render them unable to earn a
support"
The execution Of this law in its early
stages does not seem to have been In &C
cord with its true intentions, but toward
the close Of the last administration an
authoritative construction was given to
the statute, and since that time this con-
struction has beer followed. This has
had the effect of limiting the operation
of the law to its intended purpose.
The sum expended on account Of pen
sions for the year ending June 30, 1898
was 1856, 74O,467 IA.
The commissioner estimates that
Sl65, O00, 900 will be required TO pay pen
sious during the year ending June 80,

which Italian and Irish laboIers and
policemen participated.
Many of the fighters were badly injured.
The Italians were preparing TO knock off
work on the City Railroad contract. when
Inspector Cussick became involved in an
alteration with Padrone Sugaretto. Gus
sick knocked the Italian down twice. A
dozen Italians rushed to his assistance.
This led to battle, both gangs taking
sides in the melee. The men were armed
with axes, spades. iron rivets and pick
axes. and furious fight followed. The
police were soon on the scene, but the
Italians showed no intention OF desisting,
and turning on the officers began TO fight
them. Re-enforcements of police arrived
and surrounded the combatauts ana they
surrendered. The police arrested twenty
men. Four were severely wounded and
taken to the City Hospital. Almost all of
the four hundred rioters suffered cuts and
bruises.

FOUND IN THE WATER.
Looks Like a Murder at Sau-
salito.
The Body of a SeaIer Taken From
the Bay Under Mysterious
circumstances.

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 24.-Coroner Eden
received a message this morning that a
man was found dead at Sausalito. Ac-
cording to what can be learned there is a
mystery connected with his death.
Last evening John Quist, which was the
name of the deceased, was around at Sau-
salito. He came from sealing trip several
days ago, and first started by getting
pretty full OF Sausalito whisky. he then
purchased a new suit of clothes and wan
dered around town for several days. Yes
terday he passed most of his time around
:he different saloons.
He was seen last night about IL O'Clock
in company with two other men. whose
names cannot be learned at present, going
toward OLD Sansalito. 1t is reported that
when the Trio reached the San Francisco
Clubhouse on the water front loud talk
ing was INDUCED in, after which some
noise was heard as if there was struggle
going on. Then everything was quiet.
This morning about o'clock Mr.. Nor
gan. keeper of the Government reservation
near Lime Point, found The remains of a
man floating in the water. He immedi-
ately procured assistance and had the body
brought to shore, where 1t proved to be
that of John Quist, a native of Sweden.
The remains are here at the morgue.

RIO AGAIN BLOCKADED.
The Brazilian Situation Is Again

NEW YORK. Sept. PA Herald Monte
vIdeO correspondent cables: Admiral
MelIo, commanding the Rebel fleet of

Rio Janeiro, so the latest dispatches
from that city states, and is now organiz-
ing SQUADRON to sail for the northern

is first of all Para Ru,.
Barbosa. who recently esca ped from Rio.
has written letter in which he says the
navy under MellG is defending the rights
of the Brazilian people against President
Peixoto's military tyranny and despotic

The Herald's Bueuos Ayres dispatch
says: The situation here is extremely
grave. The Government apparently fears
a combined action by army officers of high
rank and the naval commanders. Many
removals are taking place.
Chief of Police Aliens has resigned on
the plea of illness. The chief OF artillery
has teen removed because ne is Radical.
The Radicals say they will prolong the
agitation until Pena resigns.
A fight between the revoIters and part
OF Bosch's troops occurred at Santiago del

WHEN GROVER IS ARRAIGNED
There Is a Prospect of Some
Sharp RejOinders.
A SURPRISE FOR ECONOMISTS
CfIairmen Who Have Been Deprived
of Clerks Will Attempt to Reduce
the Mileage Allowance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. M-The Senate this
week will be given up entirely to speech
making unless the unexpected should
happen. There is no chance for material
change In the programme unless it should
come through a compromise.
A small storm-cloud is in the horizon for
tomorrow in the shape of Senator
Stewards resolution concerning the duties
of various branches of the Government.
1t is understood to be the intention of the
Nevada Senator to arraign the President
for an alleged interference with Con-
gressional duties. If the other Senators
should desire TO express themselves upon
the subject the desire may provoke some
sharp rejoinders.
There will also probably be other reso-
lutiOns up for debate for the first hour or
two during the daily sessions at differen
times during the week. Dubois, although
scheduled to speak Tuesday, will in all
probability give way to Senator Perkins
and will not speak until later. Perkins
will suggest compromise looking to the
coinage OF the American product of silver
with duty upon foreign silver.
Jones of Nevada may speak during the
week. aud il is understood when he takes
the floor he will keep it for two or three
days.
The House will devote its entire atten-
tion for the coming week. excepting to-
morrow. to the Tucker bill for the repeal
of the Federal election law. The debate
will run. according to the special order
adopted Friday. until Thursday, October
9. 1t is probable the debate will be of an
exceedingly lively character. Some Demo-
cratic members who hold chairmanships
Of unimportant committees that were de-
prived of clerks by 'econ Omists" and
'reformers" are arranging a surprise to
meet the economical platform. They in
tend to offer bill or resolution TO abolish,
or at least, cut down the mileage allowance
of members.
Under the present law members receive
twenty cents per mile for each mile trav-
eed to and from Washington. To East
ern members this allowance amounts to a
comparatively small sum, but 20 those WIN
are obliged to travel from 1000 to 5000
miles the item is of some consequence.
reduction in the mileage allowance
would not affect the Eastern member to
any great extent, and now they propose to
see in a practical way whether those who
have been conspicuous in cutting off clerks
will vote to reduce mileage.

HAVE LESS CONFIDENCE.
There Is No Telling When the Repeal
Vote Will Be Reached.

WASHINGTON. Sept 24-The situation
in the Senate fails TO give encouragement
for those who are making a battle for an
unconditional repeal. The repeal forces
are apparently no nearer victory than ten
days ago, and 1t does not appear they nave
made an effort in the Senate for two
weeks. The prospect for an unconditional
repeal is not so bright as when the repeal
bill passed the House. The repeal Sena-
tors have apparently lost confidence, and
the aDti-Tepeal Senators have Tegained all
the courage they lost after the passage Of
the measure by the House. Two weeks
ago it was mysteriOusly rumored the repeal
advocates might demand a vote at any
hour and rush the measure through the
Senate, but no advocate of repeal can be
found who will predict with any conf
dence that the inal vote will be reached
before the middle of October, and vet the
numerical strength of the repealers is as
strong in the Senate to-day as three weeks
ago. They have an undoubted majority
probably about three-ffths-and there can
be no question of the result when final
vote is reached, but when the vote will
come is great mystery of the future.
