HIT AND MISS BRIEFS.

Ii is exceedingly satisfactory to note
the almost universal spirit of pride which
Americans OF all classes are taking in
the great Chicago fair. Whatever sec
tional prejudices may have ranked
when the question II location arose
have long since been dropped. and the
only desire now is TO make the event an
unqualified success and fact worth
chronicling Ia the history Of our coun-
try Washington News.
Europe seems to be more peacefully
disposed at this time than it has been
nj some other time not FAR In the past
The nations over there had better not
begin fighting. Ii would be dangerous
Tor them 10 do so. All the rulers declare
that they are anxious for the mainten-
ance of peace; they will show sound
sense by maintaining it-New York
Sun.
Instead Of there being no good thing
IN Canada. We believe, and the OPPOSE
ton should believe. that its people,
artisans. city dwellers and farmers. are
individually and generally great deal
better of than are their southern neigh
bors, besides having superior institu-
tons. better laws and higher code Of
morals.-Toronto Empire.

charging its extravaganza to the legisia-
ton Of the fifty first congress. then the
latter congress can make similar claims
against its democrat predecessor and the
fifty-second congress aggregating over
9l.0o0.0oo.
To guard against deficit. Mr.. Hen
derson warns this administration to give
closer attention TO "moonshiners' and
the whisky ring" in collecting internal
revenue than il did from 1880 To 1889.
when il collected e5l .095, 0i less than
President Arthur. and sll5s5S, 52I.s3
less than President Harrison. lie shows
that the retiring administration paid

Maximum OF Pension List.
He touches on pensions. showing from
TIE pension bureau that the rolls will
reach their highest paint on December
81. 1894. with Sl,l71.9lS on the rolls, in
Guiding invalids. widows. orphans and
dependent parents. the annual value OF
the rolls at that date being elJj. 800 o9i.
That in 1895 there viii be dropped from
the rolls 4i.932 pensioners, with an in
creasing ratio thereafter.
Referring TO the complaint against
widows pensions. he shows that il all
widows claims yet undisposed Of are al
lowed. there would be 709s.}i dead sol
dicrs unrepresented on the rolls by a

rent. He also points out the danger 10
the treasury from war claims and says
that congress now has the date to show
that about s60o.0o0.oo0 may yet be
drawn from ii TO satisfy their demands.
Mr.. Henderson predicts that the fifty

one knows how much DAILY is worth.
lie ownes bank or so, and electric
railroad, big hotel, something like
million dollars worth of horses and
lands, and he has, am told, one
fourth interest in the Anaconda copper
mines, which are the biggest and best
paying of any in the known universe.
The army Of employees who work under
him Is as large in number as tina, which
Xenophon led In the famous retreat
described in the Anabasis, and his pay
roll runs into the tens Of thousands OF
dollars per day. Still, he came to the
United States poor boy, and when he
landed at San Francisco at the age OF
thirteen he had not a cent In his pocket,
and he trotied up and down the board
walks for three or four days seeking a
job. He looked in vain, until at about
the end Of the fourth day he saw an old
farmer in wagon driving through the
streets. He stopped him and said,
Haven't you got something out at your
place that Can dor"
We'll, don't know, young man.
What can you dor"

DAILY.
"Can you dig tatersl"
"Yes, can" said DAILY, and the man
thereupon told him to get into the
wagon and he took the boy home to his
ranch. This was some place east OF
Oakland and DAILY dug potatoes for the
