THE BOHEMIANs IN AMERICA.

That a large proportion Of the people
Of the United States are Bohemians. is
the very general opinion Of most men,
and they undoubtedly have their news
paper organs, being such journals as
Town Topics" the police Gazette"
and Sporting Life" CHANGING over our
exchanges a day or so back. however,
we we're very much surprised at coming
upon a Bohemian organ of very diff
ferent character. 1.-THE Bohemian Voice"
which Is a journal of a very earnest and
serious kind that claims to be the organ
of the Observation-Disclosures in the United
States. II is still more surprising that
journal making this claim should be pub
fished at Omaha, Nebraska. but such
is the fact. Altogether the discovery In
formed us Of number Of facts very in
teresting to us and to us quite new.
In answer to letter addressed to the
editor by Mr.. II. A. Bowen, of Syracuse.
New York, asking him How about the
Bohemians in the United States? Don't
they mostly belong TO the laboring
classes? Where are. they found?" he re-
plies in his issue of January !, 1888:
while most of the immigrants from Be-

ton, excessive taxation. bad years and
low wages" He tells us that the occu-
pations the Bohemians are engaged in are
various. That while it is true that large
numbers Of them are cigar makers In
New York, taiiors in Baltimore, paper
and roller mill hands in Cleveland, lum-
Der and stock yard hands in Chicago the
majority of them will be found working

business men. mechanics, bankers and
professional men. AS general rule. he
says. the Bohemians do not take kindly
to work on railways. canals. &c. and the
number of those employed in this line OF
work is very inconsiderabie. He says
their natural inclination is towards agri-
culture. and that he believes the num-

other foreign nationality. and this. we
say. Is good.
The Bohemian American. he tells us,
Is not a devout believer. which he thinks
remarkable as almost without exception
he was brought up In tho Catholic
Church.
The census Of 1890 shows. he says, that
of the population of the kingdom Of Bo-
hemia, b,6l22s7 were Catholics (Which
sounds strangely about the land OF John
Hrs), ss.7S7 were Professionals Of the Hell
vetlan, and C0,737 OF the Augsburg Con-
LESSONS, and 94.479 were Jews. The Boz
hemians in the United States and their
descendants he estimates at between
$50 900 and 10000, and OF these he does
not think that more than 80 per cent.
have remained Catholics. Altogether.
our editor has supplied us with many
facts concerning very considerable body
OF our population. Of whom we knew
heretofore absolutely nothing. and facts
Of very interesting character.
He tells us that the Austrian govern
the stream Of immigration by ricturing
America in the blacklist coIors In the
official and semi-official newspapers, but
that the letters received at home from
those who have emigrated here coun-
teract government Influences AMI Keep
the stream moving steadily hitherward.
We all remember the controversy be-
tween Corporal Trim and Uncle Toby
over the question whether Bohemia mad
any sea-ports. and we must admit that
Uncle Toby triumphed in that discussion
and established the fact beyound any
power Of successful contradiction that
the country had none. Seeing that TINS
is the case, we should have thought that
the emperor Of Austria could restrain the
mjer ating propensities of his bohemian
subjects, but after reading our editor we
are rather glad that he Is unable to DO
so. for he has convinced us that Bohemia
sends MS many who make excellent addi-
lions TO our population.

THE FRAUDULENT PENSION LIST.

IHE tNat DtLGNi NStN'iV-F hi'''
In 1879, when Commissioner Bentley was
head Of the Pension Bureau. he sent
letter 20 the Senate. in which he said:
while / do not believe II possible TO
eliminate from the pension rolls all the
fraudulent claims, by any manner Of
means, yet, considering the whole case.
Il is my opinion that not less than ten
per cent. of the pension appropriations
are paid out upon fraudulent and Illegal
claims. which by the adoption of a proper
method for the preparation and presenta-
ton OF the evidence in support OF the
cases would be saved TO the Government
and the people"
This letter was written at time when
there were 223.9SS names on the pension
rolls. and when the money appropriated
for pensions amounted TO what was then
considered the enormous sum of s26,S44 AIS.
II not less than ten per cent. of the
money paid out for pensions then was
upon fraudulent and illegal claims,
what must be the condition Of affairs
now, when over 900 names are on the
list, and it takes $500. 900 to satisfy the
claims? The Democratic party will have
a very rotten system to deal with when
1t begins to attack the present Republi-
can pension infamy.

IS that Mr.. ThurmSn was victim of the

letters In his name. etc. Whereupon the
Memphis Commercial knocks the theory
of this smart Aleck into atoms as follows:
"As Allen G.. Thurman had thirteen let

OF November. 1913, when he was elected
a Judge and when he was elected to the
Senate, and as ne has on the whole had
a successful career and lived a happy life
to a good old age, there is very little
comfort for the thirteen fool in his his
