Life tables have been compiled from
the mortality returns of various periods
of time showing that ut birth the cx-
pectation of life covers more years IN
the case of the female than in that of
the male. These tables also show that
at succeeding ages the female lead Is
maintained. But tabulatiOn has Just
been made that will interest others
than scientists, statisticians and life in
surance agents, and which, though the
data are not very extensive, goes to
confirm the results reached in the So
called standard life tables. A leading
journal has compiled all the cases of
notable longevity recorded in its own
columns during the year 1892. OF ll5l
octogenarians GAG are women and only
500 are men. Above eighty at nearly
oil ages the returns continue to favor
the women; and of six centenariansall
but one are women. This does not
prove that women are happier than
men, but it is a good indication that as
a rule they live longer. And though
the most reasonable presumption IS
that this is because they enjoy an
easier life than men, the average
woman will doubtless continue to wish
that she had been born man.

PENSION MATTERS.

Every man who served In the war and
who cannot earn living is entitled to
pension. We people can afford to be
generous to the little and big boys who
went to the front In 81 and took chances
for good sized bullet and an early grave.
II they didn't get the bullet or the grave
they stood up and did some good. That
10 putting 1t as mildly as possible. When
the majority of us were boys between five
and ten years of age the "cbaps" went to
the front and fought for the ,ountry.
They were "bully- boys" then. They are
our pride now, God bless them. They can
have the whole commssary department
now. So, when one of the old soldiers is
laid up, give him his pension. OF course,
we don't expect a war soon. But who
knows7 We have got to protect our peo-
ple's interests and our country's honor
the world over and "Johnny," the
eighteen and twenty year-old boy, will
face the light and come "marchipy home"
again.
The best way to promote patriotism is
to show that the people will pay those
who have risked their lives for the coun-
try. That encourages others.
The proposed attempt OF the Pension
Department to take away some pensions
occasions this article and we trust that
our contemporaries will give IT considera-
tion.
We believe that person who has done
what the law requires and who has got a
pension Is not obliged to again prove the
righteousness of that clsim. We believe
that the government must in law prove
that the pensioner Is not entitled to what
he has already as a granted right, or, as
lawyers put II, ga possession" which re-
quires the other side to prove It's case,
Any ruling OF the Pension Department to
make pensioners again prove the justice
of their claims Is not law.
1t IL incumbent on the department tc
show thst the pension is Illegally granted
Any order to the contrary will not stand
the test.
We trust that such good lawyer al
Judge Lochran will see the point.
There can be no doubt of Presiden,
Clsvslaud's common sense In the prem
isee.

Comedian leHerson's Lie Threatened by a
Mysterious kffliction.

New YORK, July A-The Press says:
Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor, is
near death, and cancerous affection OF
the neck il the cause of it, Mr.. Jefferson's
physicians have been so far steadily
bafIled by his disease, which is attributed
partly TO an inherited tendency and partly
to carelessness In the treatment Of boil
that appeared near his cervical vertabrae
some time ago.
However, the general mystery thrown
about the malady renders an accurate
diagnosis almost impossible to obtain.
Curious enough, the secret nearly leaked
out week ago, and through misunder-
standing the comedians warm friend,
President Cleveland, was credited with
cancerous trouble instead Of Mr.. Jeffer-
son.

off the worst for some time to come, but

The new home rule parliament that is
to come will embody the reality of mod
ern liberty In this old ''enchanted palace"
30 closely associated with the memories
of Ireland of the past.
with ell It's grand and poetic memories,
however, the old parliament OF 1882, even
In the eliminating days OF its power and
influence was not a parliament OF the
whole people. Men who held the Roman
Catholic faith were excluded to the last.
To greater or less extent 1t voiced the
national feeling, but was far greater In
the possibilities which its existence i'm.
piled than In the actual results 1t was able
to achieve.
The new Irish Parliament when, II ever,
called into existence under the present
bill, is to have a grander mission, pro.
vided the Irish members do not allow
their powers to be cut of by too much
su subserviency, than could be fulfilled by
the old parliament which is associated
with the names of Grattan and Castle
reagh.
1t is the people OF Ireland who are to be
represented In the new Irish legislature.
The poor tenant farmer and the day IA
borer will have their intaxests represented
there, as well as the shopkeeper and the
land -owner. The field Of popular rights
takes In the entire masses and covers
vastly more than the conceptions Of 100
years ago embraced. When home rule
for Ireland becomes fact-and the day
of its triumph is already dawning-her
chief city will be the assembling place OF
a legislature that will stand for justice,
reaching out to all classes and conditions
OF men, irrespective of creed, rank or oc-
cupation.

ON COLLEGE GREEN.

While Il is hardly thought by the most
sanguine or enthusiastic friend Of Ire
land that Home Rule is certainty this
year, still the introduction by Mr.. Glad
stone last Friday evening Of the last
clauses needed to perfect the bill, and
which are the vital ones, being the nnan-
cial clauses, brings the subject within
measurable d,.ssnce, at least so far as the
House of Commons is concerned.
II win be admitted, then, that the old
Parliament house in Dublin will have q
peculiar interest for Irish tourists this
year. II still stands with its classic col
uups on College green. I'm cheerful contrast

The woonsocket Reporter says that II
does not know that the American Me-
chanic IL a Knownothing society. We
are sorry for our contemporary. Every
one else knows 1t. We have published
extracts from its constitution, letter for
letter. How we got the copy OF the con-
stitution and the accompanying rules
with the flag on the outside is our busi-
ness.
The very beginning OF the preamble OF
the order says that the influence OF the
"foreigners" must be overcome. But 1t
10 In the initiation OF members that full
scope is given. Then the member Is fully
instructed and warned against Catholics.
The organization don't care a cent
whether man 10 foreigner or not II he
is not q Catholic. Opposition to Catho-
licity Is its sole reason for being, but
It's leaders would even truckle to
them II they could get office
and money. II is led by lot Of cheap
politicians-too cheap for recognition
only when a respectable man wants to
kick them out of the way.
1t is un.American and christian. 1t
is opposed to the constitution and the
fundamental idea of the country which
invites all races and religions to come into
the folds OF our common flag. We don't
care what church Pond and Roman
attend. Every man has right to bis
own religious opinion, but no man or So
