Where the Heavy Taxes Go.
From Harner,s Magazine.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891,
the United States paid on account of pensions
S1l8, 54S, 959.7l, nearly one third the total
ordinary disbursements for the year. The
appropriation for the current year is $780,
ara, OS5, and the estimate for 1928 is
$500 900. An item SO large must, of
course, be AN influential factor in determin-
ing the fiscal policy of the government.
Systems of revenue must be SO adjusted as to
make provision for it, and in the regulation
of the currency the annual outpouring Of such
a sum into general circulation is an important
consideration. A branch of our national
administration so vast IN its transactions and
so far-reaching in its effect ought, 1t would
seem, to be well understood by our citizens
in its history and development as well as
in its present state. But such is not the fact.
The subject has not engaged the careful at
tention of students, intelligent citizens who
are well.informed upon the tariff and the
currency have but vague and general know
ledge of the pension system. This field has
been abandoned quite too far to those who
have occupied it from partisan Or pecuniary
motives The increased expenditures arising
from the pension legislation of the Fifty first
Congress have attracted general notice, and
there is reason to believe that the people are
at last disposed to inform themselves concern
ing the chief item in the nation annual bud
get.
The pension system of the United States
which-including the appropriation for the
current year-has taken from the Treasury
more than billion and half Of dollars
lover "a per cent. having been paid out since
1861, had its rise August 26, 17T6, in reso-
luton of the Continental Congress providing
tina ts'every commissioned officer, nom COM
missioned officer, and private soldier who
shall lose a limb in any engagement, or
be so disabled in the service of the
United States Of America as TO render him
incapable of afterwards getting q livelihood,
shall receive during his life or the continuance
Of such disability the one.half Of his monthly
pay from and after the time that his pay as
an officer Tor soldier ceases The monthly
pay of a captain of infantry in active service
was $2G. 66s and that of a private was $685..
The benefits of the resolution were also ex
tended to officers, marines, and seamen serv-
ing upon armed vessels. Claims were to be
adjusted through the legislative bodies Of the
State where the applicants resided which
were authorized to make proportionate allow
ances in cases of less than total disability
In 1872 maximum pension Of s. per month
was granted to disabled privates and non
commissioned officers in lieu of half pay. On
account of the inability Of Congress to raise
money by taxation, the States in l775 under
took the payment of pensions until the adop-
ton of the Constitution made it possible for
the General Government to perform this fun
ction.

Not in Love With Dakota
From the washington Post.


Representative Catchings of Mississippi
said the other day: 81 used to be interested
in Dakota wheat farm. 1t is great coun-
try in the spring and summer. The days are
so long that have shat prairie chickens at
nine n. m. 1t is easy to sit in the front yard
and read newspaper at $50 in the evening.
1t is bright daylight at three a. m. But in
the winter it is terrific. The horse were kept
from freezing in the stables only by banking
manure half way up the side of the building.
They got real fat in there. The hostler lived
a hundred yards away. There was stout
rope stretched from his house to the stable
door. He could never else have found his
way in the binding storms. That country is
so far north that the rivers all run that way,
owing, may be, to the curve ofthe earth. The
land of the feecy cotton, the sugar cane that
is nearly black in its richness, the glowing
sunsets, the soft winds, and the scent of the
magnolia blossom upon the air for me. No
more Dakota"

Sure Cure for Hog Cholera.

j. A. Dodge writes to the Texas Live
Stock and Farm Journal as follows:
Put one-half teaspoonful of pure car
bolic acid in gill of sweet milk, and pour
it down the hog. When the farmer sees
any symptoms of cholera among his hogs.
especially when one or two have died,
drive every hog and pig into very close
pen, let one man catch the hog by tho
ears and sit the hog up with his back be-
tween his legs, while another man opens
the hog mouth with stick, and the medi-
cine, being in a long-neck, heavy bottle, is
easily poured down. Care should be taken
not to dose one twice. Twice the amount
will kill, and every hog, sick or well, on
the farm and surrounding farms, should
be dosed.

The present ice bound condition of the
river recalls an interesting railroad item that
came to pass in the winter Of 1852. The
Susqnehanna River was hard frozen and the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company built a track across the
river at Havre-de.Grace on the ice. The
track was completed on January 10, 1852,
and was in use until February "a. One thou
sand three hundred and seventy-eight cars
were hauled over the track without injury to
passengers. Ten thousand tons of freight
were transported over the track on the ice
