Are Penrionera Uniuatly TreatedP

The ph.a8. nhn Press asserts that

Ar Cleveland s. administration. lt Says
.-f fh.r. arn amy names ol tb, pou-inn
l-t which ought uoj to Dr.. there they cam
rat tc removed too quieE.E But the
method adopted by the Cleveland add
uiHis'aiiouof reducing tine rolls is gross
ly unjust and la direct conflict with the
spirit of The pension laws. Instead of ass
cartaiuiug by investigation whether or
not "a pcusioucr is drawing money 20
which he is not fairly entitled, the ad-
miuis,rltiou has caused thousands Of
names TO be dropped from the rolls on
mere suspicion"
But those dropped from the rolls are
not permanently dropped unless it APP
pears that they are not entitled to pen
sion. What is done is this: the papers Of
a pensioner who draws n pension under
the disability act are examined, and if
they do not show that he is entitled to
the pension he is receiving he is required
to appear before the examining surgeons
for examination. At the same time he is
notified that the payment of his pension
is suspended until the question of his
right to it is determined If he is enti-
tied to it he loses nothing, and if he is not
entitled to it he is so informed, and u
given such a pension as the law allows
him, provided it allows him any. There
is certainly nothing wrong in this method
of purging theupension roll of dishonest
pensioners. 1t is only making the roll
roll of honor, and the administration
should have the sympathy and support of
every fair-minded man in the work it is
doing
One of the first of the disability pen
sioners whose pension was reduced was
a clerk in the pension Office He was
drawing So a month, and it was APP
parent that he was not totally dis
abled." In fact, he appeared to be in a
pretty good physical condition. He was
examined and the result was that he was
given S17 a month, the amount to which
he is entitled.
This is only a sample of the many cases
that have already been discovered in
which pensioners were receiving much
larger pensions than the law permits.
The aim of the head of the pension Of
fee under the Harrison administration
was to grant as many pensions as he
could every day, and it must be admitted
that he made a remarkable record
The Philadelphia Press says that eff
congress does not bring Secretary Hoke
Smith up with a round turn for this in
justice to pensioners it will be because of
a wonderful change in the senti-

stance in which an injustice has been
done to pensioner7 If it does it ought
to make the instance known. If it does

Republicans Responsible.

The efforts OF the republican papers to
make it appear that the Democratic party
is responsible for the present financial
troubles are amusing to those who are
familiar with the record of the Republican
party. All the silver legislation is repub-
lican legislation, and it is on account of
that legislation that the country is now
suffering. The republicans try to avoid
responsibility for the silver-purchase act
by saying that if that act had not been
passed free coinage act would have
been. They ignore the fact that Gen
Harrison, who was President at the time,
could have vetoed free coinage meas
ure, and that such measure could not
have been passed over his veto
And if the effort to repeal the silver
purchase act should be defeated it would
be by the votes of senators from states
admitted into the Union by the republi-
cans to increase their strength in the
Senate and the electoral college. The
states in question are the silver states
and some other northwestern states that
sympathize with the silver sentiment.
They are nine in number, and about all of
their eighteen senator's can be counted on
to vote as the extreme silycrites desire
If it was not for these eighteen senators
there would be no doubt about the uncon-
ditional repeal of the silver-purchase act.
The foregoing facts are sufficient to
convince any one that the republican par
ty, and that party alone, has brought
about the condition of affairs that Is
causing so many financial disasters.

plication for permission to do so has been
made to the postof1ice department and
permission win probably be granted. The
convenience that post boxes in street cars
would be to business men and others is at
once apparent. 1t is quite likely that the

The Chicago papers say that if the fire
department at the fair had been provided
with safety nets and chemically treated
ropes the recent horror at jackson Park
would have been less horrible; indeed,
all of the tiremen on the burning tower
might have been saved. The suggestion
is worthy the attention of every city de-
partment. Life nets, into which persons
may drop from roofs or high windows, have
come to beregarded as almost as necessary
to the complete equipment of fire de-
partment as ladders. And coil of light,
strong rope, made non-combustible by
chemical treatment, provided to each fire
man ordered into Il dangerous place, would
probably result in the saving of many a
brave fellows life. Each fireman on duty
at a fire should be provided with twenty
foot length of such rope having a simple
coupling on each end then in case half
dozen of them should be caught on a roof
they would have a life line at hand with
out delay. While on the subject of fires,
the narrow escape from destruction that
the whole fair had the other day is worthy
of remark. Everyone of the big build
ings at Jackson Park is made of light and
highly imhammable material Had the
fire by any mischancc been communicated
to any of the biz buildmQs the chances
are that the whole park wo9ld have been
swept out clean.

The Cowden Idea.

The outlet theory to prevent the over
flows of the lower Mississippi valley still
has many adherents. Capt COwdCn was
a most persistent advocate of il ten or
twelve years ago before the levee system
for preventing overhows was adopted by
the government. The friends of the out
let theory have called a convention to
meet in Natchez Aug 2, and they pro
pose to make a big effort to create such a
strong public sentiment in favor Of addi-
tional outlets for the Mississippi that
congress will be induced to change the
plan for improving the river.
They regard the present time as ex-
tremely favorable for bringing forward the
outlet theory again. The river has been
extraordinarily high this summer The
levees have broken in quite a number of
places and a vast amount Of damage has
been done.
The outleters, as they are called, viii
find, however, that they have undertaken
very difficult job. When the present
system of improving the. Mississippi
was agreed upon, the outlet theory
was very carefully considered, and the
conclusion was reached that 1t was i'm
practical The result of it would
be that the river would steadily
become shoaler, so that, in time,
the overfows would be even more disas-
trous than they have ever been. The
only sure way to prevent oyerfows is by
levees and jetties, thus making the cur
rent deeper, the river cutting for itself a
channel sufficient for carrying off the
surplus water.
1t Will take time, of course, to complete
the plan that is now being carried out,
and until it is completed there will be
overfows of greater or less extent, but
the ablest engineers have no doubt that
the plan, when completed, will do what is
claimed for it. The outleters may talk,
but they will not influence public senti-
ment
