REFORM IN THE PENSION OFFICE.

hHfOhM IN Ihh fDhNolON OfFICh
Efforts are being made by the Republican
leaders In and out Of Congress TO put an end
TO the reform movement inaugnrated by the
present administration against the lax and
dishonest administration Of our pension
laws, or, at all events, to turn TO the advan.
tsge Of their own party the efforts OF the I'D
mnistration TO introduce clean business
methods In the Office so grossly mismanaged
by Tanner and Rsum.
The resembling Of Raum's order No. 1874
and the adoption of other measures 10 purify
the pension rolls have been welcomed by
those pensioners who are deserving the
bounty they receive from the national gov
ernment, but TO those whose names have
been fraudulently or improperly enrolled
tho activity Of Secretary Smith and Com.
missioner Lochren have been most disquiet
ing. These unworthy pensioners have done
all in their power 10 shut off further inquiry
into the affairs of the Pension Office, and to
stay the reform movement which threatens
TO sweep their names from the national pay.
roll.
Republican politicians have sought to
make political capital out OF the action taken
by the administration upon the pension ques
ton, and are loud in their denunciation Of
the new meth Dds adopted by Commissioner
Lochren, characterizing them as persecu-
ton of those who fought and suffered for
the Union.
1t is probable, however, that the present
pension policy Of the Democratic party will
make for II more friends than enemies At
all events, whatever may be the party effect
Of vigorously prosecuting the reform policy
IN which il is pledged the administration
will fulfill 10 the letter those pledges, and
will not be content till the entire Pension
Bureau, in all its departments, has been
thoroughly overhauled and placed upon a
sound business basis

A SOURCE OF NEW REVENUE.

ln letter to Secretary Carlisle Mr.. David
A. Wells indicates the source from which
the government may wisely and safely oh
tain 49,, 100000 Of needed revenue. The
tax on distilled spirits, he shows, is already
as high as it can be put without promoting
illicit distillation and lessening the revenue
from spirits. But the tax on fermented
liquors could be safely doubled. This tax
has been practically uniform since 1868 at
the rate of 81 per barrel of 81 galons,or about
20 per cent ad valorem. II amounts TO about
one.fifth Of cent on every half pint glass
Of beer. Under this moderate tax the pro.
duct has grown from 81, Dos, 900 gallons In
in 1853 To 1.07l $4,000 gallons in 1893, or
an increase Of the per capita consumption
from .S6 gallons to over 10 gallons. The
revenue at present derived from beer, ale,
NC, is nearly $50 ,OOO. 900, and this could be
doubled without diminishing the consump
ton Mr.. Wells says: III II becomes de-
sirable ut this time or any other time for the
United States to materially increase its an
nual revenue by additional taxation, such a
result cannot be obtained more certainly
and with so little Of expense, effort or in
dusirial friction as by moderate increase
Of the tax upon iermented liquors. The ex
listing tax GO psr cent. AL valorem) is lower
than upon almost any other industrial pro-
duct entering largely into domestic con.
sumption"
From the internal tax on tobacco about
$32 ,0O0, 900 of revenue is now derived, but
in view of the heavy burdens already rest.
ing upon tobacco growers, II would be hardly
expedient to increase, even Indirectly, the
tax upon their product. Still II may be
noted that II the French tax on tobacco
were in iorce here, II would produce an an.
nual revenue Of $ll2,O 100000.

about the White House, along Pennsy lvania

A bill for the repeal Of the Federal cleo
ton laws has been reported in the House.
Mr.. Tucker, the author Of the bill, says
that in the course OF the debate there will
be some interesting information vouchsafed
the House respecting the methods of John
l. Davenport, of New York, and the costs
of enforcing the laws Exact figures, he
says, cannot be secured from the Treasury
Department for the reason that many pay
ments have been made TO Davenport with
out vouchers; but it is estimated that the
payments on account Of supervisors and
deputy marshals have amounted to from
81 900 TO $1,500,000 at each Congress
sonal election since the law was passed
The Republicans will oppose the passage of
the Tucker bill 10 the utmost Of their power,
but II is a measure which should be acted
on at the earliest possible moment, Con-
gress should not be permitted to adjourn
with these obnoxious laws remaining on
the statute books.

RAISING SHEEP FOR MEAT

The raising of sheep for the production
of meat rather than Of wool is one of the
tendencies of the times. The american
Wool and Cotton Reporter calls attention TO
the change which is going on, and rejoices
Of it, "Henceforth," it says, "the farmers
flock of sheep must stand on its own legs,
and these must be mutton legs; thus suffi-
GENTLY supported, it can not only take care
Of itself, but enrich the hilltops Of the farmer
and bless his table with the best of meat"
II points out that the butchers market of
late has shown a growing Partially for
mutton and less demand for beef, and says
I'VE should eat more lamb, more mutton.
1t may be great blessing that it is neces-
sary TO push this side Of the sheep interest
II it is to result in the rearing of better NUT.
ton, and more OF it, and It's presentation TO
the public in more attractive form, every.

fact that mutton can be grown cheaper
than any other meat

The avowed determination of the ma
iority in the Senate to close the silver de-
bate and force vote on the repeal bill will
meet with favor among the people. OBJ
structive tactics are peculiarly out of place
at this time, and the adoption of some means
to shut off talk aud bring matters TO crisis
is necessary if Congress is not to fall into
contempt, Probably there will not be re-
sort to cloture. That summary method of
stopping debate has been regarded with
suspicion by American statesmen since the
reign of the Reed rules. But there are other
ways to accomplish the same end, and one
Of them is to hold a continuous session and
force the takers to talk themselves into ex-
haustion.
