Anthrax Subsidinp.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. So.-Informa-
tion received by the state board of live
stock commissioners shows that an
thrax, the new stock disease, is disap-
pearing from Clay county. This graft
flying fact is attributed to the recent
rains in that county. The commonly
accepted theory is that the disease
germs are generated in dust, and the
dust being blown upon the grass
the disease is communicated to
the stock which eat the grass Rain
washes the disease germs into the
streams, but that is said not to affect
the fish therein. as only warm blooded
animals are subject to the malady

DEMOCRATIC PENSION REFORM.
Cruel Method of Reducing Administra-
tiOn Expenses.

| tion Expenses.
Prominent among the questions bound
to demand attention is pensions. When
congress met in extra session Hoke
Smith and his pension commissioner
found a hornets nest about their ears.
Democratic congressman from the
north were silent on the subject before
republicans, but they lost no time in
getting the ear of the secretary and the
commissioner, both of whom were told
plainly that the party was being ruined.
1t was all right to search out cases of
fraud and to make the most of every
case discovered, but this wholesale cut
ting off of pensioners without a hear
ing and by new ruling of the depart
ment must stop. They succeeded in
convincing Secretary Smith that he
was running his party, and he agreed to
call a halt. But at this point Mr..
Cleveland himself came to the front.
Hitherto he had kept his head under
his shell, but, rather than not allow his
pet animosity to have free scope, he
snapped out the edict that one hundred
thousand pensioners must be dropped
from the rolls. That is the reform
on which mis- heart is set. He made
known, one in public and the other in
private, two policies, and then resumed
his role of the lone fisherman First,
the Sherman act must be repealed, and,
second, one hundred thousand veterans
now on the pension list must be
dropped.
No doubt there are some men draw
ing pensions on false testimony and
who are not entitled to the rating they
have. Every such case should be purged
away, but this idea of lessening the
pension expenditures on the same plan
adopted by Morrison in his horizontal
tariff reduction bill is monstrous 1t
involves the most cruel injustice. As
Gen. McNulta well put it in his address
before the survivors of the old Ninety
fourth Illinois:
"A pension roll must be a roll OF honor, not a
list of paupers. a pension is the payment of a
debt. compensation for services rendered, not
q charity. 1t is the fulfiilment OF an obligation
of the Iation, as binding and sacred as its
promises TO its bondho,ders, who furnished the
money to carry on the war: promises the fulfill
ment of which are alike necessary to establish
the character ana credit OF the nation, that it
may secure men and money to carry on its fu-
ture wars, or, having the credit, therefore the
power to raise and equip armies, and thus by
its inherent strength prevent future wars and
deter others from attacking US. =.

old soldiers. 1t is full generation |
since the war began. But there are a |
