THE INTERIOR,
Report OF tho SECRETARY Contains Mueh ,

THE INTERIOR.
Report OF tho Secretary CpRtains Much Of
Interest-Fensions and Indians.
The secretary of the interior has the sup
ervision of 80 many important subjects
that his report Is Of especial value and in
terest.
The 8oth day Of June, 1898, there were
on the pension rolls 966. .O12 names, an in
crease of e9,9A over the number on the
rolls June 30, 1892 The number added to
the rolls during the year was 123,634, and
the number dropped was $500, The first
payments on pensions allowed during the
year amounted to $Ss, ,596, ,549.98.
Pension Frauds.
The president discusses pension frauds
at considerable length, and concludes:
I am unable to understand why frauds
IN the pension rolls should not be exposed
and corrected with thoroughness and
vigor. Every name fraudulently put
upon these rolls Is q wicked imposition
upon the kindly sentiment In which PEN
sions have their origin; every fraudulent
pensioner has become a bad citizen; every
false cath IN support. Of a pension has
made perjury more common and false,
and undeserving pensioners rob tho
people, not only Of their money, but Of
the patriotic sentiment which the sur
vivors of war fought for the preserva-
tion of the Union ought to inspire,
The sum expended on account of pen
sions for the year ending June 80, 1898,
was $156, ,74Q, ,467.l4, The commission esti-
mates that $165, ,0oo, 600 will be required to
pay pensions during the year ending June
30, 1894.
As to Indians,
Our Indians number about 248000.
About 110, 600 of these Indians have, to Q
large degree, adopted civilized customs.
Lands in severalty have been allotted to
many OF them. Such allottments have
been made to 10000 individuals during the
last fiscal year, embracing about !, ,000, goo
acres. 5>- ~'
The appropriations on account Of the
Indian bureau for the year ending June
!; 30, 1894, amount to 81 954, ,962 90, decrease
as compared with the year preceding it of
$685., 1875,
As to Land LAVA

Not Sanctioned by Best Precedent,
The doctrine Of asylum as applied to this
case is not sanctioned by the best prec-
edents, and, when allowed, tends to en-
courage sedition and strife. Under no cir
cumstances can the representations of the
government be permitted, under the ILL
defined fiction of ra-territoriality, to in
terrupt the administration of criminal
justice in the countries to which they are
accredited. A temperate demand having
been made by the Chilian government for
the correction of this conduct, the minis
ter was instructed to no longer harbor the
offender. - -

them To ''move off at a tangent" we
might ret some results Of startling

With the atmosphere in good con-

great guns Of modern navies can
be heard for distance Of 80 miles,
Mt least the authorities 80 state.
These guns weigh from 100 to 125
tons, and the charge of powder used
each time is 500 pounds. Now, in
order that the conclusion might break
through the atmosphere with suffi
Gent violence to make sound waves
that would have the power TO travel
around the world, it would be neces
sary to make a gun 900 times larger
than the 125-ton gun Of today, and t.
charge it with 250, pounds Of pow
dcrl This enormous amount Of cx
plosivcs would load 10 freight ears Il

Nearly one Thousand millions worth of
American securities are held in Europe
and they are as good as gold today.
With free coinage of silver they would
be as good as silver only, the shrinkage
amounting to about $500, ,oOo,O 900. The
free silver agitation has led to the turn
ing back of these securities upon this
country, and that is the meaning of the
continued heavy expectations of gold.
The problem is a very simple one, and
yet hundreds of thousands of men do
not seem to be able to grasp it. So long
aa the securities alluded to are believed
to be backed by sound currency sys-
tenn there is no haste on the part of
foreigners to get rid of them. The
moment there is draft on that point

A TOUCH OF DBSPo1LSk.

It has got to be mixed question
whether Mr.. Pennoyer or the other
ninety gentlemen who sit in the state
house constitute the legislature. Those
who were elected as senators and repre-
.sentatives are impressed with the belief
that they are the lawmaking power, but
the governor has an entirely different
notion. The freedom with which he is
using the veto power would signify that
he hasn't much faith in the ability of
the legislators to discern guod from evil.
Possibly the legislature may return the
compliment by a display of sufficient
nerve to override the governors vetoes,
and put their legislation into operation
in spite of gubernatorial objections.
The exercise of the veto power is at
best dangerous constitutional preroga-
kive. It is . relic of monarchical gov
ernment uneuited to our republican in
stitutions. It was adopted, however, as
a safeguard against hasty and ill-consid-
cred legislation, and If wisely used may
have salutary effect. But this author
ity was not bestowed upon the executive
department for the purpose of afording
an opportunity for an arbitrary exercise
of one-man power, or to enable the chief
executive officer to be an obstruction to
progress. The most important legisla-
ton of this session has already run
against the veto snag. The worlds fair
bill and the militia bill were scuttled in
the governors Office. The amended as
sessment law may possibly share the
same fate. If it goes on at this rate, the
people will begin to ask. themselves,
"What are we at?" and will wonder
what is the use of having legislature,
when we have governor who assumes
all the functions of the legislative de-
partment. It is about time for the legis-
lature to get in and assert itself as an in
dependent branch of the state govern
ment.
