Canadians as Weather Liars.

Last week I was up in Canada" said E.
H. Hagan, who, according to the St. Louis
GLobe-Democrdt. was trying to hold down
batch or weather liars at the Laclede, and
there l found It somewhat cool. The Their
moineter was down TO about 209 below zero,
and the snow was from Two 70 ten feet deep,
while icicies reached from the caves Of l0-story
ouldlnKs 70 the sidewalk, but, for all that,
might have left the land OF the Canucks none
the wiser Tor It being any colder than any
other canadian winter day had not attempted
70 light my cigar on the street, one day, and
my eyes.
i admit this somewhat startled me, and
began TO look around little. Soon discovered
that people were breathing hAilstones. AS the
breath left the mouth or noatrils il was frozsn
into a round ball, which clattered to the pave
ment, and Ia a crowd sounded like a heavy sleet
storm, and learned that it was nothing I'M
usual during the past few days for boiling water
TO De frozen two inches thick. This last did
not see, but had the story straight from a
prominent colonial Office holder, so know it is
offlclal and can be frozen to as the truth.
up there have seen the mercury I'm Their
fnometers frozen solid. and have been told that
II Is common for whole fiocks OF geese to be
frozen IN the lakes and rivers for weeks At
time, and wbel thawed out come to life again

mere IN st. Louis your weather is like bRlmy
spring time compared TO what it was last week
even IN CHICAGO, when il was so cold that even
WorIds fair liars had their words frozen as they
spoke and fell with cold. dull thud.
IN fact, never heard OF such cold, except
when the great Gergantua. in searching for the
oracle OF the sacred battle. invaded a north
sea, when the warmth Of his vessel sud denly
thawed out multitude OF sound. which proved

Iought on the spot years before, and were only
then released. You people may think you know
something about cold weather down here, but
you really don't know the meaning OF the
word

The Senate Democratic.

/ The democrats will control the Senate
] after March 4. There is no longer any
doubt about that. The Senate that will as.
/ semble Immediately after the Inauguration
/ Of Mr.. Cleveland will contain As democrats,
( 81 republicans and populsts. In Montana
and Washington senators are yet to be
chosen. The legislature Of Wyoming failed
to elect senator. and. according to our
dispatches yesterday, the governor aD-
pointed A. c. Beckwith, a democrat. thus
giving the Senate clear majority, even If
republicans or populists should be chosen in
Washington and Montana.
There is no question now that the Demo-
cratic party will be responsible for legisla-
ton after March 4. The pledges which it
made in its national platform and on which
it was given control Of the government are
firmly fixed 10 the minds OF the people.
They must be fulfilled.
Every pledge which the democracy made
during the presidential campaign can be
carried out without asking for assistance
from the pOpulists. A few weeks ago when
1t was doubtful how the senatorial elections
would turn out, there was considerable spec
ulation as to how the populist senators
would vote on the organization Of the
Senate and on reform matters which the
democrats have IN view. This is no occa-
sion for such speculation now. The demo-
Gratis have the power to carry out their
programme
The people expect a substantial reduction
OF the INDEPENDENTLY that portion of it
that bears heavily upon the masses. And
they expect q sound currency. The Demo
cratic party could make no greater mistake
than to favor legislation that would open
the way for debased currency. A our
rency Of that kind, accompanied
as it is with SO many evils,
would bring the party that favored it into
disrepute.
Mr.. Cleveland is certain to shape his
policy in accordance with the platform OF
the Democratic party. If the party is true
to its platform, all will be well. The plat
form has been approved by the people and
they will approve legislation that it calls
fer.

The Pension reform BIZ.

Mr.. Hoke Smith is reported as saying
that one of the reasons why he wants TO ad-
minister the interior department is that he
hss some ideas relative TO pension reform
which he wants to see put into practice
If his ideas are good ones they will be util-
izei. There are good many men in con-
Rress who are confident that the govern
ment is paying out great deal more money
for pensions than it ought to, aad that the
pension charge could be reduced more than
$40 100000 a year without depriving any
deserving pensioner OF any part OF his pen
sion.
The appropriation for pensions this year
amounts to about S166 900, 900, and next
year it will be $lS8,OOO,OOO. The bill now
pending before congress to reform pen
sion abuses would, it is esti-
mated, reduce tho pension burden
about $4O,OCO.0OO annually. The bill is
championed by Representatives O'Neil, of
Massachusetts. and Mutchler. of Pennsyl-
vania, northern democrats, and not by
southern democrats, as Congressman Bou-
telle. of Maine, said the other day in his
attack upon the bill.
1ne truth Is, something mas got TO be
done to check the growth OF the pension
burden and even to reduce it. Both demo-
Gratis and conservative republicans recognize
the fact that it is bigger now than the
country can carry with comfort. Dema-
gogicsl republicans will do their utmost to
make political capital out of every effort
to bring the burden within reasona BILE pro-
Dortions but the common sense of the conn
try will sanction pension reform legislation
that aims to conine pensions TO those who
really deserve them

Admiral Walker, of the North Atlantic
squadron. will be remembered as ''the man
with a political pull" who showed disrespect
to his superior, Admiral Gherardi, at Hayti
some time ago and escaped without so much
as reprimand from the department Since
that time there has been hard feeling be-
tween the two commanders. Admiral
Gherardi has been ordered to take COM
mand of the entire fleet during the
Columbian naval review and naval parade,
and Admiral Walker has been ordered to
report to him. This Admiral Walker does
not wish TO do, and, it is said, he has again
brought his pulp to bear upon the depart
ment, to avoid meeting Gherardi as his
subordinate. tbs, however, not likely that
he will be relieved. Secretary Tracy is not
disposed to make further changes Of ar
rangements during his term of office, and
Secretary Herbert will probably see that
the programme is carried out as it comes
into his hands.

that il she gets an opportunity to talk to

The career OF John w. Mackay, whose
misfortune is reported in our dispatches this
morning, has been a romantic one. From
the position of a poor miner. in the days Of
40, he lifted himself by the bootstraps,
aided by good luck, to a remarkable emf
hence. AS one OF the Bonanza kings" Of
Nevada-the greatest Of the quartet-he
first became famous. Since that time his
connection with the Comstock lode, the
Mackay>Bennett cables. and the Nevada
Bank have kept him in the public eye almost
as much as his wife's remarkably brilliant
''social seasons" in London and elsewhere.
Mr.. Mackay is one of the few very rich men
of the west who never had any ambition TO-
ward the United States Senate. He once
refused to become a senator, when circum-
stances we're in such a shape that he could
have gone to Washington merely by saying
he would 60.

Mr.. Herbert is the first man who was in the
confederate army to be appointed to the adj
minstrative supervision OF either branch of the
military service of the union since the war
The appointment is therefore another evidence
OF the passing away of the spirit Of sectional
ism and Of more perfect union in the bond of
common patriotism.

A dramatic Frenchman committed sui
eide in New York by falling on his sword.
He placed the hilt on the floor and, after
accurately adjusting the point over his
heart, threw his whole weight upon it.
Death followed simultaneously. Thus we
have another revival of an ancient custom.
Saul slew himself by falling on his sword,
and In the days of the old Romans suicide
by that mode was quite fad.

The North Carolina legislature is consid-
ering a reformatory for juvenile convicts
There are in the penitentiary of the state
800 convicts under 20 years Of age,
and IS under Is years OF age. That
bare fact, without elaboration, should be
argument sufficient to secure the passage of
the reformatory bill. And a bill for a like
institution might profitably be considered
by the next legislature of this state.

The brakemen for the roads centering in
Chicago, who are making ready for great
strike, would do web to consider carefully
the remark made by a Pennsylvania road
man: "You take silver dollar and
lay it on a shelf for year and you still
have silver dollar. But you lay man on
a shelf for a year and he becomes skeleton.
That is the solution Of the capital and labor
problem" The illustration is apt, and
shows the enormous advantage the great
corporations have over the men who have
todepend on their labor for their daily bread.

The sherman Bond Amendment.

The silverltes in congress object to the
Sherman amendment to the sundry civil
bill providing that 3 per cent. bonds
may be sold for gold if, in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Treasury, it becomes
necessary to do 50 to preserve intact the
500, 100000 Of gold that is held by the gov
eminent for a special purpose. On account
Of this amendment the sundry civil bill was
sent to a conference committee by the
House yesterday.
The silverites either do not believe that
gold will 90 20 a premium IL the gold
reserve Of 100000, 600 is drawn upon, or
else they want to force it to a premium in
the hope Of eventually making silver the
standard of value.
New York bankers are divided in opinion
as to whether gold would go to premium
if the gold reserve Of 500, O0O, 900 were
drawn upon. The better opinion, however,
is that it would, and that the loss of conf
dence in our financial affairs that would
follow would have a very disturbing effect
upon business Of all kinds.
There are grounds for thinking that the
silverites in congress are not aiming at
bimetalLsm, but at monemetallism-a ell
yer standard. They do not of course admit
anything of the kind, but fair inference
from the course they are pursuing is that
they want to force the country to a silver
basis
Unless the outflow of gold ceases in a
great degree 1t is highly probable that Mr..
Cleveland will call an extra session of con-
gress. The confidential circular of
Mr.. Harrity, the text of which
was published in our dispatches yes
terday, indicates as much. He
seeks to find out how many of the democrats
Of the next congress who are new members
favor the free coinage of silver. The pre-
sumption is that II it is discovered that
majority of the members of the next con-
gress are against free coinage an extra ses-
sion will be called in order to have the sill
yer purchase act repealed.
There ought to be a settlement of the ell
yer question promptly. In it's present con-
dition 1t is interfering seriously with the
business of the country. People hesitate to
make investments in securities or TO make
contracts of any kind that are not TO be
executed at once, because Of the doubt as SO
to the place silver will occupy Ia the cur
rency q few months hence. The adoption
of the Sherman bond amendment to the
sundry civil bill may or may not have a
beneficial effect, but it could do no harm.
