The New York Herald brings a
strong Indictment against Pension
Commissioner Raum, who was the
first official whose resignation was
asked for by the new administration
Mr.. Raum,' the Herald says, "has
grossly mismanaged the Pension
Department and thrown discredit
upon every veteran in the country.
His policy has been to make a pawn
brokers' shop of the bureau and to
discredit the patriotism of the brave
fellows who were mustered out of the
army. He has insulted Union soldiers
by boldly inviting them to join him
in making a grab at the Treasury
Secretary Hoke Smith will make an
appointment to fill the vacancy, and
it is to be hoped that we shall hear
no more of the acknowledgement of
this important Office.

PENSION FRAUDS.

The Noah l.. Farnham Post of the
Grand Army, whose headquarters are
in New York and which is one of the
largest and most prosperous of
the Grand Army organizations, is
thoroughly alive to the Importance
of pension reform. At its regular
meeting a few days ago it critized
the action of Congress in indiscrimi-
nately extending thepension list and
adopted resolutions declaring that
such action "has done serious injury
to the reputation of old soldiers and
sailors and the Grand Army of the
Republic 1t declared emphatically
that "the only veterans entitled to
pensions we're those who by wounds
and disabilities incurred in the service
OF their country were prevented from
earning living in their respective
callings and whose circumstances
were such as to justify them in calling
upon the country for aid and sup
port"
With such emphatic action as this
from the veterans of the war, backed
up by a public sentiment that has
long demanded reform along this
line, there is hope for speedy reform
alton in the pension office and ma
teral reduction in the vast amount
that is now paid for this purpose

10 1NvBsTIGArn HAWAII.

Mr.. Dlount, of Georgia, who was
chairman of the House committee on
foreign affairs in the 51st Congress,
has been selected by the President to
investigate the recent revolution in
Hawaii. Mr.. Blount has gone to
Honolulu to begin his labors. No
steps, it is said, will be taken by the
administration until Mr.. Blount has
made a thorough investigation of
the situation in the Hawaiian islands,
ard has ascertained the real senti-
ments of the natives in regard to an
nexation This is as it should be.
The Harrison administration took
aggressive action without learning
anything of the real facts or the feel
ings of native Hawaiians in the mat
ter A full knowledge of the opera
ting causes of the revolution may re-
veal facts which will put quite a
different face on the situation from
that presented by Minister Stevens
and his commission.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, of
the 18th, makes the following an
nouncement:
The undersigned have this day dis
solved their relation as man and
vile. Neither claims nor believes any
cause for divorce against the other,
either upon Scriptural or legal
grounds. Having gradually discov
cred what we did not know at the
time of our marriage, that we did
not and do not have that degree of
mutual love essential to a happy
union, and feeling that time widens
rath ar than heals the breach, we b.
lieve it our duty to dissolve our
marriage relations We wi in the
future regard ourselves as neither
husband nor wife the one to the
other, and neither will interfere nor
be responsible for the other.

THE farmers OF Arkansas held a
convention last week which was large
ly attended. They discussed the cot
ton acreage question and passed
resolutions urging reduction "a Their
than an increase of acreage. They
say that an 100000 bale crop in
the South sis at the present time
greatly in excess of the commercial
demand" and lowers the price below
the cost of production. This is a
wise step on the part of the farmers
of Arkansas, and it is to be hoped
that all the Southern States will fall
into line. With a 100000 bale
crop this year the price of Gotten
will advance until there will be a
good margin of profit to the pro-
ducer. An excessive crop simply
means a still lower price than at
present and an impoverished condi-
ton of the farmers.

Science In the Courts
From the Baltimore SUM-


One of the most interesting races
now going on in the world is the race
between action and condensation,
attack and defense. The principal
race has been between gunnery and
defensive armor. AS the force of
projectiles has increased the thick
ness and toughness of armor and the
strength of Notifications has i'll
creased also, but not in the same
degree. The same contest has been
waging between the safe burglar and
the safe manufacturer. In the de-
lection of crime and ia the furnish
ing of evidence the chemist is now
the chief agent. The part that he
has taken in medical Jurisprudence
has been blished for many years.
Then came photography into com
mon use, and that it will take a
prominent place in the criminal
courts in the future is likely But
one of the most striking instances of
fraud detected by chemistry occurred
a few days ago in a will case. A
will was offered for probate by the
devisees and a caveat was filed. The
caveators offered in evidence the
testimony of chemist who had an
alyzed the ink used in writing the
will and had discovered in it a chem
ical which was unknown at the time
the will purported to have been ex-
ecuted. Upon that testimony pro-
bate was denied.

TIE POOL DE POIIIICS.

A bill extending the right of suff-

was defeated in the lower house of
the Michigan Legislature by vote
of SO to 80.
A conference of ministers and pro-

Hall, Pittsburg, Pa, with the pur-
pose of forming new political
party, based on the recognition of
God as the author of civil govern
ment, equal rights for all regardless
of race, the suppression of the drink
traffic and other reforms.
Advices from Hawaii by the steam
ship Alameda are to the effect that
the present unsettled state of affairs
is strengthening the opposition of
the rOyalists to annexation to the
United States. Secret meetings are
being held and it is said they propose
to make representation to Great
Britain. President Dole says annex
alton will come, though it may be
deferred.

The Dignity of the Press.

From the Philadelphia Times
In former years, when newsl apers
were party organs first and news
papers only incidentally, it was more
appropriate for editors to accept
office; just as the editors of small
village organs may properly donow.
Yet even then public men perceived
the improperly of such policy, and
it will be recalled how earnestly it
was condemned by the elder Harri
son and how vigorously denounced
by Webster. In modern times, when
people expect independence and i'm
partiality in journalism, its separa
ton from all political rewards is i'm
perative.

The imperial labor commission, in
session at London, has been engaged
for some months investigating the
labor conditions ofseveral European
countries and the United States and
deduced some facts which will prove
interesting reading to those who
harp SO much upon the "pauper labor
OF Europe" Take, for instance, the
rate of wages in the iron and steel
and textile industries and the rela-
tive cost of living in the United
States and Europe. In these indus
tries the average income of American
families in the United States is put
at $513.5 so, in Belgium at 1914. 50,
in Great Britain at 1856 SO. House
rent in the United States is more
than double that of Belgium and
nearly double that of Great Britain.
The cost of food averages $243.65
in the United States for each family;
in Europe, 1922 50. The average
cost of taxes in the United States is
$3.50 for each family, SLIT in Great
Britain and so Sc in Belgium. Thus
we see that, taking into account the
greater expense of living, taxes, &c,
in the United States, the "pauper
laborer" of Europe gets quite as
good wages as the American laborer
does.
