while there are more than 5000 cases
pending for adjudication, making a
total of more than %, 900 casss.
The official records show that the
total number of regulars, marines and
volunteers enrolled for the Mexican
war was about 100000, one-third of
whom never left the states in which
they were enrolled; so that it will be
seen that % per cent of the entire
army enrolled for the war with Mexico
is to-day represented on the pension
roll Of the armies of that war.
Strange as it may appear, our confed-
crate friends who clamor SO much
about pension legislation seem to for
get this fact of history and are not
-clamorous in their appeals for the
purging of the Mexican pension roll;
but, like that people of Odd of whom it
Is said they 6elie1ed a he that they might
be damned" these southern people,
who are in a large part responsible for
the pension roll of the present day, are
so blind that they cannot see any de-
feet in the pension roll which bears so
many of their own numbers The

of 1893 closing the minis of India and the stop

manifest on every hand in the business
depression of the country, in labor
strikes and the general discomfort
that everywhere prevails. Congress will
soon complete its work. and the general situa-
tion and the prospects before the country will
then be fully disclosed Some state elections,
involving the election of United States sena-
tors. have already been entered upon. and the
campaign for the election OF members OF the
Fifty-fourth congress will soon begin.
In view of these conditions. the executive
committee OF the American Bimetallic league
have thought il advisable to call n conference
of those who believe that no permanent i'm
proyement in the condition of the country can
be hoped for as long as the present gold stand

LIQUOR TRAFFIC CONDEMNED.
A Remarkable Decision Rendered by Mgn
SatOlli.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Press Will
to-day say: Mgr. Satolli, the apostle
lie delegate, has just rendered de-
cision eondemning the liquor traffic He
approves of the expulsion of the liquor
dealers from Catholic societies This
remarka BILE decision was called forth
by an appeal from the ruling OF Bishop
Watterson. of Columbus, o.
During the last Lenten season Bishop
Watterson addressed a letter to the
clergy and laity of his diocese dealing
wholly with the temperance problem
Bishop Watterson said:
1 hereby withdraw my appreciation from
any and every Catholic society in this diocese
that has a liquor dealer or saloonkeeper at its
head or anywhere among its officers; and sus-
pend every such society itself from the ranks
and privileges as Catholic society until IL
ceases to be so Offered. No one who Is en-
gagged either as principal or agent in the man
ufacture or sale Of intoxicating liquors Should
be admitted to membership
One of the societies laid the matter
formally before Mgr. Satolli- To this
appeal the apostolic delegate has just
responded He sustains the position
of Bishop Watterson, and says:
The liquor traffic and especially as con-
Quoted here in the United States. Is the source
Of much evil. hence the bishop was acting
within his rights in seeking to restrict it.
Therefore. the delegate apostolic sustains
Bishop watterson's action. and approves OF
his circular and regulation concerning ss-
looms and the expulsion Of saloon-keepers from
membership in Catholic societies
Rev. Alexander P. Doyle, of the Paul
ist Fathers, the general secretary OF
the Catholic Total Abstinence union OF
America, said that the declaration OF
the apostolic delegate is the most i'm
portant exer pronounced by the church
in this country, and he thought its
effect would be far-reaching.

200 citizens here have been arrested
for train wrecking. Sheriff Hager was
the first man taken and Mayor Frank
the second. The arrests were made by
seven deputy marshals. backed by a
carload of federal soldiers. At first
the Pond Creek lookouts, stationed
on the top of buildings. saw twenty
soldiers marching from Pond Creek
station and so reported The citizens
took their Winchesters in high glee to
give them battle, but while they were
drawn up in line waiting for the sol
diers to demand their surrender, two
unexpected companies of soldiers
rolled off a train that had just come
from another direction in great haste.
The citizens thea grounded arms and
surrendered.

AN EXODUS.
Many Foreigners Return to Their Nsfive

Many Foreigners Return TO Iheh Hsss'o
Lands-Nothing to Do in This Country.
CHICAGO. July 19.-The European
rate war inaugurated by the leading
steamship lines may result in whole
sale exodus from Chicago of many men
connected with the late strike Never
before in the history of steamship rates
has it been possible to go from Chicago
to any European port so cheaPly-
Since the cut in rates has been in
augurated the exodus from Chi
cago and the northwest to various
points in Europe has figured up
third of the traffic from New York.
according to the estimates of local
steamship lines, and the announcements
of the last great cut in rates has start
ed real hegira of European born peo-
pie. There are half dozen interesting
phases of the present situation IN re-
gard to ocean travel, and there is much
food for thought in the depletion of the
army of the unemployed in this coun-
try by the return of thousands of work
ers to their homes abroad 1t Is esti-
mated that before long labor will be
at n premium instead of a discount,
and there are not few who figure
on season of prosperity as con-
sequence of the return to Europe
of thousands who have been
1 in the last six months unsuccessful cam
didates for employment Never be-
fore have rates been so low, and it IS
small wonder that the thrifty foreign
ers flock to take advantage of the con-
ditions of the present time. 1t is pre-
dicted that the collapse of the Debs
and other strikes will precipitate a
rush abroad of men who have gone out
and cannot get back Advices from
abroad to the various steamship COM
panies indicate an almost total eessa-
ton of immigration Foreigners here
have discouraged friends and relatives
abroad from seeking work in this coun-
try. Local steamship agents also say
| that there is no doubt of a heavy exo-
dus to all parts of Europe.

LEGISLATION FOR THE CLASSES.
Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
Ascendency of the Democracy.

Detestable Schemes Resulting from the
Ascendency of the Democracy.
Perhaps one of the most detestable
schemes of class legislation ever pro-
posed in an American congress was
that clause of the present tariff act
which repeats the sugar bounty and
destroys the sugar beet industry.
To the farmers of the west, the estab-
1ishnent of this industry opened new
and almost unlimited field. The
official statistics show that under the
operation of the sugar bounty, the pro-
duction of beet sugar increased from
six millions of pounds 20 forty-four
millions of pounds in one Tear. The
outlay necessary to provide this won
derful increase could not possibly have
been made had il not been understood
that both the spirit and the intent of
the law gave promise of perpetuity at
least for ten years for the enterprise.
To strike down this promising source
of national wealth at this time is an
outrage beyond the description of hui
man language.
One of the worst phases of the whole
QUESTION presents itself to the people OF
the west, that the two states which
will suffer most, Nebraska and Kansas,
are parties to the crime through the
action of their populist senator's Allen
and PETER What have the people to
hope for when men claim and clamor
for public recognition in the national
-counsels, and vote to destroy promised
prosperity.
The only sign Of coming changes, or
of hope for better things is that the
people seem to have determined that
the republican party shall be placed
again in power, in order that all the
wrongs of the past year may be right
ed and that the sure road to confidence
and prosperity may again be open to
all the people IN all branches of bust
ness throughout the whole country.
Let the republicans again control

AS TO PENSIONS.
The Democratic Method of Outstanding
the Nations Finances


the Nations Finances
We have no desire to challenge the
correctness of the law by which Next
ran soldiers are placed upon the PEN
Iion roll. It may seem curious, how
ever. that in the effort now being put
forth by the present administration TO
purge the pension roll, none of the fol-
lowing-named persons have been dis
turbed in the drawing of their PEN
sions- We leave the query for those
authorized to answer:
Gen. Samuel Cooper, who served as
adjutant general of the confederacy
turing the entire war. has been draw
ing a pension since June 8, 1887. The
widow of Stonewall Jackson, the
widow of Maj. Gen. George E. Pickett,
khe widow of Maj Gen. Gideon j. Pill
low, the widow of Lieut. Gen. A. P.
Hill. the widow of Commodore Sidney
Smith Lee, the widow of Brig. Gen.
James r. Chalmers. the widow of Maj
Gen. Dabney II. Murray, Hon. s. b.
Maxey, of Texas, Hon James E.
George, a senator from Mississippi,
now serving in the United States SEN
ate.
The widows named above are wild
-ows Of men educated at West Point, at
the expense of the government who, in
the hour of the nations deepest trial,
abandoned that government which
gave them education and standing as
men, and went into rebellion.
In addition to the foregoing, the
Mexican pension roll carries the names
