WAsHINeIoS, Sept thereafter
the fourtn class postmasters will have
another source of revenue to add
to the many that now holds in
the smaller settlements. He Tow
can act as a notary public for pen
sioners and witnesses in pension cases
only and can charge the pensioner not
excee ding twenty-five cents for each
voucher to which he affixes the seal
of his office. The new au-
thority and emoluments in the
village postmaster sprung from
an act approved on the
23d instant. which requires. EN-
powers and authorizes" them to lad
minister any and all oaths required to
be made by pensioners and their wit
nesses in the execution of their vouch-
ers with like effect and force as Off
GERS having a seal; and such post
master sha. affix the stamp OF his
office to his signature to such vouch-
ers'
The law includes all manner of
pension cases in which an oath is re-
quired, including vouchers for the
regular quarterly payments. This
authority to the fourth class post
masters does not mean that a notary
who has been heretofore taking PEN
sioners' dispositions can no longer do
SO; on the contrary it is stipulated
expressly that they may do
so. The law was passed at the in
stance of congressman representing
country districts which are but
sparsely settled and is to save travel
on the part of pensioners. The PEN
sion Office is anxious they should have
notice of the changed conditions made
by the law.

Contemporary Review concerning

vided that he lives as frugally. Con-
sequently he thinks that the argu-
ment that wages must be higher in
America is fallacious A pound judi

necessaries of life would afford the
worlxingman's family more comforts
than would the same amount, spent
here. The American workingman's
position was like that of the old
Scotch woman who, when asked If
she could live on a certain annuity,
replied that she could live on half of
it, but could spend DOODLE

Fire on the Rebels.
AP1A, Samoa, Aug. 1.-THE war
ships of Great Britain and Germany
have at last taken action with view
to ending the native disturbances
which have heretofore appeared to be
interminable. Two skirmishes had
taken place between the warlike
tribes, resulting in the killing of eight
or ten natives and the wounding of
many more. The natives had become
short of food, not having planted or
looked after their crops, and they had
taken to stealing from foreigners
throughout the islands Their mode
of living had produced great deal of
illness, much suffering and many
deaths, SO that in the interests of
common humanity inter- .rence by the
powers became absolutely necessary.
Something had to be done to put
stop to the so calIed warfare.
1t is now certain that unless vigor-
GUS action is taken the position of the
foreigners here will be critical. At
the hour of the sailing of the Mariposa

four recent rulings of Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior Reynolds, con-
STRUNG the act of January :, 1898,
which provides for an increase of
pension from IS to S12 per month on
account of service in the Mexican
war. The acting secretary holds that
the increase granted under that act
does not commence at the date of the
act, but from the date of approval of
the increase claim in the pension bu-
reau, and that the increase does not
apply to the case of widows
The act, says Judge Reynolds, does
not include those persons who com
