Saving on Pensions.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal.

Kansas City, No. Journal.
When Commissioner Lochren made
his recent statement, claiming that he
had saved the country for the present
year alone at least 20 millions on pen
sions, he did not intend that the COM
parison should be made with the
Increase in Mexican war pensions for the
same period. That Is a little item of
nearly a million and half. Nor did
he state that the saving" was by both
the cutting off. of pensions already
granted and delaying action on applica-
tions long pigeonholed in the bureau.
There is a great deal in this pension
business that is not we'll understood by
the general public. There are more
names on the Mexican pension roll to-
day than there were soldiers in Mexico
during the entire war. A large number
of these pensioners have had their pay
ments increased S4 a month, and there
is now bill before the house to increase
the pensions of all the rest by the same
amount. Nearly all of these pensioners
are Of the southern states. 1t is easy to
see the advantage there is under the
present administration of being an ex-
soldier of the Mexican war and being an
ex-soldier of the war of the rebellion.
The present congress has passed three
private pension bills, one for soldier
of the Seminole war, one for the daughter
of revolutionary soldier and one for a
Mexican war veteran. But not one
among the many bills in which soldier
of the civil war is interested has been
passed. The republicans have never OPP
posed legislation for the payment o
pensions to ex-confederate soldiers who
were veterans of the war with Mexico,
but that fact has no weight in the pen
sioning of soldiers of the late war.
The fact is that the administration
not only discourages the establishment
of any new pensioners, but is opposed
| to the payment of pensions already
granted, if there is any way to gel
around it.

The Real Demon of the Marsb

Is rot a spook, but reality. 1t is neither a
'bogie" nor "kelpie," nor any other of those
spirits which the credulous have supposed to
haunt the banks of rivers and streams after
dusk. Its name is malaria and though invisi-
BILE, it is very terrible and tenacious when it
seizes you. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters drives
it away nor will it attack those whose systems
agent. The miasmatic mists of early morning,
the vapors exhaled at eventide may be safely
breathed by those protected by the Bitters. In
the tropics where every form of malarial disease
threatens the soiourner, and is particularly vir-
ulent when developed, the Bitters is the best
er complaint, lack of vigor, appetite and sleep
for rheumatism and nervousness the Bitters are
a sure and safe remedy.

F. w. Wright, in card in the Wich-

alleged Endorsement of Furbeck's nomi-

ductors, I wish to say that the state
ment is false, and is only made by per-
sons ignorant of the laws governing the
order, and for the purpose of catching
the railway vote. My experience among
railway employees shows me plainly that
SO palpable slur upon their intelli-
gence will be deeply resented by them
at the polls. Yours truly"

The kidnapping of the adjutant gem

Toll from the bridegroom.

A curious but rather inconvenient
custom OF exacting toll from newly
married couples appears to survive at
Wilsden, England, in the Bradford
district. The other day marriage
took place in the Congregational
chapel, and on the happy pair emerg-
ing from the building they found the
way to their waiting cab barred by
number CT women who had tied their
aprons together and stretched them
across the gateway. When these
were satisfied with douceur and the
cab was gained, progress was again
hindered by a couple Of carriers who
had drawn their teams across the
road and who also exacted toll Some
times, it appears, several cords are
drawn across the road at intervals
along the route and the inroads on
the bridegroom's purse are thus con-
siderable.
