The Most Crowded Spot on Earth.

A writer in the North american ReUie,c
says: New York is breeding a mob in her
tenements; mob that, so far docile, will
some time rise, unless its wrongs are righted,
and right them for itself Three-fourths of
New York's population live in tenements,
and one-half in tenements of such unhappy
character that their baleful influence cannot
help but be marked upon their crowds
domiciles so oyer-crowded that on their
dOorways might be tackled this paraphrase,
"All We who enter here leave Gecency be-
hind y; where only the rent and the death
rate are high, and the standards of virtue,
cleanliness aud comfort are SO low as to
scarcely merit consideration; where self-re-
specific salvation of the human creature
may be said TO reach the vanishing point.
There are in New York "a SGT front tene-
ments and z, 39l rear tenemepts, with popu-
lation given by the Board of Health as GIG. 565
families, composed of 1,225,4 individuals.
The total population of the city is 1,513,50f.
Six small downtown wards may in con-
fidence be spoken of as forming the most
crowded spot on earth. No obtainable statis-
tics of English or Continental cities show a
population approaching that of this district
of New York. Nowhere else on the face of
the globe are human beings packed together
in such compact layers; nowhere are there
so many OF the layers.

SATURDAY, MAY 10.

In the Senate, Mr.. Gallinger IN. H., r.
began the third and last portion of his speech
against the bill. He took the ground that the
BIZ! should be defeated, whatever form it might
assume, and he declared his readiness to do his
part in defeating it, by the use of any methods
that could be adopted under the rules.
After he had finished, several items in the
glass and china schedule, which had been left
open on Friday, were taken up and disposed of,
the Committee amendments being in every case
agreed to. When the bill went over for the
day there were still three items in that schedule
undecided Mr.. Aldrich not being prepared to
discuss them to-day.
The rest of the days session up to adjourn
ment was taken up in action on bills on the
calendar, of which over dozen were passed.
The most important of them were these: For
the suppression of lottery traffic; making fur
ther provisions for the execution of the regu-
lations for protecting fur seals.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: inclose a
clipping from the Wayne County Democrat
published at Wayne, Neb., issue of the
18th inst. The sheet is fair representative
of it's class in solder-hating and malignine
Bourbons of the times.
But of all the miserable, contemplate
impracticable, and inconsistent misrepre-
sensations and downright falsehoods in re-
gard to fraudulent pensions which papers of
this stripe are constantly RECALLING their read
ers with, as we'll as for pure, unadulterated
partisan gall, this broadside against the old
vets takes front rank in the procession OF
"pension howlers," and richly deserves the
title Of "boss pension lie to date" Here it
is:
Speaking of pensions and pension vetoes the
Euenfng Post gives the following extract from
n letter received by Secretary Morton from a
prominent citizen of this State and veteran In
the i have n list of 62 names in Ne
braska company who are drawing from Sc 10 ga

disability during the entire III months they served

portion of the time for robbing n poor woman of

alar ming state of affairs. If 62 men out of one
pany wrongfuly drawing pensions, what must
the total number of fraudulent pensions be?
One of the remarkable things of this very
remarkable disclosure is that somewhere in
Nebraska there are 81 men, all members of
Nebraska company" who are bleeding
this Government to the tune of from Sc to
$24 per month for pensions. Sixtytwo
men, all belonging to the same company,
drawing pensions; while the reasonable in
ference remains that there are others, sur
vivors of the same company, who are not so
basely criminal as to ask for pensions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do you suppose there is
q company of veterans of the late unpleas-
antness in existence to-day that has 62 MEM
bers remaining? And isn't it quite remarka-
BILE, at least, that 81 men, all of one COM
pany, not one of which ever fired gun at a
Johnny, or even saw one, during the term of
nearly one year of service; and, further, not
one of the 81 was in any manner exposed to
any hardships, privations, Indictment weather,
or in any other way contracted any disability
during the entire period of their service to
entitle them to pension?
And yet strange to relate, according to
the statement of this doubtless, conscien-
tious, loyal, whole-souled patriot, every
mothers son" of these 62 "bummers,"
coffee-coolers," Government paupers," etc,
were dishonest enough and sharp enough to
deceive and defraud the Government out of
the aforementioned rates of pension, an
nually; and no one was aware of the fraud
save the high-minded, patriotic gentleman
aforesaid. Now, if the author of that letter
to Secretary Morton will kindly furnish us
the name and postoffice address of one or
more of those 81 men, or the name and post
