by the proposition to place uniformed
newsboys on the cable cars, who will
supply passengers with newspapers and
periodicals and guarantee the Company
against suits for damages as the result
of possible accidents.
This scheme Is by no means a new
was was successfully opeT rat by Frank
Wood, then a newsdealer in Broadway,
between Fortieth and Forty-frst streets.
Mr.. Wood made an agreement with John
Kerr. who was then President of the
Broadway line, by which boys with
Woods badges had the exclusive privi-
lege on the cars of that Company.
Mr.. Wood told an 'tlIvcning World'
reporter to-day that the plan worked
very satisfactorily, and that he only
abandoned it to engage in other bust
ness. He thinks it is still feasible II
properly conducted, and that it would
eventually embrace every street-car line

The Pension Roll Decreasing.

The report of Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren, a summary of which was pub
lished in our dispatches a day or two ago,
shows that there was a considerable fall
ing off in the roll of pensioners during the
last fiscal year. Although no fewer than
SO,OS5 new names were added and 2SOS
that had been dropped were restored, yet
the losses by death and other causes were
such as to leave the total on June 30 last
at 96o554, which was 5,468 less than that
of twelve months previous.
In the natural course of events it
seems that the time has arrived for the
pension list to grow shorter 1t has been
nearly thirty years since the war ended.
If all the survivors of the war on the
union side had been young men of % at
the beginning of hostilities. they would
now, if living, be old, gray-headed men.
1t seems that Notwithstanding the wounds
received and diseases contracted in the
Service Of their country" the pension
ers possess the most wonderful vitality.
They have apparently absolutely detied
the ravages of time and of Illness. The
AS9NhN - eie't at lillS ldle udy there are
on the pension rolls very nearly If not
quite as many names as the federal gov
eminent ever had soldiers at the front at
any date during the war.
The immunity of the pensioners from
death, however, has been apparent only
by the pension rolls, and not real Tween
ty years ago, during the administration Ct
Gen. Grant, a natural reduction of the
pension roll set in and continued steadily
for five years, including the first part OF
the administration of Mr.. Hayes. 1t left
the number on June 80, 1878, at 223, 99s
Then came series of extraordinary acts
| of congress that did not cease until they
had more than quadrupled the roll and
more than quintupled the annual pension
expenditures. During Grants term the
| government paid something less thar
270OO,O00 a year for pensions, and was
praised for its liberality. When the pen.
sion business was dragged into politics
! by the republicans. they ran the pay.
ments up to $50, 100000, and were contin.
ually decrying the niggardIiness of those
who sought to restrict the payments tc
persons who were legally entitled to draw
| pensions.

The Cars Illness.

Our cable dispatches this morning bring
bad news form the Car of Russia. They
say his end is approaching fast. Whether
they arc correct or not. remains to be
seen. The stories Of his illness that come
daily by cable are so varied as to leave
room for the widest speculation as to his
condition, the cause Of it and the conse-
quences to his country that would follow
his death A few days ago IT was said
that he was virtually a prisoner, con-
trolled by his enemies, who wished him to
be removed from Livadia to Corfu. His
resistance to the removal has been men
toned in the dispatches for several days.
which would seem to give some color to
the story.
Another dispatch of recent date said
the Car was suffering from poison, ad-
ministered by conspirators in his house
hold. And that story would seem to be
only what might reasonably be expected.
For hundreds of years most of the deaths
in the Russian imperial family have been
brought about by violence or insidious
poisons The Cars father, Alexander
H., died by a nihilists bomb; and mis-
death was the only one of a Russian ruler
for hundred years or more that was
not surrounded by deep mystery. Mich
olas, the father of Alexander H., is be-
lieved to have been murdered. If the
present Car has been poisoned, therefore,
he is but going in the way his ancestors
went.
As to the political effect the Cars
death would have, the future of Russia
under the heir to the throne would be
most problematical, for he has radical
leanings of a very pronounced sort. He
entertains the curious notion that the
Russian people ought to have a share in
the government of the empire No DOUBT
his moral character is far from COOL;
but if the ecclesiastical party, headed by
Pobiedonostieff, procurator of the holy
synod, succeeded in their scheme to have
the Car declare his second son his heir,
there would be mischief afoot.
