THE PENSION FRAUDS.
An Inevitable Outcome OF RuInous Re


An Inevitable Outcome OF RuInous Ro-
publican Methods.
Following close upon the discovery of
extensive pension frauds in West Vir-
ginia, Iowa, Nebraska and Baltimore
comes the announcement that a single
Buffalo pension agent has fraudulently
secured for pensioners at least one mill
lion dollars and that this is only the
beginning Of the unearthing of the most
gigantic frauds ever perpetrated in the
pension department.
These frauds are the natural, legiti-
mate. inevitable outcome OF the Tan
ner-Raum methods of "brsting the sur
plus" The prohigacy of congress in
the matter of pension legislation has
almost justified pension agents and
others in holding that any scheme for
looting the treasury is justifiable pro-
vided it is in the name of the ''old SOL
dler;" and successive pension commits
sioners have winl<ed at ''rulings'' that
have made petty retail frauds seem al
most respectable by comparison.
Commissioner Lochren will deserve
we'll of his country if he will not only
stop the wholesale frauds perpetrate d
through trulings," but check the minor
but still monstrous frauds that arc the
work of dishonest agents and Perjured
neutrality-suspicious.. No one desires to
deprive the deserving veteran, disabled
in the line of duty, of his country's
bounty. But tho bounty jumpers, de-
serters, cheats and frauds must be
stricken from the roll as fast as dis
covered. Only in this way can the pen
sion roll be maintained as "a roll of
honor.'-N. Y. World.

SHE HAD OBSERVED,

NCVmOncy'S Observation
Put to Startling Use.
This was near Boston and Judson
was telling the story. He had ac-
qua;ntance in a newly-rich man, with
whom he has become rather intima tely
acquainted in business way. This
mans wife has been ''doing Yurrup''
very diligently and conscientiously for
over six months. and Judson has been
asked up several times to see the art
treasures she had brought back. The
ladyS taste seemed to run largely to
statuary, for she had enough to stock
a small museum. Some of the pieces
were pretty good, too, she had the
good sense to get some one to buy
them for her.
Like others of her ilk. Mrs. New
moneys first and most burning ambi-
ton was to get into the social swim, for
as you know, Mr.. McAllistcr says that is
about all there is worth living for any
way. So she issued invitations for a
housewarming in her splendid new
house, and Newmoney gleefully in
formed my friend Judson that some of
the blucst bloods had sent in accept
anceS.
''Of course Judson promised to be
there. He had to be in Boston on that
date. and he couldn't very well refuse
if he had wanted to.
'He said when he went in he took a
glance around, and everything seemed
perfectly correct and up to date. The
man who opened the door was ire
proacha bic, the murmur of voices from
the 6lra ving-rooms argued large at
tendance, the floral decorations of the
stairways were in exquisite taste, and
the gentlemen's dressing-roonls were
perfectly arranged.
"'Well, Mrs. Newmoney has done it
this time he said, complacently to
himself, as he descended to the parlors.
after his greeting to his hostess
and several introductions, he looked
around for his old friends. the statues.
80 We gods! Spirit of the great Nc
Allister, where went thou? Everyone
of those statues wore around its neck a
huge placard, bearing this legend:
Hands off,
"Judson looked around at the blue
bloods' and nearly tainted.
"After time he edged his way to
the smiling owner, and asked her why
she put on those cards.
why, they were always on the
statues in some of the finest museums
in Europe said Mgs. Newmoney, with
something like pity for Judson's igno-
rance"
''An off-hand way of answering,
wasn't it?' put in the real estate man.
''What did her husband think?"
''Hc said tNeb' was clever and made
good use of her time while she was

TEACH GIRLS HOW TO RUN.

Women who have grown tired of the
masculine ridicule of their running.
when there is occasion for them to
run, can not do better than to have
their daughters take a coure of exer-

people to run. To this end exercise in

with not too late hours And few
things develop the shape better or pro-
duce more grace of movement than
fencing does. calling upon the muscles
and cultivating readiness, quicl1ness,
caution and resolution at the same
time. Swimming. although it leaves
no single muscle untricd, is less
desirable form of exercise, be-
cause the temptation there is to

declare that no form of exer-

that purpose unless it produces per-

to such point, is not always best.
There are moro effective ways, through
gymnastic exercise, to promote per-

after all, there is no healthier or better
way to do this in general than by what
is called Homework, whenever there is
the requisite strength for its steady

strength grows by what it feeds on.

A Timely Hint.

There are many mothers who have
clothing folded away that belonged to
dear babies who died long ago and
whose garments they can not bear to
see worn by other children. They
would be spared the pain of this sight,
and still be making good use of what
is now but food for moths if they should
consult their clergymen, or any active
philan thropist, who would tell them OF
many distant families who would be
materially helped by such donations

WHAT IT MEANS.
Democratic LeGislstion ON the Sugar
Question.

sugar
Question.
The days Of taxed sugar and a shb
sidixed sugar trust are mum bered Tho
day of an t1ntoxed breakfast table for
the poor man is at hand.
Though the republican and assistant
republican obstructionists have man.
aged TO involve the house in an un-
seem1y tang1e, there Is no obscurity in
the measure which was passed tho 9TH
CIR day in committee of the whole by q
vote of 161 to 80. The bounty is abol-
ished outright, and all sugar, raw and
refined. is to be free. Such is the meas
ure which democratic congress will
undoubtedly give to the country.
How could democratic congress do
less? In a democratic tariff formed or
the theory that all tariffs are evil,
there is place for a tax on an article
which appears first in the list of plain
necessities of every household In a
administration of government there Is
no money to be taken from 8. depleted
treasury to enrich ? robber trust. to
burden the poor with an insidi0uS and
widely disseminated tax in the interest
of cotcrie Of millionaires-thati is Nc
Kin]eyism; it has no place in demo-
cratic legislation.
The sacrifice Of revenue due to the
abandonment of the tax on sugar will
be very large, but from its total are to
be subtracted the millions heretofore
paid in bounties. The difference will
still be large. but were it fourfold
what it is the necessity for the repeal
would be no less urgent Indeed, tho
virtue of the new legislation is proved
by the character of those who oppose
it. 1t is the plu tocracy of both parties
that recoils from the proposition to lift
this burden from the common people,
because at length the plutocrats, demo-
cratic as we'll as republican, realize
that the deficit thus created must be
made good by a tax upon their own
superduities. Free sugar is hateful to
the heartless and unpatriotic rich be-
cause it means taxed incomes. 1t
means the unmasl<ing of hidden wealth
which has never paid its own share to
taxation, but compelled poverty to
bear the unequal burden. No man
whose income is nov far i'll excess of
four thousand dollara will feel /.
feathers weight OF the new burden.
How many wage earners Of America
derive that sum from their 1hbors? How
many merchants, how many profession
al men? Count then and you will
have the number Of those whose taxes
the poor man has been paying. but
will shortly pay no more.-Chicago

Cause CT tho Deficit.

Republican tariff legislation injured
trade and reduced revenues. Republic
an extravaganza wiped out the surplus
and substituted a deficit. Republican
bullion buying made the mass of idle
bullion a menace to the silver market
and to the stability of the currency.
Hence the panic Secretary Carlisle
tells the senate committee on finance
what the republican panic has done for

hINDOO BEAUTIES.
Ffne-Looking Women Among the Middle
Glass. | t

Fine-Looking Women Among the Middle
Glass.
Many of the women of India, and
especially those of kashnir, are very
beautiful. The worst of it is that not
only arc the most beautiful ones seldom
seen, but even their portraits are diff
cult to obtain. Either they or their
husbands appear to look with rooted
distrust on the photographer. and even
when their photographs are taken they
rarely give permission for copies to be
sold. In a typical Hindoo beauty the
skin is just dark enough to give rich,
soft appearance to the complexion, the
features are regular, the eyes mild and
black and shaded by long, sill>en lashes
the hands and feet are small and ele-
gantly formed, the demeanor is modest,
the manner gentle, the voice low and
sweet. Such a com bination of good
points may not often be met with, but
when it is who shall say what havoc is
wrought among the hearts of the be-
holders? There are fine looking wom-
en- occasionally among the middle-class
Hindoos, we'll among the upper
ten, and even among the low castles
the faces are sometimes very pleasing.
Many a Hindoo woman, who has per-
haps little pretensionS to beauty of
face, has nevertheless the step and
carriage of a princess: and if one is not
too fastldious about perfection of eyes
and mouths and noses, her figure, as
she walks down the street with her
load on her head, is truly a beautiful
object. Jew.lry is often worn to ex-
cess in India, rs among other orien tails,
and the nose ring is sometimes SO large
that it has to be fastened back of the ear
by delicate chain to keep it from i'm
tcrfering with the mouth.-Pittsb,,rgh
