Political Pensions.
lCnl,rier-

The passage Of the Pension Bill in
the House was accompanied with a
remark Of no little significance. At
the close Of the debate it was said
that there was no controversy with
reference to the sum that should be
appropriated, but that the discussion
had been wholly Of a political charac-
ter
Pension legislation involves no
strictly party question. Both parties
are on record as favoring liberal pen
sions to deserving ex-soldiers. Both
profess to desire to shut out fraudu-
lent applicants from the bounty
which the government bestows upon
those supposed to be worthy. Meth
or party would confess, in set terms,
that it desires to appropriate money
raised by taxation for the purpose of
promoting tlle reelection Of the men
who speak and vote i'll favor of such
appropriations.
Still, it is true that the attitude of
the two parties toward the pension
question is not the same. In the
ranks Of both are to be found men
who will vote for anything which the
pension-claim agents suggest, for the
reason that they believe that this in
creases their chances for reelection,
SO far they arc on the same plane.
BUT Democratic President vetoed a
dependent pension bill, while a Re-
.publicaa President signed one of a
similar character. 70 this extent
the Republican, party is responsible
for tile enormous increase in the pen
sion charge. Moreover, both the last
Democratic Administration and the
present one, while pushing the work
.of the Pension Bureau with yigor,

FRANCE AND THE PAPACY.

The peculiar genius of the French
people, and the many and rapid
changes chronicled in French history,
make the relation of France and the
Papacy Of ve'y great interest. The
relationship may be looked at from
two points of view. 1t has a pnrcly
political aspect; and it has also a
social aspect, which, though it often
blends with the former, is more Of a
domestic character, and involves also
the relations of Church and State.
France was long held as ''the eld-
est daughter of the Church, and the
Popes had no more powerful allies
than the wearers Of the French
crown. Between Rome and Paris
the best relations usually existed.
The doctrines of Rousseau and Vol
taire became the fashion Of the hour,
and the Church was robbed of all its
old glories, power and authority.
Under the Concordat of 1901 (which
still remains the fundamental law Of
Church and State in France), some
sort of agreement was established,
which has survived the vicisitudes of
near century, and, though stained
and tested to the uttermost, still re-
mains in force to-day. Almost ev-
cry Government, whether monarch
ial, imperialist, OF Republican, seems
to have had its quarrel with the
Church. The insults of the Jaco-
bins were succeeded by the brutal
injuries of the imperial usurper.
With the Restoration a period not
merely of peace but of dignity was
restored to the Church. The claims
and pretentions of the old regime
were eagerly raised and as readily
allowed. Then once more the wheel
of fortune turned, land with the advent
of Louis Philippe, the citizen king,
another time of conflict came for the
Church. Is it littlo wonder that the
clergy, the members of an old and
splendid Church, with great tradi-
lions, closely allied as they were with
the fallen dynasty, refused to recog-
nize the new monarchy, and came
into conflict with the civil power
Bnt thew made virtue of necessity.
and peace was soon restored, a peace
which has been maintained unbroken.
except OH two occasions, when in
1915 the Bishops contested with the
Univcrsity's claims Of monopoly, and
in 1860, when they were rash enough
to criticise the methods of imperial
policy.
There was perhaps not much genu-
Inc goodwill OH thepartof the State;
but the Clergy could not be altogeth
er neglected, and their support was
worth buying It was this policy,
as much as jealousy Of Austria, that
sent French bayonets to the support
OF Pic Mono. The relations of Ma
poleoll III, to the Pope were always
.outwardly cordial. Each side had
much to gain from the other. The.
Papacy was perhaps the most con-.
sertayive force in Europe, and it had
always cxertetl It's inf nencc in favor
OF the old,established monarchial
dynasties. II leteste,l upss|tirs md

Spring is slowly approaching, and the
green. Spring is the most delightful
season of the year. All nature smiles and
bids man take new hope and courage for
the future. Soon in Big Stone Cap will
he seen the hammock, the Tennis court,
the bsse bailist and the summer girl.
This is the most delightful place in the
world to spend the summer The scenery
is SO grand and the atmosphere so pure
For the invalid class, and for he seekers
after pleasure no better place can be
found than Big Stone Gap. Already <
lady and her two daughters from licking
ton, Ky, have taken house for the sea-
son, and it is thought that many more
will soon follow. If everybody in the
Gap would write to their friends and tell
them Of the wondrous beauties of tina
place We would have quite q gay crowd
here. 1t would add TO the future welfare
Of the place IN many ways, as people will
talk, and no one, after seeing our beauti-
full country, could but sound its praises.

Dogs are quite a fad here rs we'll rs in
Nav York, and it is thought that a dog
show will soon lie held. There is the
greatest rivalry over the .podigrecs of the
different dogs,and whether or not they
are genuing types Of their breed. Mr
Addison was the last to catch the fever

looked very much like st. Bernard, and

tween the honest and fraudulent APP
plieant. The Harrison Adniinistra-
ton had no such ambition. Under.
Tanner it started out with the glee--
ful watchword, GOOD help the SUR
plush thatIis, with a determination
to spend as much money MS possible.
without discrimination. Tanner was
removed, not for spending too much
money, but for making too much
noise. Raiding the Treasury with a
brass band was not considered con-
sistent with the canons of the most
improved system of political robbery.
After Tanner stepped out, the war
on the surplus went on more quietly,
but not less effectively. From time
to time, however, boasts were pub
lished of the rapidity with which the
work proceeded and the record show
ed that pensions were granted too fast
to permit any discrimination between
the worthy and the unworthy. The
object was not only to win votes for
the party, but also to spend money,
to annihilate the surplus. to increase
the expenses Of the Government to
such a point az would make any
great reduction of tariff rates impos-
sible for many years.
1t is at this point that the policies
of the two parties diversc. The
Democlats-wc speak now of the
rank and file and not Of the Repre-
sentives that are seeking the soldier
vote-desire to be just to the soldier,
but they also wish to be just to the
taxpayer. They arc willing to be
liberal to the worthy veteran, but
they would like to head off the fraud
ulent and unworthy. They desire to
spare the Treasury SO far as is con-
sistent with the accomplishment of
these objects. On the other hand,
the dominant elements of the Repub-
lean party see in the veteran a means
to an end. That end is high taxa
ton, SO regulated as to fill their own
pockets. For this purpose they de-
sire to use the soldier, thereby secur-
ing "the sublime satisfaction Of en-
richiug themselves in the name of
patriotism"
Undoubtedly, Democratic Repre-
senttivesa and Senators must bear
their share Of blame, for the ridicu-
lous height to which the pension
charge has been forced. The debate
upon the question, which party had
granted pensions with the least dis
elimination, with the least pains to
protect the government from fraud,
was the apothcosis Of delnagogy.
Moreover, it is not really debatable.
Republican rccklessness in giving
pensions to everybody who asked for
them has dofed all competition, and
it is equally well known that Demo-
Gratis have made some efforts to pro-
tect the Treasury. This is the real
strength of their position, and it is
bad policies, to say nothing Of patri-
otism, to meet the Republicans on
any other ground. The notion that
seems prevalent in Congress that the
much discussed soldier vote will
be the cast solid in favor Of pension
frauds is unjust to the veterans and
contrary to experience.
