Silk Trade of England.

In England the number of persons
formerly interested in the silk trade of
that country and its allied branches was
nearly a million. According to the last
census returns, the number at present
employed is 81, 427. The reason of this
decrease in the manufacture and the
throwing out of employment Of some
thing like $50, 900 men and women is
that the silk industry was not closely
protected. The protection was taken
away, and after that Switzerland and
France took up the silk industry and

How They' Mako Use OF Technicalities to
Reject Cases.

nov 1ney Mako Use OF Technicalities to
Reject Cases.
But there is another side Of this work
IN which Judge Lochren far exceeds
General Raum- It is in reflections. For
SIX months-viz, from June to Novem-
ber, inclusive, in 1892, Commissioner
Raum rejected 4S, S9S claims and al
lowed ITO, 266. Commissioner Lochren
for the same months in 1898 allowed
35, 755, but rejected 81, 1888.
In other words, Raum admitted four
cases just about as often as he rejected
one. But under the present administra-
ton the order is entirely reversed, and
under Lochren two cases are rejected
almost as often as one is admitted, and
during the sultry month Of August last
the proportion was very much larger,
only 5.173 cases being admitted and
%, 663 rejected-a case rejected little
more than = times as often as one was
admitted. 1t should also perhaps be
stated that during this dismal month of
August reflections in the Office seem to
have eliminated.
In single month 23, 663 sad mes
sages had gone to as many anxious and
in many instances destitute homes, scat
tered over the whole country. Such a
flood Of adverse decisions, together with
over 1000 suspensions, could hardly
help stirring the atmosphere in every
section, and when the veterans We're
met in national encampment at Indian
apolis early in September last no one
was surprised when they entered their
protest against this indiscriminate
slaughter Of the innocents. I say Gin
discriminate slaughter, for it must
have been such. From the very nature

by HOke.

Hoke Smith-great heavens. what q
name!-is from Jargy and was Tot in
the Union army. Let us bear this fact
in mind as we glance over his work. He
may have warm sympathies for the Grip
pied veteran, but it is for the fellow on
the other side, not those who followed
the stars and stripes. And yet Cleve
land placed the destinies, the honor, the
very lives Of our nations honored veter-
ans in the hands of this man. Was it
done for a set purpose, with q fixed
plan to cut off and down as many as
Democratic gratitude was able? We can
judge by the effects of his administra-
ton.
For six months, from June to Novem-
Der, inclusive, of the present fiscal year
there has been considerably less than
one-third the usual number of certifi-
Gates issued, with a saving in the first
place, through the lessened volume of
business, of $15, 600, 900 in round num-
bers, and, in the second place, through
the reduced rate at which these pensions
must have gone on the rolls, So, 2O1, 100
more. Then there is economy for the
treasury also in the 10000 greater
number of reflections by Judge Lochren
on which the first payments would have
been something more then 81, 900, 900
if they had gone ON the roll even at
Commissioner Lochren's rate, and if at
Raum's about So, 400, 600. making to-
tai Of $40, 900, 600 or $40, 900, 900 that
has been withheld from the veterans,
their widows and orphans in a single
six months
This, in nutshell, is the astonishing
result. Now look at some of the extraor-
dinary means by which this has been
accomplished, for it seems almost in
credible that such change can have
taken place in the pension bureau. Men
see the. unusual result, wholly out of the
ordinary course, and ask themselves and
one another how it can have come about.
Through what legerdemain it can have
been reached?
