senator sherman. !, understand

The simple truth is-and Senator
Sherman understands II, whether
his feeble echo In the Tribune does
or not-that the financial ruin OF the
past FIVE years is traceably unmi sta
kably to the performances Of that as
tonishing congress. Mckinley, Reed
and Harrison came into Office with
an over flowing treasury, inherited
from the first Cleveland administra-
tion. For e year before the acces-
sion, the government had paid out
SS2, 900, 900 surplus in redemption OF
bonds not required by the sinking
fund. What did the Mckinley con-
gress do? 1t found the government
a great banking institution, depend
ent for its credit on limited out
standing obligations as well as on a
sufficient revenue. 1t deliberately
went to work, and by 1892 had cut
down the federal revenue 10 per
cent, increased expenses 90 per cent.
and expended demand obligations 20
per cent, imposing at the same time
an annual increase in the fioatingdeb
Of $50,OOO,0OO. The strongest private
would have gone to
wreck under such amazingly reck-
less policy; it is hardly surprising that
the treasury was forced to ask the
aid of bankers. In government
finance nothing parallel to this has
been witnessed since the fnancier-
Ing of the French revolution. The
Tribune and Senator Sherman CO.
operated to encourage and applaud
this labor of destruction. And yet
today both have the audacity to
TO affirm that ''the intelligent nation
al policy" which forfeited the
was recovered only by the
election of 1892. A more monstrous
piece of political hypocrisy our ma
,ional history fails to show.-New
ng York Evening Post.

"Well, he wasn't. He acted just as mean
as he could about it,"
"What did he dof'
HE didn't do anything. I thought
he'd make an awful fuss and get the story

have talked about our romance, and we'd
have been somebody. But he didn't make
any fuss about it at all"

There Will i,a no War.

Here is our opinisn about the war
that is threatened between England
and the United states.
There win be no war. Not that
England is.afrHid TO fight, but fcr two
good reasons other than that.
First, she'dare not, and second, 1t
would not pay her.
On the first proposition, EHgiand
is so tied up with holding her posses
sions down, that the moment she be-
came engaged in a war that would
tax all her strength rebellions would
spring up in her possessions like
weeds in the spring. Canada would
throw of the yoke, Australia would
follow, British Guiana would join in
Venezuela. Ireland would kick out OF
the traces; even Scotland might wake
from her slumbers. Other powers
would seize coveted possessions. 1t
would be the end OF England. But
IHdt l5 HOu dll. DHe 10 COo OiOoOiJ "i
lied with the United States in money,
stock, securities, and business enter
prises that to-day are more to her
than every inch OF ground in Venezue-
la is if she had II all. Little by little
all these years England has been en-
croaehing just enough to be doing it
and not enough to kick up war. 1t
has come to q head now, and will
stop here. There will be no war.
And we believe one good result will
come of the present controversy, and
that is: The U. s. will depend more
upon it's own resources and citizens
han upon England, in financial
way.

The most conservative authorities place
the wealth of Rockefeller, the Standard
Oil magnate, at $200,OO0,OO0. Did you
over figure on what this vast fortune would
look like IL coined into standard silver
dollars? The largest elevator in the coun-
try would burst under the weight Of such
an immense pile of shining silver disks,
and all the drays and transfer wagons in
st. Louis couldn't transport it across the
Eads bridge in two days. The exact fig
ures are as follows; The metal in 300, 000,.
600 silver dollars will weigh upward Of
5000 tonsl To move this mass of metal
across the country would require 30
freight trains of ten cars each, each carry
ing II tons of silver. II melted and
nodded into a silver monument, the ool-
umn would be a foot square and SH miles
in height. 1t would take III, 900 men 80
hours to carry such a fortune over the
bridge to East st. Louis. If piled one
upon the other, these dollars would make
a column 887X miles In height, or, II laid
side by side, they would completely hidO a
patch of Missouri soil 30 feet wide and 10
miles long. st. Louis Republic.

The Pension Bureau and it's En-.
emies.

| em1eS.
The able and thoroughgoing report
OF the Hon. John M. Reynolds, As
sistant Secretary of the Interior
evinces the judicious care with which
the pension laws are administered,
Instead OF interposing technical OBJ
Jectlons to meritorious claims, saws
the Philadelphia Record, the report
shows that while the interests of the
Government are prudently guarded
against fraud, a liberal spirit per-
vades the application of the laws.
The Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, who is in fact the legal adviser
OF the Pension Bureau, and Commits
sioner Lochren act together in pre-
rect harmony, and the result is that
just claims have never been disposed
OF with more promptness. But it
still serves the purpose of unscrupu-
lous partisan organs to slander and
malign the Pension Bureau, charging
the Secretary of the Interior with
the utmost hostility toward the vet
erans. The only ground for this
absurd accusation is that Secretary
Smith, who has nothing to do with
the practical administration of the
Pension Bureau, is resident of the
South. But the fact that Commits
sioner Lochren, who comes from
minnesota. is veteran of the Union
army and in thorough sympathy with
his comrades, is carefully ignored by
the partisan assailants of the Ad-
mln1stration. The truth is that the
partisan assaults on the Pension
Bureau are only another exhibition
OF the same pseudo-mania which be-
trays itself in the warfare upon all
the acts of Democratic administra-
ton. Like kleptomania, the disease,
whether due to degeneracy or an
acquired habit, appears to be in
durable.
Herbert Spencer and August Weis-
mann have been recently engaged in
warm dispute over the Scientific
question whether the acquired traits
OF an individual can be transmitted
to his progeny. IfSpencer's position
that such transmission does occnr be
correct, it is impossible to predict to
what degree the habit of partisan
lying will infect the next generation.
The old soldiers know how little
truth there is in the partisan assaults
on the Pension Bureau under it's pres
ent management. They attach as |
much Importance to those attacks
upon the good faith of the Govern
ment toward them as they did to the |
camp stories so frequently set afoat |
~ wantonness and mendacity when |
they were In the field. The expert
enced veterans can readily trace the |
lying abuse of the Pension Bureau to |
much the same source, with the old |
and familiar inventions Of the camp.
But the partisan fictions about the |
Pension Bureau have not been de-
signed for their consumption. The |
veterans with meritorious claims |
upon the Government have no cause
of complaint, and make none, in re-
gard to the disposition of their cases. |
The only complaints come from the
undeserving or from such claimants
as have seen little service in the field,
and consequently are unable to dis
fact from false camp
rumor.

February 12.-Johnnie Jordan is very

We have been informed that parties
from New Hampshire have, at different
times come into this state, under cover of
darkness, and have gone back into our
forests, following the logging roads up
the Willard stream and elsewhere, and
hunted and killed our deer, when they
were to be found, and the next night re
turned home with their booty. We have
no doubt that many deer are killed in
this way aud believe if our laws could be
amended so as to allow deer to be killed
in this state during the months of Oct
ober and November, there would be no
more deer killed, than under the present
law, and law-abiding citizens could secure
some of the deer as well as outsiders, who
have no regard for our laws and can
evade them with impunity.
