Times of prosperity are demo-

enjoying the fruits of the democratic
victory of 1899, which established the
conditions under which industry and
trade have found solid place to
stand upon. II has taken a long time
to get rid of the mdlign influences of
the four years of republican rule under
Harrison, but at last these are shaken
off and the country is on the high road
to the greatest prosperity ever known.

the St. Louis Post Dispatch, ''has given
Mr., Mckinley great discomfort, but as
circus was attached in Ohio the other
day he begins to hope that the business
revival is only squirt, and that the re
turn to depression of last year may not
be far off," The failure Of that circus
is not the only failure on which the
governor can base a hope that the hard
times are not yet over There is, for
instance, Gov. McItinley's own great
and lasting failure to find out where
he stands on the silver question Lou

Republican journals persist in
saying that the wooden industry can
not be prosperous under the present
tariff. But it appears that the pro-
ductiye capacity of the wooden ma
chinery now In actual operation
largely exceeds the productive capac-
ity of the machinery in operation in
1892, before the national elections, a
year before the beginning of the panic,

have also shown that since last March
wages have been increased in about

Peary's return from the arctic regious
without having accomplished anything
substantial adds another to the many
abortive attempts to find the North pole.
Better luck has followed the recent aG-
vances into the antarctic regions, the hope
having recently developed in the National
Geographical Society of Great Britain,
based on late explorations, that the pole
may be reached in that quarter with COM
parative ease. But when it is reached,
no one except perhaps, the followers of
John Cleves Symmes, if there be any, ex-
poets that anything more noteworthy
will be found than one of the invisible poles
Of the earth's electric currents. And this
center of energy will be buried deep, in
all probability, under ice and snow. But
until the problem is solved there will be
no slackening of human effort, the latest
theory that will take definite shape, it is
promised, ere long, being that it can only
be reached by balloon.

PENSION LIST GROWING.
About 1000 More Names Added to the
Rolls This Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 26.-A year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren said
that the limit haG probably been reached
in the number of pensions, or rather in
the amount to be yearly appropriated
for pensions, but that for two or three
years the payments would remain about
the same. 1t was his opinion that there
would be slight reduction in the num-
ber of pensioners on account of deaths,
but that the allowance Of new pension
ers, with back pay and arrears, would
probably keep the amount about even,
While the amount of money paid for
pensions will not be materially differ
ent from that OF past years, it appears
that there has been added to the PEN
sion rolls during the year about 1000
names in excess Of those that have
dropped out, so there has been an in
crease instead Of a decrease. There
have been a great many outstapding
pension claims adjustad durina the
year and that accounts for the large in
crease. The year has not been very
fatal TO pensioners, the death rate bel u
less than would be anticipated at the
time OF life at which the veterans -,
the late war have arrived.
