HITS IT ExAcTLY.-We sometimes
get bright CLEANS of truth from uuex
pected sources. Thus in recent issue
the Mexican Financier used these
words: I'VE have shown, many times,
that the prime economic evils of the
United States are the enormous ex-
penditure for pensions. exceeding what
several first cluss European nations
spend on their standing armies, and
the high protective tariff. When dull
times come. as now exist. the people
soreiy feel the effects of the extortion-
ate protective duties, enhancing the
cost of living, and only contributing
to the wealth of the minority of the
people" The pensions. also, in hard
times, press very heavily upon our peo-
pie. But for the excessive extension
of our pension list the government
would not have had deficits last year
and the year before. A gift of $780,
100000 year for pensions comes easy
in flush times, but in tim5s like these
it tests ones pocket nerve.-Balt. Sun

THE WEATHER.

There is an old saying that, IF March shall
come in like a lamb, it will go out like lion;
and, vice versa. if it shall come in like lion,
it will go out like lamb" As with many
other sayings in reference to the weather, this
is fallacious. The first day of March does not
indicate what the weather will be on the last
day, any more than any other day of the
month, and not as much as the day preced-
ing the last. On the LIST of March this year,
the weather was calm and warm, the Their
mometer registering as high as 60 degrees. sa

the heavens at that temperature showed that
there was much moisture in the air, and that
