SHARKS JARED POORLY.
Effects of the New Pension Law Shown
Yesterday.

Quite an Improvement in the m amer OF
paying pensions has been effected by the
new system recently put into practice.
The manifold objections Of the Old regu-
lations were seen in the frequency with
which pensioners sold their vouchers after
being executed for sums greatly less than
the face value on pension day.
Yesterday the system worked har-
mon.ously and as 1t is now impossible
for a voucher to be executed before the day
on which the pension comes due the per
centage OF the old soldiers who get the
benefit OF the full pc nsion money is largely
increased and the trade of those sharks
who preyed upon the needs of the veterans
for ready moneS Is ruined.
The plan now ia to have the voucher
executed on pension day and it cannot by
law be done before and dated later. The
voucher is then presented at the PensionOf-
flee or sent by mail and the money paid
to the beneficiary in person. The
evils OF the system have been diminished
IL not entirely eliminated.

From the Chicago Inter- Ocean.
The Argentine wool crop for the
present year is believed by experts to
be the greatest ever obtained. The clip
Of last year weighed 1862, 900 tops. AS
the Argentine republic manufactures
little or zone OF its raw material, the
vast output of this years fleece, pos
sibly 200, 900 tons, will go to further
depress the value OF wool in english
and American markets. Last years
crop sold for 500, 00O, 900.
II mus be plain that no farmer in
the United States can compete with
wool at this price. IL ls, plain, also,
that as long as wool can be raised so
cbeaply In the Argentine republic,
ever such a duty as the Mckinley law
imposed cannot work toward the for.
nation of a trust in United States wool,
for, unless it be sold on a very close
margin of profit, the cheap Argentine
article pays a duty of eleven cents per
pound. Lastly, while it is plain that
raw wool has fallen to the Argentine
level, the manufactured article has not
fallen in like degree. The United
States consumer Of wooden goods is
not greatly benefited by the repeal OF
the wool duties, while the United States
producer Of raw wool has been I'M
poverished to the verge of bankruptcy.
