The greatest piece of impotence
ever exhibited, is the talk of the
Boltocrats about recognizing the
Democratic party, after betraying
it into the hands of it's enemies.

From The Presidents Message.
Jbe diminution of our enormous
pensfoR roll and the decrease OF
pension expenditure, which have
been so often confidently foretold
still fail in material realIz ,tion
The numb Der OF pensioners on the
rolls at the close OF the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1896, was go. 678.
This is the largest number ever
reported. The amount paid ex
clusively for pensions during the
year was $13S, PA. 761. "a, a slight
decrease from that of the preceding
year, while the total expenditures
on account OF pensions, including
the cost of maintaining the depart

The number of persons receiv-
Ing pensions from the United Stat. s.
but residing in foreign countries
at the close of the last fiscal wear
was 1871, and the amount paid to
them during the fiscal year was
1882, 1858.
The sum appropriated for the
payment of pensions for the cur
rent fiscal year ending June 80,
1897. was $40, 900 600, and for the
succeeding year It is estimated that
the same amount will be necessary.
The Commissioners of Pensions
reports that during the last fiscal
year 339 indictments were found
against violators of the pension
laws. Upon these indictments 167
convictions followed.
In my opinion, based upon such
statements as these and much other
information and observations. the
abuses which have been allowed to
creep into our pension system have
done incalcalable harm in democrat

From the Wheeling News.

been vexing Republican politicians.
The secretary OF state will be the

the last campaign. This statement
is made on high authority and
Games directly from the governor
elect himself. That Mr.. Dawson
ls entitled to the plum no one
doubts for he has been a m ost faith
ful and active campaigner in season
and out and the appointment will
meet with approval among Repub-
leans from all sections of the state
The Office is the best within the
gift of the new governor and Mr..
Dawson certainly deserves what he
has secured. 1t is said IN some
circles that there never really was
any doubt Of Mr.. Dawson securing
the secretaryship and that long be-
fore the Parkersburg convention he
was promised the place. 1t is also
stated that the deal was the result
OF an agreement between Atkinson
and Dawson that the latter should
withdraw from the gubernatorial
race. Whether these stories are
founded on fact or not there is now
no longer any question as to the
disposition of the premiership and
Mr.. Atkinson will make the appoint
ment at the proper time.

this receipt, which the whole world
ought to know:
At the first indication of diph.
liberia in the throat of a child make
the room close, then take a tin cup
and pour into it u quantity Of tar
and turpentine, equal parts. Then
hold the cup over fire, so as to ell
the room with fumes. The little
patient on inhaling the fumes will
cough up and spit out all the mem
braneous matter, and the dlphthe-
ria will pass out. The fumes of
the tar and turpentine loosen the
matter in the throat and thus afford
the relief that has baffied the skill
of physicians.

The Treloar Copyrieht Bill.

A delegation representing the interests of
authors. photographers and publishers has
appeared before the House committee on
patents in opposition to the Treloar
copyright bill. In the party were Robert
Underwood johnson, secretary of the Az
thors' and Publishers League: Charles A.
Bolles, secretary, and B. Lowinson, attor-
ney. of the Photographers League; Charles
B. Bayly Of Washington and Librarian
Spofford of the Congressional Library.
Mr.. johnson presented resolutions adopt
ed by the Authors League, and spoke In
elaboration of them. The authors contend
that the bill renders it uncertain whether
the work of foreigner can be copyrighted
otherwise than through the assignment CT
his interest to a citizen of the United
States, and that it's effect would be to bring
about a revocation of the copyright rCla-
tions entered into under the act Of 1881
with foreign governments.
A protest was presented from the Amer
lean Publishers Copyright League princi-
pally against that feature of the bill stip-
uiating that musical compositions and re-
productions CT works Of art in the form of
er cravings, etc. must be manufactured
wholly in the United States to be copy
righted.

Democrats of Georgetown Held
Meeting Last NiEht.

DehhocTats o1 georgetown Helu n
Meeting Last Night.
The democrats of the third and fourth
ards comprising Georgetown, held a live
ly and interesting meeting last evening at
Mr.. Fiekling's office, corner of 32d and N
streets. The object of the meeting was
to select a candidate from that section to
be backed as delegate to the national con-
vention. AS stated in The Star yesterday,
there were only two candidates, Samuel
E. Wheatley, ex-Commissioner of the Dis
trict, and Edwin Forrest, a well-known
lawyer.
AT the meeting the friends of both men
were about evenly divided Mr.. Joseph
r. Tanning was elected chairman of the
meeting, and though the audience was in
favor OF selecting resident and voter
lnder the OLD corporation of Georgetown,
that was perhaps the only point of agree
ment. The name of Mr.. Wheatley was
presented, and he was backed by the peo-
pie or the fourth district present at the
meeting. The name of Mr.. Forrest was
Immediately placed in nomination and
backed by the representatives of his ward.
Though the attendance at the meeting was
limited, fully two hours were spent IN ora
torlcal effort, In which every one partici-
pated.
1t was impossible to agree upon a single
man, and an IDEA was suggested by ex-
Collector OF Customs Manogue which was
adopted. The suggestion oprovided that
the names of Mr.. WheasleN. and Mr.. For
| rest be printed on the BALLOT slips and a
popular vote be taken on fife night of the
| number of votes should be the candidate
| the local six delegates FROM the two wards
| backing the highest mano Ii order to pre-
vent any false voting ,Mr..<Wheatley was
to be permitted to be Judge a, the third
primary, while Mr.. ForrestSWas entitled to
judge at the primary in athe fourth dis
trict. This ended the meeting.
MI. Wheatley, speaking Ito a Star re-
| use of his name in connection with the
Georgetown democratic contention at Chi
| cago. said: Upon reflection / have decided
not to allow my name to be used in this
contest. consider Mr.. Forrest eminently
| fitted to represent the democracy of
Georgetown, and it would be good to har-
monte all interests by agreeing upon him
as candidate"
According to this Mr. Wheatley is out OF
the race.
