AN ENGLISHMAN'S OPINIONS
OF the American Political and Financial
Outlook
The Campaign Impresses Him as 4
Battle of the Masses Against Glasses
and Syndicates

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.-Mr
Thomas Lloyd. editor of the London Sta
tist, who has Travelled across the coun-
try, stopping at numerous places, has
sent the following cablegram to his pa.
per in London, to appear tomorrow:
I travelled from Chicago to st. Paul
and over the Northern Pacific to Port
land, Oregon, thence into California to
San Francisco. Chicago was outwardly
busy and prosperous, but really de-
pressed. The stock exchange was closed,
the banks unwilling to lend; factories
were closed; there were numbers of I'M
employed and street beggars were nu-
merous All were anxious for the fu-
ture. St. Paul was also depressed, but
has more hope from the rise in wheat.
The northwest is suffering, even San
Francisco. Party lines are everywhere
obliterated 1t is fight of the masses
against the classes. There is a bitter
feeling in the west against the syndi~
Gates, trusts and combinations, not so
much against the east. New York and
Chicago hope Mckinley will carry sew
eral western states. San Francisco and
Portland disbelieve this. Mckinley is
unpopular in the west. Sound money
and Hanna are disliked by the Working
men. The opinion here is that the elec,
tion will be very close. People are hope
full but not confident that Mckinley vii,
win. The best judges fear a contnu-
ance Of the uneasiness. l find no dislike
toward England. Personally / am most
kindly received. The cool-headed say
they never saw such excitement since
the war. Reject all predictions. The
assumed confidence of politicians is /
part of the game. Bryan is personally
respected. He is fanatic but honest He
exercises a magnetic influence over his
hearers. There is not so much fear in
the west as in the east of socialism anu
sectionalism. though it is admitted that
distressed borrowers dislike the lenders,
and the laborers wish to restrict Federal
Interference with state disturbances.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
Suggested That Additional Reforms
Be Inaugurated.

The interstate commerce commission
has, during the last year, supplied abund-
ant evidence of it's usefulness and the i'm
portance Of work committed to it's charge.
Public transportation is universal neces-
sity, and the question of just and reason
able charges therefor has become of vital
Importance, not only to shippers and car
riers, but also the vast multitude of
producers and consumers. The justice and
equity of the principles embodied in the
existing law, passed for the purpose of
regulating these charges, are everywhere
conceded, and there appears to be no
question that the policy thus entered upon
has a permanent place in our legislation.
AS the present statute, when enacted,
was in the nature OF the case more or less
tentative and experimental it was hardly
expected to supply a complete and ade-
quate system. While it's wholesome effects
are manifest and have amply justified its
enactment, it is evident that all desired
reforms in transportation methods have
not been fully accomplished.
In view of the judicial Interpretation
which some provisions Of this statute have
received and the defects disclosed by
the efforts made for it's enforcement, its
revision and amendment appear to be es-
sential to the end that it may more effect
lively reach the evils most desired to be
corrected. | hope the recommendation of
the commissions upon this subject will be
promptly and fayorably considered by the
Congress.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Wants FOurth-Class Postmaster
ships Included in the List.

ships Included i'm the List.
The progress made in civil service reform
furnishes cause for the utmost congratu-
lations. 1t has survived the doubts of it's
friends as we'll as the rancor of it's enc
mics and has gained a permanent place
among the agencies destined to cleanse our
politics and to improve, economic and ele-
vate the public service.
There are now in the competitive CLASH
fed service upward of $4,000 places More
than half Of these have been included from.
time to time since March 4, 1898. A most
radical and sweeping extension was made
by executive order dated the 9Th day Of
May, 1896, and, if fourth-class postmaster
ships are not included in the statement,
it may be said that practically all positions
contemplated by the civil service law are
now classified. Abundant reasons exist for
including these postmasterships, based up
on economy and improved service and the
peace and quiet of neighborhoods. If, how
ever, obstacles prevent such action at
present, l earnestly hope that Congress
will, without increasing postofice appro-
priations, SO adjust them as to permit in
proper cases a consolidation of these post
offices, to the end that through this pro-

THE PENSION ROLL.
Alleged Abuses Are Commented Up
ON by the President.

The dimunition of our enormous pension
roll and the decrease Of pension expendi-
ture which have been so often confidently
foretold, still fail in material realization.
The number Of pensioners on the rolls at
the close of the fiscal year ended June 80,
1896, was 970,678. This is the largest
number ever reported. The amount paid
exclusively for the pensions during the
year was $138, PA, 1884, a slight decrease
from that OF the preceding year, while the
total expenditures on account of pensions,
including the cost of maintaining the de-
partment and expenses attending pensions
distribution amounted to $142, zoe, 5000, or
within very small fraction Of one-third
of the entire expense Of supporting the
government during the same year. The
number Of new pension certificates issued
was sc, $40. Of these, 40,37 represent or
iginal allowances Of claims and 1873 in
crease of existing pensions.
The number of persons receiving pen
sions from the United States but residing
in foreign countries at the close of the
last fiscal year was 3, ISL, and the amount
paid to them during the year was $685.
1856. 38.
The sum appropriated for the payment
of pensions for the current fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1897, is $40, 100000 and for
the succeeding year it is estimated that
the same amount will be necessary.
The commissioner Of pensions reports
that during the last fiscal year 339 indict-
ments we're found against violators of the
pension laws. Upon these indictments 167
convictions resulted.
In my opinion such statements as these,
and much other information and observa-
ton, the abuses which have been allowed
to creep into our pension system have done
incalculabe harm in demoral1zing our peo-
pie and undermining good citizenship.
have endeavored within my sphere of of
fetal duty to protect our pension roll and
make it what it should be-a roll of honor,
containing the names of those disabled in
their country's service and worthy of their
country's affectionate remembrance.
When I have seen those who pose as the
soldiers friends active and alert in urg-
ing greater laxity and more reckless pen
sion expenditure, while nursing selfish
schemes, have deprecated the approach OF
situation when necessary retrenchment
and enforced economy may lead to an at
tack upon pension abuses so determined as
to overlook the discrimination due to those
who, worthy of nations care, ought to
live and die under the protection of the
nations gratitude.

OUR MILITARY FORCES.
State MILITIA Should BE Supplied
With Modern Arms.

The report of the secretary Of war ex-
hibits satisfactory conditions in the sew
eral branches of the public service intrust-
ed to his charge. The limit of our military
force, as fixed by law, is constantly and
readily maintained. The present discipline
and morals of our army are excellent and
marked progress and efficiency are ap-
parent throughout it's entire organization.
With the exception of delicate duties in
the suppression of slight Indian disturb
&nces along our Southwestern boundary
in which the Mexican troops cooperated,
and the compulsory but peaceful return
with the consent of Great Brittany of a
band of Cree Indians from Montana to the
British possessions, no active operations
have been required of the army during the
year past.
Changes in methods of administration
the abandonment of unnecessary posts and
consequent concentration OF troops, and the
exercise OF care and vigilance by the va
rious officers charged with the response
bility in the expenditure of the appropria-
lions, have resulted in reducing to min
imum the cost of maintenance of our mil
itary establishment During the past year
tie work Of constructing permanent infan-
Try and cavalry posts has been continued
at the places heretofore designated.
The secretary OF war repeats his recon-
mendation that appropriations for barracks
and quarters should more strictly conform
TO the needs OF the service as judged by the
department rather than respond to the
wishes and opportunities of localities. 1t
is imperative that much of the money pro-
Vided for such construction should now be
allotted to the erection of necessary quar-
ters for the garrisons assigned to the coast
defenses, where many men will be needed
to properly care for and operate modern
guns. It is essential, too, that early pro-
vision be made to supply the necessary
force Of artillery to meet the demands of
the service. A&
Improved Arms for the Militia.
The entire army has now been equipped
with the new magazine arms and wise pol
icy demands that all available public and
private resources should be SO employed as
to provide within a reasonable time suf-
ficient number to supply the state militia
with these modern weapons and provide an
ample reserve for any emergency.
The organized militia numbers 1879
men. The appropriations for its support by
the several states approximate $4,000, 900
annually and 600 is contributed by the
general government. Investigation shows
these troops to be we'll drilled and inspect
ed with much military interest, but in
many instances they are so deficient in
proper arms and equipment that a sudden
call to active duty would find them made
quately prepared for field service. there
fore recommend that prompt measures be
taken to remedy this condition and that
every encouragement be given to this de-
serving body CT unpaid and voluntary citi-
zen soldiers upon whose assistance we
must largely rely in time of trouble.

defense alone is essentially pacific in its
nature. While it gives the sense of Sc
curity due to a consciousness Of strength,
it is neither the purpose nor the effect OF
such permanent fertilization to involve us
in foreign complications, but rather to
guarantee us against them. These are
not temptation to war, but security against
it. Thus they are thoroughly in accord
