NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC.

Hon. Amos Cummings tells the Wash
ington soost shat he feels sanguire that
New York will go Democratic this Year.
1t matters not what the Chicago Convcn-
ton does, says Mr.. Cummings, the peo-
pie of New York State are thoroughly
disguised with reform administrations
that have produced the Raines bill and
other monstros!tes Of legislation. They
are mad all tine way through and 90 per
cent. of them are more interested in
turning down party that encroaches on
their liberties and brings back an era
of blue laws and fur.saniNn. than in
the platform OF a national convention.
If New York dosen't go Democratic
this fall the Republicans will have a
scant majority. and some of the best
informed men in the party are privately
expressing their fears of dosing the
State"
With Patt on the outside Knocking
Mckinley it need not be surprising If the
Democrats do carry the State of New
York this fall Certainly great efforts
ere to be made in that direction.

UNJUsrLY CRITICIZED

Because Consul-General Lee accepted
an invitation from Captain General
Palace in Havana, there are some smart
people who show a disposition 10 crilti-
CHE the Consul General. forgetting that
they only make themselves ridiculous
by doing so. General Lee was not sent
to Cuba to make war upon Spain. nor
to treat her officers discourteously. and
there was no reason in the world why he
should not have accepted General Wey-
ler's invitation to dinner at the Palace.

GOLD AND SILVER.

The virginian publishes to-day the
able paper prepared by the Hon. Isidor
Raynor, of Maryland, for the Baltimore
Sun. and which appeared in the Monday
issue of that journal. 1t is one OF the
best articles ON the currency question
that has appeared In print and must
command most favorable criticism. Mr..
Rayuor was chairman of the Committee
on Organization of the Fitty-third Con-
gress that had charge of the repeal OF
the Sherman silver purchasing bill and
made the opening speech in the debate.
and with Hon. w. l.. Wilson. OF West
Virginia and the late Michael d. Harter.
of Ohio, led the administration forces in
that memorable contest for the gold
standard against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. The people should be
read by all who wish to be intelligently
informed on this subject

PENSIONS AGAIN.

William L. Curtis says that 970,62A
persons are now drawing pensions from
the Federal government; GS2, lis of that
number were soldiers in the war between
the States. There are 1859 pensioned
widows and minor children, and about
$4,000 navy pensioners. In round num-
begs there are over 900. GOO persons draw
ing pensions as a result of the civil
war 1t Is estimated that 1,l25,G00 men
are stin living who fought in the Unon
army. From the above figures. remarks
the Roanoke Times, It seems that over
GO per cent of them are now drawing
pensions, and 1t is also fact worthy OF
note that after third of a century the
number of Union soldiers drawing pen
sions Is greater than the total number
of soldiers who entered the Confederate
army from the beginning to the end OF
the war.
This pension business is n great bust
ness, surely, and the worst OF 1t all Is
that there seems to be no end 10 1t. No
one objects to honest pensioners drawing
money from the public treasury, but we
think the most of II goes 10 other kinds
who have no shadow of right to the
money they draw.
