The present payment to pensioners
amounts 10 but 81 per head per annum
for every man, woman and child in the
country-a very small sum compared to
the incalculable benefits which have
come to them from the pensioners sac
rifce of themselves for the sake of the
country. In 1865 the interest paid the
bondholders amounted TO S429 pei
head of the population of the country
This was paid in gold, when the average
price Of a gold dollar was s1.57.3, max.
ing the average payment per head s6.74
In greenbacks. In 1866 the interest
paid the bondholders averaged $4.l2 in
gold in 1867 it was 1884 in gold fol
every man, woman and child in the
country. And go it went on. 1t wa.

JAPAN officially informs US that she

help thinking that, with Russia COB

of China shall be, Japan has a great
deal TO engross her attention nearer
home than the middle of the Pacific.

Gus, cruel or searching methods than
they employed?
IA. Was not the result Of their long
continued, stupendous efforts, their lavish
expenditure of money, the most humil-
iating failure in the history of the
Government
Is. Is it not, after the pension system
has passed through such an ordeal, the
supremest folly to pirate of pension
roll stuffed with frauds" and to clamor
loudly for a "purging of the pension
roll?"
16. Are there ADLER, shrewder, more
vindictiye enemies Of the pensioners to
be found in the country than Messrs.
Cleveland, Hoke Smith and Lochren :?
Can they have more unlimited power to
investigate than they had? Can they
be given more money and more time
than they received? Can they possibly
accomplish what they so signally faile d
to discover?
These questions embrace the whole
matter under discussion. We challenge
the anti-pension shrieking cabal to sue
cessfully answer these interrogatories.

New York Sun: The most strlk-

the demonstration Of the stead

patriotic pride and devotion as that
which was made In London last Tues.

Pittsburg Dispatch: The prob
lem that 10 facing Europeans
now is not so much whether they
can have any market for their prod
uCts in the United States, but whether
they can keep the products Of this
country out Of their own markets.
The answer is assuming a negative
look, and the next inquiry will be
what they must do to employ the thou
sands of workmen who have been sup
plying the worlds necessities. 1t Is
evident that England, Germany and
France and the United States cannot
each supply the worlds markets at the
same time, and it is becoming evident
that with the improveme ent of mRchin-
cry and processes each is approaching
point where II will have the capacity
to supply the greater part of the world
with manufactured products If given
the opp ortunity.
Globe. Democrat: The men who oc-
Cupy the seats once held by Calhoun
and McDufie, the great free trade
chieftains of half a century ago, and
belonging to the same party, repudiate
the free trade gospel, Henry Waiter
son, who got out a patent many years
ago on the word "only" as a part of
Democratic tariff uttersnCes, and
Roger Q. Mills, who attempted to put
that restriction into the statutes, are
the sole free traders of prominence
who are left in the South, so far as
known, and they are likely to weaken
in their devotion to that doctrine in
the face of the assaults which It Is re-
CeiVing from its quondam adherents.
The South'S swing to protection in the
past few weeks Is one of the most
striking political changes of an era
which has been rich In picturesque
transformations in the political field.
Mail and Express: "The next Mayor
Of New York;" says the London Spec
tstor, twill be q kind of civic En-
perOr, whose authority within the limits
Of his sphere of action will be greater
than that Of most of the mOnsrchs of
Europe within theirs" Nor is this an
overweight and exaggerated view of
the Mayors powers under the new
charter. Not only will he have abso.
lutte executive power, but the veto
which he will possess over all expendl-
lures, veto which can be overcome
only by a 6Ve-sixths majority Of the
Municipal Council, will almost array
him with legislative power. He will
control for four years the affairs of a
city whose assessed valuation is over
81, s3,0O0,000,000, snd whose annual ex-
penditures will exceed those Of all the
State governments along the seabOsrd,
