Discussing the question OF pensions,
the Washington post says that it is a
fact OF which some complain and others
are proud, that the United States has a
large pension roll-arger than that of any
other nation. A large portion OF our re,
venue has for some years past been devot-
ed to the payment Of war pensions, and
we have small civil pension last, created
by special acts of Congress But there is
nothing in onr pension system that even
the most censorious OF its critics could
make TO appear a hundredth part as oh
jectionable as many OF the items on the
pension roll OF England.
1t is almost incomprehensible how
people who have reduced monarchy to a
mere shadow and have established their
right to rule "a people quite as demo
cratic as those OF this republic, can toler-
ate the continuance OF pensions granted
centuries ago to the far remote ancestors
Of those who are now in receipt OF them.
Ia 1878, more than 200 years ago, Char
les ii granted "A pension in perpetuity
equal to 500, 600 a year to the Duke o.
Portland
There was no good reason for such a
grant. II was made because the Duke
and the King were on very friendly
terms. And if faVot Ind been earned by
the Duke, the obligation did not extend
to his successors, did not morally bind |
coming generations OF Englishmen to tax
themselves for successive Dukes But
for eaeh of the past 22l years the English
taxpayers have put up that 800, 600 Tor II
long succession of mtn who have done
nothing in return for it. Meanwhile mil
lions Of the subjects OF The British crown
have starved to death.
This Is but one Of II long list Of Eng
lands pensioners, only few OF whom
have deserved any such consideration.
llorutio Nelson himself mcritcd all thai
he received Of honors and cmolumcnts,
but why should successive generations oi
Earl Nelson get $40. 600 year Some of
these Eoglish pensions were acquired by
fraud, and many of the recipients have
been profligate and disreputshle. but the
payments go on and will continue, nc
cording to present Indications, for many
decades.

WEDNESDAY, JULY IA, 1897.

Commenting on the habit Of treating,
the indianapolis "Newsn says There
is no doubt but that much Of the drunk
enness in this country is induced by the
habit of treating. Among people who
drink at all the habit is so firmly estab-
lisbed as to amount TO an obligation. A
man who drinks at the expense OF a
friend feels in duty bound to allow the
friend to drink at his expense, with the
consequence that they both drink more
than they intended, or more than they
wished.
Treating is a peculiar phase of snob.
berry. 1t is not a token Of good fellow
ship. In Germany the thing is man.
aged much better than 1t is here. The
Dutch treat" as it is called in this
country, consists in each man OF party
ordering and paying for the refre9hment
he desires. 1t is obvious that under such
Il custom there is no chance for snobbish
attempts on the part of conyivial COM
panious to outyis each other in the mat
ter Of expenditure.
The abolition Of the American treat
log habit would mean large falling of
in the consumption OF liquor and nota-
BILE decrease in drunkenness.
