THE P0STOFFTGE.

AA a@ 4 sSt3 4 VI 4 . - As-
 Tho editor cf the GRtpnIc was in- vited during the postoniee cam paign. to sign some or tho petetions of applicants for appointment, but being a Democrat, we respectfully but emphaticaily declined to do any thing of the kind. Now since the recommendation of Ferd Havis for the appoiatmen by Republican State Executive Committee foc Post master at Pine Bluff, we have been solicited by number of friends to sign a protest against said appoint ment. But we shall do nothing of the sort. Theeditor Of the GRAPHIC is Democrat, and supported Mr. Bryan in tho last campaign. As a Democrat VIC have nothing whatever to do with the appointment Of Re publican postmaster at Pine Bluff, aud we don't propose to get mixed up in any Republican rueus over the spells of office Let those who supported Mckinley and the Me. Einley Aid Society, better known as the Palmer and Buckner Democrats,
 fight itout among themselves. They need not appeal to straight ticket Democratic paper like the GRApHIe for either aid or comfort. They supported Mckinley either directly or indirectly during the last cam. paien and now let them take their medicine. Tho responsibility is on their heads, not ours. They might have known then, as they must see now, that the Republican party is as much in favor of negro domina- ton in the South al present as In the past.
 lt will ba. readily observed that some of those who are most active in carrying il to the President are recalcitrant Democrats who op- posed She late straight ticket in be- half Of a Republican compromise in this county, and who either sup ported Mckinley or Palmer in the last National campaign. They sowed to the winds and are now reaping the whirlWinds. The fruit is the harvest of their own folly. We are sorry for them, but we ean't heip them. However. the recom- mendation of Hayis may bring them to their reason, and show them the error of their way. 1t may be a bitter pill for them to swallow, bat the more offensive is Haqis ap- pointmert, the greater it win re. dound to the interest of the Demo- cratic party in the South. There are also a number of Northern Re publicaus in the South who vote with the Democrats in State and County affairs. The appointment of Hayis as postmaster of Pine Bluff can | fail to make better Democrats out of this class ot citizens
 The GaApnlo's advice therefore, to those who are disgruntled over Havis recommendation, $, to take their medicine with the best grace possible and profit in the future by their experience.

EcoNoNIe understanding is never apprehended through political bias. That mind that has honesty of in
 teniion and earnestness of purpose and that is wiling to pay the price of giving up its most idealized dreams, when found to be illusions, is the ono that sees the nothing ness Of the dark clouds oi public opinion, and proves it by going right through itin order to find the somethingness of reality. To such mind political theories and opinions are but the froth and foam of economic error. The atesman is one who understands these facts; a demagogue is one who talks and theorizes and is sometimes capable of juggling words into well sonnd
 ing but meaningless phrases, but more often fails even in this. .-Ex.

TIE PENSION GR1R.

HE 4 1sAh sJL0Af V
 The first annual report of the Commissioner of Pensions, H. Clay Evans, to the Secretary of the Inte- riot, has been made public. A sum mary follows
 The names of 90, ,101 new pension CTS were added to the rolls during the year, and 2, 3,971 persons were re- stored to the rolls. a total of 54, G72. During the same period the losses to the roll were 31 ,960 by deaths, 1,074 by remarriage of widows, l ,845 by legal limitation (minors) 2,G83 for failure 10 claim pension for three years, and 1, ,560 for other causes - an aggregate of II 122. The whole number of pensioners on the roll June 30, 1S97, was 97G, OH. The net pain oyer the previous year was , 1866.
 eIt will be seen that the pension roll has not yet begun to show any dimiaution, says Mir Evans, though it has been anticipated by my predecessors in office that such would be the fact. Seven widows of revolutionary soldiers still are on the rolls
 During the year. 9l, 45l pension certificates were issued, of which number 90, 5o1 were original allow anecs and the balance were reissues, increases, restorations, etc.
 'Of this number, 14,67I eertifi- catcs of various classes were held in this bureau until July l, 1897, and are accordingly not credited to the last fiscal year During the same period, 76,234 claims of various classes were disallowej. The num Der, however, does Lot include claims which were made for higher rates C pensions. Tbe amount dis bursed for pensions by the pension agents during the year was SI39,- 199, ,242.l2, and tbe amount disbursed by Treasury settlement was S139,- 799, PIP. F, and the amount disbursed by Treasury settlement was S150, l75 g, total of Sl39, ,a49, 71I35. This exceeds the amount disbursed during the fiscal year 1896 by the sum of S1, 5Sl, 480. 185. If the 14,G7l certificates which, as before stated, were held in this bureau until July 1897, had been mailed 10 the pen ion agents during the fiscal year, they would have required first pay ments, amounting to S2 219l, ,G94, be sides the additional annual value, which also would have heen q charge upon the appropriation. This amount. added 10 that actually dis bursed, makes m aggregate of SILL 99O,3 The appropriation for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year 1897 was only Sl40, GOO, 000. Tho average annual value of each pension under the general law was S1620 04; each under the act of June 27, 1890, was Sl09.25. Tie aggre- gate annual value of all pensions at the close of the year was s129, 795, i2s. This, of course, excludes the eases that were hold up. Forty four original and seven duplicate land claims were admitted and 145 original claims Of this character were rejected.
 Just think oft, dear reader; alter the war mas been ended more than 90 years this government is called upon 10 support 976, persons at an outlay of $l40, ,0o0, GOO. Talk about swindles and steals, such as this would break any government, and it is no wonGer that the United States has to issue bonds ii order to pay expenses.
