PARTITION OF There ap-
pears to be a scheme among the
great powers of Europe to partition
the Chinese Empire. Germany and
Russia have each taken possession of
a Chinese seaport and France, it is
thought, is meditating similar
move. The Cabinet at Washington
recently had the matter under con-
sidcration, but, in the absence of spe-
citiC Information, nothing was done,
though this government will keep a
watchful eye upon the situation as it
develops, in order that full protec-
ton may be given to the interests Of
the United States in China, as guar
antced by our treaties with that
country.

The Pension Fraud.

The Pension Fraud.
In a recent speech on the floor of
the House, Representative Allen, of
Mississippi, said:
81 find that there were on the LIST
day of July, this year, on the pen
sion rolls 976,0li pensioners, and
| that there are pending more than
| 600, 900 applications uuadjudiCatcd.
/ These appliCati0nsare, many 0t them,
! for original pensions, many for in
7 CreaseS of pension, and some for re-
/ instatcmCut on the rolls, and there
arc hundreds of new applications be-
! ing filed every day.
| notwithstanding the war has been
over more than thirty.tw0 years, tn"
pension roll is larger now than ever
| before, and growing larger every day.
| find that there have been pcnSlOncG
! | ,i24, $40 pensioners on account of
the civil war. | find that this Gov
eminent has paid out in pensions
since the close ofthe war over 50, 100, =
100000, and that now we are paying
out every day nearly half of the en-
tire revenue of this great Govern
ment for pensions; that we are pay
ing more than twice rs much, from
the best information | can gather, as
all the rest of the nations of the
world; that France maintains II
standing army of more than half n
million Of men for about two thirds
of what our pensioners cost us, and
that Russia maintains standing
army of almost 100000 Of men at
n less cost than our pension roll"
Twenty-one years ago, when the
late President Garfield was mem
Der of the House, he, in discussing
the pension bill then before the
House carrying an appropriation of
cbout twenty-eight and a half mil
lions, expressed the opinion that the
maximum had been reached. Did
he ever dream that the annual appro-
priation for pensions would reach
$50, 900, 900?

What Is the Matter with West Vir-
|iuia Lumber!

Sihid
Since August 18th last we have
been carrying, in our advertising col
umns an advertisement of Georgia
pine lumber. such an advertisement
III our paper, right at the doors of
one of the largest lumber mills in
the State and in the center of the
finest lumber districts in the United
States, would seem upon the part of
the advertiser II silly proceeding and
wanton waste of money and energy.
But such is not the case. The adj
tiser is selling his product right here
in " Newcastle" He has sold three
carloads Of pine lumber, to our
knowledge, to the contractors for the
buildings that are now i'm process of
erection in this town.
Now, why is this so: The eXpla.
nation given by the Ronceverte mill
and The high tariffyawpcrs is that the
mill has been compelled to shut down
~ i'hSoII pl lHe uISaSlerOuS cODS9-
quenCCs Of the Wilson tariff BILL
The Wilson bill ought to affect all
businesses OF this character in the
same way. Why has it not shut
down the Georgia mills? They seem
to be doing business right along
What is To protect our pet enterprise
from Georgia pine? If we can't
compete with Georgia pine right
here, within one hundred yards of
the largest mill in the State, (the
Georgia lumber j. delivered almost
in its yards, how can we hope to
cope with it in the markets of the
East: Truly, the prospect for our
pet enterprise seems hopeless, re-
SardleSs Of the Wilson bill, Dingley
bill or any other bill, if it can't COM
pete with Georgia pine right here on
its own dung hill. Indeed, if our
information be correct, il is Georgia
pine rather than the Wilson bill that
is interfering with the sale of West
Virginia lumber in the Eastern mar
kets.
