THE PENSION LIST
Will &c Increased by the Loss in
This War.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Although
the pension appropriation is by all
odds the largest lump sum demanded
by the United States treasury, the
more than one hundred and forty milli-
on dollar estimate for 1890 will be
largely increased by what has already
happened to our troops since Dewey
day at Manila.
Though the loss of life has been tri-
fling compared with the civil war, 300
dead and 1 ZOO or 1,500 wounded since
May l must be paid for, so to speak.
A good many widows and orphans have
been made who will be entitled to PEN
sions, and serious wounds inflicted by
Mauser rifles have crippled many soldi-
ers for life and incapacitated them for
work. Less than $3.50, 900 will be add
ed to the pension list by the casualties
thus far.

LONDON, July 15.-The powers on
this side OF the ocean are getting ready
to watch Commodore Wstson's opera

The aptness of a quotation from the
Bible-Isaiah 3:12-was never shown
more foreibly than in speech recently
delivered in the Spanish Cortes by a
Carlist deputy. After eloquently ar
raigning the government for their ia
capacity, he closed with these words
from Isaiah, "As for my people, chill
dren are their oppressors, and women
rule over them, o, my people, they
which lead thee cause thee to err, and

Cortes was instantly in an uproar, and
the deputy, having refused to recall his
words, was expelled for the remainder
of the session.

DUDES AND MOTHERS Boys"


If the unfortunate people who gloat
over sensational romances can be
wooed to read anything else-for in
stance, true tales Of daring deeds-ths
events of the present war may tend to
dispel certain of their illusions and
supply them with some new ideals.
These students of ferocious fiction
have always imagined heroes as rough
in appearance and manner; careless, II
not profane, in speech, and not at all
strict as to habits. They have ap-
peared to cherish the notion that BRAY
cry ttourished best when unaccompa-
MED by any other virtue.
1t will surprise such persons to learn
chat, long ago, the hero of Manila was
n1cknamed by his intimates, DANDY
Dewey" Stranger yet--so, at least,
they may think-the young lieutenant
who took the Merrimac into Santiago
harbor was always proud to be known
as a mother boy" Both of these Of
hcers are members Of the church, and
HobsOn was an active worker In the
Young Mems Christian Association.
These are facts that may make silly
people wonder. But the people who
have studied character as expressed In
human lives are not surprised that men
like Dewey and Hobson were first to
gain renown. All experience teaches
that, when hoodlums would bluster
and run away, the man who rises 70
an emergency is the quiet, modest
gentleman who respects
his body and realizes that he has
soul.

Those astonishing reports from

congress which indicated that the Ha-

likely to fail can not stand the test of
examination. Many of the men who
were regarded as opposed to the treaty
are now indicating a disposition to sup
port it, and the chief opposition yet re-
naming comes from those who are
unwilling to look with favor upon
anything originating with the Repub-
lican party. as this proposition does.

protest, since she sees that the United
