Pensions.


 The conference committee of the two houses of Congress has agreed on the pension bill, which carries another enormous expenditure. It goes to the President by whom it will no doubt be approved, and the hearts of the pensioners, including the frauds and all, will swell with gratitude to generous nation, toward which, however, a majority of the pensioners manifest no gen eroslty whatever.
 Common ting on the adoption of the conference report, the Houston Post very truly says:
 "All the talk which was induIged lately, even in the Northern press, about the weight of this burden and the demonstrations ot fraud which were published, have come to naught. We might bave as well en- gagged in the pastime of pouring wa ter on ducks back, for all the ef- feet that this popular discussion has had upon congress. The two houses have serenely passed the bill carrying an expenditure of $150,- 900, 900 per annum, about $100, ,000,- 900 of which is an outrageous bur !
 den upon and gross robbery of the people, and will fear no rebuke at the hands of the public when the next congressional elections roll aroundl
 ''Even the dishonest pensioner is not so much to blame as the con- gressman who assists him in pnrpe- trating and perpetuating these frauds. No other nation on earth staggers under such load and it is possible here only by reason of con- gressional demagogy and cowardice.
 "Were congress to provide for a standing army of 100000 men the country would ring with protests and popular indignation and nearly every member of house or senate who voted for such measure would be defeated. But we should get some benefit from a standing army. It would give us prestige abroad, and create feeling of security at home. Yet there are fully 100000 names on the pension rolls, receiv- ing almost as much as the private soldier per month, that all authori- ties agree in saying ought not to be there. Nearly million people are given pensions generation after the war, at cost to the nation larg- CT than the cost of any standing army in Europe, unless it be the army of Russia, and the congress- men and senators who indifferently tolerate or even actively maintain this burden and injustice, are gra- ciously and repeatedly indorsed by the public which they are robbingl
 "A people who have the govern mentin tteir own hands are entitled, of coure, to no better administra- tion of their affairs than they get, but it is hard on the minority who would rectify matters if they could.

Nance O'NeiI and the Rankin Company
Has Large Audiences.


Has Large Audiences.
Nance O'Neil and her company
again charmed large and enthusi-
astic audiences on Saturday after
noon and evening.
The presentation of Camille was
very fine one, and the acting of
Miss O'Neil left nothing to be de-
sired. Her Interpretation of the
part is very strong one. That
the audience was being held by
actress was very plain as in the
more touching parts of the piece
there was hardly dry eye in the
house.
In the evening standing room
was at a premium. Ingomar was
the bill. The honors of the evan
ing were shared by Miss O'Neil
as Psrtbyms and Herbert Carr as
Ingomar. There is nothing much
to the play, but the acting of the
two stars made up for any faults
the piece might have. The story
is of young and beautiful Greek
girl who gives herself up as host
age to a band of bandits of whom
Ingomar is chief. At the time of
her arrival In the camp, the chief
is a rough, uncouth man who loves
nothing but his dog, his horse and
his sword. He lives to fight. The
girl Parthyma comes to the camp
and Ingomar falls in love with
her, and is gradually tanned and
taken to the city, where after some
difficulty with Polydor, an aged
aud wealthy sutton, they are mar
ried and the play ends.
