The republicans are doing more crow.

The republicans are doing more crow
ing over the small Surplus shown by the
Government receipts and expenditures
for the month of December, than they
will over the deficit that January will
certainly show. Mr.. DINGHY has taken
advantage of the situation to issue a
rosy statement in which he ersily
makes it appear-on paper that the
deficiency of $44, OOO,O 900, for the first
half of the current fiscal year will not
be increased during the last half, upon
which the country has just entered, as
though that was something of which he
and his party had right to be justly
proud. What would the stockholders
of big business corporation think of a
management that reported a loss of
$44, 100000 in six months and only
promised that the next six months
should not increase the loss? They
would probably change the manage
mont as quick as they could, just as
tho people intend to do as soon as they
get an opportunity to cast their bal
lot against the present mismanagers of
our affairs.

Pension Frauds,

Returning to discussion Of the pen.
sion question, it is hardly necessary to
say that no democrat is opposed to a
just recognition ON the part of this gov
ernment for services rendered by the
brave soldiers of the civil war.
But every honest citizen, every man
who has the good of his country at heart
whether he be democrat or republic
can, is opposed, and rightly opposed, to
looting the treasury in the interests of
party politics and to the lasting harm
of private citizens and public policy.
Recently the New York Sun devoted
an entire page of its space to AL e1posi-
ton of the abuses of the pension sys-
tenn. An examination of the figures
presented by the Sun shows thot 976, Ola
persons are on the rolls, and of these
there are 6, 405 more survivors" than
it is estimated have survived. Last
year 54,072 claimants for pensions we're
added to the list, and 578, are ap-
pesling for pensions or increases Of
pension. Among these claimants the
Survivor" element not hitherto PEN
stoned at 1835OO.
Thus it is made evident that there are
about 200, 900 more survivors" of the
war than ever took part in it.
The actual estimated cost of the pen
sion system the coming year, exclusive
of any new schemes that congress may
DO induced to adopt, is Sal, 1858, $50.
Compare that item with the cost of the
standing armies of the old world this
year. Here are the figures:

With these facts in view is it not wise
and patriotic to urge careful scrutiny
of the pension roll as it exists today,
and close investigation of all applica-
tons now on Ale or subsequently placed
on file?-Chicago DISPATCH.

MODEL YOUNG MAN,

Rev. o. H. P. Smith of Dover will
lecture for the Epworth League in
the NJ. E. church on Friday evening,
March 4th. Subject, THE Model
Young Man." Admission Is cents,
children 10 cents. The following
press notice is taken from the Litch-
field Saturday Review:
"A large and appreciative audience
assembled at The Methodist church
Tuesday evening to listen to Rev. o.
H. P. Smith of St. Charles, in his fine
lecture on "The Ideal Young Man"
1t was an exceptionally fine lecture.
The close attention of the audience
from first to last betokened the deep
est interest. Mr.. Smith is more than
an orator. He is genius. As an
analyst of character Mr.. Smith has
few equals. His clear and forcible pre-
sentation of the essential elements of
true manhood and womanhood were
captivating, and they easily carried
the audience to the full appreciation
of his many grand and eloquent eli
makes. No one could have heard him
for an hour without feeling that it is
{ the climax of all human attainments
! to be or become true man.
