sion disbursements were $50, $50, 526. 10.
In 1897, eighteen years after Garfield
said this, the disbursements on account
of pensions were s13s. gag, 71735, or more
than three and a half times as much
as in 1879 In 1897 there were applica-
tons for pension from fifteen widows OF
soldiers of. the war of 1872. This doesn't
look much as though the burdens Of
the pension list were going to be less
ened very materially very soon. The
commissioner of pensions. Mr.. Evans,
had hoped when he entered on the dis
charge of the duties OF his Office that
he would be able to make q consider
able reduction in expenditures, but he
was soon compelled to give up expec-
tation of doing so. OF course another
war would mean more pensions. per-
haps enough to make any reduction of
any considerable amount from the sum
row paid out impossible for at least
fifty years to come. Pensions have got
ten into politics so thoroughly and so
far that they wiz not be any less Of
a burden than they are now so long as
it is possible to prevent 1essening them.

California papers are making loud
complaints against the course of the
Southern Pacific in the matter Of
freight and passenger rates. Thus the
San Francisco Call, after saying that
according to the Riverside Press there
were shipped from southern California
during the first week in March $50
standard cars of oranges of 336 boxes
each, as against 3S3 cars for the same
period last year. and 231 cars for the
first week of March, 1896, and that the
total shipments for the season have
been 1924 cars, as against 3.S45 cars last
year to March :, and 1858 cars to March
7. 1896. says. in part:
The situation in the south has its
counterpart in this city. The Southern
Pacific company not only holds up the
cost of shipping California products
east, but it maintains exorbitant rates
for passenger travel and freight from
the east to this city. Thus while we
ought to have received something like
a business boom from the Alaskan rush
we have gained but a comparatively
small increase. The trade has been
largely carried to northern ports, and
San Francisco has had to make her
fight for Alaskan business not only
against her natural competitors, but
against the opposition of the road that
should have worked theoretically on her
side.
with the southern counties cinched
and San Francisco sidetracked. Cali
fornia has good reason and just cause
to complain of the manner in which her
great railway lines are conducted. 1t
seems as if the managers of these
roads are doing everything they can to
retard the progress of the state, and
are more eager to grasp few cents of
undue revenue today than to build up
a trade that would bring them in dol
lars in the place of cents in the fu-
ture"

SENATOR PROCTOR ON CUBA.

There have been many accounts of
the condition of affairs in Cuba, ac-
counts intended to stir the blood and
infame the imagination. but it is
doubtful if any of all the many ac-
counts really give so truly vivid n
picture of matters in Cuba as that of
Senator Proctor. which he read in the
senate Thursday. There was no at
tempt to be impressive. no seeking
after effect, nothing but a plain,
straightforward statement of things
as he found them. and this plainness
and raightforwardness gave to what
he said a force and impressiveness that
nothing else could have given it.
And what condition of things the
senator describes, He says that the
fortified towns where the reconcentra-
dos are are virtually prison yards;
and his description of them shows
them to be prison yards Of the very
worst class. He says it is not war
neither is it peace that reigns in Cuba,
only desolation and destruction,
misery and starvation; it is practically
the same condition that has existed in
Cuba whenever there have been in
surrection and rebellion in the island.
When will it cease? Unless this coun-
try intervenes there are no signs that
there viii be any cessation Of existing
conditions for long, long time. On
the contrary everything seems to point
TO a continuation of these conditions.
The contest appears to have settled
down 10 question. power to resist
starvation and disease.
Senator Proctor says ne is opposed
to the annexation of the island for
the reason that its inhabitants are of
a foreign tongue and training and
without any strong guiding American
element. However well prepared the
Cubans may be to manage their own
affairs nothing is more certain than
that they are not prepared to partlci-
pate in the control of American affairs.
What Senator Proctor says on the
Cuban question is very apt to have
great influence, for his statements are
conservative and viii be regarded as
authoritative.

CURRENCY REFORM.

Would it not be a good idea tc
strengthen the country for war by en-
acting a wise measure of currency re
formy" says the Indianapolis News
In such emergencies financial strength
is as much to be desired as military
ard naval strength"
The country is pretty well united at
present in the presence of possible
serious foreign complications. but agi-
tation of the currency question in con-
gress at this time would not have a
tendency TO draw parties more strongly
together. Congress has just voted $50
600, GOO for national defense, entrusting
the expenditure of that vast sum to
the president, he to 90 with it as he
shall deem best. Does anybody sup
pose for a single moment that If it
had been proposed to make a bond is
sue TO raise that amount 10 place at
the presidents disposal it would have
been possible to have gotten bill for
that purpose through the senate if it
had been provided that said bonds
should be made payable in GOLD?
The talk of the News about strength
ening the country for war by enacting
"a wise currency measure" simply
means the enactment of a law provid-
ing that all obligations of the govern
ment shall be paid in gold. Nothing
is more certain than that there will
be no such legislation so long as the
senate is constituted as it is. The sill
Yer men there would never vote for it
nor permit it to become law. When
ever those avowing such legislation
have talked they have said much about
the patriotism of the matter and how
unpatriotic and traitorous it was for
any one to oppose such legislation, but
since the Maine disaster this kind of
talk has ceased, and today the country
would not listen TO any nonsense about
the lack of patriotism on the part of
the advocates of silver. they have
demonstrated their patriotism so that
even the most rampant anti-silver man
has the temerity to dispute it.
If the president does not want TO stir
up hornets nest at a time when
hornets nests above all things are not
wanted, he will do wisely to let the
currency question rest; and this viii
probably be his course until our rela-
tons with Spain are less strained than
at present.

a WAR TIME PICTURE.


Many who are talking lightly and
| glibly of war with Spain do not realize
what war means The veterans of the
civil war know VI hat it means and tn y
are the last to want war, though they
would be the first to offer their SER
vices should it come. The pomp ard
circumstance of war as told in story
and in song are captivating TO the i'm
agination. and this. is what people
! chiefly think about when they talk of
war. But there is another side to it, a
side that presents nothing but scene
of suffering and horror, and this is the
one that is commonest. Such a scene
| is described by Surgeon c. S. Wood, of
the Slxty-siXth y. Y. ", in his report
on the surgery at Fair Oaks. Surgeon
Wood says:
The first popularity observable in the
wounded was the large proportion of
! injuries of the upper part of the BODY,
ard the variety of wounds from large
projectiles The men, faJigued
by marches through muddy roads, in
building corduroy roads and intrench-
ments depressed by exposure and the
use of bad water. had their powers Of
vital resistance diminished, ard many
died from shock of their injuries or
from the operations required, who, I'M
der more favorable circumstances,
might have rallied and recovered. We
were far from our base of supplies, and
could give the wounded but few OF
those comforts which were urgently
needed. There were some
frightful wounds of the face with COM
miputed fractures of both maSiiiae.
Among them were examples in which
the hard and soft palates wNrn o.
stroyed, and the tongue almost cut in
two. Many Of these NCuid iNS IUi U..ss,
unable even to swallow water.
The great inconvenience exp srfsnced
was from maggots infesting WOUNDS.
In twelve hours after dressing a stump
or lacera Ted wound, il would be liter
ally covered with these loathsome lar
vac, and in tWenty-four hours, the
stump would look as though a swarm
of bees had settled upon it. In pene-
trating wounds of the cavities, when
the dressings were removed, these
worms could be seen crawling through
the body; and the patient would oe
conscious of this. and have great de-
spondency from the belief that. as they
expressed it, they were being eaten up
alive. After a few days, when
all the more important wounds had re
ceived attention. the patients were
transferred to the depot, half q mile
distant where they were Immediately
ordered to be removed by the railroad
cars; but, through some misunder-
standing. they lay by hundreds on
either side of the railroad track, and
much of the time exposed to drench-
ing rain, without shelter. Shivering
from the cold, calling for water, food.
and dressings, these sufferers afforded
the most heart-rending spectacle that
it has been my lot TO witness. Many
died from this exposure. and others
prayed for death to relieve them from
their anguish. All fields of carnage are
horrid enough, but this one was pre-
eminently so.
This tells of the manned and wounded
and makes DO mention of the dead. The
scene here described is one witnessed
after every battle. Let war be avoided
If possible.

A CHALLENGE.

This week the governors of the states
of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming were
in consultation in this city as to the
best means of suppressing lawlessness
along the borders of their respective
states. What plans. if any. they formed,
the public does not know, but almost
Immediately following their adjourn
ment comes the news from thompson
Springs that members of the Robbers
Itoost gang have held up a stcrekeeper
there and robbed him of several hun
dred dollars. This seems like a chal-
lenge to the authorities; it is to be
hoped that it viii be taken up and that
those who have thus thrown down the
gauntlet viii be hunted down and cap
tured. This win mean much trouble in
all likelihood, and considerable ex-
pense. but the law should be vindi-
Gated. If this outrage at Thompson's
Springs is the answer of the despera-
does who congregate along the eastern.

are going to try and run things with
a very high hand this year. They have

future. Life among the ranchers and
farmers of the eastern counties will be
rendered insecure, while their stock will
be prey to these lawless desperadoes;
in fact the condition Of things there will
be intolerable. The time has come when
these law breakers and marauders
should be suppressed; if they are not
there win be a reign of terror in the
eastern part of the state such as there
never has been. Things have come to
that pass that law or Iawlessness must
reign supreme in eastern Utah.
