REFORM IN PENSIONS.

The Baltimore .Snn, in carefully
prepared article on yesterday, showed
that nearly half Of the total revenue of
the United States is given away in
pensions. and over half Of the amount
given away goes to persons who really
have no good claim to this bounty OF
taxpayers. The annual outlay is
Sl50,000 900 England, the richest
nation in the world who has had many
wars during the past fifty years. pays
in pensions only one-twcnty seventh of
the sum We pay. She docs not pay
pensions to men or widows who are
rich. This country does. and the act
is deliberate and intentional.
Evidently there should be reform.
If it does not come soon, higher tariff
rates will be necessary. The people
will be robbed to enrich the protected
interests. and to pay pensioners. The
San concludes:
The pension list is starving impor-
tant departments Of the public service.
Important interests are sacrificed
Our coast defenses are neglected for
want of the money thrown away on un-
merited pensions. Year by year our
foreign relations are becoming extend
cd. The Monroe doctrine in its new
1orm throws down the gauntlet to all
Europe. Cuba may involve lis i'll war
with Spain. The enezuelan dispatch
of Secretary Olncy brought us within
Il measurable distance of war with Eng
land. We have iingnrs who wish Il
foreign war for purposes of their own.
Yet we are who'll unpreparcd, rs re-
spects our coast cities. tor the blows Il
sccond-rate power mi ht inflict. We
are without modern notifications We
lack guns and ammunition. Not only
is our navy inadequate to keep the
enemy from approaching within cannon
range Of cities like Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. but there are
no land defenscs to deal with hostile
ships when they get within range.
Many of our large cities are wholly at
the mercy of an enemy. The reason is
plain. Ships and forts under modern
conditions Of warfare are costly. and
there is no money for them. 1t has all
gone for pcnsions--a lruitlc>s cNpendi-
turc Those who saved the Union in
the past deserve its bounty: some pro-
vision should be made Tor those who
are to save it in the future

STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

We should like to sec the bill. which
has been introduced into the Lecisla-
turc to promote the GEOLOGICAL Survey
of the State. passed. Maryland needs
advertising in order to attract people
here But before our natural resources
can be made known to others it is nee
csSarN to find out precisely what at
fractions we have in this bountiful lit
tie commonwealth. 1t is quite remark
able that there has never been a full
statement, or any official account of the
many treasures which the State really
contains
This is the work which the .eoloYi-
cal survey is dom" and, if the Lesisla-
ture will give the desired assistance. it
will be completed thoroughly and eff
tectively. The scheme contcmplatcs
full and accurate exploration and record
of the soils. minerals. boundaries and
topography oil the State. so that. when
finished, it will be the most perfect OK
iibit of its kind in the whole country.
During the past two years the national
government has spent $4,000 mere.
and Il thousand square miles have been
surveyed.
The State is asked to cooperate with
the Washington authorities, and, we
believe, the money will be well spent
1t is claimed that we will thus get
valuable and permanent work done for
about one-iiith what it would under or
binary circumstances cost. This is
an opportunity that should not he
neglected.

The Baltimore 1imcricdD thinks that
our statesmen at Annapolis should I'M
dcrstand that there is something far
more important for them TO do than to
waste their time and the state money
Oh mere partisanship and folly. We
want more capital brought to our state.
We want more settlers upon our
farms. We want something that will
stop the decay Of our wharyes, and
make them pay interest on their cost.
We vant every member Of the legisla-
turc to understand that he had better
do something to make one good road
than to create Il thousand new offices
To add to the burdens Of the TAXPAYER.
And others think 50. too.

TO ABOLISH GRADE CROSS
INGS.

Terminals at Washington of the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Rail
roads are to be greatly changed under the
orders of the commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the committee of the
United States Senate which looks after
District matters.
The stand has been taken by the authori-
ties that grade crossings must be abol-
ished. This will involve heavy eXpcndi-
lures by both of the railroads. Plans have
been submitted by them for the proposed
pressing the roads to do the work. The
plans of the Pennsylvania Railroad have
been approved, and it is expected that this
road will soon begin making the required
changes. Plans prepared by the engineer
ing department of the Baltimore and Ohio
are now the subject of revision. Owing
to the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio is
in condition of financial embarrassment
and under the control of the United States
Court, it is likely that some extension of
time will be made before the authorities
start to force the making of the changes.
1t is estimated that it will cost the Balti-
more and Ohio from 81 SOC, 900 to $1,000
GEO to make the required improvements.
Speaking of this, Receiver John X.
Cowcn said that the situation afforded an
interesting illustration of the term public.
"On one hand we have said Mr.. Cowen,
''the public of the District declaring that
the railroad can no longer use the facili-
ties which it has enjoyed for years and
imposing the expenditure of Il great sum
Of money in order to conform to the wishes
of the public as expressed through the
District authorities On the other hand
we have the public of the State of Mary
land, partner ii the Washin gton Branch
which is called upon to make an cNpcndl-
turc which will not add to the earning ca
pacity of ti:eir property. Thus we have
one public imposing or another public Il
heavy burden without corresponding
benefits

Horribly Burned .

Last Friday morning, a week
ago, the young son of w. d.
joiner, foreman Of the lime as
phalt mines of the Gilsonite COM
pany, was horribly burned by the
explosion of a large coal oil can
From what we could learn it
seems that Mrs. Jones was pre-
pairing to wash clothes and had
told her son to start a fire under
the large kettle. The boy took q
5-gallon can, which contained
about gallon of coal oil, and was
in the act of pouring it on to start
the fire under the kettle, when the
large can exploded and the front
part of the child's body, from his
feet half way UP, was burned in &
horrible manner lin places nearly
to the bone. We learned yesterday
morning that the BOY is suffering
intense pain and is not expected t.
survive long. -Dougherty Leader
