PENSION REFORM

Some OF the strongest advocates OF pen
sion reform are to be found among the
veterans OF the civilwar who fought Oh
the side Of the Union.
These men object to any pension legls'
latlon or administration thereof which
does not draw the line clearly between
veterans who are ally deserving and
those who seek pensions without any jus,
claim TO them.
The purging Of the pension rolls has
been asked for by many Grand Army
posts. Loose and extravagant bills have
been opposed most stubbornly by Union
veterans than by almost any other class
OF citizens.
The prospects OF vast increase Of pen
sion expenditures moves veteran to
write letter to the Springfield Republi-
can In which he urges his comrades to dc
what they can to secure the passage OF
an act limiting pensions to those whose
income does not exceed 1900 a year. He
argues that such a reform would cut of
all who are able to support themselves
and limit the payment Of pensions to
those who really need them. .-
The expenditures for pensions this year
will be fully s15o,OOOOOO. No other nation
pays one half that sum annually for pen
sions, nor ever did. 1t exceeds the cost
Of any OF the standing armies of Europe,
for our pension list carries nearly mill
ion names. We have pension army
more than twice as large as the greatest
active army any European power can
show.
On top OF the $3.50, 100000 a year already
paid for pensions wifi be piled millions
more for pensions to veterans Of the brief
war with Spain and relatives Of our SOL
diers who lost their lives in that conflict.
Applications for pensions from these
classes have already come In to the ex-
tent OF several thousand and the war In
the Philippines is rapidly increasing the
number. 1t Is estimated that the pension
bill in less than five years will call for
s23O,OOO,OOO. How much can we stand?-

A BILLION AND A HALF.

According to the New York Financial
Chronicle the trusts that have been or

year represents total capitalization OF
81, $4,000 as against s916,OOO,0O0 for

Governor Johnston Of Alabama asks for
advice on the question OF calling an extra
session Of the Legislature to decide wheth
er the decision OF the Democratic State
convention is binding on the party. Why
not ask the British Premier to approve
Eagan's sentence, or the Postmaster Gen
eral to recommend the officers for naval
stations? Perhaps Governor might be
excused for thinking that the Democratic
convention controlled the course of legs-
lation in Southern State, but to believe
that the Legislature could prescribe rules

vention is mistake Of which Governor

exchange. The postmaster sends them to
the editor. The postmaster is not to blame
For instance, there was man by name of

three notices to stop his paper; he didn't
want it any longer. We wondered what
was the matter. Upon examining the
subscription book we found Tim short $40
He never had paid cent; yet he stopped
his paper as q matter Of economy-to us.
He didn't want us to lose any more by
him. A few days afterward Sprlggins
was at church and his melOdious tenor
rang out clear and loud in the old stirring
song, Jesus Paid it ALL" He might have
been mistaken, but his earnestness i'm

CABINET CANT AND HARD FACT

CABINET CANT AND HARD FACTS.
In his speech at the Roosevelt banquet
in chicago, Postmaster-G General Smith
said Of the Philippines:
I'VE are there with healing aud bless
ings. We are there with the Bible and
civilization"
In the same newspaper that printed this
sublimated cant were these hard facts In
the censored dispatches from Manila:
"In the fighting at Santa Crux today
the Fourteenth regiment OF United States
infantry caught the fleeing native garri-
son OF the city In a cul de sac, from which
there was do escape. Hoping that the
rebels would surrender, the American
troops held their fire. But the hope was
vain. The rebels doggedly refused 70
throw down their arms, aud died rifles in
hand"

er heard Of Patrick .Henry's cry, "Give
me liberty or give me, death!"-but they
acted on it.-Ne~fsfk World.

Denfh md Birth Tine.

There are a great number Of curious
guPeTstitions as TO the time Of day when
q dying person is most likely to draw
bis last breath, and the tide, moon and
the wind have all been supposed to have
some share in the matter. According to
The British Medical Journal. Raseri,
who has analysed 25, 474 cases of death
and SO, 515 of birth, where the exact
time of day was noted, finds that the
maximum number Of deaths occur in
the early afternoon (2:07 p. H. J, ana
the minimum in the last hours before
midnight, while the maximum nun Der
of births occur in the early hours Of the
morning, and the minimum in the
early hours Of the afternoon.
AS regards the cause of this he points
out the hours of the maximum number
of deaths are precisely those when the
pulse rate and the temperature are az
their highest in health, aid when there
is febrile exacerbation in illness.
