ed. it would seem. till 1909. and a great
deal may happen in ten years of the rest
less competition of American life. Then,
| ten years Of continuous service is liable
| to numberless Interruptions. 1t would
| be easy to discharge an cmploye after
five or six years of service, on any one of o
dozen different pretexts; and then the pen
| sion would be lost. Again. but few of
the employees row in the shop will be
| permanently disabled" in ten years
time; and il not disabled they get no
| pension, of course, until the age limit is
| reached. Comparatively few men of lf-
ty-fve are TO be found among the clerks
Of any department store, especially in a
large city. On the whole. the chance
of the pension fund being depleted by any
very large number of annuitics seems ex-
tremely slender.
Yet, although the proposition to PEN
sion veteran clerks is so hedged about
with restrictions as TO make it much less
liberia! than it seems at first sight. most
| Of the restrictions are necessary. Plainly
it would not do TO offer pensions indis-
criminately without such restrictions.
That would be bad for both employers
and employed. by attracting an undesr-
able class of clerks. II there is to be
pension system at all. it seems as if
this pension system were wise and right.
To some people it will seem an important
step in the right direction, showing an
increasing thoughtfulness on the part of
the employer for the employed. To 9TH
ers 1t may saver of paternalism. And
both these views will be correct.
The eXiSencies OF our modern city life
have made the department store, il not
necessity. at least a most important fact.
Men who in other years and places would
have had small shops of their own are
now serving behind the counter in these
huge establishments. In some cases they
| are paid more than they could make for
! themselves: in others they make less than
they would in their own small shops; in
either case they exchange the chances of
free competition for the chance of being
thrown out of employment by somebody
| else's failure. 1t seems no more than fair
that the establishment which requires
them TO take the chance of sinking with
its failure should as far as possible let
them share in the benefit OF its success.
The man who owns his business has a
home, such as it is; he has his place in the
world. The owner of a small grocery in
country town, for example is always
sure of his small living, and at fifty he is
more sure of it than ever before. The
clerk at fifty, if thrown out of a place
by chance or disease. has no place and
no living.

We fear it is undenabIe that ex-senator
Edmunds ranks as The ablest statesman
of the Republican party" We may as
sumo, therefore. that his letter against
the retention Of the Philippines is the best
that can be written and includes the
strongest arguments at the command of
the anti-imperialist league. In it there is
nothing to worry the President. unless
he is concerned over the falling powers
of the Republican with the highest candle
power of craftsmanship. If The affirma-
tions of Mr. Edmunds were true which
they are demonstrably not, the conse-
quences of expansion as he points them
out are quite tolerable. His letter Will
not add a single convert TO the provincial
list cause that is popular only in New
England. 1t is not surprising that YER
mont Republicans do not follow him.
The times., 1899-01-11

The existence of the French Republio
has been due not TO the republican senti-
ment among the people, for there is little
of that, but to the failure of any man with
the clements of popularity to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to overthrow the
existing institutions. 1t is affirmed that
Beaurepaire, who has just resigned as
president OF the civil section of the court
that is rehearing the Dreyfus case, is the
man, and there is some reason 10 think
he believes it, His resignation vas a bid
for the leadership of the anti-Drcyfus
majority. But he is not Il soldier and it
is improbable that he could control the
army.

1t is merely pretended ignorance that
leads Godkins paper TO ask. concerning
the projected order to exempt a large
number of Offices from the operation of
the civil service rules, what force is there
to prevent the President from having his
own way and to compel him, with great
reluctance. to do what he does not want
to do" No observer of public affairs can
fail to note that there are many and con-
elusive reasons why the President NAV
have 10 throw open places for the spols-
men even when it is against his wishes.
For example, he has assumed the heavy
burden OF carrying Secretary Alger. A
Congressional investigation into the war
scandals would force the retirement Of
that incompetent Cabinet officer and also
since his retention by the President after
the exposures, 1t would bring the Admin
istration very near disaster Therefore
the demands of members of Congress-
must be met, regardless of the personal
sentiments of the President. There mus,
be no Congressional Investigation. even If
1t should be necessary to abolish all the
rules that are subject to his control

Discomfort Among Consumers.
The restrictions imposed by Germany
upon the importation OF meat are pro-
ducing the results that might have been
expected There is a cry from all parts OF
the country about the high price and the

illustrated by the report of Consul Albert
