Finley intends to personally consider each
application, after having classified 1t, which
VIII prove no small task as there will be
several thousand seeking after pensions;
hence the impossibility of completing the

tiers are being received from reputable
citizens warning the comptroller against
applicants with whom they are acquainted
and charging that said applicants are not
entitled to pensions under the law.

| In another column this morning The Post
reprints from a labor paper an article, based
on report to President Mckinley and made
public by the Washington Times depicting the
condition OF aiiars in the mining districts OF
Idaho 1t is n horrible recital Indeed, 1t is
hard TO believe THAI such things arc possible
in the United States but the facts are youched
for and the report made to the president by
a United states senator, which would seem
TO preclude all idea that the stories OF tho
misery and suffering and indignitlos heaped
upon unofiending citizens OF this country by
military satrap are baseless exaggoratIuns
Common justice and humanity, to say nothing
of the pride OF American citizenship ali over
this grand country. would seem to demand
that the authors OF these alleged outrages be
brought TO time. President Mckinley is In
possession Of the facts, or at least enough of
them to warrant his prompt action. II one
half of what is charged by Senator Heitfeld
and othes citizens be true, there ought to be
rigid reckoning in store for somebody.

party desires any compromise. The repub-

featured the compromise talk can now devote
their time to denying II.

ACCORDING TO the Boston Writer,
the Chicago News recently contained
the following item:
There was trouble of some kind re-
ported on Desplaines street the other
night. and the editor told the new
reporter TO go over and get the details.
He got them, as may be seen from his
account of the affair, which was as
follows: A man killed a dog belonging
to another man. The son of the man
whose dog was killed proceeded to
whip the mac who killed the dog of
the man he was the son Of. The man
who was the son Of the man whose dog
was killed was arrested on complaint
of the man who was assaulted by The
son of the man whose dog the man who
was assaulted had killed.
The item was evidently written TO
favor the man who is afraid he will
