A PHYsIC1AN writing in the Medical Record remarks that the public now so much interested in canned beef for the army seem to forget the extent to which food adulteration affects civil. ians. The use of boratic and salicylic acids to prevent decomposition is harm ful to digestion, and ought to be pro hibited. In any case, canned beef is a small item compared with the general subject of adulteration. The inspec- tion of food supplies of all kinds is far more effective in England than Amer ica. No doubt the rations furnished the army, which must reach certain standard, and are subjected to tests, were more healthful than an equal
 bulk of food sold the public.

Philadelphia Record: Army officers OF

widely known capitalists and captains OF

welcome opportunity for recognition OF true

triotic duty.
Buffalo Express: The public is responding
nobly to the appeal for funds for the family
Of the late General Lawton. The death OF
Lawton is bringing hcme to a larger num-
Der of people than have before appreciated II
the fact that we are consecrating the soil
Of the Philippines with the blood Of our best
and bravest. Having so c7nsccrated II, can
the American people consent to see our
conquest OF the Philippines used for any un-
worthy purpose or private gain or mere ma
ticnal ACKNOWLEDGMENT? Only the planting
there Of genuine liberty and civilization,
such as exist among Americans themselves,
can Justify the sacrifice of a Lawton.

NATURALiZATiUN ABUSES.

That there are abuses of the natural
ization laws will not be questioned.
Hundreds of thousands of aliens have
been admitted to American citizenship
who were not entitled to it and every
year men are given naturalization
| papers who have not complied with the
law. This is common in the larger cities
of the country, especially just before an
election, and it would perhaps not he
an e~Xaggeration to say that half the
f~oreign-born citizens of New York and
Philadelphia got their papers before
they had a right to them.
The abuses conceded, the desirability
is quite as essential to faithfully OBJ
serve the naturalization laws as any
other statutes. An effort is to be made
in the present congress to amend the
naturalization laws so as to protect
them against abuse. A bill for this pur-
pose was introduced in the enate by
Senator Perkins of California, which
provides that an alien shall make a
declaration of his intention to become 4
citizen at least five years prior to his
application for admission and must show
that he is attached to the principles of
the constitution, that he can speak the
English language and that he has been
obedient to the laws of the country. He
must also show that he has knowledge
of our system of government, federal
and state. Perhaps some will think such
requirements as these too rigid, but
American citizenship is a great boon
and ought not to be bestowed on those
who do not understand its import and
value.

Chicago Chronicle; 1t is possible that
sCmc enthusiasts have developed on paper
or in little gatherings a plan for a raid
upon Canada, the purpose being the EN-
barrassment Of England now that II is
in serious and unauticipated trouble in South
Africa. Notwithstanding that the admins
tr0tion is pro-British and that many Ameri-
cans have colorod their opinions to suit
that Of Mckinley, it Is nevertheless true that
there are few sympathi2ers in America with
the war for ACKNOWLEDGMENT carried on by
the British against the Beers, but their dis
approval OF British aggression would by no
means mean approval OF aggression from the
United States upon Canada because It is
British territory. That which we condemn

selves.

PENSION EXPENDITURES.

The government disbursed for army
and navy pensions during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1899, over $13S,OOO, 900.
The secretary of the interior says in
his annual report that the probabilities
are that the pension roll will, by rea-
son of the late war with Spain, not
only increase in amount, but in mum
bers during the fiscal year 1900. Up
to the close of the last fiscal year there
had been filed 1860 army and navy
claims on account of service in the war
with Spain. of which only 1903 had been
allowed.
Notwithstanding this assurance of an
increased pension expenditure a DISPOSE
ton is being shown in congress to swell
this account enormously through new
legislation. \ number of bills have
been introduced for extending the pen
sion laws which if enacted would re-
quire nearly the entire revenue of the
government to meet the demands of the
pension office. Some of these bills. in
trOduced 'by request will probably re-
ceive no consideration, but others have
strong influences behind them and will
be persistently pressed by the congress
men who introduced them.
one measure proposes to remove all
limitation upon the payment of arrears
of pensions, which the pension office es-
Inmates would be good for S50O,OO0,OOO.
Another bill provides for II service pen
sion, which il is estimated would add
nearly $1OO,OOO,0O0 annually TO the eX-
penditures. still another provides
that every soldier who enlisted in the
army after April 10, 1861, for three
years and who served until honorably
discharged, by reason of having re-en-
listed as Il veteran volunteer, and who
received from the United States Il
bounty of 500 for his first term Of sery-
ice, shall he paid an additional bounty
of 500. If the soldier is dead. then his
widow, minor children or parents are
to be paid the second bounty provided
Tor. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 who are eligible under this bill.
which would call for an appropriation
of S0,SOO,OCO. But the most eXtIaOl-
binary of all these bills is the one that
provides for extending amnesty to men
who deserted during the war of the re-
hellion and making them eligible for
pension from the date of application
following the proclamation of amnesty.

IN cUBA.

The facts reported in regard to prison
abuses in cuba and the delay in bring
ing prisoners TO trial show the necessity
for the prompt action taken by Gov
crnor General Wood TO correct this state
Of affairs. If the conditions are as rep
resented 1t must be admitted that the
preceding administration did not give
proper attention to them, though hardly
any duty it had to perform was more
important han that of requiring that
persons imprisoned on criminal charges
should he tried as speedily as possible.
This is an American principle that the
representatives of the United states in
cuba should not have neglected and it
would be difficult to find an adequate
excuse for doing so. Permitting the
Spanish system to prevail in this re-
spcct was a mistake which dettacts
somewhat from the generally capable
and crcdltablc administration of Gen
cral Brooke.
In taking hold of this matter promptly
and firmly General Wood will undoubt-
cdlv be able to effect the needed reform
without much trouble, though it is pos
siblc that for II time he will encounter
some opposition from those who are
strongly prciudicod in favor of the long
established custom. Under the Spanish
regime n person who got into prison
might be kept inCarcerated for years
before being given n trial, particularly
If without friends to look after his case.
Consequently the prisons were always
crowded and necessarily in Il wrCtchcl
sanitary condition. This General Wood
intends to put an end to and und0ubt-
cdly the better class of the people will
approve his action. Those persons who
have been kept in prison Il sufficient
time to punish them for their misdecds
will be released, while such as are
charged with crimes that should sub
ject them to more prolonged punishment
will as soOn aS practicable be brought
to trial. In this way the Cubans will he

principle which is here regarded as Il
most essential feature of our govern

A blow At p.TRI0TIsM.
Bill to Erase the Charge of DISCRETION
Against Soldiers.
philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The Cullom pension bill introduced in
congress is not only a peculiarly impudCut
and indefensible scheme of public plumber,
but an insult to the intelligence of the coun-
try and to the brave and honorable old
soldiers on the pension roll, whose heroic
services to the country are placed on an
equality with desertion. The Cullom bill
directs the secretary of war to grant an hon
orable discharge to "all soldiers who were
at any time in the actual service of The
United States and who have for moro tN"n
thirty years been held to be ineligible for
such honorable discharge by reason O. any
charge of desertion which may stand against
them
This is a proposal to degrade the meri-
torious old soldier, to pension the vast army
Of bounty-jumper and deserters and to re-
ward the faithless, the cowardly and the
treacherous, who ought to be shot. There
is a record Of 117,647 deserters from the
union army during the civil war and If the
estimated number of them now living were
placed on the pension rolls $40, 000, 900 a
year would be required to pay them. In
addition to the recorded cases of desertion
there is an army of undetected bounty
jumpers who are included among the miss
ing. The Lentz bill seems to supplement
the Cullen bill completely in opening the
doors wide. If the Lentz general service
pension bill should become a law it would
take about 800, 900, 900 a year from the treas
ury.
The two bills call for an additional eX-
penditure of about 500. 900, 900 a year, and
it is inconceivable that congress will con-
slider a step which would BANKRUPT the treas
ury or call for onerous and unnecessary
new taxation for such unworthy purposes.
The Cullom bill is infamous, and Senator
Cullom, in defense Of his action as introducer
of the bill, has announced, it is reported, that
he introduced it by request and will oppose
it. A bill to pension deserters is simply
placing a premium upon desertion, and the
records of the present war show that this
would be a dangerous policy. IN response
to a resolution OF the senate calling for the
number OF assertions from the regular and
volunteer armies the secretary OF war makes
a statement showing that from May |, 1898,
to June 80, 1899, the very large number OF
5,772 men deserted, 2,736 being volunteers
and 3,O36 regulars. A considerable army
has deserted when desertion is a disgrace;
what would be the result II a premium were
placed on desertion?
The proposition to place the malingerers,
bounty-jumpers and deserters on a parity
with courageous defenders OF the nation
should arouse tho just resentment of the
brave men who fought and suffered in IA
glorious cause. The Lentz service bill also
places on an equality with those who re-
ceived wounds and contracted disease in
battle and camp a great army who do not
need aid, and should not look to the treas
ury for support. Both bills are the express
sion Of an unbridled and rapacious policy OF
loot and deserve the active, persistent oppo-
sition OF all honorable old soldiers and all
patriotic citizens.
