Of our people during December, which Is

Now II there were even deaths caused by
zymotic diseases out of the 22 deaths, 1t
shows that tho sanitary condition OF the
city is not good, as tho ~ 3nses would nos

In Philadelphia during last week there
were 422 deaths reported from all causes.

IN the enormous swelling of the
pension account. The Chicago
Tribune, a sane republican news
paper, says "that the hour is
coming when the people will
demand an abatement of the
pension abuses, and congress
will have to attend to the mat
ter" The Tribune is advised
by a prominent pension attorn-
ey that One-fourth of the pres
ent pensioners might be drop
ped if the line were drawn at
persons who really need pen
sions. And it sums up the sit
uation in this vigorous style:
''There are thousands of pen
sioners who own property
enough to make them independ-
ent, and many who are actually
wealthy. There are instances
in this city. If one-fourth of
the names on the pension rolls
we're stricken off there would
be a saving in round numbers of
nearly $4O,O00,000. If the
names of men-or their families
who receive pensions, but do
not need them, and of those
who. whether they do or do not
need pensions, are not entitled
to them, were stricken off the
rolls, there would be a saving
of $75, 900, 900, or the increased
cost of the military establish
ment. Why should not that
saving be made?"

Quarter Billion a Year.

The enlargement of the stand
ing army to 100000 men will
swell the annual military and
pension expense to $233, 900, 900.
The estimate for the new mill
tary establishment is $83,000, :
900 a year. Before the attack of
expansion fever the army cost
us annually $24,000,000. The
pension list for the current
year will undoubtedly reach
$3.50, 100000, and may go much
higher says the Los Angeles
Herald. If we are obliged to
maintain a large army in the
Philippine islands the increase
in the pension list, by reason of
deaths from disease, will un-
doubtedly be enormous.
An idea of the magnitude of
the burden upon the people may
be gained by comparing the
new army and pension account
with the entire expenses of the
government before our era of
militarism. Within five years
after the end or the civil war
the annual expenditures settled
down below $300,000,000. Dur
the twenty years proceeding
1890 they averaged about $275,
100000. The rapid increase in
the pension list rapidly swelled
the figure after that period.
Twenty years ago the pension
account footed up 1913, ZOO, 900;
ten years ago it had footed up
to S1O6,000, 900, and last year
its imitation reached $4,000, :
900. And this amazing present
tlgure nearly thlrty-fOur years
after the close of the civil war.
With this experience and the
prospect of indefinite enlarg-
ment, the people are confronted
with startling financial prop
Osition- With the usual allow
ance of five persons to a family,
and on the basis of 75,000,000
popula ton in the United States,
it will cost an average of nearly
seventeen dollars for every fam
lily in the country to pay to pay
the annual cost of army and
pension.
The alarming outlook is Caus-
ing sensible republicans to
pause and reflect. Some are

war of subjigation against the
people of the Philippines. The
ratification of the treaty means
no peace but immediate war.
We must send more troops and
more ships to Manila, and must
undertake the immense job of
conquering the people who are
trying no establish a govern
ment of their own"
Senator Allen in discussing
the treaty which has been rati-
fed paid the following glowing
tribute to W. J. Bryan: 81 am
not the keeper of the conscience
of Mr.. Bryan. I do not pretend
to represent him here or else
where and any utterances to the
contrary are utterly unfounded.
[ am the personal friend of Mr..
Bryan, and I am also his po1iti-
cal friend. [ may say of him
that I regard him as the super
ior in knowledge and capacity
of any living American states
man. History will rank him
with Webster and Clay as one
of the greatest statesmen our
country has produced. I regard
him as a brilliant comet in the
political sky, as were Webster
and Clay in their time. I know
him to be not only able and
patriotic, but absolutely sincere
in all his words and actions.
He is not demigague as some
of the groudlings and tumble
bugs of politics would have the
people believe.

An Era of Jobs.

AS punishment for his sins
Commissary General Eagan
will be given a vacation of six
years, during which his pay of
$1,000 a year will go on. At
the same time war inquiry board
will report a whitewash for
Alger and his war department.
The fifty or more officers, head
ed by General Miles and Gov
ernor Roosevelt, who declared
that meat furnished the troops
was vie and unsafe, will prob
ably be rubuked because they
assailed the product of Chica-
go's sacred beef trust.
Alger will now be left free to
prosecute his thriving syndi-
cate jobbing business in Cuba
and Porto Rico.
Back of the war department.
back of the whitewashing board,
back of the unlimited power
of Cuban franchise granting
conferred on Alger, stands
President Mckinley.
Before the end of the admin
lstration it will be covered with
the disgrace of having permit
ted more steals and more Job
berry than any that went before
it. The men who nominated
Mckinley at ST. Louis knew
what they were about.
The president in whose pow
er it is to prevent the steals
and the jobbing, cannot stand
in the background and expect
the responsibility and odium to
fall only on his appointees. He
must bear his share of it, and
his share is alarge one. Rocky

COMMENTS ON EXPANSION.

Senator German in speaking
on the Philippine question said;
cit will not be four years before
our people will resent this ac-
ton. It is known now that the
people will resent it, and the
authorities are providing
against that resentment by in
creasing the standing army to
1905 900 men, not alone for ser
vice in our far away possess
sions, but for service right here
at home, to police our own
country"
Senator Mason, speaking of
the recent fight at Manila, said:
"The United States has been
the aggressor in the Manila
conflict by trampling on the
rights of the Filipinos. They
had sought every means of Sc
curing a peaceful settlement
and we had driYen them out.
When Aguinaldo had asked the
poor privilege of a conference,
our commander refused without
knowing what he had to offer.
His request had been ignored
and we had gone on burning his
villages and shooting his peo-
pie like dogs, a la Weyler. -
Senator Hall criticised the
treaty in the following. Ian
guage: Il am not surprised at
the occurrance. IF the treaty
had been made as it ought to
have been, putting the Philip
pines on the same basis as Cuba,
no trouble would have arisen,
or if the managers of the treaty
had consented to an amendment
on this line, there would have
been no trouble of this kind.
Or, still further, if they had
agreed to the passage of a joint
resolution declaring that con-
gress did not expect permanent
occupation, trouble would have
been averted. But the truth is
that underneath the expansion
newspapers and back of the
movements of the leaders of the
expansion causes is the deter
minatiOn to be content with
nothing but permanent annex
alton. This means a protracted

A Fatal Quarrel.

Another fatal shooting affray
occurred in Globe yesterday
morning shortly after s O'Clock
and as a result P. G. Klie lies
dead in the morgue and Chas.
A. Graf is in the custody of the
sheriff charged with murder.
The men were partners in the
saloon business and conducted
the Colorado saloon nearly OPP
posite the Pioneer Butcher
shop.
AS to the facts leading up to
the killing nothing authentic
can be learned. All that is
known is that both men we're in
saloon and were quarreling and
Graf shot Klie twice, one bullet
entering the head back of the
left breast and the other enter
ing the left breast below the
nipple. Graf at once surrend-
cred himself and was locked up.
Justice Whalley impanelled a
coroner's jury who found a YER
dict in accordance with the
above facts.
The prisoner will be arranged
tomorrow morning and time sci
for preliminary hearing, but
owing to the absence of District
Attorney Fleming at Phoenix
the preliminary may be de-
layed.
Justice Whalley has appoint
ed Arthur Moore to look after
the affairs of the deceased while
Mr.. House will look after the
interests of the prisoner and the
business will be conducted by
these two gentlemen for the
present.-Globe Times.

Agoncillo, Aquinaldo's repre-

were the aggressors at the bat
