most people are satisfied. We think
if oae half Of the stories of both sides

mony. No court would feel an instant's
indecision. Yet all these men actually
do agree They all support the policy
of the administration. Speaking OF that
which they know, they declare duty
there to be the course which we are
actually pursuing. And opposed to them
is not one Individual, eminent or OBJ
scure Democrat or Republican who has
an iota of personal information or per-
sonai acquaintance. Seriously, a dis
agreement under these circumstances
seems impossible and would be impos-
sible but for the cant and rancor OF
partisan politics. The American people
are not to be deceived. They are the
jury in this case, and they can render
only one verdict where all the evidence
is on one side.

There have been many extravagant
predictions made as to what China can
offer to this country in the matter of
trade, but what shall be said of Guy M.
Walkers statement in Lesiie's Weekly
to the effect that IL we should begin
now to construct for China the railroads
which she needs and which her trade
and population would support, IT means
a market for the entire product of our
iron and steel mills, our car shops and
our locomotive works for 200 years to
come? He adds, moreover. that as the
forests of China have disappeared, the
building of her railroads means mar
ket for all the ties, pilings and bridge
timbers that the Gulf or Pacific coast
states can produce, and that to carry
these immense supplies fleets will be re-
quired where single vessels now ply.

We're asked what is the most marked
and significant feature of industry and
trade in the last four years, he would
reply unhesitatingly the rise of prices.
This has been coincident with the re-

There Is one notable exception to this
rule. It IS an exception that the deputy
anarchists take no note of. 1t is never
mentioned at Bryan celebration. The
people who tell us that 1.-The rich are

avoid 1t as they would a pestilenee.

but the interest rate. which Is the price

4. This state. county and city furnish
an excellent Illustration of this and are
feeling the benefits OF it. For the fourth
time in ten years there has been a re-
duetion in the rate OF interest ON county
warrants. Now the official rate has de-
Cliued TO per cent. In 1896 1t was
found possible to cut the interest on
these warrants from s to i-2 per cent.

are exasperating to pension office and
applicant alike.
Mr. Evans recommends a commission
which shall undertake a general revi-
sion of the pension laws, and 1t is prob
able his recommendation will be fol-
lowed He has been beset with many
difficulties since he took his present Of
fee, and in some quarters has been
sharply criticised, but the general i'm
preston seems to be that he has shown
an honest desire to execute the laws
faithfully and fairly as he understood
them, with exact justice to the pension
err as well as to the government. With
a mass of laws and conflicting decisions
and regulations growing out Of them 1t
is natural that there should have been
Instances of tardy recognition IL not
absolute mistakes in dispensing the ma
tional bounty. Mr.. Evans admits that
there may have been such errors. and
fo- that reason urges an overhauling of
the laws SO that the adjustment of PEN
sion matters may be easier and more
satisfactory TO everybody concerned.
1t is necessary. too. that the pension
laws be understood and easy OF appli-
cation as the government enters upon
the work Of determining the merit OF
claims growing out of the Spanish war.
At present these are comparatively few
in number, but ii is impossible to say
how numerous they will become later
on, and while an opportunity is offered
1t would be well to secure exact pen
sion legislation that is adequate for
present and future contingencies.

wanted to If they took them Off the street
corners and hid them behind closed doors.
