HERES TO YOU SIR.

Distinguished Mr.. President your health
rll proudly drink.
But e'er we tip our glasses let me tell you
what l think:
Col. William Jennings Bryan is as sure to
win this race
As tears to trickle downwards on disap-
pointed face.
And here's to Mr.. Roosevelt but | cannot
sing his praise,
He has had enough of that, to last him all
his days.
Then e'er he climbed San Juan's hill he
met convenient pain. a-
Who wouldn't let him 90 that day where
bullets came like rain.
Long life to Mr.. Stevenson, long life to
Mr.. Bryan,
There's gladness in our hearts to-day
that's like the songs of Zion.
For Democratic victory is coming Ger the
hills
And brings in goodly measures cure for
all our Ills.
Success to old Democracy. she lives to bless
tins day,
And sends blessing DER the seas to peo-
pies far away.
Success to old Democracy, the peoples
only party.
And when she reigns the people rule. here's
to her sir, drink hearty.
But e'er we tip our glasses. here's blight
to laws unjust.
A blight to thoughts of conquests, and q
blight to every trust.
Here's home rule for the Philippines, .
heart ache for the Beers.
Would that imperialism could be driven
from their doors.
Then lift the briming goblet high and let
good feeling flow,
For love will conquer selfshness and ban
ish every foe.
And who would have an enemy when
friends are just as cheap?
And who would cherish enmity? Loves
much the best to keep.

The Boer and Philippine Wars Degraded
Into Brutal Massacfaa.

The recent exposure Of the methods
of our troops in the Philippines should
arouse the moral sense of the people
and put stop to it. The Springfield,
Mass, Republican says: The strug-
gle in South Africa and the Philip
pines are now passing through stage
which illustrates better than great
marches and. .sieges the real glories of
war. Both the Beers and the Filipinos
are past the point when they can meet
the rwhelming legions of their op-
ponents in pitched battles. yet they
are still desperately cOntending for
their own by such methods as the con
ditiOns permit them to use. Organized
war has degenerated into unorganized
war, and the ordinary refinements of
the battlefield have naturally given
way to acts which are often SO afro
cious as to be worthy only Of brutes.
"Exasperated by the prolonged re-
sistance of the Beers, it is said that
the British have lately been burning
and devastating the farms of the bur-
ghers if they we're caught 'sniping' at
trains. and these sweeping acts of re-
taliation, embracing the innocent and
the guilty alike, have in turn ar ohsed
the Beers to fresh hostility. The al
legged Boer plot to effect a rising in
Pretoria itself. shoot all the British
officers and make prisoner of Lord
Roberts, is said to have caused great
indignation in the British Army. which
is now impressed with the view that
the Beers have been treated with too
great leniency. Whether or.not there
was such plot, 'sterner measures are
to be expected from the conquerOrs,
and the result cannot fail to be deep
er and more irreconcilable hatred of
the British by the Beers. And that
will he one more triumph for MIR.
Chamberlain.
"In the Philippines it is known that
the warfare has now become little more
than a series of massacres. Gen. Otis
returned home with the assurance
that the islands we're pacified. A Bit
ter, remorseless, brutal war, however,
lis still being waged by both sides
throughout the islands,"

the PENSION ROLL.
System Described ~ Most Gigantic
Scheme for Robhiua the Government. Z

ut is Incredible" excIaims the New
York Times, THAT out of an army tina
never exceeded 100000 men at an.
time, that was dissolved thirty. fiv,
years ago. and that now furnishes 993,
529 pensioners, there can be nearly l.,
500 900 proper subjects for pensions. 7"
| And yet that is the case. il all of those
900. 500 pensioners and all of the 437 49,
claimants now applying for pensions,
are proper subjects.
Nobody believes that. On the con.
traly, there is no intelligent and in.
formed man who does not know that
the pennsion system as it has been
conducted since the civil war has been
the most gigantic machine for robbing
the government that ever existed un
der q so called free republic. And the
worst of it is that the robbery has not
been perpetrated alone In the interest
of the camp-followers and sham pa
triots and their unscrupulous agents,
but it had been perpetrated in the in
terest Of the politicians who have been
instructed by the people with the duty
of making and administering the laws.
By them the national Treasury has
been converted into an immense cor
ruption fund by which they have
sought to buy votes, in the names Of
patriotic gratitude and duty. out of
money collected from the taxpayers to
defray the legitimate expenses of the
government.
Under this system Congress after
Congress has abolished safeguard after

been made SO lax that it is the poorest

it should be turned down, he goes be-
fore Congress with special pension

out the law as he finds it, in
stead OF overriding it entirely for the |
benefit Of the raiders. clamOrOus de-
mand is made for his removal and the
Grand Army Of the Republic is order
ed to paw the earth and raise sand.
This is why there are now on the
pension rolls, thirty-five years after j
the close Of the war, very nearly as
many men as the whole Federal army
at any time during the war:
why the pension payments have swell
ed to an average of S14O. .489, 200 for the
last three years, and why since the
close of the war they have aggregated
81 ,612, 329 500, sum about equal to
our whole national debt after the war
had bsen fought.
What it will amount to before the
pensioners die and bel ore the pension
agents and the politicians cease adding
to it, If that time shall ever come, it
would stagger both mathematics and
