The Philadelphia Ledger raises a pro-
test against the storm of pension ex-
travagance that threatens to overwhelm
Congress. THE cost Of war is not
ended by the cessation of hostiiities, "
it says. "We are now paying interest
on bonds to the value of many millions.
As each soldier returns from the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico and
retires from the service he will be ar-
preached by attorneys to file claims for
pensions for real or imaginary injuries
and disabilities These claims and the
payments made under them must con
tinue within the life time Of every
citizen now living. Assuredly Congress
cannot afford TO be prohigate under
these circumstances, although its policy
should DO liberal and reasonable.

Col. Ward of the adjutant. generals
Office, at Washington, gives some inter
esting information with respect to re-
ports of insanity among our soldiers in
the Philippines. Speaking from per-
sonal observation, he says that very
stringent orders have had to be issued
10 the Philippines against the sale of
vino" largely drunk by the natives
as stimulant, and whioh has done
serious damage to our troops. 1t is a
concootion of anise and fusel oil, and
most insidious in it's effects. The
natives take single teaspoouful, and
that suffices them; but the American
soldiers, used to our native whisky,
drink the vino with fatal freedom,
when they can get it--and all the pro-
hibitory regulations have not cut off
the Illicit traffic in it. The first drink
gives a man pleasant, comfortable
feeling, to continue and increase which
he takes second and third drink. FER
haps fourth. The last paralyzes his
brain, as rule. Habitual potations
result in dementia, and the man is
sent home as insane At the asylum
he gets rest, normal food and drink,
and the ordinary comforts Of life, and,
| in the course of three months, he is
discharged as cured Not few Of the
cases which figure on the insane list
are of this temporary character.
When asked how the San Francisco
newsgatherers could have got their
stories of the spread of insanity If this
we're all the foundation they had, Col.
Ward said that he fancied that they
must have confused the home coming
patients generally with the insane
patients. Gen. Otis has orders thai
men with certain forms of disease
which are hard to combat under the
climatic conditions of the tropics, anc
who are not badly en- ough off to be dis
charged, shall be sent over to th'
Presidio Hospital near San Francisco
These include, for instance, sufferers
from dysentery, malarial diarrhea, &c
Seeing these men come in by. the SAM
transports with the demented soldiers
and followed by stories of more coming
person who did not take much rain
to verify reports might be misled int
supposing that they were all insan
patients.
At the surgeon generals office it j
stated that there are no evidence in tn
reports which reach there of any in
crease over the normal proportion @
insanity In so large an army serving i
the field. The hard life. the Immature
, surroundings, the prolonged absenc
from family and friends, &C., are Away
: apt to develop any latent tendency t
3 arrangement of mind. There are som
t homesick men, also, who sham insanit
, for the sake of being sent home. Frol
. the best evidence at the command {
the medical department, it is said thf
, climatic conditions, per Sc, seem
play a small part in producing sue
{ effects.

The real motive of the Republican
majority of the House of Representa-
tives in favoring the Porto Rico Tariff
bill, nonsensical as that measure apr ears
to be, as well as unconstitutional, is
thus boldly asserted by that rabid organ
of protection, the New York Press !:
"The Porto Rico tariff is protective
measure, passed in the House, and
favorably reported in the Senate upon
the demand of protected industries. 1t
is going to stand as long as the Re-
publican party is in power, whether
two years or twenty. 1t is silly as we'll
as cowardly for those who call them
selves Republicans to lie about the
matter" This is the truth of the
situation, and the issue thus set forth
is the one upon which this question
will eventually be determined by the
votes Of the people.

Prof. John b. Moore of Columbia
College, N. y, former citizen Of
whose ability and prominence all Della
wareans are proud, contributed to the
New York Times of Sunday last an
article on the Isthnian canal and the
Hay Pauncefote treaty which, 10 the
view of the New York Evening Post,
ought to have pretty wide circulation
throughout the country and especially
among Senators and Representatives in
Congress. He reviews the whole SUBJ
ject from the standpoint of inter
national law, and reaches the general
conclusion that tho pending treaty
ought to be ratified. He holds that
the policy of neutralized canal such
as the treaty provides for is the historic
policy of the United States, and that
the opposing theory, rampant in the
Hepburn report, is new conception in
conflict with that historic policy that
if the Clayton. Bulwer treaty we're
abrogated, tho situation would not be
materially altered, since the neutiali-
cation of the canal is guaranteed by
various other treaties; and that the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty, while adhering
to the policy of naturalization, gives
important advantages to the United
States in the way of local control and
protection against lawlessness and dis
order, which we should not have under
pre- existing arrangements.
The treaties which Nicaragua has
made with foreign Powers guaranteeing
equality of rights and privileges in tbs
use Of any canal across her territory
are enumerated with their respective
dates, all of which would be il
full force oven if the Clayton Bulwe
treaty were abrognted, Such treaties
exist with Spain, France. Grea
Britain, and Italy, and the question
naturally arises, what would thes
Powers say or do il the principles o
the Hepburn report were sought to b
carried into effect by us either with o
without the consent OF Nicaragua.

Again it is the Troublesome tariff. )"
Many believe that General Hancock s
trite remark that the tariff was largely
local issue'' materially contributed
to. his defeat for the Presidency, and
there are indications that Mckinley s
wotbling over the Porto Rico Tariff
bill may seriously endapger his re-
election. 1t is more evident thar ever
that the tariff question will never be
settled until it is settled right.

Representative Watson of Indiana is
one of the Republican members of the
House who first opposed and then
voted for the Porto Rico Tariff bill. To
the Washington correspondent of the
indianapolis News he thus explained
his changes:
1.-THE President sent for me. and
asked me to vote for the bill. l ex-
planned my position, and showed him
the bundle of kilograms from my dis
trict. He repeated that it was very
urgent that ] vote for it. l said l
would be unable to explain my change,
unless it was known that this request
| had been made He replied that !
could quote him anywhere and as
strongly as | might desire to the effect
that he had changed his mind, and
considered it necessary TO the interest
of party harmony and discipline tina,
this measure be passed. He said a
statement would be sent over the wires
of the Associated Press to the effect
that he had changed his mind. The
fact that he would sign the bill would
also prove that. So, there you are. A
man can't stand up against the Presi
dent and his entire party. So l gave
in
When it is considered that the bill
passed the House by very marrow
margin, there can be no doubt that it
success was due to the pressure exertet
by President Mckinley in instances lik
the one above quoted.
And yet, in December last, Presiden
Mckinley said in his message to Con
gress: "our plain duty is to alolis
all customs tariffs between the Unite
States and Porto Rico, and give he
products free access to our markets.
How completely he "changed hi

Seine fishing is going on in the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal and many
fish are being caught. Carp and bass
are taken in large quantities. Last
season the canal company stopped net
fishing, but it is now permitted. As
carp are looked upon as destructive of
other fish, it il considered advisable TO
reduce their numbers. Herring have
not yet started. ..

Alfred G. Hammer, Representative in
Congress from the Fourth Pennsylvania
district, who died at his home in Ger
mantown, Tuesday, was the Father
of the House." He was first elected
to Congress in 1870 and re elected in
1872. In 1874, owing to split in the
Republican party, he was defeated, but
was reelected in 1876, and at every
election thereafter, including the
election of 1898. He was therefore a
member of the Forty-second, Fol- ty. third
and Forty-fifth Congresses, and Of every

present, the Fifty-sixtb. His entire
term comprised q years, the last %
consecutively, record rarely, if ever,

The firm of A. S. Lascelles & Co. of
New York City, which has paid, under
protest, more than half million dollars
IN duties on goods imported from Porto
Rico since that island became, by right
OF conquest, United States territory, IS
now suing for the refundipg of the
amount SO paid. The firm contends
that as Porto Rico is United States
territory, the constitutional provisions
for free trade within the limits of our
territory apply to goods imported from
that island. The case is to 90 to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and the decision Of that final tribunal
will be awaited with deep interest.
There is cely doubt that il will
sustain the contention of the plaintiffs.
Explorer Nansen is firmly of the
opinion that Andree is lost, and de-
clares that there is no longer hope for
him. A great many people arrived at
this conclusion months ago,
