NEW PENSION APPLICATIONS.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
is alarmed. 1t begs congress to get
out its largest waste basket f'r
pension applications. IF all IL
pension bills now before congress
were enacted into law the effect
would be to add $500 000, 900 to the ma
tons annual expense account, it says.
These are claims growing out Of the
civil war. The Spanish conflict is just
beginning TO be heard from in the
pension department. After the applica-
lions are pigeonholed there for a while
special bills viii be introduced
The Mail and Express Of the same
date contains the following paragraph
based on information obtained at the
pension department at Washington:
''The fact that applications for pensions
from veterans of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war are coming to the pension
bureau in such large numbers has
caused the commissioner Of pensions to
inquire into the matter, and he has
found that about one in every twelve
Of the ennstments during the last two
years has applied for a pension, the
application being made either by the
soldier or his widow or children"
The New York Tribune says that the
tide of pension applications for serv-
ice in the war with Spain has scarcely
set in, although the pension depart
ment shows signs Of establishment at
the number already filed; while few
who remained in the Philippines
through the rainy season will fail to
require and solicit government aid.
Yet all three Of these metropolitan
newspapers, in other columns of their
respective editorial pages urged an
3rerease in the size OF the standing
army. a colonial policy and the estab-
lishment Of garrisons in distant islands
Of the sea.

disabled veterans we already have than
to inaugurate policies for the disabling

GOLD AND The TRANsVAAL.

Henry Clews, the financial authority
of wall street, says that the gold out
put Of the Transvaal should not affect
the markets and cannot impair the cir
eulation of the worlds money"
There is TO fear Of a scarcity of
gold" he says. "the worlds production
going on at rate which renders the
temporary sJopDage Of Transvaal sup
plies a matter Of no serious import
ance. What the requirements Of Eu-
rope viii be and how much gold we
shall export it is impossible to say.
Much depends upon the course OF the
Transvaal war. which is likely to be Of
longer duration than at first expected,
though with the same cOnclusiOn-that
Of victory to British arms"
Then some other excuse viii have to
be studied up by the politicians for the
recent panics and the continued scare
ity Of gold for commercial purposes
in Europe. No one denies that there
IS an abundance Of gold in Great Brit
ain. but the bankers are keeping it in
their vaults.
That ia the trouble with gold 1t is
the money of the bankers. When
mixed with a proper proportion Of sill
yer coin they circulate side by side as
The money Of the people.
Perhaps, If the prayer Of Wall street
for a British triumph in South Africa,
as touched upon IN the foregoing quo
taGon. is. answered soon the English
bankers may ease up q little OF the
gold they have been boarding.

TRUST PROSPERITY.

Merchants are receiving notices from
manufacturers and from eastern whole

sity is going up in price-that the ad-
vance in muslins, eambrics, woolens
and the like has been from 10 to 3
per cent.
Furniture is going out Of sight. Iron
beds and similar wares have s5vsnoed

STORY OF THE INDIAN.

Bishop Whipple has just published a
book Of "reminiscences, some Of which
illustrate the manner in which craft,
disguised as civilization, has taken ad-
vantage of the simple faith, the super
stitions and the business inexperience
Of the American Indians.
Tribe after tribe has been driven from
it's domain, herded in reservations,
transferred from one corral to an
other as the value OF the lands aD-
pealed to mans cupidity, until, when
manifest destiny had exasperated them,
resistance was met with extermina-
ton. and the final chapters of Indian
history are being written.
A government agent was sent to per-
suade the Chippewas, among whom the
bishop had been labOring, TO give up a
rich reservation they occupied for a
larger tract of worthless land. The
bishop, loyal TO his government"
agreed to leave the agent to his task
and to say nothing to the Indians Of
the unwisdom of making the trade. SO
the agent called the red men together
at Crow Wing and made this speech
to them:
Ny friends. your Great Father has
heard how much YOU have been wrOHged.
and he determined to send an honest man
20 treat with YOU. He looked in the

said:

head and have silvered II with gray. But

He sat down. His fellow savages
shouted Ho! Ho! Ho!" and the coun-
ell was over.

HANNA VS.. WEBSTER.

Until the advent Of Marcus AuTelius
Hanna, the Cleveland trust magnate,
Daniel Webster was generally regard
ed as "a statesman of marvellous fore
sight and profound wisdom. In fact,
right up to the time the banks and
combines sent their delegates to St.
Louis and nominated Mckinley for the
presidency, Republicans always rever-
enced Webster as one Of the pioneers
of their party.
It is interesting now, with the last
message Of President Mckinley before
US. and in the light Of the currency
bill now pending-"a fulhllment of the
pledges of the St Louis platform we
are told-to recall the sentiments Of
Daniel Webster
In one of his great speeches, the New
England statesman said:
There never has been devised by men
a plan more speCiCus by which labor could
be robbed OF the fruits of toll than the
. banking system. The people not only
take bank paper as money. paying inter
est on IL at enormous rates. but when
The banks suspend, the people lose the
discount while the bankers gain it. The
people wonder why financial pauics occur
SO frequently. J can tell them why. 1t
is to the interest Of bankers and brokers
that they should occur. 1t is one Of the
specioUs methods by which these despotic
and utterly useless knaVes rob the pro
duCing, manufacturing and mercantile
classes of their honest earnings. 1t Is one
Of the chief plans By which this Infamous
ring is riVeting the chains Of slavery upon
the limbs of labor. 1t is one of the chief
means adopted to build up a money avis

IT'S UP TO THE MAYOR.

Mayor Thompson is right in saying
that the health Of the people IS Of The
highest Importance in city government.
He is right toe, when he says that
contagious diseases are traceable to
infractions Of sanitary laws-most
ailments may be traced TO that point
de is right when he says that such
diseases spread as a result Of the
lax enforcement of quarantine laws. 1t
has been the case in this city.
The way TO remedy this defect is to
appoint quarantine physician who
understands his business and realizes
the necessity Of a strict quarantine. If
IL isn't strict it isn't a quarantine at
all.
We hope the mayor viii keep this
in mind when he appoints a city physi-
clan.

The drawing pen is filled by dropping
the ink between the nibs while held in
a nearly vertical position. The pen
can be used with a straight edge ruler;
the taper to the point is sufficient to
throw it far enough away from the

of the line is regulated by adjusting the
