SOME BIG PENSION FIGURES.

The Bar, which is naturally a non
partisan publication, anent the effort to
bounce Commissioner Evans from the
Pension Department because he mas
strictly and honestly administered the
pension laws so far as came within his
province, has collated some interesting
not to say startling figures on the SUBJ
ject in general.
The annual appropriation bill now car
ries sl45, 245, 23O. This is the largest appro-
priation on record.
The amount to be appropriated this year
for pensions, thirty-six years after the
close of the civil war. to which the en-
ormous charge is chiefly due, exceeds
the aggregate payments on the same ac-
count during the five years from 1879 to
1883, inclusive.
1t is more than double the appropria-
ton of 1890, eleven years ago.
1t is more than double the expenditures
of the federal government, for all pur-
poses, in 1861, the first year of the Civil
War
1t nearly equals the total expenditures
of the federal government excluding in
terest on the public debt, in 1871 only
thirty years ago.
1t is more than five times what the re-
public was paying for pensions in 1878,
thirteen years after the end of the Civil
War.
The total number of pensioners now on
the roll is 1913, 529. Twenty years ago there
We're 250, SOP.
The total number of new claims allowed
last year was 40.645 exceeding by more

stoned in the roll by the deaths of old

THE STEEL STRIKE AND OUR
FOREIGN TnAnE

Not the least important aspect of the
present great steel strike is its bearing
on the foreign iron and steel trade of
the United States. The tie-up of this
industry at this time is calculated to
give the iron and steel industry
abroad the very opportunity it wanted
most in order to recoup and regain ito
lost ground in the worlds markets
where it formerly was supreme. The
London Iron and Coal Trades Review
says:
So far as finished iron is concerned
the cost of labor plays a much more i'm
portant part than 1t does in the manufac-
ture OF either pig iron or steel, and espe-
. cially recently. seeing that the rate al
lowed for pudding has been higher than
in any year since 1873 when 1t rose to over
lis per ton. The latest official statistics
of realized prices show conflicting results
In the principal districts. In the north of
England recent ascertainment showed
an increase of about IS. I'd. per ton, while
for the same period the ascertainment for
Scotland showed a decrease of about IS.
~ P'i toi' anu III tllt IlluidHtS, LOT lHe
same period, the decrease on the previous
audit was about IS. Sd. per ton. In all
these matters things are at present prob
ably at their worst for the British manu-
facturers, and when things are at their
worst they begin to mend"
And matters in the British iron and
steel trade will mend infinitely more
rapidly when iron and steel production
is practically stopped in the United
States and this greatest producing
national is eliminated from the worlds
competitive markets, as will be the case

THE CELTIC ARRIVES.
Biggest Ship in the World Reached

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The biggest
ship in the world, the Celtic, Of the
White Star line, reached her dock to-
day on her maiden voyage. Her time
from Liverpool was eight days and for
ty-six minutes. AS she is berthed, hen
steerage deck is higher than the en-
trance to the pier. After she was warm
ed in the iron doors aft, the cabins had
to be opened to land the passengers.
The sun deck towers above the roof of
the pier.
Three hundred ard forty-fve cabin
and two hundred and sixty-eight steer
age passengers came over on the Gel
tic. 1t was not intended that the big
liner could make any marvellous time
on this trip. Her average speed was
1895 knots, although she is able to leg
sixteen ana a half knots an hour.

A Gift from the King to Croesus.
A New York illustrated paper pre-
sents picture of John P. Morgan, and
says: "The man to whom thousands
of workmen are now appealing"
Mr.. Morgan is a financier. A finan-
cier in these days is man who makes
money-not the man at the mint, but
a man who can, by legitimate methods
outside of burglary and highway rob-
berry accumulate dollars.
Mr.. Morgan is financier-a finan-
cier is like the City OF Soloman-
Neither does he spin, nor hew wood,
nor draw water; but he gathers money.
There are many ways Of getting
it. We cannot canvass the various
methods of Mr.. Morgan, but will recall
but one incident. viz.:--the bond loan
during the Cleveland administration.
1t will be remembered that at the
time of the issuance of these bonds,
presumably to protect the gold reserve,
that Congress made them payable in
coin" Grover cleveland returned the
bill and suggested that the word coin"
be stricken out and the word gold
substituted, for, by doing so the bonds
could be floated at a much lower rate
of interest and the government there
by, save $l6,O00,00O.
The bonds, however, were issued

ISOLATION in all Of our mills
This is the telegram which it is said
was sent from the Billion Trusts head
quarters in New York Saturday night
to the trusts local agents in Pittsburg.
1t is difficult to believe that any of
the brainy financiers and captains OF
industry at the head of the United
States Steel Corporation would deliber-
ately make such break as this.
In this country where all are free and
equal before the law, for an aggregation
OF wealth, OF whose Legitimacy there is
serious question, to take such an arro-
CANT and unAmerican stand against the
legitimate organization Of labor is
bound to be SO overwhelmingly unpop-
ular that it is inconcevable that the
long headed financiers engineering this
greatest of trusts would be so foolish
as thus to prejudice their case in ad-
Tance-for the ultimate decision in this
finish fight" between organized capt.
tai and organized labor rests with the
people, and, to begin with, the Ameri-
can people are none too friendly to
trusts.
1t 10 no time for bluff and buster,
and it is questionable if the Incorporate
dispatch quoted was really authorized
by anyone in authority in the big trust.

THE GROWTH OF THE TROLLEY.

While projects are pending for the
union of Wheeling with the remainder
OF the Panhandle by trolley and for
similar connection in northwestern
Ohio, 1t is interesting to note that a
line has been completed so that within
sixty days it will be possible TO go from
Pittsburg to Detroit by trolley, by way
OF Cleveland and Toledo, over roads
under a single management, and at a
cent a mile.
The indianapolis News says:
This announcement Is an indication
that the long distance trolley is being so
developed, both as to length and line.
TO speed and to carrying capacity for
passengers and freight, as to become
factor in general transportation and TO be
reckoned with as a serious competitor of
the steam roads. Cleveland, within
cent years, has become the heart of
network of suburban or interurban roads
which reach most if not all of the i'm
portant towns within a radius of fifty
miles. These roads furnish the nucleus
of this new system. Last spring this sys-
build 500 miles of track, and ordered mo-
tors with a guaranteed speed of sxty-five
miles an hour and power TO climb 9 per
cent grades. These motors were ordered
for the line between Detroit and Toledo.
and here will come serious rivalry with
the steam roads. 1t should be plain to
the simplest comprehension that we are
on the eve of a development in electric
transportation such as we have never
seen. While it calls for prudence and
careful management it also demands an
intelligent and liberal appreciation, par
ticularly in the beginning, that will give
such encouragement as shall develop the
system in it's utmost possibility. The
cities that are quickest to see the advan-
tages of this new situation and to encour-
age the DEVELOPMENT will be those that
will profit most
All OF which is of special interest to
Wheeling just at present.
