TARIFF TROUBLES.

Whether the Kasson reciprocity treaties are ap.

congress there is bound to be legislation of some
sort the tariff
Wall street, 1t is said, viii use all its influence to
prevent any 'tinkerng with the tariff" in order TO
keep up the bull market" but there is too much tariff
in the air for the "et alone and do nothing policy OF
the brokers of the street"
There is tariff in the air both in Europe and in the
United States. The European nations arc not only
retalating upon for the hostile provisions OF the
Dtngey bill, concerning which they are thoroughly
aroused but they passing tariff laws against each
other. Germany and Austria have fallen out over the
tariff The other neighbors of Germany are consider.
ing the tariff schedules of that country with a view
to retalatcry measures Even in free trade England
the Manchester Guardian says: we in England have
also been dealing with Germany in far too magnani-
nous spirit" The European nations are making the
tariff question issue with the United States Russia

that when congress meets will cause an cutlery foi
tariff legislation that will drown out the protests Of
Wall street Even there is a National reciprocit,

1t is amusing for democrats to watch this recent
illustration of the truth the old fable the moral OF
which is: 1T makes good deal Of difference whose
bull is gored." The people and the same Jour.

country when It Is adopted in Europe against us call

called it, both with regard to this country aud other
countries with consistency to which the republicans

REVOLUTION IN COLOMBIA.

There is trouble in Colombia. The revoutionsts
have taken Colon. 1t thought, when at the
PanAmerican congress few weeks ago Colombia and
Venezuela agreed to arbitrate their differences which
threatening war that peace would reign in that
part of the world, But Colombia, it seems, has no
succeeded in placating it's foreign enemy when
domestic enemy springs up and captures one of its
principal cities.
Revolutions in Colombia. as in other South Ameri-
can countries, are not of unusual occurrence There
was revolution there in 1860 to 1862, intermittent
revolutions till 1877 and another revolution in 1885
The regular army of Colombia, under General Al
ban, was moving on the revoutionsts or liberals as
they call themselves. at Chorrera, near Panama The
revolutionists detailed 100 men, under General Pano.

GOVERNMENT PENSIONS.

Statements in the newspapers throughout the coun-
try frequent the effect that the paid out
for pensions by the United States is very large, but
very few people realize exactly how large it is and how
many pensioners actually the rolls. Here are
few of the figures from the report of the commissioner
of pensions the secretary of the interior for the year
ending June 80 1901;
The total number of pensioners is 993,529 The
total amount paid them during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1901 $3S 531 ,4S3S4, The expenses CON
nected with the disbursement of this enormous for
salaries clerk hire medical examinations rent etc
make 81 05074S1i additional that the total cost
the government for pensions for the past year is s39
$50 2319S
There are 560i Spanish pensioners 1855 of
this number invalids. 2049 are widows There are
1857 Mexican war pensioners. There 4565 pen
soners from the Indian There 1928 pension
ers, survivor and 1927 widows from the of 1879
There are pensioners from the War of the Revolu
ton widows, daughters, no survivors, There are
97U352 civil pensioners, 7357S9 invalids, 234 500
widows
This last report shows that the high water mark"
in the history of the bureau has been reached. The
number of pensioners the rolls shown by this re-
port exceed by 1000 the number reached in any
previous year. The natural decrease from the death
OF pensioners with the lapse of time Is than
counterbalanced by the increase OF pensioners ac-
count of the with Spain and the ceasng in
crease from the civil The increase of pensioners
from tho civil war for the past year was 1901. This
is largely due TO the act of June T. 1888 which allows
pensions to widows to begin not from the date of fling
