At Cincinnati.

Iai, May 2O.-Although the
iachinists was not expected
'gurated until 10 a. m, pro-
c,esions were formed as early at 1880
o'clock and marched to the larger
manufacturing concerns and called
the men out. The response was quite
general, even among employees not
members of the machinsts' associa-
ton, who had given no intimation
that they were in sympathy with the
strike. Some of these men later eX-
planned to their employers that they
went out as n matter of policy, and
not of principle. Whether they will
return to work remains to be seen.

the hours of labor took effect Mon
day. Reports were received by Presi-
dent O'Connell of the National Asso-
citation of Machinsts, and other otii-
Gals, who are in this city, early in
the forenoon, indicating that large
number of establishments, heretofore
holding out against the demands of
the men, were making the necessary
concessions. Mr.. O'Connell said that
is was too early to make any esti-
mate of the number of men out. His
original figure was 100000 men di-
rcctly affected, and several hundred
thousand indirectly. This figure has
been largely reduced by the number
kof agreements reached in the last two
three days.
O'Connell, while refusing TO
my estimates or draw any con-
until later in the day, said
IT'S so far received were of

There is lively competition already
going on for the Office of Commander-in-

The Department of Minnesota, headed
by the Governor of the State, has come

The granting TO the veterans the hon

the correspondence with the best temper
and decorum, but with infiexible deter
minaton. The President saw the gravity
OF the situation, and that the veterans
Were no longer to be triGed with, and
made his wishes known, to which, of
course, Gen. Greene had to bow. Then
there was the largest and best display Of
veterans seen in Washington for some
years, and they were very interesting

PEOPLE who are always comparing the
expenditures OF our pension roll with the
cost of European military establishments
forget two important things, if they ever
stopped to inform themselves on them
The first is that the United States pension
ron represents more terrific fighting than
all the armies of Europe put together have
done in the last So years; and, second,
that the European Nations are only able
TO maintain their immense military es-
adjustments by keeping young conscripts
on beggarly pay, and much poorer cloth
ing and rations than we give our paupers
and convicts. Thus, while our regular
army costs much more than 81 600 year
for every enlisted man, Great Britain.
which has relatively the costliest military
establishment in Europe, only expends
S555 per man, or about half as much as
we do. Small as this is, Germany again
cuts it into two, and only spends 500 per
year per man on her army. As this iu-
cludes everything that goes into the army,
the private soldier probably does not get
much over 500 spent on him, out of
which his pay, food, clothes and arms
must be provided. As this is but about 81
week, it is no wonder that the German
soldier is poorly clad and always desper-
ately hungry. France is still more eco
nomical, and gets along on an expediture
OF S200 per man per annum. Austro.
Hungary does little better, and spends
$40 per man, but probably the aristo-
cratic officers, who do nothing and get
3roportionately large salaries, abscrt
most of it, and the private is worse OF
than in either France or Germany. Rus
sia cuts the figure down to the amazing
low rate of S175 per man per annum, and
feeds her soldiers On cabbaSes and tur
nips. Italy spends $500 a year per man
but Japan, which has been getting
along on $50, has raised it 20 S145. But
Japanese soldier can live on rice
and human life is very cheap in the
Orient. 1t is due TO say that these coun
tries consider service in the army in the
nature CT education for young men, and
therefore justify themselves for this
meager expenditure.

NO rroNoMY EXCEPT PENSIONS.


The startling fact that an appropria
ton of between S50.000,000 aud 0,Goe.
600 in the always-rotten River and Har
Dor Bill was only avoided by parlia
mentary trick, in which it was, at the
last moment, talked to death by Sen
ator whose term expired with it, calls
| tention to the fact of the enormous IN
crease in every direction of appropriations
by the two recent Congresses. 1t has not
been many years since there was a thrill
! of astonishment that the aggregate of APP
preparations by Congress reached 1,O00,-
! 600. 900, and the Democrats made the very
most on the stump of the phenomenal cS-
| travagance of the Billion Dollar Con
gress.'' Yet the appropriations by the last
two Congresses have each made appropria-
tions aggregating billion-and-a-half dol
| lars, or 80 per cent. more than that IA
nous hish-water mark.
The exact figure for the Fifty-6fth Con
gress was S1,56S, ,212, ,63T.S4. Those now
given for the aggregate appropriations of
the Congress just ended are 81 ,440, ,0G.2,
545.05. If the River and Harbor Bill had
not been defeated by cunning trick it
would have carried the total up to the bill
liOn-and-a-half mark. Probably defcien-
cies will occur to make the total up to
that figure.
1t is not merely IN the army and navy
appropriations that the disbursements are
enormously increased. We expected
them there, and approved of them. But
there has been an astonishing increase all
along the line. The Department of Acii-
n,1It,, S1 600 IL ,t,
1878. The Diplomatic and Consular
Service gets about 100000 more: the In
dian service, S2200,000 more; the LeSis-
lative, etc, So, 1o0, 900; the Military Acad-
envy, $500, 900; the Post Office, S}1 900,
coo; the Sundry Civil, S29,000,000, and so
on. The total appropriations for the last
Congress exceed by the enormous amount
of 1895, 49,, ,2T20S those for the first two
years of McKinley's Administration.
There has been lavish increase of eX-
penditure everywhere but in the Pension
Bureau. 1t is true that the Pension Ap-
preparation is increase from Sill, ,32S, $50
for 1897, to S145,2i5, $50 for 1901, but rs

1t would appear that it was mainly made
for the purpose Of 'joIlying' them and
the country, ana making an opportunity
for a big showing of economy in one de-
partment of public expenditures.

FOR PENSION coMMIssr ,NER.

As we go to press the opinion on the
streets is that Maj. William Warner,
Past Commander-in-C of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has the best
| chances to be appointed Commissioner of
Pensions. He was in Washington just
before the Inauguration. aud upon his
return the Kansas City Star published the
| following:
"There is reason for believing that a
| tentative offer of the Office of Commits
sioner of Pensions, TO succeed III. Clay
Evans, has been offered Maj. William
Warner, United States Attorney for the
| Western District Of Missouri, and Past
| Grand Commander of the Grand Army Of
the Republic"
When interviewed, Maj. Warner said:
II am not now, nor have been, an ap-
plicant for the position. 1t is not best 10
decline Il position that has not been ten
dered. L am acting on that line"
Maj. Warmers appointment would be
widely applauded. He was real soldier
during the rebellion, and is very capable
lawyer, and man of large experience in
| public affairs, all of which put him in
strong contrast to the present Commits
sioner. He was strongly urged TO accept
the appointment by President Harrison,
after the retirement of Corporal Tanner,
but he declined then, because he could not
! afford to accept. He desired to return
hons ...i take care of his law practice,
which had suffered on account of his abb
| sence in Congress. President Mckinley
appointed him Attorney for the Western
District of Missouri, and this inclines
| many to believe that he will not accept
the Commissionersbip, which pays no
| more than his present position. which is
in the line of his professional and political
future.
Senator Shoup's name came up last
week. His appointment would be in con-
sOnance with the Administration policy
OF taking care Of Members Of Congress
who have been retired. Senator Shoup's
term expired March 3. He was born in
| Pennsylvania in 1885, went to Colorado in
| 1859, enlisted in Capt. Backuss scouts in
| 1861, and did good service among the In
dians. He was promoted TO Second Lieu
tenant, and then became q First Lieuten-
ant in the I'd Colo. Cav, and at the close
of the war was Colonel of the Sd Colo.
Cav. He went to Idaho in 1866 and be-
came Governor of the Territory and the
State, and has served two terms in the
Senate.
Commissioner Evans would like to have
his First Deputy, james l.. Davenport,
succeed him. Davenport served in the
same hundred duys's regiment as Evans.
He is a capable, genial man, thoroughly
versed in Pension Bureau practice, and
has many friends, who have been urging
his appointment.
THE report comes from Albany, n. Y.
that Past Commander-in-C Chief John
Palmer is being actively pushed for Com
missioner Of Pensions by Senator's Piatt,
Depcw, and the Republican Representa-
tives from New York.
