THE PENSION PROBLEM.

There is no feature of our gov
ernment SO disgraceful at the
present time as the pension sys-
tenn. This reeks with corruption,
is redolent of fraud, perjury and
wrong.
The total of the claims for pen
sions for the war with Spain filed
up to date, is in the neighborhood
of $4,000. of which but 1000 have
thus far been granted.
Our army in the war with Spain
attained a maximum strength of
10000 regulars and volunteers.
The claims filed, therefore, repre-
sent less than 20 per cent. of the
soldiers We employed. and the pen
sions to be granted will probably
sustain a much smaller percentage
to the number of men in arms.
IF our Civil war pensions were
on the same scale we should not
need to meet an annual pension
charge of $i4O,OOO,oO0 36 years
after Lees surrender. May /,
1866, three weeks after Lees sur
render, the total strength of the
tTnion army was |, ,OO0,5l6 officers
ana men. juno 80, 1901, there
were on the pension rolls the
names Of 997. .S54 pensioners. In
other words, the army of pen
sioners today is within 5000 of
the strength of tho army of SOL
diers We lad in 1866.
Let us hope that the veterans of
the war with Spain win hold pa
trlotism on higher level than
have the veterans Of the Civil War.
Pensloned patriotism should be alb.
horred. let Spanish waNyeterans
assume an attitude whereby they
can hold their heeds high.

Italian Killed
Neighbors in Feud

TRINIDAD, Colo, Aug. 1.-As the re-
suit OF long standing feud over an irri-
eating ditch Salvador Parriss and his
son Charles engaged in duel near here
at O'Clock this morning with Phil Nc
Williams. When the battle ended Par
riss and his son were both dead. Nc
Williams, who was unhurt, came into
town and surrendered himself to the
sheriff and is now held in Jail.
According to McWilliams' story, and
he is the only living witness to the duel,
he left his house early this morning to
hunt coyotes. He was armed with a Win
chester. Halfway between his ranch
and the Parriss ranch he met the Par
rises, father and son. The father open
ed fire on him with q repeating rife and
the son followed suit. He returned the
ire, but not, he says, until his horse
had been shot from under him. He shot
both his enemies through the head,
killing them instantly. The coroner
found five unexpIoded cartridges in the
the fathers gun and nine in the sons.
The elder Parriss, who was an Italian,
was superintendent OF the coke ovens of
the Victor Fuel Company at Gray Creek
and his son ran his ranch for him.
McWilliams, who is one of the most
prosperous and popular ranchmen IN the
district, took water for his ranch from
point on common ditch ssaboYe the
Parriss ranch Parriss has long accused
him OF taking more than he ID entitled
TO, Parriss was of Quarrelsome dis
position, and the opinion here is that
the killing was justifiable

from the exercise of ordinary social
courtesies with Schley, solely be-
cause it would be accepted by the
Navy Department AS an affront
that was likely to bring humiliat-

This mean gindictiveness ruled
the Navy Department and stripped
every naval officer of his social
manhood, and thus stripped him
of one of the most important at
tributes of an officer and a gentle

HUGHES AND THE DEVIL


hell and tears in Heaven.
What makes the case really bad
and hideous is the conviction that
Hughes, the truly good and pious
Hughes, fears Uncle Sam more
than he does his God. Is Hughes
so certain of his pull with Omnip-
otence that he can defy divine
behests, while surrendering meek
ly to the rules and regulations
governing lotteries laid down by
Uucie Sam?
To explain: A week ago Hugh
es, in that most diverting publica-
ton, the Arizona Star. set forth in
bold type that he was running
lottery. He enumerated number
of articles from a piano to a kodak
that were to be rafiied according to
the rules of the game at four dol
lars ticket. When The Citizen
in the interest of law, morality
religion, good order, good be-
havior and good example, called
the attention of the postal author
itIas, to the gross violation of law,
hughes withdrew the advertise
ment. We supposed that our pray
ers and tears for his reformation
had been heard in Heaven, that he
Was strengtfened and embolden-
ed and made into real man, and
had kicked the devil and all his
imps out OF his office. We glor-
led in the good mans restored
character. For What is the good
of spending the hot dags in the old
pueblo if you can't point out
Hughes to strangers visiting the
town, as the embodiment Sof all
that is good and pure and vistu-
GUS and holy: if Hughes should
keep permanently off the straight
and narrow track, what have We
left to show to visitors? So We
were much overcome with Joy
when we thought we found evil
dence of Hughes reformation. We
extoiled him to his fellow citizens
we knew that our redeemer liyeth
but now, alasi we can hear ribald
shouts from hell, and the devil il
a waggin' of his tail. The imps
from the dark corners are shouting
we've got him.
Hughes can cheat the govern
ment of the United States, but he
can't humbug God. We must al
pray for him: we must all helE
H. him to drive ont his devil, who
Like tape worm, is now safely en-
/ sconced in his innards Hughes
has modified his advertisement il
the starso as to escape the wratl
Ok uncis Sam, but he has ioodec
