BRILLIANT PENSION IDEA.

A correspondent of the Phila.
delphia Enquirer, attacking PEN
sion Commissioner Evans for do
ing his duty in refusing to grant
promiscuously fraudulent pension
claims, makes an argument which
will doubtless impress the claim
ants. He holds that the distribu-
ton of pensions is great help to
business.
"Twelve millions a month" he
says, scattered in the channels oi
trade makes things boom; not only
SO, but local taxation is relieved
to that extent, and many house
rent is paid which otherwise would
be defaulted."
And IL $l2, 100000 a month doe
such wonders, $4,000, 600 month
would be better still. 1t would b.
strong argument to others, a
we'll as to the claimants, if tn
millions thus distributed did no
have to be collected FIRST, and i
there were any reason why the,
should be turned over to fraudulen
claimants rather than to other peo

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Sept. 13.-Luth Tib'

JANEsvrLLE, Wis, Sept. 13.-Terror re.
igns at Evansville, Rock County, where
leopard belonging to George Hall es.
capped from its cage today and is still at
large. The animal is a valuable one,
lately purchased by Mr.. Hall, and little
Is known of its disposition. As soon as
the escape was discovered parties were
sent out in all directions hunting for the
animal, but up to noon no trace OF it
had been found. The last seeh OF the
leopard it was rapidly making its way
toward this city. and is thought to be in

The escape Of the leopard was more

CUBA AND THE DEMOCRACY.

The Louisville Post editorially
discusses the proposition that the
Democracy advocate either the
peaceful or forcible annexation of
Cuba, so Ms to have an issue for
which to fight. We are unaware
that any Democratic paper has adj
vocated the forcible annexation of
Cuba. II any have they have
been recreant to party principle
and will scarcely receive any sym
pathy from the rank and file of
the party, That there is tend
ency among Republican leaders to
carry our infamous policy in Cuba
still further by forcible annexation
is we'll known. There is nothing
in Republican principles nor in
the record of the immediate past
to prevent such disgraceful pro-
ceedings. The Democrats are not
so free, however. They hold that
governments derive their just pow
er from the consent of the govern
ed.
Still, as suggested by the Louis
Vile Post, the Democracy has al
ways looked forward to the ulti-
mate annexation of Cuba. 1t was
one of the dreams of Jefferson. II
had the approval of jackson. II
was one of the hobbies of Douglas
But jefferson made it perfectly
clear that the annexation of the
island must be with the consent OF
the people. Such is the position
of the Democracy today.
If, as suggested by our Louis
vile contemporary any Democra,
tic papers of any consequence are
advocating forcible annexation,
they are disloyal to principle and
unmindful of consistency. The
Democracy was correct when it
took its elemental foundation prin-
ciples from the Declaration of In
dependence. 1t was correct when,
in response to those principles, it
opposed tina criminal subjugation
of the Philippines, And if it was
correct in the Philippine case il
would be wrong to advocate the
criminal subjugation of Cuba. Ii
it be just to pursue such policy,
then the Democratic record of a
hundred years has been a farce, its
fundamental principles mere SEN
timent, and its mission an unprin-
cipled scramble for the spoils OF
office. Are any Democratic pap
ers willing to take that posi-
ton?
When in response to their hat
red of injustice the Democrats
forced the administration to call a
halt npon the savagery in Cuba,
they meant exactly what they said
in disclaiming any intention of
conquest. They believed, how
ever, that once freed from Spanish
domination the proximity of the
island to the United States and
the superior political and CONNER
cial advantages of American citi-
zenship would inevitably determine
the Cubans upon annexation.
They believe so yet. While the
corruption and deception which
have characterized our rule in
Cuba might be expected to cool
the ardor OF the annexationlsts,
there is still a respectable and ever
growing element which hopes to
sec Cuba one of the United States.
When that element becomes ma
.jority ard that majority has spok-
en- its desire, the Democracy will
welcome Cuba with open arms.
But until that time it will not dim
the splendor of its position in the
campaign of 1900 by advocating
the criminal subjugation Of the
island.

the ilrat opinion formed has re"
fused to down.
Now comes an American who
has lived much in England, Poult-
ney Bigelow, who evidently de-
sires to be fair to both sides in
the controversy, with an article
upon the subject in the lndepen-
dent. That he is not embittered
against the government is evident
from his declaration that the En-
glish flag means local self-govern-
ment and constitutional liberty
wherever it floats. He admits
that there has been much of bru-
tality on the part of the British
during the contest admits that
the Cham berlains, and Miners,
and Rhodeses are actuated by the
most mercenary motives, but holds
that upon the advent of peace an
administration will be formed
capable of giving liberty and law
to every man from the Governor
down to the poorest kaffir. Such
being his attitude, he would have
no occasion for unduly eulogiz-
ing the personal character OF
the Boer
Having travelled extensively in
South Africa before the war and
mingled famiiiarly with the peo-
pie in their homes, from the Presl-
dent down to the most lowly far
mer. he is in position to speak
with authority. In explaining
the position of the English be
says:
The Englishman's notion OF a
gentleman is a man with a high
hat and a frock coat-a member
of several clubs and who dresses
elaborately for dinner. ltis hard
| for him to think that people oil
any other country can be gentle
men unless they do the same
thing. Thus from the English
point of view Paul Kruger can
not be a gentleman and a man
who is not gentleman is not t.
good soldier or n good statesman
cannot rise above the level ol
an ignorant peasant or day
laborer!
Englishmen write good history,
but do not appear to read it-leas'
of all their own. They donot re.
call that the leaders of the armies
in America were in many cases
much like the Jouberts, the Cron
jes, and the De Vets of our time
The Boer then seems TO be 9
victim of that certain condescen-
sion" of which Lowell speaks
Bigelow in crossing the yeldt was
often forced to seek a nights
lodging in some lonesome farm
house. Almost invariably he
| found the "fare simple, the people
rugged but honest, the beds hard
but clean" How unlike the
picture painted by the average
English sympathizer! In discus
sing the charges of inhumanity
brought against the Boer, he says
/ that in his experience "those who
speak most justly and generously
of the Beers are not the fnanciers
and politicians, but the soldiers in
! the field, who have not merely
felt the sting of the Boer bullet,
but shared his flask afterward." Of
President Steyn, who has been
charged with ignorance and bru-
tality, he says: president Steyn
is an accomplished scholar and
traveller who would be an orna-
ment in any cultivated house.

the personal character of the

enough advantage without resor-

FOR CIVIL WAR VETERANS.
No Power TO Correct the Records of
Other Soldiers

Judge Advocate General Lieber has lust
rendered an opinion, which will prevent
for some time the correction of the rec
ords of any soldier OF officer who served
during the war with Spain, and whose
record might contain anything rejecting
upon his service. Congress some years
ago passed an act. which provided for the
correcting CT the records of soldiers and
officers who served in the civil war. This
act limited the Secretary Of War in its
action. and did not give him authority to
correct the records of any soldier outside
of those who had served in the civil war
Recently a private of volunteers, no
served in the war with Spain, who had
been given a dishonor able discharge on a
charge of deser.ion, applied for the re-
moval of the accusation. and asked for
an honorable discharge The case was re-
ferred to General Ainsworth. Chief of the
Record and Pension Office. who asked
that the Judge Advocate General re nder
an opinion in regard to the matter. Cen
eral Lieber says:
Il do not think that it can be too posi-
lively declared that it is absolutely IN
authorized to tlmper with records in this
way" He points out that there is no au-
thority from Congress for the correction
of these records. and that Until Congress
gives such authority no record of soldiers
Spain can be corrected by the War De-
partment. In this opinion General I.ieber
is sustained by the action of the Score

HILL OUT OF THE B. & o.
Samuel Pea and James McCrea
Elected to the Directorate.

| BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE election of
| Samuel Rea and James McCrea as men,
! bers of the Board of Directors of the Bal
| timore and Ohio Railroad is taken as an
| indication that a Pennsylvania Railroad
| official will be made Vice President and
General Manager of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. 1t is expected that this
office will be filed at a meeting of the
directors to be held within the next two
| weeks. 7. F. Loree, Fourth Vice Presi-
| dent of the Pennsylvania Company. oper-
ating the lines west of Pittsburg, is also
persistently spoken of as president to sue
| coed Mr.. Cowen.
The retirement of James ]. Hill from
the Baltimore and Ohio board is due to
the fact that Mr. Hill sold out his inter
ests in the property. Charles II. Tweed
who also retired from the board, was a
representative in the Baltimore and Ohio
of Speyer & Co. This firm had two rep
resentatives on the board, including Mr..
Tweed and Martin Erdman. Both were
chosen at the last annual meeting Of the
stockholders.
The Pennsylvania Railroad now has
four directors out of twelve. and it is
generally assumed that the entrance of
James McCrea in the board will mean his
election as chairman to succeed William
Solomon. Intimate friends of Mr.. Cowen
have been urging him to retire from the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio and
take up the practice of law. which would
be many times more profitable to him.
Whatever Mr.. Governs views on this
subject are, he has not expressed them
to his intimate friends, and the future
official family of the Baltimore and Ohio
would be difficult to guess at in the face
of the present circumstances
PHILADELPHIA, May lit was
stated at the office of the Pennsylvania
Railroad today that within few days
Leonor f. Loree Fourth Vice President
of the Pennsylvania Company and Cen
eral Manager of the lines west of Pitts
burg. would be made President of the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad. 1t was
also said that J. c. Stuart, General Man
ager and Superintendent of the middle
and northwest divisions of the Baltimore
and Ohio road, will be made General Su-
perintendent of the entire system
This action. it was said, would place the
BaltimoSe and Ohio entirely in the CON
troll of the Pennsylvania. The announce
ment of Mr.. Loree's elevation was not
official, but it came from such place that
left little reason for doubt.
MIR. Loree was born in 1858, was edu-
Gated at Rutgers. and entered the Penn
sylvania service in 1871, as an assistant
in the engineering corps.
