Complete That Sentence.

In quite lengthy editorial on the
Andrews letter, the Boise Statesman
takes the opportunity, SINGULAR,
enough, to speak very nicely of the
Populist party and to encourage The
attitude OF Chairman Andrews. In
closing its article the following SEN
tence is employed:
Beyond that, all is mere guess
work, but the Statesman is inclined Ia
believe that the Populists will be dis
posed to stand together independently
OF the Democrats.
II might have been we'll for the
writer OF that sentence to have added
to 1T what was undoubtedly in his
mind, but what would have spoiled the
effect of the whole article-namely
these words, "as by so d ing we Re
publicans will be able to carry the
State at the next election
This would have been an honest ad
mission, anyway, whether it were good
politics or not.-Hailey News Miner,
Populist.

Some Facts
and Opinions
CLAIMS OF WIDOWS.


rhc Commissioner OF Pensions in his
annual report urges the repeal OF the
ict OF 1883 which swept away all limi-
.ations as to widows claims under the
general law Since 1883 there has boen
a stream OF claims filed by women who
profess to be the widows OF soldiers
who died from disease or were killed
In the civil war. In all these cases,
when allowed, arrearages for a third
of a century are paid. says Chicago
Tribune. So. though the pension itself
may be small the total amount OF
money involved is large and hence the
temptation to set up fraudulent claims
Is great. There has been many such
claims, and their investigation has
taken up time to the prejudice OF more
meritorious applications. The Grand
Army Of the Republic has found fault
with the pension bureau on account OF
its alleged dilatoriness Naturally It
makes slower progress when it has to
deal with so many OF these venerable
claims. where the government stanGa
an excellent chance OF being defrRuded
unless n thorough inquiry into theiF
merits is made. Usually when suoh
an inquiry is set on foot the parties
interested and their friends proclaim
loudly that tho spies" of the bureau
are prosecuting the poor widow
There Ia no good roason why objee-
tion should be made to the repeal Of
law which is In the deliberate epln-
ion of the commissioner OF penaiona
after several years experience of ita
workings "a standing invitation 20 hle
fraudulent claims" Surely during the
last thirteen years all the women WAC
have rightful claims running back 20
the time of the war or noon after its
close have made their claims and hsd
them allowed.

NEED OF MORE SMALL BILLS.

United States Treasurer Roberts IA
going TO ask Congress 70 allow him 60
increase the proportion OF bills OF
small denominations issued yearly, II
permission is granted him more than
sl40,000,000 OF treasury and national
hank notes of denominations of $40
and upwards will be reissued In small
er bills. There were outstanding on
Sept. 80 last 81 bills to the amount OF
S67,679, 900; 81 bills to the amount OF
si2. 2.S0l ,000 and S. bills to the amount
of s310,570,0 900. These are no small fg-
ures II they were to be compared
with those of ten years ago they would
seem enormous. Rapidly as these
small bills circulate-flves as well as
ones are small bills nowadays-thero
are not enough of them In circulation
to meet the demands of a community
which Is actively engaged In making
small payments for goods or for serv.
ices. This pressure for bills OF low
denominations is only one of the evi.
dences of the general well-being OF tho
people. The retail business OF the
country must be enormous at this time
The wholesale business ia done &C
largely with checks that there will be
no scarcity Of large bills even after
such bills to the amount of 3l40, ,000, ,00c
have been broken up into small
change. Congress certainly should give
the treasurer the authority he asks for
and should do 80 speedily.-Exchange,
