The total numoer of pensioners is
1850. The number receiving artificial
limb fund aid was 81, the amount paid
out being 81, 999 26. The report has a
list of transfers from one county to an
other, those who have died during the
year and such like statistics, which
will greatly aid the county boards in
future in getting up correct rolls.
The increase in the number of pen
sioners and the increase in the num-
Der of applications yearly grows and if
such continue much longer the appro-
priation will furnish q pittance much
smaller than that now received unless
the appropriation is increased. That
cannot be done just now and that is
why an effort will be made during the
next Legislature to make the require
ments more stringent for accepting an
application.

In the course OF Jlo forenoon SESSION.
Mr.. MacVeagh examined Mr.. Mitchell
regarding the eight-hour demand, and
referred to the fact that Abraham Lin
coin, James A. Garfield and William
Mckinley worked more than eight
hours day and were thus enabled to
climb the ladder to the Presidency.
MI. MacVeagh grew eloquent in the
course Of putting one of his questions
to Mr.. Mitchell regarding the martyr
ed Presidents, adding:
ct only mention these because they
are the three victims of the spirit OF
anarchy which is the curse of this
country today, and the only serious
curse affecting it.
The miners president, quick as a
flash, came back with the inquiry,
TRADE unions are not held responsible
for it, are they?'' to which Mr.. Mac
Veagh quickly responded that they
were not, and supplemented this with
the remark that labor unions are most
admirable. The bringing of the word
anarchy into the examination
caused distinct murmur of disap-
proval from the many mine workers IN
the Court room.
While the discussion of the effect a
yearly agreement would have on the
coal industry in the anthracite region
was in progress, frequent reference was
made to the workings of agreements IN
soft coal regions.
This led to the announcement by
Chairman Gray that the commission
had decided to invite Herman just,
commissioner of the Illinois Coal
Operators Association, to testify be-
fore the commission. This announce
ment was favorably received By each
side, and the attorneys for the miners
and operators made suggestions for ad-
ditional witnesses.

has completed his investigation Of the
charges brought against Senator Quay
for violation of the federal law by
soliciting campaign contributions from
ofhceholders. Of course the attorney
entirely vindicates the Senator, who it
seems from the Attorneys report, was
in dense ignorance of the fact that his
name was used. If the Senator had
been less successful in the manipula-
tion of the Pennsylvania elections the
Attorney might have found differently.
The enthusiasm with which Henry
Watterson is backing Senator German
as the coming democratic leader is oc-
casioning some surprise among the
friends of the veteran Kentucky
editor. They do not deny the ability
of the Maryland Senator but they do
not regard him as sound on the tariff
question and they say the man who
aspires to lead the democratic party in
the next national campaign must be
an tariff reformer. That Mr.. German
will promptly become the leader of the
domcratic side of the Senate is the con-
fdent expectation of the democrats in
Washington.
It will doubtless prove source of
disappointment to many families to
learn that the administration, at the
behest of the protected interests in
the Philippines, has decided that
Christmas boxes for the soldier boys in
the islands will be subject to the
same tariff duties as other merchandise.
There will be no duty free Christmas
presents for the soldier boys this year.

AS a rule people are hard up be-
cause they are careless with their
money. The trusts have nothing to
do with it.; hard times makes no diff
terence; the tariff is not in the Ques-
ton, and the national debt cuts no
ice. 1t is plain, simple proposition
that is narrowed right down to the
individual; he is careless in spending
his money, or his family is. If man
gets on a tear occasionally, he cannot
hope to save any money, and if he
spends money thoughtlesslY, or his
family does, his money goes and he
never knows what has become OF it.
BY watching closely, almost anyone
can cut down his expenses fifty cents
day. This runs up pretty well to-
wards 5000 year. An Atchison man
of family who draws SIS week saves
from 81 to $40 a week without any eff
fort whatever, and has done so for ten
years. There is no secret to it: he
simply watches his expenses, neither
accepts drinks nor offers them, and
says ''no'' positively to agents, or
others who make unnecessary de-
mands on his pocketbook. Atchison
