Pensioners Protest Against Pensions.

The Grand Army men of Indiana
are literally up in arms against the in
creasinG disposition of Congress to
grant pensions to almost everybody,
and notably to Mrs. Mckinley and
Mrs. Harrison, as the widows of Presi-
dents, and regular campaign has
been inaugurated against that mea-
sure, as well as larger amounts to Of
fcers and their widows than to the
private soldier and his dependents.
The method adopted to call halt
in this over-zealous and ultra-gener-
Gus impulse of the custodians OF the
peoples money is 10y united action Of
posts and the endless chain system OF
individual cndeavor by letters to Con-
gressmen. Resolutions adopted by
the indianapolis post have been trans.
mitted to other posts, and these are
urged to adopt them and secure the ac-
ton OF still other posts. 1t IS thought
that by this means an action will be
secured which will, as usual with re.
quests of the old soldiers, meet with
immediate and respectful considera-
ton. The resolution declares that
1--WE have been Inundated for years
by special legislation giving greater pen
sions to officers and their widows than
to the private soldier" and it is wrong
and against the theory OF our govern
ment to favor distinctive class; that
there are now bills pending before Con-
gress to pension Mrs. Mckinley and
Mrs. Harrison and an outrageous bill to
give eX-Presidents pension of $25, 900.
Therefore. BE it Res0lced, that this
post will forever condemn those who
vote for the encouragement OF such leg
islation and hold them responsible for
this aping at the traditions of etlete
monarchies and thereby insulting the
intelligence and heroism of the soldiers
in the line who fought the battles and
received meager pay"

WHAT We DRINK.-The American
Grocer has compiled some figures from
government statistics which show that
while there has been a slight decline
in the use OF ardent spirits the increase
in malt liquors is just as notable. The
per capita ratio for the pact ten years
makes this showing: In 1892, were
drank Lei spirit gallons. "A wine gal
Ions and l7.l2 beer gallons. In 1901,
the amount consumed by each person
was 1.3S spirit, 81 wine, and 1880 beer
gallons. The same authority estimates
the consumption OF beer for the year
ending June 30, 1901, at $500, 922 $50;
of whisky, exclusive of the arts, at
1891 800, IT'S, and of wines S7,S3O,775,
or grand total of 81, O59. 563,7S7 The
government collected on this aggre.
gate, $l9l ,697 1888 or nearly $3.50 per
capita. Including coffee and tea. the
cost to each member Of our n, CAT 900
inhabitants, is estimated at $l6.4O per
annum.

Odell Turns Down Teddy.

The other day the President sent q
peremptory request 10 Gov. Odell, of
New York, to turn over to him letter
written to the Governor by Robt. r.
Sharkey, in explanation of bis action
in trying to get an indictment against
New York factory inspector quashed.
The Offense was not great one
merely violation of the prophecies,
Mr.. Sharkey being naval officer
and was simply an effort TO save a
boyhood friend from the consequences
of too lenient a view of a minor OIL
fetal transgression. The point in.
volved in referring to this subject is,
the sharp and peremptory NO, of the
Governor, when no less parsonage
than the President of the United
States made the request. Gov. Odell's
telegram in reply read:
"Sorry to say l cannot. Correspond.
ence requested is my own property"
To the majority of the people the
cause Of wonderment is not that the
Governor should decline with empha.
sis, but that the President should
have made such request in the dull
Get tones of an autocrat.

A Question Of Lineage.

Little Oily in alluding to the discov-
cry of an old number OF the Pacific
Tribune, Olympia's first daily, pub
lished many years ago by the Prosch's,
claims that the Olympian Though a
line of honored ancestry" traces it's
lineage to the pioneer daily. That is
all bosh, Oily. The Tribune was
moved to Tacoma by the Prosch's, in
the Cos, and it was many years after
wards that your little self saw the
light OF day. Your progenitor, If you
had one, was the Evening Oympian,
issued by the STANDARD in 1890, when
the capital contest was on. 1t was
published six months, under contract
with the property owners OF Olympia,
and il is not an undue indication of
the ego to claim that it was an exceed
ingly potent factor in securing the
overwhelming vote throughout the
ptdtc lOI pei HIdutut lOChIIoI vi tllc
capital at Olympia. The Evening
Olympian had the biggest circulation,
Geographic news service, and print.
ed half-tones OF the natural and other
attractions presented for the seat OF
government. 1t is no sacrifice OF dig
nifty to claim ancestry with the paper
published when great issue demand.
ed, and big boom justified, publica-
ton of a really meritorious daily.
There was, we believe, another Tribune
that existed q short and fitful life as
Oly's rival, and was finally absorbed
by him, but, cannot be said that that
publication contributed anything to
ancestral pride. Oily was started pri-
marily to give employment to two or
three impecunious printers, as such
ventures usually are-two of its chief
sponsors now being the principal
connubiators of the new weekly, the
Recorder-but it has evoluted into
a legitimate business proposition, and
is just beginning to realize it's ulti-
mate possibilities as daily newspaper.

ADVANCE OF THE TELEPHONE SER
vICE.-Our local telephone exchange
seems to keep pace with progress since
its introduction over the State. A
statement of exchanges OF 800 or more
subscribers, showing percentage OF tel
ephones to population of the census OF
1900, shows that last October Seattle
had 5,S73 subscribers, which was 1928
of her population; Tacoma 3,l2S sub
scribers, S.29 Of population; Spokane
1882, or 11.62 of population; Walla
Walla 500, or 7.96 Of population, and
Olympia 3l3. or 7.67 of population.
Four months afterwards, or on the
2Sth ult., the figures stood: Seattle,
1878 subscribers, a percentage OF 9O2
of listed population; Tacoma 1854, or
9.77 of population; Spokane 4,S44, or
1915 of population; Walla Walla 861,
or 81 of population, and Olympia
35l, or SEQ of population. The re-
spectivc enumeratiOns of the cities
named, under the last census, were as
follows: Seattle, SO.671; Tacoma 81.

THE author of q new comic opera
entitled "The Sultan of Sulu," has
bad some trouble in seasoning up the
polygamic habit of the high ruler of
our distant colony to make it tolerable
for q people whose governmental roof.
tree springs from ground consecrated
to the monogamic family. He finally
solved the difficulty by an absurdity
that is always admissible in comic
opera. The monarch is represented
as confronted with the possession of
eight wives and constitutional provi-
sion against polygamy. An United
States federal decision, however, is in
voked to reconcile the difficulty. It
holds that the constitution follows the
flag on three days OF the week, but on
no others, and the Sultan governs
himself accordingly. Although not
based on exact facts. the argument af-
fords q keen satire on some of the
straddle bug decisions of the highest
court.

who were to make them, and, if they
cannot be traced, new details will have
to be submitted. Very little progress
can be made until they are delivered.

manifested by red eye-lids and watery

Like scarlet fever, or measles, it is the

contagious.
