owl SERVICE PENSIONERS.

Just when the country is hoping
that the pension list viii begin 20
decrease Mr. Ware, the Commissions
I Of Pensions. comes forward with a rec
/ ommendation in his annual rerort
that so clerks in his bureau who are
/ no longer fit for service be Densioued
and retired.
OF course the pensioning Of these
clerks would be but the beginning Of
q civil pension list II COMMISSIONS
Wares recommendation were adopted
il would not be many years before
there would be thousands Of pensioners
on the civil pension list. ana the. pen
sion burden would steadily grow heav-
ier. notwithstanding the passing Of the
veterans.
II is doubtful if the recommendation
OF Commissioner Ware VIII meet aita
the approval Of Congress. certainly not
on the eve Of d presidential campaign.
And there is no good reason why gov
ernment employees should be pensioned.
The great majority q them are paid
more than they could earn outside Of
government employment. The fact
must be taken into account that they
are not asked TO accept employment
under the government. and they are
at liberty at any time to leave the
governments service. II they do not
save anything from their earnings for
a rainy day il is because they want to
live as literally as those who have
larger incomes.
It really begins TO look as II we We're
entering upon a period Of pensions. 4
proposition was made at the conven-
ton Of the American Federation Of
Labor in New Orleans the other day
that wage-worlers be pensi0ned after
they had reached sixty years of age,
and there have been movements in
both Chicago and New York to pension
school teachers If the growing public
sentiraent in respect TO pensions should
bear fruit it would not be many years
before the pension burden would tax
heavily the earning power Of the
young and healthy.
What government employees should
90 is this: They should provide a fund
for the care Of those of their number
who become incapacitated for work on
account OF Illness or age. The most Of
them are too improyident, however to
do anything of the kind Besides, they
do not feel absolutely sure OF their
places and they don't like to tax them
aalve.e for "a f,~d from which tbevr ,7ar.
never get any benefit. They prefer that
other people should be taxed for their
benefit.

an EIephant's GnIIantry.

Bessie Brennan, of Thirty second
street and Haverford avenue, is the
first person 10 whom savage old Boi-
var the large Zoo elephant, has ever
shown gallantry. says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Miss Brennan was admiring
Bolvar's huge body yesterday and
feeding him with pea nuts. She leaned
toe far over the rail and her new win
ter HAT dropped off. Bolivar picked it
up and lifted it nigh in the air. while
Miss Brennan and her girl friends
screamed ut the thought of Bolivar
swallowing the stylish headgear. Boil
war. however. lowered his trunk and
Miss Brennan resolutely reached for
her hat, Give it here!' she demanded,

everybody, gave it" Nobody was

a RIVALRY THAT HELPS PITTS
HIKG


1t is well known Of course that An
drew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick
are bitter enemies. At one time they
were partners. Their hostility to each
other grew out Of the efforts of Mr..
Frick to acquire Mr. Carnegies inter-
est in the Carnegie Steel Works. Mr..
Frick and others gave Mr. Carnegie
$1,000, 900 for an option on the Carnegie
steel mills at the price OF 5000 900 009
The option expired before MIR. Prick
was able TO raise the money It was
thought by many that Mr.. Carnegie,
owing to the fact that he and Mr.. Friel<
had been partners, would not keep the
sl000,O0O but he did. Mr. Carnegie
afterwards sold out for $500 600, 900. .
Ever since that time the two men have
been bitter enemies.
Recently Mr.. Carnegie announced his
purpose to give to the city Of Pittsburg
a Polytechnic Institute, on condition
that the city would give the site and
provide for its support. Last Sunday
one of the closest friends of Mr.. Frick
made the following announcement:
Henry Clay Frick, the former steel
magnate. win give the city Of Pitts
burg a great university that viii make
the much talked of Polytechnic School
Of Andrew Carnegie look like thirty
cents"
1t seems that the Frck University Is
to be a spite university. Mr. Frick
wants to make Mr.. Carnegie look small
in the eyes of the people of Pittsburg.
He proposes TO spend millions of dol
lars to outdo his former partner. There
is in Pittsburg a great Office building
which was erected by Mr.. Carnegie. II
is a sort of monument to him. Lately
Mr., Frick has put up an Office building
which makes Mr.. Carnegie's building
look small. And now he is going 10
overshadow the Carnegie Polytechnic
School.
These rich men could not spend their
money to better advantage than tc
erect and endow educational institu-
tions. But if they are erecting them
out of spite they are not getting much
pleasure out of their money, though
the public may be getting great bene-
fits from it..

The world has long acknowledged
Sir Tommy Lipton's persistepcy,. and
perhaps the mans good memory Is
merely another phase of the, same ad-
mirable characteristic. says an ex-
change. There is at least one of the
Englishman.s many American friends
VINO has cause to realize it.
When Sir Thomas was last here he
was one afternCont interviewed on the
deck Of the Erin by a group of repor-
ters representing a score of the great
er Dapers in the East. The talk had
hardly begun, however. when the
yachtsman excused himself for a mo-
ment and disappeared below, only to
come up an instant later with photo
graph Of himself in his hand. He
handed it to one Of the newspaper
workers with the remark:
Il promised YOU that when I was
mere two years ago and came very near
forgetting it. Better late than never"
And as the photograph was passed
around, Sir Thomas face beamed with
the delight Of having given pleasure
simply by having shown that he re-
membered his friends and his promises.

RorTEN P0IETIcs

Was rotten politics at the bottom Of
the Fitzgerald tragedy in Qua
temala2 That is what one Of the lead
ing Republican papers charges. And
there appears to be some foundation
for the charge. It is a fact that there
have been scandals connected with the
Hunters. father and son, ever SINCE
Godfrey Hunter was appointed minis
ter to Guatemala.
There We're charges against Minister
Hunter and charges against his SON,
the man who shot Fitzgerald. The
State Department knew. all about them
from various sources. Nevertheless
for some reason or other Mr Hunter
was permitted TO retain the place of
minister OF this country in Guatemala.
If he had been removed when il be-
came evident that he was no longer a
fit person to represent the government,
there would have been no such scan
dal as that which casts a shadow over
the American Legation in Guatemala.
And it is impossible to learn from
the dispatches whether or not Godfrey
Hunter, Jr., win be punished for the
shooting of Fitzgerald. who, by the
way, was an American, an ADVENTURE
in the employ Of the government of
Guatemala. One dispatch says that the
United States viii not interfere if the
government Of Guatemala decides to
enter the legation ana arrest Hunter,
and puts him on trial for murder. An.
other dispatch says that the United
States have given Minister Hunter as
surances that his son shall have a safe
passage to the United States 1t is
therefore a matter OF doubt whether
young Hunter will ever be punished
for the crime.
He cannot be tried for the crime in
this country. That being the case, if
he gets to the United States it is GER
tain that he viii never be called to
account for it.
No doubt there is very general
feeling of satisfaction that Minister
Hunters career in Guatemala is at On
end. His successor has been appointed
and is now on his way to his post of
duty.

A Chicago judge has before him q
case that is absolutely unique Some
days ago a citizen Of that town coughed
up from the deep recesses of his in
ternal economy lizard. As the lizard
leaped to freedom and the outer
atmosphere. its former landlord
promptly tainted While he was un-
conscious a fellow workman spied the
lizard making for the tail grass and
captured and killed it. Upon recover
ing consciousness the incubator of the
lizard claimed to be the owner OF
his erstWshiie tenant and demanded
that il be handed over to him, The
other man objected, claiming that he
had captured and killed the reptile in
fair chase; that the lizard was "ferae-
naturae" once it had struck the ground
and headed for the grass, and that hav-
ing killed it the property rights were
vested in him and him alone. Having
the lizard in his possession, ana know
ing possession to be nine points OF the
law the second man carried it off
and preserved il in alcohol Finding
persuasion useless. the first man mas
brought suit ia the court to compel
the return 70 him OF "his" lizard. or
failing ia that TO recover 500 dan-
ages. I'll is easy TO see, from this brief
summary Of the case, that fine point

At Coudersport, Pa, the other day
william Garnee purchased a wife at
the price of one mule and seven BUSH
els OF turnips. The father Of the bride
conducted the negotiations and re-
celved the valuable consideration in
question. Some of the New York news
papers are disposed to poke fun and
criticism at the transaction. But in
principle, wherein does It differ from
the purchase Of titled husbands for
New York heiresses? In one case a
poor father sells his daughter for a
mule aud some bushels Of turnips; In
the other the rich Sther buys a titled
husband for his daughter at the cost Of
some millions Of dallars. Il is mat
Ter of bargain and sale either way, And
more likely than not the Pennsylyania
man who gave turnips for his wife win
make "a better husband than many Of
fhc Titled foreigners who have sold
themselves for American gold.

Leroy Templeton, one of the greatest
cattle-raisers of Indiana, says the. cat
tie business is being ruined by the beef
trust. and that he has been compelled
to cut down his operations fully one
half during the past few years. He is
now raising fewer cattle than for ten
years. "They tell u.s." says Mr.. Tenn
pletion, that the present contemplat-
ed combination Of the packers will
finally work out for Benefit of the
people. We had just as well think of
a combination of wolves in a forest in
the interest of the sheep industry"
The illustration is an apt one.

DoGs AND SHEEP.

The New York Journal of Commerce
comments at considerable length on an
article in the Charleston News and
Courier. in which the statement is
made that popular sentiment in South
Carolina prefers dogs to sheep. The
News and Courier has been trying for
years to get a law passed by the Leg
islature of that state taxing dogs of
practically no value out of existence
the dogs that kill Sheppard it has
not been successful, Public sentiment
on this subject in South Carolina is
much like the sentiment on the same
subject in Georgia. Once. Georgia
did put a heavy tax on dogs in the in
terest of sheep raising, but repealed it
at the very next session. On their re-
turn home the legislators found the
law was not popular.
or course the sheep industry cannot
prosper with a lot of sheep-klling
dogs running at large. Not so very
many years ago there We're great
fiocks of sheep in this state. There
are very few sheep now. The dogs
have swept the state almost clean OF
them. They nave been as remorseless
in respect TO the sheep in Georgia as
the hunters of the West have been in
respect TO the buffalo Of the plains
Sheep raising would pay IN this state,
and pay well. There are millions Of
acres of cheap lands on which is
groEn q fair quality of grass, on such
land sheep could be raised at very
small cost As long, however ms tho
average Georgia legislator is afraid of
the owner of the 'yaller' dog the
