walking is better in the city because
of good sidewalks and the lift of the

reason for the shorter time required,

which the city pedestrian receives
from the excitement around him. Ev-

in European countries. They cannot
know that the estimated payment for
pensions by this government for
the coming fiscal year is more than
double the total Of all other govern
ments put together. Otherwise there
would surely be no complaint that this
republic is not sufficiently liberal to its
defenders.
Nor has the end Of this national gener-
osity been reached. Congress is still
giving pensions with a liberal hand, in
many cases to persons whose claims
go back to the early years Of the civil
war, in more numerous cases to those
whose disability is much more recent
but is presumed to be due to military
service. The people gladly contribute
to every expenditure of this kind that
is right and just. There is no popular
objection to a pension roll, however
large, that is known to be honest and
fair. There is every reason to believe
that such is its character today and 50
it should continue to be.
