THE PENSION HABIT.

Philadelphia Record: Pension
claims on account of fancied ills re-
sulting from Spanish-American war
service continue to- cumber the files
OF the pension bureau. In some of the
regiments every man who had an ache
or pain seems to have concluded that
nothing but a broad pension plaster
could salve his hurts. One regiment
from Massachusetts, and another from
Ohio, neither of which saw a day of
active service, head the lists at the
bureau with 705 applications each. A
District of Columbia regiment fur
nishes nearly 500 applicants, although
it did no fighting. The Seventh Unit
ed States regulars, who fought at San
tiago and lost thirty-three killed and
ninety-nine wounded, has 542 app!i-
cants. 1t may be taken for granted
that in most instances medical ex-
animation will show that no valid
claims for pensions exist, yet the trick
of application is easily learned, and
there is no telling when a claim per-
sisted in may be transformed by some
legislative hocus.pocus into a vested
right.

THE VACATION HABIT.

Chicago Tribune: Not many years
ago if a man who could not number
himself among the great ones Of the
earth fell into the habit of taking va
cations he was likely to be regarded
as either a trif1er or a valetudinarian,
Now almost everybody has his few
days off at some time during the year.
People have begun to believe that all
work and no play has the same effect
upon a nation as upon an individual.
The best interests of the country de-
mand shorter hours and longer yaca.
tions.
1t is not difficult to understand why
there should have been such a growth
ct sentiment in this matter. Not only
have more people come to be able to
afford vacations, but the character of
modern life has made vacations al
most inevitable. One cannot keep
pace with the city all the year round.
After travelling under high pressure
for IL months, one needs to travel
under low pressure for the 18th. One
overdoes and then r~ecuperates. It
may be that this is not a judicious
mode of life. One can think of OBJ
jections to it. All objections break
down, however, before the impact of
business necessity. No matter how
much a man may rebel against it,
ne ends by falling in with his fell
lows and keeping up with the process
sion. Then about the 18th of July he
drags himself off to a shady tree and
tells himself that he will never again
get himself so near prostra.
ton.
For these two reasons, therefore
greater necessity and greater oppor-
tunity- the vacation habit has be-
come established. 1t has further be.
come established that the vacation
shall occur in summer. To cur fore
fathers, who lived when the country
almost totally agricultural, this
would have seemed midsummer mad
ness. One needed the summer then
for work. The winter was the time
for whatever play was possible. To.
day the case is altered for a large part
of our population. Winter means
steady grinding. Summer means a
little relaxation.

THE BILLINGS

anent the proposed change Of uniform
Of the army. The blue, which for
years has been the color Of the cloth
ing worn by the fighting men of the
nation, has become so identified with
the glorious history of our army that
seems to many to be little short of
sacrilege. 1t may not be the showiest
color in the world, but. such a wealth
Of sentiment attaches to it that moth
ing can eve take the place of it, and
the "boys in blue' has become synon-
ymous of everything that is brave,
v%alorous and dashing. The phrase has
become enshrined in the memory of
all lovers of the country and per-
petuated in song and story. It has
furnished theme for the poet and been
the inspiration of the artist. The
other color may be more beautiful,
more serviceable and better adapted
in every way, but the people of the
nation will be sorry to see the blue
discarded as the distinctive color of
the men who fight their battles on
Land and sea.
Let the trimmings, pipings and fac
ings be what they will, but keep for
us always the gallant blue, the en-
blem OF constancy and devotion, vir-
tues that have ever found their high

1t is all very we'll to speak about
the lack OF harmony in the democratic
party and use the dissention as a.
basis upon which to predicate repub-
llcan success in the forthcoming cor
gr%essional campaign and in the. na-
tional campaign two years hence, bnt
it should not be allowed to lull the re-
publicans into a sense of security so
great as to prompt them to Inactivity
and to take it for granted that they
cannot lose. Somehow, whenever the
democrats are wrangling the most
among themselves they always seem
to- fight their common enemy the hard.
est and it is when they are supposedly
totally disorganized and disrupted that
they show the most surprising
strength. The present instance may
prove no exception to the rule. While
it is we'll enough to calculate upon
the internal dissention which is a
marked feature Of the democratic
party just now as an element Ct
strength for the republicans, the lat
ter should not be too sure, neither
should they relax in the least the az.
gressive fight which the leaders plan.
1t is only by hard and persistent fight
ing that political as we'll as other cam
paigns are won. All the argument is
on the side of the republicans and
they should use it with every effect
and power at their command.

PAYING BY

When the power of injunction can
be used by losing spectators on stock
ana grain exchanges to pay the debts
they have incurred by a turn of the
market it would seem that there is
practically no limit to the use to
which that process of the courts may
be put. The element Of chance seems
to be removed in all deals hitherto
considered mere Dr. less risky. Men
may plunge into the whirl and excite
ment of change" and do so without
doubt or ~misgivings as to the out
come. If the market goes against
them and they feel i%ndisposed to- pay
the loses thereby, sustained all they
have to do is to appeal to the courts,
secure an injunction and laugh at the
men who expected to be the gamers
by their misfortune. 1t reduces p
ulation on the different boards to a
mere pastime, a play in which there
are no risks and, unless the other
fellow also goes to law, in which only
pronts need be reckoned on. Being
a short" has been robbed of it's ter
0 to the men who follow the mark
cts for a livelihood and the fellow who
is "long' has not one whit the better
of the one who has been caught in q
squeeze. .,
But the innovation is probably
bound to work a radical change in the
method of specializing in staples and
stocks and the men who make a bus
mess of it will no doubt see to it that
those giving way to the temptation to
take a flyer" in any of the markets
will be compelled to do so in a manner
in which they cannot appeal to the
courts for relief when they get caught
on the under side.

AN OUTRAGEOUS POLICY.

New York Times: 1t may be there
is no way of reaching the coal presi-
dents and impressing them with a
sense of their public duty, but the
obligation devolves upon all independ-
ent newspapers to denounce their pol
icy as an outrage upon the rights of
the coal-consuming public. If the
state Of Pennsylvania does not see to
it that such a crime against the pub
lie welfare is not again committed it
will be derelict in it's duty to it's own
people and to the sisterhood of states.
