Mr. Ware announces that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line. the high water mark having been reached year ago. Five count of the war Of the revolution, 1116 on account of the war of 1872, ABA on account of the Mexican war. The aver age annual value of each pension is now $133. The total annual value Of the Spanish war pension roll has reach ed s1,765.31O
 Commissioner Ware makes the fol- lowing recommendations: Laws for of any man convicted in court Of an infamous crime; prohibiting the giving of pensions to women who m3rry sol diers after the soldiers become old pen ing applicants for pensions.

CURRENT COMMENT
"Usly Children of Hate"

That representative Southern newspa per. the Memphis Commercial-Appe has this surprising thing to say about the election of Vardaman in Mississip pi, On 9 platform equiring the division of the school fund between the races according to the amount paid by each race:
 Mississippi has struck the first de- cisive blow at those ugly children of hate and sectional rarcGr. those amend ments to the federal constitution which degrade American citizenship and dis grace American civiliza ton. Cother states are sure to follow in the near flu ture. but Mississippi will have the honor of leading the assault"
 This comment is a new indication that the ugly child of hate, the eman- cipa tion of the black man. is having q hard row to hoe in the southern states. Still another porduct of sectional ran cor, the principle that primary educa tion should be free to all for the good of all, is also to be utterly condemned. it seems. south of Mason and Dixon 5 line
 Il is a well-recognized fact that the laborer everywhere pays mere than his share of taxes. He pays them not di- rectly, but indirectly. And before this southern paper ascribed the nction to sectional rancor, tke slcredness of the principle that the safety of the state lies in the education of the children of the poorest by the state had not been questioned. Mississippi's decisive blow" is against this principle. It means that the white people of that state are determined to relegate the negro tc enforced ignorance, unjustly and ineQuitably, in order that they may the more easily override and opprcss them.
 It is q good thing to get rid of n Illusion, even if it is d pleasant one. The freedom amendments to the con stitution represented one of the noblcst, the most sacred struggles that q great people ever made. Once it wGs hC0cd that the people of the south would rec cgnize their s2credness. It is now known that in Mississippi at least they have but one thought with regard to them and that is to nullify them. York Mail and Express.

"To Take Mathematics Easy"

The public schools of Chicago and the universities identified with that city have achieved a leading reputation for the adoption of f2ds in educational matters, SO t is not surprising to learn that President James of Northwest ern university has adopted an innova- tion'' in the teaching of mathematics. It is explained, All abstract matters are to be banished to the advanced courses, and concrete methods are to be used in most classes This means, it is announced that mathematics, which has so long been the bugaboo of large proportion of the young people in school and college, is destined to become one of the most easy subjects in the curriculum. Details are lacking, the conclusion being amplified. however that "the new method means discard
 ing all the useless problems from arith- metic and algebra and geometries; it means the concentration of attention on the most important elements in all grades of mathematical work
 Teachers and students throughout the country will greet with joyful acclaim the "disc artling of all useless problems from arithmetic and clgebra" but we guess the great difficulty will be to ar
 rive at an agreement as to what con- stitutes useless problems. The aver age schoolboy under fifteen years of a oo mill raadilv propouuca all tha Droh

The worlds first school of dentistry and its first dental society were estab- lished in America A Philadelphia den- tist pointed out this fact the other day. We get our American dentistry from France" he said. "A French dentist came here to fight for us during the revolution. and he taught all he knew about his profession to an American soldier. The soldier afterward cstab- lished in Baltimore school for den- tists-the first school in the world and it still fourishes.

In Old Missouri.

Political prophets who have figured out good chance for Joseph elk to get the democratic nomination for governor of Missouri have failed to take note Of the popularity of Missouri's ether heroes, the Hon. Cole Younger and the Hon. Frank James. We learn from the esteemed Kansas City Journal that when the Younger-James circus reach ed fne county seat of Boone county,
 t. The people turned out en masse. said MT. Hawthorne. I believe that the entire population of the county was onAthe ground. Horses were taken from the buggies in crder to get them all provided for, and the buggies were punched by running the shafts and poles over the tops of those in front With this arrangement they had fully ten acres of rigs. The greatest excite ment prevailed. The importance we at tach here (Kansas City) to the visits of presidents does not approach the en- thusiasm I witnessed over the appear ance of the two notorious Missourians.
 The Hon. Cole Younger's liberty is still by virtue of a parole only from the Minnesota penitentiary, we believe. but it may be taken for granted that the comity which prevails between sis ter commcnwealths will lead the st1te of Minnesota to restore Colonel Young CTS rights of citizenship so that he may without question be numbered in the eligible list of Missouri's aspirants for the governorship. But should Mime sota refuse to supplement the parole with a pardon. Missouri could be relied on to assert her dignity as q sovere .gn state and ignore the brutal proceedings of --he Minnesota courts whereby a noble Missourian was deprived of his liberty, the pursuit of happiness anu the rights of citizenship. Colonel Janl"s has nc, stain on his escutchecn, and being a chivalrous gentleman of ,hc old school. it is to be expected that when Colonel Younger is placed upon an equal footing with him as to the right to hold office, Colonel James will gen. erously draw straws'' with Colonel Younger, after the Missouri style, to determine which oft two shall honor the democratic party by taking the norlinatic1 tor governor.
 We have noted Governor Dockery's s refusal to be enlisted with the support CTS of MT. Folk. The great prosecutor of boodlers has won no sympathy from. MT Dockery. for as the governor ex- plains. the members of the legislature whom Folk is prosecuting confined their operations in the main to holding up corporations. The few instances in which the legislature stole from indi- viduals should not count. This, we think, entities Colonel Younger and Colonel James to expect the support of the governor for the nomina tion of one of them as Dockerys successor. During all the years that James and Younger were operating in Missouri to boom an elastic currency they confined their at tentions almost exclusively to corpora tions-banks and railroads, to be eX- act. With Dockery-James-Y Younger combination looming up before him-a combination having the solid support of the democratic politicians through init that the possibility of his nomina- ton for governor by the democratic party is not nearly as strong as it was short time ago.
