of the government is no better bestoW-
ed upon a man who left limb and al
most life behind him on the bloody
field than on the woman who lived
through months or years of agony.
But it is a well known fact that very
large number of the aged pensioners OF
the government have married of late
years, married women much younger
than themselves, who are not entitled

granted, it should terminate strictly
with the life of the pensioner, save only
in those cases where the woman who
was his wife during the actual years
of war survives him.
lions, it seems to us there is much to
be said in favor Of a service pension.
If it can be made the final act of this
government in the matter of pensions,
it will be satisfaction to the country
and to the veteran alike. 1t will ex-
tend a measure of the public gratitude

Of need. It will prevent any man who
fought for his country from becoming
an object of charity or feeling a thrill
Of fear lest poverty overtake him in his
declining days. We believe that, soon
or late, the service pension will be the
concluding act of the long and gener-
Gus care that the nation has bestowed
on its defenders.

BAD MOCCASIN LEARNED
THE WHITE MANS WAY
Sioux Indian Leaves Two Widows to
Contest His Estate.
SneciaI to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 30
Further evidence of the fact that the
Sioux Indians are not to outdone by
INSCRIPTIONS whites who take more
wives than the law allows is furnished
by a case which is pending before
County Judge Cook, of Buffalo county.
He has just commenced a hearing in
the matter of the estate of Bad Moe
casin, we'll known Sioux belonging at
Crow Creek agency, who died recently
The hearing developed an interesting
contest, and a large number Of Sioux
warriors and squaws were present,
either as witnesses or as interested
parties.
The widows of the dead warrior, in
the persons of Eva Pretty Walker and
Louisa Buck, put in an appearance,
each claiming to be the legal heir Of
the dead Indian, and lawfully entitled
to his property.
Bad Moccasin, the testimony re-
vealed, was living with the former at
the time Of his death, but the other
widow claims he was never divorced
from her. His failure to take advan-
tage of the Sioux Falls divorce court
may result in his second wife losing
the estate.
Further testimony in the case will be
taken by the county judge next Tues
day.

AFTER DREYFUS' ENEMIES.
War Minister Is Ordered to Verify Ac-

PARIS, Nov. 29.-It is affirmed that
Gen. Andre, the war minister, who
examined the Dreyfus dossier, is or
dered to verify accusations against
certain officers involved in the Drey-
fus case and the statement that two
documents which influenced greatly
the court at Rennes, before which
Dreyfus was tried, were undoubtedly
forgeries. 1t is further asserted that
number Of documents most favorable
to Dreyfus were not shown to the
Rennes court
In the event of a demand for an in

made in the chamber of deputies, the
government intends to ask for an ad-
Journment of that body until the COM
mission to which was referred the dos
sier and the petition for a revision Of
sentence shall have rendered a de-
cision. This action will be taken in or
der to prevent parliament from inter-
fering in at investigation of a purely
judicial character.

Contemporary Comment
Ls.natics at Labor.

There are going about unrestrained
in the community altogether too many
persons seeking for vengeance for real
or imaginary wrongs by violence or
threats, and that this state of things is
allowed to continue is highly discredit-
able to our civilization. To very
great extent. we are convinced, its
continuance depends on the. popular
sentiment that most lunatics are
harmless, and that all suspected per-
sons should be kept out of the asylum
until they have done something out
rageous. The loss of a precious life
has been the penalty in the instance
that has led to these reflections. Let
us hope that it will not be without
some good effect.-New York Medical

Too Many Brisands Pardoned.

VIENNA, Nov. 29.-As illustrating
the necessity for the reorganization Of
the Turkish gendarmery in Mace

states that in certain parts of three
vilayets over 80 per cent of the officers
and men of the constabulary are for
mer brigands or criminals. The no

for six years operated in the SanjaS OF

NOT PINiNe FOR 1T.

A Minneapolis newspaper has been
misled into the opinion that the peo-
pie of st. Paul want new charter.
Having read some gossip to the effect
that new charter commission would
shortly be appointed, and that action
must be taken if extensive charter
changes are to be considered, it jumps
to the conclusion that there is some
considerable volume of public opinion
over here tending In that direction.
The mistake is natural enough, but
it is a mistake none the less. If there
is an evil greater than having to live
and work under an imperfect OR de-
fective charter, 1t is a succession of
constant changes in it. Charter tin
kering for cities and constitution tin
kering for states are the favorite de-
vices Of political busybodies and ear
nest but misguided lay theorists, who
are always seeing the way to some
valuable reform if only something can
be written or unwritten in the funda-
mental law.
st. Paul has a charter Of very re-
cent date; and perhaps the only ad-
vantage which it has over that which
it superseded 1t the more rigid re-
strictions thrown about the granting
Of franchises. 1t is still lacking in
some particulars, and so would any
other charter be that human ingenuity
could frame. We can get along infinitely
better with the ills we know than to
invite those others that inhere in a
constant succession of changes, and
the adoption of provisions and regula-
lions that must be passed upon and
interpreted by the courts before we
are sure of their actual effect.
AS far as either charter conditions or
state legislation affect the limit of in
debtedness and the power to borrow,
the public wants no larger liberality
in this direction. The people are con-
sentative on this point. It is their
political representatives who find
financial restrictions irksome and are
always pressing against the boundary.
St. Paul at least should now have no
more borrowing, but should keep down
and reduce taxation by applying the
pruning knife to regular expenditures,
no matter how excellent the justifiea-
ton for them.
This is what the people want, and
the conference committee and the
common council should look to it. Our
annual budget should be made I'D by
process exactly the opposite of that
usually employed. Instead of esti-
mating the amounts required for manv
purposes separately and Jumping the
total, the total amount that the city
can, with due regard to economy, af-
ford to expend should first be fixed.
then this total could be apportioned
equitably among the several funds
Expenditures should be decided bv the
tax rate, and not the tax rate by ex-
penditure. With the application of
sound business principles to the pub
lies affairs. charter alterations would
lose their Importance AS far as The
Gl o b e is able to ascertain, the SUD-
posed sentiment in st. Paul in favor
of a new charter or even Of any ex-
tensive changes in the old one is nom
existent.
