THE soldier of the war of the rebel
lion is passing rapidly and the next
few years will show a marked decrease
in the number of the boys in blue
carried on Uncle Sans pension roll
of honor. For the first time in the
history Of the department the annual
report of the pension commissioners
shows net decrease in the number
on the rolls. The report is for the
year ending June 80, 1904, and it
shows that Al, 374 persons were added
to the rolls and 40, 157 dropped. Of
the number dropped from the rolls
death claimed 1890 of whom 81, 728
were soldiers, 30,071 being veterans of
the civil war. The report refers to
the order making age an evidence of
disability and shows that all the critic
ism of the administration by the dem
ocrats because of the order was I'M
deserved, as only six per cent of the
appropriation of 81, 100000 made to
pay claimants under the age disability
order was used, the balance being
turned back into the treasury.

SOME of the lawyers can afford to
look with equaninity on the scandals
which pursue the present adninistra-
ton. If the present ratio keeps up
the whole administration outfit will
be involved in expensive litigation
before long, and the attorneys in the
cases will reap harvest. State
Treasurer Kempf is the latest to be-
come involved in the courts. Through
his attorney he has asked for an in
junction restraining the La Toilette
state central committee from filling
his place on the La Toilette ticket,
alleging that his resignation was OBJ
tanned by intimidation. 1t would not
be altogether bad thing for the state
if the case was fought to a finish.
The people are entitled to know some
thing of the mysterious doings in the
treasurer's Office, and it begins to look
as if the only way they can get any
accurate knowledge of the methods
of the Office is by having a court take
the evidence in this case. If the facts
are once placed before the people
they are entirely competent to pass
Judgment upon any offenders and to
fix the possibility.

AN alarm has been sounded by the
New York World on the Democratic
outlook in the State of New York. In
substance it is that while the Repub-
leans are thoroughly organized, the
Democrats have done nothing. This
is true, but it is only part of the truth.
The Democrats are not only not or
ganized but in the city of New York
where the votes must come from to
give them a majority, if they are to
have one, the Democratic leaders are
fighting each other rather than the
Republicans. The row between Nc
Carren and Murphy is growing fercer
daily, with no prospect of settle
ment. The Parker managers begin to
see that 'EDave" Hill let them into a
bad hole when he formed an alliance
with McCarren against Murphy. He
did this in order to secure Parker
delegation to the National Convention.
In order to get McCarren's support he
had to promise him the Craftsmanship
of the Executive Committee of the
Democratic State Committee.
Advices from the State at large all
agree in saying that the Republicans
are united and confident. Charles M.
Pepper, the well known travelling
newspaper correspondent, who is an
observer merely and not partisan,
has just finished a tour of the State.
He found few so-ca1led gold Demo
Gratis for Parker who had not returned
to the party four years ago. He re-
ports less enthusiasm for Parker than
he found for Bryan in the campaign
of 1896, and thinks that the present
outlook is IN favor of the State going
Republican. This accounts for the
Democratic alarm and for the offer of
large sums Of money in Wall street
even on Roosevelt carrying the State,
with no takers.

AN exchange ventures to hope that
when the bugo1ogists of the Agricu1t-
ura1 department have succeeded in
finding an exterminator for all the
scales, insects, pests and weevi1s
with high-sounding titles, they will
turn their attention to hunting a
''grim destroyer" of the p1ebeian po-
tato bug, "who likes prussic acid and
thrives on paris green" And it
wouldn't be half bad scheme, either,
when you come to think of it.

THE strikers have lost nearly two
millions in wages in the packing
house strike, but what the public is
really interested in is the amount the
packers themselves have lost, for that
is the pub1ic's share of the expense.
The men will never make up their
wages but the public will pay the
packers every dollar of their loss with
interest added in the increased price
of meat.

MISS RUNALS PLEASES.
Large Crowd Listens to Interpretation
of COnnor's Stories.

After many months of absence Miss
Charlie Runa1s appeared before a
home audience at the Guild hall on
Friday night under the auspices of
the ladies of the Unitarian church,
and presented a splendid interpreta-
ton of ''The Sky Pilot and 'sB1ack
Rock" by Ralph Conner. The work of
Miss Runals was simply perfect, and
the large audience showed their ap-
probation by p1entious applause.
Miss .Runals has greatly improved
in her work since her last appearance
in Kenosha, and she is now certainly
worthy of the best p1andits of her
home city. The entertainment was a
financial success.

IL was quite apparent from, the time
OF his entering Rutgers that he was
impressed favorably with the demo-
cratic, rough and ready ways of Amer
lean students. He was a good natured
young man and very quickly made
friends with his fellow students.

of the report rejecting on congress
men is apparently a case of the wish
being father of the thought. Con-
r~essmen who desire this evidence of
,indication are quite numerous, but
the sentiment does not find sympathy
at the White House and it is safe to
predict that neither the postmaster
general nor his assistant will resign
until President Roosevelt makes the
suggestion.
It is recognized at the White House
and at the capitol that the publication
Of the report was monumental polit
ical blunder. but the president is not
disposed to put the blame entirely or
even largely on Payne or Bristow
The information in the report was
demanded of the department by the
house committee on postoffices and
it was not known it would go outside
the walls of the committee rooms.
Both the republican and democratic
members and the chairman of the
committee took the responsibility Of
having it printed and circulated. It's
effect was a surprise.
The president feels that it would be
adding one bunder to another to pun
ish Payne CT BristoW for the Jealous
performance of their task and either
action would result in discrediting the
entire postoffice inquiry which already
has been SO heartily commended by the
president.
Congress has decided to appoint an
investigating committee, and the de-
mand for these officials removal will
naturally have TO wait until the result
Of the investigation is made known.
An additional reason for hesitating
20 take such a course is found in the
fact that Mr.. Payne has already an
nounced his purpose to resign at the
end of this administration. which is
only a few months off. and he is at
present a sick man. and has not had
any personal knowledge of the events
leading up to the blunder.
The demand for BristoW's official
scalp is very bitter and while the pres
| dent vii! be slow to desert a man
whom he considers honest and faithful
It would be difficult to stand against

| from republicans as well as democrats
, and leaders as well as small fry"

Miss Minnie Reader. a chorus singer in

Graves, is the guilty man, and that he

Lived In Fear Of Violence.
Mrs. Graves death. according to the
report of the coroner's jury. was the
result of a murder most foul. Evidence
in the case against the husband is
purely circumstantial. Graves was ar
rested year ago for striking his
wife and was fined 800. Later Mrs.
Graves brought suit through her law
yers for divorce. The case had not
yet been called in court when Graves
succeeded in conciliating his wife and
the action was withdrawn.
Later Mrs. Graves appeared before
Judge Howe and stated that she had
been threatened with personal vio-
lence. She testified in an application
for an injunction to restrain Graves
from coming to her apartments; that
Graves had threatened to burn her
house over her head. and that she fear
ed she would be murdered any mo-
ment.

Curious Petticoat Test.

Two well known aristocratic wo-
men from Vienna, staying at EVAN
les Bains, had an argument as to
whether or no a woman who fell
into the water in full walking Co.'S
tune would be aided or impeded by
her clothes, writes the London Ex-
press Geneva correspondent. Argu-
ment soon led to dispute and dis
pute to wager, with the result that
thu two ladies in smart summer
frocks, lace petticoats and picture
hats jumped straightway into the
water to test their opinions. The
onlookers, thinking that they were
witnessing a double suicide, dashed
of IN boats to the rescue. The wo-
men, however, declined assistance
until they had pluckily swum . con-
adorable distance and were almost
drowned by their clinging garments.
They both agreed after reaching
the shore that skirts are not con-
ducive to easy swimming while cor
Gets are an impediment.
