A PERVERTED SYSTEM.

The government pension system has
been perverted from its original inten.
tion as a compensation for injuries re-
ceived in the military and naval SER
vice to a wholesale distribution OF
government funds to men who were
supposed TO be rendering purely pa
trio'ic service without hope Of other
reward than their consciousness Of a
discharge OF duty. Says the New York
Mail:
In a great number OF cases-to be
exnct. in st1 ,52s cRses--it goes 20 sur
port widows Of soldiers or sailors. IN
a large number of other cases it may

very much younger than he still liv-
ing veteran, who has married him 10
get the benefit Of the pension. and who
has no claim tc the country's gener-
osity. Xxx X But there is no rea-
son Why the government should give
money for this purpose. Pensions src
properly a form Of compensation for
Injury or disabili y incurred in the
public service. They are not properly
a reward Of merit, nor is their pur-
pose in any degree the fabrication CT
the wheels Of business
The Mail overlooks main purpose
of the pension policy as It now stands

kuropatkin's Automobile.

Che Foo. Nov. 29.-General Kuropat-
kin is the possessor of a new twenty
horse power automobile, with which
he is able to rush at high speed from
one part to another of the line, twenty
five miles long, according to NJ. Ra-
voir, who reached here to-day from
Mukden.
The Chinese now regard Kuropatkin
and his machine with superstitious
awe, believing the latter to be an afro
ciously powerful specimen Of the
foreign devil" M. Ravoir said:
THE two armies lie facing each
other, each having three fortified lines.
The soldiers of both armies live
mostly in caves behind their trenches,
which, when covered with snow, have
the appearance of great host of polar
bears waiting to spring at each other.
The caves are warm, even without fire.
The Russian troops are in the best OF
spirits and have unlimited confidence
in their leaders. They expect Kuropat-
kin to attack during the winter. The
Russian forces now number 100000
men. The cavalrymen from the Don
district are superior to their Siberian
comrades. The former are intelligent,
brave and active, and have fine, pow
erful horses.

The National Live Stock Associa-
tion Is making plans to push the pass
age Of a bill now pending in Congress
looking to the taking of live stock
and agricultural census next year and
every five years thereafter. 1t is be-
lieved that with united effort this bill
may be passed during the short ses-
sion. The importance to the live stock
interests Of complete census of live
stock every few years, cannot be over
estimated. Indeed, it is actually neces-
sary. The country might to-day be
face to face with a famine and no one
be the wiser. A scarcity of stock in
any branch would mean high prices
for meat and a general disturbance of
the industry. What majority of the
people want is steady market based
upon an accurate knowledge OF the
conditions. Reliable statistics regard
ing the available supply would be in
valuable to bring about this condition
