PRESIDENTIAL PENSIONS

Washington, y. C., Jan. 1.-Senator
William b. Allison. of Iowa. chairman OF
the committee on appropriations, favors
action by congress looking to the care
and support OF ex-presidents of the
United states. In an interview he re-
ferred to the recent u%tterances of for
mer President Cleveland on the sub
ject and agreed with him that some
provision should be made in this direc-
ton. The matter deserved considera.
ton at the hands of congress-, he said,
and undoubtedly would receive it. In
the cast of Thomas jefferson, who died
poor. Mr.. Allison said the government
would have done well to pay his debts.
At present Mrs. Garfield is receiving an
allowance ron the government. and he
said to make provision for ex-presidents
would cause no considerable drain on
the treasury. as rarely have there been
more than two of them alive at tho
same time.
Mr.. Cleveland's view is that ex-presi-
dents are limited by popular sentiment
to only the most disnified occupations
and that the maintenance OF their posi-
! ton makes a pension almost necessary
in most cases although not in his own

There is, in fact. rather n disposition
in trade circles to look upon the re-
verse side of the picture. This is not
extraordinary. however. because ii Is
usual for the average man to be bullish
at the top and bearish at the bottom.
In addition. there is the knowledge
that trade i'm other countries is quieting
down. that a presidential election is
impending. hat readjustments of
wages and of prices are sure to fol-
low stock and money market convul-
sions, and that expenditures for all
public and private purposes are likely
to be smaller for some time to come.

be noted that some branches of the

so far has been largely %inancia or

reasonably looked for with the quiet
