smouldered into FIRE while the two
men slept, scantily dressed, and they
awoke almost smothered when the
burning fragments of their bed fell
upon their nearly naked bodies.
The men were burned practically
from head to foot and presented a
terrible sight with the skin falling off
their bodies when they were released.
Both were taken to the Charleston
General hospital. Little hope for
Smurlow's life is entertained, while
physicians say there may be some
chance for johnson.

A GAME OF SWAP AND SWHVDLE.

The whole tariff discussion has been
unspeakably sickening. Time was
the American people thought they
were doing man honor by sending
him to congress. If they still retain
that superstition, it is another evil
dence of the triumph of hope over
experience. From the start of the
tariff debates to their dragging finish
it was game of swap and swindle.
The first consideration has been to
get the greatest possible loot for the
for the favored interests, the next
to keep the greatest possible number
of votes in line for the complaisant
congressman; and never yet have the
interests of the people, or the plain
call of decency received official atten-
ton in the tussle. There have been
exceptions : brilliant exceptions
the most constant and brilliant of
them being Senator Gore, of Okla
hOma. But no fraud yet proposed
has lacked majority when the test
came, and no decent proposition has
been able to do better than rank as
bad second in a foredoomed race.
And the utter shamelessness of some
representatives of the interests is
appalling.

PENSIONS.

There are now 947, 70S bene6ciar-
les of the federal pension system.
This is the smallest number since the
year 1898. Less than two years ago
there were one million pensioners.
There yet remains one pensioner
on account of the Revolutionary
War. Her name is Phoebe NJ. Pal
mer, of West Edmondstown, n. j.,
and she is now IS years old, and is
the daughter of soldier in the army
of General Washington. She draws
a pension under special act of con-
gress.
1t has been but a few months past
since the second surviving pensioner
of the Revolutionary war passed
away, at age of 81 years. She was
Sarah I. Hurlbutt, daughter of a
revolutionary soldier. The last wild
ow to draw pension because of be-
ing the wife of Revolutionary sold
Ter, was Esther S. Damon. She died
in 1906. The last survivor of the
Revolutionary War was Daniel F.
Brakeman, who died in 1869, at the
age of 100 years. The last soldier
of the war of 1879 to draw pension
was Hiram CrOnk, who died in 1905,
aged los years. One of the rather
surprising features of the pension roll
is that there yet remain four hundred
and seventy-one widows of the war
of 1879, who draws pensions.
