iNcREAEs OF PENSIONS.

Congress has decided to increase the pensions Of those who answered the call for their countrys' defense, and perhaps this includes many who never caught the whif of burnt powder, from their own rifles or those of the enemy. nor heard the singing of the deadly bullets as they went speeding past with their message of death for all they came in contact with.
 I, Is the proper spirit men should be rewarded for acts of bravery and patriotism. if they are in need, as they grow old. and their shadows commence to extend a long distance toward the east. but there are others who are Just as deserving as many of these veter- ans. especially those who never got any nearer the firing line than the -ncampment some few hundred miles distant.
 The exceptions We refer to are the old folks. an everliving presence. peo- pie who have devoted a lifetime 10 de- velopinG the resources of the country. who find they have arrived at the non producing period with nothing to show for their labor but the clothes they have on their backs. plus the many Ills and lnflrmities due to the many hard knocks and setbacks they have received in the struggle for an exist ence while combating with the steep grade of diversity.
 4 pension to the worthy old folks would be Just as great a blessing to humanity. and would meet with as popular approval of the masses as the granting Of pensions to many of our so-called veterans. especially those who have not reached the prime of life. nor seen the firing line in battle. and the only view they every had of the enemy was after the war when the respective countries were again at peace one with the other.

LOOKING FORWARD.

our old friend Camille Flammarion, having nothing to do the other day. cast the horoscope of 1000 years hence
 Within the next lo00 years the pop ulation. that of Asia from s75,0O0. 900 to lOeO. .00o 0uo. that of North and South America from 21O. O.OO0.0OO to l. 500. .a00 000. that of Africa from 75.- O0O. 900 to 200,OOO.OOO. that of Australia from 5.00O000 to 6O.O00 0OO.-the whole population thus rising from i.45O.o00,- % to 2.360 100000.
 But the part of the Frenchman's prophecy which makes the biggest hit in tnc mind of the reader Is that hu :. man slavery or domestic service will be unknown. and trained orang tangs or chimpanzees will do all mans house work for him Chemical synthesi vll have done away with all the trouble of cooking elaborate dishes. Gluttony will be unknown. and men ari women will entertain eac1 o"-ei n CopscrVatories, the banquet 'ons'"t- ing of compressed viands or dell''1cies served on silver trays. the tabloid melting In ones mouth and doing ava" with the vulgar necessity of mastica- tion. but giving nevertheless the same results. If not much superior. as far as digestion Is concerned.
 Flammarion prattles along in this happy way. He says a single money currency will prevail throughout the globe. There will be one universal merdian-that of Greenwich-and the hours will be calculated from to 24. Meterorology will become as exact a science as astronomy. and the experts of 2911 A. D. will be able to foretell the weather to almost a raindrop. a rnowfioke or a ray of sunshine.
 Forests will hace entirely disappear cd from the earth. owing to the spread If cultivation and the increase in the circulation of the newspapers

 Managing to get a quorum together by the first of April. the congress bucklcd down for business. The sixty nine electoral votes were counted and found to be all for Washington. The country at last had a president. but the country itself was threatening to fall to pieces The union was liable to collapse at any moment. Hence the congress made haste to adopt the twelve amendments 10 the constitu. tion as a guarantee of the govern ment's good faith toward the states.
 The next work of the congress was to N't'ie ttc Hiat'St VI ''ie h''iV'iea' debt. and it Is worth remembering that the difficult task was SO successfully accomplished that little change has been found necessary in our financial method from that day 10 this.

FIRST UNITED STATES CONGRESS

Now that the congress of the Cni- ted States has gotten down to work a brief outline of the first legislative body ever called together would not be out or season at this time.
 According to history the congress of the United States will be one hundred and twenty-three years old on the 4th day of next March. We read that the first congress met on that day of the month for the first time in i7s9.
 In the light of present conditions. there is something thrilling in that initial assembling of the body which was to become more than a peer of the Roman senate or the British par liament; the most august and power

 We agree with the present leaders of China when they cry: Let us have peace," but to the victors belong the spoils, and anything short Of repub- iic in China now that the rebels have passed through the throes of a deadly struggle would mean another setback m gaining their goal.
