THE T0CsIN SOUNDS.
Struggle Will BE Fiercer Than
1860, which Brought War.

From the Newark Star
The political struggle in the United
States this year will be fiercer and at
the same time more mixed than in any
campaign since the memorable one in
ls60. which was followed by the great
civil war. The two old parties are now
afield with presidential candidates and
platforms, the Socialists have nominated
and are in a stronger position than in
former national campaigns because OF
successes in last years State elections,
and the Progressive Republicans will
soon nominate Roosevelt on a Roosevelt
platform. 1t ia by no means improbabl BILE
that yet another new party organiZa-
ton will be formed to further diversity
the national contest. But the great
battle will be waged between the con-
sentative and the progressive forces of
the country, and the clash OF the con-
flict will be heard in every corner OF the
land. There are many people immersed
in their own affairs who have paid in
different heed to the conflict thus far
hut before the IGes OF November every
man and woman in the United States
will be a political partisan.

The Columbia.

An attraction OF the first magnitude
is announced by the management OF the
Columbia Theater for next week. when
the Columbia Players will be presented
in Frances Aymar Matthews Pretty
Peggy" which will be produced here by
special arrangement with the owner Of
the play. Arthur c. Aston. Pretty
Peggy has met with universal success
wherever presented. and while the story
Is not absolutely new, II has been treated
in a distinct manner by the author.
The play opens with a scene in an old
time circus tent. and the action takes
one through the theater OF a century
back and shows behind the scenes the
love making. the jealousies, and all other
human emotions life has contained since
the Garden of Eden. The mob scene OF
the last act. when the velvet clad and
white wigged multitude rushes down the
aisles of the theater shouting and hiss
ing their disapproval of the scene on the
stage, is sensational enough TO satisfy
the most chronic craver for novelty.

TWO PENSION views.
Minority and Majority Reports Sub
mitted to Senate.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The majority
and minority reports on the Smoot
general pension bill have been pre-
sented in the senate. Senator Nc
Cumber, for the majority, reported
that the Smoot bill would carry an
average annual increase of $1O6.50 for
each pensioner and for the first five
years of its operations it would cost
the government respectively $4,000
600, $S6,5O0,00O (Which would carry
the arrears), 59,0OO,O00, $54, $1,000.
S5O,Oo0,OOO and $50, 1000.
The minority report, signed by SEN
ators Curtis, Brown, Shively, Poin-
dexter and Johnson. favored the Sher-
wood bill on the ground that it would
give to a large number of soldiers
dollar a day. while the Smoot bill
would give a dollar a day only to those
who had served three years or more
and were % years old.
