THE CENTRE REPORTER, rn FRED. KURTZ, CextrRE Harn, Pa, Feeruanry 9, 1887, THE LAST WAR AND THE NEXT. The New York Sun says it is about time to stop devising new ways to ex- pend millions on account of the war that ended twenty-two years ago, and to be- gin on the war that is ahead. The so-called Dependent Pension bill, now in the hands of the President for his signiture, is a humbug. Like all the wholesale pension legislation of the past few years, it is a creature of sham senti- ment and deliberate fraud, a thing which Congress lacked the manliness to strangle before it got far away from the cranks and the claim agents who gave it being. It is safe to say that this Government satisfied long ago and with unexampled liberality nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand of the just claims of the widows and orphans and disabled of the War of the Rebellion upon bounty. The Arrears of Pension act was passed eight years ago on the strength of the as- surance by its promoters that it could not possibly require in the aggregate more than $20,000,000. The total amount already paid out on account of this legis- lation is more than $200,000,000. If Mr. Cleveland signs the Dependent Pension bill, he will create a new class in the country, a class of pagper veter- ans, and the glory of the Union will expire in a grand scramble of candi- dates for the badge of mendicancy. He will also add to the annual expen- ses of Government a new fixed charge of an amount as yet undeterpin- ed, but probably from $50,000,000 to $75 - 000,000 a vear. It wou'd be a wise and patriotic act if Mr. Cleveland should veto this bill. The money which it is proposed to give away insatisfaction ofshadowy claims based urgently to of preparation for the its Cause : the last war is needed on the meet the expense next war to come.

It is ascertained the total number of men ou strike during Jaovary, 1887, was about seventy-eight thonsand against 47 200 in January, 1886, Ioas- muoch as 9000 men have struck since January 31 last, the comparison becomes 87,900 on strike since January 1, 1887, as compared with 47,200 in 1886, Ia addi. tion to this total of men ontof work, it is tobe noted that 16,300 workers in factories, mills and elsewhere are idle because of the scarcity of coal or because of lack of work caused by strikes otherg. This points to 104,000 industrial employes who have stopped work since Jaovary 1, as compared with 47.200 for a like period in 1886. There were eight strikes begno in 1886 carried over into the current year. These involved 5,000 men. Four ended, two of them saccessfaily, including 1,170 men, and two failing, involviog 830 men. Ip January there were begun over 90 strikes by 73,000 employes. Of these 32 have ended, 22 of them, involving 5,700 men, haviog failed. About 60 January strikes, therefore, remain unsettled. The 24 strikes reported for three days in Feb ruary furnish a liet of 9,900 men. None of these has been settled. THE NEXT SENATE. The Senatorial elections are now all settled, except New Jersey and West Virginia, both of which will, beyond doubt, efect Democrats. The outcome is that the Democrats gain four seats in the next Senate—one in California, one in Indiana, one in New Jersey and one in Virginia—and the Republicans gain one in Nevada. There are 42 Republicans and 34 Dem- ocrats in the present Senate. The changes, transferring three seats to the Democratic side from the Republican, will make the figures stand 39 Republi- cans and 37 Democrats. But it is be- lieved that Senator Riddleberger, of Vir- ginia, will act with the Democrats as soon as Gov. Danie! becomes his associ- ciate, and this will even up the numbers to 38 Republicans and 38 Democrats A I Ms GOOD RESU LT8 IN EVERY CABE, D. A.

Thirty-two Unknown Bodies, Wire River Juscrion, Vi, Feb. 7.—Men worked all day upon the ruins of the wrecked Montreal express which jumped pver the White River bridge in the dark. ness, but few bodies were found. The splintered cars in the rocky gorge, black. | ened and charred by fire, have not given up all their dead and the total loss of life will | not probably be known for several days. All the farm - houses within a radius of five miles are utilized as temporary hos pitals, and some of their inmates narrate new | tales of their experiences in the horror. | One of the wrecked cars sn the ice had not been overhauled at last accounts, and it was thought that at least twenty bodies were in the debris. Bhould this prove so it would run the list of killed up tooversixty, not including those which may have been carried into the river through the ice. The latest computation as to the number of persons on train places it at over 100 Thirty-two bodies remain unindentified. An agonizing incident of the disaster was the death of David Maignet, a Frenchman of Bhaungun, Canada. He and his 12.vear- old son Joseph were on their way from | Holyoke to their home. The boy sat three seats behind his father in the third car from the rear. He was dozing in his seat when he felt the car shiver. This motion was kept up for a few seconds, and then the car dashed over the bridge upon the ice 3¥ hard work the boy got out of of the car windows and at once went in search of his fathor, He discovered him by the light of the burning wreckage just him, pinned down by & part of the top of the car which had fallen directly across his chest and legs. The old man was as firmly | held as though in a vise. The boy hastened to his father's assistance and spoke words of encouragement to him. He seized his father and struggled with all his strength | to extricate him, but in vain The flames were approaching rapidly “Joseph,' said the father, “run and get an axe or a saw.” But the boy i not find either. “Pull out then.” the (father, “even | You have to break my legs to do it. “Joseph tugged away with all his might, but could not stir his father an inch.

Thinking that this was a hope. less case, they were about leave him and help others, but he begged them to try again, and to break Lis leg if necessar: They did so, and managed to get him out, breaking the leg and an arm in the effort.
