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

STATISTICS AS TO STRIKES,
Bradsireet’s furnishes a new and fairly
accurate report (1) leading strikes begun
in 1866 and unsettled on January 1 last
2) all strikes in the United States begun
daring Jannary, 1887, and (3) strikes an~
nounced doring the first three days of
February. 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. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanoogs, Tenn., writes that he
was seriously afflicted with a cold that,
settled on his lungs; bad tried many
remedies without beoefit. Being in-
duced to try Dr King's New Discovery
for Consumption, did so and was entire-
ly enred by use of a few bottles, Since
which time he bas used it in his family
for all Cooghs and Colds with best re
sults. This is the experience of thou
sande whose lives have been saved by
this Wonderful Discovery.

Thirty-two Unknown Bodies,

wrecked Montreal express which jumped

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 |
