That would be a pulling down of one of the main pil- lars of our free institutions, seman isd nn OUR Republican wags still keep mak- ing themselves laughable by giving MeKinley credit for the rise in the price of wheat. Trying to get out of a deep hole, eh ? — Providence came to the aid of the farmer with dollar wheat, in spite of the cold shoulder the man of the plow gets in the Dingley tariff.

We pay for pensions much more than any of the great powers pay for support of we shall devise will supply the deficit 80 long as the excesses of this system continue. Our pension expenditures very nearly equal all we receive from customs taxation. The probabilities are that for this fiscal year will take more than we get from the tariff. The commissioner. reports that pensions 1897, were 40,160, while for July, 1806, they were only 2,808. This is an ex- traordinary increase, and the commis- that have induced many to apply for a pension and the further fact that ap~ plicants expect better treatment under the present administration than the last one, “Many soldiers” he says, ‘felt that the Democratic administra- tion would not allow their pensions, however just they might be, and in this way thousands of applications That Demo- now.’ it.

The expectation is that the Repuolican administration will strain the law to raid the treasury. It is much easier to than to refuse one, and if the head of grant a ponsion needs now is more honest men fewer politicians, more statesmen and fewer wire pullers to wield the affairs of the state and nation. ee A pal THE Republicans don’t wish th campaign conducted upon state issues t v on account of the very bad housekeep- ing at Harrisburg the past few years. Well may they feel ashamed of it. A A THE Republican state convention met in Harrisburg yesterday to nomi- nate for State Treasurer and Auditor General.

Heretofore the people of the United States have had very little interest in that inhospitable north- western corner of North America. There are consequently very erroneous notions entertained of this Arctic pos- session. Bome idea of the size of Alas- ka may be formed when it is known that it contains an area of 577,390 square miles. This is more than twice the area of Texas. Twelve States of the size of Pennsylvania could be carved out of the Territory of Alaska, with enough left over to make a state like South Carolina, CAM tl sts A GREAT PENSION INCREASE, rs fc ons nmi The payments on account of pen- sions average regularly $12,000,000 a month, or §144,000,000 a year.
