District-Attorney—N.B. SPANGLER DONT BE FOOLED, Don’t be fooled. Because the Repub- licans bad a squabble at their county convention Tuesday is no reason why every Democrat should not stand firm by the Democratic ticket. No one can aflord to vote for aRepublican thinking the Democratic ticket will go through anyway. That is poor policy, and the experience gone through Iast fall should linpress upon the minds of the Democrats that after all probably this fighting among the Republicans is like tol. Spangler’s cat story: Not fighting but making more Republicans. ee AMERICAN PENSION SYSTEM, Nothing is more disgusting than the frothy declamation we hear sometimes from pension agents and pension sharks, and the knaves who work the pension business in politics, that the Republic is ungrateful in ite treatment of the veteran soldiers of the civil war There is no instance in history, ancient ar modern, sacred or profane, where there has been such profusion and lib- erality as in the American pension sys- tem. It would have bankrupted the country but for its marvelous wealth and resources. From the close of the civil war to the end of the current fis- cal year the pension disbursements from the United States treasury will have been 2545 millions of dollars, a sum very nearly as large as the maxi- mum of the National debt in 1865. Iu aldition to this outlay worthy vet erans have had the benefit of artificial limba for the disabled, preference in po- litical appointment, National and State homes, soldiers’ orphan schools and over 70,000,000 acres of bounty land There is nothing to compare in history with the liberality and generosity with which American citizens have repaid their debt to the American soldier. There is a question, however, that while in every way advautageous to thousands, the pension has been its very liberality has had a demoral- izing effect in pauperizingjother thous- ands. Nordo the pension payments end with the North. The Bouthern people, défeated and irnupoverished by the war, in addition to meeting their pro rata share of the taxation out of which pensions to Union soldiers are paid, have also generously undertaken to care for the wants of their own vet- erans, and have in operation a State pension system. It is not so liberal or extravagant as that of the United States, bul it meets the wants and ne- gray. The State is supplemented by soldiers’ homes main. tained by the States, where infirm, poor, and disabled veterans find a ref- uge in their old age. They are not so grand as the soldiers’ homes maintain- ed by the United States and are necas- sarily conducted with much greater economy. pension system ef i $4,000,000 FOR CAPITOL; $180 583 FOR ASYLUMS, Governor Stone's reduction of the appropriations made by the Legisiature to the State insane asylums is severely criticised by experts in the condition and number of the insane population of the State. The Legislature appro- priated to the flve State asylums the sum of $511,083. Of this the governor allowed only $180,583, cutting off near- ly two-thirds of the sum deemed proper by the Legislature. The condition of the inmates of some of the State asy- lums is reported to be most deplorable, The corridors at night are filled with patients, ns there are not enough beds, The Norristown asylum was built for 1,500 patients, but it has under its roof 2,128, of the indigent insane. The most earnest efforts of physicians can- not relieve the results of overcrowding, whieh is deplorable for those suffering from any phase or melancholia or in- sanity. Again and agaio the medical suthoritie« have pleaded with the Btate for larger buildings and for new buildings. The respo we is in Gover. nor Btone’s reduction of the approp- riations by the late Legislature to $180,- 500 of the $511,000 asked. At the same time he made haste to approve the new capitol appropriation of $4,000,000 official architects believe to be one million dollars in excess of the amount required to construet a building that will meet all the demands of the State, Tuesd ny for her home in Everett. —————— A ———— Bee Grant Hoover before you insure.
