ONE A MINUTE
The disability aot of 1890 placed many pensioners on the rolls. Forty-Beven per cent, of the pensioners now on the rolls were placed thereon by that aot: The Board of Revision of the Pension Oilice, which was constituted by Commissioner Lochren for the purpose of "purging the rolls," takes up one case a minute and disposes of it, rejecting nine out of every ten cases examined,
BO
at
that rate they will, when they have completed their "purging," have cut from the pension
rolls
nine-tenths of the forty-
seven per cent, which was added to the rolls by the disability pension act of 1890. That the Board of Revision disposes of one pension case a minute and purges uine out of every ten examined is an evidence of the'Democratic reform. The pension administration under the young man from Georgia, the Secretary of the Interior, has set out to reduce the pension paymente by §18,000,000, not seeking to do by any accurate examination, but by such and such a proportion in each section, each examiner being required to make up his proportion of the reduction. In other words, these reductions are made proportionately, and not necessarily by reason of any errors in the oases. It is not an administration of justice but of alleged reform that young Mr. Secretary of the Interior Smith is managing in an Administration in which"he is seeking to make record as an economist.
purchasing price which the
Government bought
Bilver
and paid for
it in legal tender treasury notes, as compared with the present market price of the white metal the nation has probably lost twelve million dollars. To say that the loss of this twelve millions is the cause of the existing depression of business, the failure of banks, the closing of factories and the general wreck of values is simply an absurdity. The repeal of the Sherman law would not restore confidence and bring a return of prosperity. The primary and potent cause of the stagnation, depression and apprehension which has settled upon the country is the dark shadow of an assured assault upon our industrial system which comes as the penalty of Democratic triumph. Here is the real change which has been wrought. The Democratic menace of overturning our protective system has checked enterprise, Bhriveled production, weakened credit and created stringency. Let the people bear this fact in mind.
Tni: attention of the Star is directed to the showing made by the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel concerning the number of changes of postmasters in Indjana since the fourth of Moroh. The exhibit is net to the disadvantage of Congressman Brookp.hire so far as industry and influence are concerned. Brookshire leads all the Indiana delegation with eighty Republican scalps dangling in hie belt, while Cooper comes next with seventy-nine, and Bretz follows with seventy-eight. The remaining districts run from sixty-six dowp to twenty. It will be seen therefore that tbe Star has been doing its Congressman a great injustice in its attacks upon him for alleged masterly inactivity. What strange times we have fallen upon that a Republican newspaper must come to the rescue of a Democratic Congressman against tLe assaults of a Democratic newspaper. THE JOURNAL'S only desire is to nee fair play.
THE Star is still firing its pBper wads at Congressman Brookshire because he does not make a change jf postmasters in this city, We apprehend that the Congressman hug done all that could be done in the matter, as doubtless he is just as anxious for a change as the Star possibly can be. The dispatches from Washington yesterday would seem to
ID
firm this view of the situation. It w.is stated that Democratic Congressmen are making a fuss because Postmaster General Bissell persists in considering the four years of service of Presidential postmasters to date from their confirmation by the Senate, and not from the date of their taking possession of their oflioee under the tempo rary commissions. On all sides the Con gressmen can be heard entering their protests against such a rule of the heavy Postmaster General.
JOHN P. ATOELD, the Anarchist Governor of Illinois, is being roasted on every hand by the newspapers for the manner in which he bestowed pardons an his brethren Berving terms in the penitentiary for murder, with here and there an exception. Among the exceptions is the Frankfort Crescent, which endeavors to excuse him on the grounds that his act was a measure of mercy. This is juBt exactly what he did not do,
He used 17,000
wordB
in an effort to
show that it was an act of justice, and went out of hiB way to most scandalously and most shamefully abuse and ex-
ooriate the officers who made the arrests, the prosecuting attorney, the j'idge of the trial court, the judges of the Supreme Court, both of the State and the United Seates, and to denounce in unmeasured terms everybody that had anything to do with their conviotion and punishment. But Atgeld is a Democrat as well as an Anarchist and the Crescent imagines it is called upon to excuse and palliate the actions of every official who has a Democratic label.
AN important omission has been made by the Democratic journals thus far this week. The announcement is overdue. And that is that Hon. John Gilbert Shankhn, the versatile editor of the Evansville Courier, will be provided for with a soft, fat position —one with a big salary and no work. Oil mast not get lost in the shuffle.
IF, as Democratic organs assert, "onehalf of the pensioners are frauds," there ought to be no difficulty in pointing them out. Pensioners are known in eyery community, and the department at Washington has its spies out now in every county of every State. Name the frauds.
O N E O W A E S O N S S O I E S A Defalcation In LouUville and Its Remarkable Sequel. "That was a queer story Henry Watterson told in his lecture about a defalcation case at Louisville," said a gentleman who heard the eloquent journalist to The Wan About Town of the St. Louis Republic. "He said that several years ago a gentleman holding a commanding commercial and social position In the Kentucky metropolis had used the funds of the corporation of which he was the trusted financial head, and when the day of accounting came he found he wus short in his accounts. The time was too brief to make the deficit good and his own funds were in such shape that he was inextricably entangled. He was an honest man, but in a moment of overconfidence had permitted himself to deviate from the narrow path just enough to use the firm's cash as a temporary loan, promising to return it at once and promptly. As is always the case, he failed to keep his promise, and the delay was dangerous—when the time came he could not Instead of waiting the inevitable diseovery, he called a meeting of the directors, made a straightforward confession, resigned his position, threw himself upon the mercy of the court, so to speak, and pledged himself to pay every dollar if he were not exposed and prosecuted.
An animated discussion followed, and a large majority were in favor of giving the delinquent a chance. Ills hitherto high standing and undoubted business ability were in his favor, not to men fcion that he might have skipped if he had desired. Two of the directors held out. They thought it would be compounding a felony, and it was an awful thing to let such a man loose upon the unsuspecting community. But they were outvoted, and the defaulter was given another chance. He is now a prosperous and wealthy business man of Louisville. Two years after his misfortune one of the two men who had objected to his release was a fugitive in Texas charged with embezzlement, and at the eud of another year the other fled to Canada to escape arrest on the same charge. In the whirligig of time this prosperous merchant, whose early misfortune these two men had endeavored to turn into disgrace and calamity, said Gol. Watterson, was the foreman of the grand jury that indicted the two fugitives. Beware the false step, continued Col. Watterson, but don't always condemn the victim without giving him the benefit of the doubt."

show Is held, says the Saturday Review, and for some time previous!^ the houses of grandees and peasants, the markets and bazars show signs of preparation for the coming event. The humblest style in which the ceremony can be performed is yet, pretty enough. The broad, strong lclaf of a plantain is bent or folded into the shape of a boat or raft. In the middle of this simple structure a tiny taper is^flxed upright. The "katong," or raft, of which this is the simplest form, is then kept ready in the house until the auspicious moment —predicted by the family priest—has arrived.
Then at this moment, when the water is slivered over by the beams of the broad rising moon, the taper is lighted and the tiny raft is launched upon the waves. Very slowly at first it makes its way along the edge of the ebbing tide then, wafted gently by the still evening air into the swifter current, it drifts further ifnd further .away until only a bright speck of light distinguishes it from the rippling surface all around. When the night is fine thousands of these little stars of light may bo seen twinkling on the broad bosom of the Mcnum, all winding thulr silent way toward the boundless sea, all boaring silent messages to departed friends who have already gone to the great unknown land.
