THE PENSION OUESTION. It will devolve upon tho next Congress and tho incoming administration to take hold of the pension business of the government and stop by some means the enormous and increasing amount of money now being paid out for pensions. It, has reached figures that are alarming and some method for curtailing the amount, vsill have to be adopted. Judged from the report of the Commissioner of pensions the amount to be paid next year will reach near ?'20CUK)0.0()0. This government pays now as large a sum for pensions as I'iiigland and Germany for its standing army or Franco and Italy. It now amounts, or soon will to the sum tiff'J.DO per year for every inhabitant, old and young, of the United States. The demagogues of both political parlies who liavu been demanding, in order to securo the ex-soldfer vote, an increase of pensions every vear little dreamt of the vast amount of treasury it would require, but they cared not so long as it increased their political influence. Like cowards now ttiev are afraid to face the music ami demand that a halt be callod in the vast expenditure. But the next Congress must do it even if every member of it is politically killed. There is nf objection to a reasonable pension to the deserving and will not be. Those who from military service have incurred diseases which unfit them for business deserve well of their country. But the generosity of the government has been greatly abused. Thero are scores of men drawing pensions who havo no right to them. These should be looked aftor and their names dropped from the rolls. Again there are large numbers, sound and seemingly ablebodied men, who are receiving eutirelv too largo amounts in proportion to their services in the army. Tho present Congress. not satisfied with pensions largoly increased from those of a few years ago, at its session in July further enlarged them. Tho next Congress will be compelled to undo this work and reduce them to the former standard. The members may in this dig thoir political graves, but, it is an emergency in which public sentiment demand that they act. and they must act regardless of their own political welfare. The sentiment is moulding that tho continued increase of pensions has gone far enough and must stop. Public policy demands this whether political demagogues a pension agents think so or not.
UOST OF RUAD MAKING. Several of the delegates to the road congress in session at Indianapolis, in their observations on the subject spoke in particular of the costs heretofore expended in the construction of gravel roads and the determination that in future such things should not be. If a new system of road building is adopted, it was the sense of tho convention that tho fees of auditors, surveyors, commissioners, etc., should bo a small matter of the cost of construction, and that entirely too much had been expended that, way and not half enough on tho roads. Mr. Seller. Sonator-elect from this county, in his address to the convention, said too much of tho money went into the hands of the auditors, civil engineers etc. Tho fees paid in former years to some of these officials in this county for gravel road work- havo been outrageous, shameful and extortionate. It is said that the books will show where a former auditor of the county recoived as much as $4,000 per year for three or four years for his work in cjnnectian with the gravel roads, aside from his regular salary. A former surveyor, it i* said, recoived as high as S.'JO per day for many days for services in superintending gravel road construction. Tho Commissioners that would allow such bills should havo been driven out of the county and never have been permitted to live in it again, and tho public io to be congratulated that we have none of that ilk now. It is probable that men who are engaged hereafter in tho construction of roads in any manner whatever will earn their money—will bo paid reasonable compensation and no more.
The now Contury dictionary contains two words that are worth romembering. They aro transubstantiationalist and palatopharinggeolaryngeal. Now don't forget thom.
NATURAL GAS GIVING OUT. Thero are many indications that natural gas as an illuminamt and heater is graduly giving out in all parts of the country of Ohio. Pennsylvania and Indiana known as the "gas bolt." In several parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio where for eight or ten years past natural gas was used for domestic and manufacturing purposes the public has had to return to tho uso of coal, tho gas having
entirely
ceased to flow. In this
State, at Muncio, Anderson and other places many gas wells have been abandoned because the pressure of gas which was from 300 to 350 pounds to the inch has failed entirely. At Fort Wayne and Logansport, both of which places have had gas piped to them, tho companies havo notified tho proprietors of sevoral manufacturing houses that they must look elsewhere for their supply, the companies being unable to furnish them. In five years from now judging from tho vast amount now flowing from bolow and the continued lessening of the supply, few towns will be using natural gas. New agencies for creating heat and power will soon bo in use, and elec tricitv may play an important part. What the new quality of gas made from oil and other ingredients may amount to is yet to be demonstrated, but that natural gas will soon have had its Jay is plainly to be seen.
STARK'S BE VENUE.
An unbridled tongue frequently gets a man deep into difficulties. James Stark, of Clark township, in his quarrel with. Emma Conti"r. of national flag notoriety, is an instance of this, llo conceived a hatred of Miss Conner resulting originally from the "No. !I school house" troubles, anil seems to have determined on doing hi ail the injury possible, defenseless woman as she was. Wis actions in the matter are known to the public through a trial for slander brought airainst him tho Putnam CircL.it court by Miss Conner. A jury of 1*2 men unknown to both parties after hearing the evidence awarded the plaintiff a judgment of 81.000 last week.
Revenge may be sweet but it most, times depends in what manner one goes about to obtain it. Stark received tho hot end of the poker in this matter and upon reflection no doubt wishes ho had jet go long since. Besides the costs which he must pay, he is put to a great deal of trouble added to mental anguishBefore starting out on a journey of re vengo it is always best to count in advance the probablo difficulties to be encountered on tho way. If this is done the trip niav b" abandoned.

"UILLsT
From indications it would seem that every member of the incoming legislature expected to introduce from a dozen to a half hundred bills at the session" iu January upon almost every subject and expected them to become laws. There is where tho time anil money is squandered, absolutely thrown away iu introducing too many bills, and aiming to havo too many laws enacted at every session of our State legislature. There are too many laws a3 it is—too many that amount to nothing and aro not needed—yet every member, in tho interest of his constituents ho imagines, considers it necessary to introduce some bill or other, regardless of its importance or benefit. In consequence business is impeded and tho session drags. Of the 500 or 600 bills that will be introduced at the next session of tho legislature not a third of them will become laws. It is not necessary that they should as they aro not at all needed. There is a general disgust at tho close of a session of the legislature, at tho littlo it has done and tho valuable time it has frittered away, and the next session will be perhaps, no exception, judged by the avalanche of bills to be introduced.
THeTTeaiTgotjld:
Aside from an illustration of what •nergy may do there is littlo in the careor of Jay Gould that is worthy of emulation by the young men of succeed ing generations, -lie obtained an immense fortune within a period of 25 years, yet, his methods pursued were vicious, tyranical and totally eliminated from any human influences. He was strictly a gambler, not with cards but with stocks,and is entitled to no more re spect than gamblers of every kind usually arc. His monoy did not make him nor entitlo him to any more respect nor standing in society, than is given the card player, tha bettor on horse races, or oth^r kindred pursuits, Money often wins respect but Jay Gould's did not create for him any laree amount among the reflecting portion of tho public, and his going has created no disaster in financial centers, nor his memorv one in particular to be revered.
THIS is tho Hon. William C. Whitney's idea as to the significance of tho recent landslide: "It haB been a fight for conservatism and for property, in my opinion. If the Republican party had succeeded in retaining power, and had gone on screwing things down tighter and tighter on tho consumers of this country iu tho interest of a fow people, as they would have done, wo would havo had in another four years a revolution in our laws that would have destroyed protected interests right and left. Revolutions aro ruthless. Now we shall start on tho right road carefully and with due regard to others, and damage nobody."
THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. Tho Sons of Veterans at the camp meeting last night unanimously passed the resolution that was rejected by McPherson Post demauding that the figures "1846 1848" should be erased from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument that it might stand in fact in "memory of the soldiers and sailors who served in tho Union army during the war of the rebellion." The Sons understood better than some of thoir sires the lessons that a monument isintended to teach.—Journal.
According to this the men who fought and died in the war with Mexico havo no right to havo their deeds commemorated by a few figures on the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument of Indianapolis, and for which the State of Indiana pays $400,000. The war of 1S4G-8, which at its successful termination gave to this country upper California and Now Mexico, with tho vast natural wealth of these two countries, must not be perpetuated upon this monument. We do not believe that Gens. Wallace, Mauson, Judge Harney, Loren Miller, D. F. McClure and a dozen or more of tho old guard from this county in the Mexican war will agree with the Sons of Veterans 'or the Journal that the years representing that war should be obliterated from the Soldiers' monument.
OUR 01TY MANAGEMENT. If the Review can point to a city under democratic control whore affairs are better managed or where the taxes are lower tlior^ might be some force in its demands.—Journal.
We know little or nothing about the management of the government in other cities. It is enough to know about our own. Tho Journal certainly cannot iu reason approvo of the electrical light business as originated and carried through up to this time by a republican council. It was represented that it would cost the city but. a trifie over830. 000 and be self sustaining. This, as has since beon proven, a monstrous deception. Tho plant has cost about $70,000 thus far and is not anywhere near Belt-sustaining, but through it the city has'already had to borrow money to pay elf current indebtedness. All this is republican management. Some how or other the Journal has always handled the electric light business very tenderly. It may be it was afraid it would shock its republican readers.
THE ROAD CONGRESS.
A convention or congress, the namo matters little, coin posed of business men from all parts of the Suite met at Indianapolis last week to talk about roads, and how to better them. Opinions were various regarding roads, yet this gathering may bo the means of doing much good on the road quest'on hereafter. There is no politics in this, and as tho public is running short on political issues the void may be filled by road questions.
Bv the will of Jay Gould no church, society, educational ov benevolent institution is left a cent. The world in general cared little for him and his
(feelings
toward it were the same. Tho entire fortune consisting of real estate, railroad stocks and bonds, aggregating in value near 875,000,000 emaitis to his six children, a brother and three sisters.
Califounia's plurality for Cleveland is about 150. Tljough small it is better than defeat, and by caroful handling tho democracy may keep hereafter tho Golden St«te within tho democratic column.
Keen at Lebanon.
Speaking of Ed Keen, the man whom Supt. Zook captured for selling examination questions, the Lebanon Pioneer says: "Keen and hfs wife tnado their headquarters in Lebanon during the summer, boarding first at tho Perkins house and afterwards at the Rose house, leaving an unpaid bill of about 85 at tho latter place, which his brother. W. R. Keen, who is teaching in Harrison township has assumed. Mrs. Keen is a handsome woman and made many friends whilo hero. Keen, during his stay at tho Perkins house, unfolded his plan to Charley Stephenson, the clerk, and invitod him to take hand in tho scheme assuring him that thero was great money in it. He told Stephenson that ho had arrangements to get the questions at Indianapolis, and that there was not the least danger in working it."
Death of Mrs. George Jones, Mrs. Emily Jones, wife of George Jones, died at tho family residence in Fiskevilje last Friday night ot consumption at the ago of 65 years. The funeral occurred Sunday morniug at!) o'clock. Rev. L. P. Fuson officiating. Interment at Oak Hill.
