FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1893.
THE New York Sun demands the repeal of the McKinley act, bat pays it a deserved compliment when it says, "It is the most carefully studied and the most skillfully adjusted" act in the interest of protection ever enacted by the Congress of the United States. Why not let it stand, then?
CHICAGO Inter-Ocean:—A Kentucky Congressman wants the government to pay rent for the school houses and churches used as hospitals by the armies during the war. But juBt wait and see the bill for stray pigs and the occupants of the hen house. It will exhaust the treasury twice over.
THE Century hits arranged with Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, literary executor of the late James Russell Lowell, for the publication of the last remaining unpublished literary work of the great critic. The first paper, which will ap pear in an early number, has to do with "Wit, Humor, Fun, and Satire." A recently discovered unpublished poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, written on the occasion of the fortieth birthday of Mr. Lowell, will soon appear in the Cnitiiri/.
THE prospects for repeal seem to grow dimmer as the season advances. This is the eighth week of the special session of Congress and the sixth of the repeal debate. If any substantial progress haB been made, save in the House, where the bill passed with reasonable promptness, the friends of repeal are unable to point it out. Every succeeding day complicates the 'situation and adds to the vigor of the opposition. Tbe latter is in practical possession of the field, and, as things stand now, it will be impossible to dislodge it. The control of the Senate iB in the hands of Democrats who hold it by five majority. This majority is responsible for legislation.
IT is a matter of record that there are now upon the "Mexican pension roll" the names of 15,215 survivors, of 7,282 widows, and about 3,000 new cases pending. Here we have about 26,000, or actually more names than there were United States' soldiers in Mexico at any any time during the war. Among this large

of pensioners is found the
names of the widows of such Confederated as Generals Stonewall Jackson, Pickett, Pillow, A. Xs. Hill, Sidney
Lee, Chalmers, Maury, Majey
and a lengthy list who were recently reported feyorably ewcl placed upon the pension roll, while last April the claim* of 145,520 widows of loyal soldiers of the Union had not yet been placed thereon.
How doth the whirligig of the time chnnge all things! We well remember a few years ago on the occasion of the la6t speech of Senator Voorhess in thip city, in defending the name of President Cleveland against the attacks of som Republicans who claimed that no man should ever be elected president who wore a number five hat and a collar the size of a half bushel measure. Laying aside the established truth of that prophecy, we can nowsee the Tall Sycamore in one of his ilights of firey eloquence or the occasion mentioned above, with fire Hying from his eyes he said: "The great trouble with Cleveland's neck that troubles our Republican
friends, is—there has never been a man in that party able to put a baiter around it." How laughable is the position of those two saints of that day when compared with their condition today—then strong in their might defying the attempts, and gloryfying over the failures of "any Republican" to halter them,—now flat of their backs, wound in the cruel meshes of their own party, speechless and worn out, powerless, and "haltered" neck and foot.
SILLIK8T KINS OF N0NSEN8E. At frequent and constantly recurring intervals, says the New York Tribune, tbe Democratic politicians and newspapers, commenting on the condition of the treasury, assert that Mr. Cleveland left a surplus there at the end of his first term and that it was deliberately squandered by the succeeding administration of General Harrison. This is, indeed, one of the commonest of the the numerous political falsehoods by meanB of which the Democratic party succeeded in impressing upon the minds of voters a prejudice against the conduct of the government during the laBt four yearB. It is about as complete and unfounded a falsehood as the human imagination could invent. In the first place there never was a legitimate surplus during the Cleveland Administration, except as there had been a surplus veiy many times before. It was increased by Mr. Cleveland by improper devices for the purpose of creating a public sentiment in favor of a Free-Trade tariff. But at the end of his Administration, owing to the extravagance of Democratic Congresses, it amounted to no more than the sum of $48,096,158.50, and this sum six times over was expended by General Harrison, as it should have been by Grover Cleveland, in the redemption of bonds. At the end of the fiscal year of 1892 bonds had been redeemed by the Harrisoa Government to the amount of $296,916,931, and the Government had saved through these purchases precisely $55,352,493—nearly seven and a half millions more than the so-called surplus which was left in the Treasury by Mr. Cleveland. The annual interest charge when Mr. Cleveland left office was $34,500,000. When he came back to the office it had been decreased to the sum of $22,500,000. The talk about a Cleveland surplus in the light of these facts is the silliest kind of nonsense.
HOKE SMITH has begun apologizing for his pension policy. He plays the baby act and throws the blame on Commissioner Lochren for the order directing that all pensioners whose claims were not good on the presentation made, should be dropped from the rolls for a period of sixty days, when they must make their claims good or suffer permanent suspension. Hoke says this action was taken when he was absent from \Vaehington, and that it did not meet with his approval. Lochren's order is simply modified, not reversed. But the modification did not cotne until tbe indignation became so strong that it made him wince. So Lochren is made the scapegoat. If Loohren had the spirit of a man he would resign, but he seems to be as plastic as clay in the hands of tbe potter,
"NEW YORK Tribune:-— Tlife Republican College League now comprises ninety-five clubs, with a total membership of 10,000. The establishment of this league is a significant sign of the times. The field open before it is practically unlimited. One of its objects is to provide an offset to the teachings of so many classrooms on economical subjects—teachings that have to do with maxims and theories rather than markets and facts. If the College League improves it opportunities, it can exert a vast influence in the education of students, and enable them when they enter upon life for themselves to vote understanding^ and to direct their political course aright. Success to this youthful but vigorous organization.

THE FIGHT AGAINST BROOKSHIKE. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News furnishes that paper with the following which is tot in the nature of news in this part of the State: •lust tit, present the Indiana Kepruscntnlives arc quietly discussing- their chances ol runomnation and .re-election. In a number of districts it is already apparent that there will be a elose light, for the nomination. The irreatest interest perhaps is shown in the outcome in Cunirressman Hrookshire' district. Mr. lirookshire is a candidate lor rcnoinination. He will probably liud ex-Congressman John E. I^amb, ol" Terre Haute, as chief opponent for the nomination. The light will bo a test of strength between tbe old Cleveland and Gray factions that divided Indiana prior to the last presidential convention. John E. Lamb is identified with the Gray element, which seems to have secured most of the Federal ofllceB in Indiana. Mr. Lamb is now greatly Interested in the appointment of his law partner, Joshua Jump, as internal revenue collector. If he succeeds the Immense patronage of the collector's office will probablvibe directed toward securing Mr. Lamb's nomination to succeed Congressman Brookshlre. It looks now as if Jump would be appointed. Mr.lBrookshlre naturally opposes th6 appointment |because he realizes that It will materially lessen his chances for rcnominatlon. Another strong factor In favor of Lamb's nomination Is Crawford Fairbanks,head of the big distilling interests of Terre Haute. Senator Voorbees will quietly lend whatever assistance he can to Mr. Lamb.
It is very evident that Mr. Brookshire will have a rocky road to travel to secure a renomination. The distribution of the patronage in the different parts of the district will prove a source of weakness rather than of strength. Heretofore Mr. Brookshire had no patronage at his disposal and he therefore had plain sailing. It is different now. The dieappointed outnumber the appointed. They will marshal their hosts in favor of some other candidate. Whether that candidate will be John E. Lamb or some other man remains to be seen. The appointment of Ed Voris as postmaster at this city, while it is in every respect a good selection and will prove eminently satisfactory to the Republicans, does not meet wjth the approval of the Democratic workers—the men who run the politice of the county. And so it will be all over the district. Mr. Brookshire will learn o'er another campaign is over that patronage is more of a boomerang than a booster.
—Ed Voris has paid Wm. Tomlinson $1,300 insurance on his home which burned a few days ago. It was insured in the Ohio Farmers.
