THE CAMPAIGN.

Democratic Infamy and Duplicity. Extracts from Frets Opinions on the Questions of the Hoar. ' Republican Defenders Only. Indianapolis Journal. While the bill appropriating $150,000.000 for pensions—a cut down of over $15,000,000 from the first estimates —was under consideration in House the past week the discussion turned upon the present administration of the Pension Bureau. Here in Indiana Democratic soldiers denoupce the Cleveland-Hoke-Smithr' Lochren policy as bitterly as do Republicans, but not a Democratic Representative from Indiana had a word to say against the pension policy which Deputy Commissioner Ball says- will cut down pension disbursements about $25,000,000 the next fiscal year and down to SIOO,000 000 before the close, of the ClevelandacTministratidn, instead of $l6O.-

000,000 the last fiscal year. No pensioners were hit harder than were the Democratic soldiers in Indiana whcTWre pensioners under the act of 1890 until Lochren was called off. Indiana soldiers will suffer their full share in the contemplated reduction of one-third of the aggregate expenditureJor pensions. Every Indiana Democratic Representative, by his silence, approved this policy’. Every one, of them is a Cleveland-Hoke-Smith “cuckoo.” On theother hand, the two Republican Representatives, Johnson and Waugh, were in the front line of the men denouncing this policy of hostility to the Union soldiers, standing with such soldiers as General Henderson/ Hepburn and Pickier, and assailed the official conspiracy against pensioners. Judge Waugh, in his remarks last Saturday,"Showed that durjng the six months ending last November the Pension Bureau issued 35,7d5 certificatesand rejected 67,283 applications, while during the corresponding period of 1892, under the Harrison administration, 118,954 Jensron certificates Were issued.' udge Waugh went on to say: • Since the Pension Office went-into Democratic hands there have been over 16,000 pensioners dropped and suspended from the roll; over 12,000 by the action of the pension office, and over 4,000 by the operation of the law passed by the Eifty-second Congress: and during the same time

the roll has diminished about 25.000 by death, and about 8,000 more from other causes. It seems that death and Hoke Smith have been busy getting their work in on the boys, and tn many instances death has dealt more gently with them than Hoke Smith. This administration came into power with a libel upon the pension roll by its official utterance that ‘‘there were thousands of neighborhoods throughout the country that had their wellknown pension frauds. ” The administration has been in power a year and has been, as we must believe, more vigilant in hunting fraud than in granting pensions, and it has found just three neighborhoods, Norfolk, New Mexico and lowa. The frauds in one of these neighborhoods were, as I am informed, discovered curing the Republican administration.”

When Judge Waugh-said-that there were far less frauds with pension claims than any other Congress had undertaken to deal with he made an allusion to the Southern war claims, both allowed and pending, which was so well understood that applause followed. Referring to the silence of Indiana Democratic Senators and Representatives, Judge. Waugh said: ■‘‘Some time ago it was heralded to the country through the public press that certain Democrats, notably from Indiana, were going to commence a war on the administration’s pension policy. I have been listening ever since, but I have faiV?d up to this time to hear the opening guns of the conflict. Have they come to the conclusion that they cannot deceive the old soldiet - any longer 2 When the old soldier and the pension roll are assaulted, as is so often done on this floor, why is it that we .scarcely ever see a Northern Democrat rise to his feet to rebuke it? If he does he speaks in tones so low that he cannot be heard outside his Congressional district; PLaugbtfcr.] Have they come to the conclusion that they cannot fool the old soldier any longer; or have the assaulting forces surrendered to the seductive influences of the pie counter?”

ANARCHY IN CONGRESS.

Mr. Reed Is Alarmed at. the Possibilities That Are Dooming Up. Washington better to New York Sun. I can see how ex-Speaker Reed is naturally the physical and intellectual leader of the House. His size is tremendous, his mind quick, and he Is in dead earnest. When I asked him what the Senate would do with the Wilson bill he said: j. . r 1! begin to get alarmed. -At first we thought the cooler heads of the Senate'would put back op to the tariff a good deal of the $84,000, W 0 deficit and make a tariff for revenue' according to the Democratic platform. But now I see there is Anarchy in the Senate. I' am afraid that "the Wilson bill will go through the Senate with its worst features retained- The Southern free-traders are in •power.” “How will this affect the Democratic party?” I asked. . “It will destroy it in the North.

- —*—j but frith its destruction will cotna great damage to the Republic. I should like to see the party wreck itself, but I feel that patriotism should take the place of party now. If I were a Northern Democrat I would put that $84,000,000 deficit back. Then they can go back to the foolish voters and say: ‘We have done your bidding. We have made a tariff for revenue and for the whole revenue.’ As it is, and as it will be, the voters will say: ‘You have not made a tariff for revenue. You have made free trade in some things and destroyed the revenue* on others. You have caused our wages to be cut twenty-five per cent, to fit your wage-destroying tariff. You have stopped mills, made workmen paupers, and taken billions of wage money out of circulation, and run the country in debt besides.’” - “How can money be made flush again?” I asked, and Mr. Reed answered:

“There is no way to put money in circulation except through wages paid. Issuing Government bonds doesn’t make circulation. The laborers must earn it and spend it. and that will make it flush. The statisticians say the 20,000.000 laboring people in this country earn when they are at work from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 a day. The Wilson tariff bill will cut these wages from ten to twenty-five per cent. The. ten per cent, cut on $40,000,000 will be a loss of $4,000,000 a day to laboring men, or $1,200,000,000 in a year. A twenty-five per pent, cut in wages will take $3,000,000,000 out of circulation. One-third of our labor is idle now. This idleness, is. costing. us probably $10,000,000 a day. Ido not wonder that the times are hard and tha,t money -is tight. There is money enough in the banks. They are glutted, but labor isn’t getting any of it. It will stay there till labor gets jt out.” . :. / “What will bring money out?” “Why, labor,-1 say, and nothing else. . .Set the mills to resuming, keep wages up, and the boys, wjlj soon earn money enough and spend enough to make times good- again.”'

CLEVELAND AND THE VETERANS

The President's Efforts to Discredit the Roll of Pensioners. ,1- - Baltimore American. ■ President Cleveland’s pension policy is now under discussion in the House of .Representatives, and the Democrats are experiencing considerable difficulty in .reconciling their, alleged sympathy for the veterans.' who saved the country with their loyalty, to the head of their party. They certainly will not convince the soldier of their sincerity by quasi indorsements of Cleveland’s policy, such as they gave to his action in the Hawaiian affair. The soldiers are, as rule, among the most intelligent and enterprising of American citizens. It is for this reason that both parties are so anxious to secure their votes. Such men cannot be blinded concerning the attitude of the President toward them. Cleveland’s hostility to those whe defended the country when its life was threatened was made notorious during his first term —so notorious as to suggest that he had taken a dislike to them because he had sent a substitute to the war instead of going himself. His cynical and satirical vetoes of pension bills which had been passed by Congress without opposition suggested a malignant motive, and created the impression that in someway he had suffered wrong at the hands of the soldiers, or imagined he had. and was determined to have revenge when the oportunity offered. His flippant humor was far more offensive to the soldiers than.hjs vetoes which accompanied it, and very soon, alter he entered on .his second term Mr. Cleveland made it apparent , that' he had thrown away the scabbard in his controversy with the country’s defenders. The sudden change" Of policy in the Pension Bureau cctuld., mean nothing else: It was a despicable policy to suspend thousands of pensions upon the pretense of suspicion, but it was an effective policy all the Same, for many of the soldiers, not a few of whom might be the most meritorious, were unable or unwilling to fight the government. They had had a tough struggle to get their pensions, and Were unable or unwilling to make another fight. It was worse than encountering the enemy on the field of battle. The latter conflict is soon over, but an encounter with red tape is too often prolonged indefinitely. It has thus happened that while the bureau has not exposed as many real frauds as was done during the same time under President Harrison’s administration, its. pernicious activity has given |in finite trouble to the veterans, and entailed heavy additional expense on the government. The difference between the policy of Mr. Cleveland ami that of his predecessor can be summed up in a few words. President Harrison aimed to make the pension list a roll of honor, while President Cleveland aims to produce the impression that it was a .sham roll, and thus discredit the soldier in the eyes of the country. It is almost unnecessary to say that Mr. Cleveland is himsqlf so seriously discredited in popular estimation that he cannot materially injure the soldier, but until Congress puts a stopper on the extravagance and unfairness of the bureau as how managed he can put many thousands of pensioners to great inconvenience. * - ' s, - -

TOPICS OF THESE TIMES.

‘ LIGHTS O* LONDON," --- The phenomenal growth of LonJon, England, is one of the marvels of the nineteenth century. Official statistics show that for the decennial census period prior to 1891 the rate of increase of population had varied from 16 to 21 per cent., but in 1891 this rate fell to 10 per cent. Authorities agree that the rate of increase can not fall below this per cent, unless some great calamity or pestilence should intervene, and the probabilities are that the rate of increase will much exceed that figure. But even with a ten per cent, increase the estimates place the population of the greatest city the world has ever known in the year 1941, or less than fifty years ahead, at 90,000,000 souls’. Such figures are enough to frighten all' who love their fellow men, for few Will contend that the overcrowded metropolis can by anyhuman power be made more desirable as a place of residence than it is to-day, while the natural tendency must rather be toward'an increase of its evil influences and a decrease of all the refining and elevating elements that at present make it tolerable for civilized man. The problem presented for the government and regulation pf such a gigantic municipality are enough to stagger tLe ablest statesmen, and unless Providence shall intervene they must be met by men already , born. The future of the world’s metropolis can not be said to be flatering or assuring. The fearful congestion that i§ setting in upon, the,' storied. Thames must be (reduced,j.qr want and woe and tragedies yet un-, dreamed of will surely come to cool the throbbing fever tide of an' overcrowded population’ that human telligence has failed to stay or-even regulate. r . \ 5 -. h'

“TF CHRIST CAME TO CHICAGO.”

A most,. improbable event,, indeed-, Yet Editor Stead, who came , from England last fall with the intention of staying only two webks r at the ; World’s Fair City, where' ht? has since remained combatting “sin’Mft all its varied forms, has seen >fit. tot write a book with the above start-; ling, and many will think profane, title, in which he lays bare the abominations that prevail in the modern Babylon. ' Mr. Stead’s book will be given to the world during the month of March, and it will probably make a great sensation. The table of contents states what may be expected, and if promises are carried out the book will be of value as a directory of the gambling houses, saloons and brothels of the city, even it does not prove a means fortheir abolition. Mr. Stead in an interview, previous to his departure for England, said: I have tried to show in my book what Christ’s judgments would be were He to come to Chicago. I have found a vast variety of images and most of them have been terribly marred. There is the tramp with its companion picture, the millionaire. There is the harlot who may be offset against the idle woman piTasßibn,“whois> among the worst of disreptutables, notwithstanding the fact that she is a member of the 400. The frontispiece of the book is a reproduction of a famous painting, ‘ ‘Christ Driving the Money-Changer s from the Temple,” but the faces of the retreating brokers have been changed to those of prominent Chicagoans. Chas.vTi jYqrkes,s K(i Hillings, M. C. WdrfrU thus “honored.

Mr. Stead says that Chicago is the only city in America in which Englishmen are interested, and they hope to see its morals .purified and its government

as free from corruption as that of London. The city council of London, Mr. Stead says, has not a single “boodler.” In concluding the interview Mr. Stead said: “lam an En-glish-speaking man, and to me America is as much a fatherland as England. I do not recognize any natiohality under the common rooftree of the English tongue. If there is one work more than another to which I have dedicated my life it is to the preaching of the great truth of the essential unity of the Englishspeaking race. At bottom lam neither a journalist nor a man of letters; I am simply a revivalist preacher, although the kind of revival which I work for is slightly differentia its form, although identical in its essence, with that which, goes by that name. What I seek above all things js the turning of the people, whether as a city or a State or a nation, to repent of their sins and help to bring in this world the kingdom of the Lord and His Christ.”

GOOD FROM EVIL.

“Is it right to do evil that good may come?” is a question that has agitated many a debating society and shaken many a rural community from center to circumference. A satisfactory solution of this vexed moral problem has never been attained. The Mexican government does not appear to be troubled with with any scruples on the matter, however, and has answered in the affirmative, by granting great “concessions” for bull fighting and dovoting the proceeds to the completion of the drainage system for the City of Mexico • "frhlcSi*Wa^’bbgun three hundred yeatS’ilgo'; With the aid of the revenug-;dgrived-JronDbull ; fighting c! frill now be able to devote .$120,,000 ; , mdrith th this and it, is esti'mtfted r 't ( h'it i 'dn '^i^iteen 1 months” the'great' the' escape ! 6f thfeimprisbnedfioodsbf the valley, ifrhich fog centuries: lhls> been a-icbnl-staut menace to- the city, ; will have been completed. Estimates place the cost of this work in the past at many millions of dollars,’ and more

than 200,000 human? lives have been lost in its prosecution. The City of ' Mexico was originally.built upon an island in an inland,lake, which occupied the center of a . mountain basin, or wley about sixty miles in diameter, and was approached by" dikes, r of which was ten miles in length. r The .remain,?,of this. dike,,still .exjst./ There being no outlet through the wall surrounding this valley the city has at many different periods suffered from most disastrous floods. In the last great inundation the waters stoed at the level of the second Story of the houses for several years. Gradually, by evaporation, filling and ineffective drainage the great lake has been reduced, the waters subsiding into several smaller lakes, but the water level remained dangerously near the level of the streets.— The canal and tunneh iu>w nearing completion have a total length of forty miles, and as an engineering -work they rank among the greatest achievements of modern times.

D * MOSHES ’ who has, -beyond doubt, 7 given more thought to th® subject of ele- \ electric roads A. than any other man in the West, is out

• > "I* with an interesting pamphlet on the question. It is devoted to the subject of a proposed United States Government bicyclewheeled elevated railroad, which, the author and inventor claims, would connect Chicago and New York in ten hours, and make the trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific in thirtysix hours. The following sketch outlines the plan:

AN AUBURN MIRACLE.

AN ACT OF HEROISM IS FOL- ; LOWED BY DIRE RESULTS. ._ 1 E Edward oUnneUy Saves a Life Almost al the Cost of His Own—After Years ol Suffering He Is Restored to Health—Hh Story as Told to a Reporter of ths Auburn Bulletin. [Auburn (N. Y.) Bulletin.] it is on record that upon a chilly April day, a few years ago, an eight-year-old boy fell into the East River al the fcot of East Eighth street, New York, and when all efforts to rescue him had failed, Edward Donnelly, al risk of his own life, plunged into the '' water and, when himself nearly exhausted, saved' the boy from drowning., , It was a humane ana self-sacrificing., deed, and received deserved commendation in all the newspapers. There is a sequel to this accident, however, which thus far has not been published. It is to the effect that Donnelly was paralyzed as a remit of the cold’ plunge and came near dying, Au;,, burn people have known the family since his wife was Amanda Grantmans. : and his sister Mrs. S. D. Corry, of 21 Moravia street. Donnelly himself de l scribes the rescue and the result: - ’ “I was general foreman of the F. At Mulgrew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, New York, on the East River.
