Nevertheless, there ia no tendency to advocate a policy of parsimony. The pension list, to that it be fairly cobtl tuted, ia met with uniform cheerltilneae. The feeling is common that the veteran deserves all he gets.

Dealers claim that this price is too high and that orders will be curtailed or the trade will get iU supply from Ore gon. The crop of marketable prunes is estimated at 105,000,000 pounds. The Chattanooga News thought it gave a new turn to an old joke, when it as a democratic paper, admitted that four months after the inauguration of Bryan every rmtional bank in the country would close its doors. The next day it ex plained that the national banks would clone their doors on the 4th of July The Bryan organ it badly mixed on this as it it on some of its financial statements. To begin with national banks don't open their doors on the 4th of July, and bad it followed the speeches of its presiden tial candidate it would hare learned that the 4th of July ia to be abolished. assurance that thi estimate will be cor rect. Another cost that, under the HI 'a I policy of the United States ia certain to grow to stupendous proportions, ia that of the pension roll. So great hat been the fear lest one worthy fail of getting hit due that the rolls growing out of the rebellion are cumbered with the names of pretenders, bogus widows, sutlers, even deeerters. These truths may be stated without in any manner reflecting upon the genuine old soldier or liegrudg iDg him the moiety be receives for serv ice" rendered. The pension rolls of the United Stales have swollen enormously, and were supposed to have reached a climax, but the war with Spain, the ensuing turmoil in the Philippines, and now'the hostili ties in Cbina, give promise of keeping it up to iU highest etandard. From July 1, 1805, to June 30th of the present year, there was paid out on account of pen sions f i.tjOO.OOO.OOO. During the twelve years of the Grant and Hays adrmnis- trations the total was 375,000,000. while during the three years tinder McKinley the total has been $42,1 l.OC). In view of this, the occasional protest that the old soldier is not getting fair treatment is difficult to underHtand, This year's pension roll shows 40,645 addttiont, with 4,099 restored, a loUl ot 45.344, There were dropped, principally owing to deaths, and in many instances to re-marriage, 4.'5,334, the increase being 2,010.

In the first place, it may be taken for granted that the election of liryan would carry with it the election of a niojority of liryanitea in the House of Iteprerw-nta tivet. The margin there at present it I bare dozen, and when we remember that in the Congressional election of 1898, 'ih teats were lost by the Republicans in states overwhelming anti-B.yanit. in 18, it will be teen that any revolution that could carry liryan into the presiden cy would inevitably destroy the slight advantage now possessed by the oppo nent! in the House. We shall be told, however, that the Senate cannot be changed, at earliest, bfore 1903. Even if that were true there would be rather scant comfort in the p-ospect of a delay of only two yean. It would be too much like the mercy shown in cutting the dog's tail off by inches. But it it not even true that the Senate could not be changed at the same time at the House by a revulsion of pop ular opinion strong enough to elect liryan.
