ARE WE VNORA TEFVL f
The pension list grows steadily,
and the indications are that another
class will be provided for at the
coming session of congress that will
add $40,000,000 more to the amount
ot money the country must pay.
The Chronicle editor believes in
the pension system, but not the one
in vogue. We believe that every
old soldier who lost limb or health in
the service of the country should be
cared for. We believe the pension
list should be a roll of honor, and
that it should be a source of pride to
him who received a portion of a
grateful people's bounty. The list
is no longer such. Able-bodied men,
with abundant property and a Klon
dike of good health are on the list.
Men who pursue their occupations in
competition with their fellowmcn,
who hold lucrative offices, and who
are abundantly able to take care of
themselves and their families, are on
the list, and they should be there no
longer.
We need pension legislation look
ing to its reduction rather than to its
extension. There are men who were
good soldiers and who are in need,
who are not, but should be, on the
pension list, but every able-bodied
man should come off of it. Every
man with a competence should come
off of it. Every fraud, and there
are thousands of them, should come
off of it.
The human mind cannot grasp and
measure a statement made in figures,
for 140,000,000 rolls off the tongue
just as quickly as 140,000. Let us
put $140,000,000, the amount paid
yearly for pensions, into something
tangible that the mind can grasp,
and so measure the extent of the
nation's, gratitude. One hundred
and forty million dollars, with wheat
at 75 cents a bushel, would mean
186,666,667 bushels of wheat. One
hundred bushels of wheat weigh three
tons. Eighteen tons make an aver
age carload,and eighteen tons are COO
bushels. The average car is forty
feet long. Now if 186,000,000 bush--els
of wheat, representing the pension
payments, were placed in freight cars,
600 bushels to the car, the cars forty
feet in length, it would make a solid
train 2357 miles long, enough to
reach from Chicago to Portland and
leave a few miles for good measure.
"With $40,000,000 more added it
would lengthen the train 500 miles.
With beef cattle valued at $25 eich,
and allowing ten feet for each one,
it would make a drove of cattle,
standing three abreast, that would
reach from San Francisco to New
York, -or in single file would reach
from San Francisco to Berlin. With
$40,000,000 more added, the herd
would reach a trifle more than half
way around the earth. With hay at
$7 per ton, and allowing 500 cubic
feet to the ton, it would make a
pyramid a mile square at its base
aad a mile faigb. With cordwood at
$2 per cord, $140,000,000 would
represent a small bit of woed pile
that piled four feet high, the wood
being four feet long, would reach
four times around the earth. With
lumber at $10 a thousand, it would
make a board 2,657,515 miles long,
or a board walk around the earth 100
feet wide. At $20,000 a mile, it
would build two railroads from New
York to San Francisco. It would
build seventy war ' vessels, costing
$2,000,000 each, and these big fel
lows placed in a line so they touched
would reach nearly five miles. It
would construct the Nicaragua canal
and would run a country newspaper
100,000 years.
INJUNCTION AGAIN.
The strike situation has assumed a
serious phase, since the mineowners
have unndertaken to try to restrain
the miners from assembling near their
properties by getting out injunctions
The strike has been a remarkable
one in that it has been free from vio
lence and bloodshed. The miners
have kept within the law, and have
used nothing stronger than argument
to persuade their fellow-miners to
join in the strike. Of this right the
companies are now trying to deprive
them. It should not succeed, and if
the temporary injunction is made
permanent there is going to be
trouble.
The right of free speech, the right
to assemble peaceably, the light to
organize for mutual benefit and pio
tection, rests upon the decision, and
there are more than the coal-miners
interested in it. The corporations
and the trusts are getting too large
for a republican form of government,
and are seemingly determined to do
away with the laws of the country
and the rights and liberties of the
people.
It will be a sorry day for them
hen they can get courts venal enough
to carry out their behests, for the day
they do a revolution will begin
that will sweep them put of exist
ence, and they will be fortunate in
deed if their property is not confis
cated and the lives of their officers
declared forfeit. Gold-madness, as
we see it illustrated in ihe rush to the
Klondike, is as measles to smallpox
compared to blood-madness, and from
present indications, this country will
be lucky if it escapes an attack of it
before the century closes.

Remarkable Care of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It haB giveu me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a iriend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen-
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough

Diarrhoea Remedy always affords
prompt relief. For eale by Blakeley &

Catarrh Cannot be Cured .
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional dieease, and
in order to care it yon must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
coring Catarrh. Send' for testimonials,
