A Bill Vlhich proposes to Blake. the Pen--

Bro-“ks Down hiany of the Safeguard!
Now l‘lxisli:1_'_','. A Kansas llepI-esentativo
the Au ho .
W'ashinfrton, Jan. lie-Vow that Con—
gress has begun to throw down the
bars, the pension system is one which
will probably be given a. large share
of the benefit. A sign of the times
may be found in a bill introduced by
Represzntative Broderick, Republican
of Kansas, a legislator who has done
some very good work in his day, but
who feels evidently that he must ”field
something to the pressure from his (Ils-
trict or elsewhere for greater i'ititudn
in pension matters. This bill provides,
among other things:
1. That all pension laws shall be
construed liberally in the interest of
the claimant. who shall not be requir-
ed to furnish proof excluding all rea—
sonable doubt, but merely to establish
his claim by fair preponderance of
proof.
2. That all pensions reduced or dis-
continued since the beginning of 1893--
a date obviously chosen for the pur—
pose of wiping out Commissioner Loc-
reconsidered
and readjudicated upon ' application,
and if restored shall begin again from
the date of thereduction or discontin-
uance.
3. That all investigations into the
merits of pensions previously allowed
shall be conducted in open session, and
at the county seat of the county in
which the person affected resides.
4. That the oaths of persons who
served as non—commissioned officers or
privates shall (weigh as much as those
, of commissioned officers.
5. That marriage may be prima fa—
cie proved by satisfactory evidence
that the parties habitually recognized
each other as husband and wife, and
were so recognized by their neighbors,
and lived together as such up to the
death of either of them or of the enlist-
ment of the man. and that the children
born of such a union shall be for pen-
sion purposes deemed legitimate.
T.- That if a claim for 21 pension un-

the ground of no pensionable degree of
disability, the applicant may have all.

or supplemental declaration. but mere-

gree of disability does exist. and that.
if a second rxamination results Favor-
ably. the pension shall begin from the
date ot‘ filing; the rcjm‘;ted application.

to have begun.

does not amount to three hundred dol-
lars a year shall be considered as

Senator Mason Against Expansion.‘
Washington, Jan. 11.—-The fight
against the peace treaty was resumed
in the Senate yesterday. Senator Ma—
son made a characteristic Speech fa—
voring his amendment to the treaty,
dcciarin gthat the ‘United States shall
not govern the Philippine islands with-
out the consent of the inhabitants.
“It is easy to drift with the tide,"
began Mr. Mason. “But it is not al-
ways safe. It is pleasant to remain in
the harbor when the storm is on, but
sometimes the storm within the inner
nonscicnce is more dangerous to peace
if mind than lhe storm without the
‘iarbor is to human life. V _
‘ ‘1 agree that you can.‘ as Lincoln
'Llld, ‘ii: the long run trust the peo-
_;lO.'
"I am willing to trust the people and
i want the people to hear both sides
'zf the case lfICfC‘l’G' the verdict is ren-
strcd.
“Distivanished editors and states—
:‘ncn say the Republican party favors
governing- cortain nation-s without the
consent of its people. “’ho dares speak
in advance for the party that speaks
only in its conventions?
4 “I may appear to speak one word for
the Philippines. but two for my own
people when I lead for the broad inan—
hood of the man who wrote: “All just
owers of government are derived from
the consent of the governed.‘ We
ought to begin to learn the inexorable
low of compensation. ' "
“You cannot govern the Philippines
without taking them. You have not
yet their consent and the proposition
of taxation without representation is
made again. Look out for tea parties.
Those little semi-social functions are
likely to break out even there. for
‘Hail Columb-ia’ and ‘Yankee Doodlef
have been heard in the archipelago.
“No matter how'easy be the yoke of
a foreign power-mo matter how light-
* !y it sits upon the shoulders, if it is
not imposed by the voice of his own
nation and of his own country. he will
not, he cannot and he means not to
be happy under its burden.
“'illlum A. Russell Dead.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 11.--Wllliam A.
Russell died at his home in this city
at the age of sixty-eight, from an at-
tack of apoplexy. .
He was a member of the well known-
Russell family of this state and had
been very prominent in New England
enterprises ,especially in the manufac-
ture of paper;
He was a Republican member of the
Forty-sixth Congress from the Seventh
Massachusotts district, and served in
the state legislature. , ,
He had for years been a director of
the Fitchburg Railroad. '
Tho- Nicaragua Canal Bi‘l.
l
XVashington, ‘-Jan.. 11.—-The House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce failed to agree upon the ba~
sis of a Nicaragua'canal bill and vot—
ed down two-propositions, one for a
special meeting, yesterday afternoon
.md one for a special. meeting to-day.
The. whole, question now .goes over

CURRENT COMMENT.
The national debt of France is the
largest in the world—upward 0136.-
000,000,000. about $115 per capita.
This debt has not been reduced re.
Gently.
A Holyoke teacher who has been
studying. manual training in Sweden
at a point where the cars run only
twice a week, says the Boston Tran-
script, recently received a letter from
home in a flag envelope, which the
authorities thought to be a communi-
cation from the United States govern-
ment, ‘on account of the flag. Immedi-
ately a special train was made up and
took the letter forty rmiles for, the
benefit of the recipient. This looks
as though we enjoyed Sweden’s good
will.
Boiled water is a leading tonic of
interest in Chicago, and the Health
Commissioner says the boiling, to be
effective, must continue half an hour.
After the water has cooled and the
sediment settled it is poured off and
bottled. Having completed the bottl-
ing, the citizen feels at liberty to take
an antidote for breathing the vapor
of the Chicago river.
Let us spell it Richport. Neitlier
Puerto Rico nor Porto Rico is English.
but Spanish and Portuguese. Since
the island now belongs to the United
States, the sensible thing to do is to
translate its name. That process pre-
serves the historical designation aha
affirms the dominance of the English
speaking United States. The Govern-
ment departments will then .be rid of
their diil'erence-s as to the official des-
ignation of our Antille.
Of those 250,000 troops called into
service for the war With Spain, only
87,000 were utilized; but the ‘Nar De-
partment estimates that it will take
rather more than that number to hold
the territory wrestled from Spain, and
maintain a proper garrison force in
Hawaii. Its estimate for service is
90,000 men. It is very evident that
the Uni-ted States army is going to be
a much more prominent factor in the
public :iii'ai'rs of this country hereafter
than it ever has been heretofore.
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain has
been discussing: in Scribner’s the re
cent developments of policy in the
United States. ,,The British Colonial
Secretary believes that the two great—
est nations in the world are Great
Britain and our own country. He sees
no reason why they should not offi-
{cially admit their mutual dependence
on one another. He thinks he distin-
guishes less of the tendency that has
recently dominated the American
press to caricature the peculiarities of
Englishmen and to freely depict their
faults.
The newly discovered peak in Alas-
ka, which is said to be taller than
Mount St. Elias, is away over on the
American side of the boundary line,
and is thus indisputably ours. It will
be somewhat rough on Elias to lose
his long-reputed pro-eminence, but as
the great landmark of the internation-
a-l boundary line he may get some con-
solation. _ ~
Admiral Dewey refused an oii’cr of
$5,000 for a magazine article. Spain
would have paid more than that if
the Admiral had kept his magazine
articles locked up in Manila Bay.
The Princeton undergraduates have
acted for the good fame of the univer—
sity in adopting ,resolutions against
hazing. That is a practice unworthy
of the years and dignity of even E1
college sophomore. When a boy mar-
ticulates he should begin to be a man.
But the insistence upon “time~honored
customs of the university,” when
those customs are absurd and Without
warrant in good taste or morals, will
Win scant sympathy from the outside
world. The regulation of the conduct
and bearing of the freshmen should be
left .to common sense and not madeto
conform to tradition more or less silly.
We dare say that in good» time this
little problem will work itself out in
that way.

This is an era of women’s clubs, of
all sorts and descriptions, from the
frankly frivolous to the ambitious as-
sociations that wrestle with problems
of State or delve deep into the arcane.
of science. It is the easiest thing in
the world to make fun of them. The
new woman may exist in real life as
well. as in the pages of the so-called
comic weeklies, but she is very hard
to find. Generally the club woman,
although by no means “old,” is after
all just thesame woman that has al-
ways blessed the World by her pres-
ence. She has simply learned that she
may do many things that might have
surprised her grandmother, but which
are not at all essentially masculine,
and not open to the fiings‘ and sneers
of the paragn'apher who finds such fun
in the “new woman,” as be imagines
her. Moreover. whatever tradition
may indicate to the contrary, women
are generally eminently practical. The
American woman, especially, not only
says things,.but does something. Her
clubs are very apt to be more than
meetings for gossip—'41, thing, by the
’way. the: is by nozlneansdistlnctlvely

3 The Military Cloak.
New traveling wraps for lengthy
journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be worn with or
without a cape. The fronts are semi-
loose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
'gilt buttons. The deep cape is fast-
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is alone a sum-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and otners of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in redin-
gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen’s coats, with and without
shoulder—capes, and will be used for
traveling and morning walks.

Hard to Believe.
We found that when Vinol (the new form
of cod liver oil) was first introduced, many
people would not believe such a. delxcxous tast-
ing article could have anything in common
with this valuable but terrible tasting mixture.
Vinol has all the active curative principles to
which cod liver oil owes its reputation, but
Vinol does not contain the stomach disturb.
ins obnoxious smelling grease which was cod
liver oil’s drawback.
Here is what Mr. John H. Greer, Ph.G.,
of Lawrence, Mass, one of the best known
chemists of that city, says concerning Vinol :—
“The public at first were incredulous in re-
gard to the fact that Vinol contained the all-
to-be-desired part of cod liver oil, and the
grease has been discarded. Chemists recog-
nized this, and~ the public are fast learning
that itis so. I do not think Vinol needs any-
one‘s praise. It will prove its own merits?
The active curative principles found in
Vinol at? like the luscious fruit of a. melon,
the part that was desired, from which the
worthless husk had been discarded, as the 011
which formerly enveloped the medicinal parts
of cod liver oil has been discarded, With the
advent of Vinol. Yours very truly,
