. By. the passage of the direct tax bill
which will go back to the senate from
the house with an amendment in which
the senate will probably concur, the
money for taxes levied on the states in
'61 for war purposes will be refunded,
and will aggregate $15,225,632. The bill
gives New York considerably over $2,-

$326,028; Wisconsin, $446,535; Nebraska,
$19312; Illinois, $97468; Indiana,

Wae Pays the Peasioa Xeaejr?
The clamor of the anti pension howlers
deceives many people into believing that
pension disbursements impose burdens
upon the tax payers of the country.
Nothing can be farther from truth.
They have as little to do with taxation
as they have with annexation with Canada.
Were there no pensioners in ttie
country the revenue system would be
substantially the same, for it is founded
on our policy of protection to American
industries, and the generally accepted
belief that the goverment should control
the production and sale of whisk)-, beer,
tobacco and oleomargarine.
So much for generalities. Now let us
see whither ihe money actually comes
which is used to pay pensions.
The report of the secretary of the
treasury for 1890 shows there was col
lected last year:
From customs
Erom internal revenue.
From profits on coinage
Sales of public lands
From the postal service
.8229,668,84
.. 142,606,705
.. 10,217,244
. . 6,358,272
.. 60,382,697
Bank taxes, patent office and consular
fees, tax on seal skins and other minor
items, swelled the total to $3SSfi&lfiB03Si
Of this, $358,C16V8L00 was paid out
again; $106,936,855.05 was for pensions.
That is, less than twenty-five per et-ul
of the entire revenue collections were
disbursed for pensions.
Let us take these figures as a basis and
go still further into particulars. Tho
largest single item is that of 8142,06,70;
for internal revenue collections. Much
more is collected from this one source
than would pay the entire pension roll,
with all the arrears which have been ac
cumulating for twenty-nine years. The
report of the commissioner of internal
revenue shows that this was divided up
as follows:
From distilled spirits $R1,687,375 09
From tobacco 33,983,991 00
From fermented liquors. . . 26,008,334 74
From oleomanptrine 786,291 72
From banks, not national . . 69 90
Penalties, etc 153,720 09
Total 5142,594,696 5.
The tax on distilled spirits is ninety
cents a gallon. A gallon of whisky con
tains n uch less than a proof gallon of
sniritt but for convenience we will say
luat it is the same. Therefore, every
man who drank a gallon of whisky last
year paid ninety cents into the treasury,
of which one-fourth or twenty-two and
a half cents, went for pensions. As he
paid an average of ton cents for a drink,
and there are about seventy average
drinks in a gallon, he paid the barkeep
ers who sold him the Btnff, fully 87.00
before he contributed twenty-two and a
half cents to pensions.
The tax has been eight cents a pound
on smoking tobacco, 3.00 a thousand
on cigars and fifty cents a thousand on
cigarettes. Therefore, a man has had to
pay into the pension fund two cents for
every pound of tobacco he smoked. Or,
if he nreferred cigars, he has had to
smoke three cigars a day for a year which
cost him not less than 850.00 before pay
ing $3.00 into the treasury, of which
seventy-five cents went for pensions. If
he took to cigarettes he had to pay
twelve and a half cents for pensions for
every thousand with which he poisoned
the air and his own lungs.
If he drank beer he would havo to
swallow thirty-two gallons before paying
$1.00 into the treasury of which twenty
five cents went for pensions. As a bar
rel of beer contains about 500 glasses, he
paid tho saloon keeper 825.00 for every
twenty-five cent6 that went for pensions.
If his expenditures for tobacco and
beer compelled him to economize in his
househald.expenses and to use oleomar
garine instead of butter, he would have
to buy one hundred pounds of the sub
stitute for the lacteal product before he
put $2.00 into the treasury, of which
fifty cents went for pensions.
Nor would his whisky, tobacco, beer, or
oleomargarine have been a cent cheaper
if there had been no pensions to pay.
The men who sold him those things
would have simply made more money off
him, that's all.

Kerosraition of Indian Allies.
Colonel W. F. Cody and Major Burke
are in Wcshington endeavoring to secure
immediate compensation for the friendly
Indians whoso property was destroyed
during the late troubles at Fine Ridge,
held a conference lately with Senators
Manderson a nd Paddock. Senator Man
derson called together the members of
tho Indian committee and laid before
them the necessity of an immedite ap
proriation for tho payment of property
the friendly Indians had destroyed by the
hostiles when the former wore Killed into
Pine Ridgo and obliged to abandon their
homes. Senators Manderson and Pad
dock will make a vigorous attempt to
secure an appropriation covoring the
loss sustained by tho frien Jlies.
No doubt Cody's action in tho matter
is largely duo to a desire to advance the
interest of his Wild West by securing
some of these same Indians for his Bhow,
but that fact does not detract from the
j ustice of the Ind ia ns' clai m to indemn ity.
And action on tho part of goverment
in the same direction with reference to
the whito settlera who were damaged
should have prompt attention. Cononel
Cody, on the question of indemnity for
the Indians says:
'There 19 no doubt, of the justice of
this demand and of the sound policy of
securing the immediate recognition of it.
The Indians do not nnerstand delay.
Each and all of these chiefs who left
their homes to evince their friendship to
the government, and whose property was
destroyed by thelirnles, was assured that
the government would promptly recom
pense them for thoir loyalty. Many of
them have gouo back home, feeling that
there was no recognition of their faith
fulness. If we are not to have in the
spring n recurrence of tho troubles of
the winter, I believe it is of the highest
importance that tho matter should be
promptly attended to. The western sen
ators generally, I believe will assist, and
from my conversation with members of
the Indian committee, to which Senator
Manderson with great kindness intro
dued me personally, I believe that the
matter will pass the senate.
F. r. Wiotox, a banker of Norfolk,
Neb., is an oiien advocate of first mort
gage bonds on land as the basis for na
tional currency; tho currency to be re
deemable in gold and silver. lie says
the results would be: Iuterest reduced
to a maximum of four per cent; iuter
est a uniform rate throughout the
country; the revenue not less than a

paper worth its face in gold or silver

government savings bank paying 6tual!
interest, isbuing certificates that could
be cashed on demand. The statesmen

not but favor some such a system a
currency based on the doubly solid
foundation of land security and the
promise of the government. Hon. L.
Gerrard, of this city, president of the
Columbus State Bank, (whoso views
we published at length several months
since, and which have attracted wide at
tention) remarked to us at tho time that
it might 6eeui strange to some that lieing
a banker, he should favor the reduction
of interest by a system of finance that
would give the country a greatly reduced
rate of interest, put farmers out of con
trol of money sharks, and prevent the
cornering of the currency, but such is
the fact, and ho is enthusiastically iu
favor of government loans on landed
security. Statesmanship will soino day
provail over cent-per-cent, and such
views as thoeo of Bankers Gerrard and
Wigton will receive consideration at tho
hands of legislators and tho general pub
lic. TnE terms granted by Sherman to
Johnston's soldiers were even more mag
nanimous than those which Grant gave
to Leo's. The lately departed general of
the armies of the nation was as tender in
peace as he was strong in war. The
south never had a better friend than
Sherman, nover will have. We regret
such demonstrations as several of tho
southern journals have made concerning
the death of Sherman. We regret them
exceedingly. We regret all southern
dissensions from that perfect nationality
which is evidently the recognition and
enforcement of "one law, one element,"
in all parts of the country. There can
not be two paramount policies in two
sections of the nation. That which has
been is that which shall be; the doctriuo
of the widest freedom and the deepest
loyalty to the nation ultimately will pre
vail in all the states. This was Sher
man's creed, as it is ours, and is the creed
of the north, though the south may not
believe so. The south did not leiieve
that the creed of tho north was national,
until the dreadful voice of the sword an
nounced it. Inter Ocean.

If you would bo as happy as a child,
please one.
Childish wonder is the first step in
human wisdom.
To beet please a child is the highest
triumph of philosophy.
To stimnlate wholesome curiosity in
the mind of the child is to plant golden

I would rather be called the children's

Amusement to children is like rain to

that official netted by farming state
moneys in two years. Should the state
secure judgment, similar suits will fol

Washington letter.
From oar regular cirrwonileiit.l
The president, by the nomination of
ex-governor and ex-representative Chas.
Foster, of Ohio, to be secretary of the
treasury, has added another to tho long
list of peculiarly fitting npiointmonts he
has made, which show him to bo tho
possessor, to an unusual degree, of the
rare faculty of correctly guaging the
merits and abilities of men. The repub
licans in congress are, to a man, delight
ed, and even the democrats find no fault.
Everybody recognizes Mr. Foster's
great ability as a thorough-going, common-sense
business man and practical
financier, and what is far moro important
in the present condition of our financial
system, everybody recognizes his con
servatism, and everybody is confident
that under his administration the treas
ury department will be conducted along
the safe lines which made the late secre
tary Windom so popular with the busi
ness men of the country.
Gov. Foster ia no stranger in Wash
ington. He served with honor to him
self, his state and the republican party
in the house of the Forty-second, Forty
third, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth con
gresses, and by frequent visits to the
national capital he has kept up his ac
quaintance with the prominent public
men of the time.
He belongs to that class of self-made
men of which the greatest leaders of the
republican party, during the last thirty
years have been such striking examples;
he is a product of one of America's
greatest blessings the public schools,
that God-given system which enables
every studious boy, aye, and girl, too, to
lay the foundation of future greatness
with as much certainty of a future reali
zation of ambitious hopes as can bel
possessed by children of the wealthiest
parents.
.Even tho ultra silver men speak well
jof this nomination. They kuow that
Mr. Foster does not share their views to
tho extent of free and unlimited silver
coinage, but they know also that he,
like tho late secretary- Windom, is a
warm friend of silver and that tho real
difference between his opinions and
theirs is only one of methods for the no
complishment of a common end fur
nishing tho country with a suilicient
volume of stable, honest currency; cur
rency which shall at all times and under
all circumstances bo worth 100 cents in
tho dollar, alike to debtor and creditor.
It is daily becoming moro apparent
that tho democrats in tho houso-are bent
upon forcing the calling of an extra ses
sion, if they can, and unless all tho re
publican absentees, there are still nearly
a dozen of them can bo brought hero
and kept here until the close of the ses
sion, it is feared that they may succeed.
Thev (the democrats) are resorting to
their usual methods of obstruction.
When they cannot block the legislative
wheels by fillibustering motions they
break a quorum by leaving tho house in
a body. A quorum of republican mem
bers constantly present is the only thing
that will put a stop to this foolishness.
That Mr. Cleveland is, in sporting par
lance, "playing for a position," is tho
general opinion of tho closest political
observers here, and that tho statement
published hero last week to tho effect
that ho had decided not to 1h a candi
date next year was merely a part of his
game to reel the pulse of ins party in
i
order to see what effect his recent silver
letter had had upon his prospects, is
equally patent. He has few friends
among the democrats in congress, many
of whom have stated in the most positive
terms that they would not support him,
but, of conrso these men will change,
their opinions if they find that their
constituents do not endorse them.
There is no longer any doubt about
the fate of tho free coinage bill, at this
session. It has been reported adversely
to the house by tho committee on coin
age and its most ardent friends havo
practically abandoned hope of its being
voted upon, and they aro vory bitter
against some of the democratic leaders,
whom they charge with having been
stampeded by Cleveland's letter. Tho
fact has leaked out too that senator Gor
man and a number of his political col
leagues iu the senate intended from tho
first that the bill should die in tho house,
and that thty only played a part, for
political effect, iu voting for it in the
senate.
A very interesting debate has been
going on iu the senate for a part of sev
eral days on the bill making the govern
ment the endorser of tho bonds of the
Nicaragua conal company to tho amount
of 8100,000,000. The opponents of the
bill seem to havo made tho best showing
in open session, but it id understood
that there are weighty reasons, for the
passage of tho bill which cannot at this

No improvements have been no mark-
so signally perfect in attainment in
theiast fow years, as tho numerous lux-
uriesXwhich have been introduced in
trans continental travel. Instead of har
rowing recollections the tourist now has
left to him when his journey is complet

rangements this winter for dining cars
on the Union and Southern Paeitis roads
is something far iu advance of anything

The American lilc:t
hat "Nothing is too good for me when

people demand, tho roads must supply,
and thus wo havo also tho most perfect
ly apppointed railway service in the
world. Tho traveler now dines in a
Pullman palaccdining car clear through
in his journey, from Council HlulTs and
Omaha to San Francisco, on tho Union
and Southern Pacific roads.

where it will rest for one hundred years.
There is another "0" ii hich has also come to stay.
It is unlike the llgure ! in our dates in the respect
that it has already moved up to first place, where
It will permanently remain. It is called the "No.
9" High Arm Wheeler A Wilson Sewing Macliine.
The "No. 9" was endorsed for first place by the
cs(crt3 of Europe at the Paris Exposition of 1S89,
where, after a severecontest with the leading ma
chines of the world, it was awarded the only
Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all
others on exhibit having received lower awards
of gold medals, etc The French Government
also recognized its superiority by .thedecoration of
Mr. Nathaniel Whe-Ier, Presidcntof the company,
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
The "No. 9" is not an old machine improved
upon, but is an entirely new machino, and tho
Grand Prize at Paris was awarded it as the graml
est advance iu sewing machine mechanism of the
age. Those who buy it can rest assured, there,
