TIIK governor ol Minnesota has do *
terminud to stop the ubimo of the par

application for pardon with the name
of all who sign it to bo published in a

was committed.
THK necessity of some immediate
action looking to the compulsory retirement
tiromont ot army ofl'icers is forcing
itaelf upon congress. The army at
present is top heavy with officers be
yond the proper ago for retirement
but for whom no provision is made on
the retired list , which is limited in
numbers and already filled. It is said
that the bill now pending in congress
which places the ago for retirement
at G5 years is favored by nine-tenths
of the ollicora in the service and will
probably pass.
THK statomcnt of the reduction in
the public dubt for the month of Jan
uary shows a decrease of § 12,978,830 , ,
which is nearly a half a million above
the average reduction of the last
seven months. From January Hist ,
1880 , to January 31nt , 1881 , the
total debt reduction was over § 13
000,000 , and if the present rate is
maintained , the current fiscal year
will show a rofluction of $149,000 ,
000. This rapid wiping out of the
national debt , if continued , would
entirely cancel the obligations of the
government in ten years. A quarter
of a century , however , must elapse
before our entire funded debt can bo
extinguished in accordance with th
terms of the original contract witl ;
the bondholders. The last install
inent of bonds will not become duo
and payable until 1007. This iuuo
is the funded GifiCs , bearing interest
at four per cent in coin , and amounting -
ing in tlio aggregate to § 738,708,550 ,
which turn is nearly one-half of tLu
entire .interest , bearing debt of ilui
ZJnited.fitatos.
TJIK memory of Missouri moubaelu
M very .deficient. .Now that Jay
i -Gould hasitaken pOBAocnion of about
i all the railroads running west aiul
/southwest from St. Louis , it is sud
denly remembered that the Missouri
constitution contains tluB.provisiui . :
No railroad .or other corporation , or
the le&Beei , purchasers oraiunagers of
any railroad corporation , ahull con-
oolidato the stock , property or fran
chise of such corporation with , or
lease or purchase the workior fran-
chitteiuf , or in any way control any
railroad corporation owning or having
under its control a parallel or compel-
inic line ; nor shall any oflicur of each
railroad corporation act as an otUcer
of any other railroad corporation own
ing or having control o ! a paraltal .or
competim , ' lino. ,
This BocttoH applies xliroctly to
Gould's recent railway grabbing oper
ations. Hu ha placed two great com
peting corporations under one man
agement and has made himself presi
dent of both. It i * safe to say that
the railroiul king's money will have
moro effect on the law makers of Mis
souri than a

merely legislate for Nebraska but for

The highest nim of a democratic gov-
rnment instituted by the people for
ho people , is to afford the greatest
oed to the greatest number.
The duties levied upon articles of

vcted by direct taxation. Tlio duty

uslrial development that has given
mplnymont to several millions of
killed mechanics and workingmen at
cmunorativo wages. The iron inter-

nnum. The total amount of capital
n vested in 1880 in iron and steel in-
uatrics in the United States was
230,971,881 , as against ? 121,772,074
1870 , or an increase of 80 per cent ,
f the whole amount invested in iior
a/id steel. Pennsylvania's share was
0 per cent. , Ohio 11 per cent. , Now
ork ! ) per cent. , Now Jersey and
lisBouri per cent. , and thu rcmain-
ig atatos and territories 30 per cent.
Even Nebraska can point to some
manufactures that tjirivu by reason of
ho tariff apart from the railroad ,
: ur shops and machine shops. Weave
ave nail mills , lead works , u shot
ixotory , Hafe factory , and other con
erns that employ hundreds of mo
ihanica and laborers. Went of us wo
uve a rail factory and rolling mill

beau iron industries are as yet only
n their infancy.
It is the manifest interest of
American farmers to fontorund oucour
go American manufactures , because
.liese industrial concerns ailbn
hem a profitable market for their
products nearer homo. This fact ha
.ong . since been demonstrated to the
atisfaction of farmers in 1'ennsyl
ania and Ohio , nnd more recently in
Indiana and Illinois whore
the growth of manufactures has
knocked the free trade fallacy in thn
head. "Nebraska farmers derive id-
nest as much benefit from inumifuc- '
tureti in Ohio und Pennsylvania as
tlio farmers of those stutos , because
the farmers of this country are
cinnpotitora in the world's market

The atatomont that the American

Mont of the articles American farm
ers use are manufactured aa cheap in
thii country as ihoy could be import
ed and those imported from foreign
countries are luxuries which few
American fanners make use of. For
inutanco watches , diamonds , silks and
velvets , paintings , etc. If any No-
bruaka farmer can't get along with AH

does nearly all the immigration from

Suppose this country should adopt
a free trade policy , which would put
American labor on a level with the
pauper labor of Kuropo and Asia ,
wlmt would bo the consequence ?
Would not the destruction of our
manufacturing industries bo followed
first by a gonorftl decline in property
values in our cities , nnd finally in a
decline of farming lands and farming

would Pennsylvania farms bo worth ?
And what of Illinois if Chicago was

THE BACK PENSIONSWINDLfe
Thirteen hundred and forty-seven
millions of dollars in ft quarter of n
century this is the price which the
American people nro called upon to
pay for that piece of congressional
demagogy called the arrears of pen-
sionB not. Of this enormous amount
ox-Commissioner Bontly estimates
that notmoretiinnsix hundred millions
will go to thoao who really deserve
the money. The rest will bo wasted
on swindling claim agents , botfiis sol
diers who ( need the smoke of battle in
Canada , and upon women who have
boon called upon to play the part ol
soldiers' widows in order .to bleed the
national treasury of its surplus rev

Hold or suffered from their onlistmcnl
into the service of their country , The
startling increase in the number o
pensioners after the passage of the nr
rearago bill nnd the inducement
which it hold out for perjury am
claim ugent swindling was proo
enough of the disadvantage at which
tho.government had boon placed b ;
the cowardice ot its legislators. The
bill to make
pensions retroactive was
introduced by a demagogue and sup
ported by both parties through fear o
losing the soldier vote The few moi
who had the courage to oppose the
measure as i gigantic swindle upoi
the treasury were denounced in publi
at ) deficient in gratitude to the defenders
fenders of the country , nnd the song
was taken up in chorus by thousands
of hungry claim ngcnts , until the passage -
sago of n steal of twice the dimensions
would readily have boon secured from
congress with the executive sanction.
It was under the same pressure that
later the bill for the pensioning of the
Mexican war widows and their sur
vivors was introduced. This measure
which goes into operations on June
M , 1888 , will take an additional § 51- ,
i 21l ( ( ( > from the treasury. The only
stone which seems to have boon loft
unturned on behalf of the pension
agents is the passage of a bill pen
sioning the grand children nnd great
grand children of soldiers of the Jluv-
elution by which a couple of hundred
millions in addition might judiciously
have boon extracted from tlio people.
It is high time that stops should betaken
taken to reduce those staggering fig
ures. The appropriation for the cur
rent year amounts to u tax of 81.50
on every man , woman and child in the
United States. The nation has denlt
gencrous'y with its bravo defenders ,
and it is still willim- do all that can
reasonably bo asked of it. It feels
the duty of' maintaining , in their de
clining years , its crippled soldiers and
of providing for the wants of those
whom it calls its wards. But its gen
erosity has boon most outrageously im.
posed upon by sharks , whoso first ob
ject was to line their own pockets
by fees , nnd who wore assisted in
their design by men too weak to voice
iheir real sentiments. Honorable
veterans are rising in protest against
the fcjfimoful steal which is being

The official figures of foreign immi-
ration into the United States fur the
; ar 1881 present noino facts , and
rcshadow the probability of others ,
! iat are really startling. The total
umbnr of immigrants that cnmo into
! io United SUtaa in the year Mas
li,000. ! During the latter part of the
ear , and especially in December , thu
ido was about fit per cent gnsitcr
lian during the corresponding periods
f 1880. The disturbed state ol Eu-
ope , and especially in Germany , from
'Inch about one-third of our foreign
niniu'rants como , makes it probable
lat the increase in 1882 over 1881
ill bo even greater than that of 1881
vor 1880 , and coiibequontly , that
tiring the current year wo shall re-
eivo considerably over 1,000,000 for-
ign immigrants ,
When we consider thnt in this
ountry the natural increase of pupu-
ition by the excess of births over
o.itlis doubles the resident populu-
'on in less then twenty five years , it
ill bo fiucn that it would require
nly about thirty years of the present
ullux of foreign population , together
ith their natural increases , to
mount to anumhurcqinl to thotot.il
rcsont population of thu United
'tales and territories , or about 50- ,
X)0,000. If lo this we add the na-
nrnl increase of the present popula-
ion at a rate of doubling every
wont3'-fivo years ( which is oven longer
, han it really requires ) , it would give
total population of not less than
(50,000,000 ( in 1912.
When wo think that it has taken
00 years for the accumulation of the
rcsont 50,000,000 of population in
.he United States , it seems t first
linost incredible that within thu life-
ime of the great majority of men
ow living the population will bo over
hrec times as yre.'it as now ; and yet
t seems almost beyond question that
his will bo thu case. Population m-
rooscs with such enormous rapidity ,
tot only in America , but in all parts
f thu globe , and especially where it
las the fostering influence of civiliza <
ion , that it is ono of the great puzzles
f human life to know what has thus
rar prevented every part of the world
"rom being overcrowded with
iiuman beings. In Europe , not
withstanding the loss of life by wars
ind epidemics , and all the de
crease of population by emigration ,
ho increase is enormous , In 183(1 (
he whole of Europe contained a little
over 200,000,000 of people. The
lame territory now contains over 300 , .
000,000 , thus showing that the aver
doubling period of European pop
ilation is about 100 years. England
doubles her population about every
fitly yearn , and Scotland in even r
ihortur period. The continental
ountrics all require a longer period ,
Spain , Franco , Belgium and Swedei
require a longer period than the conn
, riea further east - owing probably to
ho fact that population is already so
mpactod on the western eo.ist of Eu
ope that the difficulty of obtaining
ubaistenco checks the rapidity of the
ncreaso.
The history of the world shows m ;
uch great and persistent movement of
Hipulalation as that now i i progress
n this country , except that which
> verllowed from the north upon the
Ionian empire , nor can it be doubted
that thuro are plenty of men now liv-
ng who will witness Rb momcutous re'
suits in the history of mankind fron
he present movement of population
o America , as wore experienced from
similar causes in the fifth and sixth
centuries. These resulto , however ,
ivhilo quito us important , will neces.
, arily be of n totally different charac-
er. Instead of a barbarian horde
subverting an established civilizatioi :
113 then , it ia the movement of an al
ready civilized and cultivated people
into the hitherto unpeopled regions in
the centre of the American continent ,
to create there , within the next half
century , cities and improvements
population and industry equal to tha
n the centre of Europo.
