Tho tirt irrcat exposure of pen sion vinIlers .-liows vh:it can !i' done by sin enterpri-iiHr pcnion shark. That Norfolk lawyer, W. lu Drewrv, who lias Ieen makinir a snutr sum out of the applications for pensions which he has sent to the department since the passage of the arrearage of pensions act, lias been lirousrht up with si short turn by the present Administra tion. Of the applications this one man has sent in, M were frranted, sm.l of this nuniler i per cent were fraudulent. This is ;m illus tration of how easy it has been in times pat to secure si pension, no matter how undeservimr ihe appli cant may be Such cases as the one mentioned sibuve are not uncommon, and it is against such wholesale robbery of the Treasury by the pension sharks lha! has opened the eyes of the men who really deserve pensions to the d:irinr wronir. The Adminis tration has a work before it which is one of the most diilieult that hsis ever been attempted by smy Ad ministration. Indeed, if tin? pre sent Administration succeeds in only making a ler"mriinr in the work of puririmr the pension rolls of the names that have' been iile irally placed thereon it will have siccomplished si herculesm task. The shark who perpet rates these frauds upon the Government se lects sis his abettors men and women of the most ignorant diameter, people wlio will swear iaisciy 10 their own smd their friends claims. The pension examiners are deceived by the false oaths, and havinir inside the start, the conscience of these swindlers does not prick them w hen they continue to swesir false ly at each quarterly payment of their illegally acquired pensions. One jrresit difficulty thsit lies in the way of the Government in its work of making the pension lists a roll of honor is the fact thsit the veterans of war who know of the violations of the lsiw by the swin dlers, will not tsike it upon them selves to sicimaint the Pension De partment of the fmud in fear thsit they nisiy incur the ill will smd en mity of the frauds. Every veteran who knows that he and comrades like him, is entitled to si pension, should make it his duty to siid the Government in its work of purify ing the pension roll. MOULD'S FAIR TKOUULES. The Information that comes from Chicajro in reference to the linan cial outlook for the "World's Fair will make disairrecal le residing for those who look upon the Fsiir as an enterprise of national charsicter, and who, therefore, regard its suc cess as si matter of national pride smd honor. A few days sigo the carpenters quit work hecsiuse they had not been paid, and it now transpires that the great bulk of the employes and workmen have not received smy wages for labor performed during the last several weeks. This unfortunsite situation is explained by the simple state ment that the expenses have been unexpectedly hesivy, aggregsiting the enormous sum of I5,0ih) dairy, while the receipts have resiched only si fraction of that amount. The managers attribute the ab sence of paving crowds to the un favorable weather that hsis pre vailed silinost since the opening day, I mt there is resison to believe there are other and graver causes, chief among which is the apathetic interest which the American peo ple are nisinifesting in the Exposi tion. From sill parts of the coun try except the Northwest conies the intelligence that travel C'hicago- wsml is lighter than it hsis been f"i years. Eastern and Southern rail roads that have mside elsiborate and expensive preparations for si great volume of travel express the ut most surprise at their lack of pat ronage, smd report that there is no apparent enthusiasm over the Fsiir. This condition of atl'airs is un fortunate, smd if there is any reme dy it should be applied without delay. Inasmuch as Chicago was given the Fair upon the pledge thsit nothing should be left undone to nisike it a .success, smd sis Chicago will be the chief henifieiary of the event, the business men and capi talists of that city owe a duty to the rest of the country which they should not ignore. The money should be forthcoming at once, smd in sm amount sufficiently large to establish the responsibility of the Fair Company and to pro tect the jrooil name of the Aineri ea'i (iovernment sunl the American people. The people of the United States should not lie subjected to dium of failure, in any degree, by the unwillingness of Chicago to courageously meet the difficulties by which it is now confronted. The solid men of Chicago "owe sin obligation to the country, in this respect, which they cannot honora bly evside. N V TIONA M Al l I A L MATTERS. From our liepiilar Corro-l','li-',lt-J Y;SlUSiTOX, D. C, I May 20. 189:5. ( Men and brethren, hear ye all! This administration is going to be Democratic, in fact as well as in name. The overwhelming verdict of the people is to he obeyed, and no Republican is to be left in a place of responsibility. The pace towards this goal has n-t been precipitate, but it has been and will be steady and sure until it is resiched. Secre tary Creshsun took the lead, and there isn't more than one or two Re publicans left in important positions in the State Department. Secretary Carlisle is a good second, and it will not be long before sill or the chiefs of divisions of the Treasury Depart ment will be Democrats. Secretary Smith has begun to call for the re signations of the Republican chiefs of divisions in the Interior Depart ment and he proposes to keep it up until they are all out. Secretary Morton has not been behind in pro portion to the size of his department. Postmaster General Bissell has had to devote so much time to the selec tion of postmasters that he hasn't made very many c hanges in his de partment, but he will, as will Attor ney General Olney. and Secretaries Lamont and Herbert. Judge Lochren believes he will kill one of the principal roots of the pen sion evil by msiking the Medical boards which examine applicants for pensions entirely Democratic, in stead of allowing one Republican on each board of three as has been done. Speaking of this change he is quoted as saying: '-One of the things the Democrats have committed them selves to do is to sift as far as possi ble the rubbish which hsis been drift ing into this pension cesspool. The psirty has committed itself to reform in this matter, smd there is no better way to make a start than by having only Democrats on these boards.'" I do not state it sis a fact that Presi dent Cleveland has approved this ac tion of Judge Lochren. but it is hardly probable that such a radical change would have been announced by him unless it had been previously approved by the President. Mu -h more or less silly talk hsis been indulged in this week about the probability of a war with China, be cause of the Supreme Court having declared the Geary law constitution al. Needless to say neither the President nor Secretary Gresham have the remotest idea that there will be any serious trouble with Chi na. The Chinese minister told Sec retary Givsham that his government would not take any retaliatory steps, and that it would, as far as possible, protect Americans in China from any attack which the.' ignorant na tives might be disposed to make up on them. The Geary law will be enforced by the administration to as great an extent as possible with the means at its command, but the kick of suflicient appropriation to pay for their transportation makes it proba ble that no Chinese will be returned to China until Congress shall have decided whether it will appropriate the large amount that will be need ed sc.iM.in.oiM) ls ,,, ostimate to send the luO.lion who failed to regis ter in accordance with the Geary act back to China, or modify the law so as to allow those who are in the United States now. to remain. Ma ny Congressmen who voted for the Geary act have announced their wil lingness to vote for an amendment to allow, the Chinese now here to stay, in preference to appropriating the money necessary to send them to China. The oflicial contract by which the Cherokee Indians surrender their interest in the - Cherokee Strip"' to the U. S. Government was signed this week by Secretary Smith and the representatives of the Cherokee nation. The contract provides for the retention bv the government of ei.OCO.nuo to satisfy the claims of the Delawares, Shawnees. and the Freed- men. There sire vet to he received and approved the instructions for making the seventv allotments to Cherokees residing in the strip. which, under the recent opinion of the Attorney General, will have to be made by the Cherokees from the 140 applicants.

In the early part of the American war, one dark Saturday morning in the dead of winter, there died at the Commercial hotel, in Cincinnati, a young woman over whose head two and twenty summers onlv had pass ed. She had once been possessed of an enviable share of beauty; had been, as she herself said, ' flattered and sought for the charms of her face," but alas! upon her fair brow had been written that terrible word prostitute." Once the pride of re spectable parentage, her first wrong step was no small beginning' of the "same old story over again, "" which has been the only life history of thousands. She might have shone in the best of society. Rut the evil hour that proved her ruin was but the door from childhood; and having spent a young life in disgrace and shame, the poor friendless one died the death of a brokenhearted out- east. Among the personal eiteets was found, in manuscript, the beau tiful Snow," which was immediately carried to Enos. 15. Reed, a gentle man of culture and literary taste, who was at that time editor of the National Union. In the columns of that paper, on the morning following the girl's death, the poem appeared in print for the first time. AY hen the paper containing the poem came out in the morning the body A the victim had not j'et received burial. The at tention of Thomas Buchanan Resid, one of the first American poets, was soon directed to the newly published lines, who was so taken with their stirring pathos, that he immediately followed the corpse to its final rest ing place. Such are the plain facts c oncerning her whose " "Beautiful Snow" will long be regarded as one of the highest gems in American literature. Oil! the snow, the beautiful snow. Killing the sky and the eanh below, Over i lie housetops, over the street. Over the heads of the people you meet; Dancing llirling skimming along, lSeaut it'll 1 snow! it can do no wrong: Flying to kiss a lady's fair cheek. Clinging to lips in frolicksome freak: beautiful snow from heaven above, l'ure as an angel, gentle sis love. Oil! the snow, the beautiful snow. How the Hakes gather and laugh as they g hilling about in maddening fun; Chasing laughing hurrying by. It lights on the face, and it sparkles the eye. Ami iiie tlogs, with a bark and a hound. Snap at the crystals as they eddy around. The town is alive, and its heart is aglow To welcome t tie coming of beautiful snow. How the wild crowd goes surgingalong, Hailing each other with humor anil song: How the gay sleighs. like meteors Hash by, Hright for the nioinent, then lost to the eye. Hinging sw inging dashing tln-v Over the crust of the beautiful snow; Snow so pure w hen it falls from the sky, 'To bo trampled and tracked by thou sands of feet Till it blends willi the lilt 1 1 in the horri ble street. Once I was fair as the beautiful snow. With an eye like a crystal, a heart like its glow : Once I w as loved for my innocent grace Flattered ami sought for the charms (,f my face: Fattier mother sisters all. God and myself I have lost by my fall: The weariest wretch that goo-; shivering by, Will make a wide sweep 'est I wander too nigh. For all that is on or above me I know There is nothing so pure as the beauti ful snow. How .strange it should be that this beau tiful snow Should fall on a sinner with nowhere to go How strange it should be when night comes again If the snow and the ice struck my des- perate brain, Fainting freezing dying alone. Too w icked for prayer, too weak for a moan To be hoard in the st reels of the crazy town Gone mad in the joy of snow coining down : To be and to die in my terrible woe, With a bed and a shroud of the beauti ful snow. Helpless ami foul as the trampled snow, Sinner, despair not. Christ stoopcth low To rescue t lie soul that is lost in sin. And raise it to life and enjoyment again. Groaning bleeding dving for thee. The crucified hung on the cursed tree! His accents of mercy fell soft on thine oar. Is there mercy for me? Wilt he hear my weak prayer? (). Ood! in the stream thsit for sinners did llow, Wash me,and I shall be whiter than snow.
