It would be interesting to knoy how many pensions are paid to day to parties who arenot- legally en titled to them. The system is evi dently rotten "from maintruck to keelson." We have not one word to say against pensioning those whose honorable wounds entitle them to relief but there are prob ably a great number of cases where fraudulent pensions are. paid. We see an instance stated of a "wo man who is drawing a pension as a widow while her husband is still alive. Application at tho Pension Office for information on this point was flatly refused, the natural inference being, therefore, that it is a true bill. - The blood is the source of health.

Raleigh News and Observer says: "We were glad to meet in this city yesterday Mayor Fowler,-of Wilmington. He is the progressive mayor of a progressive city. He informs us that Wilming ton is making arrangements to put in a first class sewerage system and he is here for the purpose of exam ining the Raleigh system now being constructed. Mavor. Fowler, in company with Prof. Ludlow, in spected our system yesterday." There is something, we think, a little too previous in this. A really complete" system of sewerage, would cost, we understand, something like $100,000. This money can.be had only by increasing the already large debt of the city and on a vote of the people and we do not think that the taxpayers here are willing to aa suiue any more burdens just now. Do you think the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy would offer, as they have done for man J' years, a standing reward of $500 for a Case of Catarrh which they cannot cure, if they did not positively know that the Remedy will absolutely and permanently core Catarrh. ; Sold by, druggists, at only 50 cents. - T :0:- A Cold "Wave Coming, v . .
