, Thi Easily of Oar Ptariea 1M. 4 n cost of pensions in this country for the current year will be Ter$87,QQ0,00a, This is $21,000,000 more than the entire' net ordinary expenses of the govenrment in the year before the war. It is $60,000,000 more than tbcLCoet of pensions thirteen years after the close of the war when, un der, the operation of natural laws, the list would, hate begun to de cline. The increase in pensions since the close of the war is within $14,Qp0,000of the yearly diminution 'in the interest upon the public debt within that time; so that, as a charge- upon taxpayers, the' enor mous war debt has for the most part merely changed its form. As bonded, it wonkl all belaid in 1907. As represented by pensions, it will run on indefinitely. The pension list for the United States costs this year within $3,000,- 000 as much as the annual cost of the standing army of Great Britain and witbin $18,000,000 as much as the enormous standing array of Germany. And there will be no halt in piling it on so long as the surplus holds out and pension agents can make fortunes and demagogues gain Totes by the indiscriminate voting away of the people's money. New York World. Bia Uegro and the Franchise We have not accomplished any good to either race by conferring upon 1,500,000 negroes the privilege of voting. Its effect is only to neu tralize the same number of votes that would otherwise be cast with reference to the general welfare and prosperity of the -rntry. it is needless to recall theTKlstory of the race contests . that have pervaded the ballot-box under this mistaken policy. The facts are present in every election to establish the ex istence of this national misfortune. Unless the voter can sink his race proclivities and aversions in his sense of duty to his country, it is in vain that we endeavor to compel by Jaw the harmonious action of the white and negro races, either in vo ting or in conducting the govern ment. This impossible condition is hidden in the core of the negro ques- , Quip! cf till Clowns. ; Montreal had better put its ice palace in a refrigerator. It's going to be a hot summer.

They object de scendants from monkeys. But not even a baby objects to Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Here is a chunk of solid sense from "old Duplin." The Roekfish Alliance declares that persons con victed of crime who are unable to pay costs and fine be required to work out the same on the roads, in stead of being confined in jail at cost of the tax-payers. It further de clares that all able-bodied insolvent tax-payers be required to work out the amount of their taxes on the public roads. Greensboro Patriot.
