Mr B- St George Tuckfr, of Virginia,
mulf « speech mMiy tith in the Housi
,.i It i r sentatives on the subject o
p. n.ions, whieh gro ins together a
C r,ai deal <f ver, valuable and inter-
estinif material. He showed that on
IUne-10, 1891, there wire 676,160 p n-
sioners on the rolls actually drawing
„ nsions, and that we paid
out for p:n»i< ns during the year
then ending $ 118,000,000. He also
? i,n\\ed that under the law as it now
<t mil-, th. re were on .lune 30, 1891
I per ons either living or en-
iitl. il by ri presentation to be on the
sion rolls, and of these l,o0S,457 as
meiiy as 928,4*3 had at that tune filed
their jipplioaiiona tobe p aced on the
rolls lie s al-d that lie had made the
calculations and that it would take
|h;2,771,390 annually to pay these 928,-
i;.i winn they should alt he admitted
to the rolls, which, added to the $118-
0d.i,0C0 already b ing annually paid out
ui Wes the annual. ggreg&te $281,000,000
that we have lo pa\ whi-n these 928.473
are admi ted, and, if all the res. of the
l,,'ij',h*>7 »re admitted, the annual ad-
uiticm will be $119,1)00,000, which will
make tl e annual pension list
$;ial 000,000 This is what
the pe p'e «f the United
States have to look forward to if the
pension hg'sMion nowon the S atute
li H.k is iair ed out to its logical risult.
there may be diminutions f om one
can-e and anot'u r, bu*, if (here is any
ju tie in the system of pecsioni'g it
must be in do to operate tqua’ly upon
all, and as there is this enormous body
ot p.'rs<us to hep nsioncd, accord i. gto
tletleory th t pr vails, when the
thing is equalise d we are bound to be
in fur a -um ve-y much like that named,
viz: $391,000 000 per annum, for 6ome
p rmd i.f lime. What the period is no
man has yit ventured to suggest 1‘ is
useless to say that many have died who
were entitled to be on the lists, and
that many will yet die It fore they are
put there Death has no hing whatev
er to do with the matter. It the rights
of t'.e part.es vested, the mouey must
be paid to their r p i se* tatives even if
they w- re unlucky ei oug i to die be'o e
their applications were ti’ed, if justice
is io be the rule. Mr. Tucker also show
ed that our revenues forayearor two,
at anv rate, are estimated by the Treas
ury Departmental a stm not muen ex-
c (ding $150,0 0,000. Since pemions
are going to eat up almost all of this,
win nee, is the enormous deficiency to
be raised? Since we are confronted
w ith this most disastrous situation, is it
not about time that the Amt rican . peo
ple should call a halt while they make
a britf examination iu’o .he questions

"The men, many of whom ‘toil not

the salvation of our country, as they
are pleased to cull it, by the prowess of

The Russian commander marshaled his
men. and then started, out on a hasty
march in the direction where the Aus
trians had been seen.
Had he overtaken the Austrians a se
rious and sanguinary encounter would
probably have been the result, but for
tunately for peace the Austrian com
mander had liis attention called by a
Polish peasant to the fact that he was
on Russia territory and theY turned
back, Just as they were crossing the
Russian troops weie seen advancing at
• double-quick, but before they got
within firing distance the Austrians
were on their own side of the line. The
Russian&acted as if they were disap
pointed, and their commander, after
placing a strong output at the point
where tl»e Austrians had crossed, re
turned slowly to Radzivilou.
The affair is regarded in Vienna as of
considerable significance, as showinf
the readiness of the Russians to seize
any pretext for hostilities.

Pease of Saratoga, a member of the
resolution committee, then presented a
supplement to the platform, the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That this convention approve,
indorse and point with pride to the admin
istration of Grover Cleveland, and we re
commend him to the Chicago convention
for nomination and to the Democratic par
ty and patriotic people of the country for
election again to the presidency. :
The convention was nearing a close,
and no provision had been made for
electors, but ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Fairchild, at this point presented d
resolution nominating the list of elect
ors named at the Albany convention in
February, and the resolution was adopt

A resolution of thanks to the citizens
of Syracuse was adopted for their hos

at 5:50 o’clock, p. in., the convention ad

in the noted Kiog murder trial has

the argument. His concluding remarks
were so feeling that King, for the first
time during tbs UHHpri his h*«£
