The Hxrald has ever since the suc
cession of the present Democratic ad
ministration, argued that the greatest
reformatory work was to be done in
the pension department of the United
States, and It will always-continue to
use its Influence to that end.
The Republican pension thieving
method has placed upon the American
people a burden never before known
in a civilized world, and one that has
worked more to the depletion of the
Treaury than all things else com
bined.
It is an Indisputable fact that fig
ures are arduous and that a complica
tion of facts manifest only by groups
of nine nnd ten flgures arc hard to
comprehend, so much so that the cas
ual reader cannot grasp their mean
ing and magnitude.
But, to illustrnte the unjustness of
the pesent Republican pension system
we are going to give a few figures,
anyhow.
First, let’s see how the union pen
sion roll has increased within a decade.
In 18N0, the total number of pension
ers on the roll was 250,802, nt a cost of
$57,240,510.14. Five years later, in 1885,
there were 845,126 pensioners nt a cost
of $85,81)8,700.72. In 1890 the list had
gradually increased until there were
587,044 at n cost of $100,498,890.10. But
It was In 1892 that the'great pension
fraud name to light. In thnt year the
total number of npplloations Hied In
the pension ofllcc was 198,845 anil the
total number of applications allowed
was 224,047. Just think of that! Over
25,000 more pensions allowed than
were asked for, showing a clean steal
of over 2,500,000 of the people’s money
under Commissioner Kanin’s reign
during the Harrison administration.
In this aanie year—1802—there were
878,068 pensioners who cost the United
Slates $111,086,048.84. Since 1861 In
cluding the widows of those soldiers
flrst killed In war, the union pensions
have aost the government $1,418,848,-
2lV01.
These flgures lire treniendnoiiH, but
they give a true insight to one of
tho greatest political frauds ever
known. Of course, the Hichald is not
opposed to giving pensions to Indigent
union soldiers or tho widows of those
soldiers killed in service, hut it Is not
right that Georgia or any other State
should pay its share of pension money
to a lot of unscrupulous and thieving
politicians, and we believe that under
Secretary Smith’s guidance there w ill
be a clean sweep made and the great
swindle stopped.
A NEW ■•IIAHU.
During the Inst quarter of n cen’ury
lyniihliigH have been of frequent occur
rence In the South, tho majority of the
Vlutiiqs being Negroes, and for alike
period the Northern press have heaped
abuse upon the bends of the peuple of
the South for the summitry
manner In which lynch law lias
been administered, saying tlmt Hie
white people were to blnme noil tlmt
Negroes were nlwnys pounced upon
and given to that punishment whloh
smoked of barbarism. All this lias
been disproven long ago, nnd has be
come generally accepted at the North,
where, of recent date, their own peo
ple linve resorted to lynch law.
But wo arc now confronted by n
new phase of, and n dyoided departure
from, the usunl custom of Judge
I.ynoli, brought about by the very de
plurable circumstance nt Fort Gaines,
Gn. Never before, we believe, in the
history of the South have the Negroes
been known to take part in the lynch
ing of one of llicir color. in tliia in
stance they not only took part in n
lynching, but helped to burn one of
their raoe. It wna they who carried
fence rails nnd trnsh to form the fngots
Hint consumed their own blood nod
flesh. And they stood around and
shouted hallelujahs tucominingie witli
the surenms and moans of the unfortu
nate wretch.
IVhat can Hie Northern press say 01
this? If they Join the people of the
South in condemning such an atrocious
proceeding they will be compelled lo
censure the Negroes for whose deliver
ance from freedom they take unto
themselves so much credit.
No, the North cannot raise a howl
in this instance. The evidence is'
plnin, and thnt evldmc^ shows that,
the Negroes at Fort Gnines Imd more
to do with the torture of the unknown
Negro than tho whites, an incident
which furnishes a lesson for all mal
contents at the North.
What the United States doesn’t
want worse than anything else is any
ntora immigrants—that is, that class
which comes over here as paupers,
live as paupers, and help t. make
paupers out of what was ouce a con
tented laboring people. As Rev. Sant
Small said not long ago, in referring to
future immigration to this country,
the United States is like the little boy
who had been allowed to eat just as
many buckwheat cakes and syrup as
he wanted. Having devoured of his
favorite dish until he was loaded to
the muzzle, the boy's mother asked him
if he did not want more cakes. Tears
coursed down bis obeeks and he re-
f illed: “No-urn, I don’t want them I
s got.”
Many a Colonel who was on band at
Washington is now on foot.
tOHIIST DIMVIUMINATIOlf.
Speaking of the difference that Is
made between the morning and after
noon papers on rates of telegraph toll,,
the Atlanta Journal has the following,
which we heartily endorse:
The t-vo great telegraph companies
of the United States—the Western
Union and the l’ostal—are, in our
opinion, discriminating unjustly
against newspspers published In the
afternoon. These papers are charged
exactly double the rate which morning
papers pay for specials. A morning
paper nan obtain a leased wire from
any news center to its place of publi
cation for one-half the price oharged
afternoon papers.
Now, is not this unjust discrimina
tion? The telegraph companies under
take to justify this by saying that dur
ing the night Hie wires are not so busy
as during the dny. Is this a fact, how
ever? Is it true that tn the daytime
the wire? are engaged all the while?
If so, ought not the telegraph compa
nies, enjoying the great franchises
which they have, to put up new wires
in order that the great papers of the
country, which are published in the
daytime, may be accommodated witli
the news at the same price as morning
papers?
It will be remembeJbd that during
the Harrison administration, I’ostmns-
ter General Wanamnker was strenu
ously working all the while for goV'
ertimontnl control of the telegraph
companies. So far ns our knowledge
goes, no newspnper of any conse
quence sustained him in his effort.
The afternoon papers of the United
States are growing in number and
importance. They are powerful nnd
influential. The question is, will they
submit much longer to such unjust
discrimination ns the telegraph com
panies have placed upon them? •They
are certainly entitled to equal consid
eration with the morning papers and
should enjoy all favors that are ex
tended to those publications.
A STotiY comes from Missouri which,
in rnmnnee, rivals the great novel
“Ootaroon,” Two years ago, J. M.
Shattuok, a United States army officer
met and fell in love with Miss Annie
•Brown, a beautiful young girl of Si.
Josephs, It was a ease of lovo at flrst
siglil; court.,ship followed, ami they
were to linve been mnrried Inst week.
But, a few days beforehand, the young
officer discovered that his intended
bride was Hie daughter of colored par
ents, though white herself. The wed
ding has been declared off, nnd both
parties are now nursing broken hearts.
Col. Pod Dismukk got mixed up
’witli Sid Phelun, the bucket shop man,
who had hrnuoli offices nt diflercnt
points in Georgia, up to nbout two
years ago, when the Legislature
knocked the bottom out of the whole
husinuss. Phelan lmd an office at
Griffin, nnd when his well remembered
failure occurred lawyer Dismuke was
retained by some of his fellow-citizens
who had been dealing In futures to
prosecute the bucket shop man. Phe
lun is now lending n quiet life on a
farm near Atlanta, but It seems thnt
he Ims been laying for l’od, ami now
tlmt the Intter Is on the anxious Bent
at Washington waiting for appoint
ment to the United Slates Marshalship
for the Northern district of Georgia,
the quundotn bucket shop mail makes
a vigorous attack on him in a card in
the Atlanta Constitution. Phelan is a
sharp fellow, and Ims evidently let out
to pester Col. Pod as mooli as possible.

credit upon the Central City, and is
