How few^fli^i* m of tfto*e who so nftpn speak of th« enormous pxpendl- Mire of tlie pension roll, that know anything In reality ot what they are talking They simply read that during last year there was paid for pensions #64,933.288, and It looks gigantic to them. They do not have a thought as to whom that amount Is paid, nor In what small sums It Is doled out.' They do not go back to the great looses In battle, nor do they think of the fact that In fifteen battles alone, there were 105 626 union soldiers w uint'ed to say nothing of the .1 636 other battles, for there were 21.000 different engagements during tlie late war. so that it is esti­ mated that there were 900,000 different wounds incurred in service, nor do they remember the heroism of these brave men who refused to be discharged, but wfer.t back to their servic&. Then IT they would look tp-the fact that 183 000 men died of- disease In service, anil at the final discharge of over 1,000.000 men at the close of the war In 1865, but very few were well men, and besides, there Were durins the war, and before the close, 912.043 men discharged for casmalMes of all kinds, and of the 2.320.272, which was the total of all reduced to a three years service, then hive only 355,038, less than one fourth, yet applied for a pen Mon, lees than three*flftlis of the carn­ alities, to say nothing of the 1,000,000 discharged In 1965, exhausted, >vorn out. prematurely old, never to be their former selves again, mS3*>*r there are BO few--not that so many apply for pensions. No one. I thlnfc. will for a moment deny to a widow the pittance of t8 a tnonti for the privilege of spilling her hu> andV blood upon an unfriendly soli, there­ fore let us take tnis invalid pension roll of to-day, and we find that only 244,201. of this entire 2.230.0000 soldiers are drawing pensions, and what do they draw? Why 1 260 get tl a month. 24.134 get §2 a month, 2.956 ge' $3 a month. 60.268 get f4 a month, almost one-fourth of thp entire roll; 1,647 get #5 a month. 34.636 u*t W a mon'li. an*' • lien there are o'hers gettin*: $1 87 and 92 12 and 92 50. so tiriit 129 608 g- i • roni $6 down to 91 a month.

And still I assert what 1 know to be a tact, and there are thou»an-ls to-day deriving less than twelve dollars a month, worse oft than If they had lost an arm or a leg. Tbeu there are 834 who draw $50 a month, who are bed-ridden and help­ less, and 930 who get 972 a month, aui st re those who have lost both hands, both feet, or are totally blind.

Why Paper* are Bidden. Tne apologists for the President do not iucrease In number. His claim that papers In public filei are private property, his deliberate choice to sufler foul slanders to rest upon faith­ ful officers of the Government rather than to avow his own use of the public service for partisan ends, naturally meets the enthusiastic approval of the traitorous Times, which. Itself fond of vilifying worthy men, considers the role of slanderer more praUworthy in the President than an admission that he is not the "Reformer" It has called him. But the World tells the Presi­ dent that he has no business to "put his.private, coufidential papers upon the flies of the Department." The Skin suggests that "the White House stove would seem to be more appro prlate than the public flies* for papers he dees not want soen. It adds the obvious truth that "when he places a paper In a public office, his own act stamps the document of public Im­ port." Thus by Democratic uanda on- subterfuge after another is stripped oft. The President's real difficulty mat as well be understood. The public flies, in relation to most of the officials he has removed, show that there are tbeolutely no charges against them, except the charges that they are Re publicans. But that is not all. Those same public files disclose how the re­ moved officials actually conducted their business, and how faithfully rhey performed their duties, both be fore and^ <tfter the Inauguration of % new President, and that they were exceptionally worthy and useful men Thus they prove,not merely that there was no just cause for removal, but that, except for dirty partisan work, these were just the men the President should have desired. That Is the reason the President does not dare to have the public files examined It would not help him to pasa himself oil as a reformer. Iff the papers drawn from official flies should prove tha? a mau removed had been commended by all his superiors, and especially by President Cleveland's own Cabinet officers, as exceptionally faithful and ffficldut. It would not help the Presi­ dent to have the record of those men contrasted with the conduct of many of the political strikers he has ap­ pointed. President Cleveland doe* produced, because they would prove that, not In a few Isolated instances only, but in most of Ids removals, he has been falee to his own pledges and profession? and fa'se to public iuter -»sts.--JV. Y. Tribun t. another Cabinet Scandal. Another scandal in the Cabinet Is paid to be waiting exposure Major Thomas Re tdington. of N"»w York. In an interview pr'nted In yesterday's New York Herald savs fhe accepted a place in the Interior Department Is a 'ailroad expert after much persuaslo'i; •hat be discovered irregularities in connection with tne govrnmental management of the Pacific railroad, which he at once reported, whereupon lie was tummarily removed from hi* place by Secretary Lamar. Major It il 'ingion declares: " The railroad iiflu>*n«res in the Cabinet arrayed themselves against me," and he adds, "there is a sc-mdal as large as the Oedit Mnhilier. hut of a d'flerent kind, sti l linking behind the-had w ofthe Governmental management Oi the Part'"- railroads." Ex-('ot)|{res8maii Ellis vouches .for the upright character of Major Red- dington and for his standing as a rail­ road expert. Secretary Lamar ex plains that Reddingtnn was removed 'or revealing the secrets of his office to stock-brokers. Following on the heels of the Gar land scandal and the accusations against Secretary Whitney in connec­ tion with the Broadwav Railroad scheme, this new revelation will still further shock those who have tried to have confidence In the character of the AdministrationAlbany JV. Y. Even­ ing Journal. March 1st. Dr. Pasteur, who has been ao successful tu his treatment of hydro* phobia *>y inoculation, hopes that he can treat diptherla and other diseases efleetively by a similar method Diohtheria being a filth disease it is quite likely that it is spread by means of germs. If, therefore, an attenuated germ sbould be introduced into the ays tem, it is possible thttbeneficial result would follow. Tue deaths from hydro­ phobia are Insignificant In number compared with those from diphtheria. Should the doctor's new experiments succeed he will have made a discovery of more value to the world a thousand told than on which his present reputa­ tion is based.--Ex. #0T A mem er of a school committee n New Hampshire wa* examining-a class, when ha happened to ask, "Can any scholar give the definition of the word 'average' ?"

St Patrick's plaos and date of natlr* lty are shrouded in mystery, but tfco most reliable authorities make II ap­ pear that he first saw the light of dsy on the 17th, day of March, 386, ottbar in Boulogne, !n aorthern Fracas, or near Glasgow, Scotland. Hit baptis­ mal name waa Succoth, which ateans brave in battle. Vary little Isknowa about his early ye irs, and in fact his entire history Is largely conjeofuraL It IJ supposed that he wis a prisoner In Ireland from the yetr 403 to 400, and that he returned to his native land, where lie remained until 432, when bo returned to Ireland as a missionary, which al that time was inhabited by numerous warlike and barbsrinus daas. How long he labored as a missionary among them Is not known, bnt that ho succeeded In revolutionising the island by Christianising Its Inhabi­ tants Is conceded by historians. This he accomplished by first converting ihe chlettalns and using them as in­ struments for reaching .the masses. The change wrought was so great lbs! the island soon became known as the "Island of saints." He died In the. year 465, universally ret-peeted, sad from that day to thi« bla name has been enshfine l in the hearts of every son and daughter of th« Gieen isle. He left an autobiographical oonfessioa tndwn epistle to Crotlus, which show him to have been an esrnest, simple- minded, practical man. a lover of bis kind and a true serv mt of God. As no man ever did so much for If#- ' land, and as his pure life and trusting faith have been like beacon lights to the storm-tossed and liberty-loving Irish people, it Is not strange that bo became their patron saint, and that OB each recti ring anniversary of bis birth Irish societies should celebrate It with processions, speeches and chnroh sMiSI* M es. ««t iis Subdued no Onw-Sty. •Almee, the vivaciius aetrsas, talis of an experience the had in Lonsrortb, Tex., wltli a real cow-boy." says the New York AM, "This fellosr opeas4 the entertainment by Isag^logSffJF She managed to get through the scene, and appealed to th« manager of the theatre for protection.
