Among Our Exchanges. The pension list has passed the million mark. The Baltimore ?un says. "Thirty three years alter the close of the civil war there are on the pension rolls 1,040,356 dependents upon the bounty of the Government. According to Commissioner Evans's report more pen^P^sions were granted from June 30, ' 1898, than in any year Irom iM?n to 1880. It is so easy to get one's name enrolled upon the list of those to whom the Government gives peusions that it is not probable the limit has even yet been reached." If those who enlisted in the war with Spain , it is added, find it as easy to pet pensions as the persons who are now receiving such bounty 100,000 ot them will be added to the list within the next thirty-live years.?News and Courier.

The diplomats of Europe are such a remarkable gang of rascals that they are not likely to consider in good faith the note cf the Czar sug . 1 J l: ... c ges'llig a general reuueuuu ?i uguiing forces. The truth is, several of the powers are propped on bayonets and need armies to repress their own people more than to fight others. All who have at heart the advancement and happiness of the human race ought to unite in the hope that the Czar's suggestion however it may be intended, will prevail. The present system requires an enormous waste of manhood and money every year and forces a frightful burden on industry aud commerce.

If somebody should come along with a note urging a general reduction of the pension list, we would probably think it over seriously. The bulk of the cost of onr wars comes after they are finished. ?Greenville Daily News. The Savannah News thus illustrates what a grip the trusts have on the business of this country. "From the cradle to the grave mankind in this country is the quarry of trusts. Upon his ad vent into the world they hail him with a smrarteat made of trust sugar and trust condensed milk, to be partaken of through a trust rubber nipple. As he grows up he burns the trust midnight oil studying trust school books. The trusts lurnish him with beef, and Jartl, and cigarettes, and tobacco, and matches, and leather goods, - and rubber overshoes, and pencils, and erasers, and whiskey, and crackers and a hundred other things, and when he dies, he is buried in a trust coffin. The next thing in the trust line would seem to be a trust in gravestones, and then in harps for the beyond. GO ST ACS1 ! CASH MFOR si A.
