We might flllttcolumnaof Tbb Pso ma with the report of a week’s pro ceedings, but the next issue might be very much the reverse.

From all appearances a prohibitory liquor law will be certainly passed. We cannot now guess how stringent Its provisions will be. There seems to be a good chanoe for the adoption of a new system of county government, a new rsUroad law and one to revlsa the exist ing Congressional Districts. At this writing nothing has been done pahUely with regard the eefnndfng of the State debt that will mature next summer.

That la the number of, persons draw ing pensions from the Halted States for services on ike Union side during the late war between (be States. Great as that number Is It grows six days In every week. Within the last year 1H0,- •un pensioners were added to the rolls, and If the Rennbltean party bed been eoetinned In power the recruiting would have gone on at quicker speed. Daring the first yeer ef Mr. Harrison’s administration the estimate for peo- •looer* was IflB.IOOjOOO. Ten days ago the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Charles Foster, sent In hit estimate fixing the requirement for pensions for the next fiscal year at in addition to this a deficiency of $10^09^ Ml Is asked to meet the requirements ef the fiscal rear that ended dune SQth. Secretary Foster estimates that the peosloa demands will soon reach MftO,- ouo.noo a year. The attribution of this pension money Is confined almost entirely to the Morth. Occasionally a wandering soldier or stray negro teamster In the Hooth draws monthly largess, but the amount that this section receives does not amount even to a drop In ibe back- •t. We don’t know what Mr. Cleve- bmd’s administration will do with this wholessl# looting of the National traaattry, and we bare no advloe to offer them. It Is no wonder that the President elect Is appalled at the task before him. Many people are looking for tariff reform anda general easing up of hard times Immediately after Mr. Cleve land’s Inauguration. They are In no waiting, patient humor, and If tbelr over hasty expectations are disappoint ed they will be eager to seek revenge under the Third Party flag, l^e com mence this early to counsel all these to the exercise of reason and judgment. There may be, as we see things, some cheese paring economy In other gov ernmental expenditures, but there can be no solid substantial financial reform until the pension rolls arc revised and the pension system reconstructed on proper principles. And we have faith to believe that the best people of both great political par ties will agree that the safety as well as the prosperity of the nation demand that all who are unworthy of Ibis gift of the government shall be muttered out of eenrioe at the public crib.

For instopcu, a marquis’ daughter who married a man without a title keeps the title of “lady" and her own ChriaMaa name and adds to theae the husband’s surname.

The Germans have some educational Mens which we In this country have bor rowed with profit and there are still others which wu might bo wise to adopt. Among them no doubt are the wall maps of different species of pestiferous weeds, which hang m schoolrooms where the children can see them as long as they go to school. A practical idea underlies the display ing of these maps. It is well knewn that farmers are prone to treat all weeds alike, and hardly to observe any differ ence between them, whereas the natures of weeds differ up much aa the natures of other plmtiU do, and the sort of treatment which will exterminate one will sometimes increase nnd multiply another. - . It is important therefore that the fann er and gardener should understand the weedr which they are trying to extermi nate. It Is here that these German wall maps some in.

Both are poisons, and both of organic origin, but a venom is produced in secreting organs, com monly called poison glands, and is intro duced into the system by means especial ly adapted for the purpose, such as stinga or fangs.
