The Washington Post, In re- ferlng to the fact that 00,000 men who enlisted for the-Spanish war have ap plied for pensions, thinks it will be well that the question of pensions for therd be raised at once aiid that this thc proposed raid on the treasurer should be stopped at the start. The Colum bia Record says it is noUTTng less than an attempt at a raid, for there can be ou possible reason wny that many men should be pensioned, for not one-half of them had ah'y actual experience in war and suffered no partieukve-hard- ship beyond the usual inconveniences and disagreeable features dfcatmrfr^L . fo ' than 20,000 men ity was (150 for the wholenumber, and oT them 243 were killed in luttle. Of the other deaths, the investigation of a commission soon- after |^ie''war showed that most of lh?m were for causes not brought on by reason of "anything resulting from enlistment in the army. There can then be no jus tice whatever in pensioning that vast army of “veterans" who have already applied, and all who will apply have not dgnc.so yet, and t he Post very properly has sounded the alarm and Insists that this propoKed“huld up" of the treasury shall be stopped.—It is doubtful, however, If the warning-ff?® will tie heeded, for In the matter of pensions aU government-otficers. state and^national, an- cowards.

Stories of the many great massacre*, which have lx*en occurring In Russia, are just beginning to arrive in this country from the newspapers of foreign lands. According to papers all these bloody outburst* against the Russian Jews were occasioned by the bitter condemnations of a Mr. Kreo- shvan,, editor of The Ik-se'rabiac, a newspaptjr- published In thq province of Beserahia. This paper, shortly af ter tlic second Holy EasteiJLof the Greek Catholic church, published a statement to the effect that a Jewish Jaoobsoq, tn()t) | m( ^ on (jg. spoiled the Michael Angelsky church, one of the most holy of the Russian churches.

Dr. Doroschewski, the head physi cian of the National Hospital at Klshneff, after examining the dead and wounded, has given the following specific instances of hideous cruelty in a dispatch from Kishineff, Bosarabiu, to the New York World: . 1 , "Jewess named Sara Fofiarschl was brought here with two nails seven inches long driven Into her brain through her nose. .
