The increase during the past two years in the number of persons drawing pensions from the Government is shown by the astonishing figures here presented: Pensioners. Increase June 30, 1890... 637,944 June 30, 1891... 676,160 June 30, 1892... 876,063 During twelve months two hundred thousand new pensioners have been added to the already enormous list. Is anybody blind to the significance of this exhibit? If so, let them go back twenty years to 1872, when the war had been ever for seven years, and ing and injurious to himself, or the district or the sentiment he may represent. But a newspaper that is cautious and conservative and keeps abreast of the times is a tremendous power for the development and the presentation of any town of district having the good fortune to possess such an organ. The newspaper is close to the heart of the people among whom it exists, and it is a perpetual advertisement of its loyalty. While it is a fact some men could not create a representative newspaper anywhere, it is also a fact that the support given nineteenths of the country newspapers would give a Napoleon of journalism the blues. Strike a town that is giving its newspapers hearty support and you see one that is flourishing, with its merchants and businessmen prosperous, and things on a regular little boom. Find a town with a crushed and starving paper, with advertising bills and subscriptions unpaid, and you find a town with that disease which an expressive term denotes as "die back," and the business men who support a paper like this will tell you their paper is "no account," and it isn't. When you advertise in your paper you do something more than present your goods to the world. You assist in maintaining an institution which is a standing advertisement to the whole world of your town and its advantages. Every dollar that you invest in newspaper advertising is returned in various ways more than tenfold. If you wish your town to prosper stand by your newspaper and it will stand by you. Columbus Postage Stamps. One of the ways the United States Government will commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus, and the holding of the greatest fair the world has ever known, will be by the issue of a complete new set of postage stamps, which will be on sale only during the year 1893. When that year is past, the present issue of postage stamps will be resumed. Every postoffice in the county will have the stamps on sale early next month.

The increase during the past two years in the number of persons drawing pensions from the Government is shown by the astonishing figures here presented: Pensioners. Increase June 30, 1890...657,944 June 30, 1891...676,164 June 30, 1892...676,063 During twelve months two hundred thousand new pensioners have been added to the already enormous list. Is anybody blind to the significance of this exhibit? If so, let them go back twenty years to 1872, when the war had been ever for seven years, and every just claim upon the Government's bounty had presumably been presented and allowed. In that year, 1872, Gen. Garfield, speaking to the House of Representatives, both as a legislator and a veteran of the Union army, declared that the pension list was then "swollen beyond all account." "I am the last man," said Gen. Garfield, "to say a word against voting pensions to all persons who deserve them. But I wish to say to the House that more frauds are being perpetrated on the Government by claim agents in different portions of the country than from almost any single source." In that same year, while discussing the general financial situation, Gen. Garfield, as Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, expressed the opinion that "we may reasonably expect that the expenditures for pensions will hereafter steadily decrease unless our legislation should be unwarrantably extravagant." At the time when Gen. Garfield declared that the honest and legitimate pension expenditures of the United States Government had reached its high-water mark, and might be expected the after steadily to decrease, the number of pensioners of all classes, as shown by the Commissioner's report then last issued, was 207,495, and the aggregate of their pensions, $22,804,994. Twenty years later the number of pensioners has increased more than three hundred and twenty per cent, and the annual pension expenditures of the Government between four and five hundred per cent. The expenditures on account of pensions during the present fiscal year will use up every dollar of the appropriation of $144,-956,000, and occasion a deficiency estimated by Commissioner Raum at $10,500,000. The Commissioner's lowest estimate of the appropriation required for next year is $165,000,000. Competent judges believe that the Fifty-third Congress will be called upon to vote pension appropriations exceeding two hundred millions annually. These figures stagger the imagination. Thirty years after the close of the civil war we shall be paying a million pensions, or as many pensions as there were soldiers in the Union army at any one time during the war. We shall be paying, on account of a war closed more than a quarter of a century ago, a sum of money three times greater than the total annual expenditure of the United States Government at the time when the war began. But this is not the whole story. Behind the army of 876,063 pensioners there is a reserve force of about half a million claimants waiting for the machinery of the Pension Bureau to "judicate" their claims under existing laws; and the Pension Bureau is mustering them at the rate of two hundred thousand a year. And behind the reserve force of actual applicants, whose claims are on file at Washington, there is still another reserve, an uncounted army waiting only for the passage of new laws extending the scope of the Government's Columbus Postage Stamps. One of the ways the United States Government will commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus, and the holding of the greatest fair the world has ever known, will be by the issue of a complete new set of postage stamps, which will be on sale only during the year 1893. When that year is past, the present issue of postage stamps will be resumed. Every postoffice in the county will have the stamps on sale early next month. The stamps are to be known as the Columbus issue. They have been designed by some of the finest artists and engravers in the world. They represent scenes in the first voyage of the great admiral to these shores. For instance, the one cent stamps have a picture of Columbus coming in sight of land; two cent stamps represent Columbus landing; the fours present a view of the fleet of Columbus; and the five cent stamps show Columbus before Isabella. The full set runs from one cent up to five dollar ones, and will always be preserved, as will the Columbian coins also issued by the Government, as momentous of the great year 1893 in America. A Herald of the Infant Year. Clip last thirty years or more from the century, and the segment will represent the term of the unbounded popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The opening of the year 1893 will be signaled by the appearance of finance of the Bitters in which uses, description and attention are thus world-famous medicine will be lucidly set forth. Everybody should read it. The calendar and astronomical calculations to be found in this brochure are always astonishingly accurate, and the statistics illustrations humor, and other reading matter rich in interest and excitement.

Saved From Death by Onions. There has no doubt been more lives of children saved from death in group or whooping cough by the use of onions than any other known remedy; our mothers used to make poultices of them, or a syrup, which was always effectual in breaking up a cough or cold. Dr. Gunn's Onion Syrup is made by combining a few simple remedies with it which make it more effective as a medicine and destroys the taste and odor of the onion. Fifty cents.

Power of the Newspaper. The press of the Union is fast becoming the mouthpiece of public opinion, but while the newspaper is the spokesman, it has also much to do with shaping public opinions. And it will be found that the different views on public matters entertained in this country are to a very great extent the reflex of opinions as expressed in the newspapers. Hence the task of the editor is a difficult one, and he should be slow and conservative in expressing his opinions, which may through no fault of his own become misleading. Mr. Smith—I e-c-c-can't. Ideas are like beards—men never have any until they grow up, and women none at all. Elder Darkcloud—I moshun to appaint Brudder Simpson to tek up do kerleckshun!

A curious omission has been discovered by a San Francisco contemporary in what is called the Depot Act, which in a poll of 180,000 votes or more was carried at the late election only by a few hundred majority. Nowhere in it can be found any provision as to the kind of money in which the principal and interest of the $600,000 in bonds to be issued are to be paid. The implications of the Act are all favorable to the notion that gold coin is to be used. The State Treasurer for instance is to take out of the State Harbor fund every month $4,-631 and purchase United States bonds (not specified) for the Sinking fund, taking care however, to keep on hand the funds necessary to meet interest. The tolls collected by the Harbor Commissioners are mostly in gold, though there is nothing to prevent the NOBER 22, 1892. NUMBER 7 us to himself, or the district, but he may represent. But a is cautious and conservative of the times is a tremendfor the development and of any town of district and fortune to possess such an newspaper is close to the heart among whom it exists, and advertisement of its loyalty. not some men could not create a newspaper anywhere, it is the support given ninecountry newspapers would of journalism the blues. that is giving its newspapers and you see one that is flourmerchants and business men things on a regular little town with a crushed and with advertising bills and apaid, and you find a town case which an expressive as "die back," and the no support a paper like this paper is "no account."

But investors are not usually inclined to take a great deal of stock on assumptions. The omission to prescribe the money in which the bonds are to be paid is all the more striking from the fact that in what may be called the twin Act vested on at the same time—that is to say, the Act to refund the State debt—gold coin comes in case of principal and interest to the front. Thus we read in the last mentioned Act that the interest on the bonds proposed to be substituted for those now held "shall be payable semi-annually in gold coin on the second days of April and October in each year at the office of the Secretary of State." Then again the clause is encountered: "The principal of said bonds shall be made payable in gold coin within twenty years after the date of their issue." The question raised in relation to the depot bonds is a very complicated one in the financial sense. That the State would take advantage of a discount in silver to chest the holders of these bonds is not likely. But the Courts might interpose and deprive it of any option in the premises. If gold coin had been specified no change would be possible in the terms of the contract. French Tansy Wafers.

Estate of R. D. Cartis, deceased, certified copy of desire of settlement of accounts and distribution, one-half to Mary Curtis, and through the country from Reims, the towers of the grand cathedral of Notre Dame loom up, delying space when every other evidence of the city is lost in the horizon. This incomparable type of Gothic construction stands forth like a mighty sentinel to all the surrounding country. The vineyard men seem to reverence it, and to glory in referring to Reims always, not as the commercial but as the cathedral city of the province of Champagne. The vine lands in this area produce the whites, red and black grapes from which champagne is made, and yet these same roots planted beyond the confines of this district fail to produce grapes from which the high quality of wine, perfect in bouquet and flavor, can be obtained. Why this territory is so limited, why it may not be extended indefinitely are queries the agricultural chemist has left unanswered. Again, with all the care and attention given to the cultivation of the grape here, it is impossible, from year to year, to attain anything like uniformity in the quality of the harvest from the same vines. The season, with its variety of rain and wind and sun, seems to be the potent factor. The fertilizers used on the soil and the caro bestowed upon the vines are second to that mightier power. In some years the harvest is so inferior that the wine made is either saved for blending with later vintages, or bottled and sent out under a label invented by, or bearing the name of, some dealer who purchases the entire vintage. Even in the best years some portion of the harvest will fall so far below the required standard that its product can only be labelled and sold as a cheap or rejected wine. There is no doubt, however, that the champagne houses of France, after learning something of the nicety of the palate of their customers, cater accordingly. The English taste is said to be the beat, the most exacting, and to be satisfied only with the top of the vintages. In fact, there is no first-class hotel or restaurant in England which would pretend to print its champagne wine list without naming the year of the vintage. On this list one will never find the off-year vintages—those in favor for the past ten years being 1880, 1884 and 1887. Real Estate Transfers.

Sold at 25 cents a box at Reid's drug store. Mrs. Harriet W. R. Strong has made quite a financial success raising pampas plums on her ranch in Whittier, Los Angeles county. She has a place of 220 acres, of which 150 acres are sat out in walnut trees. Between rows of these pampas plumes are grown. Before Mrs. Strong went into the business the plumes which were sold throughout the world came from South America, and while people admired their graceful beauty, they were very unsatisfactory for ornamental purposes, owing to the fact that the feathery plumage soon dropped off. It was not until Mrs. Strong began raising them on a large scale that a successful effort was made to find some means of obviating this. To Mrs. Joseph Sexton of Santa Barbara is due the credit of first discovering the curing and preserving process which is now in successful use. As it is now, when the plumes leave Mrs. Strong's curing establishment they have been so treated that they may be handled practically, without danger of injury. From the very beginning Mrs. Strong has been very successful in finding a market for her wares in Europe, and the special object of her efforts just at present is to increase the American demand. In this she is meeting with encouraging success. Last year Mrs. Strong raised 2,000,000 plums, the crop during the present year being 1,750,000. Of these, 100,000 were sold in this country for use during the campaign and 650,000 were disposed of in Europe. The remaining 1,000,000 were reserved for use at the World's Fair, 10,000 being needed for the interior decorations of the California building alone. In his biennial report to the Governor, State Treasurer McDonald makes some recommendations, which if carried out, would undoubtedly prove of practical benefit to California. He thinks it would be well to repeal the law allowing percentages for tax collecting, as computations are complicated unnecessarily since the abolition of the foe system. He recommends that the two or three million dollars lying idle in the State Treasury be loaned out as an aid to the business of the State, as well as some profit to the Treasury. Again, the State is out several thousand dollars each year from shipping school mummy up to the capital and then in a few weeks shipping it back to the several counties. A change to a more business like method is desired. It is urged further that irrigation bonds should be added to the list of securities in which school funds may be invested. Mr. McDonald has made irrigation a study for years and has given especial attention to the district system. He believes irrigation bonds one of the best class of securities offered as an investment for school funds. It should Be in Every House. J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharpburg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Cougain and Colds, that it cured his wife who was threatened with pneumonia after an attack of "La Gripe," when various other remedies and several physicians had done her no good. Robert Barber, of Cookson Park, Pa., claims Dr. King's New Discovery has done him more good than anything he ever used for Lung Troubles. Nothing like it. Try it.

A recent London dispatch brings information of the sale there of 4,000 out of 9,556 boxes of Florida oranges, shipped by the steamer Ethelwood from Fernandina, Florida, November 17th. This steamer was the first to carry to England direct a cargo of Florida oranges, the object of the attempt being to provide an outlet for domestic oranges in European markets. The Ethelwood encountered very rough weather and in consequence was obliged to close her hatches and this caused a good part of her cargo to land in an unsound condition. Out of 4,000 boxes sold, 2,600 were sound, and these sold at $2.45 @ $3.50 for bright fruit. Russets selling at $1.50 @ $2. About 700 boxes in an unsound condition sold from $1.75 @ $2.50. The remaining 700 were unsound and sold from 50c. @ $1.75. Considering the condition of the cargo and the condition of the English orange market, which is at present supplied with oranges from Brazil, Valencia, and Jaffa, these results are highly satisfactory to all concerned and will settle the question of the practicability of shipping cargos direct.
