In Inimonv with it The cltv can own
Its own suppls ot gas, water, tieet

John Hums talks good piaetical sense
when he urges these Ideis us a woiklng

ie id on these Issues A little common
sense will bettle this fact at once and
heie It Is In a nutshell

That is how a pei capita debt is con

piollts that go to the coipoiatois, oi
as thes aie called, the stockholder who

hen the present administration began
Its work of hunting down the pension
finuls the "special examiners' division"
of Ihe pension ofllce Vvns detailed to do
the! greater pirt of the vvorki The sum
of $1110 0) had been appropriated for the
work ot this division and about llfts-llve
special examiners were Instructed lo ex
amine every case thoroughly for the pur
pose Of discovering anv suspicious rlr
cuinstan.ee In connection with the applica
tion for, the proof of, or the allotment of
a pension, The scrutiny seems to have
been rensonnbls eloe and rigid. At all
etihts nearlv 5,nm ease, 4,7ft" to be ex
act, were picked out as Justus Ing a sus
picion of fraud of some kind.
Uven If all oti these tiiscs had been
fraudulent, the fact would have icmnlneel
that out of more than 1,2,0,W0 pension
uies these flfts-flie examiners, with an
appropriation of il-WOm to nl.l them In
their work, discovered less than 4-10 ot
I per cent of pension eases to bev fraud
ulent Considering the sweeping character
jf the chuges made, the result would
have been to show that the Indictment
or the pensioners, while In some mcnsiire
Justifiable, was, nt all events, somewhat
exiiggerited and undtilv pessimistic.
However, ns It proved, most of the 1,76"
rases s. leeted by the examiners as likely
fo prove fraudulent Justified no such sus
plclon. It was eisv enoinih for the ex
aminers to charge nnd to tecomnicnd the
suspension of pension pisment In such
cases: but when n thorough Invcstlgitlon
was mule It w is discovered that In about
every case there was little Bood reison lo
thnrge the llenlonei or applicant with
wrong-doing. This appears irom the re
port of the pension otllco for the last llscal
scar and the statistics there given are
worths of the best attention nt those who
have denounced the pension ss stem ns a
gigantic fraud.
Out ot the 1,763 cacs selected as fraud
ulent bv the" penlon examiners, convic
tions resulted In less than , nnd or the
persons convicted twentv were notaries
and executing officers, thirty-two were nt
toiuess and sub-aBents and thirls -"even
were wltnessis nnd other poisons not pen

fraudulent Impersonators ot clilmints ind
pensioners and eleven Impostors. Hut of
solldlers and widows, of pi nsloners or ap
plicants for pensions, only thlrts-nlnc
were discovered to be guilt v of fraud up
on the government. Out of more thin
l.KOty-O pcnsloneis or applicants for pen
sions, less than forty were convicted of
fraud by this force of llfts-llve speclil ev

Nova Scotia timber lands, together with
sixteen lumber mills, all in operation and
with estibllshed markets in England. The

Lumber Compms. limited, and is organized
under the liws of the province of Nova
Scotia. Its capital is several millions of
dollars, but accurate Information on that
point cannot be ascertained, as those inter
ested are non-committal. For tho last
two sears the syndicate has been nego
tiating with Benjamin P. Pearson, of Hal
ifax, who has secured options on the
land for months under tho direction of
Mr Hall and George A. Crawford, count
ing trees and making estimates ot the
productiveness of the pioperts. When the
new tariff bill, which provides for free
lumber where there formerls' hid been a$;
duty on It, went into effect, the negotia
tions were passed more vigorously nnd
can now be said to, be completed. Ihe
principal kinds of lumber which will be
cut are spruce, pine, hemlock, beech,'
maple and birch, and In all the 560,000
acres, It is said, there Is scarcels- one
which is unproductive There arc miny

these rivers S10 miles of water front Is
