Doaxe_made an excellent point in his excellent argument before the dis- triot court in the injunction hearing yes- terday, whenhe inguived - what ' interest the attorniey of the Union ' Pacific rop- resented that he volunteered his services without pay, to defeat the wishes of the people of Omaha, and uphold the un- worthy acts of her unworthy scrvants. This was a point which the counsel on the other side wisely concluded not‘ to notice, Junee Neviuie's explanation of ‘his remark in court relative to the injunc- tion proceeding, was a very clear and manly one and removes all apprehension that the court had a preconceived opin- ion on the point involved. An unfor- tunate wording of the sentence referred PENSIONS, AND PENSION PRAUDS, The chiitge upon the country for, pen« sions is greater than that for the support of the machinery of the government. This in itself is no cause for complaint The nation doos not begrudge one dollar paid ont to its disabled yeterans or fssued for the sipport of the widows and orphans of its dead heroes. The people of the erous liberality that in one respect at least republics are not ungrateful. No nation, ancient ér modern, has made such bounteous provision for the support of its pension- ers. The very liberality of the govern ment has been the means of placing a premium on fraud in securing pensions, A case has just been brought to light in Philadelphia where a woman personated & widow who was really entitled to a pension. In this instance the swindlers obtained more than seventeen hundred dollars, but were captured so soon after- ward that most of the money was recov- ered. Apparently the woman was a tool of two men, but as all three were taken into custody there will be no trouble in determining the share of each in the transaction, This swindle is, perhaps, slightly different in style from the usual pension fraud, but it illustrates the ease with which the treasury is plun- dered under the protection of the pen- sion laws. It is not uncommon to see pensions conferred on men whose only experience in thearmy wvs gained in that profitable employment known as ‘‘leppin’ the bounty.” There are other instances in which soldiers who never thought of complaining of injury or ill-health dur- ing and long after the war have been in- duced to make applications and secure pensions for purely fictitious hurts or ail- ments. There have been cases in which pensions have been granted on account of such men, even though they have not asked for them. In such cases an imagi- nary case is made out by a man person- United States have proved by their gen- | THE DAILY BEE---OMAHA, TUSSDAY JULY 31, 1883. 426, Tive hundred yoars later 150 towns and cities in Asia Minor were déstroyed and in 543 A. D,, ashock which extended throughout the then known world is noted by historians, Thirteen years | afterwards, 10,000 inhabitants of Con- stantinople perished in of these catastrophes, and in 742 Asia was again visited by a tremendous shock which swopt out of existence 500 towns with a loss of life beyond all calculation, The year 1137 brings us to the first great Italian earthquake, when Catania in v was overturned and 15,000 persons buried in the ruins, The severest shock of oarthquake in the middle ages occurred at Naples on the bth of December, 1456, when the city was shaken to its foanda- tions. The best authorities place the loss of life at more than 40,000, This was followed in 1636 by another still more far reaching in its effects when 70,000 inhabitants of Naples and 30 towns and villages adjoining perished. In the course of the 75 years, from 1783 to 1857, it is estimated that the kingdom of Naples alone lost at least 111,000 of its inhabitants by the effects of earthquakes, or more than 1,600 a year out of an aver- age population of 6,000,000. The island of Tschia was visited by earthquake for the last time on the 16th of March, 1881, when 289 houses were destroyed at Casa- micciola and 114 lives lost. Other remarkable earthquakes are the great Sicilian earthquake of 1693 in which 100,000 lives were lost; that of 1703 at Yeddo, Japan, where 200,000 souls perished; the great ecarthquake of 1765 at Lisbon, where 50,000 of the inhabitants were buried in the ruins; the Central American earthquake of 1797, in which 40,000 people were overwhelmed ; the Iquique disaster in 1868 which re- sulted in the loss of 25,000 lives and the destruction of $130,000,000 of property, and the Columbian earthquake of 1875, when 14,000 inhabitants were under their ruined homes. | | one | | buried ating the real soldier, and false affidavits by the score are obtainable to strengthen the story. And while the real soldicr may be-living in health and cheerfulness, a scathp draws u pension on the_ strengtlr of 'the former's military record. War widows were a numerous crop a few years ago, and the supply is not yet exhausted, for many pensions with' large arrears are still granted on this score. Frequently both the real soldier and the real widow have passed away, but sometimes a member of the departed widow's family maintains the widow's claim—when previously legally granted—or else a personator secures a pension for a widow after the latter's death. Sometimes these schemes are concocted simply to get the arrears of pension, but not infrequently the person- ator has got the nerve to go on drawing the pension quarterly because there is so little reason to fear detection. Owing to the immense number of claims filed and the insufficient clerical force provided in the pension bureau there can beeno adequate examination into the facts alleged in the application for pensions, and so long asthere is noth- ing abopt them 4o _excite a suspicion of fraud it can hardly be ‘expected that much, time will be spent in investigation. Tt has boen estimated. that at one time 20 per cent. of the claims presented were absolutely fraudulent, and that at least that proportion of those al- lowed were cither fraudulent or were granted for insignificant causes not contemplated by the pension law. A proposition has béen made to publish lists giving the name of the person drawing the pension and of the person on whose account it was allowed, the amount, the cause and the pensioner’s address, Such a list would unquéstionably cause a con- to gave rise to the general opinion among those in the court room, that the jndge’s mind was not open to further argument on the question of what proportion of the property owners was necessary for a paving petition. H —— THe assassination of James Carey, the Irish informer, immediately upon his landing from the vessel which carried him to South Africa, will occasion no Tegret in any quarter, Among the Irish Nationalists the deed will meet with uni- versal approval as a just punishment to a cowardly .betrayer of his. associates. Elsewhere Carey’s death will be looked upon as a fitting ending to the life of a criminal whose responsibility for the assassination of Cavendish and Burke was no less than that of the five men who met their fate on the gallows at Dublin, and who only escaped the hang- man’s noose by helping to settle it over the necks of his companions in crime, — Tue last legialature passed a law which provides that in cities of the first-class the number of polling places in wards can be increased from one to two upon peti- tion of fifty residents of such voting pre- cinet, setting forth the necessity for the increase. This provision was made with especial reference to the wants of this city. Every election for the past three years has shown the insufficiency of one polling place in each ward, Hun- dreds of voters among our laborers and mechanics' have been practically dis- enfranchised because of the crowd at the polls at the close of the hours set apart for voting, This has been particulaly the case in the Third, Fifth and Sixth wards. In view of the approaching fall elec- “‘tions the requisite petitions should at ence be circulated for the division of the . mards and presentod as early as possible the city council for their action. Last siderable sensation, for it would be sure to expose many swindlers now drawing money to which they have no shadow of aright. For this reason it has been op- posed by the great body of pension solicitors and by those thin-skinned ponsioners who regard the acceptance of the nation's bounty as humiliating. It is"in this class that may . be found in greatest nwmbers the un- deserving pensioners those who fear an exposure of their dishonesty. There is no humiliation in drawing a pension if it has been earned. A law should be passed requiring the commis- sioner of pensions to advertise in each congrossional district such a list as is above mentioned, at. least once a year, The newspaper having the largest circu- lation in the district should be selected in order to secure the greatest publicity possible, and only the names of the pen- sioners living in its district should be sent to one paper. All applications for pensions should be similarly advertised monthly, The cost of advertising would be only a small proportion of the amount saved to the government by the preven- tion and exposure of fraudulent claims, and the nation would soon be able to feel that it was providing for its worthy sol- diers and not in part for its worthless swindlers, —_— REMARKABLE EARTHQUAKES, The great earthquake on the Island of Lschia, on Saturday, by which 2000 lives were lost and 1000 persons wounded, calls renewed attention to a class of nat- ural phenomena which for centuries have been poculiarly destructive in Italy and SouthAmerica, whiletheireffocts have been felt more or less in every portion of the civilived world, The dncients supposed that earthquakes were produced by sub- torrancous clouds bursting into lightning which shook the that confined them, Later authorities attributed them to electricity whilst vaults spting the time was too short between the of the law and the city elec- tion to secure the requisite petitions, and w“ upon the petitions even if prosen: scientists are now agreed upon their cause as steam generated by subter- raneous heat. The earliest earthquake recorded was that which made Eubca an island B, C, Transcontinental Monopoly Chicago Tribune. The lawyers of the Southern Pacific haye filed with the department of the in- terior their brief of the reasons why the unearned grant of the Texas Pacific should be handed. over to that road, and o full synopsis of it will be found in our Washington dispatches. Its condensed purport may be said to be that the Cen- tral-Southern Pacific millionaires demand that they be given 25,000,000 worth of public land as a reward for having de- feated the plans of the people and the government for a road to compete with their oppressive monopoly. That is what they did, and such is the munificent com- Incnmtiuu they want for the wrong they have done, The reader will search in vain through the argument of the lawyers of the would-be land-grabbers for any reference however remote, to the circumstance that the grant given the Texas Pucific was made for the purpose of breaking up the monopoly of the Central Pacific. The brief dwells with the most innocent-look- ing emphasis on the plea that the govern- ment wanted the road built, and that as the Central-Southern built it they should have the grant. But in view of the fact that by building it the p.esent claimants destroyed the use for which it was wanted their claim to a reward falls heavily to the ground. The men who are at the head of the Central-Southern Pacific and at the throat of California are very ‘“‘strong” men. Our railrond development has brought forth an extraordinary number of able men, but none that have displayed more brilliant qualities than these California million- aires. The wonderful success by which in o few years they have lifted ' themselves from the position of obscure tradesmen in an interior provincial town to the front ranks of the world’s aristocracy of wealth is due to the fact that they have allowed themselves to think of nothing but success. Their own interests, not those of other people or of society, have been what they have keptinmind. The record shows that there has been nothing they have been unwilling to resort to, from intimidation to personal, political, and judicial corruption, to keep themselves “‘on top.” They have determined that the mon- opoly of the avenues of communication between California and the rest of the United States which they have estab- lished shall not be broken. The Texas Pacific was chartered to give the people of the Pacific coast relief, but they cap- tured it and built the line themselves. The Atlantic & Pacific was another line that was richly endowed by congress to open a competing line to the Californians but it has been stop) half-way across the continent by Central Pacific, which was built to meet it,and has bound it to prorate with it and not to extend its lines to California, which would have the monopoly-ridden people of that state but the Central Pacific have prepared to resist this invasion of *‘their territory,” a8 ex-Presidant Porter of the Omaha road would say, and have arranged with the Northern Pacific that they shall build only a midway junction with the owners of the highways to the Golden Gate, It was in pursuance of this programme, which they have successfully carried out on all the radii of transportation from San Francisco, that Huntington, Stan- ford, and Crocker built the Southern Pacific over the route that had been given h{ congress to a compoting corporatiun, If the secref of the interior gives them the Toxas Pacific grant it will be as a prize for perpetuating their own mono- poly in defiance of the will of - congress that it should be broken, As we pointed out at the time it was rendered would be the case, the decision of the department ratifying the ‘‘assign- ment” of the New Orleans, Baton Rouge & Vicksburg grant by a dead corporation to the New Orleans f:llcific, which built a different road than that covered by the grant, 15 used by the Central's lawyers as a conclusive precedent in their ~favor, And this decision is believed to have been written in New York by the lawyer of the New Orleans Pacific and then adopted verbatim and literatim by the departments of justice and of the interior, ‘Lhe remarkable results in a discase so universal and with such a variety of characteristics us Catarrh, prove how ef foctually Hood's Sarsaparilla acting through the blood, reaches every part of the human system.

Oincinnati Commercial. The crops last year were large and the basis good for a laige and prosperous trade; but the fact that the result of the first half year's business of 1883 has proved, in the main, unsatisfactory. This 18 due in part to wild speculation which inflated prices unduly at times and caused violent fluctuations, checking foreign ex- ports and demoralizing the home markets he resulting uncertainty caused consum- ers to wait, and so greatly Linders legiti- mate trade as a disposition on the part of buyers to await developments. But the disturbing, and, we may say, depressing cause was the apprehension as to the nction of Congress on the ques- tions of internal revenue and the tariff. Taxes levied undor the authority of the government add to the cost of articles taxed, and of course a reduction or in- crease in the rates of taxation amounts to an arbitrary advance or reduction in the market price of the commodities affected. While, therefore, congress was delibera- ting, manufacturers and merchants and consumers were waitng. This trouble began in the autumn of 1882, and con- tinued until congress took final action up- on _the tariff and the internal revenue, business men were able to take reliable soundings. There is hardly anything that 8o injuriously affects the industries of the country as fecling of uncertain- ty, and this necessarily results from levis- lation or proposed legislation affecting the finances, the duty on imports or internal taxation, ! There has no doubt been a necessity for a revision of the tariff, as there was previously for financial legislation, until the country was placed on the solid basis of specie payments, and the credit of the government was advaneed to the highest position known among the nations. here was also a demand for a reduction of internal taxes, The effect upon busi- ness was largely aggrevated by tedious and useless discussion in cungreuhwhmh had more politics than business in it, but the end was finally reached, and now the field is clear; business men can take their soundings, and consumers need not wait to ascertain what effect legislation may have upon prices. The result of the har- vest is als pretty well understood. Mis- haps to the corn crop are possible, but not probable, and the present indications are that great crop will bea large one. Wheat is short, but large enough, taken in connection with the surplus from last year, to afford a heavy margin for export. Other crops are also g At the same time, even with good harvests in Europe, the foreign demand promises to be large. There is now but one danger to appre- hend in connection with our industries. Inso far as there is overproducton, that will regulate itself, and the laws of sup- ply and demand, if free from legislative interference, will adjust prices, and here- after trade ought jto have an easy flow This is the view that business men are generally disposed to take of the pros- pects, and the opinion prevails that trade will be more satisfactory during the last half of the current year than is was the first. The only danger is that which would be sure to result from any farther interference with the tariff, and with in- ternal taxes. The latter have been re- duced substantially to liquors and tobac- co. These are not oppressive, and they ought to stand. The tariff may need touches here and there to correct mis- takes, but substantially it should be let alone. The business of the country is in no condition to be subjected to another period of uncertainty, + The Magazines. wis's MoNTHLY, the first num- ber of w lios Wefore us, comes into the field of magazine literature with the aim of popularizing Sanitary Science.
