Call subscribers contemplating a change of resideace during th mmer months can have their paper forwarded by mail to their mew addresses by mneotifying The Call B ness Office. This paper will also be on sale at all summer | resorts and ig represented by a local agemt im ~ the coast at 11 o'clock, THE CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR. S and-out declaration of Venez- uela has been in a disturbed condition for some time, and it is believed at Caracas that the Colombian Gov- ernment bas helped to push the revolution against Castro. On the other hand, it issuspected at Bogota that Castro has fomented the Colombian revolution. Just why Ecuador is active does not plainly appear, since Bogota and Quito have seemed to be. cordial even beyond the requirements of diplomacy. It is probable that there is a strong revolutionary element in each country that is determined not so much upon subversion of the local government as upon an upheaval that will result in a consolidation of territory now under three Governments into a na- tion with one Government. O far it seems that the trouble between Venezu- ela and Colombia, with Ecuador making some fuss on the side, is not in the nature of an out- war, but the encouragement revolutionists within the three countries. This is the tendency for the last thirty years, during | which time Germany and Italy have both undergone the process of uniting a people of common blood and language under one rvle and one flag. As the popu- lation and power of the Central and South American countries increase, it is inevitable that the people, who are of common racial origin and language, will consolidate. It must be the work of patriots, how- ever, for the politicians want the multitude of small countries, with their offices and patronage. Senti- ment in the United States is in favor of South Ameri- can consolidation. Our obligations under the Mon- roe doctrine require that we take an interest in South Ameri politics. The numerous little states there are alwa¥s peppery toward each other and lizble at any time to get into trouble with each other and appeal to Europe for intervention. This we cannot permit, for we want no European troops landed in this hemisphere, unless in a war directly between some nation here and a European power, and in concluding such action we would veto any transfer of territory and would spend every military energy we have in preventing it. With South America as much under one govern- ment as North America is under qurs, our position would be much stronger and safer, because the risk of European intervention would be less. The French newspapers are in quite a flurry about our intentions and are horrified at the signs of our in- tention to grab South American territory, which they pretend to see. We do not want any South American territory, but if we did we would take it regardless of any protest by France, whose attempt to get a foothold in Mexico is not forgotten, and whose grab game in Algiers, Madagascar and Cochin China has disqualified her for rebuking her neighbors. When national good faith is under discussion it will be re- membered that forgery in the French treaty of 1860 has caused all the bloodshed and horrors in China. So the Paris press might well go and seek a more composed frame of mind for the discussion of affairs in the Western Hemisphere, where the United States has and will retain hegemony, in spite of any pro- test by France or by combined Europe. The welfare and prosperity of the people south of us react upon us, and will ever be cherished by us wisely and, if need be, by a show of power. Theatrical managers in New York are said to be showing a decided preference for dark-haired girls in their choruses, and the so-called “drugstore blondes” are vanishing from the stage. OUR MILLION PENSIONERS. ENSION COMMISSIONER EVANS has P been subjected to almost constant attacks, due to the charge that his administration of his bureau is illiberal. He is himself an old sol- dier and a member of the G. A. R., but the most per- sistent demands for his removal have come from that organization. The charges have been numerous, and it has appeared that his position Mas been rendered intolerable, unless he is a philosopher or the owner of a resistant nerve as big as the center pole of a circus tent. To inform his fellow veterans and the country as to the facts, General Evans has prepared an advance copy of his annual report for use at the coming na- tional encampment of the G. A. R. A synopsis has been published, which contains facts and statistics that may be commented upon. It appears that the annual pension pa)'mcnt'in round numbers in Grant's first term was $29,000,000; in his second,_ $28,000,000; Hayes' term, $38,000,000, when Garfield said it had reached high water mark; but in Garfieid’s term it rose to $59,000,000, and in Cleveland’s first term was $76,000,000, when Cleveland made a determined stand against further imcreage, but was met by a powerful reaction which carried the appropriation up to $129,- 000,000 per year during Harrison’s term, and $139,- 000,000 during Cleveland’s second term; during Mc- Kinley's first term it was $140,000,000. Comparing this payment with the cost of main- taining their standing armies by the military nations, it exceeds some of them and approaches the highest. The annual cost of the Austrian army is $123,000,000; of the French, $127,000,000; the German, $159,000,- 000; the British, $197,000,000; Russian, $166,000,- 000; and of our own, $134,000,000. The cost of the British navy is $145,000,000; the French, $60,000,- 000; the German, $35,000,000; the Russian, $42,000,- 000; the United States, $55,000,000. Putting pensions and cost of army and navy into the annual military budget, we are paying annually for military purposes the sum of $330,727,878, or more than any of the military nations pay for their combined army and navy, except Great Britain, and she exceeds us by only $13,000,000. For non-military folks we seem to be indulging martial expense rather freely. Of course we omit the pension payments by other countries, but they are so small that if counted it would leave our relative position the same, with Great Britain alone lead- ing 1s. General Evans reports 997,737 pensioners on the roll, an increase of 4206 over last year, although it lost by death 38,153. It is interesting to notice that two of the deaths were pensioners of the Revolu- tionary War, which closed 118 years ago. We may ex- pect, therefore, that under existing laws, for wars now past, pensioners will be on the roll in the year 2019. Of pensioners of the war of 1812 there died 215, and that war ended eighty-six years ago. The Spanish war has already added nearly 6ooo pension- ers to the roll, not including the claimants from the Philippines, who are believed to number many thousands, whose claims will occupy the attention of the bureau during the coming year, with the result of increasing the appropriation by several millions, and making the pension roll more than one million of persons. Last vear 13,334 widows of the Civil War went upon the rolls. Perhaps it will never be done, but if a commission of independent men could be appointed to re\:iew and revise our whole pension system, pensions might be limited to actual disability and the amount saved be added to the pensions of widows and those whose capacity was really and permanently impaired in their country’s service. Any proposition to change our pension policy is met with stubborn opposition, in the fear that it will be made less liberal. A reform might be effected, however, that would make it far more liberal to those who are’ deserving. The country would be in sympathy with action by the G. A. R. looking toward such a reform, but it is doubtful whether it will ever be taken. The action of that organization upon General Evans’ report will be awaited with great interest. John Alexander Dowie is evidently doomed to fail- ure in Chicago, for in a recent sermon in that city he said: “You people who ate pork for dinner to- day, do you know what you took into your system? T'll tell you. You got tuberculosis, cancer and scrofula.” How cat Chicago be expected to stand that? . THE OFFICER AND THE LAW. O teflects credit and even dignity upon its pro- ceedings. It is the speech made by Thomas G. Jones, a former Governor of the State, in support of a clause in the constitution providing that any Shetiff or other officer of the law who fails to protect from a mob a prisoner in his hands shall be summarily removed from office. The opponents of the measure had argued that it often happens officers cannot ‘protect prisoners, and that for them to undertake to do so would be to confront certain death. In response to that plea Mr. Jones said: “Why is it that of all men on earth who are intrusted with the keeping of others that a standard of honor must be made for officers different from all others and that he should take no risk. We see locomotive engineers every day standing by the throttle and risking their lives to save passengers; we have seen captains of ships standing on the bridge that the women and ‘children might be saved and going down to death in the waters. What man would have respect for Ala- bama State troops no matter against what odds if they allowed a mob to take a prisoner from them? Such a standard as is claimed for Sheriffs has no rec- ognition in any laws of honor. It is a false standard of duty—if I may be pardoned for saying it—a cow- ardly standard of duty.” The orator went on to say that in two-thirds of the cases where prisoners had been taken from the hands ot officers the capture was due to the fact that the officers were not unwilling to give up the prisoner. That willingness, he said, “is due to a false conviction in the public mind that a Sheriff in resisting a mob would be fighting not for the law but for some worth- less criminal.” Against that opinion it is time for the conscience of the South to rise in protest. “These mob executions,” he said, “are brutalizing our chil- dren, blunting our religion and undermining our civ- { ilization. Can any one in the sound of my voice rise up and say that this is not so? We are undermining all noble ideals of duty and manhood. When we sur- render to any local public opinion, which dom- inates in some places, that a Sheriff is not bound to take any risks even to loss of life or limb in defense of a prisoner, we abdicate all our past and bow down tand worship false and base standards of duty. Why UT of the constitutional convention of Ala- bama there has come one speech at least that should not the Sheriff die at his post as well as the locomotive engineer or the priest or the doctor or the soldier?” Such an “address is one of the hopeful signs that are visible here and there through the darkness of the race problem in the Southern States. When brave men like this former Governor of Alabama speak out it will not be long before they will have a considerable following. Should a right standard of official honor be fixed in the minds of the officers of the law not in the South only but throughout the Union there will be an immense gain for society. Fortunately, brave and honorable officers are not rare, but there are still too many of them who have not learned that there are times when honor calls upon them to do their duty even if they die at the post.

A there will be more tests than ever before of the use of balloting machines. The results aging and as a consequence many towns and cities that have not yet tried the new way of voting will T the Eastern elections this year it is probable of the experiments thus far made have been encour- miake the experiment this fall. Mos: of the localities where the machines are to | be tried for the first time are small, but it is probable a test will be made in Boston, and should it be so, the results will furnish a good basis upon which to found estimates of the availability of the machines for cities of the largest size. Massachusetts some time 2go created a State Board of Examiners on vot- ing machines, which must first approve a machine bLefore it can be used at elections. The board has approved certain machines and several of them have been set up for public trial. Moreover, the Boston Election Commissioners have made a tour of inves- tigation to the various cities in which machines have been used, and it is reported that they have returned strongly convinced of the practical utility and ad- vantage of the machine system. he Commissioners themselves have not yet made an official report of their investigations, but it has been stated by several of them that most of the wit- nesses examined in Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buf- falo and other .places were well-nigh unanimous in favor of the machine. In the report that comes to us of the investigation it is stated: “The machines used find favor, according to these numerous and credible witnesses, for the reason that they are ac- curate in recording votes and report the result of the poll quickly. In the course of the board’s journey of inspection and “information inquiry was made in* New York#City as to the attitude of city officials with respect to the machines. They had been on exhibi- tion in Tammany Hall for two years and had been | put to the most trying tests, but’the Tammany poli- ticians, it was discovered, did not approve of them for New York City. In the cities visited the machines have stood the test of several elections and seem to have passed beyond the experimental stage.” : { In Pennsylvania the people are to vote at the com- ing election upon an amendment authorizing the use of the machines and as a consequence a good deal of study is being given in that State to the results of the experiments that have been already made. The but leaves it optional with the Legislature. It is be- lieved, however, that if the amendment be adopted Pennsylvania will soon have a system of machine voting in operation. It will be seen then that the movement toward the new system is moving rapidly. being improved and made more effective with each succeeding test and it would seem that soomer or | later every progrssive community will have to adopt them. ) It is reported from England that at a recent meet- ing of the Devon and Somerset staghounds several ladies took part in the hunt riding astride, and the impression they made on society was so favorable that some people believe the side-saddle is doomed. THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION. NDISTURBED by the comparative public in- U difference toward the Buffalo which has thus far made that venture a finan- cial failure, the promoters of the St. Louis exposition are going ahead upon a programme which if carried out in its entirety will make that the largest and most magnificent exposition ever held. The Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia covered sixty acres, and that was the largest area that was covered by any exposition that preceded it. Each one that followed, however, was upon a larger scale, until Chicago erected her Columbian Exposition upon a park of 666 acres, and now St. Louis sets apart for the World's Fair of 1903 a domain of nearly 1000 acres. The structures to be raised on that large area are to be ‘proportionately grand and vast. An ample supply of money seems to be forthcoming to defray the expense cf the ambitious undertaking. It has been recently announced that appropriations ac- tually made from various sources amount to very nearly $17,000,000, and that, without counting what is to be done by 'foreign Governments, there is up- ward of $3,000,000 more in sight. Of that sum there came $5,000,000 from the National Government, $5,000,000 from the city of St. Louis, and various cor- porations, companies and individuals have contrib- uted about $5,000,000 more. Several of the States have already made appropriations for State exhibits. Missouri leads with an appropriation of $1,000,000, Tllinois has appropriated $250,000, Kansas $75,000, Colorado $50,000, and one or two other States have appropriated amounts ranging from $25,000 up. With such an amount of money at their disposal the promoters of the fair are pushing the work vig- orously. They are determined to make a record for themselves and for St. Louis by having all the build- ings ready in time to open the fair on the date fixed. Should they succeed in doing so ‘they will have ac- complished a feat of genuine merit. Any kind of a promoter can undertake a big thing, but it takes a high order of executive ability to carry it through according to programme, and if St. Louis make a success of the opening she will have a right to crow over Chicago. ’ Farming has become so unpopular down in Maine that it is found impossible to make a county fair attractive without a balloon ascension or something of the circus kind. The day when a prize pumpkin and a rural orator could draw a crowd in any part of that State has gone by.
