'UNITED STATES EA7 PLi'NS./, O..# S. A;New ':ork contemperary points out that there is at deficiency in the alin4nn11t necessary for the payment t of United States pensions for the current' fiseal year above existing uppropri'. aitiol>s, anlountiaug to about $8,000.000. TheComlanissiolner of Pensions asks for the necessary eansid', ra#lona of the sitte. Aden, byCongress. Thesumapproprkr•it- i"4 for pensions for the current year was X79,178,000, and $-13,709,3..n 1 were 'expended during the seven, months ended 31st Jan. It appears that during the seven months there were issued ;146,440 pension certificate, or 24,489 in excess of the issue for the correspond- ing period of the previous year, and the same ratio is expected to continue during the remaining five months of the fiscal year: The Commissioner ex- plains that these increased. disburse- ments resulted frock the operations the Act granting arrears +lf pensions to willows of the civil war of 1861, in creasing the rate for total .and penial , and deafness d from the fact tint tilt' zlloliths` revenue-•5wl. i0 254.5'; --daces value of rens-Jolts -epee the voile i on. ext is an excess of revenue over expels• i tautly being increased.

EX -PRESIDENTS. On the fifth day of March, 1889, there will be in tite United States two citizens who have held the highest office in the gift of the republic. From one of these gentlemen one may buy eggs. The other will be open to an engagement to defend a thief against the pinch of the law. The poultry business and the law business are both honorable when conducted by honorable men. But there seems'to be, to British eyes, some- thingaineongruous in reducing a man from the proud position of servant to, all the people to the occupation of cat- erer or servant to any single person of the sixty millions who inay choose to pay for the eggs or the law, which, on r by men who will be for sale e 5th, March5 have been republican kings, having more power than the Queen of Great Britain is permitted to wield. Of late years the ex -presidents of the United States have" not, as a rule, returned to the presidental which the business election interrupted. Lincoln was slain .in office. Grant'aied as general of the army, n position Which, in his ease was as high as the presidency itself; Neither Johnston nor Arthur lived long enough after the expiry of the presidential terms . to flake up their minds what they should do. Garfield was slain in office. It was perhaps a wise provision which made it necessary for a president of the United States to be a man well advanced in years. If young men were permitted to occupy the presidential chair the United States. might now be full of councillors -at -law, heir farmers, tailors, rail splitters and tanners, who once had more power than ,the reigning sovereign of the. British Empire. We do not know that `rev uldbe anything.. #bene o wrong about survey ]lace not yet been made public. The Vancouver World, however, has learned that the gentleman ,comprising the expedition were satisfied that it miahtbe converted into oneof the greatest gold -mining regions of the world. It is partly in American, but more largely in Canadian, territory. According to Dr. Dawson it starts from Dense lake,In British Columbia, and ex- tends northward along the Cordillera belt for about b00 miles. All that stretch of country has been found , rich in preciou smetals. Besides that moun- tain region, however, there is another in the southern part of British Columbia which, It is thought, is equally rich and which extends 700 miles. That 1,200 miles is almost equal to the length of the same belt in the United States• Prospecting hitherto has been confined chiefly to the larger rivers, and plices diggings have been alone worked. Abundant evidences have been found of the existence' of rich' quarts leads. ThePt i members of the ex ed1 on are satisfied that gold occurs oil illi the streams; and they say that .the extent of the gold -bearing bars is is in "the aggrragate almost unprecedented." If the public also become satisfied of this then ways and means will be .provided of more easily reaching that hitherto. unknown region, and at no distant day gold mining there will play an im- portant part in the development of the Great Canadian Northwest.
