It would be interesting to knoy
how many pensions are paid to day
to parties who arenot- legally en
titled to them. The system is evi
dently rotten "from maintruck to
keelson." We have not one word
to say against pensioning those
whose honorable wounds entitle
them to relief but there are prob
ably a great number of cases
where fraudulent pensions are. paid.
We see an instance stated of a "wo
man who is drawing a pension as a
widow while her husband is still
alive. Application at tho Pension
Office for information on this point
was flatly refused, the natural
inference being, therefore, that it
is a true bill.

Mayor Fowler in Ilaleigh.
Yesterday's? Raleigh News and
Observer says: "We were glad to
meet in this city yesterday Mayor
Fowler,-of Wilmington. He is the
progressive mayor of a progressive
city. He informs us that Wilming
ton is making arrangements to put
in a first class sewerage system and
he is here for the purpose of exam
ining the Raleigh system now being
constructed. Mavor. Fowler, in
company with Prof. Ludlow, in
spected our system yesterday."
There is something, we think, a
little too previous in this. A really
complete" system of sewerage, would
cost, we understand, something like
$100,000. This money can.be had
only by increasing the already large
debt of the city and on a vote of the
people and we do not think that the
taxpayers here are willing to aa
suiue any more burdens just now.
