BBttNAUD. WILMINGTON, N., C. Sunday Mor- ing, Jan 15. !li?3 TFE PEUSIOHilEAUD. The people; of this coun try are oo payinp; pension at the rate of 180,000,000 a-year, and soon will be i i paying S200,000,000 year. What they now pay amounts to over; one thirdiof the total expenditures for all purposes. Gen. Grant thought the maximum would never run over;$30, 000,000 and GenJi Garfield expressed the opinion that it would never run over 38,000,000 and rapidly decline from that. : It has' Overtopped j Gen. Grant's figures six times, and has nearly covered Gem Garfield's fig- ures five times. The disposition of the American people has ! been ;and is to be gen- eroiis towards the sold has been no j complaint pensions, however large er. There at honest they; may be, and even! in the South against which these soldiers warred and into which they carried j fire and sword, there has been no objection raisea to pensions to soldiers who had anyLto their present gigantic proportions? just claim: to them, although the South pays her proportionate part of the-total, not . one-tenth of which ever comes South. It is not to the honest pension battj the fraudulent pension that the people North j and South object. , i. pis there any sane plan who believes that twenty-eight years after the close of the war there could be nearly 1,000,000 names on1 the pension 'rolls, put there and kept there honestly? i Is there any sane! man who believes or would seriously assert! that the $180,000,000 now j required toj pay pensions, is deserved ' ac d ! honestly expended? j . i ' - . V IS there any sane man I. who be lieves or who- will seriously assert that these 1,000,000 names should remain on the pension ro' Is and that I the people of this country should con tinue to pay the sum required now at the rate of $180,000,000 alnd within a year or two at1 the 'rate o 20OjO00, 000 or $250,00b,b00? , j' ' In 1879,' when ! Mr. Bentley was Commissioner of ensiens he saw the necessity of taking some action to prevent frauds upon the Govern ment to keep: the 'pensions within reason-able limits, and in a letter ad dressed to the Senate sa d: j , "While 1 do not believe it possible to eliminate from 'the pensio rolls all the fraudulent claims, j by any manner of means, yet, considering the whole case, it is my opinion that) not! less than 10 per cent, ot the pension appropriations are paid out upon' fraudulent and illegal claims, which by the adoption of a pro sper method for the preparation aad pre sentation or tne evidence in support ot the cases would be saved to the Govern ment and the people1 l ! j Mr. Bentley i was a Republican, holding office under . a' Republican President, ; neither jofj whom could be supposed to be hostile to the soldier nor to be displosed to deny the de serving soldier . knything that- was justly his due. : The letter was ad dressed to a Republican Senate. ;. Nor is it to be supposed that Mr Bentley, with his knowlege of the business of. the pension office, would have made :the j assertion without good grounds that ft was' his opinion ; that ten per centJ prponations were of the pension ap-' then paid out on fraudulent ana n egal claims, which might be prevented if proper steps wor taken to ao, it. These stepi - v i .,:) i were not taken, but on the contrary the bars were let down so as to1 facili tate the entry of all kinds of jfrauds, and since then the ' hustling, pension agents have beeu rushing th busi ness and hate been making fortunes. Some of them run establish meots that require from twenty to . twenty-five clerks,- and the receipts of these offices are at times from $2j000 to $3,000 a day. Lemon, Raum's friend and bank endorser, is a millionaire. Corporal Tanner, since he got out of the Pension office, has laid up for a wet day $150,000. I When Commissioner Bentlv wrote there were 223,983 names on he pen sion rolls, and the total disburse ments were $26,844,415. He was probably under the mark at 10 per cent.- But even at this, ancf suppo sing that the pension rolls ana expen ditures had remained the sme, the people would have beeji defrauded out of over thirty-five and a half mil lions of dollars. At 10 per cent, what would it figure up between njow- and then, wuhj the increase of pensions from year to year? What would tt be now with 1,000,000 pensions! on the rolls and expenditures amounting to $180,000,000? j But 10 per cent, would not. begin to cover the fraudulent claims now. Persons familiar with the pension question, who have studied Jt and kept an eye on it, assert that they would amount to sixty per cent,, and there are many who believe they would amount to more than :hat. On the basis of 10 per cent,, as esti mated by Mr. .Bentley, the people are now paying $18,000,000 a year on fraudulent pensions; on a basis of 50 per cent,, which wou d' come nearer the mark now,' they are pay ing $90,000,000, three times as much as Gen. Grant thought they would ever have to pay. Is it to be wondered at t hat the people have entered . their protest against this monstrous swindle per petrated in the name of the soldier and under the false pretence of pa triotism? j ! Is it to be wondered at that de cent, self-respecting soldiers who have some regard for the honor -of the unifbrm they wore . have become disgusted, and have organized asso ciations tb lucKin correcting the anuses ana to pjjevent tnese jrauas upon the people? Is it any wonder that the people have demanded that the Democratic party, when it takes charge of the administration of the Government, shall give attention to these abuses, purge the lists, and call a halt in tnese monstrous frauds tbat have been perpetrated 4ot years a id which have been growiner year by year to This the Democratic party must do. and do it in no partisan, but in a pa triotic spirit, with due consideration for the, meritorious soldier and with i) ' " ! aue'Tegara to tne auraeneq people. f Secretary of War, Stephen B Elkins, is a wealthy man, and it is said will be one of the wealthiest in this country.- He has an eye to business, and does; not lose sight of business while he is running the War Department. He is in a position to keep his eye on the public lands, which are thrown open to settlement, and to have staked off desirable patches before the public gets a pull at them. There is a great excite ment in the far Western States. over the discovery of rich gold fields in ' the Navajo reservation in Colorado, to which over ten thou sand gold hunters have already flocked. Stephen B. Elkinj is presi dent of; a company organized in Colorado to work those mines. This company controls the choice claims for seventeen miles on the San Juan and Clay i. Wash rivers. ! A Denver correspondent of the St. Louis Re public . tts how it; was done, thus: 'The Navajo Indian reservation has, It is alleged by prominent Colorado mining men, been opened by stealth with the connivance of Government officials in the interest of great min ing corporations, and the miners and prospectors, who have been waiting patiently for the lands to be thrown open, find that somebody has been beforehand and located all the best mineral lands in the strip. ' Before the lands were thrown open for settle ment the prospectors were "amazed to see miles of -...the besi: location being staked out on the reservation, but the prospectors were ne t allowed upon the sacred soil of ; the Indians." Finally some- of them te egraphed the facts to Washington, and from private sources there iearncd that "a portion of the reservation bordering on San Juan and Clay Wash rivers ; had been thrown open tor settlement so quietly that no person seemed to know when it vias dane." It is'said that the claims which this company has staked off w 11 prove a bonanza, big enough to make them all rich. What they don't want to work they will sell a a big price. It will be remembered that there was a big noise raised when.Oklahoma: was thrown open to settlement, thousands of people camping for weeks on the border waiting the issuing oU the proclamation, and deputy marshals inside backed by U. S. soldiers to keep the "sooners" out. When they finally got in they found thousands of the best claims, town sites and ) ,-y ; r .... the country surrounding, staked off and already in the possession of par ties who had gotten in by the con nivance ot the deputy marshals, who had been appointed to keep them out The fellows inside the rings have long had the pick of the public lands. One! of the biggest picks, according to accounts, was this Colorado grab, which Stephen i B. Elkins made on the sly.- -j , ' - ,. Senator Vance was one of the speakers at the j Jacksonian banquet in Washington j last Monday I night where he delivered one of his charac- teristicallv wittv and humorous speeches, pretty good evidence that be has recovered his health, atj which everv North Carolinian wilt be re joiced. He concluded his speech with a complimentary tribute to the incoming administration ; and re iterated his declaration mide in the interview at Raleigh while on' his way to Washington, that "the: horse that pulled the plow. ought to have the fodder." The Senator has been criticized somewhat for this and called a "spoils" Senator, and yet, properly construed, it is the position that every Democrat ought tor hold. Of course Senator Vance does not mean that competent men should be turned out of office and incompetent men1 put in their places, but that competent Democrats should be recognized, and, as among j these, that the men who stood to their posts, worked the hardest, and ren dered the most service to the party, competence having due considera tion, should have the precedence. If there is to be party organization then the men who do the work are entitled to recognition when the victory is wtm,1 when that recogai tion can be made without detriment to the public service." r Without this there can be no effective party or ganization. j- j ." " j V f; j " . Gov. Buchanan, of Tennessee, has not been a distinguished success as a Governor, and he is not adding to any, credit that he may claim by his refusal to sign the joint resolution of .the Legislature authorizing the inau guration of the Gjvernor-elect, Tur neyj at his home, where he is detained by sickness. We don't know what the law in this respect may be in Tennessee, but if the Legislature saw: no obstacle in the law' we djn't see why Gov.: Buchanan should. Whether this be true or not bis action will be attributed to a desire to hold on to the office for which he was defeated, which he could d;in the event of the death of the Governor-elect before his inauguration,' until bis successor is ; elected. , -This suspicion will be strengthened by his vacillating course before the nomina , ting convention met, and his consent afterwards to run as an Independent candidate. He liked the office well enough to try and hold on to it even at the- expense of his candor and consistency. I : CURRENT COMMENT. --The ability ot our Govern ment tb obtain large indemnities is only equalled by its inability to find injured persons enough to absorb the indemnity when obtained.

Dem. v -7- When Mr. Black was Com missioner of Pensions he at one time suspended the payment of 102 pen sions at the agency in this city in cases in which ; the pensioners were dead, though the payments had been continued regularly- It is bad enough to vote dead men from year to year at the ballot-box, and to have them listed by j mercantile ap praisers, without keeping them - on the; pay-roll of the j Pension Office.
