the
Close of the War
A deficit of forty-rour mill
ions in eovernmeut revenue
; '
during the four and a half
months of the new fiscal -"year
lends signilieance to the report
of Secretary Dliss touching the
tremendous growth of the pen
sion list.
At the end of June the num
ber of pensioners on the' roll
lacked only 14,'JOO of beinrj a
round million
that even : this
figure will soon be exceeded is
evident from tho fact that about
200,000 claims, were awaiting
adjudication, of which it is esti
mated about o le-half would be
finally admitted.
Wheu it is remembered that
the entire population of the
"ro"f.ht t States nen,- women
zxit cLJdren at the outbreak
of the war was about 2G,000,
000, the preposterous character
of the pension roll, of to-day,
thirty-two years after the, decla
ration of peace, becomes appar
ent. One year after the close
of the war the list amounted to
120,000 ; in ten years it had
grown to 234,000.; in 1889 a
quarter of a century after the
war had ended it had swollen
to nearly half a million, and in
the past eight years this has
been doubled.
The figures are simply stun
ning. The fees for examining
surgeons and expenses of dis
pensing the moneys have
amounted to seventy-two mill
ion dollars, and the pensions
distributed reach the astound
ing total of more than 2107
millions of dollars. As we get
further away from the period
of the war the pension list, in
stead of dwindling, is increased
in a geometrical ratio. lhe
fifteen millions of 18G6 has
grown to one hundred and for-
tv millions in 1S9G, a'nd is -still U,
sweinuLf. as io me means uv
I which fift) thousand pensioners
a year are boin2 attded to the
rolls, they a-ve only too well
known. The Commissioner in
his report touches mii one aspect
of this by. recommending the
passage of a law providing that
no pension shall be granted to
the widow of a soldier who shall
hereafter marrv. ... .
With a constant deficit inrthe
government income it is the
duty of Congress to reduce-the
outK, and when it starts to
economizing in expenses this
matter of pension abuses should
ensaire its early- and earnest at
tention. From the New York
Herald, Nov. 23.
