WAR PENSIONS.

The recent action of Congress has
created a new interest in the subject of
war pensions-a matter of vital interest
to those Immediately concerned, though
little understood by the general public.
1t is now nearly fourteen years since the
close of the war of the rebellion, and
yet the list of those who receive pen
sions on account of services rendered in
that war by themselves or their hus-
bands or fathers is longer, and the an
nual charge greater, than at any pre-
vious period. Both the number and
amount of pensions paid had been de-
creasing for some years, until the re-
cent legislation which enlarged both.
Invalid pensions are paid at various
rates, according to the degree of disa-
bility. The lowest is twelve dollars a
year, and highest 1864, for total disa-
bility caused by the loss of both eyes,
both legs or both arms, or other such
injury as totally disqualifes the in
jured person for physical exertion. At
the beginning of the present fiscal year
1920, persons were in receipt of in
valid pensions, of whom %, 232 received
$48 a year, 1922 received $72, and
about the same number 500. The next
largest number, ii, 1872, were paid $2l6
each, and next in order come 1874
who received $24. The number who
received 1888 each was $3.50, and the
number receiving $50, Sl20 and $l44
respectively, was between four thousand
and five thousand each. To 531 was
paid the smallest amount, $l2 each
and eleven received the highest rate, or
1864 each. Since the enactment of the
recent arrears bill it is expected that
the annual expenditures for pensions
will increase for some years, reaching
its highest point perhaps in the year
1884. The figures given above relate
to invalid pensions only. The pensions
paid to widows and orphans increase the
annual aggregate very largely. One
class of pensioners is diminishing very
fast in numbers, and will soon disap
pear. This class consists of the orphan
children of deceased soldiers, who arr
dropped from the rolls because of attain
ing the age when they are presumed t.
be able to support themselves. At tn
beginning of the present fiscal year thei
number was 95,434 During the yea
l0,32l will be dropped from the rolls
and in three years more none will b,
left.

GENERAL GEORGE p. FOSTER.

1t has rarely fallen to the lot of any
citizen of our state to enjoy larger cir
Gle of acquaintance or a greater num-
Der of warm personal friends than Gen.
eral George P. Foster, of Burlington.
Always fearless, free hearted and
large-souled man, he extorted respect
and esteem from all with whom he came
in contact, while his upright, manly
and straightforward course retained all
friendships once formed. The news,
therefore, of his death. which occurred
at his residence on Wednesday of last
week, caused universal sentiment of
deep regret throughout the entire state,
and the sympathy for his widow and
two orphaned children is widespread
and heartfelt.
The commencement of the rebellion
found Mr.. Foster law student in the
Office of Hon. Charles HI. Heath, in
Plainfeld. Promptly recognizing his
duty. he at once joined company being
formed there, and on its organization
was elected captain of the company,
which afterwards became Company G.,
Fourth Vermont Regiment. After vari-
Gus usual army experiences, he was in
July 1862, promoted to be major of the
regiment. On the 9Th of November,
1862, Colonel E. Fl. Stoughton, COM
handing the Fourth. having been made
a brigadier-general, and Lieutenant
Colonel G. b. Stoughton having been
appointed colonel in his place, Major
Foster was appointed lieutenant colonel.

is no probability whatever of any yield
ing on the part of the Administration
to a compromise in reference to the Fed
eral election laws which shall impair
the powers Supervisors or Marshals. The
story that Secretary Evarts had been a
party to arranging compromise on the
part of the President is declared to have
no foundation.
These fresh declarations of the pur-
pose of the President to resist the revo-
lutionary designs of the Democratic Con-
gress will be received with satisfaction
by the entire Republican party. The
country understands the issue. 1t is
not partisan one, which will leave the
independent voter to choose between the
two policies or stand aloof in disgust,
but question involving the purity Of
our elections, and which will give the
Republican organization the active sup
port of the mass of independent voters
and the active efforts of intelligent and
patriotic men, who see In the plans OF
the Democratic leaders a purpose to
make fraudulent voting an important
factor in winning for them the next
Presidential election.

The st. Adams Messenger, which Of
late has been able to accomplish won
ders in the line of political lnconsistenc-
es, has undertaken the prodigious task
of showing that Bradley Barlow repre-
sented his district, the other day, when
he voted for Kelley. who was neither a
candidate of the republicans, the demo-
Gratis, or the greenbackers in the contest
for a Speaker of the House of Represent
atives. So long as Mr.. Barlow is the
Patron Saint of the Messenger, nothing
is expected of that usually level headed
organ but adulatory praise, no matter
what Mr.. Barlow may choose to do.
We are pleased to see that Mr.. Bar
low falls into line, and will vote with
the republicans on the important meas
ures which now make the issue between
the two parties. The greenbackers do
not believe in destroying the safeguards
that have been made to guard the ballot
box from fraud and abuse.

THE DEMOCRATIC SPEAKER.


Whether as most accomplished par
or as a debater of the very
first order of talent, Speaker Randall is
easily the most intelligent of the Demo-
cratic Honse. Mr.. Randall was born in
Philadelphia, on the 10th of October,
1923. His father, Mr.. Josiah Randall,
was a very accomplished gentleman and
one of the foremost men at the Phila-
delphia bar. Samuel J. Randall never
voted any ticket but the Democratic.
He came into public life at very early
age, and has never since been even tenn
porarily retired. He served briefly in
the common council of the city, and in
the State Senate, and was then chosen
a member of the Thirty-eight Congress.
He has been returned at every succeed
ing election, until, although a young
man, he is one of the oldest in continu-
GUS service in that body. He was a
candidate for speaker Of the Forty
fourth Congress, but was defeated by
Hon. Michael G. Kerr, by whom he was
appointed chairman of the committee on
appropriations, position to which he
was entitled by virtue of the vote he had
received for speaker. At the second ses
sion of the same Congress Mr.. Randall
was chosen speaker, Mr.. Kerr having
died during recess. He was reelected
speaker of the FOrty-6fth Congress b.
un overwhelming maJVrfUy Vvvr all UUn
petitors. Mr.. Randall is in the prim
of life, with all his faculties at thei
best. He is temperate in all things ant
physically superb man. His capacit.
to endure hardships and perform extra
ordinary labors that less hardy con
stitution would sink under, is no unim
portant element of his strength. Thre
or four consecutive days and nights il
the chair, guiding the deliberations 0
the House in its stormiest moods of tn
greatest stress of business, make no i'm
preston on his iron frame, and he leave
it as fresh as he entered.

THE HUNT FOR GoLD.-One hundred
and fifty miles southwest of Denver, on
the head waters of the Arkansas river,
eleven thousand feet above the level
of the sea, the new mining town of Lead
vile has sprung into being as by magic.
Though only few months old it has
twelve thousand inhabitants and is in
creasiDg at the rate of thousand a
week. Two railroads are now pushing
up the mountain ravines towards it.
The most exciting days of Washoe are
repeated in this newest ElDorado. We
read of fabulous fortunes being made in
a day-those that are lost we don't hear
SO much about. Everything is on the
high pressure principle. But amid all
the excitement it is we'll to bear in mind
that great opportunities to make money
there are coupled with greater chances
to lose it, though it must be conceded
that the indication are that there is a
vast mass of rich ore, which is easily
reduced, in this new district. That a
few very rich mines have been discover.
ed is beyond question, but whether the
hundred and one extensions which have
been made are good for much remains
to be seen.
