Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1879-12-11

Monstrous frauds seem TO be con-
stantly practiced on the Pension Bu-
reau of the Government. According to
the report Of Commissioner Bently, no
less than 5000 cases of fraudulent pen
sioners have been striken from the rolls
during the three years just passed.
3,0S4 were perjured cases and in nearly
100 the papers were rank forgeries.
The government was defrauded out Of
$547, ,225, by these fraudulent claim
ants before they were dropped from
the pension rolls. But if the govern
ment did Its duty but half these perjur-
ers and forgers would be arrested, in
dicted and punished, and efforts made
to recover the money thus wrongfully
wrested from the public treasury.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1879-12-11

II Mr.. Hayes In writing the annual
message merely tried to see how long
he could make it Vnd say as little as
possible, he succeeded admirably; but
IL he labors under the delusion that he
was transmitting real or valuable ih
formation to the people or making
practical suggestions to congress, then
his message is O miserable failure. 1t
Is long almost without precendent, but
contains hardly one single original
thought worthy Of a President or
statesman. It Is very dull and prosy,
and probably not one'votsr out of afty
will lnflict on himself the weaTisnme
and thankless task of reading 1t.
Mr.. Hayes might have saved himself
the trouble of saying anything on the
subject of tCivi! Service Reform. His
platitudes on that matter deserve az d
viii certainly receive the utter con-
tempt Of the whole country. When
Mr.. Hayes declared for q thorough
civil service reform on his accession to
Office the whole country rallied to his
support. But when he himself viola
ted every pledge made, allowing all his
subordinAtes to do the same, he lrrevo.
cably and voluntarily forfeited what
little respect the country still had for
him. It was not In the least necessary
and certainly served no good purpose
for Mr.. Hayes to remind the country
OF his own inconsistencies and hypoca.
cy In his civil service reform profess
sionS.
Mr.. Hayes would like to have the ar.
my increased to ZOO men. and so re.
commends to congress. Of course he
don't expect q Democratic congress to
do any such absurd thing. The army is
amply large for all legitimate purposes
and that is enough. The people have
enough Of military interferencein elec.
tioDs, and will endorse congress for keep.
ing the army down to peace footing.
On other subjects the message is very
tame and commonplace. It refers 10
our Foreign Affairs, Agriculture, the
Washington Monument, Education,
District of Columbia, and other mat
ters, pretty much in the same style a:
other messages did for years past.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1879-12-11
A Good Newspaper is the
Cheapest Literature.

IL is a remarkable fact that the gem
eral appreciation In prices couseouent
upon the revival OF prosperity through
OUT tne United States finds an excep-
tlon In the cost OF literature of every
kind This is emphatically an era Of
cheap literature, and newspapers, after
all, are the cheapest of literature. A
journal like the PHILADELPHIA WEEK,
LII TIMES, the fifty-two numbers issued
In year being equivalent to several
