4 MUCU-NEEDED REFORM.

The change just made in the Commissioners
ship OF Pensions will not, we trust, cause the
abandonment of measure urged upor Con
grcss by the late Commissioner Mr.. Bentley
for the protection of the Treasury against the
demands of fraudulent claimants The present
system of making up evidence to sustain appli
cations for pensions is secret and er parte The
claimant, or rather his attorney, finds out inst
how much testimony and what sort of testi-
mOny will be accepted by the Government as
| sufficient, and goes to work to get it, There il
no opportunity for anyone to be heard on the
other side. The Government is not represented
when the aiidavits are made out, and there is
no crOss-questioning of the witnesses. If
man claims that his rheumatism was contracted
in the service and can get cOmpasant doctor
and one or two old comrades to back up his
statement he gets upon the pension rolls for
lie, with nearly $1,000 arrears if his applica-
ton was put in before the first of last July.
score OF his neighbOrs may know that he left the
army sound man, and has been well ever
since until the approach of age made his Joints
ache, but it is not their business to Interfere.
and the Government has, under the present law.
no way of calling them in to swear to what they
know Everything facilitates the success of the
applicant whether he nave genuine case or not.
Indeed, the worse his case il, as a rule the
better are his chances of pension, for a man
with bad case will carefully cover up all
the weak spots in it, while an honest claimant
will often, through confidence that the Justice of
his demand will carry it through, neglect some
simple and essential point of evidence and find
his claim thrown out at Washington while
other men succeed who he knows never got a
scratch in the army.
A bill was prepared 10y the late Commissioner
providing for the appointment of district
agents to examine claimants near their homes
and take the testimony of ncghbors familiar
with their circumstances and history. 1t was
vehemently assailed by the Washington claim
agents at whose profitable business of making
up fraudulent cases it aimed direct blow For
time, under the influence of the lying circulars
sent out 10y these agents, the soldier element of
the country exhibited considerable hostility to
1t, and toward the Commissioner personally but
document prepared in the Pension Office, Civ
ing the facts as to the effect of the bill and ex~
planning the need of its passage, entirely
changed the current of feeling. All honest
pensioners and all honest claimants saw that
something must be done to protect the pensions
rolls from being flooded with bogus nvaIitis and
to preserve the pension system from becoming

unpopular by reason of the enormous and I'M
just burdens such fraudulent claims place upon
the taxpayers
The pension list is growing at an alarming
rate in spite of the fact that the war closed more
than sixteen years ago, and of the further fact
that all new claimants must date their disability
back to the time of their service in the army.
The new applications now amount to 1000 a
month. Every month, therefore, new men
enough to make two full regiments march up
to the public treasury and take their places as
regular recipients of public money. No fewer
than 10000 new cases have been filed at the
Pension Office during the past two years under
the stimulus of the Arrears of Pensions Act
The last appropriation for the payment of pen
sions was $5O,O0O,0O0, and the settlement of
large proportion of the claims for arrears will
increase the appropriation for next year to the
enormous total of $9O,OO0,0O0!
1t is mistake to suppose that the number of
pensioners will soon begin to decrease rapidly
by death. At first thought one would say that
men afflicted with wounds or chronic disease
would be short lived, but experience shows that
the longevity of pensioners is considerably
greater than the averages upon which life in
surancc tables are made up. There is good
reason for this. The soldiers were picked men
at the beginning of their service, and the expo
ana accidents Of army life sorted them
again. The weak sickened and died, and only
the strong survived. A man who went through
the war and is now alive sixteen years after its
close, has constitution of iron, and his chances
Of living to old age are excellent in spite of the
wound or the rheumatism or hernia for which
he draws Il pension. We must therefore expect
that the fresh burdens being placed upon the
Treasury by the enormous enlargement of the
pension list will have to be borne for long
period of years. If these burdens are just the
people will not grumble, but it is notorious that
thousands of men figure as pensioners who
have no rightEuf claim to be supported at the
expense of the taxpayers, and that other
thousands stand ready to take advantage of the
present loose and defective law. The new
Commissioners, if he is the right man for the
place. will resist from the outset the clamor of
the claim agents, and will favor the great and
wise measure advocated by his predecessor to
protect at the same time the interests of the
Government, which are the interests of the peo-
pie at large, aad those of the men who have
right to profit by the Nations generosity

Not long ago there was an cutlery on the
Continent OF Europe against American pork.
False reports were circulated in the newspa-
pcrs concerning it, and few cases of trichi
nOsis were made the basis of Governmental
action looking to the entire exclusion from
the markets of several countries of this. one
OF the most important staples of our export
trade. The telegraphic dispatches from Wash
ingtOn told us at the time of the prompt. in
telligent and successful measures taken by the
State Department to protect our trade against
n loss that would have amounted to MANY
millions of dollars annually, and would have
been felt by hundreds of thousands of
farmers in the Western States. We did
not know how thorough was the worl,
OF the Department In this direction, however,
until the appearance quite recently of a
pamphlet 1T has issued for circulation through
our Ministers and Consuls abroad. This pam
phlet, prepared by Mr.. Michael Scanan the sta
tistician OF the Department, who, by direction
OF Secretary BMine, visited in the spring all
the great centres Of the pork packing industry
in the country, and made careful study of
the business, sets ut rest all doubts about the
clean and healthy character of the salt pork
hams and lard put up for shipment abroad and
consumption at home, and disposes of all the
false stories circulated by the foreign press. 1t

In the Democratic party men of ideas are
scarce and men of sincerity scarcer. Mr..
Henry WattersOn, who is representative OF
both classes, has natural concern at the dis
organized, fOrmless and constituencies cOndi-
ton OF his party-a political organization
without a common set of views upon any vital
public question and he has made an effort to
supply this want. In an address to the Dem
ocrahc editors of Indiana, which we print in
part, he briefly recalls the history of the Pres
idential campaigns since the war, and proposes,
in view Of the sad luck of the past, platform
of six planks for the Democracy of the future:
Political assessments felony; IA revenue
tariff; navigation law reform; a corporation,
politico- economic taxation commission single
term Presidency 1t is in some respects,
pretty bundle of issues, but not the timber
to float a party on. Some of it is too light,
and some of it much too heavy. The Rcpub-
lican party will be glad, for example, at any
time to meet the Democracy upon the issue of
of Free Trade against Protection to American
labor.
The roll of failures kept by Messrs Dun,
Wiman g. Co. for the first six months
OF 1881 shows falling off as COM
pared with the same period last year, in
the number of bankruptcies, but not in
the aggregate amount involved The num-
Der of failures has fallen from 2,S62 to 2,497,
and from 4,O1S in 1879; but the total amount
involved is $4,000, 900, as compared with
$3.50, 100000 in the first six months of last
year, and $65,OOO,OOO in the first half of
1879. Under ordinary circumstances how
ever, the number of bankruptcies is better in
dex of the condition of trade than the size of
the failures, as the latter amount may be
swelled by large and exceptional disasters not
to be wholly ascribed to any cause having a
general depressing influence on trade. The
year 1881 therefore shows marked improve
ment over 1880. The warnings given, how
ever, against loose giving of credits and
rash investments so apt to make their appear
ance when good times are regarded as being
fairly established and the speculative spirit
rises to it's full height, like the Arabian de-
mon out of his prison-jar, are warnings which
the wise men of commerce will heed

problems ofeducation, intemperance and woman
suffrage. AS episodes in this discussion, he
stands up for Nihilism as valiantly as he ever
did for Abolitionism, and alludes to the polit-
ical journal "emptied into history" by
highly respectable New-England family, In
manner which shows that though he is now
close to three score and ten the acid quality
of his speech has not abated.
