United States Senator Henry G. Davis in
his investigation of the Pensions appropri-
ations has brought out the following ap-
paliing facts:
"It has been between sixty and seventy
wears since the war of 1912, and there are
now on the pension roll nearly thirty-fyc
thousand pensioners OF that war, about ten
thousand of whom are survivors. The rest
are widows and dcpendants. and it costs be
tween 100000 and Si,00O,00O per annum.
There were perhaps ten times rs many per-
sons engaged in the late war Is there were
in that of 1872. If this estimate is correct,
and think it is, we shall for the next sixty
years be paving an average per annum for
pensions of about forty million dollars,
making q grand total of about two billion
four hundred million dollars which Is more
than our national debt now Is, and about as
much as it was at any time during the late
war"
The number Of soldiers called out in
the war Of lSl2-lj was probably not one
tenth is many rs those enlisted during the
civil war In this war the aggregate num-
Der furnished on call was 2,653,062, and,
reduced to a three years standard, the To-
tai number of our volunteers was 2,129,O4l.
Ii is appalling to believe that, at the end OF
sixty-hye years from the closing Of the
war between the States, there will still re-
main between 100000 and 100000 names
upon our pension rolls. Since 1861 the
United States has paid Si5j,71S,5O5 for
pensions. In 1866 the annual disbursements
on this account were $l3, ,459,996. In 1880
the disbursements on pension account were
$572O.54O. The number of applicants for
pension relief in 1874 was 1874 In 1877
there were 22,7l5 applicants. In 1850, and
undoubtedly in consequence Of the passage
of the arrearages of pensions BILL the num-
Der rose to 14l ,46G The average amount
paid each pensioner under this act, which
was passed March 3, 1879, Is S560.l5. If
the applications filed for the one year 1880
should be granted in the shape Of pension
arrears it would call for S7S,OO0,OOO from
the treasury"

The morning broke;
And soon the crystal chalice Of the air
All pure and clear,
Was brimming DER with music sweet and rare
From far and near.

So fresh and bright
That weary faces with yigiis long,
SufFused with light;
And turning toward the beauteous eastern sky
. In glad surprise,
Reflected half the glories from on high
In happy eyes
And in the rosy shadows OF the morn
In solemn hush Of Joy and love, was born
To human strife.
A buried heart. long cold as drift Of snow,
Meath breast as white,
Stirred strangely in the rapturous morning
glow,
And throbbed with might.

And long oppressed .,
Sped outward through the azure and the gold
