The Commissioner in the character of Humpty
Dumpty"

We all of us remember this extravaganza"
Poor Humpty Dumpty, what misfortune, awkward
always sometimes perlous did he not undergol
Yet run over by policeman, crushed under
falling tree. dropped into raging river, over
whelmed by all manner of accidents, udicrous,
grotesque and absurd, how his painted face serene
and expressionless, rose again before the delighted
audience and his indiarubber vitality seemed proof
against all i'll that mortals, especially clowns, are
heirs to. - t Il .t.
And such, to compare great things to small, has
been the fortune of our Commissioners
AS the original Humpty Ddmpty never hnched
from his laundering pursuit of Harlequin and
Columbine, SO our grave and reverend Commits
sioner has never fnched from his devotion to his
pet measure Starting in 1876, he has pressed it
on Congress ever since with faith that is child
like and bland" .,sfte sa aa
4 He argued it laborousy before the House Com
mite on Pensions, where General Rice was chair
man. and they denounced it with delightful
unanimity, But the irrepressible Commissioner,
Il driven through the trap-door of the House, rose
without the loss of feather, through the trapdoor
Of the Senate. yN

A Terrible Bugaboo.

John A. Bentley's groans and lamentations are
indeed terrible We are about to be bankrupted.
Now. what will be, according to his own estimate,
the yearly payment on account OF arrears oue SOL
diers2 Why, about $25, 600 ,OOO-tfty cents apiece
for each citizen. Isn't it awful The aggregate
payments he estimates at $l2O,OOOoOO, or less ma"
$3.50 per citizen. Oh, isn't it awful TO be so near
bankruptcy? But, John, we have one consolation

applies the Carlisle tables" and finds the expccts-
tton of life from those tables at that age to be -
years and fraction But even this does not sat
isfy him. He assumes TO add about three years to
the Carlisle tables" and makes the average life Of
on invalid pensioner Of 48 years toenty.fUe years
more.
Now the Carlisle tables are for insurance and an
nutv purposes, and are based upon the idea Of av-
erage health in the person to whom they are ap-
Piled
But the pensioners are not in average health,
they are more or less disabled by injuries disease
contracted fifteen eighteen years ago Therefore
to use these tables as basis of estimate is ncor
rect We have better test Mr.. Bentley had
better test and having It, held il back and suhsti-
tuted what he knew to be false and deceptive one.
We have had in all upon the rolls 4l7OoO PEN
sioners in round numbers. OF these, many, very
many have been added within six years There
are now only $50 S02 What has become of the
100000 not now on the rolls On the Carlisle
tables,n Mr. Bentley cannot account for this great
mortality. On the known fact he can.
4 But we quote Mr.. Bentley against Mr. Bentley
We quote his HONEST estimate in 1876, against his
partial preiudiced and FALSE estimate in 1881
/ In 1876 in his official report he says The aver
age duration of pension is eight gears This
was the truth made up from observation and expert
ence in his own records, in his own Office, and at
4 time when he had no purpose to serve by conceal"
J, ing the truth, or by suggesting error.
This estimate is rational natural and correct, ac-
cords with the facts and is about what every man
conversant with pensioners would agree to. Now,
If you reduce the total number of probable pension
ers, as given by him, by the large sum of 100000,
and reduce the probable life of the pension from 90
years to years. you arrive at the total cost ofthe
Arrears Act p many hundred millions below what
he has placed it.
Yet there are men in Congress, in both Houses,
: who listen with wide ears open mouths, and imph~
cit belief to this who contradcts himself, who
makes false entries in his books who adds in all his
dead claims to his living ones, who forces impossi-
BILE calculations upon false data solely to impress
!, upon Congress the necessity of change which
3 would not be required if he would honestly and
/ candidy administer the law Congress has here
tofore made it.
e No such man ought to be at the head of such an
u Office no man so seconvicted of official misrepre-
sentation is entitled to the least credence before
. Congress or the Nation

Court of Pensions.

We truly hope, that the Hon. George W. Geddes,
of Ohio will succeed in getting his bill through for
the creation of Court of Pensions" at the pres
ent session We know that thousands of poor suf-
fering soldiers cheer him on to the good work. and
will with heartfelt joy, congratulate him. when his
sill becomes a law. Undeniably, the bill is in the
interest of honesty and humanity, and is in all
respects thoroughly practical way of bringing
up for co n-sderation and adjudication, the thou
sands of cases now causelessy shelved by the Com
missioner.
