Help for the Orphans.
Natchez Democrat

NatcneZ democrat.
During the session of the Mississippi
Press Convention in this city, Major Banks
dale, on behalf of his associate in business
Col. J. L. Power, handed to the Treasurer
of the Protestant Orphan Asylum in this
city, draft for one hundred and fifty-four
dollars and thirty-fve cents, for the use of
! that benevolent institution.
Col. Power, it will be remembered when
the terrible fires in Michigan left so many
of the people in that State in a suffering
condition, made an appeal to the Masonic
Lodges in Mississippi for aid for these suffer
ing people. When making his last last re-
mittauce of $154.35, Col. Power inclosed to
the Grand Secretary of Michigan a letter
from the Managers of the Natchez Asylum
to himself, stating the low condition of the
finances Of the Asylum, and suggested that
if the wants of the Michigan sufferers had
been amply supplied this was a good way
to invest the amount sent to them. A re-
ply soonafter came from the Grand Secre-
tary of Michigan, stating that the Legisla-
ture of that State had made large appro-
priation for the sufferers in addition to what
had already been contributed by the people
of the country, and that he would be very
glad if Col. Power would recall the draft,
and give the money to the Natchez Asylum.
The generous donation came in good
time to. relieve the wants of the inmates of
this noble charity, and is alike creditable
to Col. Power and the Grand Lodge of
Michigan.

Courier-Journal: The other noticeable
feature of the Indiana platform is the tariff

and prevent the creation of monopolies, the
Indiana Democrats are in accord with the ut

In the matter Of Plumb's trouble with the

our Judgment that the Government will be

the interests OF the Government were consid-
cred the Public Printer would BIO permitted to

Amount Paid for Pensions.

From a memorandum recently complied by
the Commissioner of Pensions, 1t appears that
tho actual amount paid for pensions on &C.
count Of the late war to March 1, 1882, is
$5OO,7S1, $3.50.
1t Is estimated that there are now on the
pension roll the names OF 100000 pensioners
OF the late war. This does not include 10000
(estimatedl service pensions on account of the
war OF 1912.
The annual value OF the 100000 late war
pensioners is S27, 100000. and OF tho 10000
war OF 1912 pensioners $2,S0O,00O, or an ag-
gregate annual value Of all of $50, 100000.
Estimating tho disbursements for May and
June, tho total paid for pensions during tho
current fiscal year Will not vary much from
$65, 100000.
April /, 1882, there were on file 217,162
pending claims, which II allowed would BIO
entitled 70 arrears; estimating 17h per cont.
for rejection and 81 200 as the average arrears
in each case, there would be paid II allowed
within the year the sum OF $211, 90O,SO0.
There are 53,179 pending claims which were
fled subsequent to the Limitation imposed by
the arrears act, and when allowed, pension
commences from date of filing. Deduct liz
per cent. for rejection, and the average first
payment would be one years pension at $11O
per case, or "a, S26, 030.
If the two Glasses Just referred to should be
Mt once added to the roll (223,0 32) It would In.
crease the annual value OF pensions $21, 800.
