PENSIONS.

The country has paid about $780,
100000 in pensions, and it ID natu-
raj to wonder if The annual payments
will not soon decline, but it is said
that only about half of the aggre-
gate expenditure has yet been made.
10 1870 the pension list had begun
to decline, and almost every one
who thought himself entitled to a
pension had then obtained it, but
subsequent legislation opened the
Hoodgates aud monstrous in
crease has been tho result. There
are now more than 100000 pensions
ers, and the annual value OF their
pensions is $50, 245,192, although
tho amount paid during the fiscal
year was $50, 100000, the adjusts
ment Of arrearsges requiring the
additional funds. There is no iudI-
cation that the publication of the list
of names will diminish the number
of fraudulent pensioners, whose sue
cessful greed causes the only COM
plant as to the burden Of pensions
which resulted from the war.
