SETTLING ARMY ACCOUNTS.


pUAtu ihWitnUOh Ol war NihllnNs
The second auditor of the treasury, in charge
ofarmy and war department accounts, reports
that there were Il, g2s unsettled accounts and
claims In his Ollice on July l. 1885; that he re-
Ccivcd 2j,1ll and adjusted 2i,gSS during the
year, and had l2,6sl on hand at It's close, IN
CludIug 8Tls7 claims of soldiers for arrears OF
pay and bounty. WITH an inadequate force OF
clerks the auditor sees no prospect of bringing
the work up 10 date 50 long as claims arising
out Ol the late war continue To be hled at the
rate of ono thousand per month.
The claims pending include l,22i claims OF
Indians who served inthc war No action has
been taken IN these cases other than to ae.
knowledge their receipt and To call upon the
ndiutant general Of the army for the military
history OF the soldiers. The applications IN
muny cases arc very imperfect, aud even in
those thut are correct in form no confidence l.,
felt in the statements OF the claimants ana
their witnesses, nor has the auditor any means
Of verifying or dispruying them. In sOtue III
stances questions VI Identity, hcirship, &C., are
involved that can only be determined by Spe-
Clal investigation The auditor RECOMMENDS
that small appropriation DO placed ut his
disposal TO deirny the expense OF inNestiga-
ton.
The accounts OF the Soldiers home for
moneys belonging to the estates of deceased
soldiers OF the United States army which have
remained unclaimed for three years are nearly
all settled. AssOOn as they are disposed of the
accounts of deserters will bu taken up. In the
meantime the adjutuut general has been re-
quCstud to furnish such Information in regard
TO soldiers who have deserted from the regular
army since 1915 rs will enable the auditor to
ascertain the amount of "al iorietures ON ac-
count of desertOn' which are set apart for the
support Oi the home.
The total amount, from all sources, placed
10 the credit of the home to Sept, 80, 1881, was
S)lISlOis. From this Sl1l,OA.G6 have been
paid to the home TO meet current expenses,
leaving s3i33lll2 to the credit OF the iund.
The auditor ronews his Recommendation OF
last year for the passage of All act which Will
bar all claims growing ont Of the war not pre-
seuted within one or Two years.

RELIABLE election estimates are plen-
tiful just now. The New York World of
yesterday has an exceedingly reliable
special from Indianapolis giving the sit
uation in Indiana. It was prepared in
the World Office with excrucisting care.
Its figures are so reliable as to be fairly
tiresome. Itconcedes that at some points
the democrats. will lose. 1t names the
points at which these losses will be
heaviest. Among them it says is "Van-
derburg county, where Terre Haute is
situated" As Terre Haute is in Vigo
county it is painfully apparent that the
hireling in the World sauctum who wrote
the dispatch from Indianapolis was SO
bowed down by his anxiety to be reliable
that he slipped up on his geographical
accuracy. The amiable Mr.. Pulitzer
should behead the wretch at once.

the position shows no material change, but

Increase Of the Human Race.

According to the most recent calcula.

world Is now I,424.ooo,oOo. 1t is we'll
known that not few thinkers have called
IN question the account OF the origin ol
mankind, as given in the Biblical writings,
on the ground that it was impossible that in
the period in question SO many could have
descended from two ancestOrs-Adam and
Eve. This objection, however, Euler has
undertaken to meet by showing that, in a
process Of doubling the population from
one pair it might amount to any conceiva.
ole number. 1t has been laid down that a
population can double itself in twenty five
years. It's true that, II the population in.
creased to its present pitch in $3.50 years,
it may have doubled itself every two hun.
ired years. The inhabitants Of the earth
would thus, in two hundred years approach
3,ooooooo'o; and at the same rate the dif:
ference between the birth rates and the
death rates would be nearly constant, al.
though themselves varying widely.
