MR.. RANDALL AND THE PEN
SIONS.
OF THE ROLL WILL BE ABOUT
S44 900. GOO.

HE FINDS THAT THE ANNUAL VALUE
OF THE ROLL WILL BE ABOUT
$44,000,000.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Mr. Ran
dali has been giving much study to
the subject of the pensions. He has
tabulated the result of this examln-
alton for the use of the Appropria-
tons Committee. He finds the
amount paid for arrears of pensions
in cases that had been allowed prior
to the Arrears act of Jan. 25, 1879,
to be 24,804, 964 The amount Of
arrears allowed since 1879 up to the
end of the last fiscal year was $780,
461 200, while the yearly value of
the pensions allowed since 1879, in
excess of the average annual allow
ance of II 900 cases, was SO, IA, 4S2,
making the total cost, which it is
esr imated is chargeable to the Ar
rears of Pensions act up to July 1,
1888, $3.50, 013,646. 49,
Mr.. Randall also makes the fol-
lowing estimate:
First-Since 1879, 60,225 cases
have been allowed in excess of an
annual average allowance oil 900.
On this number one years pension
to June 80, 1884, chargeable to ar
rears, would at the yearly value of
$105 to each case be $6,323,625.
Second There are $4,000 pend
ing claims entitled to arrears, of
which it is estimated so per cent.
will be allowed at an average of
81 200 to each case, making total
of S106, 500.
Third There are 1886 pending
claims filed since 1880 not entitled
to arrears on which an average of
two years is due, making total of
s11 ,842,11O.
There is therefore an estimated
total due on pending claims ofS124,-
725, 735, to which, by adding the
amount paid to July, 1883, of $780,
013, 646, makes total of 1854, 739,-
381, which is the sum chargeable to
the Arrears of Pensions act, except
such proportion as would nave been
allowed if the Arrears act had not
passed.
! The result of Mr.. RandalPs esti-
mate is that the total roll of pension
ers will be brought up to about
425, 900, and the annual value of the
roll will be about $44, 100000 This
estimate is much more careful and
thorough than those that Commits
sioner Dudley has made, and no
where near so extravagant. Mr..
Dudleys estimates have already
been proven TO be so far out of the
way that the Appropriations Com
mittee the other day paid but little
heed to his statement before the
committee.

The nomination of Mr.. Payne, by
the Democratic caucus, for the u. S.
Senate, 10 a significant and startling
proof of the power of money in
modern politics. Who is Payne? Is
he a man of intellectual power2 Is
he q statesman of great brain and
ripe experience? Nobody ever heard
of him as such. Well, who and what
is he Simply millionaire. A man
worth a great deal Of money. If
things keep on as they have been

tirely of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
scrubs" whe have, in one dishonest
specu latien and another, made a
great amount of money and then
paid for votes enough to elect them.
And then the chains of slavery will
be rivited upon the limbs Of the
American people in such a way that
nothing but bloodshed and red hot
revolution will set them free. Just
think what a change has come over
our Senate at Washington. Clay,
Webster, Calhoun, Cass, Crittenden,
Sumner, Benton, Corwin, Douglas,
Bell and others of like character,
brainy men, poor in purse but rich
in honor, serving their country for
their country's glory-serving the
people for the GOOD of the people
and look at the Senate today
mai ,rity of them "hueksters, trad
ers, "traffickers, selling themselves
and their votes to the great corpor-
ations for money, buying their seats
in the Senate chamber for the pur-
pose of serving class instead OF the
whole people We are told thatthe
Standard Oil company has two SEN
ators, the Union Pacific railroad sew
eral. the Northern Pacific railroad
two. Central Pacific two, the lum-
Der monopolists of Michigan three,
the Wilmington Match company
two, the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road one-all elected specially to
serve these corporations. Twenty
Senators are "millionaires," them
selves, while enough more are the
personal representatives of "mill-
ionaire" corporations to give them
a controlling vote in the Senate.
This is the reason why it is now 80
hard to get any reform legislation
by Congress. The farmers, the me-
chanics, the working people are
mere no bodies, they have no rights
which these purse proud, lordly Sc
majors are bound to respect. We
are rapidly drifting to point where
q man is not respectable unless he 10
rich-where the common people,
the millions who make their living
by the labor of their hands, are to
be regarded as mere sorfs, doomed
TO pay taxes to support class of
rich aristocrats, without brains,
without morals, without principle,
without honor, without anything
except money. But, after this
there will be something else.

HuRRAH ZOE GRESHAH!

In the contest between the Post
master General and the Louisiana
lottery company our sympathies, as
well as our judgment, are decidedly
with the Postmaster General. That
Louisiana lottery company is a gi-
gantie gambling hell. Its Influence
IL evil and only evil. 1t is under
mining the morals of the whole
country and educating the people
into n great community of gamblers.
Millions upon millions of dollars are
annually poured into its treasury
from every quar- ter OF the Union
and the members of the company
are becoming immensely rich. All
this money is taken from the earn
ings of the people without any con-
aideration. Once in while some
one person draws a prize of few
hundred or a few thousand dollars,
and the fact is advertised broadcast
for the purpose Of tempting others
to invest, but we hear nothing of the
millions of letters going to New Or
leans containing from one to fifty
dollars each, and for which not one
cent is ever received. Gambling is
wrong, demoralizing and degrading.
The laws of the country prohibit it
and wise men everywhers condemn
il. Because this monster institutien
is chartered by the State of Louis
lana is no reason why it should be
allowed to exist to prey upon the
purses of the poor and to degrade
the morals of the young men. The
Postmaster General, so far as he can,
has closed the United States mails
against this evil company. 1t is to
be hoped that the laws Of the coun-
try will fully sustain him upon the
high ground he has assumed, and
that finally this wicked institution
may be broken down.
