THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Report of the Board-Increase Of Drunk
ennass Owing to a Fool Law.

ennSss Owing to a Fool Law
WASHINGTON. November 14,-The an
nual report OF the President of the Board OF
Commissioners of the Soldiers Home COW
ers the period from October l, 1884, to Sep
TENDER 30, 1885. The disbursements during
the year were over S243, 1853. including
So, 533 expended for the new annex build
ing and for other permanent improvements.
one hundred and ninety-two discharged
soldiers received their original admission to
the home during the year, one less than the
number admitted the previous year. Sixty
two Of these had served twenty or more
years as enlisted men and the remaining I3o
were entitled to admission by disabilities
incurred in the service. The number of men
WIFE in any given period seek the benefits
of the Home directly after leaving the ser
vice is a very small percentage of those dis
charged from the army in the same period
under circumstances which appear 20 give
them a right to those benefits In the year
ended June so there were S33 soldiers dis
charged from the army for disability, ane
vet only eighty-four were received at the
Home. This, says the report, is somewhat
significant in view of the fact that large
number OF these disabled must, after few
wears al most, seek an asylum somewhere
and the Soldiers Home will undoubtedly
have To receive and maintain the greater
number of those who become unable to
make living for themselves. There has
BEEN says the report, very great Increase
in drunkenness amongst the inmates during
the year, the cause for which is laid at
the door of the existing law for the DISPOSE
ton of the pension money OF inmates.
About One-tenth of the pensioners assign
their pensions to relatives. The other
nine-teuths on whose account more than
$4,000 is paid quarterly to the treasurer
of the home, are permitted TO draw small
SUBS from time to time, while the larger
portions remain undrawn so hong rs they
continue to be inmates OF the home. This
fund, the report says, becomes good basis
for credit at grogshOpS, and IS constant
temptation to those who are easily III
fluenced. and in many instances no doubt
the possession Of the money which must
be given up to the pensioner when
he is discharged becomes the sole OBJ
ject in leaving the home. In few days
the money is Squandered and the Commits
siOners are asked to admit destitute old
soldier to the benefits of the Home. There
are actual cases of this description in the
alIlSnOuSe III tnlS CITY. oucIl, Says tic
report, lis the effect of a law which was
framed and passed under circumstances
which created morbid sentiment in behalf
of the pensioned soldiers. 1t is conceived
TO be impossible to represent the facts to
Congress in such a light as will procure re-
medal legislation and the Commissioners
are compelled IN defense of the interests of
the Home to fix limit to the number of
admissions for such cases, and to permit
tile penSioner to enjoy his liberty without
interval" The report is signed by General
Sheridan. President of the Board.
