Fraudulent Pensions.

In round numbers, the annual charge on
the Treasury for pensions is sixty millions OF
dollars, or more than one dollar head for
every man. women and child in the United
States of all races. This liberality far eX
ceeds that of any other nation. 1t is excep-
tional benefcence.
Year by year the belief has taken posses
sion of the public mind that enormous frauds
have been perpetrated on this fund, so sacred
in its character. A late Commissioner OF
Pensions alleged that fully twenty per cent.
of the pensions on the rolls were fraudulent.
Members of Congress, under dread of the
soldier vote, have failed to investigate charges
of corruption and collision with any earnest
purpose to uncover the crimes. Sentimental
ism and cunning management of legislation
have aided a powerful Ring, with its head
quarters in Washington, and with organized
branches in all the great cities and towns of
the country.
There are certain facts which require no
comment, and which reveal upon their face
clear cases of fraud. Take as an illustration
the pensioners of the war of 1872 More
than seventy years have passed away since
the conclusion Of peaeei yet, according to the
last annual report of the Commissioner, there
were three thousand eight hundred and nine
ty-eight surviving soldiers, and nineteen thou
sand FIVE hundred and twelve widows on the
rollsI
At what age did these soldiers enter the
army, and at what age and year were the
marriages contracted that resulted in this
crowd Of widows? Satisfactory answers to
these questions would either exhibit mar
velIous longevity in contradiction to estab-
lished physical laws, or they would show that
the pensions were fraudulent.
The new Commissioner has just stricken
two hundred pensioners from the rolls in
the District of Columbia They had drawn
hundreds of thousands Of dollars from the
Treasury after their original rights-=if they
ever had any-had ceased, Most OF them are
women, and many widows secretly remarked,
and therefore barred by the law from reeeiv
ing pensions.
Fraudulent cases were recently discovered
in Philadelphia, where a system had been
regularly adopted of cheating the Govern
ment by personation. of deceased pensioners.
The surface of these frauds has barely been
scratched, but the discoveries already made
Justify the belief that further experience and
investigation would demonstrate that the
Treasury has been robbed of many millions
in this way.
Brave soldiers and honest pensioners who
deserve veil of their country, and who have
earned all they feeeiye from the Treasury,
and the gratitude Of their fellow citizens he
sides, have an interest in protecting from the
disgrace of fraud the rolls of honor with
which their names are associated. Certainly
there is no good reason why Congress should
not guard these rolls by careful scrutiny, as
is done In the case of other appropriations.
The pepsiop fund is voted without word OF
debate, and as matter Ut course.

The Americans Fictions.

The Baltimore american is never so
happy as when dealing in fiction regarding
matters pertaining to Democratic affairs,
and never so unreliable 1t can always
discover what no one else ever dreamed Of,
aud unfortunately the Democracy have no
daily paper in Baltimore to follow up its
mistatements and promptly refute them
1t has begun, now, to speculate on the next
Senatorship, and it can see contests on that
score where the people never think Of
them. Last week it remarked that the
primaries in Kent county resulted in
partial defeat of Mr.. German on the vote
for clerk. On that point the Chestertown
Transcript says that both candidates were
favorable to Senator German, but that he
entered no more into the contest than did
the Ameer Of Afghanistan. The Tran
script further remarks that all four of the
candidates for the Legislature were under
stoodtofavor the reelection of Mr.. German.
The Cecil primaries will be held to-
day, and the american will mix the
Senator in with the contests there twill
continue to do SO in every county, and will
endeavor to show great opposition to him.
The An.erican has a right to criticise
and make all the capital for its party that
it can, for it needs capital badly now; but
it should have regard for truth. This may
be asking too much of it, and Democrats
that chance to read its political articles
would do well to take what it says cum
graao sails.

An Energetic shaker.

A dispatch from Callicoon, N. Y, on Sun.
day last, says Two cows in pasture on the
Houste farm, at Brookvale, became engaged
in fierce fight on Friday afternoon. For
several minutes they gored one another terri,
bly,, while other COWS huddled together around
them, interested spectators of the conflict. A
.S-year-old bull was in the field. His atten-
ton was finally attracted to the fight between
the COWS, and he rnshed across the lot with
lowered head and believing with rage. The
COWS that were gathered about watching the
contest scattered as the bull approached. he
threw himself at full speed against the two
fighting cows. SO great was the shock that
one of the cows was thrown in the air and she
fell across barbed wire fence 10 feet away;
The bull rushed upon the other COW and
struck her blow with his head that knocked
her dead in her tracks. The cow that was
thrown over the fence was so badly hurt that
she had to be killed.

We published recently some account Of
the extravaganza and waste in the Agri-
cultural Bureau at Washington, and the
exhaustion of the appropriations. On
Monday the twenty-one clerks, male and
female, had to be discharged until July list,
when the appropriation for next year will
be available. The Agricultural Bureau,
for some years past, has been presided over
by theorists and politicians. Large appro-
priations have been spent annually, and
huge volumes have been printed and cir
culated, but the benefit to agriculture has
been very small. The reports are full OF
scientific terms, which few people under
stand, and the display of scientific know
ledge seems to have been the chief effort Of
the Commissioners. The reports also en-
braced treatise on subjects of little impor-
lance, and the experiments seem to have
been conducted to crafty the curiosity of
the Commissioners. Political jobs have
been discovered in some of the contracts,
and the summer and fall months, of late,
have usually been spent by the Commits
sioners in stump speaking for the Repub-
lican party.

Henry Myer Of Baltimore, was on Mon
day convicted of beating his wife, and SEN
fenced by Judge Stewart to twelve months
imprisonment and to receive twenty lashes
aweIl laid on. Now, we shall hear again,
for the hundredth time, from sentimental
blockheads, what s'relic of barbarism "
the whippiag-post is. The quivering flesh
of this brute, under the sherif's cat, is
about the only argument that will bring
him to a proper realization of the eRormity
of the infiction he visited upon his wife.
FIogging, for such an offense, is most
righteous penalty, and, as it is in kind, it
is emincntly proper, aud viii doubtless be
effective in putting stop to this dastardly
practice.

J.. G. Dennis, Of Alachua county, Flor
ida. died last week He was one of the
rascals that helped to steal the Presidency
in 1876, by manipulating the returns of
Archer precinct in his county so that the
vote Of Florida was counted for Hayes.
Dennis died of dclirium tremens, from
drinking two quarts Of whiskey on wager.
Thus another Of the famous carpet-baggers
gbo conspired to defeat the will Of the
people has come to a bad end. 1t is note
worthy fact that all, or nearly all, of the

from the highest to the lowest. have come
to grief one way or another. Some have
died violent deaths, some are within the
walls of penitentiaries, and others are out;

John Shields, letter carrier of Baltimore,
was dismissed from the service few days
ago on the charge of being an offensive
partisan. It was shown that he was pro
fame aud abusive to those of opposite politics;
that he said he would shoulder musket to
keep Democrats Outof power,&c. Inmaking
the dismissal Postmaster Veazey made an
apologize explanation Of his course, and
now Shields applies for reinstatement, and
backs the application by petition signed
by large number of business men, The
dismissal should have been made without
explanation, and Shields should not be re-
instated. His partisanship was amply
proven, and his conduct after the election
was disgraceful, even for a citizen, and I'M
bearabIc in a public servant.

Low Wages and Low Prices,

The one mitigating circumstance about hard
timea aud low wages is the increased pur'
chasing power of dollar. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin has been figuring on the
subject, and comes to the conclusion that 81
will buy as much of the necessaries of life to-
day as Sl.35 in 1875, Sl.32 in 1885, 81 cents
in lS45, and S1.19 in 1925. In other WQrdgt
the purchasing power Of 2 dqllR is - pei
cent gEeater than il was in 1898, aud 81 per
cent greater than it was in 1855. dollar
will buy more to-day than in most previous
periods in the history of the nation.
