tempers it a great deal had neither refreshment

THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1886.

The Senate one day last week per-
formed the feat Of passing $50 bills.
1t need hardly be added that they
were private bills, and nearly all
pension bills. One of them granted
q pension of $1,000 q year. Eleven
others granted pensions Of 5000 each
o year. Five granted pensions of
$3.50 ayear. What the total annual
amount called for by the $50 bills
will he no one has yet calcnlated.
But after passing an annual pension
appropriation bill of more than sew
enty-fve millions, a Mexican pension
bill which first and last may cost
seventy-five millions more, and a bill
for increase of pensions which will
cost more than six millions annually,
or perhaps in all a third seveEty-five
millions. Congress will be ready to
consider a few hundred individual
pension bills, more or less, a small
matter.
