THE howl goes on about Pensions
Commissioner Tanner, but there is not
one iota of evidence to show that fa-
vorltIsm has been allowed or that
fraud has been perpetrated. The
Washington letter in this issue of the
LIGHT is a complete reputation of the
favoritism charge. 1t is just as likely
that the charge of fraud will be as
fully disproved when full invest iga-
ton is made. 1t is the payment of
pensions at all that hurts and that is
at the bottom of ninety-nine hundreds
ofall this disgruutIement about Tan
ner.

PENSION BUGAROO.

There is an awful howl raised seri-
occasionally and oftener over the
wasteful extravaganza of the pension
department. That $50, 100000 annual
expenditure for pensions is rolled I'M
der the tongue of the democratic
bowler until he actually convinces
himself that the country is not only
impoverishing itself paying pensions.
but that every soldier is riling up
wealth as the result of the ill-judged
ill-guided and reckless policy of the
republican administration on the
question of pensions. A careful re-
view of the pension reports would dis
abuse any man of candid mind of this
false view of the situation. The av-
erage amount paid each pensioner is
less than $3.50 per pensioner and
two-thirds of the number secure only
IS per month or less.
The numbers borne upon the rolls at
last report were 1876, $50. OF this num-
Der 63, 142 get So per month; 1851
get s. per month; 62,2l0 get 81 a
month 81, 722 get 81 month and 2S3
get 81 month. No one save invalid
officers and those who have lost
limbs or incurred extra disability
equivalent thereto get more than s.
per month. This S. per month pen
sion only amounts to 26 2-3 cents a
day and there are over 100, 900 on the
rolls who receive only one-half this
amount or less. So far from the pen
sions' payment being excessive, the
mere pittance paid in so many in
stances is a discredit to the country
in whose service these men were in
valided. No one denies that the sum
of 100000 is something of tax
upon the resources of this country,
but it is only a small part of the eX-
pense incurred to preserve the
country, and those men who
offered life for national eXis-
tence were not responsible for the
necessity which called them out. Crit
icism upon this matter comes with a
mighty poor grace from those who
plunged the country into war to de-
stroy the national existence. The de-
tenders of national unity do not sane
ton rash and unnecessary eXpendi-
lures for disabled and invalided SOL
diers. Thousands who wore the blue
are to-day suffering the effects of the
pension money or applied for the
same, and were all men who enlisted
under the stars and stripes given a
just equivalent for the health and
ability lost in the years lS6l-65 there
would he marvellous addition to the
pension rolls OF this country.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Next Thing to n Goose Egg Mt the Stock
Exchange.

The stock call yesterday morning was barren
of results SO far as sales were concerned At
the close the familiar goose egg ornamented
the board. 1t was all talk and no cider. It
should not be inferred from this remark, how
ever. that Captain Barbour is in the habit of
keeping apple juice on tap. Said a broker:
There are few orders in the way, and the
market will probably drag along for some time
vet do not look for much of revival of the
speculative interest before fall" Bids and
offers were too wide apart to be compromised
in the existing condition of the market. Prices
were well sustained, and no attempt was made
to force ANYTHING to the sticking point Phila-
delnhia Gas could have been sold at 36Jb but
was held point higher. Central Traction was
in the market at S2H, Citizens at 7O1I and
Pittsburg at 523z, these figures being slight
advance over those of Tuesday. Electric was
offered at 54lz. with 53A bid. Peoples Natural
Gas and Pipeage Company was wanted at

unchanged.
Junction Railroad was sold III. Philadelphia
Gas was little stronger, being held at BIZ.
Electric was weaker, at 81 There was no
change in the fractions. La Noria was offered
at Is[ with TX bid. A broker said: 1.-THE per-
sistency with which this stock is held up shows
that it Is controlled by q clique. Every effort
to depress 1t is met by counter movement,
and the sales permitted are just enough to hold
1t level Itlooks to me as If 1t were being worked

everything in shipshape." There were no other

The principal difficulty of produce markets
arises from delay of trains. All stuff coming
in is more or less behind time, and perishable
goods are deprecated in quality. Old potatoes
are active and firm. New are seeking lower
level. Home-raised strawberries begin to come
in freely and are in splendid shape. Maryland
berries are more or less delapidated, owing to
delay of trains. Continuous rains have de-
pressing influence on trade. Eggs are firm at

The Oil Market Holds its Own on a Small

The Oil Market Holds its Own on a Small
Business.
The oil market was quiet and firm yesterday,
with narrow range of prices. 1t opened at
S41Sc, &c higher than the close of the previous
day, but soon sold off to SS54c, where it hung
for some time with very little doing. Better
selling in the afternoon brought about reac-
ton, and the price advanced to the opening
figure, S41Sc. From this point the market grad
ually receded to 8S1Sc. and closed with bids at
that price. Tuesdays clearings were 100000
barrels. Among the bullish influences at work
during the day may be mentioned the increased
f1rmness in the general stock list and report
that process had been discovered for refining
Ohio oil for domestic purposes. Sproul & Law
rence's field news was to this effect:
Taylorstown-1he Marshall Oil Company's
Ellwood No. l well will be drilled in to-day
McKeown's Curry Farm well is through the
Gantz sand and shows nothing but little gas.
Turkey Foot-The well on the Campbell farm
is dry. The Fisher Oil Company will commence
operations on the Hooker farm.
Butler-The Shaffer Bros. well, on the Logan
farm, is dry. This is considered black eye to
that territory, being the third dry hole since
the completion of the Frazier well, which at
tracted unusual attention.
A special from Cadiz O., says: Berea Grit
well No. came in this morning and proved a
big gasser, with fair showing of oil. BY the
ignition of the gas two men were badly burned.

Once More.
Business at the banks yesterday was of aver

a Wood street cashier: 1.-THE work of rebuild
ing Johnstown and repairing other losses by
the flood will cause heavy demandfor money.
In my opinion there will not be much idle cap
ital here three months hence" The Clearing
House report was up to the old figure, the ex-
changes being 81, 084, ,929 IS. and the balances
$3f7. .65S So, showing that business is getting on
its feet again.
