One Hundred and Forty Million Dollars
Year for Pensions.

Year for Pensions.
Tho Senate's Dependent Pension bill,
passed q few weeks ago by that body. called
for an annual payment of about Ss7, OO0, 900.
Mr.. MoBRILLs substitute. incorporating In
1t pension for age which has Just passed
the House by vote Of 179 against 70, will
probably add over $5,00O,O0O the first year,
making total Of $42,O0O,O0O. with large
increases during the next fifteen years.
1t Is therefore certain that an overwhelm-
ing majority OF both the Senate and the
House is already recorded In favor OF adding
100000 a year to our OUTLAWS for PEN
sions. and the only question Is whether
900 shall be added. President HAIR
RIsoN has urged the Senate measure and
there is not the slightest doubt that he
would also gladly sign 1t as amended by
the House.
The pension appropriation for the year
beginning July 1 exceeds $97, 100000. The
current years actual disbursement will ex-
coed its appropriation by about $s,0O0.OO0.
which sum is made up in deficiency bill.
Were this an exceptional case 1t might teach
nothing; but the previous years expenses
also exceeded Its appropriations by about
Ss.000.000. Each years estimates Of the
Interior Department are based on the legis-
latiOn Of previous years; but before July
comes around a great additional expense
has usually been created by another SEES
siOn's acts Of Congress. Accordingly. We
find that Secretary WISDON'S annual
report Of Dec. 2. 1859. instead of relying
wholly On the pension appropriation for the
present year as guide 10 its expenses, sels
