THE PENSION FRAUD.
AMAZING RESULTS OF SOME lNFAM-
GUS LEGISLATION.
Already Deficiency of $4,000, 900 in
the Pension Account for This Fiscal
Year-Where Will This Flood Leave the

National Finances
WASHINGTON, D. c., Ncv. 19.-Under
the Dependent Pension bill, passed
June q, 1890, $4,000 claims have al
ready Leen fled
The total annual expenditure which
these claims, exclusive of all other pen
sions, will cause is, at the lowest pos
sible estimate, 100000.
BY the end of another fiscal year the
total number Of claims FLED under the
same act will probably amount to 900,-
OOO
The total annual expenditure which
these claims, exclusive of all other pen
sionS, will cause is estimated at S54,-
100000.
Of these claims ninety-six per cent.
are filed through attorneys.
At the rate allowed by the law, $40
for each case, the fees of the attorneys
under this act alone will amount to
SS,64O,OOO.
BY the end of another fiscal year the
new act and the operation of the old
acts will have increased our pension ex-
penditure to more than $500, 100000
year.i
And this new act was not passed at
the demand or desire Of the old soldiers,
but at the instigatlon of the pension
attorneys.
When the bill was under discussion
in Congress We were told that the great
est number of claims of allkinds which
could possibly be filed under it from
now to the end of time was 100000, and
5000 was much more likely to be the
| figure.
Instead of that in the first four
months and a half of the law $4,000
claims have been filed and more are
coming at the rate of 5000 or 10000 a
week.
We are told that s40,OOO,0O0 year
was the largest amount that could ever
| by any possibility be called for by the
bill and that S30,00O,000 would prob
ably prove to be the actual figures.
Instead of that the claims already
! filed represent an annual payment Of
nearly S50OO0,O0O.
It was asserted that the additional
expense would be so light that it would
not be necessary to make extra appro.
priations at the time the bill passed,
but the amount called for could readily
be paid out of the general pension
fund.
Instead of that there will be def
cheney this year in the pension account
of S1S,OO0,000 to S20,OOO,000, and it is
grave question it the revenues of the
county will be sufficient to meet these
and the other expenses OF the govern
ment.
Never was an ela5orately supported
forecast THAT failed so completely.
Never was such plausible demonstra-
tion of figures so utterly demolished by
the facts.
There are now pending in the Pen
sion Bureau one million claims of all
kinds.
With the clerical force at the bu-
reau's disposition 1t is possible to DIS
pose of about 5000 cases month.
In other words the cases are piling
up through the operation of the new
law twice as fast as they can be hand
led.

hear the roll of the drums and the clear
call of the clarionS, and the thunder CT

wild rush as of millions Of troops in

as from fourteen hundred million

ed. Total means these and cases Of
reissue and increase
Any person who wants to realize
just how kind and generous and liberal
the United States government is to its
old soldiers, should pay visit to the
great pension office building which
stands between + and G and Fourth
and Sixth streets.
It is monstrous brick structure,
bigger than the New York postolfice,
and a beehive of industry from morn
ing to night. Inside there is an open,
rotunda that would accommodate :,
race track, the floor filed from one end
to the other with cabinet after cabinet
containing the papers of pension cases.
The four floors rising around the
rotunda look like the cell of beehive.
On each floor are innumerable little
doors, and behind each little door is
room where the busy clerks are noting
and arranging and filling in cabinets
the papers in thousands Of other PEN
sion cases. A steady roar of subdued
conversation and rustling of papers
goes up all the time. l don't know
anything that gives one so good an
idea of the immense amount of work
that is going forward.
In this place 5000 pension applica-
tions are being assorted and filed every
day. More than 10000 separate pieces
of mail are received every day. More
than 5000 separate pieces of mail are
despatched every day. Here are on file

ment, receive pensions aggregating

the papers and evidence In the cases of
the 100000 other persons who want to
receive pensions. Here are the records
of the expenditures for pensions since
the beginning of the government,
when they amounted to mere tritie,
down to ten years ago, when they
amounted to S3S,OOO,O0O a year, and
James a. Garfield said they had reach

cross toward the sky, gave up his life
on the point of score Of spears. But
soon after, the last battle came His
tory portrays it, poetry chants it, paint
ing colors it, and all ages admire that
last struggle to keep in possession the
wooden cross on which Jesus was said
to have expired. 1t was battle in
which mingled the fury Of devlns and
the grandeur of angels. Thousands Of
dead Christians on this side. Thous-
ands of dead Mohammedans on the
other side. The battle was hottest
close around the wooden cross upheld
by the Bishop of Ptolemais, himself
wounded and dying. And when the
Bishop of Ptolemais dropped dead, the
Bishop of LYDIA seized the cross and
again lifted it CARRYING it onward into
a wilder and fiercer fight, and sword
against javelin, and battle-axe UPON
helmet, and piercing spear against
splintering shield. Horses and men
tumbled into Heterogeneous death. Now
the wooden cross on which the armies
OF Christians had kept their eye. .e-
gins to waver, begins to descend. 1t
falls. and the wailing Of the Christian
host at its disappearance browns the
huzzah of the victorious Moslems.
But that standard of the cross oaly
seemed to fall. Itrides the sky to-day
in triumph. 500,000,0OO souls, the
mightiest army of the ages, are follow
! ing it and where that goes they will go,
across the earth and up the mighty
sleeps Of the heavens. In the twelfth
century it seemed to so down, but in
| the nineteenth century it is the might
lest symbol Of glory and triumph, and
means more than any other standard
whether inscribed with eagle, or lion,
| or bear, or star, or crescent. That
which Saladin trampled on the Plain
of EsdTelon I lift to-day for your
}marshallins. The cross The cross.
The foot OF it planted in the earth it
saves, the top Of it pointing to the
heavens to which it Will take you, and
the out-spread beam Of it like out
stretched arms of invitation to all ma
tions. kneel at its foot. Lift your eye
to its victim. Swear eternal allegiance
to its power. And as that mighty
symbol Of pain and triumph IS kept be-
fore rs we will realize how inslgnill
cant are the little crosses we are called
to bear. and will more cheerfully carry
them.

Although TIC subject of tight lacingis
worn thre&dbare the evil has not been
overcome. The sudden death of one of
the actresses in Berlin theatre was at
tributed to extreme and haoitual tight
lacing. At the beginning of the evening
performance the lady seemed perfectly
well and made her appearance on the
stage with her usual vivacity. Before
the third act was finished she was obliged
TO retire to her dressing room and died
before morning Of systole, a contraction
of the arteries of the heart. caused by
the intense pressure of whalebone.
Just why women of this age viii en-
danger life and ruin health by tight
clothes IS a mystery. Previously fashion
justified in a measure this foolish habit,
but now that it is no longer the style TO
be wasp WASTED II Is impossi ole to find
m excuse. Every 15-year-old girl learns
at school that the l2boring capacity of
the heart is reduced and the circulation
of the blood impeded by tight bandage,
whether in the form of a corset, bodice
or waist. And sui the lacing goes on;
comfort is ruined and health injured, not
only by the corset, but the dressmaker
as well, who to fit basque viii make a
vice of IL.
We have reached a point in the history
of fashion where it is not possible TO
have nice fit without suffering for it.
At the Savarin cafe in this city there are
from ten to fifty ladies who so into the
retiring room after lunch ostensibly to
powder, but in reality to open their
dress waists to assist digestion and re-

superior education. demonstrate with
any of them and she viii dismiss the
subject with some such remark as, Have
to stand it or wear misfit," and SO they
stand it as long as they are on parade.
The stout woman who tightens her
corset or wears tight dress makes a
fatal mistake, for aside from giving her
the appearance of an apple dumping
she is rendered not only awkward, but
helpless. She could not jump two feet
to save her life, and in a moving car or
q jolting stage she has to depend on the
conductor or the kindness of a male
traveller for her equilibrium. Another
result of this tight dressing is the intense
redness of the nose and hands, the i'm
prisonment of the vital organs forcing
the blood to the extremities.-N York
