WHAT is EXPENDED FOR PENSIONS.
Nearly S145, 200, 900 Required for the
Year 1898.

The administration of the Pension Bureau
has been characterized during the year by great
diligence. The total number of pensioners up
on the roll on the 30th day of June, 1891. was
676 l60 There were allowed during the fiscal
year ending ut that time 250,565 cases. OF this
number, l02. 1897 were allowed under the law of
June 27 1890 The issuing of certificates has
been proceeding at the rate of about 10000 per
month-nbout rs per cent. of these being cases
under the new law. The commissioner ex-
presses the opinion that he will be able to care
fully adjudicate and allow $50 900 claims dur
ing the present fiscal year, The appropriation
for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year
iS90-9l was $127, 6S5 79S. 80, and the amount eX-
pended $1lS.530,G49 %, leaving an uncxpended
surplus Of So 1885, l44 6i.

will be no call this year for deficiency appro-
priaton, Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which the work is being pushed
The mistake which has been made
by many In their exaggerated; esll-
mates of the cost of pensions is In nottaking ac-
count of the diminished value of first payments
under the recent legislation. These payments
under the general law. have been for many
years very large, rs the pensions, when allowed,
dated from the time of filing the claim, and most
of these claims had been pending for years.
The first payments under the law of June, 1890,
relatively small, and, as the per cent or
these cases increases and that of the old eases
diminishes, the annual aggregate of first pay
ments is largely reduced

ing the last four months l1S. l15' certificates
were issued, 1898 under the general law ana

The Present Man Smokes.

Itlooks as if the consumption of the
native brand of cigars was increasing
in this country, at the expense of the
imported varieties. At all events, this
is the Inference that is to be drawn
from the figures furnished by the
commissioner of internal revenue.
According to his statistics the increase
of cigars consumed in this country
during the last fiscal year was 3S7 ,002,-
7S4, while there was an actual decrease
of 26,74O,729 in the number of cigars
imported. The sum of these two
amounts may, therefore, be accepted
as representing the increase in the con-
sumption of our domestic cigars. 1t is
interesting to note, in this connection,
that the consumption of domestic Gig
arettes is increasing in similar ratio,
notwithstanding the cutlery against
them, the increase being 45l ,2S4 $50 in
number during the year. From
these figures it seems to be safe to con-
clude. not only that the coming man
in this country will smoke, but also that
he will smoke domestic brands.-Bos-
ton Herald.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Inspection OF Cattle and Benefits to
StOck-growers and Consumers.

Inspection OF Cattle and Benefits to
Stock-growers and Consumers.
If the establishment of the Department of
Agriculture was regarded by anyone as a mere
concession to the unenlightened demand of a
worthy class of people, that impression has
been most effectually removed by the great re-
suits already attained. Its home influence has
been very great in disseminating agricultural
and horticultural Information; III stimulating
and directing further Investigation of crops;
in detecting and Graduating diseases of domes-
tic animals; and. more than all in the close
and informal contact which it has tablished
and maintains with the farmers and stock
raisers of the whole country, Every request
for information has had prompt attention and
every suggestion merited consideration. The
scientific corps of the department is of hig
order. and Is pushing its Investigations with
method and enthusiasm.
The inspection by this department of cattle
and pork products intended for shipment abroad
has been the basis of the success which has
attended our efforts tosecure the removal of the
restrictions maintained by the European gov
ernments. For ten years protests and petitions
upon this subject from the packers and stock
raisers of the United States have been directed
against these restrictions, which so seriously
limited our markets and curtailed the profits of
the farm. It's source of general congratulation
that success has at last been attained, for the
effects of an enlarged foreign market for these
meats will be felt, not only by the farmer, but
in our public finances and in every branch of
trade. 1t is particularly fortunate that the In
creased demand for food products resulting
meats and from the reciprocal trade arrange
ments to which l have referred, should have
come ut time when the agricultural surplus is
so large. without the help thus derived lower
prices would have prevailed. the secretary of
agriculture estimates that the restrictions upon
the importation of our pork products into Eu-
rope lost us Il market for SIC, 900 worth OF
these products annually.
The grain crop of this year was the largest in
our history, 90 per cent greater than that OF
last year, and yet the new markets that have
a u
from short crops in Europe have sustained
prices to such an extent that the enormous sur
plus of meats and breadstutfs will be marketed
at good prices. bringing relief and prosperity
to an industry that was much depressed. The
value of the grain crop of the United States
is estimated by the secretary to be this
year $500 ,000,0 600 more than last of meats, $3.50,
100000 more, and of Ill products of the farm.
500, 100000 more. 1t is not inappropriate, l
think. here to suggest that our satisfaction in
the contemplation of this marvellous addition to
the national wealth is uuclouded by any suspi-
cion of the currency by which 1t is measured,
and in which the farmer is paid for the product
of his fields.

REBUILDING THE NAVY.

IL ~ recollected that the work of building
MODERN navy was only initiated In the year
1883, that our naval constructors and shin.
builders were practically without experience In
that our engine shops were unfamiliar with
great marine engines. and that the
manufacture of steel forgings for guns
ana plates was almost wholly a foreign
industry, the progress that has been
made is not only highly satisfactory but fur
nlshes the assurance that the United states will
before long attain in the construction of such
vessels. with their engines and ornaments, the
same pre- eminence which it attained when the

h1bit OF naval power the old wooden
three-decker man of-war. The officers of
the navy and the proprietors and engineers
OF our great private shops have responded with
wonderful intelligence and professional zeal to
theconfdence expressed by Congress in its lib
eral legislation. We have now at Washington
a gun shop, organized and conducted by naval
officers, that in its system, economy and product
is unexcelled. Experiments with nrmor plate
have been conducted during the year with most
important results. 1t is now believed that
plate of higher resisting power than any in use
has been found and that the tests have demon
strated that cheaper methods of manufacture
than those heretofore thought necessary can be
used.
/ commend to your favorable consideration
the recommendations of the secretary, who has,
l am sure, given to them the most conscientious
study. There should be hesitation in
promptly completing navy of the best modern
type, large enough to enable this country to dis
play its flag in all seas for the protection of its
citizens and of its extending commerce. The

poses of the United States, but we shall proba-
