From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

On June y, 1890, an act was passed by
which any person who has served ninety days
in the army or navy of the United States, and
had an honorable discharge, could be placed
on the pension list to receive from ST to SD
per month for any disability, whether incurred
during or since the Of this act Pension
Commissioner Raum says: 'The Act of
June 81. 1890, is the first Disability Pension
law in the history of the world which grants
to soldiers and sailors pensions for disabilities
which are not proved to have been incurred
in the service and in lne of duty Within
two years after the passage of this act S07 ,9l9
claims under it had been filed, of which up to
June %, 1892 49,, 91s had been passed. In
view oft he foregoing, aud keeping in mind the
fact that about 800, 900 claims for pensions are
still pending in the Pension Bureau, and
claims for pensions are pouring in each week
by the thousands is it moi time to call halt?

Pension Reform.
From lhe BurlIngtOn Ia.l eazelte.

From The Burlington tIa.l Gazette.
We are not opposed to reasonable and
fair Pension law. The American people win
pay cheerfuly pensions to deserving Union
soldiers, but when it comes to supporting
their posterity to the third and fourth genera
tons, we doubt the propriety, the justice or
patriotic influences arising therefrom.

From the True American Trenton, Nj.
The result of the election does not affect
Raum's ideas about the pension business.
For the next fiscal year he estimates that
$lG5, 0O0, 600 will be required. The capacity
of the Pension Office, he shows, when work
ing under full pressure, is $1,000 cases q
month allowed, or little less than 1000
day, but some time will be lost during the
holidays and in other ways. His faith in the
ability of the people to pay any amount that
may be required is ''childlike and bland
A deficiency BILL according to his way of
thinking, will bridge over any difficulty that
seems to occur to his mind.

There ought to be an end to this humbugg.
cry Let us be Just TO the old soldier who is
a OBSERVER, and let US also be just to ourselves.
With a purged pension roll, when every fraud
thereon will be cut off, when young soldiers
widows, born long after the close of the war
of the rebellion are taken off the pension roll,
when men who never engaged in a battle,
who never left the boundaries of the State in
which they enlisted, and who found the period
of that enlistment Il Godsend to themselves
because they were provided during that period
with clothing, subsistence, medicine, lodging
and pay-when such as these are taken from
that Over-swolen roll and left to earn their
living like any other citizen of the Republic,
the real OBSERVER, the real veteran, the old
soldier for whom there should be regard be-
cause of actual suffering aud actual wounds,
will have that consideration to which he is
entitled.
