CUTTING OFF THE PENSIONS.
Economy Rendered Necessary by Repub-
lican Extrayacance.

ucan ExtravaEance.
In accordance with orders from the
pension bureau at Washington 125 Ger
tifcates held by pensioners whose
stipends are paid at the Pittsburgh
agency were Cancelled. Tie grand
army posts of that city have resolved
to take up the cases by an appeal not
to the department of the interior but
to the courts.
There are eighteen pension agencies
at which disbursements to the amount
of 100000, 900 or $3.50, 100000 are made
annually to pensioners numbering
more than 676, 900. This was the num-
Der at the close of the fiscal year of
1891. 1t showed an increase for that
year of 1873, 900. The total has been
steadily augmented. If, after months
of inquiry, the pension bureau finds no
more than 125 cases of undeservers at
Pittsburgh. and that should be the az
arage throughout the United States. no
more than 1900 pensions would be
dropped. Does anyone who has, OBJ
served the administration of the PEN
sion office during the administration of
President Harrison under Corporal
Tanner and under Green Il. Raum
doubt that thousands upon thousands.
of andeservers have been piled up
on the pension rolls? Men are. CON-
tinued thereon as invalids though NO
sign of physical decreptitude is visible.
Widows who were not born at the close
of the war survive the old soldiers
whom they married and have not made
remarriage known to the department.
Thorough, searching Investigation
would, no doubt, drop tens, Of thou
sands of names from the pension rolls.
The work of investigation is, an act of
simple honesty, not alone to the tax
payers of the United States, but par
ticularly to those persons whose names
are on the pension roll because of their
undoubted desert. The marvel is. not
that 125 names were dropped Ut the
Pittsburgh agency, but that the mum
Der was not ten times that.
If courts will take jurisdiction od the
subject matter, and it is difficult TO say
how they can, they can do no more
than make inquiry into the grounds
upon which the pension commissioner
has proceeded. If the facts are as the
agents of tie bureau have foand the
case of the dropped pensioners will be

brethren perform useful mission, but
when they come forth indiscriminately
to shield undescrvers, to struggle for
the retention upon the pension roll of
people who receive q stipend because
they lost their hair during the war OF

Eeonomy of federal administration
has become an imperative necessity.
One reason for the stringency of the
times is the exceeding cost of govern

much is demanded of the resources of
the people in the name of state and ma
