A MaladministratiOn of Pensions.

T. j. Deavitt of Montpelier, Vt, who
said, last winter, in answering inquiries as
to the effect the change of administration
would have on pensions, that The bust
ness methods OF the pension bureau under
Cleveland's first administration have often
been referred to with approval during the
last four years, and that there was nothing
in his first administration that ought to give
pensioners uneasinesS as to his treatment of
pensions in his second term" is now quite
emphatic in declaring that Cleveland's sec.
ond term is a maladministration of pen
sons. With no change in the laws grant
ing pensions" said Mr.. Deavitt, and with
more than 100000 applications awaiting
consideration in the pension Office 100 900
OF which were ready to issue last March
and force of over 1000 men engaged adj
justing such claims, the granting of PEN
sions was suddenly stopped that large
force was set to reviewing the work of a
long line of predecessors, suspending and
cutting OIL pensions, until it is announced
from the pension bureau that the high
water mark of pensions was attained last
July and since that time the number
of pensioners has been decreasing at the
rate of over 800 month. What concerns
the American people," said Mr.. Deavitt
:" is whether that highwater mark was
reached and passed by honest and legiti-
mate means, or by maladministration of
the powers and duties imposed by the pen.
tions. A pension granted pursuant to law
is an obligation as sacred as the presidents
salary or an interest-b bearing bond"
Mr.. Deavtt informs us that congressman
and other officials who had had to do with
that matter had made careful calculations
that showed that with the existing laws the
highwater mark in the payment of pensions
could not, by legitimate treatment, be
reached before some time after 1900. " The
unfriendly cry of fraudulent pensions" he
said, when not made through ignorance,
ia like the old cry of Stop thief when
there is no thief, and has done worthy APP
plicants great injustice in delaying the adj
Indication of their claims; and but for that
false cry, no doubt, large percentage of the
claims now pending in the pension Office
would have been admitted for pensions
long ago"
Mr.. Deavitt denies that the pension roll is
large when the magnitude OF the war of the
great rebellion is considered. He says, in
1920 list of surviving soldiers of the revolu-
ton who had been pensioned under the act
of 1918 was published, which showed that
Vermont, with small population, and not
a state during the war, had over twelve
hundred pensioners.
A few pensions are being granted as the
November elections approach, but no one
can tell what havoc will be made with pen
sions after election il the soldiers endorse
the present unlrendly policy by their votes
at the polls.

Plain Words by Senator Sherman.

The debate in the United States SEN
ate on Tuesday of last week turned
aside from the main question, the re-
peal of the purchase clause of the Sher-
man act. The right of the majority to
act on a measure after reasonable de-
bate became the leading question and
was the subject of notable discus
sion. The venerable Senator Sherman
emerged from the silence he has main
tanned for weeks and spoke with a
vigor and plainness that cleared the
murky political atmosphere of the SEN
ate as an electric storm clears the at

States; break up this flibusterng and Oh.

the senate force and power to pass this bill,

No democrat arose to answer the
Buckeye senator's scathing arraign-
ment---a striking tribute to its truth
and power.
