wHEELlNG, April 30, 1893,
Fraudulent Pensions.

The charge is made that large per-
centage of the very large disbursement
for pensions goes to personswho are not
entitled TO pensions under the law.
It's alleged that there is hardly a
hamlet in the land in which there arc
not cases OF this kind. Some OF these
pensioners are said to be on the rolls by
reason OF considerable stretches Of the
imagination, others through rank per-
jury which opens the doors OF the peni'
Tertiary.
These allegations are backed up by
people OF the neighborhood who profess
to speak advisedly but do not name
names and produce facts. There is a
feeling that, while the pensioners are
not entitled to what they receive, after
all the money comes into the communi-
ty and helps to keep business moving.
So the neighbors who are conversant
with the facts become parties to the
crime. No one steps forward to advise
tho government the wrong goes on
from year to year, the sweeping accusa-
tions become louder and the whole pen
sion system is placed in jeopardy. The
government agent on tour OF discov-
cry must have his case pretty we'll in
hand before he strikes, for usually he
gets little aid and comfort from the sus-
pecfs neighbors.
Anybody who knows OF a pension
fraud owes it to his country and to
worthy pensioners to lay the facts be-
fore the proper officers, but this hap
pens very rarely except where there is
special reason for making the ex-
posure. II there be pension frauds it
is not nearly SO much the fault OF the
government as Of persons who know
and will not tell.
The Grand Army of the Republic
could do an immense service by exert
ing itsclf to discover the fraudulent
pensioners and have them stricken
from the rolls. With its large and in
tellSent membership and numerous
posts covering the whole country, it
could accomplish more than any other
agency to show Just what there is in
the allegations OF fraud and to purge
the rolls.
This would be q service second only
to that which the men Of this patriotic
o..,orJzoL;on oarformad in the feld

The ReIrinn Compromise.

It not strange that the action OF
the Belgian chamber of deputies sur
prlsed the world. The very members
of that body did what half an hour be-
fore they had declared they would not
do under the threats Of IN armed mob.
The fate OF the monarchy itself was at
stake and the chamber concluded to
yield something rather than to lose all,
Tho compromise measure is not en-
tircly clear to the American mind. We
cannot understand why tho voter must
be twenty-five years old, and we do not
quite get hold OF the provision for plural
voting. 1t seems that every male over
twenty-five years Of age Is TO have a
vote. II he is the head Of family he
ia to have another vote; II he have a
certain educational qualification he Is
entitled to third ballot, Tho intent
oftheSe provisions is to give the present
ruling classes strength out OF proportion
to their numbers.
Having gained this much the revolu.
tionists expect to do still better in the
upper house, until they shall have
gained what they set out to secure, ono
vote for every male subject who has
reached the age Of twouty.onO years.
This demand is not unreasonable. It ia

TOP-STORY KITCHENS,

Servants object to Them and Conse-
quentIy They Must Go.
The plan of building houses with
kitchens at the top, however advan-
tagcous 1t maybe in keeping unsavory
odors from the rest of the house, is
not likely to become general in Wash
ington.
When the Metropolitan club was
built some six or eight years ago, it
was the first building in town of any
size TO have the top floor given over to
the uses Of a kitchen. At the time the
subject was discussed pro and con, and
many prOphesicd that the new idea
would be generally followed.
Time has proved the fal!acy of those
predictions, as the buildings which
have since been constructed on SINH
lar plan are few and far between,
while in private houses there are no
kitchens on the top floor, except in the
handsome brown-stone residence
erected by ex-senator Palmer
Last winter the property was leased
by secretary and Mrs. Elkins, who,
though otherwise pleased with the
pleasant sunny house, experienced no
end Of trouble because the kitchens
are on the top floor.
The servants object, as they are cut
off from all intercourse with their
friends, who remain away rather than
mount SO many fights of stairs.
