Pension Commissioner Lochren is
getting the plug neatly fitted to we'll
worn leak in his bureau. A state
ment issued from the bureau shows
that during the first three months of
the present administration 1904 pen
sion certificates of all kinds were is
sued. During the last fiscal year the
number of certificates issued was 1O1, :
309 less than during the previous year,
and the net increase was los, $50 less.
With the decrease from deaths and
,other causes, these figures indicate
that no large increase will be made
hereafter in the number of pensioners.

Washington, d. c., July II, 1898.
Facts are stubborn things, and now
that the Democrats have an oppor-
tunity to examine the pension roll

prove that the claim made by Demo-
Gratis for years, that millions of dollars
were being paid out illegally for pen
sions, was correct. Gases are numer-
GUS where men are drawing $72 a
month for total disability and are in
addition following ordinary avoca-
tons and drawing the same salaries
as uninjured men. Two cases of this
sort turned up this week right here in
Washington, one man musician reg
ularly employed and the other a
Government clerk, and there are
many more here. These two men
were re-examined and their pensions
reduced to SIT and $23 a month re-
spectively, and so apparent was the
Justice of the reduction that neither
of them availed themselves of the
right to appeal from the decision OF
of the board, of examiners.

A little incident occurred this week
at the Pension Office which shows
that politics do not enter into the
present conduct of that Office. A
Democratic Congressman called TO
protest against the reduction of the
pension of a prominent Democratic
worker in his district, and said that
the man had influence enough to
throw his district, which is close, to
the Republicans. The papers in the
case were produced and it was con-
clusively shown that the man was
drawing larger pension than he was
etitled to, and the Congressman had
to acknowledge it, although he still
asked that this particular pension be
not reduced. He was informed, as
other Democratic congressman have
been who called upon similar errands,
that the policy of this administration
was to administer the law as it exists.
