CUTTING OFF The PENSIONS.
Economy Rendered Necessary by RcPub-
lIcan EHtraNaganCc.

ican Extravaganza.
In accordance with orders from the
pension bureau at Washington l25 Ger
titicates held BY pensioners whose
stipends are paid az the Pittsburgh
agency were can led. Tie grand
army posts of that city have resolved
to take up the case 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 sl20, 900, 900 or $3.50 OOO. 900 are made
annually to pensioners numbering
more than $4,000 This was the mum
Der at the close Of the fiscal year Of
1891. II showed an increase for that
year of $4,000. The total has been
steadily augmented H. after months
of inquiry, the pension bureau finds no
more than 1875 cases of undcServcrS at
Pittsburgh, and that should be the av-
cragc throughout the United states, no
more than 2,2OO pensions would be-
dropped. Does anyone who has OBJ
served the administration ~ the pen
sion Office during the administration Of
Tanner and undo Green u. Raum
doubt that thousands upon thousands
of undeservcrs have been piled up
on the pension rolls? Men are con
tinued thereon as invalids though no
sign of physical decrcptitudc is visible
Widows who we're not born at the close
of the war survive the old soldiers
whom they married and have not made
rcmarriagc known to the department.
Thorough, searching investigation
would, no doubt, drop tens of thou
sands of name, from the pension rolls.
The work Of Investigation is an act of
simple honesty not alone to the tax
payers uf the Uuitcd States, but par
ticularly to those persons whose names
are on the pension roll because Of their
undoubtcd desert. The marvel is not
that l2j names were dropped at the
Pittsburgh agency, but that the mum.
Der was not ten times that.
II courts w... take jurisdiction of 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 II the facts are as the
agents Of the bureau have found the
case OF the dropped pensioners will be
of no avail Grand army posts that ex-
list for the purpose OF succoring their
brethren perform useful mission, hut
when they come forth Unfortunately
To shield undr,rryers, To struggle for
the retention upon the pension roll Of
people who receive a stipend because
they lost their hair during the war of
