The continued intelligent execution of tho
civil-seryice law and the increasing ap-
prevail by the people Of it's operation are
most gratifying. The recent extension Of
its limitations and regulations to the en-
ployes at free-deiivcry post-oflices. which
has been honestly and promptly accom-
plished by the Commission. with the hearty
co-opera ton Of the Postmaster-General is
an immensely important advance In the
usefulness OF the system.

WINGED Of the inc2lculabie benefits conferred
by the civil-service law. not only in its ef-
feet upon the public service, but Also what
is even more important. in its effect in ele-

The law em5odylng this reform found It's

and making efficiency the sole test by
| which laborers are employed and contin-
ued, is producing the best results, and the
Secretary is earnestly devoting himself to
| its development. Attention is invited to the
statements of his report in regard to the
/ workings of the system.
The Interior Department.
The Secretary Of the Interior has the
| supervision of so many important subjects
| that his report is of especial value and
| interest.
On the Both day of June. 1893, there were
| on the pension rolls 966,0l2 names, an in
crease of S9,944 over the number on the
rolls June 80, 1892. OF these there were IL
widows and daughters of Revolutionary
soldiers, Sc survivors OF the war of 1872
5.425 widows of soldiers of that war, q, SIS
! survivors and wiows of the Mexican war;
$3.50 survivors and widows of Indian wars,
2Si army nurses, and 4I5,645 survivors, and
widows and children Of deceased soldiers
and sailors of the war of the rebellion.
The latter number represents those pension
ed on account of disabilities or death re-
| sulting from army and navy service The
number of persons remaining on the rolls
| June 3d. 1898, who were pensioned under
the act of June q, 1890, which allows pen
sions on account OF death and disability not
| chargeable to army service was 49, 55.
| The number added to the rolls during the
year was 1854. and the number dropped
was $500. The first payment on pensions
| allowed during the year amounted to $780,
| 1856 549.9S. This includes arrears, or the
accumulation between the time from which
the allowance of pension dates and the time
| of actually granting the certificate.
Suspended Pension Payments.
Although the law of 1890 permits pensions
for disabilities not related to military
service yet as a requisite to its benefits
a disability must exist incapacitating APP
plicants from the performance of manual
labor to such a degree as to render them
unable to earn a support" The execution
| of this law in its early stages does not
seem to have been in accord with it's true
| Intention but toward the close of the last
administration an authoritative construction
was given to the statute, and since that
| time this construction has been followed
This has had the effect of limiting the
| operation of the law to it's intended pur-
pose. The discovery having been made that
many names had been put upon the pension
| roll by means of wholesale and gigantic
frauds the Commissioner suspended pay
