There are 1885 survivors of the
Mexican war and 1911 widows of sol
diers of that war who are carried on
the pension rolls. A bill now before
Congress provides for an increase of
their pensions from IS to $12 per
month. This will necessitate an in
crease in the appropriation of about
$1.0O0,0@0 But Commissioner Lochren
expects gradual decrease each
year in the expenditures for pensions
of veterans of the civil! war. At the
close of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
he thinks the total amount will have
been reduced to $3.50, 900, 900 from $15S,
900, 600 in 1888. The commissioner has
already saved the government $25 ,000,-
900 up to July 1.-The Raum estimate
being for $3.50, 900 when the demo-
cratic administration came into power.

PENSION CURIOSITIES.-It is stated
as curious fact that there are now,
nearly thirty years after the civil war,
300, geo more persons getting pensions
than there were troops in the field on
the Union side at any single time dur
ing the war. Yet there are 700,0 900 ap-
plications for pensions yet to be acted
upon In June, 1898, the pension-roil
had 966,O12 names and 71,150 claims
were pending. The ontgo for pensions
was 1853, 155, 342, a figure which exceeds
all the pensions paid by all the nations
in the world for all their wars. We
pay twice as much as all put togeth-
er. In fact, if we capitalize our pen
sion payments we find that we are in
effect paying interest on a bonded debt
equal to the true valuation of all
the property in the seeded States in
1861. which was some $1,000, 100000. The
war cost some $4,000, 100000; pensions
since have cost 81, 500, 100000 1t would
have been economical to have settled
the differences of 1861 on cash basis

Blankets in the Senate.T Tariff.

1t is reported that many of the duties
on woollens in the Senate's Tariff bill
duties ranging from twenty-five up
to fifty cents in the dollar-will prob
ably be advanced as much as five per
cent. This done, the Finance Commit
tee may win repetition of the plaudit
perfectly satisfactory" which it re-
ceived from the republican leader for
it's cotton schedule. When the repub-
licans get all the increase of "protec
ton they desire the schedules will no
doubt be entirely scientific !"
1t is true the wall of protection
which the Senate is building is not|as
high as that reared in 1890 by the re
publicans. But Chinese wall fifty
feet high may be practically almost as
exclusive as one a hundred feet high
And it is not strange that the South
Dakota Senator made yesterday such
a gallant fight for free wool and low
duties on woollen clothes and blankets
necessary to keep his constituents from
freezing on their blizzard swept plains.
There is something peculiarly griev-
Gus in making blankets costly and dear
A tax on woollen clothing so high as
to prevent many millions from buying
a warm suit to turn the icy gales of
winter is bad enough. Still, the PRO
tectionist'' democrat may argue, with
some color of logic, that comfortable
clothes. especially when set off with
Troy collars and cuffs, minister to pride
and vanity. 1t will do the people no
harm to wear their old clothes till they
drop off; the tax will have, too, moral
effect, will build up our inf mt indus
tries" and enhance wages-in a word,
it is a highly patriotic and American
tax. But it cannot be demonstrated
quite SO logically that the modest
blanket ministers to human vanity. 1t
is used only in private, in the unconsci-
Gus slulnbers of the night, in the sick
room and hospital, where men are rack
ed by disease and death. To deny q
man his blanket is therefore the refine
ment of barbarity.-N Y. Herald
