A bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture on Tuesday evening by Senator
Stokes, of Cumberland. for President
Rogers, of Camden. to give borough
Councils the power of granting licenses.
The liquor men at seaside boroughs
want such a law because more licenses
will then be granted, while the liquor
men in inland boroughs don't want it
because many towns are strong for
temperance. 1t is a local home rule
bill. If it becomes a law some think
that PENIS Grove, Woodstown and
Elmer borough councils will grant no
licenses.

The Waning Pension Roll.

1t is to be noted that the current year
marks the recession of a tide which has
been constantly rising for 80 years, or
since the civil war first began to swell
the pension list.
Only a little while ago experts gave
it as their opinion that next year pen
sion payments would reach $1SO,OOO,OOO
and that the annual appropriation
would amount to $500, 000,0O0 before
the decline began. But the highest ex'
penditures were for the fiscal year 1878,
when they were S156, 740,467.14. Fer
the current year the appropriations were
Sl65, 900, 900, but it is nov certain that
not over s140, 900, 900 will be expended
and so there will be a surplus OF S2o,-
900, 900. Every month there are fewer
claims filed, and for the last two weeks
the falling off has been noticeable daily
by the excess of deaths and expirations
over new claims allowed. And all this,
be it noted, is a natural result and not
that of any ruling or policy of the de-
partment. With increasing age soldiers
and elderly widows die in increasing
proportion, younger widows marry
again, and young children reach the
age of self support. 1t is therefore fig
ured that by the close of this admins
tration the annual expenditure viii! but
little, if any, exceed $3.50, 600. 600.
1t appears that the average age at
which veteran soldiers have died is a
fraction less than 81 years, and as an
overwhelming majority of the survivors
have either passed that age or are very
near it the ratio Of deaths must increase
rapidly. 1t Is darkly limited about
Washington that the department has a
great surprise in store for the country,
and it is occasionally alleged by the OPP
position that they will spring such sur
prise about the time the campaign o.
this year gets heated.
