FEWER PENSIONERS.
Their Number Has Decreased Il
something Less Than One
Million.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July l6.-The
present status of all pension claims is
brought out in the report of the an
nual inspection of the files of the Pen
sion Bureau. Since July |, 1894. the
total number of pension claims of all
kinds and classes pending before the
Office has decreased 56.j46. This leaves
the aggregate number now awaiting
action 495.6
The actual number of claimants is,
however, only HOS The difference
in the figures is due to Implications of
cases in which a single claimant ap-
plies for a pension under several sep
arate legal provisions.
While in many of these cases the
claimant is already receiving some
form of pension and is applying for
an increase. there are 116. .5S5 cases of
claimants to whom no pension has
ever been issued.
The number on the pension rolls is
steadily decreasing. and the forth
coming report of the Commissioner of
Pensions. which will be submitted
within six weeks, will show the total
plumber OF pensions everywhere TO be
little over go, 900. slight decrease.
Omcial estimates place the number of
deaths OF pensioners during the fiscal
year just closed at about 10000.

SECRETARY HAMiiN.
says thy. wo Great Parties should
Unit. and Overwhelmingly De-
feat the BryanItes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
Evening Star of to-day says: Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin OF the treasury
department gave out the statement
this afternoon, in explanation of his
position with regard to the Democratic
platform and nominations. Inasmuch
a. Eamlin represented the administra-
tiuH at the Chicago convention. and as
he Eas been in frequent consultation
with secretary Carlisle over the politi
cal situation since the adjournment OF
the convention. the statement made by
him to-day will undoubtly be excepted
by many as the semi-official declara-
ton Ofthe position OF the sound money
men of the administration. This inn
preston was strengthened by the be-
lief that Hamlin had seen the Presi
dent since the ad diournment of the con-
vent.on. He spent several days at
Marion. rGray Gables, on his way
back TO Washington from Chicago.
The statement referred to is as fol-
lows: No political issue is involved
in the coming election. The question
to be decided is far deeper and more
vital. The perpetuity of the Republi-
can institutions have been threatened.
Every loyal citizen should ARRAY him
self against the forces which controll-
ed the Chicago conventiOn-the forces
of lawlessness which are inconsistent
with the maintenance of the republic.
HencefOrth there will be no Republi-
can. no Democrat, but union loyal
citizens against the combined forces of
the repudiator and deserter. When
once this dangerous element has been
stamped out at the polls by the indig-
nant people we can again divide and
discuss these political Questions which
for generations kept alive the two
great political parties >

= Great Revenue Producer.

30 far at least as revenue Is con-
cerned the new Raines liquor law in
New York State is exceeding even the
expectations Of its advocates. The
total receipts to date amount to nearly
$40, 800. 900. and the returns are not
yet complete. This insures return
to the State Treasury OF over 81, OO0,-
900 as the States share of the yearly
proceeds. And another point in favor
of the law is that the local receipts,
after deGucting the States share, for
the New York City trea sury. for eX-
ample, will e-,ceed the liquor revenues
received by the city under the old sys-
TEN when it did not haveto share with
the State. But fully one-half of the
State total share will come from New
York City and Brooklyn, and Buffalo
will contribute half of the remainder,
and the cry of robbery will, of
course, be heard in those places.
Nevertheless, it will have to be said
that a liquor law which reduces the
number of saloons, which divests the
traffic of the element of monopoly
privilege that entered into it nnder the
old system, and which at the same
time yields a much larger public rev.
enue than the old system did, can not

that has been carried on for several
years at cost to the litigants OF
thousands of dollars.
This long. tedious. Troublesome and
costly litigation was brought on by
the Missouri Pacific corporation. The
officials of that big corporation con-
cluded that the Houck road was fairly
good property and they concluded
that they would appropriate it to their
own use-gobble it up. They slipped
down to Bloomfield one dark night
and had Judge Wear to appoint Eli
klotz a country merchant, as receiv-
er for the road. Klotz was the mu-
