Nearly a Million Pensioners.


! Years ago It was thought that high va
ter mark in pensions had been reached
I But subsequent events proved that it
was not then half-tide. We have again
/ reached the point where it is promised. or
rather predicted. that the maximum Of
pension payments has been reached; pro-
vlded. that congress does not enact still
more liberal pension laws. The provlso,
which is supplied by the commissioner Of
pensions, is well considered. For hereto
fore, congrescmen, in their eagerness 20
cater to the DID soldier vote. have been
more than eager TO pass almost any sort
Of pension legislation. 1t would seem
that their one thought had been to keep
themselves in Office at the expense Of tns
public treasury and to the scandaliza-
ton Of the PENSION lists.
Congressman sometimes get up on the
floor OF House or Senate and point ous,
with ford rhetoric, the monstrous wrongs
imposed upon taxpayers by the monar-
chies Of Europe in forcing them to sup
port vast standing armies. Yet they
yearly vote for pensions a sum larger
than some of these great monarchies ex-
pend upon their armies The total peace
establishment Of the German army IS
about 10000 men, of the French army
about $1,000 men. The total pension list
Of this country. mere than thirty years
after the cessation Of hostilities, is go, 67S
names, and the total payments approx
mate $4,000 90.
Statistics show that for three years the
actual increase in the pension list has
been slow, though there has been an in
crease, 1t IS still the case that the ap-
plicants for government charity outnum-
Der the mortalities in the vast army of
pensioners. Yet the indications are that,
If there should be no new pension legis-
lation, the deaths of pensioners would
from about this time steadily reduce the
lists and the expenditures.
But there is danger, in the event Of
republican success at the polls this fall,
Of the passage of a service pension bill.
A service pension bill means a bill to
pension every soldier who served in the
federal army during the war, whether he
received wounds or suffered other injuries,
or is now dependent upon others. Such
bill has been mooted. 1t would have the
support Of powerful and rich lobby of
pension agents. 1t would be vote-getter
for republican congressman. And they
are always on tho lookout for vote-get-
tiers.
The passage Of a service pension oil
would send the pension list again bound.
ing upward at a rate as rapid as that
which it achieved under the expert ma
nipulation of Green B. Raum, several
years ago, when he was working against
time to make the list 100000 names long,
and to increase the expenditures to $3.50,
10000. Under the stimulus of such a law
the list would soon pass the million mark,
ard go much beyond, and the budget for
pension payments would reach probably
S200,000,00). What an opportunity that
would give the republicans to tax the
peoplel

The end Of the campaign is drawing
near. II may be said that the closing Of
the state campaign is in sight Less than
two weeks remain before Georgia will go
10 the polls. The time from now until
then viii be spent in vigorous work by
the campaigners. Both the democratic
and populist parties are hard at work.
They will have covered the state pretty
well by election day. What the outcome
Of the election will be has been plainly
forecast by the published reports Of the
campaign meetings. Everywhere the
democratic speakers have been enthusiast
ticany received. Their speeches are be-
leyed to have made many converts from
among the populists. From various sec
tions have como reports Of colored peo-
pie endorsing the democratic nominees. In
almost every county the registration has
been the heaviest for years. The people
are taking an interest In the questions Of
tho day.
All Of this means that an "old time
democratic majority will be returned on
Oct. 7. The people have noted the ef-
fects Of populism in Kansas. oregon and
Colorado. and have made up their minds
that they will not have a populist admin
istration in Georgia. The state is now
receiving immigration of most desira-
bic class. Under democratic rule inves-
tors are not 1fraid to put out their
money in Georgia. A populist victory
would change these conditions. The peo-
pie know it. They will, therefore, deal
populsm a blow week after next
Only some FIVE weeks remain before the
national election. The hottest part of the
campaigning will probably be done in
those five weeks. Mr.. Bryan will remain
upon the stump. and. with the assistance
Of able lieutenants, will continue 10 pour
hot shot into the camp Of the enemy.
There was some complaint recently of
lack Of democratic speakers in the
northwest. but the want has been sup
piled by the headquarters in Chicago.
Things are now moving along smoothly
and giving promise Of success. There has
been no want of speakers in the south for
the national ticket. Every democrat
upon the stump has made it a point to
devote more or less of his time to ma
tional issues, urging the election Of Bryan.
Gen. Grosvenor and the republican pa
pers have resumed claiming everything
in sight for Mckinley. The enthusiastic
manner in which Mr.. Bryan is received in
all parts Of the country shows that the
republican estimates are being made for
effect. The republicans probably do not
themselves regard the figures seriously.
The democrats have the advantage.
They are on the aggressive, with popu
lar platform and popular candidate.
Five weeks more of pushing the advan-
tage may give them the election.
