mary can be brought about if the
people intelligently organize to OBJ
tsin it. In fact, great advance has
already been made. 1t was only a
few years ago that the caucus and
primary were regarded as purely
voluntary organizations with
which the law should not i'm any
way interfere. Now there is gen.
eral recognition of the right of the
State to provide for the govern
ment of prin ar les.
Mayor Quincy, of Boston, in a
letter referring to the successful
efforts of the friends of caucus re-
form last winter in that city, says:
II am a very strong and convin-
ced believer in the Idea that the
law should regulate political par
ties and their caucuses and conven-
lions, giving the member of a party
the same protection in the enjoy
ment of his rights which is given to
the voter at the polls. We have
been moving quite rapidly in this
direction in Massachusetts in re-
cent years. The beneficial results
of caucus reform in stimulating the
interest Of the voters and calling
out large attendance at the
caucuses has already been amply
demonstrated in this city, and pub
lie opinion here is unquestionably
in favor O. carrying the CIRCULATION
of caucuses to the full extent.
There is also gratifying growth
of sentiment among leaders of men
from all walks of life in the direct
ion Of the idea that "the primary
is" as the late David Dudley Field
has said, the "pivot of reform" 1t is
surprising to find that church or.

PENSION PAYMENTS.

In Il conversation with Hon. I'll.
Clay Evans, Commissioner of Pen
stems, your reporter was informed
that in the opinion OF the Commits
sioner tie maximum for the pay
ments CT pensions has now been
reached, and that the probabilities
are that from this time forward tile
decrease of the amount paid for
pensions will be rapid.
1t is nov 80 years since the war
Iclosed ard there are more pension
ers upon the rolls than ever soldiers
in the Army ut any one time. 1t
may be said, however, that the
money paid for pensions has but
little tendancy toward making hard
times for the reason that the mon
ey is paid out and expended on our
own people and is retained in the
country and remains with US.
In the period between the war OF
the revolution ard the second wal
with Great B,itian the pension ex-
penditure eliminated at $4,lS5,O0C
tn 1904, about twenty years after
the end Of the revolutionary strug-
gle. In the period between the wal
of 1912 and the Mexican war the
pension expenditure eliminated in
1916 and thereafter decreased, with
fluctuations, from TSO0,O0O in 1Slt
to 81 100000 in 1916. LII the period
between the Mexican war and the
war for the Union the pension eX'
penditure was highest in 1852
when it reached ~, 40l 600. This is
all according to the normal process
of growth and decline.
Dividing the years since 1865 into
four-year periods, each equal IL
length to the duration of the wal
itself, the increase of pension ex'
penditure TO its present stupend
ious proportions is thus exhibited
