names and uttered dirty slurs. This

PRICE OF COAL GOES UP.
Advanced Twenty-Five Cents a Ton
at New York Yesterday.

The price of CRATE, egg, stove and
chestnut coal advanced % cents a ton
yesterday, at New York, and there is
likelihood of another advance in Sep
tember or October next. At present
the miners hereabouts are working
about three quarter time and seem to
be just able to keep abreast of the de-
mand.
There are no longer stocks accumulat-
Ing at any of the storage points of the
coal mining carrying companies. Yes
terday morning 12s empty canal boats
lay In and around Honesdale waiting
for coal, which proves that the stock al
that point is at very low ebb.
1t is the policy of those now regulat-
ing the coal trade to mine only enough
of coal to supply the demand.

COMPLAIN OF THE WATER.

The residents in the vicinity Of Eynon
street are asking themselves whether
it is sewerage or drinking water that
is being served for their use. During
a period Of two weeks the water has
been of a dark, muddy color and has
had nasty taste and odor, even a
long boiling hardly purifying it. The
residents consider they have waited
nearly long enough for change and a
protest may soon be entered. At least
the board of health's attention will be
called to the nuisance and disease
breeder.

With Regard to Pensions.

Commissioner of Pensions Evans in
forms an interviewer: Il am going to
try to get congress to put stop to the
present opportunities which the law
offers to women to secure pensions for
life from the United States by marry
ing an old soldier, by recommending
some important pension legislation.
The practice by women of securing
pensions in this manner is notoriously
common. At the soldiers homes young
women will snap up the chance to
marry decrepit old men, evidently
hoping that they will soon die and
leave the pension, and in many of
these cases the women do not even
live with the men they marry. / hope
to recommend to congress that a law
be passed providing that women mary
ing soldiers hereafter shall not be en-
titled TO any pension upon the death Of
their husbands. The law of 1890 makes
this stipulation regarding the pensions
which are payable under that act, but
the great majority of the pensioners
now on the rolls draw their money by
virtue of previous acts"
Mr.. Evans forthcoming report is ex-
pected to show that there are now on
the pension list, as the result of the
civil war, the names of 9S3,62S pension
ers The year before there were but
$40, 524 pensioners. The presence of this
additional $4,000 names, Mr.. Evans eX-
plains, is due to his having taken up
and disposed of large number of old
claims for arrears of pensions, which
he found on file when he took charge
of the Office last summer. There are a
great number of these, and they have
been accumulating in the Office for
years. Nearly the whole $4,000 increase
comes from such of these old claims
as have been allowed, and there are
still large numbers of the ancient
claims which are yet to be disposed of.
The number of these which are likely
to be allowed, he intimates, will at
least meet the losses on the rolls by
death for the next year. Il predict,
however" he says, that after the year
1898 the number will begin to drop, and
after it once begins to go down it will
decline very rapidly. The soldiers of
the late war are getting old very fast
and many Of them passed away dur
ing the last year" The expenditures
during the year just ended were also
greater than those Of the year before
by a little more than sS,OOO6OO. They
amounted to sl42,4 7,S41S0.
In late years there has unquestion-
ably developed q sentiment not among
copperheads or sympathizers with dis
union, but among many men who
themselves helped to suppress the re-
bellion, that not every dollar OF the
certainly generous sums annually voted
for nansious ha- ~~~o ,''t,o~o u ri1ht
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-10-23

fully belonged or where II would fulfil
the largest equity. An extract which
we recently reproduced from st. Paul
paper voiced this feeling; publications
in the New York Sun showing how the
total annual appropriations for PEN
sions continue to grow long after the
number OF surviving veterans had be-
gun to decrease and very much longer
than the time estimated by pioneers
in pension legislation as the turning
point in this source of expenditure
have augmented 1t. Our own view of
the matter is that no honest American
ought to begrudge a cent spent by the
government in relief of the necessities
of those who fought to save 1t, or of
their relicts or descendants. But on
the other hand this should be the limit.
Well-to-do veterans who have no need
of money from the government cheaper
their heroism when they accept a price
for it that may take bread out Of
mouths of comrades or the widows and
orphans Of comrades in actual want.
In friendly spirit this administration
should endeavor to revise the pension
rolls and prune from them such names
as honest and accurate investigation
may disclose to be enrolled without
warrant in equity or law. To this no
fair-minded man ought to offer the
slightest objection; and this we take
to be Commissioner Evans ultimate
purpose.
