p"It wn~ made pmtiic on the 9th in

1t shows that the whole number Of
pensioners 81. the rolls June 80, 1897,
was 976.Ol4. or a net gain over the
previous fiscal wear Of 1916. Tie
amount discussed for pensions by the
pension agents during the last fiscal
yenr was $l39, 949. TT. 35. This
exceed. the mount di~hnrsed during.
the fiscal wear 1896 by the sum OF
81. 5Si, $50 Is.
Commenting ~ this Shown. Mr..
Evens says: .'It will thus be s4e,,
that the pensinn roll has not Yet be-
gun to show any ~dim,nution, though
it has been anticipated hy my pre-
decessors in office that such would bp
the fact"
Viewed in the light Of recent devel-
opantnts, Mr.. Evens might have add
ed that such dimibution is not likely
to set in for many years o come. Az
long AZ Congress continues to give
pensions to widows of old soldiers,
regardless of the time when ,lle mar
rage was contracted, the pension
rolls are not likely to grow less with
In IL generation or two. The pension
business has been run into the ground
fur the politics that could be made
out Of II, and the people, that patient
ass rldlculed 10y satirists, have to pay
for the fiddllng Congressman are
afraid IT. ~antagoniZe the system, for
fear Of mourning the displeasure OF
The soldier Vote. The deserving hon
est old soldiers, to whom pensions are
due as tt just reward tor i~Iouorabfe
services rendered their country in
tunes Of snrest trial, seem indifferent
u the dlsIepnte into which the whole
system is brought by the rascally
practices of men who are a disgrace
to the cause which they claim 10
have served.
The annual report OF Commissioner
of Pension Evans shows the number
