Three Pension Reforms.

A sensible aud practical proposition
was aavanced in the House during the
consideration Of the Peneion Appropria-
ton bill, which was ruled ont Of order
on the ground that it was new legisla-
tion and could not therefore be attached
to that measure. We are glad to learn,
however. on the authority Of Represen-
tative Ray. of New York, that the mere
Offering Of this 'estioo will lead TO
the framing Of separate bill by the
Committee on Iovalid Pensions de
sigued to remedy at leas. two offensive
aod expensive abuses Of the pension
roll
Under the present Law it ia possible
for the widow of a veteran who has
married again to procure pension
even though she now is supported by a
second husband She may never have
applied for pension during her widow.

husband she mey now legally collect

sum that she might have received
Ooe instance Of this nature IS cited
which cost the governments So 800-a
pleasant plum for the second husband
It has been stated hat pensions Of this
class. paid TO former widows. are now
costing the Treasury $40. 900 day.
Again, it is COW possible for minor

applied for pension during the tcrn
of his minority, to file claim for the
money that be would have received

years old to day. aud yet when some
one Of the $4,000 pension attorneys in
the country discovers that be was co.
titled to a pension twenty-five years ago,
be can file claim at the Pen sion
Bureau that must be allowed under the
Law
These are two defects in the pension
system that are eroteequely absurd, and
that tend to discredit the rolls that
should be kept lustrous with honor
Aoother abuse is the business of young
women marrying old veterans, on the
verge of the grave. 10 order to acquire
widows pensions on the deccase of their
husbands The correction Of these
three wrongs will surely not be opposed
by any organization of veterans It
