Inc Democratic press Is clamoflng lot
publication of the pension list The in
spiration Is, of course, the hope that 1t
may develop a large number of fraudu-
lent pensioners, but we do not see any
harm in the government complying with
the demand. No honest pensioner will
object to II. But the motive OF the DEM
ocradc papers that are clamorlng for the
publication is political one; they hope
to show large percentage OF unjust
pensions, and have an equally ardent
hope that somehow or other the RepublI-
can party win suffer-
It is undoubtedly true that occasional
ly an undeservIng pensioner gets upon
the rolls; 1t would be strange II he did
not, and 1t Is very probable that the per-
centage OF such cases under a Republic
can administration Of the bureau Is no
larger than under Democratic admins
traton. The official watchfulness Is
about as keen under one as under an
other, and the man who sets out to Sc
cure pension when he doesn't deserve
1t under the law is just as apt to use the
means to gain It under one as under the
other. We distinctly remember that dur
ing the campaign of 1855, when the vet
Grams were opposing Mr.. Cleveland for
reelection because Of his vetoes of spec
ial pensions bills that passed Congress
the Democratic orators and papers were
pointing them to the alleged fact that
notwithstanding these vetoes, the PEN
sion department under his admlnlstra-
ton had granted as many claims as had
been granted under the Republican adj
minIstratIon,
The fault is not with the department,
II fraudulent cases occasionally get
through, and no partisan point can be
made on that ground, The trouble IL
with the pension attorneys and the too
willing desire of the fraudulent claimants
to get upon the rolls.
Certainly no deserving veteran will
have any objection to the publication Of
the list. 1t Is we'll however. to remcm-
Der, that the necessity for this Is not as
great as 1t may appear to be. For many
years past the daily list of pensions
granted for every state in the Union has
been given out to the press. 1t is made
public, giving the names. addresses and
the classes OF pensioners. The leading
newspapers of the country who have cor
respondents at Washington may obtain
these lists each day for their states and
publish them. The Wheeling morning
