For the year ending July A, 1898, the cost,
therefore, will be $2l, 464, 0G0.
1t is said that less than $4,000 survivors
of the late war have not applied for pension,
and in fact 10000 original invalid claims
are now pending. A large number Of these
will prosecute their claims to a successful
conclusion under existing law, as the hope
of increase is therein held out to them.
Having considered the questions involved,
your committee respectfully recommend the
passage of the following substitute Tor the
bills mentioned:

honorably discharged officers and enlisted
men Of the war OF the rebellion.

States between April f5, 1861, and July /,
1865, aud received an .hon9rable discharge

THAT OLD LIE AGAIN.

THAT OLD LIE AGAIN.
That stupid old lie that the Southern
Confederacy never had more than 6oo,-
600 soldiers, all told, has been revived
again, and by no less a parsonage than
S. ID. Lee, who held the rank Of Lieu
tenant-General in the rebel army. The
vehicle for its publication is the Century
Nagassne. In the February number
Gen. Lee says:
The Official records show that the North
had 600Ge0 men from first 10 last; that
alter October. 1861. never less than S000Go,
and often exceeding 1.00,000 men, and
1.0ou.090 men lii round numbers were mus
iered out at he close OF the war.
The Confeiera,es, who, by the most relia-
BILE records aud authority, had only 600O0O
men from first to last, surrendered 10000
man. The effective force never exceeded
100000 men at any one time.
We have repeatedly shown up this
tissue of falsehoods, which are so glaring
that no man who pretends to study the
history of the war has any excuse for
assuming to believe them.
In the first place, while the total
number of enlistments in the Union
army was 2,S59,132 men, it is not posi-
bic that this represented more than
100000 individuals. A very large
proportion of the Union soldiers enlisted
more than once, and it was possible for
one man to serve out FIVE full enlist
ments during the war; and quite num-
Der did so. All the veterans we're
credited with two enlistments, and about
10000 of them had three enlistments
to their credit.
On the other hand, the rebels started
in with 100000 men of military age
in the II seeding States. They put in
every mau of these, except the $4,000
whom we got from Virginia, East Ten
nessee, and other loyal sections. They
added to these several hundred thousand
men from the Border States, and several
hundred thousand more who were over
military age, or who became Of military
age during the five years after 1860.
This would give them grand total of
from /, 100000 to 100000, from whom
they must have gotten at least / 100000
fighting men.
This is confirmed by ali the attainable
facts The only State that kept any re-
liable records was North Corolina, which
had 1850 men Of military age in
1860, and which furnished the Southern
Confederacy with $4,000 regular sol.
diers besides eight regiments of Junior
and Senior Reserves, and other troops
for service within the State.
| The imperfect returns in the possession
of the War Department indicate that the
rebels had habitually about 100000
effective troops in the field.
| As near as we can discover, abou
100000 rebels were killed or died dur
ing the war, and over 100000 wer,
taken prisoners.
Gen. Lees claim is of piece witt

but 5000 men in the Shenandoah Val
ley, to which Gen. Sheridan mad

THE SENATE.

The political complexion of the SEN
ate for the next two years is now being
determined. By the old classification
the present Senate stands:
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-01-28

There will be Free Silver Democrats
elected from Florida and Utah, and
probably Populists from Idaho, Wash
ington, and South Dakota. The chances
favor the election of a straight Republi-
can from Kentucky.
No classification worth anything can be
made until real test question comes up
in the new Senate.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-01-28

THE prevailing sentiment in the
Senate is against taking any action as
to Cuba until the new Administration
comes in.

SENATOR TELLER expresses a very
poor opinion of Senator Sherman.
Seems to us that we have heard other
Free Silver advocates make depre-
ciatory remarks about the great financier.
He has incurred their hatred by formu-
lating plans that succeeded, and enun-
ciating theories that were in accord with
facts.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-01-28

But several of the Republicans can no
longer be considered as such, having
gone off after Free Silver. The Demo-
cratic Senators are stiH worse upon the
financial question. March 3 the terms
Of 80 Senators will expire. OF these
13 have been classed as Republicans, 4
as Democrats, and as Populists. Their
names and those of their successors, so

We are in accord with Senator Nor

Canal shall be thoroughly American
institution, and not come under the new
Arbitration Convention.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-01-28

But this sum may be further reduced, for
according to the computation made by the
Bureau of Pensions. Oh June 80, 1895, there
were but $50. 900 survivors Of the war of the
rebellion, and from this number we must
deduct the probable number of deaths dur
ing two years, of claims which will be
allowed during Is months, of persons not
having honorable discharges, of invalds now
on the rolls at So ard So who will not take
advantage of the provisions of this BILL and
OF applications which will not be filed with
in one year from July /, 1887.

CURIOUS LAW POINT
Which Results in Releasing Defen-
dant Upon the Community

Charles A. Peer played in great good
luck yesterday, but through no especial
effort on his part, and only because of one
of those peculiar incongruities of the
law did he escape from the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
A couple of months or SO ago Peer sold
to H. L. Cheeseboro, of Covina, the
Mocking Bird and Dolly Warden claims,
lying four and half miles south of
Kramer, for the byno-means exorbitan;
sum of $40. The money was paid over
and Peer promised to have the deeds
made out so soon as the surveys We're
completed. But the deeds were not forth
coming and Cheeseboro came to Los
Angeles and finding out Peer took him
to Randsburg en- route to the two claims.
But under one preteXt and another Peer
would not stir from Randsburg and
Cheeseboro completed the journey alonc.
Then it was that he discovered that
Peer had no interest in the Mockin z
Bird and Dolly Warden claims whatever,
and that he had been buncoed out of his
money.
On the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses Peer was brought
to trial yesterday in Department One,
but before it had gone very far the court
held that any representa- atoms made re-
garding the title to real property are not
such that upon them can be based a
