THE PENSION PUZZLE.

At the close of the war the number OF
surviving soldiers entitled to pensions
was not known. Tt was not accur-
ntely ascertained for some three years
In 1890 the war survivors were figured
out to then amount to 1855. 741. 1t is
entitled to pensions. there may be now
1.0S4. 135. According to the last off,
cial report there were on the pension
rolls 733. .527. so that there must be
about $50 COS who are not drawing pen
sions. There are on file, says the
Commissioner, 1S7, 500 applications,
leaving about 1e2. 500 not heard from.
But these figures do not include wild
ows. orphans and others claiming the
right to draw pensions. The figures
of the soldiers Of the war were so dis
abled as to be entitled to the bounty Of
the Government IN the way of pension
payments. This. says DR.. Stebbins a
war veteran. and long Pension Med
ical Examiner, is preposterous, as IL
means that So per cent. of the surviving
soldiers were disabled physically or
mentally by reason Of the service in
dhe armies Of the Union.
The conclusion Is thus mathematical
ly reached that the pension roll IS
stuffed, and that it has been done by
fraud on the part OF applicants. and by
The collusion Of officials. Hence 1t is
reasonably urged that publication of the
pension list as it stands win disclose

of the society, but with the apphcatlon
of a steam engine and the use OF a

many Of these frauds, and deter from
the preparation of others.
We have the statement of Dr. Steb-
bins that he is convinced that the Gov
eminent is now paying pensions by the
ten thousands for disabilities that could
piles as a chief among these, and her
MIA as another.
DR.. Stebbins points out that Of the
10O-day enlistments there was a great
and still another large body on later
enlistments who never engaged IN any
battle, and yet a host of these are
drawing pensions. He gives one in
ment, where the records show that 123
men out of two companies in that reg
iment are pensioners.
He would, therefore, have re-exami-
nations in every pension case, eliminate
all cases of durable diseases, and would
cut off all cases in which the recipi-
ents are able to earn their living with
out hardship; he would have over
rated pensions cut down to much
lower figure, while all cases of claims
on account of impaired vision and hear
ing should be specially inquired into.
BY this means he thinks 80 per cent.
Of the present outgo could be saved,
namely, about SSO,000,O OOO
This we think is not possible. His
suggested reform is not practicable
without injury to many innocent people.
To re-examine all cases, is not neces-
sary, but there might be re-examina-
ton of cases where there was any
doubt, or difficulty of proof, and where
the army records do not show disa bill
lty. There is a voluminous record of
actual disability in the field permanent
and 1ncurable, that it would be waste
of money and time to inquire into. AS
to over-rating, that can only be done
by revising the law completely, and es-
pecially the back arrearage statutes
Publication of the lists would go a long
way towards correcting what is now
generally conceded to be an evil, a
fraud upon genuine veterans, and those
really entitled to the rewards their
country bestows. In the meantime,
however, Congress ought to set on foot
an investigation into the pension
frauds. If this Congress does not do
1t, 1t will miss an opportunity to do it
self credit and the country great good

THE FRENCH ON THE NILE.

If we were England we should be
troubled also about that story that the
French expeditions in Africa have
reached Fashoda and are descending the
Nile. The Frenchman has a most pecu-
liar habit Of planting his flag wherever
he makes an advance. The trouble in
this case is that while England and
Egypt claim for the Khedives crown
sovereignty over the whole upper Nile
region they have never been able to re-
duce their alleged title to actual posses
sion, and hence France may we'll say to
them: Such territory Of barbarians as
we succeed in occupying is ours
| English ambition has been, and Is to
advance it's South African lines north
erly and Egyptian and English North
African lines southwardly, until the
two frontiers should meet, and thus give
the British Empire a continuous and un-
broken territorial sweep from the Nile
to the cape. France long ago set out to
prevent just that thing, and has pro-
NOTED expeditions to the interior from
both her west and east coast posses
sions, each pressing on to the upper
waters Of the Nile from which point, the
scheme has been to open out north and
south like a fan and cut British pre-
tension squarely in two and control the
headwaters Of that stream which is
the life, soul and salvation of Egypt.
With such control and the possibility
Of diversion, Egypt would be at the
mercy of the French. The report there
fore that strong French force is at
Fashoda on the White Nile only $50
miles above Khartoum, and that its
advance has commenced the descent of
the stream, is anything but pleasant
news for English ears.

THE TURN OF LIFE

methods of living, not one woman in a
thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
