THE PENSION NAV.

War or no var. the Unsuitable nav OF
the pension iniquity will continue agape
and must be fed. The Secretary OF the
Interior has just asked Congress Tor an
extra appropriation Of over $'wo"' 10
meet n deficiency In the pension account
for the year ending next June. rms ID
4, addition 10 the amount called for by
the roll az II stood last June, and which
footed up over $4o,coc,Oco.
In this connection II may be noted that
the Commissioner OF Pensions Is OF the
opinion that the outlay on pension ac-
count must continue to increase for some
time TO come. although It Is thirty-three
years this spring since the close Oh 'he
civil war In the same connection IL may
also be noted that the number OF PEN
sioners has almost doubled since loso' at
which time a quarter OF century hao
elansed since the end Of the struggle
In 1900 the total was 1874. while 1t Is
now about 5000; and the increase IN the
amount requised to pay them mas peeh
proportionately great.
AS we pointed out yesterday, some OF
the most loyal adherents of Dingleyism
concede that even II We do not have war
II will be necessary to provide for an IN
crease of revenue TO the amount oil
SOS. 900 900 or $50 OOO, 900 per annum for seve-
raj wears to come In order to meet future
expenditures that will be imperative on
account of the military and naval pre-
variations now in progress. Now, when
we consider how far short OF meeting the
Ordinary expenses" of the government
the revenue under the Dingley bill has
fallen, it would appear that for several
years to come we will also have to raise
over and above the additional $25,VOO,VO
or $SOOO0,0O0 some extra millions for PEN
sions. And yet, with this as the hscai
prospect, when viewed from a peace
standpoint. there are people who would
invoke war, utterly regardless Of whether
war would be justifable.

the members have gone 20 their homes.
This seems a proper. prudential move
ment upon bis part. New York would be
put TO large expense in furnishing her
qsosa OF troops under any call the presi-
dent might make, and though ultimately
the United States might reimburse the
state on this account. delay and trouble
would ensue If there were no approprla-
Ton from which he could draw. We do
nor hho~ what action the Legislature
VIII take. but We may be sure that IL
no appropriation be made In advance.
