that is, their liberty. Not one in a

fore every bulletin which tells Of

irrespective OF the result of the

what We are fighting for, say that
the Filipinos are savsges and must
be put down. Others say that they
began the war, and must be put
down for that reason. Others con-
tend that the flag must never be

raised or not. These were a pretty
large class in the beginning, but are
seldom heard from now. A fourth
variety say that trade follows the

be retained for the money that there

Pensions.
Chicago Democrat.

chicago Democrat.
IT is a significant fact that the
war with Spain Las already proved
responsible for the filing of 1900
pension claims.
From this fact one can readily in.
fer that the Philippine war is going
to prove a most costly enterprise.
But it is stated with much ap.
proval that Henry Clay Evans. COM
missioner of pensions, in his annual
report announces that the number
of pensioners on the national list
has decreased 1000 over that record.
ed last year.
Perhaps this decrease may be
traced in some degree to the fact
that sixty-three pension attorneys
were disbarred. ten suspended and
two dropped during the year. The
total number of attorneys dropped
to dates is 1,163.
And yet $1,000 new pensions were
granted. Undoubtedly many of
these were fraudulent claims, for at
this late date since the ending of
the war between the states it does
not seem reasonable to believe that
all of these $1,000 pensioners had
valid claims.

responsible for the tremendous bur,
den which q pension list of $780,
100000 a wear imposes.
