Pension Prospects.
From the New York Evenlng Post

From the New YORK Evening Post
The report of the Commissioner OF Pensions
contains the rather surprising statement that
the number of pensioners at the end of June
was actually more than 1900 less than II was
a year ago. In spite Of the granting Of 81
600 new pensions, the ravages of death among
the old pensioners, with other causes, have
decreased the total number. Death alone
struck off more than 81, 600 names from the
roll, and other changes raised this number to
49, 600. The Spanish war is already respon-
sible for nearly II, 900 claims, and as less than
800 of these have been allowed, the charge on
this account has not begun TO be felt. Ii will
be heavy enough if our forces are 10 be EN-.
ployed much longer in the Philippines, and it
is doubtful if the pension payments will not
again exceed $40, 900. 600. When it appears
that out of III 200 claims fled $1,000 were
allowed, that nine-tenths of the applications
of widows were granted, aud that two thirds
Of those for increase Of pensions were acted
on favorably, it seems difficult to believe that
the present Commissioner Of Pensions can be
accused Of lack of liberality. But when we
find that during the year sixty-three attorneys
have been disbarred, ten suspended, and two
dropped, and that the total number disbarred
is now l ,163, we cease to be surprised at any
evidence of rapacity and fraud in connection
with our pension system.

Should be Stopped.
From the Cecil Democrat


The custom practiced by societies and
churches Of issuing ''books' to persons to
''run'i for carriages, harness, watches, organs.
&c. is becoming decided annoyance. The
candidates scour the country begging contri-
buttons from all persons, no matter whether
they have any interest in the individual, church
or society or not. With a presumption amount
ing TO impudenee they approach entire strang
ers aud solicit money from them, and SO ex-
tensive has the practice become that it amounts
TO a nuisance. Candidates for office, public
officials and prominent men are the favorite
victims and if they refuse they are at once
blacklisted. There are many proper methods
of raising money but this is not one Of them,
and it should be promptly discontinued. One
prominent county official in Elkton has been
made such victim of this custom that he says
he favors an act OF the legislature prohibiting
