IN MEMORIAM.

DIED. in Warrcnton on The 31St Of
january last. Henry y. FQo5e. in the
ffty-fourth year of his age. He was
born in Warren county and lived th re
all his life. He was the fourth and last
surviving son. and Youngest child OF
Henry \. and Nancy DAVIS tpit2hfoldl
Focte His eldest brother George y.
died year ago. the next oldest. Thomas
j.. was killed at Cold Harb0r. and the
third. James S. died in 1870 His only
sister. Mrs Simmons, the widow of the
late William GaStn Simmons. survives
him. Mir Foote was descended from
ian old and good stock OF pop!o on both
side Of his family who in peace and in
war did good service for their STATE.
When the War between the States
was begun the Foote brothers enlisted in
the Confederate service. and there re-
manned during the whole war, except
Thomas J who was killed III the first
great battle fought by the Army OF
Northern Virginia.; and they were valu-
aide and prominent citizens III their sec
ton Mr. FoGte completed his educa-
ton nj Wake Forest College after the
war. and commenced the practice of law
at Warrenten in 1870 having been
licensed in that year
In 1874 he became owner and editor
of the Warrenton Gazette. and for the
twenty-five years following continued the
publication of that paper under one mQa-
agcment. His talents were divided be-
tween the two professions. and his sue
cess as a lawyer was not rs marked as
il would have been had he devoted him
self assiduously to the law The Gazette
was sometimes personal in its printed
matter but during the whole period Of
lis existence it was devoted to what its
editor considered the highest good Of
his county and State. Through the
columns Of the Gazette also Mr.. Foote
did great service to his county.
His integrity Of character was severely
tried but it was maintained. He had Il
quick. sprightly intellect, not wanting in
humor, and he had strong likes and dis
likes. He cared nothing for money and
in his more prosperous days he had an
open hand for all VINO were in distress.
His words some times We're tinged with
bitterness. bur his deeds and his acts
were those of q good Samaritan. His
heart was tender, and his sympatMes
always keenly alive. Some how owing
TO a popularity of his mental make up,
he did not have the magnetic power 10
holA his friends. hut he was a manly
man. always truthful, always sincere.
and of high personal and moral courage.
His widow. Mrs Minnie Young Foote,
and SIX children survive him.

THE PENSION IA

As reported to the House of Repre-
sentives by the committee on appropri-
ations, the pension bill carries Il total
| OF S145, 245, 230, which is the amount
estimated by the pension bureau. 1t
is based upon existing law and pro-
vides for the ordinary additions to the
roll and droppings tn erefrom.
This is a large amount of money.
1t represents the toll and labor OF
the taxpayers of the countryside
working masses, who are made to bear
an unequal share of the expenses Of
the government. Many OF the beneici-
aries OF this vast sum are frauds and
mposters-persons who have no more
rightful claim upon the governments
bounty than "A Hottentot, but who,
through the partisan zeal of Legislators
and the fraud, perjury and unscrupu-
lous scheming OF pension attorneys,
have been placed upon the rolls and
benefit by the millions wrung from the
burdened masses.
1t is by no certain, however,
that even the large amount already be-
ing paid in pensions will not be great
ly increased. The above appropria-
tion does not take into consideration
the wild and extravagant propositions,
numbered by the score, which are now
before Congress. and proposed service
pensions, prison pensions and %extraor-
binary allowances and arrearages. In
deed some Of the pension meas
ures now under consideration, If adopt
ed, would necessitate the expenditure
upon pensions of every cen Of the fed
eral revenues, leaving nothing for the
carrying on of the government.
The great bulk of the proposed pen
sion legislation Goes not emanate from
worthy and deserving soldiers and
sailors but from avariciOus and I'M
s%crupulous pension attor neys. This
fact is we'll known, and yet, through
fear of the soldier vote, Congressman
allow these measures that open the
door 10 fraud and perjury to become
laws.
At present the activities of these
pension sharks are largely directed to
fling claims for pensions on behalf OF
men who served during the Spanish-
American war. The casualties in Gu
ba and Porto Rico were small, consid-
ering the number of troops engaged.
and yet claims for pensions are being
filed by thousa nds. The District of
Columbia regiment, for instance, had
no part in the fighting and lost none
iu killed wounded or missing, yet it
has 4l9 claims pending. The Seventy
first New York regiment, some OF
whose officers were severely criticised
for failure to lead their men to the
front, has entered 31S claims for pen
sions.
No greater outrage was ever perpe-
trated upon the people than this enor-
nous pensions roll. 1t is vicious and
indefensible, and demands remedying
Worthy pensioners are not objected to,
but the mass of frauds and deadbeats
on the rolls are a reproach and humili-
alton to all honest citizens. How long
will it be before Congressman can find
courage enough to do justice TO the
taxpayers in The matter Of pensions?-

ments cost S325,744. The routes of all
kinds in the domestic mail service
cover over 100000 miles in length, and
