connected with their disablement are as
well known to everybody as those of the
class above There are but 2'l5I men get
ting $40 month These must have lost, in
line of duty, leg at the hip-toint, or an
arm at the elbow joint facts about which
there can be no dispute.
The total of 993, ,529 pensioners on the rolls
June 80 1900 include everybody who could
lawfully claim connection with any of the
wars Waged since the country became a
notwithstanding OF revolutionary SOL
diers survivors and widows of the war OF
1872 the Indian wars, Mexican war, war
of the rebellion, the Spanish war and the
disabled men who had served in the regular
army and any navy at any time during the
last century and the widows. When we re-
call the astonishing amount of fighting the
United States did In the past century the
number Is not high. OF these 993.b29 sub
stantially out of every 10 get but W.
month or less. This simple statement, II
we'll considered, will at once dispose of the
limitless pother that has been raised over
the pension roll. A total Of 1895 get but
s6 a month or less; 326929 get IS a month,
making a total Of 400. $50. more than
half, who get but 81 week or less. There
are $3.50 who get but $40 month and
intermediate ratings which 1 have not
enumerated, this makes a total Of over
500 600 of the total of $685. ,529, or over out
of every 10 who get from $l.50 to 81 Week
There has been infinitely the most trouble
over the act of June p, 1890, under which
there are 561 IFS veterans and widows on
| the roll more than half the entire num-
ber. Yet the average annual value Of the
pensions under this act is but s10S.2S, or
trihe over 81 week. 1t was $121.51 under
Raum; Lochren pared it down to $1o9.5o.
and it has been further reduced, while the
men were growing older and needier, to
s1OS.2S Hundreds of thousands of veterans
and their widows have been unable to get
on even at this rate.
Inasmuch as the average veteran is now
past sixty. and that it has always been the
practice of the government to give. before
as much time had elapsed as since the last
war, a general pension of at least IS a
month the veterans naturally feel deeply
incensed that law which was intended to
be in harmony with previous legislation
should be so harshly construed against
them. In it's last analysis all this disturb
ance is as to whether certain old men, who
average past sixty, and who can show that
they served at least ninety days and were
honorably discharged, and the widows OF
SUCH shall receive the meager allowance OF
from 1.5O to 50 week.
The main difficulty is in making the peo-
pie realize how big a thing the rebellion
was. They cannot understand that for
four long years an average of 100000 Union
soldiers were in constant battle with an
average Of 100000 confederate soldiers. In
second or thrd-rate battles there were
more men killed than in the entire Mexican
war. That is what is responsible for the
enormous legacy of broken and disabled
men and widows-not the pension attor-

The Pension Roll Analysed.
o the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
have been made and are making to prevent
the dominating facts in this pension con-
troversy from being made public. The
Grand Army of the Republic has nothing
to fear, but everything to gain, from the
most searching investigation of the subject
1t has constantly challenged. and still chal-
lenges, the most exhaustive consideration
of the entire matter. In the first place. in
spite Of the constant clamor about enor-
nous pensions, there are but twenty men
on the pension roll receiving the highest
rating-$10O q, month. This is given by the
bureau to men who have lost both hands
in line of duty and by special acts of Con-
Sigel, Palmer, etc, or to brilliant soldiers
like Generals Rice, Black, etc. who were
terribly wounded in battle. This is but beg
carly rating, compared to what European
governments beStow upon officers of their
abilities and services. The next rating Is
$72, for men who in line Of duty lost both
eyes, both feet, the use of both hands, or
suffered such fearful. disabling mutilation
as requires the regular aid and attendance
of another person." The only possible dis
pute that there can ever be about this class
is as to whether their disabilities require
regular aid and attendance" But there
are only 2,151 of these on the roll. and the
list has been gone over thousands of times
by reporters anxious, to attack the roll,
and we may be sure that every man there
is indisputably entitled to his place.
The next rating Is 500 month, for those
who were so badly crippled in line of duty
as to require the periodical aid and at
tendance of another person" There are
but ], ,150 of these men. and all the facts
