SS01D0Don"
New Orleans Picayune.
The attack of General Sickles on
Comm issioner Evans. of 'he PEN
sion Office, is not only likely TO
prove boomerang to those who
are scheming to : tire the Comm's.
sioner, but is ais. certain to bring
about a very general discussion of
the whole pension business. Ii is
loudly declared that thousands of
persons are drawing pensions from
the Government who are in no way
entitled Il. them, and in this way
the original purpose of the pension
list has been prostituted. A pen
sion should indicate that the reci
pient has been wounded or so in
caritated in the service of his cOun-
try that he is unable to earn a
living. In that sense the pension
roll would be roll of honor; but
as pensions are now paid to every
soldier who served even an infini-
tesimal time during the Civil War,
the whole system has become a
mighty scandal, which is annually
draining from the National Treas
ury more money than it takes to
support the largest standing army in
Europe.
The opposition of the old soldiers
to Commissioner Evans is ditl cult
to understand in the face of the
fact that there was a net increase
sioners on the pension roll during
the past fiscal year. The Civil War
has been over now thirty-six years,
yet the pension list, instead of
diminishing, is increasing. That
the old soldiers differ from other
mortals is not to be supposed; there
fore it is difficult to believe that
their number has not been rapidly
diminishing for a long time past.
The only charge against Mr.. Evans
is that he takes a too strict view of
the pension laws and throws out
cases which he has reason to sus-
pect as fraudulent. That he is not
overstepping his duty is evident
from the fact that, despite his
watchfulness, the roll continues to
increase.
The only Commissioner who was
entirely acceptable to the old SOL
diers was Corporal Tanner, whose
generous way of emptying the public
money into the pockets of the pen
sion attorneys and old soldiers be-
came so notorious that President
Harrison could not stand the
scandal, and was compelled to re-
move him. If such a man as Tan
ner IS the person wanted in the Pen
sion Office, then the President would
be doing great public service in
retaining Commissioner Evans.
The country ought to be made to
understand that the pension scandal
has gone far enough. If the pres
ent course is persisted IN and the
pension drain is made larger, Con-
gress ought to thoroughly investi-
gate the pension rolls and order
them purged of all unworthy per-
sons. BY no possible stretch of
the imagination can the further in
crease IN the number of pensioners
so long after the close of the war
be justified.
