Nearly a Million of Pensioners.

Congress has been running race with
death and Congress has won. The Civil
War pensioners are now dying at a rapid
rate, and yet the pension list Is increasing
rhlrty-seven years after the close of the
war there are more pensioners than ever
before. The number lacks only 674 Of be-
ing round million. This was an increase
of 1897 since 1899. The experts say 1t is
the high water mark, and that from now on
the increasing death rate will decrease the
pension list. This has been predicted
each year for the past twenty years, but
each time Congress has rallied to the rescue
of the list and added more names than death
could take off. At the last session 1000
bills were enacted granting pensions in cases
to which our most liberal pension laws
could not be stretched, and general laws
were passed which will add 10000 new
names to the long roll. The experts esti.
mate with confidence constant decrease in
the number of pensions from this Time
They say that at least 10000 pensioners will
die during the next year. The increasing
death roll of the veterans is pathetic, but
the death of a pensioner does not always
stop the pension.
We believe there are one or two Revolu.
tionary War pensions still paid, or were
within the last four or five years, although
the youngest possible soldier of that war, If
he were living now, would be something
like 1856 years old. The last of them died
many years ago, but the widows kept on
signing the pension roll. 1t was long a
regular business enterprise Tor INSCRIPTIONS

of this country are now paying nearly a

for the Union, to tens of thousands who did
not fight and never smelled powder, to thou

safety, and to thousands of widows Of all
these classes. Nothing has happened TO
