THE U. S. PENSION ROLL.
Over Three billions of Dollars Expend.
ed since the Civil War.

The annual report of Mr.. Ware. the
commissioner Of pensions, shows that
the total cost of pensions to the govern
ment for the past IS years has been
S,9421IA,li5 in pensions paid and $685.
647 1874 expended in maintaining the pen
sion service. He estimates that the
Revolutionary War cost the government
S,00000 in pensions; War of 1872, &C. 234, =
Ala; war with Mexico, $685. iS3,oo9, " ar
of the Rebellion, sZ,s7s 30, 400 and the
war with Spain, s5,479,2Gs; making the
total disbursements for pensions s33OS, =
SO $50.
In 1890 the cost Of the pension system
amounted to 81 40 per 81 900 of the aggre-
gate wealth of the country. In 1893 it
reached 1924, and since then has grad
nally declined to $3.50 in 1895, $3.50 in 1900
and Sl.32 in the last year.
Mr.. Ware reports that 1874 applica-
tions were rejected last year. of which
Sl,l07 were for increase, in which it was
found that no increased disability ex-
listed. and 90,9l6 were rejected on medi-
cal grounds. total of 22,S00 cases were
rejected on legal grounds, many of the
claimants being already in receipt of
pensions The number of applications
for original pensions was 5000, and the
number Of applications for an increase
was LA 0S3.
The total number of pensioners now on
the rolls Is 996,545. of whom 3j6 are
| pendents. Mr., Ware says it is not prob
able that the roll will again cross the
million line the high-water mark having
| been reached a year ago. He estimates
that the unpensioned survivors Of the
Civil War are, in round numbers, 200 900.
In 10 years, he predicts, the unknown
army will have ceased TO be factor.
Five of the pensioners are on the roll
on account of the War of the Revolution,
| !, lilo on account Of the War of 1872, ABA
on account of Indian wars, and 1854 on
account of the Mexican War The great
| bulk of the roll is as follows
Civil War, invalids, 78 i56; widows,
2is,390; Spanish War, invalids, $500;
widows, 1862; regular establishment, in
valids, 9,17O; widows, 1888.
The roll shows net loss Of 290l pen
sioners In the year The average annual
value OF each pension il now sl33. The
Spanish War pension list last year was
| S. 204 ,0S4
Commissioner Ware recommends laws
| forfeiting the right to pension, of any
| man convicted in court of an infamous
crime; prohibiting the giving of pen
sions to women who marry soldiers after
the soldiers become old pensioners, and
II different method of examining appli-
cants for pensions, stamping the present
system as uncertain, unsatisfactory, and
| causing an enormous amount Of politicl
| friction. Mr.. Ware suggests boards of
experts, under civil service rules, which
should go from place to place on fixed
days. making examinations and receiv-
ing testimony regarding the condition
of applicants and making reports there
on. lie also recommends law provid-
ing for superannuated clerks. Mr.. Ware
says that the bureau has gained on the
current work 100000 cases in the last two
| years

proposition that Mr.. Carl pay him $40 and
keep the animal Neither proposition be-
Ing acceptable and Mr.. Carl refusing to
