Another PensIon scandaI.

Another pension scandal is
promised. Recently ten review
ing clerks were dismissed because
they awarded pensions to members
Of regiments who never did any
service in the war. Now there is
to be an investigation Of the
charge that executive order 6S, re-
lating to men Of the 60 years age
limit, has been interpreted so as
to be retroactive, entailing an ex-
pense Of $3.50, 900. The pension
business is the parent Of many
kinds Of rascality. Think of the
amount Of lying that is done by
people who are not entitled to
pensions! And perjury, tool
There lisa regular trade in iraudu-
lent pensions, especially where
negroes are applicants, We inn
prison a clerk or a domestic SER
want who steals a few dollars, but
we actually offer q premium for
the man who will swear falsely
and reach bis hand into the public
treasury. It is the size Of the
theft that makes the d~ifferencef
Surely, We are too easy going and
cOmplacent. We know that there
is fraud, but we make no protest.
After all, we say, it is the peoples
money, getting back to the people:
or, this sort Of thing will not last
much longer, because the veterans
win all be dead after awhile; or,
let as not stop the rascality for we
may be depriving a deserving man
OF help. One or all Of these rea-
sons make appeal, and nothing Is
done to stop the unlawful drain
upon the public treasury and the
insidious assault upon public
morals.
Meantime the general expenses
Of the government exceed the re-
ceipts by many millions Of dollars.
It would seem to be common sense
to stop expenditures wherever
such economy can be praCticed;
bat especially is it wise to stop
the leakage and stealing, where
ever they are found to exist.

MORE SCHOOL HISTORY.

In giving the history of the branch
OF the first public school in one part
OF the borough. we did not state tn t
on the other side of the borough the
really first public school was kept by
Mr.. Oliver Cox for a number of years
before the branch schools were
started. on the green, where the Sex
ton property now is. a great many of
the res dents of this borough now liv-
inQ, well remember the school house
where thev spent some of their hap
piest days from childhood to
hood and manhood. Mr.. Cox's
daughters, Mrs. Boice and Miss Katie
Cox used to assist him in teaching.
Katie Cox afterwards married Samuel
Greenleaf. Mrs Greenleaf is now a
resident of South River and her son
Samuel is a resident of this borough.
Mr. Cox was made postmaster and the
post office was held in the house form
erly owned by Captain Fish and fami.
". but now owned and occupied by
Edwin Akens and family. In part Of
that house Mr.. Cox had a number
of scholars also. AS the place grew
it can be seer by the schools being
so scattered that a large public schoo
house was badly needed and at the
present time little South Amboy can
boast of three fine public schoo
houses. one of them being st. Mary''
fine parochial school. We give thi.
statement because some of those who
attended the school house or the greer
we're inclined to resent the Sigh
given to the school house So endear et
to them ly memories.
