with trains running to all parts of the
Peninsular State. Thru cars run from
more northern points to Florida than
to any other State in the Union. Flor
ida is the Winter playground of the

usual facilities for handling the traffic,
which is growing with each succeeding

during all the years the system was
under this crucial examination:
Tota.. ota....................sS,62O,OOO 600

Thus it will be seen that in nine
years there was spent the enormous
sum of S3.S2000O for Special Examin-
ers alone. That is. men who followed
the pensioner to wherever he or she
lived, examined him or her personally,
went over his or her claim to a pension
outside of and beyond the papers that
had been filed in the Bureau, indus
triously gathered up everything which
could be made to reflect on him or her
and gave the fullest weight to every
thing that could be said by enenics.
We could fill up several numbers of
the Worlds Work with instances of the
incredible cruelties, insults AMI injrs-
tice of these examinations.
Now for the result:
No laws on the statute books are
more severe, more drastic and more
certain in their operation than those
governing the pension system. A man
or woman who accepts a pension must
do it in fear of the prison, and any
attorney who prosecutes pension~case
takes his professional reputation and
social standing in his hand to walk
the straightest and narrowest path. The
laws guarding the system from wrong
doing are administered with a severity
not equaled by those ruling the Gus
toms or Internal Revenue Services.
During President Cleveland's Admin
istration all of the other Departments
of the Government were stirred up to
aid him for political purposes in MAX
ing his assertions good and furnishing
support to his claim that he was giving
the people a reform" Administration.
He had raised hopes that he was going
to be more successful in reforming the
pension system than any other feature
of the Administration The Post Office
Department and the Department of
Justice were particularly active in help
ing the Interior Department j.. its great
reform, but wherever any official could
be rung in to help prove frauds in the
Pension Bureau his services were en-
listed. The courts everywhere stood
ready to convict and administer ex-
emplary punishment upon offenders.
The following table of convictions Sc
cured for term Of years under differ
ent Commissioners will show how fruit
less President Cleveland's prodigious
raid of reform was when it came
down to actual results in q court of
law:
