Skinning the Pension Roll.

That Mississippi has a pension scan
dal seems TO be al open secret. In the
debate on the pension bill, when the old
soldiers Of the house and a sufficient
majority of other members voted with
them to increase the pension budget to
$500, 900 a year from the 500, 900 rec
commended by the committee, it was
charged in debate that if the pension
rolls were pnrged OF those not entitled
to draw. the s500.O0 would be more
than ample, especially as the old soldiers
of the house have grabbed the $4,000
too, that was being used to pension the
old negro servants In one county there
were thirty-fve blind widows drawing
frst-elass pensions. When the auditor
investigated. convinced that the roll was
being padded and sOuged, 4 revised list
was sent in with only three on it. The
