The Pension Rolls Grow, The annual report of the Commis- | sioner of Pensions just submitted to the secretary of the interior shows that when the fiseal closed on June 30 there were 676,160 pens sioners on the rolls—A net increase of 138,216 during the twelve months. At the close of the 118,545,- 956 had been paid out on account of pensions, and there remained 38,- 000 pensioners who had not been paid for “lack of time.” As the amount due to these was $4,8% 13, the total expense for the year as shown on the face of the report is $123,883,202. “Lack of time” as used in the 1e- port means of course that at the time when the pensions were due the Administration did not have the money to pay them and that the fis- cat year closed while it was waiting for it to come in. Such has been the extravagance in all directions; so great was the anxiety of the Ad- ministration and the Reed Congress to spend the surplus, that now when the tariff duties have been made so year year high that they shut out imports and yield a dwindling revenue, the Ad- ministration is continually hard pressed to get the money to make the pension payments. Great has been the increase in the number of pensions during the year; although an army of 138,000 has been added in twelve months to the army of half a million already on the rolls, the administration un- doubtedly “held up” thousands of cases fully complyiug prima facie with the requirements of the Disabil- ity bill, because of the very large appropriations in other directions made by the Bullion-Dollar Con- gress. Had not dene there would now be at least three- quarters of a million pensioners on the rolls, as there certainly will be before the close of the present has this been fiscal year. The Administration is | not only holding back because it has emptied the Treasury, but because | it is trying to keep down the total expenditure so that it will not reach its maximum before the campaign year. The brakes will be taken off between June 30, 1892, the close of the fiscal year, and the day ef the Presidential election in November, when there will be no means for the opposition to get at statistics show- ing what has beeu done But even as the pension list stands it makes our anuual military expense, excluding naval expenditures, er than that for any standing } the world.—St. Louis Republe. Col. Ingersoll says he generally finds that when a wan reaches that point where he cannot pay his own debts he turns his attention to the finances of the government and evolves an elaborate plan for running them.
