IS
THE PENSION INVBSTTGATION-
The testimony in the Raum in
vestigation presents some curious
and suggestive facts as to the man
ner in which the business of the
pension office is conducted. Gen
erally speaking, the claims seem to
be adjusted as carefully and expe
ditiously as the circumstances will
permit; but there is a great deal of
delay, nevertheless, and many de
vices are resorted to by interested
parties for the purpose of haoten
ing the proceedings. Every con
gressman has hundreds of such
claims to look after for his con
stituents, and millions of dollars
are annually paid to attorneys for
like services. It seems to be prac
ically impossible to get a claim
passed upon in a reasonable time
unless it is urged by some outside
influence. This does not necessar
ily imply that there is intentional
discrimination in favor of any par
ticular class of claimants, but it
does signify, that discrimination
ensues by reason of such pressure.
A skillful attorney or a zealous
congressman can cause final action
to be taken in many cases before
other cases of equal merit have
passed the preliminary stages. It
is a matter of tact and perseverance.
The officials of the pension office
are not consciously partial, per
haps, but partiality is shown all the
same, and it affords .cause of criti
cism and complaint. '
There should be a system of ad
justing pension plaims undec which
even the appearance of favoritism
would be impossible. The present
force of the pension office is not
large enough to insure rapid inves
tigation and settlement, but it can
be increased. Such claims are of a
peculiarly sacred and urgent char
acter. The claimants are poor for
the most part, and they need the
money to meet ordinary living ex
penses. In a majarity of the cases
the facts are not at all doubtful or
complicated. They can be adjusted
without the interposition of attorn
eys, and it is wrong to require the
vetrans pay for legal aid in the mat
ter. The government should bear
all the cost of preparing evidence
and putting claims in shape to be
definitely passed upon. It is due to
the penioners that they be not com
pelled to discount their pension in
order to secure the money as eoon
as it should be given them. One of
the grave faults of the present sys
tem is that the most deserving ap
plicants are often neglected because
they are the least able to employ
outside help. The business ought to
be so transacted that all claims shall
stand upon an equal footing, and be
disposed of in regular order. It is
clear that more or less distinction is
bow made, and there is no good rea
son why it should be continued. If
the existing methods are not equal
to the work 01 correction, then new
ones should be adopted, and con
gress should authorize such addi
tional expenditure as may be neces
sary for the purpase. Globe Demo

TARIFF PICTURES.
Here is a result of republican re
ciprocity which free trade papers
will carefully abstain from discuss
ing. The imports of American
flour into Havana for the months
of January and February, 1891, were
5,758 sacks.
For the same mouths in 1892 they
were 83,&3 sacks.

In the latter pnrt of 18U3, when the
war vessels now in course of con
struction are completed, the United
States will stand mTenth in the list
of naval powers according to the
estimate of the lloune Naval Com
mittee. Great Britain, France, Italy,
Rnssia, Germauy and Spain, in this
order, will be ahea-i of us at that
time, and only these. Haifa dozen
other nations as well as these are
ahead of us now, as seen by the
committee's figures. We must not
remain behind Germany and Spain,
however. Nor should weallow Italy
to lead us. We have greater resour
ces and a far longer coast lae than
aay of these three nations, nd we
need a stronger najy
"1 Secret ary Elkins has accepted
the invitation to deliver the address
at the annual Grant banquet in New
York; April 27. The present secre
tary of war was one of General
Grant's most intimate friends in the
later years of his life, and it was up
on the judgment of Secretary Elkins
Grant relied when oveitaken by
financial disaster. Elkins assured
the old commander that his integri
ty could not be impeached, and was
a great comfort to him. . It is very
appropriate that Secretary Elkins
should deliver the address in New
York when they propose to begin
the buildinc of the monument to
Grant's memory.
Mr. Bryan is helping harmony
along in the democratic ranks by

o'clock this morning without set
tlement, and Congressman Bryan
pramises to make it more lively on
free silver as soon as the conven
tion gets into working order, so we
can safely say they won't get
through till tonight.

I feel it my duty to say a few
words in regard to Ely's Cream
Balm, and I do so entirely without
solicitation. I have used it more
or less half a year, and have found
it to be most admirable. . I have
suffered from catarrh of the worst
kind ever since I was a little boy
and I never hoped for cure, but
Cream Balm seems to do even that.
Many of my acquaintances have
used it witu excellnnt results.
