C. , Nov. 30 , ' 81. Political economists have gone into the mathematics of the Pension Office and find that we shall be paying pen sions with a good deal of alacrity seventy years hence. Tlie war has been over for twenty years , but the retrogression of the pension roll has been anything but in keeping with the natural decrease of that large class of our population. In fact few ( lie , and none .allow themselves to miss the quarterly pay day. Since 1861 , a little more than a million claims have been filed with the Pen sion Office , of which just about one- half have already been allowed , and last year wo went into an outlay of ! fifty seven millions of dollars to meet' the pension demand , though it should be said that thirty thousand of these last year's pensioners were back pay claimants under the arrears act. The actual increase of the pension roll was nineteen thousand and seventy-eight , and the regular steady augmentation is and has been about one thousand five hundred new claimants per month. The whole number of pen sioners who are actually in receipt of pensions is not so large as has often been stated , the aggregate being 322,756 , which includes the widows , children , relatives , navy invalids , fcc. , to say nothing of the survivors of the old wars and their widows. Wo have paid out almost seven lufndred millions of dollars for pen sions since 1861 , a sum that makes the Congressmen who had a hand in passing the first pension act stand aghast. At the time of the passage of that act no one dreamed that a mil lion of men would be called to arms within the next year , or within the next ten years , and the highest esti mate then given for pension claims that the Government would be called upon to meet in the future was ten million dollars per annum. Yet we have in one year paid a Jiundred mil lion dollars and do not seem to have the effects of it then or since. Our sVj'plus revenue is enormous , and wo are paying oil' the national debt more rapidly , economists say , than we ought to , and we , eem to be willing to stand it , for neither of the great political parties have ventured to commit themselves to any disturbance of the pension laws. The female population of the Capi tal is in a state of effervescence over the question of President Cleveland's selection of the \Vhito House mis tress. Yet I hardly imagine that the present members of the social class at Washington have any business to i concern themselves about an incom ing administration toward which few _ " of" them have any affection. This i social business in "Washington. like i that in other large cities , runs in a rut , and every attempt to get out of it , results in capsizing the vehicle. Mr. Cleveland has a married sister at Cleveland , Mrs. Bacon , another mar ried sister now living at the Govern or's residence at Albany , Mrs. ITo t. and a maiden sister , Elizabeth Cleveland - land , who is said to be not only i thoroughly accomplished , but is an > earnest instructress in the accom plishments. So that there may be no unnecessary alarm lost the White House may not be furnished with its' proper mistress. POM Pjnio. i : _ - _ = | < B February 28,1882 , when an * art was passed authorizing the coinage - | age of the silver dollar , the governj j inent has purchased J44ij(5 , ( ( > ,242 j ounces of silver , which represent- over six thousand tons of this metal. For this there were expended nearly § 1-17,000.000 , and from it were coin ed nearly ] S > .000,000 standard dollars lars , the net profit to the iroverninenl being within a fraction of * 21,000,000 , after deducting all expenses of coin age. Of the entire number of these dollars only 42,000,000 are in circu lation , the remainder being stored in the vaults of the treasury.
