WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. 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.
