There Were 969.544 June 30, Names on 1894. the Roll The report of the Commissioner of Tensions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, has been forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior. It states that the number of pensioners on the rolls Tune 30, lSot, was 066,01 2 : that during the year 39,085 new pensioners were added to the roils, ana 8,395 previously dropped were restored, while x 7.0 Si have been dropped for death and other causes ; and on June, 30, 1894, the number of pensioners upon the rolls was 069,544. The number of pension certificates issued during the rear was 80,213, and 132,873 claims of all classes were re jected. On Tuly t. 1804, there were un disposed ol and in different stages of preparation and advancement claims for pension and for increase to the amount of 619,027, of which 287,209 claims originals, widows and depend entsare on behalf of persons not already on the rolls. These claims, save some recently tiiea, nave oeen examined more than once and found lacking is essential evidence. They are the hme cases that have come down through the past years. WORK UNDER EARLIER LAWS. The fact is referred to that under the earlier laws the allowances de creased from 50,177, in 1876, to 9977 ten years later. The Arrears act brought in a large number of new claims, increasing the allowances, and the Disability act of June 27, 1890, caused 363,797 claims to be filed the next year. As most of these claims were meritorious and simple as to proof under that law and under order 164, which went beyond the law and rated disabilities as if of service origin, the work was easy, and an expert ex aminer could glance over the papers and allow 50 or more in a day. Most of the force of special examiners were called in and put at this work. Diffi cult cases and such as were lacking in proof, or suspicious in respect to merit, or requiring special examination, were passed over and now constitute a large part of the cases coming up for ad judication. New claims of a:l kinds have fallen off from 363,799 in 1891 to 40,14s in 1894, the fact being that original claims for pensions nnder existing laws are substantially all in, and the bulk of new claims are for increase or for widows and dependents. A CAMPAIGN LIE EXPLODED. In regard to the statement by Secre tary McKee, of the Republican Con gressional Campaign Committee, that 50,000 notices have been prepared at the Pension Office to be sent to pen sioners, requesting them to show cause why their pensions should not be re duced or dropped, and that Secretary Smith had ordered the forwarding of the communications withheld until after the elections, Commissioner of Pensions Lockren this afternoon said : li Mr. Secretary McKee is either imposed on by somebody or is circu lating palpable falsehoods. He says that there were 50,000 notices pre-( pared to be sent to old soldiers, asking them to show cause why their pensions should not be dropped or reduced. That these were all ready to be sent, but it was determined to withhold them till after election. It is not sug gested how such a glut of notices could have accumulated before there was any purpose to withhold them. The whole story is too palpably untrue lo deceive any one who will consider it a moment. No notices will be with held." Secretary Smith also characterized the story as a " campaign lie.'' Election day, November 6th. THE SOUVENIB, COINS. The World's Fair Hall Dollar to be Put in Circulation by the Treasury. The Chicago souvenir coin of the World's fair is to be a current half dollar. It was supposed at one time that these coins would command fancy prices as souvenirs. This expectation was not realized, tne wnole issue authorized by congress would have been turned over to the World's fair managers but for their violation of the agreement which was made a condi tion 01 tne girt in respect to the open, ing of the lair on Sunday. In consequence $1,795,080 in sou venir halves remained in the treasury at the close ot the fair. - A demand having recently sprung up for their face value, Secretary Carlisle issued an order to the sub-treasuries directing thetn to pay out on demand the silver coins at the same ratio as the legalized halt dollars ot the United States, nam ely, at par with gold.

The following letter, with list of in- quiries attached, has been addressed to the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor. He does not recognize the propriety of making private declara tions or pledges relating to matters affecting the general welfare while a candidate for office, and therefore gives to the public both questions and answers : Willi amsport, Pa., Oct. 12, 1894.

AMERICAN PROTECTIVE ASSOCIA TION. S. K. Runyan, Chairman. First. Are you in favor of main- taining our public school system ? A. i es. Second. Have you ever been con nected with the public schools ; and, if so, how ? A. Only as a pupil, a School Director (about thirty years ago) and as a taxpayer. lnirc. Are you in favor of com pulsory education ? A. No. Fourth. Are you in favor of ftvinc the American Flag over all school buildings, and of teaching, by every possible means, the American youth undying loyalty to that Flag ? A. I am specially and particularly and con stantly in favor of loyalty to American institutions, and to the Flag as an emblem of our nationality. I am in favor of flying the American Flag up on every occasion possible to float it On land and sea. Fifth. Are you in favor of allow ing any other than the Stars and Stripes being displayed in the United States on public occasions ? A. 1 see no objection to the display of the na of any country on occasions of special interest to citizens of foreign birth who love their fatherland. Sixth. Would you vote to appro priate any public money for sectarian purposes. A. No. Seventh. Are you in favor of the Stone Emigration bill ? A. I am in favor of such restriction of foreign immigration as is needed to prevent the landing of criminals, paupers and1 anarchists. Eighth. What should be required of an alien before he can be natural ized ? A. An intelligent understand ing of our free system of Government and the duties of citizenship. Ninth.

Twelfth. If elected, will you pledge yourself to do your utmost to carry out your opinions on these ques tions, regardless of any influence that may be brought to bear on you ? A. The oath of office, which must be taken by every State official, is a sufficient pledge. He can, with con sistency, rm'.ke no other ; and no other can be properly rcquired'of him. Respect for Governor Ourtin. Thongh a little late we are yet con strained to say a eulogistic word over the new-nude grave of Pennsylvania's Democratic war Governor, Hon. A. G. Curtin, who died on the 7th, instant. Having frequently heard his voice and seen his tears when encouraging and admonishing his beloved boys in blue in Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg, we wish to say that we met no other public character during the war (not excepting Grant) who inspired in us more patriotic zeal as a soldier, or impressed us more favorable as a man. His only apparent weakness was that of drink, and this (though perhaps generally excused by the soldiers who reciprocated his genuine affection) we regard as the only barrier between him and the highest honor that the nation could bestow upon him. His very physiognomy indicated the gentleman and states man, so far as the facial expression is an index to the soul of nun. As these words, drawn from the heart, strike the eye of the soldiers alive to day, who well remember Governor Cur. tin's kindly admonition after giving them their guns and rations at Camp Curtin, and bidding them go forth and battle for their flag, their homes, and national freedom, an unbidden tear is apt to fall from the eye. if we mistake not the feeling of the soldier proper who had placed his very life aj a sacrifice upon the altar ot his united country and bidden his dearest friends a tearful farewell, and in many cases not even expecting to return or to survive the hazards and hardships of war. With the death of Governor Curtin these thoughts all recur to us ; and, his political affiliations consider ed, we are forced to say that in his case, at least, we found a noble man whose patriotism was superior to party ties whenever it became neces sary to choose between them. All honor to such a man in life or death. Marriage- Hippenstiel and Gilbert On the 1 1 inst. at the Reformed parsonage in Orangeville, by Rev. A.
