PENSION WOEK Of A YEAR.
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.''

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.

Pertinent Answers to Rather Imper
tinent Queries.
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.
Dear Sir : The following ques
tions have been sent to all the candi
dates for office, regardless of party, in
. ...... .. .. -
mis aisinct. w 111 you kindly answer
them as you may see fit, and return '
them

mittee as soon as possible ?

AMERICA.
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. How long should he reside

Eleventh. Do you believe that
Protestant Americans are the best
and safest persons to intrust the man
agement of our pub'ic offices? A.

sured by simple honesty, capacity and
efficiency on the part of officials.
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.
