pip THE PITTSBURG ' DISPATCH, THUKSDAY, - DECEMBER 1, 1892. 8 GROWTH OF PENSIONS. Commissioner Haam's Report of the Wort of the Past Year. ABOUT 200,000 MORE ON THE ROLLS Thin Thire Were at the Same Period of the Last Fiscal Tear. LOWER dOST OP THE CERTIFICATES W-lSHIHGTOir, Xot. SO. The annual re port of Oreen B. Itaum, Commissioner of Pensions, made public to-day, shows that there were on the pension rolls Jane 30, 1892, 876,068 pensioners, an increase during the year of 199,908. There were added to the rolls during the year 222,937 new pensioners, and 2,477 pensioners previously dropped were restored to the pension lists. During the year 25,306 persons were dropped from the rolls. The total amount expended for pensions during the year was 139,035,612. For the present fiscal year 144,956.000 is appro priated, and taking the cost of the pensions allowed during the first four months of this fiscal year as a basis, the Commissioner esti mates that a deficiency appropriation of 10,058.621 will be necessary to supplement this appropriation. , An estimate oi $165,000,000 is submitte d for the next fiscal year, but Commissioner pensions shall be made during the fiscal1 year to oome as during the fiscal year ended June 30 last, the amount will not be large enough. He says, however, that it is dii ficult to forecast pension payments so far in advance, and that, as Congress will be in session, no embarrassment will arise if his successor, in the light of actual cost of the work for the next six months of the fiscal year, finds that lurther appropriation will be needed. Under the Dependent Disability Act. Under the dependent disability pension act 920,957 claims have been filed, of which (03,859 have been allowed. The pension payments under the law up to September 30, 1892. amounted to $756,494,443. The Commissioner heartily commends this dis ' ability act. He admits that since the passage ot that law there has been a great deal of unfavorable comment upon the pension system in general, and that it had been said that the country is in danger of being bankrupted by extravagant and un deserving pension "legislation. But, he comments: Jl casual consideration of the great change In the mode or the lives of these men, and the conditions to which military Hie In time of war subjected tfcein must suggest that the strain upon the life powers of the sol dier was so great as to make permanent In roads upon the vital lorces nhicli would necessarily result in tlie development ot a multitude of ailments and disabilities be yond the reach of medicine. It Is this class oi citizens nlio now constitute tlie great body of those who are on the pension rolls; good health and the ability to perform labor were their capital, and when tlieae were gone they were in a great measure deprived of their means or support. A very large proportion of the men who carried tue mus ket have Deen unable to keep up with their neighbors who remained at home in the great struggle of life, and the claims of these persons or assistance from tlie Government rest upon the broadest loundatlon ot jus tice. Hard Work on Original Claims. The Commissioner says that the policy of the office for three years has been to use'the larger part of the official force upon origi nal claims, believing it just and proper that those who have never received a pension should have their cases considered in ad vance of those persons seeking an increase of pension. During the past fiscal year 234,047 certifi cates were issued in original cases and 79, 781 in increase claims. Commissioner TUum is of the opinion that if this poiicv be pursued until the close of the fiscal year 1894, the adjudication oi original claims will be substantially completed, and that at the close of 1894 the highest number of pensioners ever to be on the rolls will have been nlaced there. There are 449,876 original claims pending, of which number 109,000 are apparently complete. It is important both for claim ants and the Government to dispose of the original cases as soon as possible, as first payments date from the filing of declara tions, and are at the average rate of $11 a month. As a rule the claimants are far in terior to their neighbors in physical stam ina and ability to perform manual labor for a living, and are greatly in need of the money. Attention is called to the necessity of claimants preparing their cases properly in order to expedite the work of the bureau. The First Payments for the Tear. During the year first payments were made in 306,463 cases, requiring an expendi ture of $45,144,167. including 230,232 orig inal claims, amounting to $37,881,283. The average value of original payments was $164 55 and of original payments under the disability act $127 19. The aggregate an nual value of the 876,068 pensions on the rolls June 30, 1892, was $116,879,887. At the close of the fiscal year there was a bal ance on hand from the appropriation for pensions of $2,289,714 and a deficiency in the appropriation for payment ot fees and expenses of examining surgeons of $305,000. The number of claims of all kinds pend ing October 12, 1892, was 788,061, of which 353,434 were filed under the disability act. The revolutionary and 1812 war rolls are rapidly dwindling. Only 20 widows and two daughters of Revolutionary veterans are on the former roll. The survivors of the war 1812 on the rolls now number only 165 against 264 a year before. Mr. Baum closes with a comparative statement of the work done under the Cleve land and Harrison administrations. He says: The total number of original certificates Issued from March 4. 1889, to October 31, 1892, was 520,5t5, and the total number of pension certificates of all classes issued during said period was 835,048, while durini: the period trom March 4, 18S5, to October 31, 18:3, the number of original certificates issued was 185,763. and the total number or certificates issued during that period was 402,335, being an excess of original certificates issued dnr. Inethe period of your administration of JM,7V6, ana an aggregate excess oi ail Classes of certificates oi 432,563. The average cost to the Government of each certificate granted during the Cleve land administration, the Commissioner says, was $21 35, and during the present ad ministration at $10 41, and he adds: "The work of, the office was very far in arrears when this administration took charge of the Bureau of Pensions, while to-day the busi ness ii a nearly current as it can be made."

LOST IK PITTSBURG. A Little Girl Leaves Her New Home and Cannot Again Find It. Annie Love, an 11-year-old girl, is at the Eleventh ward police station. Her parents moved to this city from Braddock Tuesday. Yesterday the little girl started to the East End to visit hej aunt, Mrs. John Tucker. Losing her way she wandered about the city all day until taken to the police station last night She does not know what part of the city her parents live in and she does not know on what street her aunt resides in the East End. She will be kept at the station until called for. ASK TOTJB NEIGHBOR Why her rooms are tenanted, and the answer will be: "I advertise my rooms in the cent-a-word columns of THE DIS PATCH."

And Now Why Is It the Pittsburg People Go to Allegheny When They Want the Newest and Best Things inAVay of Music or Musical Instruments? It is a fact that of more than one thousand of those beautiful Everett pianos sold by Alex. Boss, of Allegheny, fully one-half are on the Pittsburg side of the river.
