THE PENSION LIST.
It won reported the other day that
the pension bill had reached Its maxi
mum and that hereafter It would be lr»
diminuendo. Hut the quarterly report
of the pension commissioner does not
justify the report. Ho »bowa that dur
ing the quarter ending Sopteinl^er 2»,
1904, there were on hand 295,M3 claim*
/or penHlone (tending. Since July I.
1900, a total of 6,490 new applications
were received and it la estimated that
an averaga of 700 new claims aro filed
each working day. The death rate, It
la said In the report. Is exceeded by the
new applications seven-fold, what the
commissioner callH "Iho disappearing
army" dying at the rate of 100 a day.
During last your thero were 31.72M
deaths of Vcnslonern of all classes, of
whom 30,071 were soldiers of the Civil
war. The commissioner says that
there are still from 150,000 to 180,000
soldiers of that war not on the {tension
rolls. These he refers to os tho "un
known army." He believes thut the
mortality thl« year will reach about
47.000.
Hut according to the ratio of appli
cations to deaths. It Is not apparent
, that the “high water mark" of the pen-
1 slon bill has yet been reached, either
' In point of the charge upon the treas
ury or in the numerical proportions of
the roll Itself. It will be many a yesir,
doubtless, before there shall be an ap
preciable reduction In the appropria
tions on the civil wnr account, and In
the meantime, should we have a suc
cession of war-lords to udtntnlstcr tne
government of the United Btutus, it
msy be doubled or trebled.

I say Watson Is the whole thing In Pop

their scarcity Is our loss.

HEALTH OF CUBA.
The biennial report of the chief san
itary officer for the Island of Cuba,
covering the years 1903 and 1903, Is
most interesting as rsveullng tho re
sults of the sanitary methods Insti
tuted by the surgeons of tbs Amarlcan
army In 1199, directly after the close of
the Bpenlsh-Amertcan war. A grati
fying feature of the report Is that It
demonstrates ths officials now
charge of the civic administration have
striven to carry out the policy then In
augurated. It is now claimed that
Cuba can be counted among the most
healthful spots on the globe, whereas,
a few years ago It was regarded as
pestilential and forbidding. Despite Its
natural riches foreigners were reluc
tant to Immigrate or to make Invest
ment But under the enforcement of
tho sanitary laws conditions have
changed—In fact, have been reversed.
The total mortality in the report
which is nearly comprehensive of the
entire Island was 31,799 during 1902,
and 27,487 In 1903, a decrease of 1,303
in a year. According to population the
death rate in ths Litter year was on»y
25.4 per 1,000, a rate that will compute
favorably with the most healthful dis
tricts of the United States.
The Important phase of the report
is that not a single case of yellow fever
l».ia developed on the island during
the last three years, and when
have been Introduced from other
countries there has been no spread,
each having been promptly isolated.
There Is, however, a singular feature
of ths report—the number of deaths
from tetanus In new-born babes. This
accounts for ft per cent, of the total
mortality. To the remedy for this con
dition the attention of the medical au
thorities la now directed and coercive
measures may be applied.
THE GREATEST NEGRO CENTER.

that there la a eery alight dlfTarence

Memphis Is the seat. Baltimore, the
largest of the Southern cities with a
population of 608.017 contained 71.289
negroes, while Washington contained
J 4.702. New Orleans contained 77,714.

If one were surprised at the Augusta

there ate other newspapers in this
