' hundreds of thousands of applications
now pending for new‘ pensions or for

I he1c is almost entlre unanimity of ex-

the nation in obtaining and holding
official positions, and such compensa-

lieu of pension when a soldier receives
office or employment. '
The necessity of such a revision of
our pension laws; is clearly illustrated
in the Pension .Ofilce itself, where
there are a number who are drawing
large salaries presumably for services
rendered as subordinate officials, while
' they are drawing the highest pensions
for total disdbility. The fact that they
draw pensions for total disability, and
yet receive salaries as officials in the

that they are rendering" service as

It is a common complaint from our sol-
diers’ homes that the chief demofializa~
tion they have to contend against is
caused by the expenditure of pension
modey received-by inmates. There is
no just claim for 2‘ such pensions and
they should be abolished.
Another large class of pensioners who
should be stricken from the rolls are
well described by the North American,
in a leading article on the subject in
yesterday’s issue—that is pensioners
“whose service was only nominal at
most, and whose disabilities are in no
respect attributable to military ser-
vice.” There are scores of thousands
of this class on the pension list, as is
known in everycommunity, and in the
interest of the honest veterans.- who

support of- the nation, all -these un-

How Trousers Came to Mankind.
Tctricus the barbarian was the first
gentleman to wear trousers. He had
no heart in the inauguration of the
new fashion; he simply had to do it.
Aurelian, the Roman, had captured
Tetrlcus on one of his raids, and de-
termined to carry him in triumph‘to
Rome as one of the spoils of conquest.
To make the captive appear as rl'dl-
culous as possible he was arrayed lo a
two-part garment which in Boston
might have been called “pants.” In-
stead of appearing ridiculous, ’l‘etl‘i-.

garment he wore slowly but surely
