The Interior Secretary reports the pension roll crossed one million during the year ending June 30. It opened at 1,041,687, fell to 999,446, and officials expect the end of the current year to exceed 1,000,000. Sixty years after the Revolution eight widows and daughters still draw pensions, with 1318 survivors from the War of 1812 and 14,485 from the Mexican War continuing. The system has cost about three billion dollars, with Spain’s war adding 3.3 million so far and more to come. One in 21 Americans now receives a pension, and the total exceeds the army budgets of two European nations.
