We are glad to learn, however, on the authority of Represen? tative Ray, of New York, that the mere offering of this s cation will lead to the framing of a separate bill by the Committee oo Invalid Pensions de signed to remedy at least two offensive and expensive abases of the pension roll Under the present law it is possible for the widow of a veteran who bas married again to procore a pension, even (bough she now is supported by a second husband She may nerer have applied for a pension during her widow? hood, but at the instigation of her new husband she may DOW legally colleot from the government as back pay the sum that she might have received One instance of this nature is cited which cost the government ?3 800-a pleasant plum for the second husband lt has been stated 'hat pensions of this class, paid ta former widows, are now costing the Treasury ?10.000 a day. Again, it is now possible for a minor child of a deceased soldier, who never applied for a pension during the term of his minority, to file a claim for the money that he would have received from the government up to the age of 16 Such an applicant may be 40 years old to day. and yet when some one of the 80.000 pension attorneys io the country discovers that be was en? titled to a pension twenty-five years ago, beean file a claim at thc Pension Bureau that mast be allowed ander the law These are two defects in the pension Bystero that are grotesquely absurd, and that tend to discredit the rolls that should be kept lustrous with honor Aoother abuse is the business of young women marrying old veterans, on the verge of the grave, in order to acquire widow's penniooB on the decease of their husbands. The correction of these three wrongs will surely not be opposed by any organization of veterans it will not only save the government mil lions of dollars, but it will aid to keep creditable that pcroll of patriotic names which a grateful Nation delights to honor.-N Y. Mail and Express * Rumor That Geo. D. Tillman ?Will Run. Siooe the publication of tbe rumor that er Congressman George D Till? man bad decided to become a candidate for governor against Governor E'.Ierbe in the next primary, there has been considerable talk and reuoh sp?culation as to the truth of the statement. From all that oan be beard it may be said that it looks very much as if "Uncle" George will make the race and ran on an anti-dispensary platform if the dis? pensary system survives the storm until that time. If Mr. McGowan goes in it will be a three-cornered race in the light of all information obtain able a year in advanoe. Governor EU lerbe has announced bis candidacy for re-election. Yesterday a representative of The State saw Gol. James H. Tillman, who is here attending the supreme court in his capaoity as a member of the Edgefield bar, and asked him about the rumor as to his father's candidacy. He said : "I am unwilling to make any announcement as to my father's intent in politics, as he always does bis own talking in his own way Bod in bis own time, but to be candid I tell you frank? ly I am unable to say just what he will do. I do know that he is very unwill? ing ever to enter politics again Bot he is daily receiving letters from all over the State beseeching him to make the race for governor. T oannot tell you what his decision will be, but there is this much certain, Governor Ellerbe will have to cope with a determined op? position " Wheo the general belief that his father was too far advanced in years to make the race, was called to Col. Till? man's attention, he smilingly remark* ed: "My.father bas a constitution of iron, and though 70 years old, bis mind is as olear as it ever was and be enjoys better health than I do myself." He could give no further informa? tion on the subject, but bis manner in? dicated that his father would be in the race.-The State. A CONVENTION.
