Peace or War.

The everchanging war clouds of the East,
which have shownsigns recently of parting and
breaking away, seem to be gathering blackness
again. Therumor that BISMARCK has abandoned
the field of mediation in despair of accomplish
ing any thing is denied and yet the clouds
grow darker and darker. Great Britain holds
position in the Sea Of Aarmora, and the Rus
slams are camped round about Constantinople.
Neither seems disposed to recede from the posi-
tions assumed. While these Powers confront
each other with such sternness of mien, Europe
has no guarantee of peace. The attitude sus-
tanned by them appears to be equally sullen and
The National tribune., 1878-04-01

great as to Justify such wholesale and reckless
denunciation is untrue.
And we desire again to call the Commissioner
to reckoning in another matter.
1t is his broad and ungenerous sur upon the
attorneys who represent these parties before his
dread tribunal
He knows that it is the interest of these at
torneys to present no case that is manufactured.
The doing SO is always risky, even if the at
torney himself has been imposed upon by some
correspondent.
The attorney, if he knows his business, is
compelled to examine his cases with as as rigid
scrutiny as the Commissioner himself His
proft--his fees-are at stake, all his expenses
Of clerk office hire, postages and printing
are thrown away if his case fails. Hence it is
a wise provision, to make his fee contingent ON
success, but absolutely secure if he does sue
ceed
And this is right to all parties, to the client,
the attorney, and the Government.
No, Mr.. Commissioners, it won't do, to rule
out claims in which you can find no flaws, be-
cause some other claim was once passed on
fraudulent testimony. Each one must stand
upon its own merits, each receive its own con
sideration, and it's own decision. Hunt down
all frauds and impositions done or attempted,
punish.to the very end Of the penal law, all
crimes committed. Use the whole enginery of
the multitudinous offices, all the weight of
prosecutions, all the solemn sanctions of the
law to punish perjury, but do not assume on
your own motion, and without the shadow of
evidence, the existence of perjury.
For when you do this, as one of our judicial
officers, you strike at the very foundation of all
Jurisprudence, which rests, and must rest, upon
belief in human testimony. Truthfulness must
be assumed as the rule, and perjury the exeep-
ton, or else all rights depending on human evi-
dence have no foundation on which to stand
The National tribune., 1878-04-01

Every wounded and disabled soldier, every
widow whose husband was killed in the army,
every dependent father or mother who is now
mourning for dear son killed while fighting
for his country, in fact, every claimant for
pension should know what our excellent Com
missioner of Pensions thinks of the testimony
now offered to establish such claims. Read the
following
Extract from letter 70 chairman Committee on Escad
Pensions, House Of Representatives.
DEPARTMENT THE INTERIOR, Pension OFFICE
WASHINGTON d. c., January gI, 1878
SIR:
The difficulty which is experienced by the persons
charged with the settlement of the claims which have ac
cumulated and those which being fled is that
they CANNOT THEMSELVES TO BELIEVE THE TEsTr.
OFFERED.
j. A. BENTLEY,
C0mmissl0nsr Of Pensions
The National tribune., 1878-04-01

He admits that he has lost all the judicial /
faculty he ever possessed He finds himself
disqualified for rendering a fair opinion upon
testimony, and he owns it up He rather prides
himself upon his incapacity to believe evidence
He thinks it feather in his official cap that he
believes all men, women and attorneys to be
periurers or suborners of perjury.
He contrasts his own massive and alpine in
tegrity, with the common herd of poor souls
outside of his sanctum. He is the guardian, in
his fancy, of treasury about to be raded by
all sorts of rascally combinations of fraud.
He has ears, but they hear not eyes hath he,
but they see not.
AS the disciples of Brahma arrive at the
highest state of purity by unhinching con
temptation of the point of their noses, or by
continued meditation on their abdominal re-
gions, SC he wraps himself in admiration of
himself, excludes all outer and common things,
evolves his inner consciousness becomes imper-
vious to testimony, closes all avenues to infor-
nation, and grayely informs a committee in
formal letter that he cannot be brought to be-
lieve facts which are laid before him on the
sworn evidence of witnesses, which are prob
able and natural in themselves uncontradicted
in any way, but which he stubbornly and un-
reasoningly refuses to accept.
But, dear Mr. Commissioner, you are gravely
mistaken in the purpose of your office and your
appointment-you are fearfully wrong in your
ideas of the law
The Commissioner of Pensions is not created
for his own glorifcation. He is not appointed
for the purpose only of saving money He is
put there for the sake of the disabled soldier his
widow and orphans. He is the agent of the
Government i'll the grand distribution of its
liberal charities. He is the almoner Of the
United States. 1t is the good of these wards
that he is to look at.
1t is the provision made by Law, that he is to
administer 1t is the evidence which the LAW
requires, that he is to receive and consider And
to own that he cannot judge upon such legal
evidence, is to own himself incapable of the
office which he holds. 1t is not Mr. Bentley 5
notions of what law and evidence should be,
that should control. 1t is an honest judicial
determination by sworn officer that is de-
manded
There is all through the atmosphere an in
consistent and unreasoning howl for what is
called economy. We are not of the pack that
fill that brawling chorus. We know that too
much sham economy is simply suicide.
We believe, and have always said that all
public officers should be well and properly paid.
We have said it, as to the organization of the
Pension Office itself
But if our friend, the Commissioner, is bitten
with the current madness, let him like sensi-
bic man and an unselfish man, recommend the
abolition of the whole system. The nation will
save S30,000,000 in cold cash, and lose nothing
but its honor, and what is honor to saving Z?
But while the system lasts, while we have
poor starving claimants yet at the doors of the
Pension Office, knocking with feeble hands,
crying with weak importantly, presenting their

The lecturing nuisance is fast assuming
such proportions as will demand the stern
est repressive measures. Almost every TEL
low who gets q little lift into notoriety by
the newspapers launches into the lecture
field. Those who can't write lecture buy
one, commit it to memory, and go around
the country mouthlng the same drivel for
two hundred successive nights. 1t may be
urged that if nobody went to hear them
they would soon retire from the field. That
is true; but somebody will go to hear them,
and they know it. A fool attracts fools,
and in many localities the idiotic population
is so numerous that q person can't look in
the glass without seeing fool. It is neees-
sary to the peace and good order Of society
that the perambulating lecture-fool should
stop stirring up the non-itinerant members
OF his countless tribe. They. make the
world uncomfortable for the minority, and
it is about time for the rights OF the OPP
pressed to be asserted and defended

extreme. We should have paper certificates
