In reply to enquiries whether there j, amy
real necessity for employing pension attorneys
and for brief statement of the methods used
bv dishonest attorneys to sWind!e soldiers.
Commissioner Dudley has written Il letter in
which he states that the law provides that the
| Commissioner of Pensions, on application be-
ing made to him in person or by letter by any
claimant or applicant for pension, bounty land
or other allowance required by law to be adj
| iusted or paid by the Pension Office, shall fur
nSh to such person, free of all expense, all such
printed instructions and forms may be nee
eSSary in establishing and obtaining said claim.
The receipt of claim is acknowledged and it
is filed to be taken up in its order when, if the
evidence is sufficient it is settled, but if not the
claimant is called upon for the particular kind
of evidence required. AS to employing an at
| torney the Commissioner says:
will only add that the services of an agent
| are most useful to the claimant when he deVoteS
| himself to the preparation of the required evi-
| dence immediately upon the filing OF the claim
| or before. An agent well posted in the law
and the rrqurel lcnts Of this office can thus am
| ticipac the calls of the office and greatly short
| en- the time consumed in the adjudication of
! the claim as well as save the office much labor.
AS TO the absolute necessity OF lnt intervention
of an agent each must Judge for himself.
| In reply to the question concerning the swim
ding of claimants, the Commissioner says
| The principal violations consist in the colcc
| ton. under some guiSe or upon some pretCXt or
| another, of more than the fee allowed by law;
| the enforced collection of so-called expense fees
| or postage claims in advance by addressing the
calls to this office for medical examinations or
other evidence by c. 0. u. packages; the col
| lection of fees in advance and abandonment Of
| claim as soon as fee is rece1ved advertisements
| holding out inducements not warranted by law.
| by which honest soldiers are led to prefer base
| less claims the only advantage in such cases
| being that which accrued to the agent, who gets
a fee.

In Texas there are so many apples that two

LIQUOR DEALERS IN COUNCIL.
We have it from good authority that promin-
ent liquor dealers in this city and Camden met
at the room of l.. NJ. Staples in the hotel in
this city, and arranged plans to defeat the
prosecutions which have been begun at this
court. Counsel is engaged, and it is alleged
that certain persons have been engaged to look
after the jury and do other work to defeat con-
VictiOn. These men are hard pushed. They
find themselves looking into the prison doors,
and will resort to any means to defeat Justice
Iney DO not regard the Name Law a failure"
Just now. They probably are aided bv the
Boston liquor dealers Association, but we
hope Maine integrity will prove too strong for
Maine and Massachusetts cupidity combined.
Rockland Free Press.
THE MAINE LAW.
Neal Dow correcting some published errors,
writes as follows: The Maine law makes no
provision, as he says it does, for the sale of in
toXlcatlng liquors for the Lords table. The
anxiety as to the probable result of popular
vote on constitutional prohibition is quite un-
called for. We who are deeply interested have
no fears Oh that score. In 1898 we had vote
on prohibition. In Portland it was 81 to 2 and
ID over. In Lewiston and Auburn unanimous.
and in twenty principal places. excluding Ban
gor, the vote was % to l and IA over. In the
whole State an overwhelming majority against
grog shops, which are now even more under the
ban of popular opinion. Wherever the law has
been properly executed the fines and costs paid
by rumsellers far exceed the costs to the public.

With the Republicans the support of the bill is
deatll-bed repentance. Public interest requires
a change, except in the case of mertorouS sol,
diers, who should not be removed.
Il am opposed to the bill in every feature
1t does not accomplish what it pretends to. II

These are representative men of the party
which is to reform the civil service and the
country generally-f they can have the oppor-
tunity. They are certainly entitled to credit
for so plainly expressing their true sentiments
but what a disappointment their uterances
must prove to those who fanced they saw in
the Democratic party the spirit of reform, and
SO contributed to its successes this year. Even
Senator Pendleton, the reputed father of the
civil service reform bill. fails to stand the test
when his utterances are closely scanned. In q
speech delivered in the Senate on the 18th inst
he assured his Democratic friends that the bill
would not apply to more than thirty offices out
side the Washington Departments that it af.
fected none of the important patronage, such as
offices appointed by the President with advice
of the Senate; and as most important of all he
impressed upon their attention the fact that il
carefully and absolutely abstains from nterfer-
ing in the slightest degree with the power of q
Democratic President, if one should be elected
to ren.ote at ,eU every office-holder in the civil
service. And he added this further assurance
1t has been said that the abandonment of the
spoils system will exclude Democrats from of
flee when the day of our victory shall come.
do not think it. On the contrary, | believe that
the adoption of this policy as our party creed
will hasten the day of the victory of our party,
and its adoption as a law will, under any adj
ministration, fill many offices with Democrats
] think it will disarm and disorganize
and neutraliZe the trained band of ofiice-hOIders
who have wrested from us, as | have said, at
least two Presidential elections.
Thus it will be seen that Senator Pendleton
and the Democratic Senators who oppose his
bill have the same end in view, and only differ
as to the means of attaining it. That end is not
reform in the civil service, but possession OF
the offices, as their own declarations testify.

attention. Last year SO, 600 was invested in
new buildings, and the city increased by some
$1,000 in population. This year $S,OOO,00O has

TO-DAYS EXCURSIONS.
National Rifles, Bank Clerks, and the De-
partmentaI Dozen.

Lower Cedar Point has certainly become the
Coney Island of the Potomac and those who have
visited this popular resort loud in their praises
of its management. The officers of the Jane
Moseey are courteous and attentive The sail
down the river is delightful, ana there are four
hours of enjoyment at the Point in grabbing, fish
ing, and bathing The dinner at the Point is all
that could be desired and Messrs. Bowers and
Hickey have certainly proved their ability to
seaside hotel, and have reason 10 be gratiied at
the success OF their venture. To-day special ex-
cursion in honor of the National Rifles will be
given and our relocated gentry will be present
in full force.
The annual picnic and excursion OF the bank
clerks takes place to- day. They take the steam.
boat Corcoran ut o'clock. Enjoy one of those
COOL breezy sails down the river to Marshall Hall.
| and there, to the inspiring music of Schroeder's
waltz until the Corcorans whistle reminds that
time flies. These pleasure parties of the bank
clerks are eagerly looked forward to by many of
the leading bellies of the city, MS they are always
| managed with such tact and care that happy
time is certain. If any fail to obtain the tickets
| before hand we learn that they can be procured
| at the boat.
| Anacostia Lodge No. 81 F. and A. NJ, will give
| all excursion to Lower Cedar Point tomorrow.
| The Jane Moseley will be the steamer, and of
course everything will be done for the comfort OF
the cxCursionists while the pleasures of the Point
in grabbing, fishing, and bathing are well known.
The Departmental Dozen will give another OF
their popular excursions to- morrow evening. The
Mary Washington will leave her wharf at $50
p. M, and return promptly at 11:30.

At special meeting of the Analostan Club Sat-
urday night, committee, consisting of Messrs.
Corson, McKenuey, Pairo, and Marshall, was ap-
pointed to confer with similar committees of the
Columbia and Potomac Clubs in regard to the
proposed four-oared shell race on the Potomac
between crews representing the three clubs. Mr..
BoteIers proposition, to furnish medals and a
prize banner TO the winning crew. was considered
with much favor, and the Analostans will put a
strong four into the contest.
At the regatta to be held at Lynchburg on the
18th of August this city will be represented by a
four-o cared crew from the Columbus, aud Morgan
and Cropiey of the Potomacs i'll singles.
The idea of getting up a junior race has met
with quite general response from the three clubs,
and It would only take little diplomacy to weave
the idea into fixed fact. 1t would be just the
thing to arrange the for q set of colors just
before the race for the Boteer Prize" the two
contests would excite good deal of interest be-
tween the different clubs.

In the absence of DR.. Baer from the city the Rev.

pied the pulpit of the Metropolitan NJ, E, Church.
DR.. Merrill took his text from Job xxxii., S-"But
there is spirit in man and the inspiration of the
Almighty giveth them understanding" The
reverend gentleman dwet on the spirit in man,
linking Of the divine with the human spirit and
the blessed effect of 1t. AS an illustration of the
the spirit. Then there was the Apostle John be.
fore he went TO the island OF Patmos, and the con-
trast he showed on the Lords day after being
blessed with the divine grace. He touched on
the grand effect Of the indwelling spirit of God
in the living man, AMI that he should live In ac-
extremely eloquent and able one, and was lis.
tened to with marked attention by the large con-
