PENDLETON's PRETENSE.
The Sham Reformer Unmasked.

Washington Cor. Chicago News.
PendIeten's civil servive bill will oc-
cupy the senate's attention to the exclu-
sion of all other leading topics until the
measure is disposed of. The whole sub
ject as far as Gentleman Georges advo-
caey of it is stupendous bit of sham,
and even effrontery Pendleton, who
pushes this measure while locking with
strained eyes in the direction OF the
white house, is fine civil service re-
former, judging from the few specimens
he has given of his personal manage
ment. In the senate he has now a striker
employ ed as clerk of a committee. The
clerk receives AS pay the regular com
mittee clerk salary of So day during
the session. When the session closed
last summer Pendleton went TO his
democratic friend Bright, the sergeant
alarms of the senate, and had him dis
charge a good clerk and carry this
striker during the summer, until his
committee pay could begin again. That
one act gives the lie to the whole course
of PendletOn's hypOcritical talk in the
senate, and his record shows that he
needs some civil service reform in pri-
vate life. A high authority in Cincin-
natl SAYS PendletOn has confessed enough
in his management in the trgsteeship of
the great Bowler estate to make his
talk about reform of any kind brasSy
humbug. The wife of "A nephew of Pen
dleton, one of the Bowler heirs, came
home from Europe last year. and de-
manded the payment of her share Of the
estate. Her young husband had died
abroad. She was met by the assertion
that the estate had been settled and that
her husband had long ago received his
portion. The young widow knew that
her husband had an ample income while
Living, but she had never seen any signs
of his having the wealth. She believed
him the owner of or one of the heirs to
a great estate. Being rather energetic,
and of very independent disposition,
she ignored all efforts to suppress do
mestic scandal, and invited Mr.. Pendle
ton to go into court and produce his
vouchers showing his alleged settlement.
Mr.. Pendleton declined to go, and paid
the widow 100000 as compromise for
her claim and so the estate, so far as
one heir was concerned, was settled.

IN THE CHRONICLE of October %. We

requesting its publication as news

intended to injure the company, but at

evidence that the item was a fabrication
intended to alarm the farmers and pre-

to sacrifice portion of their insurance
by having their policies cancelled, to in
