SMOKE OUT TIE THIEVES.

Fraudulent Pensioners In Lancaster Coun ty.
Philadelphia Times.
Colonel Hayes Grier, of the Columbia
Herald, who is we'll informed whereof he
writes, states that the present annual pay
mont to pensioners in Lancaster county is
$1O9, liz but that the newly awarded
pensions will increase the annual payment
in that county to $20O, 900. lie adds that
Z" in the great majority of cases, the
money is properly distributed" but that
" there are some drawing pensions who
are no better than thieves
It is we'll known that the cause of the
honest soldiers of the war has lately been
cl0uded by the most shameless frauds
upon the pension department, and equally
shameless theft of the public money, by
army bummers who did not dare to apply
for pensions until half a generation after
the war, when their records are largely
forgotten. This theft now amounts to
millions, if not tons of millions, annually,
and it is a reproach to the honest soldier
and mOnstrOus fraud upon the nation.
There is ono effective remedy for this
evil. and that is the publication of the
official list of pensioners. If published by
the government, classified by states and
counties, every local newspaper would
gladly give publicity to the list of local
pensioners and the thieves would be
promptly impaled. To assume that there
can be any delicacy of feeling among
honest soldiers who are pensioners, about
the publication of tho pension list, is to
assume that our gallant warriors who have
suffered wounds and bear scars received
in the battles for the preservation of free
government are ashamed OF their course.
On the contrary, every heroic warrior Of
the republic will esteem it an honor to be
enrolled on the list of the nations pen
sioners and every thief will shrink f:om
such publicity.
1t is due alike to the government and to
the honest soldier that the official pension
list be mado public, and Congress can
save millions annually and bring many
thieves to justice by providing for its pull
licatiOn.

They WANT rnsikPay

Gutteaus COuasel Asking Congress. In Paw
Them for Their services
All that remains yet to bs attended to
of the great national tragedy, tho last act
Of which was Guiteau ON the gallOws, is
the adjustment and payment Of the nu.
merous claims growing out Of the pro-
tracted suffering Of the late President
Garfield, and the long and wearisOme trial
Of the assassin. The bills Of doctors and
other attendants have already been cOn-
sidered at great length in Congress. Now
come the claims Of the counsel for the de-
fendant and the jurors for increased per
diem. Among thesc claims il the bill Of
Charles Reed, who Sd zealously defended
the prisoner to the last, amounting to
s., 600. This bill is presented in tho shape
Of an amendment offered in the Senate to
the sundry appropriation bill and 10 all
probability will iail to pass. ;.
Now appears ScOville for his pay. His
claim, however. is in an embryotic state
and takes the form Of u long petition to
Congress, which was presented to the
House by George Il. Davis, in which
ScOville recommends tho passage Of law
to the effect that the department Of JUS
tice shall also audit and pay claims 10
legal services for counsel for the defense
in like manner as is authorized by law tn
be paid special counsel for the government
Scoville says that all the circumstances
in the case warrant the proposed action
anu then proceeds to enumerate tho cir
cumstances upon which he bases his
claim. Accompanying the petition is
long letter signed by many eminent judges
Of Illinois justifying and recommending
such legislation. This letter and petition
have already been published, but for the
first time to day have been made official
documents. 1t is barely possible that
nothing will come OF the proposed action,
at least during the present session.

THE PURITY OF LAGER BEER.
Why tho Analysis Of tho Business Mems s.
cioty Has Not Been Made Public.

WHY the Analysis Oh tho business mons DO
ciety Has Not Been Msdo Public.
Mr.. H. II. Hadley, secretary of the
Business Mems Moderation society, under
whose auspices an analysis of lager beer
was made recently, when asked why that
analysis was not made public said that it
was because there were brewers in the
Brewers association who would be hurt
by it and so the association refused to
sanction the publication. Tho eighteen
brewers whose beer has been analyZed
each paid 500 towards the analysis. ''We
hold . key to all this analytical work, said
he, "and are ready to give it to the pull
lie if we can obtain the consent of the
brewers to our doing SO, and would any
way, if We could afford to give back to the
brewers the money they have paid for the
analysis. Unfortunately, our treasury is
not in such q condition as will permit us
to do that. If any citizen has . desire to
see made public tho analysis of the beer
made by either of those eighteen brewers
named and will send us 500, which will
enable us to refund to the brewer specified
by him the sum he has paid for tho analy.
sis, we will give back the brewers money,
got his receipt for it and Immediately pub
lish the desired analysis"
"Do you believe there are individuals
who have 500 worth Of curiosity Of that
kind"
"Beyond doubt. There is no question
in my mind about the publication of our
intention to do this bringing us instant
responses. We have had prepared some
acknowledgements copies of the analy-
sis, with our certificate attached, which we
will furnish to the brewers at cost for
them to supply to their customers. Four
Philadelphia brewing firms, that arc not
bound by the New York associations
rules, have had the analysis of their beer
made, have ordered large quantities Of
those certificates, and by Saturday next,
Goth instant, those pretty Autographs will
bloom out all over Philadelphia"
"Can our brewers stand long tho dam
aging distinction of being afraid to put
forth such authoritative statements con-
corning their beer when the brewers of a
neighboring city gladly avail themselves
of the opportunity to do so?''
81 think not" said Mr.. Hadley.

Tho President said to Object to Many Of Its
Features.
N. Y. Sun.
The president has received the river and
harbor bill. lie, however, did not need it
rs he has made such careful study Of the
items in it that he has almost mem OriZed
the whole of them. The bill will 60 back
without his signature. lie may not veto
it, but he will veto it unless Congress save
it by legislation which he will recommend.
There are 80 many appropriations
in tho bill which the president regards as
just and proper that ho hestates about
killing the bill yet. rather than permit
the bill to become \ law in its present
shape ho will veto it. Tho president is
considering the policy Of submitting to
Congress q message recommending that q
resolution be passed making hOr-
izOntal reduction Of 80 per cent.
iil every appropriation in the bill.
IL this were done it would cut the
amount appropriated to between nine and
ten millions, Of which about six millions
would 90 to tho rivers and harb0rs, the
balance being the Mississippi, thePOtOmac
flats, and some other special apprOpria-
tiOns. The president, however, has not
yet made up his mind that such method
would be the best one to accomplish his
object of saving the bill for the necessary
items in it and yet cutting ut tho indefen-
sible ones.
Were it not 81 late in the session that \
veto would kill tho whole bill General Ar
thur would send it back to the House with

OF the nature Of these objections, lie says
to senators and others that, after q care.

never contemplated by the constitution
that the federal government should CON

streams of tho country. He regretted
that his opposition to the improper and
unconstitutional appropriations should

dragoOned into signing a bill that had so
many Objectionable features as this, sim
ply because there were some very good
items in it. 1t was his desire, however, il

AMUSING SURF SCENES.
How Young Women Take Sea Hath.

How Young Women Tmko y Sea Hath.
Seaside Letter.
Four young women of the grizetto order
have amused me in their way of bathing.
They dcnncd their bathing suits, and
stepped, holding hands, into the water.
They had scarcely touched it when they
laughed and screamed nervously, after the
true feminine manner; and when they
were little moro than ankle deep they
fairly shrieked, jumped up. rs if the
breakers were going over their heads, then
sat down, jumped up again. and ran,
laughing, along the shore. Once more
they repeated the performance without
much variation, and in ten minutes with
drew to put on their proper attire. Not q
particle of spray had, am sure, reached
their knees but they considered it q bath,
and were satisfied that they had discbarg-
ed their duty to the Atlantic ocean. They
made more noise and drew more attention
thereby, in proportion to their amount of
wetting, than the majority Of women who
attempt bathing in tho sea.
Unless women have man to take
charge of them under such circumstances,
they seldom get immersed they merely
flirt with the blllOws, and their flirtat ion
is so very prudent that there is not the
slightest peril in it. They arc apt to think
they are reckless. When the water reaches
their calves, they imagine it has risen to
their necks, and that they have actually
had narrow escape. have often heard
them recount the mortal peril they have
been in from the ocean, when, presume,
they had not been up to their waists
They had no thought of r0mancing,
either they were perfectly sincere in
their assertions. Imagination and sensi-
bility are 30 much part OF their nature,
and hyperbole is so strong in them. that
deal of their recited experience is born Of
their fancy. Nevertheless, when it comes
to severe trial, to a test Of moral courage
and high fortitude, they often put their

previously marked out their course for

The Independent organization will lose
