thanked those present for the honor

principal address was delivered by Professor

he voiced France, and was the first to pro-

they concerned no one but myself, as / am salts

good opinion is worth having does not attach
the slightest Importance to stories containing
a grain of truth to a ton of falsehood, and in

THE PENSION LIST,
Commissioner Dudley's Views and Works
What Can Be Done.

0. o. S. in Courier-Journal
The dispatches being sent from here in re-
gard to Colonel Dudley and pension frauds
doubtless do an injustice to that gentleman.
While all will admit that reform is neces-
sary in the pension rolls of the government,
yet my information is that Colonel Dudley is
making an eff cient Commissioner. of Pen
sions. Colonel Dudley has but little to do with
the preparation of the pension rolls, as they
are prepared by the heads of divisions. Your
correspondent does not train with Colonel
Dudley, but at the same time he does not favor
abuse of any man when it is
not deserved. This pension bust
ness is a big thing, and if something is not
done by the government o to check
the immense outlay of public funds, the
pubcic debt will be increased, even if the
present war duties are continued. 1t is
amazing to go through the Pension Office
petitions for pensions stacked house high.
That many petitions are fraudulent is a no.
torious fact, and chat many get through is
equally well known. Dudley, however, has
nothing to do with these frauds In this
pension business he has no option whatever.
He is a subordinate to the Secretary of the
interior. He examines applications, and de-
cides upon them by the evidence adduced
he can do nothing more; but Congress can
do much to stop fraudulent pensions from
being issued, and even if Congress should fail
in this regard, Secretary Teller, of the In
torior, can, to a great extent, restrain
the voracious workings of the leeeh, which
is sucking the life's blood Of the pbblic treas
ury.

ELKHART, Jan 6.-Since the late election a
complicated case has arisen as to who is
legally commissions in this county. Two
years ago, ?. ]. Parmater was elected on the
Republican ticket to fill a vacancy, and he
claims that election makes him commits
sioner for three years. This fall, John A.
Smith, Democrat, was elected, and makes
demand for immediate possession of the
office. Now, in turn, the friends Of Par
mater come forward and claim that Smith
was not legally elected, but that W. S. Halle
ton, who was his opponent, on the Repub-
lican ticket, was, contesting the election of
Smith on the ground that the Democratic
ballots were not legal, being printed with a
distinguishing mark. The Democratic clerk
and auditor, who were elected by but a small
majority, are on the anxious seat lest this
trouble, caused by Smith in his desire to
take possession of his office one year in ad-
vance of what he himself supposed he
would, may raise complications which will
throw them out and give their offices to their
Republican competitors. The matter is
causing a great deal of feeling, and the out
come is anxiously looked for.
