"TURN THE RASCAL OUT"
Loud Call for an Investigation of the 0sly
OIL Inspector.
minneapolis Journal, Dec. z6.l

Oil Inspector.
minneapolis Journal, Dec. &c.
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE OIL INSPECTOR.
The St. Paul GLOBE this morning pub
fishes the following extract from private
note from an old and prominent merchant
in the state:
Very shortly after the change was made in
our state inspector of OILS we began to hear COM
plants about poor oils, and these complaints
were too well founded The oil we had been
using, called water White would give no light:
in fact the lamp weuld go out, SO we had TO
abandon its use ard bought what is known as
Headlight. and find thet this is very little bet
| ter. Now there is something wrong. During
the time that Hoffman was inspector there
was no trouble. We always got what we bought
Tins thing IS general-so the travelling men tell
me-and the complaint is all over the state.
The "head Light of to-day is no better than
the Wisconsin test of ITO, and "Water Whit
ID almost useless. We cannot sell it at all .
There Is ''nigger i'll the wood pile.''
The GLOBE suggests that Gov. Hubbard
| Investigate the oil inspector and see how
much he is paid to pass worthless oils. It
adds: "It Is generally understood that the
fees of the oil inspector aggregate $12,-
600. If, in addition to this, he can make
| twice as much by accepting brides he will
be approximating the salary CT the presi-
dent"
1t is we'll known that the appointment of
the present oil inspector, 81. A. Castle, of
the st. Paul Dispatch, was made by Gov.
Hubbard not because Of any fitness, but IS
sheer reward for personal and parsizsn
Sc ice. It was probably not expected that
occupant of the Office would give any
attention to its duties, but that he would
farm it out and pocket enormous profits.
1t was the unp7pulari.y of this appoint
ment as much as anything else, that made
the best republicans so lukewarm in their
support of Gov. Hubbard in the late cleo
ton. But aside from any personal con-
sideration, the matter of oil inspection is
an most important one. Upon the honest
and efficient performance of this duty
depends the safety of life and property.
Kerosene oil is IL universal use. The COVER
nor owes it as solemn duty to the public
at large to investigate these complaints.

PENSION SWINDLING.
Discovery of Another scheme 10 Defraud
Veterans.

Discovery of Another Scheme 10 Defraud
Veterans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Still another scheme
of the swindling pension attorneys to steal
money from the pockets of old soldiers was
discovered to-day in the Pension Office. A
complaint was received from veteran that he
had paid $5 to certain attorney to secure for
him Communication allowance of $50 or S75 to
which the attorney had assured him he was
entitled and that after parting with his money
he heard no more from the attorney. Each
soldier who lost limb while fighting for the
Union received from the government every
five years an artificial limb, or, if he is already
provided with one, or wishes to buy one him
self he is allowed Communication of from 500
to $75 The attorney complained of to-day
has been addressing circulars to pensioners Eot
of this class. Offering to collect their commu
tation for So. The fraud in this,case consisted
in the fact that the attorney knew perfectly
we'll that the men he addressed were not en-
titled to any Communication but many, not be-
ing posted or not wishing to raise question of
doubt where there might be chance OF get
ting $50 for IS, quietly forwarded the fee de-
manded and trusted to the ingenuity or
superior knowledge of the attorney tc get the
claim through. OF course, when the fee was
paid that ended the matter. The result of the
extensive system of advertising and drum
ming by attorneys through deceptive circulars
since the recent publication of the list of pen
sioners, is seen in the number of applications
for increase now being fled. Over 5000 have
been received already, and the volume is in.
creasing daily. At the rate they are coming
in, Commissioner Dudley estimates that there
will be over $4,000 claims fled during the
coming year. The increased work which this
shower of applications for increase of pensions
entails upon the bureau will prevent the pro-
posed reduction of force, thought to be possible
when, short time ago the cases already filed
were nearly caught up with.

WHERE s15, 900 WENT:
A Branch of the Soldiers Home Claim
10 Have Paid il to Gen. ButIer-He De-
mics Having Received. 1t.


WASHINGTON, Nov 23-The Accounting
Officers of the Treasury Department, who
have charge of some of the accounts of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, had not heard of the
suit recently brought against General Butler
for the recovery of $4,000 and interest until
their attention was called to the matter. This
morning one of them stated that the suit does
not come under the jurisdiction of the Treas
ury Department, as the law creating the Sol
diers' Home incorporated the institution and
conferred the power OF bringing suit upon its
officers. The accounting officers of the Treas
ury audit only the accounts between the Gov
ernment and the Soldiers Home itself, and
have no authority to interfere as to the dis
posal OF those funds, neither does the Govern
ment audit the items OF expenditure between
the various branches and the main body. The
present suit arises out of the fact that one OF
these branches claims to have paid back to the
main office while General Butler was treas
urer $15 900 for which no credit appears on the
treasurer's books. The question at issue is
whether Gen. Butler, when connected with
the board, received thatsum. Ii he did il has
never been accounted for. Ii he did not then
the branch is still liable to the main body for
the amount. Treasury officials say that Gen.
Butler denies that he ever received this sum.
The suit is brought to test the question OF re-
Bponsibility.
The following are the managers of the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers:
The President of the United States, the Chief
Justice, the Secretary of War. The executive
officers are: General William B. Franklin,
President, Hartford, Conn.,; Colonel Leonard
A. Harris, First Vice President, Cincinnati; (;
General John A. Martin, Second Vice Presi-
dent, Atchison, Kansas; Gen. Martin I. Nc
hon, Secretary. 90 Nashua street. New York;
Major David Fulton OF Hudson, Wis, Gen.
George B. Mcclellan of Orange, N. j., Gen.
John M. Palmer of Springfield, I'LL, Gen.
Charles W. Roberts of Bangor, Me-, Gen.
James S. Negley of Plttsburg, Penn. These
gentlemen have absolute control of the Ma
tional Soldiers Homes, and are not even re-
quired to submit detailed vouchers for their
expenditures to any accounting officer. 1t is
doubtless under their authority that the suit
against Gen Butler has been brought.

The New Standard of Time Case.
BOSTON, Nov. 23.-Edward j. jenkins, a
Commissioner in Insolvency, appeared before
Judge Holmes in the Supreme Court to dky to
answer to an order of notice to show cause
why writ of prohibition should not issue to
prevent his proceeding against debtor who
was dsfaulted because he appeared before the
magistrate at an hour later than that named
in the notice summoning him for examination.
The order required the debtor to appear not
later than 10 q. m. on the day specified and
he arrived at the Commissioners Office al. 8 45
a. m. by the new standard of time, but the
Commissioner held that the debtor was bound
to appear by the old time and SO defanlted
him. The debtor was represented to-day by
e. B. Calender, and the creditor by s. W.
Hatheway. The latter contended that, as the
order citing the debtor for examination had
been issued bofore the new standard of time
was adopted, the debtor was obliged to recog-
nize the old standard, and the magistrate
could not do otherwise than default him for
falling to so appear Judge Holmes intimated
that he should decide in favor of the debtor,
but concluded to further consider the questi on
whether the new standard, by its universal
adoption, did not instantly become usage or
custom just as much as though it had been In
force for years.
