Of one, to show the feeling
developed: "Th.s organization is non.

The New York Herald is out in an
editorial in its issue of the 22nd inst.
urging the people of New York to be
vaccinsted at once and thus avoid an
epidemic which seems imminent In a
portion of its article 1t says: Delay of
this precautIon Is doubtless In many
cases due to the fear that the vaccine
may be Impure. 1t is very senseless to
ridicule such fear, as 1t is unquestiona-
BILE that evil can arise from the improper
use of vaccine. But, with all respect
for the prudence or timidity of those
who decline vaccination. il must be said
that they run greater risks by taking the
ground they do than than they would
encounter by applying to responsible
physician and allowing him to vaccinate
them with what he pronounces healthy
matter. Unless this is generally done

PRE1TOTTNG T0PN1nOEs

It is pleasure to know that the gov
eminent is still working on the theory
that the approach of tornedoes may be
accurately predicted. The efforts to do
this are as yet IN their infancy. In al
luding TO the progress thus far made in
that direction the Cincinnati Gazette
Gays: ain 1882 Prot. T. B. Msury assert
ed that the prediction of tornado was
triumph yet to be obtained by the
science of meteorology, and in less than
two years Lieutenant Finley, of the sig
nal service, verified the prophecy. It is
now asserted that Of 1928 predictions
unfavorable to tornadoes In 1884, S,2O1
were verified; Of thirty-eight predictions
that tornadOes would, made in April and
June. 1904, eighteen were verified; and
of nineteen predictions that tornadoes
would occur in June and July, 1885, If
teen were generally verified. When tor
nadoes were predicted, in no instance
did violent storms fail to occur, either
hurricanes, tornsdoes or nail. It is hoped
that congress will see the propriety Of
establishing a system of signals in the
states of Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri,
Iowa. Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Geor.
gia and North Carolina. especially dur.
ing the months Of April, May. June,
July, August and September.

POLITICS AND THE PENSION
OFFICE.

Republican journals are just now
making statements IN relation to the
pension efice, that were quite freely
made just prior TO the presidential cleo
ton one year ago by Democratic journals
to:wIt: That the power controlling the
pension Office was permitting SIS suDor-
.dinate 70 use their Official positions to
influence votes, and endeavoring by
threats Of retarding pension allowances
70 old soldiers to compel the soldiers to
vote under their dictsuon. Such state
ments are made IN utter ignorance of
the pensions laws and the rules and reRu-
lations upon which the pension Office is
conducted, and We are surprised TO hear
paper like the Cincinnati Commercial.
Gazette, discourse as follows:
Tho Democrats in New York are be.
coming as desperate as the CoaI-oil Gang
In Ohio. In Seneca FalIs they are
threatening old soldiers that they will
deprive them Of their pensions unless
they vote for Governor Hill. Indeed, In
two paEticulaTiZe0 cases Il has been
found out that complaint has been made
against two Republican pensioners, and
the Pension department has conpiacenf
ly ordered their cases TO be reexamfned.
II Democrats persist In that form OF
bulldoZfnR they will lose more votes
than they viii make by it.''
The above is the variest bosh
possible to imagine. General John G.
Black, now Commissioners Of pensions. L.
himself veteran Of the war, and to this
day carries the evidence of confederate
bullets in his body In many places; and
tie soldier, white or black, democrat OF
republican, who does not not receive ruiI
and ample justice under his admins.
tEatfon IL not entitled TO any. Every
employee Of the pension office knows
that the use Of his official position 70 in
nuence politics In the slightest degree
would cost him his place the moment
the Information reached General Black.
Hence statements like the above are
false in every paFticu1ag. There has
never been time in the history Of the
pension Office when il was e free from
politics - now. There has never been Q
time when the business has been con.
duc1sd 80 strictly upon business princi-
pies e e present, and never . time when
thei cases were 20 rapidly taken up, 50
closely scrutiaized and jet SO speedily
completed e they are now. The pen
sion ONCE employees are permitted 70
vote like other citizens, but under the
rule established By General Black this
must include their entire connection
with politics. ase It dos. fog they know
thei when he gives N order it Is expsdi-
ent 70 cbsy II. and that disobedience TO
orders is not oEerlooked.

4 Peculiar Case.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. % Last
week a letter received at the pension
Office from Connecticut woman, inclos-
ing an appeal for widows pension. and
in the regular order OF business it went
10 the files of the recording cleEk, who
glanced over the list and noticed that .
man OF the same name given by the
widow was drawing pension, which
had been granted him in 1878, and was
being paid through the California
agency. It required only few moments
search TO discover that the
records in the two cases were
identical. The widow offered no proof
of the death of her husband, and stated
she had NOT seen her husband or heard
Of him since the war and supposed he
had been killed in battle. A letter We
written 70 her stating that her husband
was already drawing pension for
wound received In the war, and
by return mail came an inquiry
for his whereabouts. She said Ghe
