himself at frightening his Republican asso-
ciates in the Department by significantly
drawing his finger across his throat when
ever he meet, one of their number, as sug-
gestive of what is going 10 happen them
officially, now proves to be worker as
well as Joker. His announcement, made
shortly after he assumed the duties of his
position. that he would do his best to pro-
tect eX-soldiers and sailors in their places,
created great enthusiasm. That he was
sincere in his declaration nobody desires to
question; but veterans will, perhaps, be a
trife surprised to learn that he has set a
force of clerks at work on the records of the
War Department. These clerks have dis
covered that there are several office holders
in the Treasury who gained their positions
through the aid of bogus discharge papers.
Some seven hundred cases throughout the
country are being considered. The clerks
who are in Office through fraud will be dis
charged.

Possibly Not a Suicide.
