taxpayers an enormous amount-an amount
greater than all the alleged economical savings
of which so much has been said-but that it
was a cowardly policy, which was calculated to
weaken the treasury in the estimation of the
people, and certain to seriously shake public
confidence in the ability of the government to
fulfill its promised redemption of notes in gold
coin.
During the administration of President Ar
thur, said this gentleman. .'the gold coin in the
treasury always fiuctuated, frequently running
down considerably below the figures which
appear to. have alarmed Treasurer Jor-
dan. These fluctuations were due entirely to
natural causes and it was found that with
little careful management gold flowed back
into the Treasury. During this time the policy
of paying off the debt wac never lost sight of.
and hundreds of millions in bonds were re-
deemed These redemptions during the last year
of President Arthurs administration amounted
to nearly one hundred millions, the annual IN
terest on which was three and a quarter millions.
In my opinion, it would have been much more
candid in Treasurer Jordan to have used the
means at his disposal in redeeming interest-bear-
ing bonds only keeping in the Treasury 40 per
cent. reserve.

Commissioners Blacks False Pretenses To-

ward Union Soldiers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Several letters were
received to-day from Congressman Holmans
district, harshly criticising his course in the
reorganization of the two pension boards there.
Commissioner of Pensions Black is called upon
to go ahead and appoint men to fill the vacan-
cies. regardless of the objector, who is at loss
what to do. He had two ex-Union soldiers dis
missed from the boards because they were Re-
publicans, and now he cannot find ex-Union
soldiers to fill the vacancies. Meanwhile appli-
cants for pensions continue to go to Columbus
or Cincinnati for examination. Commissioner
of Pensions Black is, however, in the same false
position as Holman He has been giving out to
The press. from time to time, statements that he
IS recognizing soldiers more strongly than any
Of his predecessors that he is, in the reorgani-
cation of the boards, putting on one Republican
OK Union soldier which had never been done
before This is buncomb and demagogy. In
doing this Black simply copies after Colonel
Dudley, who always put on each board an ex-
Union soldier who was a Democrat, if one could
be found in the district who was capable.

DESERVES A PENSION.
An Employe Who Has Served the Govern
ment for Fifty Years.

HUNTINGTON, Pa, Sept. 3.-'T am the oldest
man in. the employ of the two biggest corpora
lions in this country" said Isaac Fisher, eighty
years DID, to reporter to-day. Zone is the
United States government itself and the other
is the Pennsylvania Railroad Company"
The old man, although he has handled mail
bags for upward of fifty years, can be seen every
day from A. NJ until 10 P M. pushing his big
truck between the passenger station and the
postofice at this place. ''Old Isaac as he is
Familiarity called, was born in Bedford county,
in August, 1906, and. after ''roughing il" at the
old ancestral homestead until he was nineteen
years old, he ran away from home
and went to Holidaysburg then
the liveiest town between Harrisburg
and Pittsburg, being an intermediate
point where the pack trains were made up to
cross the Allegheny mountains. Here his hardy
frame at once secured his employment in
warehouse and in 1894 he made his debut as
stage driver and mail carrier on the old turn
pike from Lewistown to Blairsvile, through
Miffiin, Huntington, Blair. Cambria, and Indiana
counties In this capacity he continued driving
his four in hand across the wild Aleghenies until
the Pennsylvania railroad was built, in 1850,
when he was made manager of the water station
at this place and carrier of the mail bags from
the trains to the postofice. Mr.. Fisher is an
entertaining conversationalist, and many are his
pleasant "reminiscences of escapes from cata
mounts and other ferocious beasts in those old
days when civilization was in very primitive
state in Pennsylvania. He loves to tell of the
times when he drove Henry Clay and William
Henry Harrison, and other great men of the
day across the country in his stage.
The distance from Lewistown to
Blairsville by the old stage route
was 125 miles. The road was rough and danger
Gus, but Isaac at once acquired the reputation of
being one of the best drivers in the service. He
never carried revolver for protection, and was
never attacked on the way by thieves or high
waymen. When the Pennsylvania railroad was
built the water to supply locomotives, now
pumped by steam power, was then drawn by
horse power from the Juniata river. Mr.. Fishers
description of the oldfashioned locomotives used
on the road is amusing. especially that Of the
traditional ''camel- back" and the ''dinkie."
Ever since 1850 the old man has pushed his big
truck full of mail bags from the station to the
postoffice. In rain or shine, in winter or sum-
mer, old Isaac is to be found faithfully at work.
Now he is bent with years and toll, but still pur
sues his calling with careful fidelity. His friends
here are getting up petition addressed to Pres
ident Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, requesting that pension be awarded
Mr.. Fisher in consideration Of his lifelong serv-
ice and his old age. When Mr.. Fisher obtains
his pension, and only then, he will settle down
and enjoy the reward of his labors.
