A LIVELY WRECK.

Public office is a public trust, and there
are few men who do not think that they can
trust themselves with any Office they can get
the public to trust them with. General
Black, now commissioner of pensions, al
though he is ga physical wreck" has never
found any difficulty in drawing the salary of
his Office, and now, it appears, he is aiming
higher. He is said to be a candidate for
nomination for Vice President at the Demo
cratic convention, and ''boomn has been
set on foot for this purpose either by himself
or some of his friends.
General Blacks case is worth attention
He was an officer in the late war and was
severely wounded. Some years ago special
act of Congress was passed giving him a
pension of one hundred dollars a month, the
highest rate of pension paid to anybody ex-
cept the widows of a few eminent generals.
In his application fer this pension he said
that he was a complete physical wreck, in
capableof any effort, ," and that set was only
question of how long he would live" But
after he got his pension he lived on and be-
came capable of such effort in q political way
that he claimed the credit of contributing
1and, and obtained the Office of pension COM
missioner. He has apparently discovered no
incengruity in his performances, but others
have perceived some. For instance, the
Worcester Spy, which says: Of course no
man who isas mere physical wreck, incapable
of any exertion, and is drawing pension of
81, 200 year for total disability, ought to
hold laborious Office, even if he does not,
as General Black does, combine uncommon
activity in politics with his official labors; or,
to reverse the case, no man who is capable of
performing the duties of commissioner of
pensions ought to draw pension of 81, 200
year as a physical wreck incapable of any
effort. Either his salary or his pension
should be suspended, for the fact, if it is
fact, that he earns his salary proves that he
does not deserve his pension, and the fact
that he deserves his pension, if that is fact,
proves that he cannot earn his salary.
In seeking the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent General Black is going little too far,
and he may, if he persists, be still further
wrecked. If he is he will find it difficult to
get his pension increased,

ment to fit the army with better field
glass have brought to light the fact that the
eyes of Americans are nearer together than
are the eyes Of other nations. Foreign field
glasses, especially those of Germany, the
