Trouble Ahead for Tanner.

Pension Commissioner Tanner is ex-
pected to return to the pension Office
Tuesday after his Fourth Of July vacation
and the indications are that he will find
considerable trouble on bis hands. The
President and Secretary Noble seem to
have concluded that he was running the
pension Office entirely too loosely, and
during his absence the deputy commits
sioner, acting under instructions, has made
a number of changes that are calculated
to guard the interests of the government
and fair administration of the law rath-
er than to promote the welfare of pension
attorneys. In addition to this he will find
that Drs. W. E. Brandt, of Indiana, and
w. NJ. Goodlowe, of Ohio, qualified sur
geons, and DR.. John E. Carpenter,of Ohio,
medical examiner. have been dismissed
on the ground that that have been too lib
eral in re-rating pensions. As their liberali-
ty was authorized and enforced by Mr.. Tan
ner. it is generally thought at the pension
Office that these removals presage the re-
moval of the commissioner himself at an
early date. Assistant Secretary Bussey,
when questioned about the matter Mon
day, refused to make any statement what
ever, but he did not not deny the rumors,
and by his manner gave the impression
that they were we'll founded.

Sullivan Wins.

The much talked about fight betwet n
Sullivan and Kilrain came off Monday at
Richburg, Miss, one hundred and five
miles distant from New Orleans, and Sui
livan won in the seventy fifth round. 1t
was, SO to speak, a hollow victory, the
big fellow having the best of it all the
way through. Daring the fight Sullivan
was taken sick, Kilrain offered to ma ke it
a draw, but this proposition Sullivan de-
clined, and inslsted on fight to finish.
After the seventy fifth round Kilrain
threw up the sponge. Neither Of the
combatanis was seriously injured, al
though kilrain was very weak from the
body bows admins cred By his adversary.
kiIrain won the first fall and first blood
and Sullivan the first knock down. The ut
most order prevailed at the ring eide. nor
was there any Interference on the part OF
authorities. The crowd attending the
mill was made up of respectable people
and toughs, the latter largely predomina-
ting. Murderers, cutthroa,s and thieves
were out it force, and made their presence
teit. The fight lasted two hours and
sixteen minutes There was not that
abundant flow of claret from the nose and
mouth which embelishcs accounts of
scraps between thirdrate fighters
sullivan had his ear split, both of his
syes bunged, his neck scratched and both
hands disabled, but eviuced no outward
symptoms of suffering.
kilraiu's lip was cut, his eft ear smash
ed and his short ribs severely pounded.
he bled Ia very inconsiderable extent,
and only big bruise, the size of mans
hand, showed where Sullivan's terrific
right hand repeatedly ja.bed him. Later
in the fight, when kilrain began to grow
weak in .eg and arm and to,tered about
helpless victim of Sullivau's superior
but greatly diminished muscular force.
then the spectacle became not only revolt.
ing, but pitiable.
Our sympathies were with Kilrair, but
he was overmstched

In North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington Territories cousti.
tutional conventions were held Friday
which took the first great step in the com
pletion of the movement by which they
are to become States in the Union. Presi
dent Cleveland signed on February 22d
last the act of Congress providing for their
admission. The constitutions adopted
must he submitted to the voters of the re-
spective Territories on the first Tuesday
of next October for ratification or rejec-
tion. Should they be ratified the Pres-
dent will issue proclamation to that eff
feet, and the admission of the new States
will date from the time of the issuing of
the proc amation. The statutes of the
United States provide that one star shall
be added to the flag for each new State n
the Fourth of July next succeeding the
date of the admission of the State to the
Union. The four new stars cannot, there
fore, be added until July Fourth, 1890

Ing men of the State to have become

ry to organize themselves into pro-
tective association, adopt a constitu-
ton, elect officers and obtain a char

ed.
Then let the association appoint one
man to inspect all tobacco, being au-
thorized so to do by law. 1t would
have its President and Secretary in
Baltimore to manage its affairs and
intelligently conduct its business. 1t
would have its warehouse property
where its entire annual production
could be held, storage free, at the
pleasure of the association. 1t could
hold the tobacco there until it could
he sold to advantage and dispose of it
always to the best advantage. 1t
would advise and instruct its members
how to pack tobacco, carefully inspect
it and always guarantee the samples.
Then when the French contract
come around who would make the
lowest bid
But it might be that out of the 3O,-
600 hogshesds of Maryland Tobacco
the owners Of 10000 hogsheads would
not be able to have their tobacco held
by the association for an improved
market, their necessities compelling
them to realize early upon it. This
emergency could be easily met. AT
the prices now obtained, $25 hogs
head is full average price. The
value Of 10000 hogshesds at that
price would be but $250,OOO. The
tobacco to double the value being
safely stored in the warehouses and
insured against accidents, this sum of
money could easily be obtained as a
loan upon it by the association and
advance to the needy owners until such
time as a sale of it would be justified.
This is unquestionably the KEY to
the situation. But as we have said
before, in view of the we'll known
temper Of our people. it is very doubt
full whether it will ever be applied
We believe, however, that the great
hardships which our tobacco growers
have endured Of late, have rendered
them very much in earnest in this
matter. and if some energetic and
public spirited citizen like DR.. Waring,
who has the time aud the means to
devote to it, would take hold of the
matter in earnest, that the necessary
organization could be effected and the
good results referred to fully attained
The narrow territorial limits of the
tobacco growing industry in Maryland
and limited number of people en-
gagged in it, and the valuable ware
house property they own in Baltimore
are all features which tend to make
the cooperative organization Of the
industry in the manner referred to a
practical enterprise.

President Harrison, when a Senator

President Harrison, when Senator
made speech, in which he said he "pray-
ed the country would have President
who would either pursue civil service
policy upon a just basis, allowing meI
accused to be heard, and deciding against
them only upon competent proof andfairly
or adopi..the other frank and bold,i brutal,
method of turning men and wemen out
simply for politicaI opinions" Judging
from Mr.. Harrison's actions since he has
become President, it is plain to be seen
that of the two methods he referred to
when Senator, he prefers the latter, both
on his own and his party's account.
