Putting the Brakes on Tanner.

Commissioner of Pensions Tanner
secured his appointment, it is said,
through pension attorney of Wash
inglon. That is supposed to &C
count for his kindly feeling for this
attorney and for the veterans as well.
But partially to certain individuals
having business with the bureau is
not the only defect with which his
administration is charged, though it
goes far to explain the fact that the
President and the Secretary of the
Interior have thought it necessary
to place over him a subordinate Off
cial, who reverses his decisions and
unmakes his appointments in a most
exasperating manner. Tanners re-
rating record is deemed scandalous
Persons wishing their pensions re-
rated, with view to an increase, are
required to apply TO a board of
physicians. Five of these physi-
clans, it is stated, have taken adj
vantage of the CorporaPs generous
disposition to have their own pen
sons rerated and to get a liberal in
crease of back pay. The chief of
the medical division got his pension
multiplied it is said, by seven; three
prominent officials had their pen
sions passed upon by subordinates
and multiplied by six; Tanners first
private secretary had his pension
multiplied by ten and got $4,000 of
arrears. 1t is said the new deputy
commissioner has obtained a rera-
ting of $4,000, not to mention Sena-
tor Manderson,s getting an increase
of rate and back pay to the amount
Of $4,000. This way of relieving the
treasury of its surplus created in the
bureau what may be termed pen
sion saturnalia, which it has been
found necessary to stop. Even re-
publican papers in the West, where
pensions are looked upon as rights
rather than gratuities, have called
for ha for the good of the party.
The result, as already stated, is the
placing of u subordinate official of
the bureau in such a position of
authority that the commissioners
power to do harm is materially les
sened. If the President were pos
sessed Of all the nerve he is credited
with he would doubtless find short
or method of restoring order in the
bureau. Tanners bold is in the G.
A. r. camps When that is shown
u he weak his head will doubtless
seek the basket with the utmost
promptitude. - Baltimore Sun.

the politics Of West Virginia, or has
carefully read both sides of the
question, or has heard the unparal-
leled fraudulent methods of Quay
and Dudley, will honestly deny that
fraud unparalleled, except in In
diana, was practiced by the Repub-
lican managers in West Virginia at
the last election. No one who is
aware Of the enormous amount of
money that was brought into this
State by "Steve" Elkins and the Re
publican Committee, and given by
General Golf, from his plethoric bank
account, will honestly deny that
never in the previous history of this
or any other State had such an enor-
nous amount of bold, open and pal
pable fraud been committed at an
election. No one who knows, and
hundreds do know, of the hundreds
of colored men from Virginia who
were rashed across the border and
their fraudulent ballots recorded as
honest West Virginia votes in two
or three of the lower border counties
on the day of election, will honestly
deny that more outrageous fraud
never disgraced a West Virginia
election, or any other previous cleo
ton in any State.
These indictments against the Re-
publican managers have been proven.
On these more than sufficient grounds
the contest of the election was or
dered by the Legislature. AS soon
as an investigation under the laws
of the State was ordered, the Repub-
lican politicians and frauds began to
howl. They knew then, as they
know now, that their criminal, rot
ten work could not stand investiga-
ton, nor be kept from the light of
day, nor many of their ignorant
tools from the shadow of the pcni-
Tertiary. No technical advantages
were taken by Judge Fleming in
his notice of contest. He challenged
none but fraudulent votes, the in
disputable proof of which he had
In vain Golf, pursuing contrary
course, seized upon every TECHNICAL
ty known to the sharp practice of
the law. Although Golf has had
many votes thrown out for him on
this ground, Judge Fleming has
proven more of these illegal votes
thus far than Golf, although the plan
was of COTS own proposing. The
contest committee, composed of hon
orable gentlemen of both parties,
has acted with the most rigid i'm
partiality, strictly upon the evidence
adduced.
The Republican frauds and trick
sters are beaten, their dirty work
must come to light and be judged
under the laws Of the State, and they
know it. They resume their bowls,
which were silenced into smiles
while the committee was throwing
out votes on technicalities for Golf.
Pursuing their tactics they are now,
through their organ, trying to create
prejudice against the contest by1
harping upon its cost! What if It
does cost $50, 900 or $4,000, or even
twice that sum? The people of
West Virginia would sacrifice the
whole State Treasury rather than
have their institutions overturned
by fraud, and rule by the majority,
on which depends the freedom of the
people, subverted.
The Republican tricksters are
beaten. They see it. Hence their
howls.-Register.

Secretary Window has not been
more rapid in reducing the deposits
in national banks than in making
other changes in Mr.. Fairehild's pol
icy. The deposits were $47, 435,377
on June goth, and they were only a
little over $49,000,000 on January l.
A number of banks have voluntari-
ly surrendered part of their deposits
but no action has been taken by the
treasury officials to change the de-
posits from one bank to another
The only changes have been at the
voluntary request of the banks. II
will be remembered that Mr. Blaine
denounced these deposits as in VIC
lation of law, and declared if Re
publican secretary would make them
he would be impeached. But Blaine
don't count for much any more; he
is well enough on the stump where
loose assertion passes current, but
for the work of administration James
G. has become back numbes.

The Population of the United States.

The present estimated population
of the United States is $4,000, 900.
The rate of increase, exclusive OF
immigration, is estimated at Is per
cent per annum-about 100000 a
month. BY immigration the in
crease of population averages over
$4,000 a month, or over half mil
lion yearly. The aggregate annual
growth from both causes will not
fall much short of million and
three quarters. The estimated for
eign population is not far below IA
100000.

MURDER AND LYNCHING.
The Work Of a Vicious Negro-Finally
Arrested and Lynched.

HINTON, W. VA, July 2I.-Hinton
was all excitement yesterday, John
Robinson's circus was here and dur
ing the procession, Constable S. v.
Reynolds attempted to arrest negro
who goes by the name of John Car
ter, which resulted in considerable
amount of shooting. The negro first
fired three shots at Reynolds, one of
which took effect in his right breast
passing entirely through the body.
Carter was fired at several times but
was not struck. He was afterwards
arrested, and is now in the Hinton
Jail. Reynolds condition is very
precarious, though he may recover.
The high estimation in which Mr..
Reynolds is held by the citizens, has
caused excitement to run high and
there has been talk of lynching.

of that organization for the purpose
of forming combination out of
hitherto independent and competing
companies. The deed under which
the sugar trust was organized was
made in October, 1887. 1t provided
that all parties to it, not already
corporations, should first become
such, and thereupon that all the
shares of stock in all the corpora
tions should be transferred to the
board of trustees, eleven in number,
designated as THE Sugar Refineries
Company" in lieu of which stock
certificates declaring that the holder
was entitled to so many "shares of
the Sugar Refineries Company were
to be distributed by the board to the
several corporations, to be by them
re-distributed to the parties entitled
to them. The amount of these GER
tifcates was not to exceed $50,000,-
600, and the quota allotted to each
corporation was to be ascertained
by appraisement and agreement as
to the actual value of its property,
including good will, patents and the
like, and without regard to its CAPT
talization. OF the shares allotted
fifteen per cent. were to be left with
the board with which to acquire
other refineries becoming parties to
the deed to pay foradditional capac-
tiles or to appropriate TO the several
refineries. Each corporation pre-
serves, as before, its identity and
separate management, but the board
as the common and exclusive stock
holders of them all, elect their direc-
tors and receive all the dividends,
out of which in turn they declare
and pay dividends on the trust GER
tificates.
The parties executing the original
agreement included nine in New
York, headed by the great Havemyer
Il Elder concern, whose refineries
have capacity of 5000 barrels, or
nearly two and a-half million pounds
daily, and three in Boston. Later
it was signed by one in st. Louis,
two in New Orleans and one in Port
land, Me-, and possibly others in re-
cent months.
