PRESS COMMENTS.
Vermont DaiIies as Prophet.

All the efforts of the mug wumps to
bow Corporal Tanner out of the pen
sion office are unavailing. They do
not command anything, and don't
count this year Est. Adams Mes
senger, Sept. 9.
Tanner must surely 60" says a
glaring headline in the New York
Times. But Tanner, like the police
man in the Pirates of Penzance, don't
go Burlington Free Press, Sept. II.
Senator Ingalls, on Pensions.
At the annual reunion of the old
soldiers of the Southwest at Arkan-
sas City, Kan, Friday, Senator John
]. Ingalls, of Kansas said, THE
wealth of this nation increases $780,
600, 900 with every tick of the watch,
and the soldiers have earned it all
Without them there would have been
no treasury, no nation, and they are
entitled to their percentage of it.
There are just three things that
ought to be done. First, the limita-
ton on pensions ought to be remov-
ed; second, the disability pension bill
ought to become a law; third, every
soldier who received an honorary
discharge ought also to receive a pen
sion.
These were the results that Com
missioner Tanner had sought to at
tain in his administration of the Of
flee of commissioner of pensions, and
honor him for his high desires and
brave efforts in behalf of the veteran
soldiers. The only fault | have to
find with Tanner, is that he did not
have two feet while he was in office
so that he could have made more
rapid progress in the attainment of
his policy"

Uses A junior officer was lowered
into the well, but, with the exception
of a little water, found nothing, the
glass and ''fire water" having disap-
peared in the connected sewer. In
explanation of the officers failure, it
might be said that the liquor dealers
in this town, by using ordinary eau
ton, need never be caught, for it is
reported that their several saloons
are arranged with trap doors on
which all liquors are kept in glass,
and that at an instant's warning a
spring can be touched or a string
pulled that will dump the whole
stock of intoxicants onto rocks or
