DIR. SCOTT'S VICTIM.
Mr.. Git, Late Of the Pension Office,
Will Expose Something.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-When the
opportunity arrives for Congress
sional investigation of affairs in the
pension Office, under Commissioners
Tanner, there will be plenty of ma
terial. David L. Gitt, late Chief
Examiner of the Pension Office, who
was recently removed, promises to
throw some light on recent transac-
tions in that bureau. He stated to-
day that he would shortly prepare a
statement for publication that would
make mighty interesting reading.
Git was not removed for any dere-
LECTION of duty, but because Father
in-law Scott, who served in subor-
dinate capacity under him, had a
grudge against him.

Business of a scandalous nature
in the office of the Commissioner of
Pensions was exposed last week. All
the Pension Attorneys in Washing
ton except one found their cases 60
ing slow, while the cases of that one
were being railroaded through. The
fortunate Attorney was found to be
an intimate friend of the Pension
Commissioner. The two went out
riding together almost daily. The
other Attorneys laid the case before
the President, who of course called
for information. There was no deny
ing the astounding favoritism, TO-
600 cases having been expedited"
for the favorite Attorney. A scape-
goat had to be provided and there
was one at hand. The Pension Com
missioner's private clerk took the
blame on himself and was permitted
to resign, and Immediately thereafter
the Secretary of the Interior appoint
ed him Timber Agent for the Gov
crnment, in which capacity it will be
easy for him to steal a fortune by
combining with the timber thieves
he is appointed to watch. The fav-
ored Attorney (Lemon) was permit
ted to put two clerks of his own in
the pension bureau to work up his
business. We do not see how Presi-
dent Harrison can sustain his own
reputation for honesty without turn
ing out not only Commissioner Tan
ner, but also Secretary Noble.-Re-
vieW and Eraminrr.

Gen. Lew Wallace has positively
refused the offer of Minister to Hayti
and has returned to his home at In
dianapolis and will confne himself
altogether to literature. 1t might
be good scheme to send Col. Birdie
Hart to Hayti. He could run Re
publican politics there as well as he
does at Wheeling.

station to station.
The outlook, therefore, is in every
respect enticing. Americans will
watch the progress of events with
increasing interest, and it is to be
hoped that they viii shoulder their
allotment in the venture and reap
their share of the reward.

Intelligent West Virginia jour
nalists would be happy if great
many of the papers outside of the
State would, for little while, leave
out the sentence-"They are still
counting the votes in West Vir
ginia. '-NEw DOMINION.
We are not surprised that West
Virginia journals are becoming dis
gusted. This prolonged "count of
the votes" must surely be growing
monotonous to the newspaper men
of that State who have anxiously
awaited an opportunity to announce
the result of the gubernatorial cleo
ton held in that commonwealth
nearly one year ago. But then we
suppose the commission that has
charge of the count was appoint
ed under the civil service act, in
which case our neighbors across the
line may have to wait until the civil
service act is repealed. -Frostburg
ND, Journal.
There is no count of the votes 60
ing on in West Virginia. The Jour
nal is only one of the many papers
outside of the State that is laboring
under the misrepresentation. There
is no commission now in office, either
under civil service rules or other
wise that is counting the votes"
but there is gubernatorial commit
tee that is throwing out illegal Re-
publican votes from 40 of the 81
counties of the State and the deposi-
tions from each precinct are SO
lengthy as to require the continued
work for several months of the com
mittee to get through with them.
This is not counting" votes, neither
are they going to count them where
they should not be counted, and in the
long run it will be shown that the
south is still very solid, if West vir-
ginia is to be reckoned as south
crner.

Corporal Tanner, like Ben H., is
stuck on getting his relations into
office. He has made his daughter,
sweet girl graduate fresh from
Parker Institute, his confidential
clerk at a salary of 81, 800 per annum.
Nepotism is an established fad with
the present administration, and is as
far from right as Mr.. Cleveland and
his subordinates were from wrong in
not allowing single relative an APP
pointive office.

The IS naolders Of the Pittsburg
Steel Casting Company, at Twenty
sixth and Railroad streets, are on .
strike. Heretofore they have gone
to work at $50 o'clock in the Morn
ing, and quit at $50, being allowed
40 minutes for dinner. They have
been notified that they must go to
work hereafter at 6:45 and work I'M
til O'Clock, with 80 minutes only
for dinner, thus adding As minutes
to their 10 hours of daily work.
This is what they object to, and they
have struck. Increasing the labor
of each moulder to the extent of four
hours and a half week without in
creasing his pay is not what the
statesmen who are running this
country just now have led him to
expect. 1t is merely one way of re-
ducing wages.
To look at it in another aspect,
what was promised these working
men last fall? Didn't Tom Bayne
and John Dalzell, and whole army
of Republican orators, tramp all over
Allegheny county last September
and October promising workingmen
that if they would vote for Harrison
and Morton and high tariff they
would get plenty of work? Well,
aren't they getting plenty of work?
What are these Twenty-sixth street
molders kicking about? Isn't As
minutes addition to their daily toll
more work? If they are not salts
fed with IL hours work and high
tariff no doubt they can be accom-
modated with high tariff and IL
hours work.

between two and three hundred
young men and women assemble dali

RALEIGH, N. c., June PA test
was made to-day on the Raleigh and
CASTOR railroad of a process recently
invented by Baylus Cade, of West
Virginia for telegraphing to and
from moving trains. The current is
maintained by means of drag at
tached to the car and which slides
over a set of wires laid along the
track. Messages were received from
the offices at Raleigh and Green's
boro while the train was running at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. Mr..
Cade, the lucky inventor, is former
West Virginian and prominent

The University And Its Alumni

A well considered and well planned
move was undertaken by the Alumni
Association Of the State University,
at the last meeting. The object was
nothing less than to make the Board
of Regents an Alumni body, and Sc
cure alumnal control of the Univer-
sity. No reflections can be cast upon
the industry and fidelity with which
the present Board has cultivated the
interests of the school. The members
have been constant in season and out
of season, yet their plans have been
often thwarted and defeated by lack
of thorough acquaintance with the
character am needs of the institution
1t has been SO with every preceding
Board of Regents since the Univer
sity was founded.
The time has come when this evil
can be remedied, and there is no
good reason why it should not be
done. There are University students
in every county and township of the
State who would fill regents
position with credit and ability.
They would be full of enthusiasm
for their alma mater. Its welfare
wonld be closer to their hearts than
it could possibly be to any other men.
No sweeping change should be asked,
but both sense and sentiment are in
the proposition that hereafter the al
umni Of the State University should
be more fully represented in it's man
agement.- Wheeling Register.
The Widest Scheme of PiIIage.
The Boston Civil-Service Record,
four of whose board of seven editors
voted for Harrison, gives it as it's
opinion that the present distribution
of patronage "may be called, without
exaggeration, the widest schemeof
anarchy and pillage of government
offices that has been presented to the
eyes of the younger generation"
Up to May Is, it points out, there
had been $500 new appointments,
against only 1000 for the same time
under Cleveland. At this rate only
sixteen months would be required to
make an absolutely clean sweep Of
everybody in Office on March 4th.-
In one week more fourth class post
masters have been changed in Indi-
ana than in the whole year ending
