PENSION RORRERY


The st. Louis Republic is showing
up the outrageous policy of Corporal
Tanner and his assistants in exhausting
the pension appropriation, and in re-
rating pensions. The $50, OOO. 900 ap-
propriated for the year ending June
10th, ran short long before it should,
and under Tanners policy of re-rating,
double the amount used last year VII
be necessary.
The Republics information is that
Doctors Bell, Mason, Carpenter, Oar
ling and Baxter; Capt. Phillips, Capt.
Butts, George B. Squires, Hiram Smith.
the deputy commissioner of pensions.
and Mr.. Tanner, relative of the com
missioner, are among the employees of
che interior department who have made
themselves benefciaries of this conspi-
racy to plumber. The deputy commits
sloner OF pensions nearly doubled his
pension, and grabbed $4,000 in arrear-
ages IN lump. Capt. Phillips had in
huence enough in the conspiracy TO in
crease his pension from 81 to S2t a
month, in addition to his salary. Capt.
Smith ran up his pension from 81 to
$50 month, ard pocketed So 1000 cash
as arrearages. Mr.. Tanner, the corpo-
rails relative, was fortunate in the di-
vision of the plumber, for the conspira-
tors gave BIN ''re-ratlng2 from $40 to
$50 month. and 81 900 cash.
The Republic INVITES taxpayers to
contemplate the case of Senator Man
derson, of Nebraska, as an illustration
of the workings of our pension system.
Mr.. Henderson is one of the finest look
ing men in the senate-healthy, rudy
and robust. He would be noted in al
most any 'owd as fine specimen of
mar y vigor. He is rich man, hayIng
prospe"ed notably IN his undertakings.
AS United States senator he is drawing
from the treasury a salary of $1,000
year. For many years he has been on
toe per sion list, drawing pens on for
gunsbot wound which has not impair
ed mental and physical activity much
greater than that of most men. The
other day Tanner "re-rated" this poor,
disabled veteran" greatly iucreas 'ng
his pension, and paying over to him as
Arrears nearly $1,000 of the taz-pay-
ers money.

PROHIBITION.

The press of Kansas is devoting a
great deal of space to the question of
re-suhmission of the prohibitory amend
ment; but we cannot say that there Is
any great amount of evidence that the
people will make this an issue in elect
ing the next legislature. There is no
question in our mind about what should
be done: The people should be permit
ted to vote on the question; but the av-
erage Kansas legislator will not be will
ing to trust his constituents with the
issue. He would prefer to let the pres
ent order of things prevail. Not one
Kansas politician in a thousand is a
teetotaler, and not one IN ten can be
called even a temperance advocate; but
as long as he can hoodwink the masses
and get their votes he will risk getting
his drinks under prohibition laws and
he will see that none of his friends are
punished who are so unfortunate as to
get caught for violation.
No honest man Will say that 1T is not
possible to get any kind of iatoxlcants
in Kansas at almost any time and in
any place. AS expressed by a promi-
nent republican in this county, to the
INDEX, lately: Il have attended ev-
cry kind of public gathering known in
this state, except camr-meeting, nd
[ have never missed finding plel ty of
beer if wanted it,
That is the truth; but 1t has no effect.
Judges, prosecuting attorneys and iur-
ors all know this. The express agents
and the postmasters know it. The dray-
men and the freight handlers know it.
The barrels of beer marked "apples. y
hardware, "crockery." glassware, y
ETC., etc., received at every city, town
and village in Kansas tell the story.
The long list of retail liquor stamps Is
sued in Kansas tell it. Everybody
knows it; but what do the politicians
care? They stand in with the '.jointern
and the ''bootlegger" because he helps
them in the primaries and at the gener-
al elections, and when they are elected
to Office they talk strong against re-
submission

ABOUT BLANK DEEDS.

The encouragement of Kansas has
given it as his opinion that a notary
public cannot take an acknowledgment
to deed when any portion of the deed
is left blank. 1t has been a custom
here, and in fact in every county in the
state, for grantors to execute deeds
with the place for the name of the
grantee left blank, to be filled when
a trade or sale could be worked I'D.
This is bad practice. The attorney
general in his letter says: sit could
scarcely be said that the instrument is
properly executed as long as any mate
rial portion of it is left in blank: the
name of the grantee, taking for exam
pie the case presented by Mr.. Filter, is
a material part of the deed. And If the
execution of the deed has not been COM
Dleted, l should scarcely think a party
could properly appear before an officer
and declare that he had executed the
deed. This is the act which consti-
tutes the acknowledgment. 1 do not
see how the execution of the instrument
can be proven by notary when he is
ignorant of its material provisions, nor
do l see how he can keep the propec
record, required of him by law, when
he is ignorant of the names of the par
ties to an instrument acknowledged be-
fore him. My adYIce to the notary is
to refuse to take Acknowledgements of
any instruments not completely filled

A correspondent Of the Covington (Ga)

dying comrades. Earnestly-as composed

aim and fired. Until John could pass again
Joe could only stand and wait. Thus the
day was spent. Hour after hour John
loaded and Joe shot. The day went against

A moment more and the brave spirit of Joe

among the "shades of Valhalla." John in

The following democratic doctrine is
from the Wichita Eagle. Mnrdock goes
back on his party and on Blaine. The
party encourages and protects trusts of
all sorts, and Blaine says they are 'spri-
vate affairs" The Eagle is dead right
when it says: 1.-The excuse set up by
the sugar kings in the east for storing
immense quantities of sugar, is that
the market is so overstocked ard the
price run down below the point of prof
it, sounds plausible enough if the facts
OF the case were not directly opposite.
Whatever may be the condition of the
market as to supply, the price is not
only not down but up to almost an ex-
horbitant figure. The sugar trust
crowd in New York pay no more atten-
ton to the law and the decision of the
courts of that state in relation to their
monopollstlc acts than they do the rip
ping of the waves on the beach. II
would be pity to have the great stores
OF sugar destroyed because that would
only augment the distress among the
consumers, but it is greater pity that
some scheme cannot be devised to utter
~ rum, financially, the heartless mo-
nopolists. The public would be very
SLOW TO censure any one or any combi
nation that should successfully despoil
the trusts and combines of whatever
sort that fatten off the peoples necessi-
ties of whatever kind,
