AFTER ILLEGAL PENSIONS.
Money Received by Re-rating may be
Called Back,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE decision ol
Sec. Noble in the re-rated pension case ol
Senator Manderson, may be regarded as a
precedent in p number of other similar
cases. There are, it is understood, some
twenty-one Of the employees OF the pen
sion office whose pensions have been re-
rated. In some instances this re-rating
was done upon their application, and in
other cases was done without the knowl-
edge the pensioner, and some of these
cases were allowed by Tanner while they
were on appeal before the secretary
Of the interior.
The present acting commissioner,
Hiram Smith, was re-rated, but it is
understood that he made application to
that effect, and in that particular the
legal requirements were complied with.
There are others in the pension office
as well as outside whose pensions were
rerated, and who received arrearages
from.$G, 900 to $4,000, and under the rul-
ing in the Henderson case all are charac-
terized as being illegal. The question
now arises to what extent will Senator
Manderson's example be followed by
those who occupy substantially the same
position. 1t is thought the new commits
sioner OF pensions will have this question
to consider among the first duties which
he will be called upon to perform.
The commissioner has the right to re-
cover all money illegally paid on account
of pensions, and in cases where arrearages
have already been expended the govern
ment cal conliscate all future payments.
So far there has been no attempt made to
recover any money which has been found
to have been paid illegally to pensioners.
1t is said to be desire of the secretary of
the interior to enforce as far as practicable
the collection of the money, and that act
i've measures will be adopted as soon
as commissioner OF pensions has been
appointed. |
Some OF the twenty-one employees OF
the pension Office, whose pensions were
re-rated, have left the government service
since action in their cases was taken.

heights,
Through ranks of welcoming angels, and

Stand in the pure, white light of thy high
throne,

joys,
If down here in the dark were any souls.
Their faces turned from Heaven through
sin of mine.
But, kneeling in the radiance, should say,
Most High and Holy God. although
through grace
And mercy infinite, | stand redeemed,
Some souls there are who happy might
have been.
Oh God, thou knOweSt-nearcr unto thee,
But for some idle questioning thought OF
mine,
What time my own poor soul wandered in
q maze
OF ignorance and dOubt-SOme gentle heart
That my ungentle words have, woundine

Perchance. oh q. tender Christ, to doubt EEL

Now and then the waters would wash

and then to the other side, carving

death and devastation there were some
creatures in human shape robbing and

Cabinet Gossip.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The cabinet
gossips are greatly excited, and more
thinking, talking and guessing is in
dulged in now than at any previous
period One fact is plainly apparent,
Harrison is keeping his own counsel and
will act when he is good and ready and
not before. 1t is questioned here whether
Hiscock and Plumb received any comfort
out of their visit, and it is quite probable
neither of them learned anything defin-
lite. One impression got by the pilgrims
to Indianapolis is that no Southern man
is going into the cabinet. OF
course everyone believes Blaine is
slated for the state department and that
he will accept it. 1t may be that his
presence here gives color and strength to
this view, but the opinion prevails among
all classes of politicians that the Maine
man cannot be turned down. If he should
be named, Harrison will be president,
and Blaine himself has made up his mind
that he viii not have the easy time
he did with Arthur Information has
been received here from Indianapolis that
warrants the belief that Blaine will be
given an opportunity to say whether or
not he will go into the cabinet.
OPPOSITION TO COKE.
Senator Reagan said to-day that he did
not believe the rumOr from Texas that
there was strong opposition to Senator
Coke, and that the latter was quite pop
ular both at home and here. ''There is
no discomfort on the part of Democratic
members of the legislature, - said Mr..
Reagan. 81 think Coke viii be re-
elected, and that his reelection viii be
unanimous. All talk about his unpopu-
larity is bosh. -
PATENTS ISSUED.
The following patents have been issued
to residents of Texas: George J. Fergu-
son, Greenville, recording door lock;
Edgar s. Hurpst, Tyler, steam engine;

Coke Feels SnHsi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator Coke
states that the press dispatch purporting
to come from Austin to the effect that the
opposition to his reelection was concen-
trating so that it might succeed in case an
available candidate was found, was ''not
worth noticing - He added that he had
enemies, as all public men have, and
possibly the dispatch might have been the
product of some person who wanted him
defeated. He says he pays no attention
to it whatever, and that he felt no appTe-
hensiOn in regard to his reelection.
''The same sort of story he con-
tinued, ''was published from Austin
a few weeks ago. The editor of the Fort
Worth GAZETTE addressed a circular let
ter to the Democratic senators and repre-
sentatives- elect. Their replies were pub
lished, and with but two exceptions, all
of them declared for me. l have a copy
of the paper containing their replies. L
have heard nothing from any of my
friends about any opposition. So far as
l know everything is all right.
Senator Reagan and the Texas MEM
bers of the house all confirmed Senator
Coke IS statement as to the almost abso-
lutte unanimity of the Democrats of the
legislature for Coke. They said there
was no opposition, and several of the
members of the house declared that any
man would make himself unpopular III
the state who should seriously suggest
opposition.
