A Scandal in the Pension Omce.

A man named Lemon, who pub
fishes II soldier paper at Washing
ton, called the National Tribune,
and who has become wealthy in
prosecuting pension claims, induc-
ed Commissioner Tanner, or his
private secretary, Mr.. Squires, to
make special and "railroad" about
ten thousand claims through the
pension office. Other claim agents
discovered the rascality and en-
posed it to the President. The pen
sion bureau had been kept busy
with Lemons cases to the eXclus-
ion of all others, at least equally
meritorious. OF course this expos
ure put an end to the business.
The blame was laid to Squires who
was duly removed, presumably by
order of the President. The follow
ing dispatch gives the result of
the affair. 1t is simply scandelous:
Washington, June 14.-The scan
delous state of affairs at the pen
sion office, whereby a favored at
torney had been given the extra
ordinary privileges of having cases
submitted by him expedited to the
disadvantage of other attorneys,
resulted in sensation today at the
big brick barn in charge of Com
missioner Tanner. Private Secre-
tary Squires, who had initiated the
papers, and had constructively
given the order for railroading the
cases referred to, was today allow
ed to resign under circumstances
and conditions that are not by any
means creditable to the present adj
ministration Of the pension office.
Squires was suspended yesterday
afternoon by order of the president.
1t would seem that there was only
two things left to do, either to eX-
onerate Squires or remove him.
Instead of this, however, the scan
dial is hushed up by allowing him
to resign and providing him with
another office. The indications
yesterday pointed to the probabil-
ity of Squires assuming all the res
possibility and thus clearing the
commissioner of suspicion, but no
one suspected that he would be re-
warded for his "indiscretion" by
having another government job
furnished him. But Squires is
evidently in a position to demand
that he be taken care of, and inn
after his resignation was
accepted he was appointed by the
secretary of the interior as timber
agent.
This disgraceful termination of
the matter plainly indicates that
Squires simply obeyed the instruc-
tions of his chief, otherwise he
never would have been given
another office. The publisher of
the Tribune and Tanner, the dis
patches state, have been very
the latter having been
by the former. and
given numerous rides in Tanners
fine carriage. The virulent oppos-
ition of the Tribune to the re-elec-
ton of Cleveland, it may be infer
red, was caused principally by the
fact that Gen. Black and his pri-
vate secretary would not "railroad'
his cases.-McArthur Eng.

"GoDEY's LADY's Book" for
July, has arrived as fresh as II
spring sunshine, full of novelties
and attractions throughout. The
literary pages contain several good
stories, and charade of equal
merit, while poems, fashion gossip

variety of good things. The book
increases in merit each month,
difficult as it would seem to be, to
improve an almost perfect publica-

THE Democratic national COM
mittee at its special meeting in
New York Wednesday elected for
its chairman Hon. Calvin S. Brice
Of Ohio, who was the able and eff
cient chairman of the executive
committee during the Presidential
campaign. The Republican rumors
of a contest for the place were dis
sipated by Senator German second
ing his nomination. The selection
of Mr.. Brice, following the election
of Hon. Carlos French, tariff re-
former, to represent Connecticut in
the committee, is unmistakable
evidence that the Democracy will
take no step backward on tariff re-
form.-Cleve. Plain Dealer.

IT is becoming more and more
clear to the Republicans that Fora
ker must lead their forlorn hope
in the fall campaign. He will
adopt Blaine's tactics and let the
other aspirants fight one another
in the expectation that neither can
develope great strength and that
he will be called On to be the Moses
to lead the Republicans out of the
wilderness. Asa Bushnell would
take second place under Foraker
and open II "bar'l." AS soon as this
is thoroughly understood Foraker's
nomination will be a foregone con-
ciusion, for no qualification weighs
SO much with Republican as the
ability to produce "barl."-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Farmers, in some instances, do not seem
TO appreciate the value there is in having
strictly llrstclass vegetable garden to
supply the home table with. The old

farmers have adopted rs the standard,

children older than five or six years, al
though some times theyrcceive them rs old

two years The Chicago Society sends its
children into homesin the Western States

they are continually receiving appi.
cations. Whenever one child is
sent there arc sure TO be applications

will talk about the incident The Joncscs,
who hear OF the society, have no children.
They decide that they will take little
boy TO raise, and they notify the society.
When ho is sent to them, neatly dressed
and bright looking, they are pleased. The
neighbors talk about what nicc.looking
fellow the little orphan is, and the Smiihs,
who have recently lost child, or who
have never had one, decide that they will
take little girl, ii they can get tho kind
they want. They send description OF
their preference 10 the society, aud soon
little girl such as they have asked for, is
sent to thom So it goes, until twenty or
thirty homes have been found in every
