TANNER 5 RECKLESsNEss.- 1t appears
that the probable cost of Tanner 5 reck-
less and demagOgical work in the Pen
sion Bureau has become the subject OF
inquiry in the Treasury DepaI tment, and
that the indications have caused some
anxiety in the mind Of the Secretary.
1t was reported a few days ago that
this matter had received the atten-
ton Of Senator Allison, who
feared not only that the surplus
might be exhausted, bat even that there
might be q deficit. Why the President
or any Of his advisers should be sur
prised at the results Of Tanner : work
we cannot see. for they well knew his
opinions and designs when he was ap-
pointed to office, and even encouraged
him in his purpose.
Too THlN.-There is no longer any
question as to the white washing pur-
pose Of the Investigation Of the pension
Office undertaken BY order OF Secretary
Noble. The composition Of the com
mission of inquiry gave this impression
at the start, and the progress of It's work
offers confirmation. 1t Is especially nc
] table. IN this connection, That the month
Of May has been chosen as that in which
the test is to be applied to Corporal
Tanners administration. lt mat
tiers little that the month
Of December, 1888. is taken as a
sample of General Blacks work: al
though, if there were anything wrong
in his conduct of the Office, it might be
suspected to occur about that time. But
by selecting May as specimen Of Tan
ner's administration the commission
escape the unpleasant necessity of re
ferring TO the case of Senator Mander-
son, the quarrel among the jealous
clam agents. the scandal occasioned by
the "re-rating' Of employees of the
oflise, and, in short, nearly everything
that has made the trouble. 1t is a very
Transparent scheme, and it will not
help Mr.. Harrison. Boston Post.

A GOLDEN SNARE.

There is nothing in the economy OF this
world of ours that the crank, the humbug
and the simpleton like so much to tinker
with as matrimony. Whether it be to make
money, mischief or merely a noise in the
world, new meddlers with matrimony arise
every month in the year. We do not know
how exactly to class Mr.. Otto Won Hildren,
who has imported new system of alliance
between the sexes from Germany, and has
begun to form what he calls the Order of
the Golden Star for its propagation in St.
Paul, MINI. He may be benevolent phi
losopher, and he may be a new kind of a
bunko steerer. His object may be to bene-
fit the human race, or simply to benefit
himself Whether his guiding star be
benevolence or Doodle, his proposed remedy
for the evils of the marriage state as now
constituted look very like bosh.
Here's the pith of the Golden Star brand
of free love:
We hold, in our order, that, after one has be-
come a member of it. he or she cannot marry
outside that order, and that their selection
must be some member within its circle. This
selection is to be based upon the physical and
mental fitness of each other and a mutual
agreement and understanding, after proba-
tionary period of six months. that they will live
as husband and wife as long as harmony con-
tinues. We do not permit divorce where lack
of harmony is discovered. We inquire closely
into the cause of the trouble, and if there is no
reasonable or rational probability of the two
remaining together, and there is every reason
why they should separate, then the bond that
has united them is amicably dissolved.
The remedy for the evils affecting the
marriage estate in this age will not be found
in any such empirical scheme. 1t is not
marriage that Deeds mending SO much as the
morals of the men and women who take it
so lightly.

NO DANGER THAT WAY.

The report that the cruise. Charleston
made 10 miles an hour on her last trip moves
the Chicago Times to exclaim, ''This sort Of
thing must stop. 1t will never do to have
our navy get the reputation of being fast -
The fact is full reports show that the thing
did stop, after the Charleston had run a
comparatively short distance, by the in
scrutable disarrangement of some of her
machinery. A vigorous attempt was made
to give this vessel the reputation of being
fast on her first trial trip; but the fact
leaked out that the only fast points about
that excursion were the champagne and the
imagination of the reporters. The second
trip does not seem to have been more sue
cessful. So long as the policy of building
ships all over the country, for political mo-
tives is pursued, as it was in the case of the
Charleston, there is little danger of our
navy suffering from the reputation of too
much rapidity.

BANKS AND PANICS.

The recent large failures among New En-
gland manufacturing concerns have evident
ly produced tendency among some of the
banks of that section to contract their loans
and to regard all paper, except that of the
most gilt-edged quality, with suspicion.
This appears from an editorial in the Provi-
dence Journal, which points out that the
best policy of the banks is to satisfy them
selves of the soundness of their customers
and then to extend rather than contract
their loans to solvent borrowers. A general
policy of refusing paper by the banks can
force liquidation and bring on panic,
in which case the banks will suffer with the
rest of business. On the other hand, judi
cious boldness in sustaining solvent busi-
ness can not only avert panic but extend the
business of the banking concern adopt
ing it.
This is the Journals argument and it is a
sound one; but the difficulty is to get bank
ing capital to adopt it. No interest has
been more prone to the alienation from
blind confidence to unreasoning suspicion
than the banking one. All the great panics
have had their real source in the preceding
periods ofrecklessness, when anything that
bore the semblance of prosperity was accept
ed by the banks. The bank that has taken
everything that glitters for gold, will neces-
sarily conclude when it discovers its mis-
take that everything must be suspected.
The one that has looked closely to the
foundations of solvency in prosperous times
can bear itself boldly in adverse periods.
No signs either of insolvency or distrust
darken Pittsburg's business horizon; and
the reason may be that prices have been
kept on so moderate basis as to prevent
boom. With that fact insuring the close
attention of the banks to the foundations Of
credit. we may conclude that there is little
danger of the time coming when our fnanc-
ial institutions will be called upon to deter
mine whether they will contract their loans,
or continue to extend credits in the teeth of
an era of distrust.

4 PLACE FOR ORATORY.

1t must be acknowledged that the Eifel
tower has given an evidence that it is moi
an entirely useless piece of architecture.
The news comes from Paris that it has been
made the locality for an after-dinner speech
by the renowned Chauncey NJ. Depew. The
availability of such a structure in the line
of putting after-dinner orators 1000 feet
above the rest of the human race and letting
them spout to their own satisfaction, has
never before been suspected; but it was re-
served to our own Depew to demonstrate ii
on the spot which is also made famous by
the name of Russell Harrison This seems
to settle the question of an Eiffel tower for
1892. Let us have one 1900 feet high BY
all means, and notify the orators that when
the spirit moves them that is the place they
can deliver themselves.
