THE coRPoRAl's STATEMENT.

They put me In the Pension shop, they raised
They knew "a make 'em solid with the
@. A. R.
They slobbered DER the soldiers, they made .
Joyous hymn,
'Hurrah for bigger pensions and hurrah for
Corporal JIM"
But when 1 tired 10 do the thing was put
there to do,
They choked me on and said made too much
OF o hullabaloo.
I sounded on the bugle and I beat upon the
drum,
surplus hum;
I asked nv comrades to come in aud warm
them from the cold,
And stun their pockets trimming full OF green
backs and OF gold;
I really thought that Harrison had meant the
things he said,
When all at once, he says: shut up, you're
suffering from big head"
He thought that was good enough to win the
soldiers votes,
But when I tried TO keep his pledge he said
A battered veteran like me was handy for q
sign
To show the Administration was great in the
pension line.
But / was much too honest in my speech and
in my talk,
And so for indiscretion Ihave been made to
walk.
Now, indiscretion is fault to make officials
grieve,
And consists in saying publicly the things that
you believe,
And in failing TO take notice of the deprecatory
wink
Which shows that your superiors aren't say
ing what they think.
But IN an up and dow nright chap, I can not
skulk or trim,
And so they thought it safest to get rid of Cor
poral Jim.
In 'ss Ben Harrison was glad to hear me speak,
But now my conversation appears to make
him weak.
Have changed or has he changed that's wha,
want to know;
And if it's /, why. then, Of course, twas right
that should go.
He thinks I'm suffering from big head per
haps the charge is true,
But 1 respectfully submit he's got the big
head, too.

How He Makes His Connection with the

The New York Saturday Globe de-
clares itself unable to accept q state
ment of the Cincinnati Enquirer. the
statement in question being as follows:
Bids were invited some time ago for the unt
forms OF the Cincinnati mail-carriers. Many
of our local leading furnishers went into the
competition. The lowest Cincinnati bid was
s29.O5 per uniform But Wanamaker Brown,
OF Philadelphia, got the contract at s29 Oh
course, John did not have any tip to knock on
that five cents.
We have not seen tho Post Office De-
partment books or the contract, but
this statement OF the facts has been
made in the Cincinnati papers as an
announcement of the result OF the bids.
1t has been reiterated and commented
on there and elsewhere, and we have
waited in vain for Mr. Wanamaker to
deny or explain. The report OF the
bidding and award made public in
Cincinnati has, therefore, all the
probabilities on its side, and we have
no doubt that if Congress investigates,
it will be found that the contract was
awarded to Wanamaker & Brown ex-
actly as stated.
The house of Wanamaker & Brown
is, we understand, an offshoot OF
John Wanamaker's and the bust
ness relations between them are
close, though Wanamaker & Brown
claim independence of the pa
rent house Nevertheless, it is gen.
orally understood that the capital in
Wanamaker & Brown is, in part at
least, John Wanamaker's capital, so
that when he lets contract to that
firm he practically lets it to himself.
While this is our understanding of
the matter, based on all facts obtaina-
BILE, we prefer to leave it for Con-
gressional investigation in which all
the facts can be developed. 1t is OF
record that since John Wanamaker
became Postmaster-General, Wanna
maker & Brown have attempted to use
fOurth-class postmasters as their
agents. The letting of this Cincinnati
contract is no worse for the Postmas-
ter-General than this. His methods
call for full investigation from Con-
gress, with view to bringing out the
connection between Wanamaker, the
Cabinet member, and Wanamaker, the
breeches-maker. St Louis Republic.

can get it. There are no frills about
Frank. He hears the evidence, allow
no technical objections that will be

the facts likely to bear ON the case in

two sureties offered on a bond. Judge
Ayres said to one of them:
