Senator Mandersoa's Pension.

Corporal Tanner having been removed
from power, those who were benefited by
his Illegal acts are thinking, doubtless,
whether it would not be advisable for them
TO return the certificates and money which
! they received through him without au-
thority of law. Senator Manderson ha7
done what he could to set himself right,
having returned to the government the GER
tlficate giving him an increase in his pen
sion and lump sum of several thousand
dollars. From letter whicl be wrote 10
Secretary Noble, however, it appears that
he returned the certificate rather unwill-
ingly, and that he did so only in
obedience to a strong public sentiment
lie attempts to defend himself for retain
ing the certificate so long by saying that
be did not apply for an increase in his
pension, and that more than a month ago
he wrote to the Secretary of the Interior to
know whether it would be right for him to
keep it.
He knew, Of course, that there was some
thing regular In the way the certificate
was issued, or else he would not have
written to the Secretary of the Interior
with regard to it. If he had been guided
by the right motives, lie would have re-
turned it TO Corporal Tanner as soon as he
received it. He did not do this, he says,
because he did not want to hurt the cor
poral's feelings. That may have been his
reason, and it is charitable to believe that it
was, but, If it was, il seems rather strange
that he should have said to Secretary Noble
that he was willing to submit TO the test of
the pension office to determine whether or
not he was entitled to have his pension re-
rated.
Senator Henderson is a wealthy man and
holds very high office. He had no need
of the money which rerating Of his pen
sion gave him, and he must have known
that if he winked at Corporal Tanners ir-
regular act precedent would be estab-
lished that would take a great deal of
money out of the treasury without the
authority of law.
The senator's case was made a precedent
and many pensions were rerated
Twenty-one employees of the pension
bureau had their pensions rerated. Each
got handsome increase, which was ordered
to begin at the date of the orr giaal pension.
In that way they got amounts in cash
varying from 81 900 to $4,000 The govern
ment will endeavor, doubtless to get this
money back. 1t may do so in the cases of
those who still remain in the public service,
but those who have resigned will be able
probably to keep what they got. II
Senator Henderson had taken straightfor-
ward course no precedent would have been
established, and the rerating business would
have been checked at the very beginning of
it. Under the circumstances his tardy ex-
PLANTATION will not do him much good.

Clamoring for the Relief Fund.

very large part of the fund contributed
to the Conemaugh valley sufferers has not
yet been distributed. Those who are en-
titled to the money need it, and they are
complaining Of their failure to get it. The
weather is already cold, and many of the
flood sufferers lack tie means to procure
winter supplies.
A recent report from Johnstown, the
chief town in the Conemaugh valley, places
the total amount of the charitable fund at
s., 0O0,0 900. OF course a very large part of
it has been paid to those entitled to il.
Why all of it has not been distributed does
not appear to be clear. Doubtless, how
ever, Gov. Beaver has good reason for his
course in the matter, although there are
not wanting those who declare that he is
wanting in ability to handle the funds
properly, and that he has shown great
favoritsm in the distribution that has thus
far been made.
The longer the fund is kept in the banks
the less there will be for the sufferers. be-
cause the expenses of the distribution COM
mittee are quite large The secretary of
the committee, it is understood, is paid $25

who receive good salaries 1t may be that
the secretary is worth all he receives and
that the clerks are needed, but it is quite
clear that the sufferers, who are waiting for
the money that was given by generous peo-
pie to relieve their sufferings, and, in a
measure, assist them in bearing their losses,
do not think so. They believe that the
money ought to be distributed without any
further delay, and they appear to have
reason and common sense on their side.
The Conemaugh valley disaster occurred
more than four months ago, and it must be
more than three months since the flood
fund was collected. There certainly has
been time enough to distribute the fund.
largo as it was. Perhaps the difficulty is
that there is too much red tape. The red
tape method of doing things is slow and
costly.

4 Puzzled Bishop.

In the Episcopal convention IN New Horl
ON Monday the Rt. Rev. Abdiel Leonard
bishop of Nevada and Utah, said that il
Utah the Mormon question was far from
settled. When ne first went TO that terri
tory he thought hat he knew something
| about it, but after years Of work he VA
forced to declare that it puzzled him.
The inference from what tine bishop said
is that polyg my, notwithstanding thu
strict enforcement of the law against 1t
is still practiced to very considerable
extent. The Mormons pretend that they
have abandoned it, but if the bishop il
rightly understood, they haven't.
1t is very difficult matter to get evi
dence of poly gamous marriages, because
they are performed in secret. The L ,ah
commissioners. in their last annual report
stated that of the 357 convictions during
the year dealt with by the report, for
ofenses covered b. the laws against polyg-
amy, only two of ose found guilty were
prosecuted for polygamy. The offense for
which the Others were convicted vas I'M
lawful cohabitation. The punishment for
the latter crime is comparatively light,
being fine not 10 exceed $500 and impris-
onment not TO exceed six months. The
punishment for polygamy. however, is
much more severe. 1t is not improi abb
that majority of those convice ed OF the
former offense are guilty of the latter, buy
the evidence TO convict tnem of it IS
wa ting.
The New York Times calls attention to a
statement made few days ago by Presi-
dent Woodruff, the head of the Mormon
church. who declared that since the enact
ment of the Edmunds-T Tucker law the head
of the Mormon church had refused to
recommend plural marriages, and had
given instructions that they should not be
solemnized. 1t seems, however, tat they
are solemnized. On last Thursday, in Salt
Lake City, Hans Jesperson was tried on the
charge of polygamy, and convicted. His
second wife had confessed that she was
married to him in the endowment house in
Salt Lake, and on his trial he admitted that
the confession was true. President Wood
ruff, in speaking of this case, declared that
there was something connected with it that
he could not understand, and that he in
tended to probe it to the bottom. II the
marriage really occurred, as Jesperson
stated, President Woodruff ought to have
no difficulty in getting at the f. cts.
The Jesperson case justifes the suspicion
that polygamous marriage. are not uncom-
mon, but if they are not why should the
head of the Mormon church have made the
statement he did about plural marriages?
1t is not to be wondered at that Bishop
Leonard confesses that the Mormon ques-
ton puzzles him. 1t even puzzles the head
of the Mormon church if that official was
sincere in what he said about plural mar
riages. But was he sincere9

featuring charge against him, and by

need not feel alarmed.

The party that did not hesitate to steal
the presidency of 1876 would make no
bones of stealing the two United States
senatorships in Montana. Democrats need
not expect the Republican party to be
honest. 1t has grown fat upon official
swag, and has prospered upon corrup. ion,
and it will stoop to the lowest depths of
degradation to carry its points. The Mon
tana democrats should have borne this fact
in mind all along, and their present duty is to
do everything possible to foil the republic
ans in tue desperate scheme to capture the
Montana legislature.
