President Harrisons decision to trans.
fer Pension Commissioner Tanner to
some other post in the government ser
vice will greatly strengthen the admins
tration. In view Of the strength of the
Grand Army element, its ardent affection
and admiration for Corporal Tan
ner, and the impossibility of
predicting at any time how decisive
step will be regarded by a large
body Of men in whom the spirit of or
ganization is high. this is perhaps the
most courageous act Of the administra
ton to date. II will convince millions of
Mr.. Harrison's fellow citizens that he is
thoroughly in earnest in his purpose to
have a model administration, and that he
will tolerate nothing that interferes with
the realization Of his idea of his duty.

Mr.. Senator Colqultt OF Georgia is
probably correct in his report that in his
state the appointments by the present
Administration have not been popular
and especially because in number Of
cases residents Of the state have been re
moved and replaced by men who were
not residents. As yet, although the
President has been very Industrious in
making changes it is quite impossible to
detect any signs Of his having a consist
emit policy in the South, unless it be that
Of using the shattered remnants of the
old John Sherman machine to
construct Harrison machine Probably
there has never been in any modern state
more hopeless and desperately corrupt
body Of men than those who were ap
pointed to places under the Federal
Government in the interest of Mr.. Sher
men. That high-minded patriot. we are
happy to say, was persistently and ride
ulousiy betrayed by these men, and we
have no doubt that Mr. Harrison will be
betrayed Also unless he can contrive ia

History relates that when the British
general, Ross, received his mortal wound
at the storming Of North Point che
threw up his hands and fell off his horse
to the ground The practical warrior
who impersonated the ill-starred Britisher
in yesterdays sham battle decided to dis
regard the orders to inject this bit Of
realism into his part. He looked
on the rain soaked, muddy battle
field, and then on his brave, immaculate
uniform. Should he soil itY Never he
swore, BY the girl whose heart it had won
him. SO he provided a stretcher bearer
to be in at his demise, and, when the
death-laden bullet winged itself to his
heart, the gallant warrior slid gracefully
from his charger into his comrades arms
and, holding his coat tails up out Of til,
mud, like a soldier died.

THE Lancaster New Era says that
'only a well-paid lawyer or Innate
would advocate" bungling hanging
rather than "a well-delivered current Of
electricity" Suppose the current is not
well, but bunglingly delivered, why
would bungling electricity be preferable
to bungling hangingf The objec-
tiou seems to lie against bungling
and novice may bungle worse
with electricity than with rope. 1t
does not matter particularly how such
criminals as were lately executed in New
York leave the world so they leave it.
There are those who object to any sort Of
execution whatever and to such peopl,
there is no method which will be satisfac
tory so long as it deprives the world o.
what they seem to consider valuabl,
