there will be a timber famine in

The complications over the pension COM
missionership during Mr.. Harrison's term
have brought out displays of what we hope
are as low deeps of craftsmanship as the
country will ever see. We have complex
system of pension laws, passed at various
periods, and certainly requiring high Or
der of ability in their first Interpretation.
Under them there is annually distributed an
amount of money greater than the national
debt of 1860. A million of people are di-
rectly, and sixty five millions indirectly, in
terested in the construction of those laws,
and in the office rules and practice neces-
sary in carrying them OUT.
In the face of these facts the president
chose a commissioner known not to be a
lawyer or a business man-known only, in
fact, as an advocate of republicanism and
of more and larger pensions. His admins
tration of the Office was almost necessarily
a scandal and series of scandals from the
first. Such phrases as "God pity the sur
plus p were followed by acts of plumber
that would disgrace war times. The law
was utterly disregarded. All that the presi-
dent is recorded as having said in the way
of caution to the commissioner is: "Don'i
talk too much,H for the commissioner had
been as reckless with his tongue as with the
laws and the public money.
Now that Tanner is out the search for his
successor-if not already over when these
lines are printed-is not for man capable
of filling the office well but wholly for one
who will do Tanners work, but do it more
discreetly. Some one who will go on distri,
buting public money to retain or purchase
the soldier vote, yet do it in such way as
not to alarm the balance of the people. We
do not recall presidential behavior like this

A Rotten Administration.

We alluded yesterday to the fearless
manner in which the Washington Post, a
republican organ, arraigns Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt for grossly viola
ting and disregarding the rules of the civil
service, and we published several of the
Posts charges. Here is another which we
clip from that paper of yesterday:
sThe Post charges that three-fourths of
the clerks employed by the commission OF
which Roosevelt is a member never passed
the examination, but were appointed by
personal influence, because of acquaint-
anceship with the members of the commits
sion, and for other reasons such as those
employed by ''spoilsmen' and Machine
politicians Mr.. Roosevelt does not deny
this. He does not deny the charge OF the
Post that the examination question pre-
pared bg the commission aoere furnished OUT
side parties before the examinations a0ere
held"
That is the way things connected with
civil service reform are conducted at WASH
ington by Roosevelt and his corrupt COM
mission, and right under the nose and eyes
of President Harrison and his cabinet.
A more corrupt and abusive admins
tration than the present one at washington
has never been in power, and it will go Out
sinking in the nostrils of the American
people.-Lynch. Adrance.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1889-10-09

If the negroes read newspapers and could
reason upon what they saw therein as the
white people do, there would be some use
in telling them, what every welilnformed
white Virginian knows, that Gen. Malone,
before ne conceived the idea of profiting by
their votes, was the most proscriptive dem
ocrat in Virginia, and acted upon the idea
that negroes, as voters, had no rights that
white men should respect. But as they
neither read nor think, it isn't worth while
to tell them that Gen. Malone petitioned
the legislature to disfranchise them; that he
bulldozed them SO that the government had
to send troops to Petersburg to protect
them on election days that he hived them
in coal mines and kept them there until the
close of the polls; that he sent train-loads of
them to repair imaginary railroad damages
and "kiiled'' the engines so that they could
not get back in time to vote, and that he
offset their majority with tissue ballots.
No, SO foolishly prejudiced are they, that
if they knew all this, and worse, they would
still cast solid vote for him, as they will
for Gen. Chalmers, who massacred their
race by thousands at Fort Pillow. A 20
gro was recently heard to say that ho chad
no confidence in the Republican leaders and
knew that they were only after place and
money; he had made up his mind that
when the bulk of the whites go one way he
would go the other, and that he was deter
mined always and under all circumstances
to vote agains the whites" There is Meth
er use nor sense in talking to such people !;
solid white vote is the only means of
keeping them in the right place.
