is certain, the destitution of last year will be
totally eclipsed by that OF this winter.

COMMISSIONER RAUM DENIES.
Says There is No Truth I'm the Latest
Story About Him-He VIII Not Resign

special telegram to the New York CONNER
cioi Adoertiser from this city yesterday said:
"A report, apparently well founded. is cur
rent today that recent developments in the
Pension Office scandal make IT very probable
that Pension Commissioner Raum's resignation
will soon be in the hands of the President Ii
Mr.. Raum does not resign his removal was
thought to be inevitable. The cause of this not
altogether unexpected turn of affairs is the
discovery that Mr.. Raum, in addition to his
universal refrigerator enterprise, has been en-
gagged III real estate transac tIuns that will not
bear inspection. Ii was with a view to bring
ing these real estate transactions out that MIR.
Cooper introduced his resolution asking that
the scope of the congressional investigation of
Mr.. Raum's official relations be extended"
When STAR reporter called at the Pension
Office this morning Commissioner Raum was in
his Office working diligently at pension business
and disposlng OF long line OF visitors appar-
entity oblivious of such matters as Investigations
and charges. He had not seen or heard anything
OF the latest story about him and his plans
until his attention called to il by the re-
porter, and he was asked if he had nything to
say aboutit
''WeIl, really, don't know that there is any,
thing for me TO say" answered Mr. Raum
There is not single word of truth IN the
whole story. have not resigned nor have
the slightest intention OF resIgning. l never
yet have run when under fire and have no i'll
tention OF beginning that sort of thing Just
now. 1t would hardly be proper to &c INTO this
matter i'll detail just now any further than to
deny II all. i have never committed an
official act Of which / have the least
reason for feeling ashamed. and desire the
fullest investigation. 1t will be very easy for
me TO clear myself Of all these charges against
me, and, what is more, 1 can prove that the
charges and the investigation are alike the re-
suits of malice and bad blood. That is really

of valuation in order to decide whether or not
the prices set by the owners of the lots are fair
He has not yet fixed upon the method he will
pursue in order to attain this end. but it is

advice of board of valuation. II the latter
method should bo necessary. however, there
will hardly be any difference in the personnel
of such board and one of condemnation. The

THE platform presented by The Ohio

THE platform presented by the Ohio
Democracy possesses one feature that
friend and foe should praise. There is
not an equivocal declaration In II. There
is nothing left for Interpretation varl-
ant in this or that district, as exigen-
cies might compel. IL is singular, not
duplex. There Is not even o slight
shuttle backward on the tariff. Taxes
must be based solely upon the necessi.
ties of revenue. Unayoidably, even in
herent In the process, protection must
be distributed Justly over the products
from which revenue Is derived. But
revenue is the constitutional motive of
taxation. To tax for protection solely
is an outrage, the usuiruct Of which
the monopolist enjoys, the burden Of
which the toiler bears.
The indictment Of the Force bill Is
scathing. Dead and decaying as this
measure of the New England Commune
Is, yet Democracy welcomes the ques-
tion for debate. If the Foraker cabal
decide that it is an issue the Democ-
racy will pause only 10 celebrate It's
good fortune. The canvass will involve
The two paramount doctrines OF just
taxation and self.goyernment and
upon such issues 1t would be insulting
IN intelligent population to doubt the
result.
