Putting Out the Pension Pirates.

Crowding out the insatiablv rapacious
mendable reforms that the House commit
tee on pensions has yet undertaken. Re
ducing their fee from $40 TO SO would do
great deal toward Kidding the departments
of these pestiferous vampires who grow
rich by getting between the beneficiary and
the bounty which the government would
award him without the aid of any inter-
mediary il those to whom such benefits are
due would make their applications direct.
This action Of the committee is mere COM
plianoe with the demands of public opinion.
These pension sharks have come to be
intolerable. They not only prey upon the
pensiouer, but are continually clamoring
for all sorts Of wildcat legislation that is
without any honest or even reasonable
basis, but merely designed to satisfy their
own Unsuitable greed.
Taking courage from the course Of the
| committee, Secretary Noble has announced
that those vnltures are not at all essential TO
the consideration and passing of pension
| claims. and assures applicants that their
papers will be quite as promptly examined
| without passing the hands of these CORNER
ants At the same time il were as we'll to
point out that such discrimination in
favor of certain agents by examiners is the
chief defect that has fastened this iniqui-
tous evil upon the department. Without
that they could never have gained the firm
footing they now have.
| States having an adju tant general have
I A. Il
verify aud forward all pension papers sub
mitted to him free Of cost. 1t is an ex-
cellent idea- 1t rescues applicants from the
clutches of those sharks who do nothing for
the claimant but send him government
blanks which he could get from the de-
partment himself, and then collect fee
when his pension is allowed without doing
anything to earn it,
1t is to be hoped that both the committee
and the secretary may prove not only
sincere but aggressively active in
following up their declarations of reform.
But if they do that what is to become
of the republican hsckneyed appeal to the
''old soldier vote" That was the best string
in their battered old harp, and they had been
twanging it In and out of tune for 10 these
many years.

What cunning young rascals some school
boys are, to be sure. Assuming the identity
of girl, Pittsburg urchin recently wrote
love letters to another boy in the same
school, and. after much quiet fun, had pro-
ceeded to the proposition that the gallant
youth should take him to the theater and
pay all expenses, when, by accident, the
teacher ''swiped" the billet-doux and shat
tered the imitation romance. Nothing slow
about the boy who played girl He knew
where the candy and the matinee tickets
come in. Cute lad.

Imagining herself an angel, an Essex
street servant girl in New York tried to
flap her wings and soar to New Jersey. But
she found they wouldn't flap. Every time
she tried to soar she thumped her shins on
the curb stone, and struck the tagging with
q thump that it made her head sore. If she
is so anxious for a flap, she had better
tackle the uncrious and wholesome flapiack.
Something comforting about that.

quarreled and divided into three parties.
Glave started for New York in disgust,

Wyoming is reported to have made the

State Senator Chatterton near Saratoga.

cred a six-foot vein of silver ore that ASSAYS
not less than 5000 to the ton. This mine is
across the Platte river from Brush creek,
where the gold finds have been mace. and

MAN OF NERVE.
He Gets Even On a Bunco Steerer an,
Sends Him to Prison.

40 0ees Even Oh buncO Steerer and
Sends Him to Prison.
New YORK, May 3d.-"Colonel' Charles
+. Morgan, one of the most polite and sue
cessful of bunco steerers, met sad reverse
of fortune to-day. He is one of three men
who met Richard A. E. Goebler, the Mon
tana barber, several months ago and sue
ceeded in obtaining 81. $50 from him in a
bunco game. The barber is a small man
but he carried very large revolver under
permit from Inspector Byrnes. He ar
rested George Johnson, one of the men last
January. Goebler secured the arrest of
Morgan on February 10th. Morgan was
held at the Police Court for trial.
A few day days afterward Edward Eaton
and some other friends of Morgan, had a
meeting with Goebler in Jersey City, and
after some talk they gave him 81, $50, the
amount of his losses, bought him ticket
to San Francisco, and handed him $40 for
pocket money.
Goebler boarded west bound train and
the confidence men felt relieved. They
had not, however, got rid of their foe.
Goebler stopped at Chicago, made things
lively in that city for time, and appar.
emily disposed of his money rapidly, for
in less than month he was again in New
York, and, according to the statements OF
the confidence men, demanded S.. 600 and
ticket to Europe.
He did not receive that amount and he
went before the Grand Jury in Morgan
case. Morgan concluded to plead guilty
rather than face the barber as a witness.
He was taken before Judge MARITIME to.
day for sentence. Under his plea of guilty
of an attempt at grand larceny in the first
degree Judge MARITIME gave him two years
and six months in the State Prison. The
Montana barber was in Court to hear the
bunco man sentenced.

the American Federated Trades. The labor
leaders did not expect universal acaui-
escence on the part of the bosses, so they
chose that organization which is the strong
est all over the country-the Carpenters
and Joiners' Union--and used it as an en-
tering wedge of the movement. The result
has met all their anticipations.
About bakers dozen out of It's boss
carpenters have signed petition dissent
ing to the proposed reduction of hours, but
they will have to come in sooner OF later.
The situation in this city may now be
summed up as follows: The trades that
have gained the eight hours are the car
penters and joiners, plasterers for twenty.
four years past. cigar-makers. four years
past, plumbers and gas6tters.
Those working nine hours are the fathers,
brewers, bricklayers and millmen. The
latter will wait until the LIST Of July before
demanding eight hours.
