The Rotten Pension Bureau.

Another scandalous aspect'of Pres
dent Harrison's scandalous admins
tration is exposed by the Philadel-
phia Times, a paper which certainly
cannot be accused Of rabid partisan
ship, supporting as it has done at
least half the Republican administra-
tions Of the last twenty years. Its
Washington correspondent has been
digging into the slough of the PEN
sion Bureau and he has obtained
conclusive proof as to the n in
which it is being used for political
purposes.
1t is needless to say that Indiana is
a doubtful State" Cleveland carried
it in 1881 and Harrison in 1888. 1t is
absolutely essential TO the Republican
party, and money and work have
level been spared to secure it. In past
years the money has been that of Mr..
Wanamaker's millionaire friends in
Philadelphia Now the g. 0. p. has
hit on an improvement, and hence
forward Uncle Sans money is to be
used to secure the 'tdoaters' and
blocks Of five.n The work is now
being done through the agency
OF the Pension Bureau. The Times
has obtained positive evidence
that the State Of Indiana has been
most preposterously preferred in the
matter OF pensions v e other States
The State of Pennsylvania has 40, 57S
pensioners in 1856, 1917 soldiers or l in q;
New York has 80, 206 pensioners in
457, 047 soldiers, or l in 8; Ohio has
57,0s7 pensioners out of 316. $50 sol
diers, or / In 8; Massachusetts, has 3D.
s97 pensioners in 152. 048 soldiers, or 1
in 7; Illinois has 9,943 pensioners in
$50, lat soldiers. or ! in z; while In
diana has Al. 798 pensioners in 1871, i47
soldiers, or / in every 4.
Indiana's proportion OF pensioners
is therefore nearly double that of
Massachusetts, Illinois and Pennsyi-
yania, andsmore than double that OF
New York. and n person out OF
every f~orty-seven now living in the
State OF Indiana is on the list.

THE Newark Advertiser has been in
spasms of agony the last week or two
over the prospect of the State being
flooded with rum as a consequence of
the recent election. 1t pretends to
think that all existing laws are to be
repealed, and the demon of Drink
is to stalk unfettered through the
community. 1t is hardly worth the
Advertisers while to have spasms just
now. There is no political campa ign
on, and so nothing can be gained by
picturesque fiction. 1t might as well
wait and see what the Democratic
Legislature really does. If there is
any very bad legislation, it will be
better for the Advertiser to have its
adjectives fresh and new. Second
hand bowls are cheap and Ineffective.
On the other hand, if there is no
liquor legislation at all, or practically
none, the Advertiser will have less ex-
planning and backing water to do.

People who are not willing to OBJ
serve the simple rules which differen-
tiate the usefulness of various sorts of
dress should have only one kind. The
woIna who wears out her old recep-
ton gowns in the morning, or who
allows herself to be seen in a neglige
toilet after midday, should be denied
the luxury of either. But how com-
mon are both of these sins? The rise
and fall of the tea gown points a
moral. Never buy clothes which you
have no proper opportunity for e
ing just because they are pretty

THE disappearance of John Duhr-
koop puts the Hoboken authorities in
a most painful light. 1t looks as If a
little money and a little pull were
sufficient to secure any scoundrel i'm
munity in that city. There was
Flesey the murderer. His accomplish
was arrested and is now in Trenton
paying the penalty OF his crime. But
Flesey had rich and Influential rela-
tiyes, and the police could never find
him.
1t is generally understood among
honest folk that there would not have
been the slightest trouble in getting
him, but the police deliberately let
him escape.
In the Ease Of this fellow, Duhrkoop,
Mr.. Recorder McDonough seems to be
very largely TO blame; but the police
are guilty too. They knew how i'm
portant a criminal he was, and they
should never have let him out of
sight. At any cost they ought to
trace him up and bring him back for
trial now, in order that the evilly dis
posed may see that justice is not a
mockery in Hcboken.

EARLY ARRANGEMENTS

This is the way the True American
gets square with the State Gazette,
which has been worrying it a good
deal OF late:-
Our somnolent contemporary-need we say
the state Gazette-publishes with evident pride
a letter from a garruious correspondent who
tells OF the pleasure he felt on finding that a re-
cent number of the Gazette was the same old
Wing paper. advocating the same old principles
as when we all shouted for '"rippscanoe and
Tyler, too.' How truly pleasant it must have
been to this Rip Van Wrinkle to find that there
was at least one thing which had not changed
in fifty years.
But that is the way with the Re-
publican party. 1t has seen nothing
and learned nothing since the War.
