ignorant man in America; for every other
man knows that the pension Office is rot
ten and has been ever since it has been
under the direction of GREEN B. RAUM.
Congressman COOPER clearly demonstrated
this during the house investigation last
winter, and it took all Car REEDS power
TO prevent the condemnatory report being
presented to the house.
1t would seem that the country and the
administration had been long enough
scandalized by RAUM to induce the presi-
dent to take action, merely for the sake OF
saving his own reputation if nothing else.
The conduct of RAUM has been the most
shameful in the history of American pub
lie affairs; it completely overshadows the
corruption of BELKNAP and RoBEsoN, and
stands monumental as an example of Of
fetal malfeasance.
President HARRISON can no longer es-
cape censure in this matter. Tons of
printed evidence are at his disposal to
prove that RAUM has sold promotions and
appointments, turned the office over to
the pension sharks and participated in
the robbery of the country's dependent de-
tenders. He has compelled clerks to take
stock in worthless financial ventures in
order to retain their positions or secure
advancement, has made rulings to
aid the pension sharks upon the
payment to himself of large sums of
money, and has gone on the witness
stand and sworn falsely as to his conduct
in the premises. RAUM has not only COM
mitted gross ofenses of public nature
but in the attempt to cover them up he
has been guilty of crimes under the
vulgar penal law. In the pension Office
he has been a swindler and oppressor OF
his clerks, receiver of brides and the
robber OF the country's wards under his
direct supervision. He has violated the
civil service, the pension and the tenure
of office laws. Under nearly all the
enactments of congress and the states he
is an outlaw.
All these things President HARRISON
knows, and knows well. He knew them
months ago. Every time, during his late
trip, when he greeted q delegation oil
veterans, he knew that he was retaining
in office a man whose chief aim IN
life was TO despoil those veterans
OF the money they had earned
with their blood and limbs. When he
spoke Of their services to the country he
knew that he was retaining in C4Iice man
who was depriving them OF large share
az their reward for those eervicez
knowing all these things, as he well
does. President HARRIsoN can no longer
escape responsibility and he should nc
longer escape accountability. 1t is his
sworn duty to keep the Offices in proper
hands and he cannot longer evade that
duty.
II RAUM is still in Office when congress
meets next December the house should
promptly impeach the president

The President Ia Respons,bIe.

Secretary NOBLE has made good but
very small beginning in the work of clean
ing out the pension bureau. Young RAUM,
who has been removed for EN- bezzlement,
never ought to have been in the office.
Being there, he was only following the ex-
ample of his father in making all he could
out OF it. But he was young yet and had
not learned his fathers trick of avoiding
conflict with the penal laws. If he had
had greater opportunities he might event
ually have equaled, OF perhaps excelled,
his paternal ancestor in the art OF
robbing the public and not laying
himself liable TO prosecution in vulgar
courts of law. But he was making com
mendable beginning when his career was
cut short by Secretary MOBILES order.
After this fresh and fragrant scandal it
will be interesting TO know what the pres
ident intends doing about the pension Of.

regard for economy and frugality which
belongs to sturdy Americanism, indie
pendence which relies upon personal en-
deavor, and the love of an honest and
well-regulatedg government, all ofwhich lie
at the foundation OF our free institutions.
The danger TO American institutions in
liberation OF this gross public extravaganza
is neither assumed nor imaginary. 1t is
real and ever present. threatening the very
foundations of our government. There
can be no safety for people who permit
their servants to recklsssly waste the pub
lie funds or pervert the proceeds OF tax
alton TO private uses. This reckless public
extravaganza is well described by Mr..
CLEVELAND when he says:
1t is the most fatal of all the deadly
brood born OF governmental perversion. 1t
hides beneath its wings the betrayal of the
peoples trust and holds powerless in its
fascinating glance the peoples will and
conscience. 1t brazenly exhibits today a
billion dollar congress. But lately large
surplus remained in the peoples public
treasury after meeting all expenditures
then by no means economical. This con-
dition was presented to the Am erican
people as positive proof that their burden
of taxation was unjust because unneces-
ssry and yet while tue popular protest is
still heard, the harpy of public extrava-
gance devours the surplus and impudently
calls upon its staggering victims to bring
still larger supplies within the reach of its
insatiate appetite.
Taxation only to meet the expenses OF
the government, economically admins
tered" is the only salvation OF the people
from the danger to which Mr.. CLEVELAND
calls attention. We believe the people
are already convinced of the truth OF this
assertion and that they have not yet be.
come so indifferent to their danger as to
be powerless to throw off the letters al
ready cast about them. We believe that
next year the people will arouse from
their stupor and forever Danish from
power those who have been engaged in
the perversion of the government from
its proper functions. We believe also
| that GROVER CLEVELAND will be the in
strument chosen by the people with
which to strike death blow at public ex
| travagance.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
Celebration of It's Seventy Fifth Anniver-
sary at New YORK.

New YORK, May lS.-The American
bible society celebrated its seventy fifth
anniversary today. Gen. Joshua A. Cham
berlain, ex-governor of Maine, presided.
A large attendance of clergymen was
present, among them some from Great
Britain aud Canada. An interesting and
pathetic incident took place during the
meeting. OF the sixty delegates who were
present at the organization of the society
seventy-five years ago, but two were liy-
ing on Monday. They were the Rev. j..
ID. Wickham OF Vermont and the Rev. DIR.
Vermily of this city. The former wrote the
secretary personal letter last week and
enclosed program of the anniversary ex-
ercises. On Monday letter was received
from Mrs. Wlckham, who explained that
her husband was unable to use his pen,
but had dictated to her the letter. The
letter was reminiscent and went back TO
the time of the society's organization in
1916. At the meeting today a telegram
was received announcing the death OF Mr..
Wickham. The other surviving member,
the Rev. DR.. Thomas Eyermilye, was pres
ent at the meeting tonight IN Chlckering
hall and pronounced the benediction.

Now IT is said that Secretary NOBLE
and not Commissioner RAUM will have to
90; that the pension sharks have got the
upper hand, and that the man who has
partially stood between them and the
treasury will be forced to retire. RAUM
has got several bureau heads in the in
terror department to join him, and with
the aid of the land thieves, subsidized
railroads and pension sharks they hope to
get the scalp of the only man in the presl-
dents cabinet who, because of both abil-
ity and integrity, has the respect and con-
fidence of the people. Succeeding in this
effort, this precious gang OF public rascals
have every reason to expect freedom from
future interference with their schemes of
plumber and pillage. Then they will loot
the treasury OF even the canvas sacks in
which the coin is now contained and steal
the very pins with which the silver GER
tificates are stuck together. The Credit
Mobilier and whisky ring scandals will
sink into utter insignificance beside the
colossal thievery to be practiced if RAUM
and his bashi-bazouks win in the present
struggle with Secretary NOBLE. And the
worst of it is that President HARRIsoN's
course regarding the Raum scandals In
the past give every indication that NOBLE
will be defeated now. In that event il
will not be "GoD help the surplus, but

THE Michigan City Dispatch says of
HARRIsoN TAsKER, a negro who was sent
TO the penitentiary for twenty-one years
from this city in 1856 for a criminal as
sault upon a white girl, and who was par
doned by Governor HovEY q few days
ago:
During the whole period of his confine-
ment in the penitentiary TAsKER has been
more or less obstreperous, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that he has had to be
punished more frequently than any other
inmate. The prison authorities had no
intimation that the convict was even
seeking a pardon, and they were greatly
astonished when an absolute and uncon-
ditional release was received from Gov
ernor HOvEY. So far as the records go
there was no man in the institution less
worthy of clemency than TAsKER.
THE SENTINEL has never been disposed
20 be captious in its criticisms upon the
exercise of the pardoning power. 1t we'll
knows that many persons, under the an
tiquated penal system of Indiana, receive
sentences disproportionate to their of.
jurors OF Of public clamor. There are fire.
quently circumstances which must plead
in behalf of prisoner with force which
no man of tender heart and fine sensibili-
ties can resist. 1t is always better to err
on the side OF mercy than against it, and
we believe that many executives have
been criticised for the granting of pardons
which were altogether creditable to them.
But Governor HovEY has granted par
dons in a number. of cases in which
there seems to have been no redeeming
features. The case of TAsKER appears 10
be one of these. The offense of which he
was convicted was an aggravated one, and,
if guilty, the punishment accorded him
was not excessive. His prison record is
bad, and the fellow is evidently brute
There could have been no adequate
ground for his pardon. unless in the dis
covery of facts tending to establish his in.
nocence of the crime for which he wa.
sent to prison or at least to create strong
presumption of it. 1t would be interest.
ing to know what influences were exerted
so successfully in this mans behalf with
the governor.

A CURRENT dispatch from Chicago reads

WHAT an inconsistent creature man is,
to be sure. The world holds up its
hands in holy horror at the conduct
of the Chinese, who are massa-
creing Europeans in the effort to drive out
foreigners Yet every country in christen-
dom is seeking to accomplish the same end
by one means OF another, and in each such
a course is deemed highly commend
able. We are all inclined to think we have
sacred rights in every other mans coun-
try, even though we concede him none in
our own. The principle in this matter
seems to be that whats yours is mine,
