THE PENSION BUREAU.

The objections to Corporal TANNER
in the pension office did not grow out of
lack of personal integrity, OF of undue
reticence in regard to the operations of
the bureau. He is quite competent as
witness, and it is probable the Demo
cratic congress next winter will invite
him to talk freely of what he knows.
He has been in position, since he re-
tired to oblige his superiors, to observe
the condition and methods of the pen
sion department. He has recently felt
it his duty to express something of the
opinion his information has forced him
to entertain. 1t is severe statement
that it has become den of thieves, but
that is not an unfair inference from the
views expressed by the eX-commission-
er. He alleges that the pension Office
under the RAUM management has be-
come an asylum for political tramps
and beggars, and many of the employees
are "Sples. conSpiratOrS, liars and
worse" His view further takes this
shape:
There is good deal of dead timber there
in the shape of helpless and useless clerks.
1HeH lhere are Otner people tnere VINO ought
to be dispensed with for other reasons. The
pension office is used by some public men as
an asylum where they can place their impe.
cunious and almost helpless friends and con-
stituents and have them we'll cared for at the
public expense
He has no personal feeling toward his
successor, and would modify any unfa-
yorable opinion by dividing the respon-
sibility with the secretary of the inte-
rior. The latter is liable to overrule the
commissioner, and force into the Office
much of the bad material. While TAN.
NER, however, is talking about the
present condition of the bureau, nc
harm will be done if RAUM and NOBLE
speak of the management when TAN.
NER was there. II will no doubt be al,
legged that it was not model.

GOOD RACING IN MUD.
The Morris Stable Keeps Up Its
Winning Gait

GRAvEsEND, May 29.-This was the
last day but one OF the meeting here.
and the attendance did not number all
told over 5000 persons. This latter fact
was accounted for by the heavy fall of
rain that commenced early in the morn
ing and lasted until after ~ O'Clock.
The track was of course a sea of mud
and water, but it was not at all holding.
as is proved by the good time most of
the races were won in. The Morris
stable horses were again prominent
factors in their respective races,
and won two events, including the
Fort Hamilton handicap, and finished
third with Peruvian in the first race.
Hypatica. their filly, by Woodlands, out
of Maggie b B, that won the second
race, was entered to be sold for 81, SEQ.
and was bought by Chris Smith, West
ern plunger, for s., 900. Raceland made
his fist appearance for the year in the
fifth race, and the best he could do was
to finish second to Chesapeake. He is
very much on the big side just at pres
ent and needs race or two to get in
condition.
