RAUM's INVESTIGATION.

A Committee Appointed to Look Alter
| the Commissioner NJ Pensions.
A committee OF the house has heen
appointed for the purpose of investi-
eating Mr.. Raum. There is little doubt
as to the need OF such investigation,
but the committee should be allowed
to extend its inquiries beyond the
merely personal transactions OF the
pension commissioner The private
speculations of Raum have little to do
with the great scandals that have made
his administration notorious save as
they may lead TO conclusions as to
Raum's relations with those known in
Washington rs members of the pension
ring. What enormous profits these
pension sharks have made within a
few years is common talk at the CAPT.
tai IL the house committee shall be
able to lay bare even . moiety of such
frauds It will have performed a great
service to the country. When it is un.
derstood that the number Of pension.
ers exceeds 500, 900, and that this Is to
be increased to more than q round mil
lion within the year.. 1t will be seen
that something must be rotten in Dem
mark. A quarter Of q century after
the close Of the war the pension list IL
to exceed in numbers the roll OF thu
federal army at any one time. Tho
bare statement is proof of frauds that
are disgraceful TO honest pensioners
and wickedly burdensome to the peo-
pie.
The committee will discover in the
course of their work that many vet
Grams in Washington and throughout
the country will aid them in uncover
ing some of the schemes by which tho
pension office has been disgraced.
There is an organization Of old veter-
ans ut Washington whose members are
earnest in their determination to stop
pension frauds before they shall have
destroyed the entire system. To these
old soldiers the committee may appeal
with certainty Of valuable assistance.

II Is unlikely. 1t has happened IN

men have SO pinned their faith to o

to follow him In the forlorn hope of
success but quite ready 10 follow him
to certain defeat and 10 aid him in

Of such devotion. The hold which the
politician has on his followers Is based
very largely on the hope of something
for themselves; and when that incen-
tive loses its force attachment wanes.
So long as Mr. Hill Is in the field with
a reasonable prospect of success he can
count on q more or less enthusiastic

that upon Major Derrom depends the vic

him, while Colonel Campbell's friends
are equally confident.
Lieutenant Brientnall nominated Col
Campbell. and Colonel Abernethy nomi-
mated Colonel Wanser. The ballot was a
secret one, but IL was learned shortly
after the votes had been counted, that
Colonel Campbell had voted for
porters were Lieutenant Brlentnall
Major Hoyt and Colonel Moore
of the Second. Colonel Abernethy,
Lieutenant-Colonel Mason, Lieutenant
Colonel Mussy and Major Smith voted
