study and practice of medicine for
seven years. Were it otherwise, that
pension examiners were required to
be graduates for five years, or more,
the gentlemen named of the retiring
board were ineligible and all of their
examinations, and the pension receiv-
ed and also the increase of pensions
have been illegal. The remuneration
which they received was not just and
they would be indebted to the Gov
eminent for whatever amount re-
ceived the same as the pensioners for
the amount they received. This,
however, is not a fact and the law only
requires that pension examiners shall
have been practitioners of medicine
five years. The retiring board are
men of prominence in the profession
against whom no adverse criticism
has been offered. But the admins
ton by which they were appointed
has had an end, and the people
through their present Representative,
Mr.. Lisle, have only expressed pre-
ference in favor of other gentlemen
The gentlemen named by Mr.. Lisle

BILE gentlemen, and will make efficient
Government officials. They are all

A candidate has right TO announce
himself for Office when he pleases and
how he will. We do not propose to
question his right to do this.
But we doquestion his right, when
asking for Democratic nomination,
to announce himself in a Republican
paper, when there are two Democratic
papers here through the columns OF
which he can reach every Democratic
voter i'll the county. We say no Dem
ocratic candidate, as such, has the
right to give his money to the support
of a Republican paper and then in the
final race expect the Democratic paper
TO spend money and much exertion to
pull him through, because of the fight
that this Same Republican paper
makes on hiut. 1t seems to us that il
would take no great degree of discern
ment for Democratic candidates who
want the cordial support of their Dem
ocratic papers to perceive that they
must not give to the enemy ammunition
with which to fight them.

Candidates are already beginning tC
announce themselves for offices to be
filled at the November, 1894, election.
This they have perfect right
soto do. We have no right
10 gainsay them. But, whilst we &C
cord to them the right to do as they
wish i'll this matter, we claim the
right TO say our say about this early
announcement for Office.
We have no desire to injure any
ones prospects; in fact, some of those
most active are our warmest friends
but we do intend to say that we think
such precipitate action on the part OF
candidates is putting in jeopardy the
success OF the party in the county. We
have, under our new and--as YET
untried system of voting-to face a
new order Of things that some in
telligent men seem determined to
close their eyes to. The large majority
of the best class of Democratic voters
of the county are open in their de-
nunciation of long political scrambel
for the offices to be voted for more
than year hence. Many of the best
and most conservative business men
of the city and county declare they
will not take part in another primary,
held many months before a final cleo
ton. Would it not be the act of
wisdom on the part of those who
want office to heed the wishes of a
class of voters whose good opinion
every aspirant for office desires?
People are worn out with the inces-
SAINT pulling and hauling of candi-
dates, and want rest. We warn our
friends, the candidates. that they may
wake up some fine morning and real
ize they have made very grave mis-
take in pressing their claims upon peo-
pie who are not in humer to listen
10 them. Call halt on this matter,
gentlemen-we are firmly persuaded
it will be to your best interest to do so.
Now donot misunderstood lis. 1t is I'm
deniably your right to annouce your
selves it you so desire, and since the
newspaper man has his space for sale |
as long as you want it for Legitimate |
purposes, he will sell it to you and be
glad of the opportunity; but we re-
beat, we are fully persuaded it is to
your best interest and to the
BEST interest of our. common par
y. as we see it, for you to 60 slow in

Secretary Hoke Smith, some days
ago, in speaking ofpension examiners
said 1t would be his object to gel
young blood in the service. Young
men of high standing in their profes.
sion would receive preferment. And
again on the 8 inst, the following in
regard to Pension Examining Sur.
geons appeared in the Courier-Journal
of the 9 instant:
The question of recognizing the
Boards of Pension Eexaming Surgeons
throughout the country is just now
under consideration by Secretary
Smith, Commissioner Lochren and
Deputy Commissioner Murphy.
There are 1850 Of these boards, each
containing three members, and their
work is very important factor in the
administration of the pension laws
and in the adjudication of claims.
Officials Of the department state that
careful examinations have revealed
incompetence aud gross carelessness
in the work of these boards, and in
some instances the evidence indicates
that improper influences have been
successfully applied to secure reports
in pension claims favorably to the APP
plicants. In view of these facts it has
been decided to give this branch of
the service general overhauling.
While no formal plan of reorganiza-
ton has been announced, it is stated
to be the purpose of Commissioner
Lochren, with the approval Of the
Secretary, to appoint on these boards
only men who stand in the very front
rank of the profession in their respec-
tive localities, and men who keep well |
abreast of the times in medical science
Another inflexible condition to APP
pointment will be that of
unquestioned integrity. An
official, in speaking of the matter to-
day, said that recommendations by
men of known character in the medi-
cal profession would be more effica-
,iouS in securing appointments on
pension boards than if made by poll
,icians. The active work of reorgani-
iation will soon be begun.
This has no bearing on the board
lere, only that because of loose meth
IDS Of other boards, the work of
will be made universal.

DENVER HEADQUARTERS
1t Includes Arizona, New Mexico

This Change Has Been Urged For Year
Past as it Is Believed it VIII Effect
Economy and Facilitate tho
Disbursement OF Supplies.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The president
before leaving Washington yesterday
signed an order reorganizat1ng the mill
tary department of Arizona under the
name of the DEPARTMENT. of Colorado, with
headquarters at Denver. The Depart
ment of Arizona consisted of the terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona and
that portion of California south of the
Both parallel. The new order abolishes
the Department of Arizona and places
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado
in the new department. California is re-
stored to the Department of California
with headquarters at San Francisco.
This change has been urged by the
military authorities for a year past. The
headquarters of the department, Arizona,
were at Los Angeles placing General
McCook, commanding the department at
the extreme western part of his depart
ment. This caused great delay in COM
municating with headquarters at Wash
ingtoh, as all matters IN his section were
sent to him and by him to Washington.
With headquarters at Denver. he will be
at the extreme east of his department,
and in the closest communication with
Washington. This, it is believed, will
effect economy in time and money, and
greatly facilitate the disbursement in
supplies and ammunition. General Nc
Cook will command the new department.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The Columbian Ath-
letic club of Chicago has about clinched
the International heavyweight champion
ship battle between Corbett and Mitchell.
Corbett had already signed conditional
articles of agreement to fight Mitchell
before the Coney Island club for purse
OF $4,000. President O'Malley OF the
Columbian club felt sure that Mitchell
would never consent to fight before
the Coney Island club if there was
any way out of it, so he started
agents after Mitchell and in the mean
time secured Corbett's signature to an
agreement which in effect states that If
Mitchell viii not accept the Coney Island
agreement he ICorbettl will accept the
terms of the Columbian Athletic club,
namely S45, 600. Furthermore if Mitchell
should default and fail to meet him for
the title of heavyweight champion of
the world he agrees to take on in Mitch
clips place Peter jackson.
