VETERANS COMPLAIN.
The Management of the Soldiers Home
Will Probably be Investigated.


The Regular Soldiers Home at Washington
is not charitable institution like the voiun-
teer Homes, but is supported by the enlisted
men of the Army, from the pay of each of
whom 12l cents is deducted every month. The
officers of the Home are retired Army officers.
and many Of the methods of the Regular Army
are practiced on the inmates.
Recently, it is said, many of the soldiers
have been discharged from the Home because
the Surgeon, after curs0ry examination, pro-
nounced them able to earn a living at manual
labor. There appears to be no authority Of
law for such summary proceeding. and the old
veterans are making vigorous protest. The
management are also accused of furnishing
poor food, when the Home farm provides nearly
everything consumed by the soldiers; and the
officers are also charged with furnishing their
own tables from the Home farm, of course
getting the best of everything.
The veterans also say that they are afraid to
complain, fearing they also will be sent adrift :;
that any complaint they might make receives
no attention whatever from the management,
aud upon the Sigh test provocation they are put
in the guard-hoUse.
On the other hand, the managers assert that
the veterans have nothing else to do but find
something to object about aud that their food
is as good IS is furnished at any second-class
hotel ia the country, and that the men are
properly treated if they behave themselves
which many Of them do not do.
This Home has had several Investigations
but all of the reports made have shown that
the Home was properly managed. In one of
these investigations however, made several
years ago, it WIS clearly proved that the Board
Of Commissioners composed of the Adjutant-
General, the Commissary- General, the Quar-
termaster-Ge and the Judge Advocate
Genersl) had been furnished with vegcta-
bles and fruit from the Home farm. An in
vestigatiou will probably be made.

POLITICIANS SURPRISED.
President Cleveland Fills the New Yol
Offices.


President Cleveland Fills the New York
Offices.
The announcement was made from the White
House on Friday, July %, that james T. XII
breth. of New York, had been appointed by
President Cleveland as the Collector of Gus
toms at the Port of New York. and that Walter
III. Bum, of Cooperstown, had been appointed
Appraiser of Merchandise for the District OF
New York. This announcement was made by
Secretary Thurber, who received letter from
Mr. Cleveland authorizing the announcement
to be made.
These appointments surprised the politicians
here in Washington very much, as neither
gentleman had ever been prominently men
toned in connection with the two best offices
within the gift of the President. And it IS
said that the most surprised man OF the lot IS
Secretary Carlisle, who never before heard OF
such a person as Judge Kilbreth. Both Judge
Klbreth and Mr.. Bum are warm personal
friends of President Cleveland.
Judge KiIbreth is native of Cincinnati, o.,
and is a graduate of Harvard College. He
came to New York city as young lawyer. and
was appointed Police Justice by Mayor Have
meyer, and was reappointed by Mayor Cooper.
He ceased to be Police Justice last Novernh her,
when his term expired. He has never aflili-
ated with Tammany Hall, and while associated
with the Anti-Snappers, has never been
leader against Tammauy. He is about SO years
old, and is conceded to have been one of the
most competent Police Justices New York city
has ever had. Tammany people, according TO
the New York papers. are not well pleased
with his selection to the best office in New
York city. which they believe should have been
given TO one of their number.
Walter II. Bum. the new Appraiser, served
as United States Marshal for his judicial dis.
trict during President Cleveland's first term.
He was Clerk of the New York General AS
sembly, and succeeded Secretary of War La
mont as Clerk to the Democratic National
Committee, when the latter resigned TO became
Mr. Cieveland's Private Secretary. He was a
prominent advocate of Mr.. Cleveland's renomi-
nation, and is regarded as leader Of the DEM
ocracy of his district.
