PUKGING The ROLLS.
Several Undeserving Pensioners
{ IN Are Pulled Down.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The work
of purging the pension rolls has com
menced in earnest in the pension bu-
-reau. Twenty-Five cases allowed under
the celebrated ruling of Assistant Sec
Rotary Bussey were taken before the
new board of review a few days ago,
and all but one Will be declared wrong
fully on the rolls and ordered dropped.
This is the decision of the board of re-
view. but it is probable that 1t may be
modified by Judge Lochren when
brought to him for approval. Strange
as it may seem, the very men
who entered most heartily into the
work of filling the rolls under Tanner
and Raum are now disposed to go to
the other extremes. and unless pulled
down by their Superiors, would do in
Justice to honest and deserving appli-
cants. While there will doubtless be
large number OF pensioners under the
act of June, 1890, as construed buv
Bussey, either dropped from the rolls or
reduced in amount Of pension, it is not
the intention of the present admlnlstra-
ton to do any more than is necessary to
carry out the laws as they are on the
statute book. The injustice of allowing
men who were early on deck to take
advantage of the fberallty of Tanner.
Raum and Bussey, as well as their dis
regard of the law, to remain on tie rolls
when others just as deserving, but not
so swift, cannot get there, is appar-
ent, and was the reason for the estab
lishment of the board of review. But
there will be music when the board of
review gets down to solid work, if its
action on the first batch of cases may
be taken as criterion.

JUDICIAL FEDERALISM.

There is ample justification in the
opinion handed down by Judge WOODS
in the Sunday-cIosing case for the
recent remarks of the GLOBE on the
necessity of democratizing the judic-
airy; that is, of putting men on the
benches of the federal courts and the
state courts of last resort whose con-
cept of the purpose and scope of
government is democratic, and not
federalistic or paternalistic. 1t is i'm
possible that man who believes that a
government is created for the purpose
of regulating any and all Of the affairs
of men to which it may at any time see
fit to address its power, will not, when
the question comes up involving dis
pute as to the scope of the Jurisdiction
of the state or nation, lean uncon-
sciously to the side of the state or
nation. There have been notable n
stances, markedly the decisions of the
federal supreme court in the cases in
volving the reconstruction acts of con-
gress, where justices, nominally Repub-
lican, have decided against the aggres-
sfons of governmental power on the
rights of the state or the citizen; but
this was because, i'll the main, these
Judges had a democratic concept of
governments.
Judge WooD is of the opinion that
it mattered nothing that congress had
conditioned its gift of the souvenir coins
on the closing of the fair; it had the
power to close it without it, and purely
in the exercise of its legitimate powers.
How this opinion of this judge is taken
is made plain by the comments of the
Chicago Tribune, which finds in it COM
pensation for It's disappointment in the
decision closing the fair, which it had
advocated strenuously. 1t sees in it the
assertion of what it says it has always
contended for, the absolute supremacy
of congress over the states in anything
to which it might see fit to apply its
powers. whenever the national gov
eminent is concerned in any affair all
others must take back Seats" says the
Tribune. Judge WooD does not be-
lieve that it possesses only strictly de-
fined and limited powers"
There were grave questions as to the
fitness of the appointment of Judge
WooD raised on his appointment, grow
ing out of his reversal of himself in his
instructions to the federal jury in the
celebrated "DlockS-of five" case; and
his expressed views of the absolute SUI
premacy Of congress over the states

THE GERMAN ELECTION.

The cable news indicates that the
German election is resulting adversely
to the hopes of the kaiser. There are
so many details and influences in Ger
man politics which are not understood
here that it is difficult to discuss the
subject at this distance; but one thing
is certain--the spirit of democracy has
grown to be menace to the throne.
The national debt is enormous,t the taxes
high. and the people are not i'll mood
to favor anything which can make the
public expenses greater.
The people are awakening to reali-
Zation of their own strength. Many
years the willy BISMARCK carried cleo
lions by deceiving them. 1t has recently
come to light that he precipitated the
Franco-Prussian war by false telegrams;
that he used the purported kilograms to
fire up the patriotic spirit of the people.
The great premier was never at loss
for scheme to keep them alive with
pride in their country. His mantle fell
upon one who was not so gifted, and the
people have learned of all the intrigues
which served to keep them in sympathy
with the throne Had they learned of
these things years ago, it is reasonable
to believe that the democratic tendency
would by this time be powerful enough
to Overwhelm the monarch.
The people are aware now that their
heavy burden of taxation is due to the
impoSitions which kept them in the be-
lief that the safety of Germany de.
pended upon maintaining an immense
army. Yet the throne is powerful. A
large portion of the German people are
still in doubt as to the propriety of re-
fusing the demands of tine kaiser; and
the kaiser has made the most OF this
feeling by using every means to intlml-
date the electors. If he is defeated
now, the meaning will be so great that
he may precipitate a revolution by at
tempting to usurp autocratic power. 1t
is already rumored that, in case of de-
feat he will declare his army bill law
and seek to enforce it.
There is still chance for the success
of the throne in the elections. In about
1875 districts second ballots must be
taken. Without the kaiser's Interior
ence, it is asserted. almost every one of
these would elect men who are opposed
to the army bill as prepared by CAPRIyI;
but the emperor will interfere. and pro-
poses to exert every possible means to
carry every district. The belief is eX-
pressed that he may bring to bear infu-
ences which will win for him. But if
he succeeds. he Will not succeed in over
throwing the democratic spirit. nor i'll
checking its growth.
1t seems very clear that Germany will
eventually become republic. unless the
throne comedies to the people very much
more power than they now enjoy.

Typographical union today elected the
following delegates to the federation of
labor: Delegates Miller, of Boston;

Fort Wayne. w. II. Snyder. OF Topeka,
was unanimously reelected as agent of
the Childs-DreXel home. The vacancy on
the board of trustees of the ChildS-DreXel

proposed new districts, which go into
effect next November. the following
were selected by the convention. Ninth
district, w. B. O'Bleness, Des Moines;
Tenth district. III. w. bennett, st.
Paul. Louisville was decided upon as
the place OF the next annual meeting.
The priority law obtained the atten-
ton of the convention the greater part
of the session. This law provides that
the foreman shall promote the man who
can show the greatest length of time.
The committee on laws recommended
the substitution of the old law
which gives the foreman entire
jurisdiction provided the one pro-
NOTED has subbed thirty adys.
1t was also recommended that the
change should not take place until
ratified by the local unions. After
long parliamentary struggle, the change
was made In executive session the
discussion of the report upon the
Childs-Drexel home was taken up
where it was left yesterday. The Nc
Intyre motion concerning the admission

SCANDAL IN A CHURCH.
Lively Times in Detroit House Of
WOPShip.

DETROIT, Mich, June 16. = Unity
church, of this city, an almost creed-
less organization of protesting Chris
tians. is in the throes of scandal.
1t seems that Rev. c.. G. Good
rich, the pastor of the church, was
intending to procure divorce from his
wife. with the knowledge and consent
of the board of trustees. Some of
the members were opposed to this, and
an effort was made to depose the
minister. At a meeting held this
evening grave charges made against the
minister were read. They had previ-
ously been passed upon by the trustees
and discredited. Pastor Goodrich re-
piled to the charges in a lengthy ad-
dress, supplemented by large
threatened to tear down Smith. Fassett
& Co.'s building, Speeches of an in
ceHdiary character were made and two
Oh three red flags made their appearance.
The sheriff was called upon for pro-
lection and he in turn made a
request for the militia. The lumbermen
sent out word that the men would be
paid off this afternoon. and this had the
effect of quieting the crowd. The men
received their pay as promised and most
of them departed for their homes in

HAS BLoUNr RESIGNED?

This Question Seems to Be Agi-
tating the Correspondents.
WAsHIN GToN, June 16.-Whether or
not Mr.. Blount has resigned his posi-
ton as minister instead of commissioner
to Hawaii cannot be definitely deter
mined here. The probabilities seem
strongly to favor the assumption that
he has not resigned, though it is thought
quite likely he may have ex-
pressed wish to be relieved at
all early day of a position which he
did not seek, and which is under
stood to be somewhat irksome to him.
The state department still carries Mr..
Blount'S name on the register as min
lister and refuses to admit that he has
resigned. In view of these facts the
published statements that the place has
been offered to Consul-General Critten-
den, in Mexico, and to Judge Sneed, of
Kentucky, became little perplexing,
inasmuch as it is positively said that
MIR. Blount's place is not regarded as
vacant, and consequently has not been
rendered to any one.

ToNAwANDA. n. Y, June 16.-Not
stroke of work was done on the lumber
docks here today, and serious trouble
was nomentarily expected. An excited
crowd of full 500 persons, mostly
strikers and union lumber showers,
thronged the entrance to the
bridge leading to Little island this
morning. The situation was so threat
ening that the sheriff ordered the
Twenty-seventh separate company to
be in readiness for immediate action.
About half of the Poles went Oh the
island this morning, intending to 20 to
work, but they were threatened by the
others and gave up to their comrades.
All demanded their pay. Deputies
guarded the entrance to the bridge and
would let no striker over. The.strikers
were uneasy and showed signs of fight.
A meeting was held this morning at
tended by 800 Poles, and strikers
patrOlled the streets. Tonight the
excitement has largely sub

Rev. Mr.. Bullock arose and announced

became violently angry, rushed upon
Mr.. Bullock and seized him by the
throat Several of the leading func-
tionaries of the church interfered and
prevented what would undoubtedly
have resulted in a much more severe
assault. A scene of indescribabIe con-
fusion ensued. Women. who largely

in great disorder. A disruption of the

Rev. Mr.. Bullock exhibits letters writ

which. it is claimed, Is not questioned.

Mr.. Depew from Syracuse:
Hearty thanks for beautiful present
