Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 55I 1893
These pensions have not been ques-
toned at all by this administration. and
are not in any way affected by the rul-
ings complained Of so that the "indis-
eliminate charges Of universal fraud"
have no reference to the majority of the
pensioners of the civil war at ALL The
only pensions that have been questioned
the act Of June u, 1890.
In the second place, no charge of fraud
has been made by this administration
against this class of pensioners. The
only charge made is that in a number
Of cases Raum issued pension certifi-
Gates without authority of law. And
this charge was originally made not IN
der Mr.. Cleveland's administration, but
under Mr.. Harrison's-not under Hoke
Smith. but under Gen. Noble. On Jan.
7. 1898, Gen. Bussey, assistant secretary
of the interior, decided that the admins
tration of the law by Raum had been
improper and ordered that 1.-The views
herein expressed be observed in future
adjudications under the act OF June,
1890" He made no effort to rectify the
illegal issuance Of claims prior to that
date. He turned on no search-light. He
left over three hundred thousand PEN
sion claims already issued by Raum I'M
der the act of 1890 with the cloud hang
ing over them that part of them had
been issued without authority of law.
And. what was worse, Raum continued
to act, as before, in defiance Of this or
der. The present administration pro-
poses to find out what certificates were
unlawfully granted and rescind them.
1t does not indorse the proposition that
a man has a vested right in a pension
granted without authority of law. 1t
has put to work a board of revision to
sift out the pensions that appear to be
unlawful and has suspended 5000 of the
81 .203 claims allowed by Raum in ac-
cordance with the judgment of that
board. OF the $4,000 civil war pensions
100000 have not been questioned, and
the $4,000 that are questioned are ques-
toned for lack of legal authority, not
fraud. Hence the talk of 'indiscriminate
charges of universal fraud" is a fiction
which adds nothing to the force of the
committees report. If the G. A. r.
questions the law as administered it
can test it in the courts. If we under
stand the policy of the present admins
tration it favors the use Of search
lights Of neither love nor hatred, but of
law 1t is the business of the executive
department to administer law, not SEN
timent.

Now that Mr.. Harrison has an oppor-
tunity to advance his candidacy for the
republican nomination in 1896 by making
speeches. we regret to notice that he de-
votes his time to criticising Judge Loeb
ren's administration of the pension
office instead of furnishing the much
needed and oft-demanded explanations
of the administrations of Tanner and
apologize for those two worthless or in
dorse them openly and fully. Old SOL
diers do not like trimmer. They have
no admiration for man who evades re-
sponsibility What does Mr.. Harrison
think of Tanner and Raum? Does he
approve of their administrations of the
Does he indorse the rerating of the PEN
sion office force and the continuation of
the fraudulent new rates after express
orders had been given to cancel them?
Does he approve "sidetracking' the
claims of soldiers injured in the service
in order to make a record" under the
disability law in time for the election of
1896? Speak up. Mr.. Harrison. Speak
up fully and explicitly. There are no
considerations limiting you Gin the free
dom of speech concerning" your record.
What do YOU think of your own pension
office? This is a splendid opportunity
saying all the mean things you can
about the present administration and
then sneaking away under the pretense
that propriety forbids anything further.
Let us hear from you at length.

There is little room for question that
the business interests of the country
want the tariff law settled promptly.
Even in protectionist centers this policy
is strongly favored. Allusion was made
few days ago to the sentiment Of the
Manufacturers club of Philadelphia
The Boston Herald says In regard to the
feeling at that place:
In our wool market report Of yester-
day we referred to the opinion of a num-
Der of the dealers in wool Of this city
that it would require scarcely more than
a couple of weeks for the wool trade to
adjust itself to a free wool basis; that
it is uncertainty which is the worst feat
ure today, and that even strong protec-
tionists affirm that absolute free wool,
and that settled upon at once, would be
far better than long drawn out suspense
with a retention of partial protection.
Beyond these dealers come the manu-
facturers. and while one of this class who
was running his mill on full time and
with ordinary demands might not shut
down wholly or in part because Of pro-
posed but unknown tariff changes, yet
If his mill had been shut down, or was
running upon half-time, and the ques-
ton came up Of whether or not he should
put 1t again into full operation, 1t would
not be unnatural for him to argue that it
was better to keep things on the present
level until Their tariff taxes had been
agreed upon. On this account 1t is incum-
bent upon congress to act as speedily as
it safely can, and we believe that in so
stating we are but echoing the ideas of
the merchants and manufacturers of New
England.
Give us tariff reform, and set the
wheels to moving as soon as possible.

Gently. and some of them proved fatal.
b. people jumping on and of trains of
cars when In motion. There is a law
against this sort of feolishness. but like
many others, is seldom or never en-
forced. At Lafayette Saturday a police
officer was killed by jumping from
moving train. The poor fellow was ter
ribly punished for his temerity. but it
may not be out Of place TO draw a
moral from the sad affair. If a police
man jumps on and of Of moving trains,
we may not expect boys and those Of
larger growth and experience to desist
from following his example.

Curious resemblances in nature start
with the cocoanut, in many respects like
the human skull and almost fac smile

glish walnut is almost a copy of the

like the human eye, almonds like the
human nose. and an opened oyster and

ear. The shape Of a mans body may
be traced in The mammoth squash the
