WHO have been 'prostituting Democrat

arhe average politician is such a
great parsonage, it his own estimation,
at least, that he dosen't think much OF

taking it for granted that the papers
must swallow any and every nauseating
dose that is smeared on the trcket. II
the papers have no say in making the
ticket they should not be expected to
do the battling for nominees put on
simply TO further the personal ends OF
selfish leaders who right away com
menee to cry out "that paper is kicking
as usal.n when a reputable paper de-
clines to designate as a gentlman some
notorious character that has unfortun-
ately been made the party's nominee
On the newspaper developes the prin'

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE special

investigation of criminal matters IN
pension claims as well as the investiga-
ton of merit claims in which prlma
facie case has been established before
reference to that division, has kept a
record since May of the amount IN
volved in final payment of every case
rejected after special investigation.
This record shows that for the months
of Nav and June last, in these prima
facie cases which would have been al
lowed had they not been specially In
yestigated, the first payment would
have amounted to s150,279. A great
manv eases investigated were found tt
possess merit and were allowed, but O.
the number investigated and rejected

The expenses of the special eXamlna'

They May Not BE Dropped from the
Rolls in All Cases.
WASHINGTON, July l5.--lt is learned
at the pension Office to-day that 2,oos
pensioners have been suspended up u
date under Secretary Hoke smith S
recent ruling, requiring beneficiaries
of the act of June 81, 1890, to prove
total disability where they are drawing
pensions of sic per month. The sus-
pensions are not confined to any par
ticular locality, but tare well distributed
throughout the country.
No pensioner has yet been dropped
under the decision, for the reason that
the sixty days allowed the pensioners
in which to make proof of disaoiiity
have not elapsed.
Many of the cases suspended VIII no'
result in the dropping OF the pensioner
but may be confined to a reduction o
pension, according to the degree OF ais
ability and its cause, as shown py th'
proofs submitted.

sand visitors Exclusive of Dead Heads.
CHICAGO. July 17.--The outward ap-
pearance of the fair yesterday did not
differ from that of last Sunday, save in
the emblems of mourning on the engine
houses and the flags at half mast
Nearly all the displays made by foreign
exhibitors in manufacturers building
were draped, while many American ex'
hibits were closed. The building was
visited by many people during the day,
however, but most of them spent
their time sitting upon chairs IN
the long avenues running through
the building and viewing the white
canvases which shut out the coveted
sights within. Other buildings had
their usual Sunday crowds, the great
est number of visitors thronging the
art palace, the Krupp gun EXHIBIT ana
the convent. The plaisance, when al
wavs holds the Sunday crowds, was
a busy place all day and impressed
upon the concessionaires more frmly
| than ever the idea that their part OF
the fair should be kept open. Music
was furnished during the afternoon
and evening by the Chicago, Cincinnati
and Iowa State bands, this feature o
the "Heroes'" day being much enjoyed
and appreciated by moderately-size
crowds.
The paid admissions were 49, 4ol. l
is estimated that the amount contrib
uted to the relief fund by concession
aires from the receipts will amount t
5000, which, added to the proceed
from ticket sales, will swell the fun
by about $50, 900.
