Is an indication that there are great

may be the means OF exposing

and the worm may catch the other. We
don't know. just as we don't know who

a PENSION CASE.

After a thirty days notice Of the inten-
tlon to decrease, the pension Of Judge
Long, Of Michigan, has Teen decreased
from S72 to $50 a month.
This is a case in which the professional
pensioner has an opportunity TO make
great campaign effort It Is true that
Judge Long was in the war, was wounded
and is now cripple. That would seem
suitable case for reward which the
professional pensioner maintains should
be bestowed upon a soldier It is true,
also, that Judge Long is a uni
versally dilapidated cripple His wounds
are agonizing and aggravated-to read
about. His body was perforated with
bullets and has since been badly patched
by surgeons. But, from the aiiidavits
made In his case, from the persistent and
ignoble manner in which he connived at
the increases, illegal and personally
solicited reratings, OF his pension, not
only without form Of law, but contrary
to the United States statutes and to the
rulings Of the pension Office, it Is neces-
sary to conclude that Judge Long, though
crippled badly in,body, is much worse Grip.
pied in mind and morals. Being lawyer
and a judge he has assisted in evading
the rulings and defyinP the laws
While he may have been entitled to his
pension under other circumstances, be
was not entitled to IL when he had not
conformed to the requirements of the
statute, and when he was enjoying
salary of $1,000 year. He is not justi-
fed in drawing It contrary to law.
IL would not avail to expose this one
case Of Judge Long, only; the country
could easily spare the $72 which he drew,
rather than the $50 to which he was
possibly entitled, but the humiliation
that all good citizens must feel when \
judge on the bench makes a statement
to the effect that he is de-
pendent for sustenance on the
bounty Of the people, solemnly swears to
that lie and takes an illegal amount for
that bounty, when at the same time he
is not an invalid in the sense Of the law,
but is strong and well enough to perform
the active duties Of judge in tbusy
court and draw a salary for that work
greater than that drawn by member Of
Congress aud almost as great as the
salary Of a cabinet oiiieial-a salary that
is princely compared with the salaries Of
millions OF hard working men who assist
to pay his pension. Judge Long is not
a dependent. No man who obtains $1,000
a year can be dependent. The Dependent
Pension law prohibits, 1t does not grant.
pension 10 him.
Judge Long is an exau pie Of the de-
grading effects Of living upon charity OF
public bounty. There are cases OF
course, worse than his, though there are
no cases showing such an exaggerated
state Of moral obliquity.

A BAD ATMOSPHERE.

As the news columns Of the EVENING
JOURNAL indicated yesterday, there is
an Ananlas abroad. Some local prophet
Of the Republican party, not just now
engaged in redeeming Delaware, has
lied.
There are two principal suspects and
two principal aecusers. Between those
two IL is scarcely possible, without an
explanation from one or the other, or

We are not disposed to limit the honor

contrary to believe. no matter with what

Stewart are truthful men. That is,
reasonably truthful men when it is not
their interest to be otherwise.
OF course, we know they are pollti
clans, and politicians are not always
serupulously exact in observing Sunday
school precepts. OF course. too. we like
to see this discussion going on, because
1t certainly adds to the general hilarity
Of the local situation, but we do not like,
