Ex-REBEL SURGEONS,

Commissioner Lochren, writing to DR.. Tyner.
Of Austin, Tex, in reply to the resolutions
adopted by the Medical Society of that place
expressing disapprovaf Of alleged statements
by the Commissioner as 10 the neligibility of
ex- Confederate Surgeons to serve upon United
States Pension Examining Boards, says:
II have never held thai an ex. Coz federate
Surgeon was not eligible to serve as Medical
Examiner on the United States Pension Board
On the contrary, have appointed a consider
able number of ex-Confederate Surgeons TO
such places j have never had any doubt that
such Surgeons would be at least quite as favorab BILE
to ex-soldiers of the Federal army as any other
class of Surgeons who could be appointed.
know perfectly well from my own feelings aud
from those of ex.soldiers oil both armies whom
meet continually that there is nothing but the
kindest feelings prevailing between the two
classes of soldiers.
The luminosity that remains exists on the
part OF the non-combatants, yet in view of tho
disposition that is shown on the part of the
partisan newspapers and politicians to mis-
represent everything that is done Ia the
Bureau, representing all appointments made
as hostile TO tho Federal soldiers have some
times suggested whether it would not be policy
to take others who were equally qualified in
stead of ex-Confederates. but / have never
failed to appoint the latter class where is ap-
peared or was represented that they were men
of superior attachments and best qualified for
the place."

NEW SENATOR'S.

There ars three vacancies in thu Senate the
filling of which may have an influence that will
be reaching. Washington. Wyoming and
Montana are anxious for full representation
during tho tariff bill consideration. 1t is by
no means certain of what political complexion
the three new Senators will be, for the political
situation in each OF these States is mixed
In Washington there is Republican Gov
ernor and Legislature that is Republican by
safe majority. Montana has q Republican
Wyoming has a Democratic Governor and a
Legislature in which the Democrats and Popu-
lists combined outnumber the Republicans.
Washington, therefore, is certain to send q
Republican Senator. but even should the other
two Senators be of Democratic or PopuIist ten
cies il is expected that under the circum-
stances which would bring about their election,
they would oppose free lead ores free lumber.
and free wool, three industries which enter
largely into the prosperity Of these three States.
Washington. too, has a large area of undeyel-
oped coal fields. for which market is being
sought on the Pacific Coast, and which would
lie idle should the Naimo coal region of British
Columbia send into this country its extensive
product.
Consequently, should these three States COM
piete their quota in the Senate, which they will
have plenty of time yet TO do before the tariff
bill reaches vote in that body. it means three
more votes against the bill. The margin is al
ready so narrow that the incoming of these
three men might make it necessary more than
once for the ce-Presidelt to give q casting
vote ON many Of the most vital paragraphs in
the bill

MARTINS BILL.

Although the first section OF Representative
Martins bill, declaring pension once granted
to be vested right, has become law by in
corporation in the urgency deficiency bill re-
Gently passed by Congress, the author of the
bill does not intend to abandon the other sec.
tons of the measure as originally introduced
by him. He believes that their enactment into
law is necessary to fully protect the pensioner
in his rights.
These additional sections declare it to be the
right of any pensioner, or person who is an
applicant for one. either In person or by attor-
ncy, to inspect every paper filed in the course
of adjudicating the claim, and to be Informed
of the name of any person who may have given
statement or evidence in relation to such
claim.
1t is also provided that any appeal from the
action Of the Commissioner of Pensions upon
any question affecting the right Of applicant
for relief shall be decided within 80 DAYS and
that from the final decision of the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of the Interior an appeal
may be taken to the Saprenle Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. errsef

In the Fall of 1850 he received and declined
a unanimous nomination for seat in the State
Legislature. rendered by the Democratic County
Convention. But, few weeks later, he was
informed that he had been nominated for Con-
gress. His election followed. and his public
career began when he entered Congress in 1851.
Mr. Grow has taken no active part in politics
since the close of the Senatorial contest of 1881
although he has maintained his interest in
public affairs and was elected delegate to
the Republican Natopal Convention at Mime
apolis in 1892. Upon arriving at the booming

It is gratifying to note thst an effort has been
made TO recognize in q substantial way the
services and sufferings of men who though
they did but their duty, did it well and silently.
But it is also significant that the move i'm their
behalf is by one who has braved that same sort
of experience voluntarily, and knows how hard
duty may be. w. III. Glider, who won fame
along with Lieut.. Schwatka in bringing back
from the frozen north information respecting
Franklin aud his expedition, aud later made q
dash for the North Pole by the overland route.

dent to place upon the Retired List of the Army

Signal Corps, two survivors of the Lady Frank

Jones and His Snake I'm Jail.
Louisville Courier-.Journal

A clammy COW snake occupies a conspic-
uous place at the county jail. substantial
ing a strange snake story connected with
one of the moonshiners now confined there
for beating Uncle Sam out of his tax.
About two weeks ago John Jones, of Ma
coffin county, was brought to the city and
lodged In jail on the charge OF moon
shining. He carried a leather satchel,
which he was compelled to leave in the
office of the jail. After being imprisoned
for several hours Jones called one Of the
turkeys to the bars and asked him to
please feed that snake that was in his
satchel." This surprising statement proved
to be true, for the satchel really contained
a live snake. which Jones called "Old Bob
in a very affectionate tone. The snake
was fed and placed in a box where IL could
be seen by the visitors. Jones handled it
without fear, and said that it had been his
pet for a long time. He was recently fined
800 and given a sentence OF sixty days for
making moonshine whisky. He asks every
day about how "Old Bob Is getting along.
