| we're loss in the death of Gen. VI. F. Force,
| Superintendent of the Ohio Soldiers
Home at Sandusky, where he died May
| s. Gen. Force was the son Of Peter Force,
| for many years Librarian of Congress, and
| weli-known to the educated people of the
country. Gen. Force was born in Wash
ington in 1924, and graduated from Har-
ward in 1913. He was practicing law in
Cincinnati when the rebellion broke out,
and entered the Goth Ohio, where he be-
came a Major. He was an excellent
officer, and highly beloved by all his men.
He became Colonel of his regiment, and
commanded it until he was promoted to
Brigadier-General, Aug. IL, 1868, for gal
liant service at Ficksburg. He took part
in all the campaigns of the Army OF the
Tennessee, from Shiloh to the Grand Re
view, and was brevetted Major-Genera1
for special gallantry before Atlanta, where
he was terribly wounded. He returned to
the practice of law in Cincinnati after the
war, and served 10 years on the bench in
Hamilton County. He was forcible
writer on legal and military topics. In
1888 he was elected Superintendent of the
Soldiers Home, and continued in that
position until his death. His wife is now
dangerously i'll with a cancer, and her
death is expected at any time. Gen.
Force was brother-in-law to Gen. John
Pope.
Maj. F. W. Coleman, who entered the
151st N. Y as a Second Lieutenant, and
became a Captain and Brevet Major
receiving two brevets for special gallantry,
entered the Regular Army, but resigned in
1874, when a Captain in the 31st U. S.

THOROUGHLY ALARMED.

Commissioner Evans is thoroughly
alarmed, as he has every reason to be,
over the action that the Department
Encampments of the GAR. are almost
certain to take. If these follow the
advice of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
and speak out the feelings of the
veterans, they will make manifesto
tion that President Mckinley cannot
help needing, and Evans's fall is certain.
He understands this, and has been send
ing men and letters to the various De-
partments to endeavor to forestall any
action against him. Last week men and
letters were sent to Illinois, New York,
and Wisconsin, with earnest appeals to
well-known and influential comrades to
do their utmost to save Evans from
censure. He is pulling every string
that he can. Those who have political
aspirations he is trying to cajole with
promises TO use his great influence with
the Administration in their behalf. To
others he is making Misrepresentation
as to what he is really accomplishing
for the veterans. We do not think that
all this will avail anything. The feeling
everywhere against Evans is too deep
seated and strong to be overcome, or
even disregarded. To those who know
him, his promises Of political assistance
are valueless. lie has little influence
with the Administration, and needs all
he has to retain his present place.
Furthermore, one Of his besetting sins
is political ingratitude. He has always
been too ready to forget those who have
helped him politically.
If the great Departments of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and
South Dakota follow the example of
Missouri and Kansas, and speak out
Enthusiastically, bis doom is certain. This
disagreeable business will be finished
up at once, and all that viii be left for
the National Encampment at Philadel-
phia to do will be to thank the Presi-
dent for listening to the just complaints
of the comrades.
Evans must go.

give him from S24 to $50 under the
old law, in order to get IS or SO under
the act of June 81, and enough to give
him from So to s15 in order to get Sc,
the minimum rate. The loss of the
sight of one eye was pens!oned by
Black under the old law at SO. Raum
fixed the rate at IS under the act of
June 81. Lochren took the rating
away, and Evans does the same. The loss
of an eye is pensioned under the old
law at SIT. Raum gave So under the
Act of June 81. Lochren reduced it
to IS, and Evans continues the rate.
Raum gave SS for deafness in one ear.
Lochren took this away, and Evans
continues, though under the old law it
is pensioned at SO. Scurvy resulting
in loss Of teeth was pensioned by Raum
at from Sc to S12. Lochren took this
away, and Evans does the same. Loss

Lochren and Evans give nothing. We

trations of the harsher rulings of
Lochren which are maintained in their
fullness by Evans.
9th Specyfcation.-Lochren denied
pensions to widows who rad an income
equal to or exceeding s96a year.
Evans continues this denial.
7th Specifcation.-The treatment of
evidence in support of claims is cruelty
unjust. The sworn testimony of reputa-
BILE physicians who have been the
family doctors of claimants for term
of years, and have absolute proies-
sional knowledge of the existence of
rheumatism, heart disease, ruptures,

treated with contempt. The findings of
The duly qualified Boards of Examin-
ing Surgeons fare little, if any, better.
Their recommendations are disregarded,
and their ratings arbitrarily reduced,
sometimes one-half, sometimes more.
Every one of these allegations can be
abundantly supported by irrefragable
evidence. In whatever light it is
viewed it is seen that the present Com
missioner is not a fit man for the place.

THERE is fine prospect of big
trade with China in Indian corn. The
Chinese take TO maize more readily than
wheat, and naturally, for the bulk Of
their food has been sort of millct,
which belongs to tie maize family. II
is a mistake to think that they are
wholly rice-eaters. Only those in tie
neighborhood of the sea-cast eat rice.
They raise maize, but it is of a poor
quality, and tie yield is scanty. The
price Of American maize ranges from 65
to 80 cents, gold, and so far the supply
is not equal to the demand. Maize can
be sent from San Francisco to Chefoo at
from 81 to SlI a ton, and it is e.ti-
mated that il can be laid down in China
at a cost rot exceeding $1.10, Mexican"
silver, or 80, cents gold, a bushel. If
there is a current of shipments started
in that direction, the cost will be greatly
reduced, and leave handsome profit for
shippers.
