La Cavalier, lately the favorite of a
Paris variety theater and said TO be The
prettiest woman in that city, if not in the
whole of Europe, has married a Russian
prince. 1t is alleged that The Due de Or
leans, pretender TO the French throne, was
a rival sutton for her hand. The heroine
OF tais romance is the daughter of a
washcrwoman and newspaper vender ia
Rome. From the washtubs to a coronet
is long leap; still it is said on the boule-
wards that the washerwomans daughter
has probably got the worst Of the bargain.
since she is a woman Of many good quail
ties while her titled husband has a bad
trait to match against each of her good
ones.

ONLY A THREAT.

The pension attorneys declare that they
.ntend 10 carry their fight against PEN
s45n Commissioner Evans into Congress,
watch means that they intend 10 try and
hsvo him impeached. 1t is entirely safe
Go saw chat they don't intend to do any
thing OF the kind No honest congress-
man would listen TO the charges which
they want to make against the pension
commissioner. 1t is doubtful if there is
man in Congress who doesn't understand
that these pensions attorneys have only
one object in view, and that is to get
their hands just as deeply into the treas
ury as they can. 1t is possible that there
are some honest men among them, but
the pension commissioner doesha seem
10 have found them.
They are now trying TO make congress
men and the Union veterans believe that
because Commissioner Evans is from the
South it is impossible for him to do justice
10 the veterans. They have succeeded in
getting several of the Grand Army
posts to pass resolutions declaring that
The commissioner does not deal with the
veterans fairly. Naturally the members
Of the different posts are anxious to get
all the pension money they can, and,
hence, they believe all that the pension
attorneys tell them. Some Of them seem
10 think that if it were not for Commits
sioner Evans they would get enough
money from the government to live IN
luxury.
Commissioner Evans appears to be strlV-
ing to fill his place honestly. He seems
10 think it is as much his duty to protect
the government as it is 10 see that JUS
tee is done to the applicants for pensions.
Hence, he doesn't hesitate TO turn down
applications which he regards as fraudu
lent or which are not supported by sufti-
cient evidence. But every time he rejects
an application he makes enemies. He
makes an enemy of the pension attorney
as well as of the applicant
There is no doubt that the amount Of
fraud in the pension charity is so enor-
nous that it would startle the country if
it should be exposed. Undoubtedly scores
of millions of dollars have been taken out
of the treasury by means which wouldn't
stand close investigation. There is every
reason to think that the present commits
sioner is trying to do his duty conscienti-
ously, and he ought to be sutained, but
will he be? Have the Republican admins
tration and the Republican leaders the
COURAGE 10 citetafn him if the Grand A rTnv
of the Republic demands his removal from
office? Where votes are concerned an hon
est official hasn't much chance. The
threat of the pension attorneys doesn'
amount to anything. but if the Grand
Army of the Republic should make war on
him il would get his scalp.
