A Competent Commissioner.

The present commissioner of pensions,
the Hon. Henry Clay Evans, OF Tennes-
a.. &c an honest man and a faithful and
y;gilaut officer of the government.
He is doing his duty to the honest vet
Grams entitled to pensions, and at the
same time he is doing his duty to his EN-
Movers the people of the United States,
IN protecting the treasury against the
schemes of dish onesty and the follies OF
reckless extravaganza.
No wonder Commissioner Evans has
won for himself the hearty hatred of that
class of pension applicants who proceed
on doubtful claims and thrive by loose
construction of the laws. No wonder he
has excited fierce indignation i'll the Of
fees of the shark pension attorneys.
The result of fidelity and vigilance is
shown in this brief exhibit: Additions
to the pension list in the year ending
Iune 90, 1898, 64,3sI; additions to the
pension list in the year ending June 80,
1899, 4o,9SI.
For the first time in 20 years there is
actually net decrease in the pension
list thanks to Commissioner Evans
honesty and courage.
This is credit to the republican adj
ministraton. The republican president
who appointed this honest and fearless
commissioner is going tc stand by him.

workmen, whose names could not be
learned, were sent out by the foreman to
drill out charge of powder in a certain
hole that had failed to catch fire when
the balance in the pot was fred. In
some unaccountable way the blast was
discharged, killing Flood and one of his
companions and severly injuring the
other. Our informants state that Will
Flood was experienced by years in
handling powder he became very care
less, and they attribute his untimely
death and that of his companions to this
cause,
