AS to the personal fortunes of Mr..
Evans. few of his countrymen are con-
cerned. What concerns them is the
spectacle of a Pension Commissioner
bounded from office because he refused
to be q party to the scheme of shyster-
lawyers, and perjured clients, to loot the
public treasury. The ,choIc pension system
has become piece of political machinery,
The most gigantic. the most sordid aud the

Any Pension Commissioner, who refuses

not removed or asked to resign by the
administration. he Is threatened by the
ever increasing horde of pensioners.
with defeat at the polls.
The result appears in the pension rolls
Of the Government. Last year there
were 753.451 alleged 'invalid" pensioners
and 23S.06S widows. making q total of
nine hundred and ninety-one thousand

1t Is not too much to say that what
was in the beginning a splendid in

degenerated into a spectacle OF object po-

relieve the needs of the meritorious; 1t
ends by giving to those who demand,

alleged infringement OF the naval reg

influence legislation. The charge is
that Captain Todd sent out circular
to the officials in the photographic De-
partment asking that they use their in

the bill reducing the departments ap-
preparation for the benefit OF the Coast

the Treasury Department. and is n part

But there is another reason why the
representatives of the American gov

to become thieves. The representatives

EVANS AND PENSION SHARKS.

he has that easy-going sense of duty
that takes 1t for granted that nobody

Portable enough; but let him dare to
scrutinize these claims closely. let him
venture to thwart the purposes or curb
the activity of the pension shark and
there Is war. and war to the knife.
1t must be said for Mr.. Evans that
he showed no disposition to wink at
shams and frauds and manifestly MIDI
culous claims. To all appearances he
has shown some regard for his rcspon-
sibility to the pension payers. as well
as to the on-rcceivers. This was
enough; the dogs OF war were promptly
loosed. The Grand Army of the Re
public, which has degenerated into an
insolent and rapacious organization for
the promotion of pension claims, led
the hue and cry against Mr.. Evans. A
resolution was offered at the last en-
campment, at Philadelphia, denouncins
him. and was shelved with difficulty.
The war was carried into his own
State, and he was beaten. The East

THE STATE IS STILL SOVEREIGN

While the decision OF the United
States Supreme Court in the case in
volving the title to the Governorship of
Kentucky is only what was expected by
everybody at all acquainted with the
law and the merits of the case 1t is
none the less reassuring to the friends
of popular government. AS the court
says in Its opinion, 1t is prominently
case wherein appeal lies to the people
who are always in session." had the
Supreme Court assumed to have jurs-
d!ction. 1t would have meant a subor-
dination of the legislatures of the seve-
raj States. to n tribunal and in q way
never contemplated either by Federal
or State Constitutions.
If the Legislature of Kentucky has
been guilty of wrong and injustice. it
is the province OF the people of that
State to administer the rebuke and
right the wrong. Whatever was done
by the Legislature was done by the
representatives of the people: IL in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Constitution of the State as Interpreted
by the duly constituted tribunal, 1t
could not be subject to review by any
other without deprlvlng the States of
all the attributes OF Sovereignty. 1t
has always been the policy of the
United States Supreme Court to follow
the Supreme Court Of any State In it's
construction of the Constitution of that
State. In the Kentucky case it has
merely adhered to that policy. The
question OF right or wrong goes back
TO where 1t rightfully belongs-to the
people of Kentucky. There is no reason
TO suppose that they will shirk the re-
sponsiblity, or abuse the opportunity
thus afforded them
One very significant fact was the
dissent of Justices Brewer. Brown. Nc
l<cnna and Harlan from the ruling of
the Court. that a Public Office is n trust
or agency. and not property. Had the
Court decided that an office Is property.

disconcerting.
