MAKE WAY FOR THE BULL

Along with Imperialism naturally
comes the bull fight
Hitherto our sporting bloOd-etting

the college campus. But evidently, we
are growing weary Of the art of pound

death, and are turning with pleasure to
the CORY tournament Of Spain. We

to check any strenuous interference

State legislature can remove the i'm

all its barbaric horrors and occasional

a prelude to the possible revival Of
the gladiatorial epoch Of ancient Rome
when a modern Nero or a Marcus Au-

THE scHLEY OUTRAGE.

Admiral Schley will have 70 fish
or cut bait. His friends are becoming
disgusted at his supineness. Has the
man no temper, he who whipped the
Spanish fleet and sent Spains navy to
the bottom of the ocean?
He must indeed, be a mild hammered
man who permits a sycophantic belly
crawling clerk in the Navy to call him
a coward. Are there no horsewhips
for sale? But very properly ignoring
this wretch Maclay who writes to
please his masters, what is Admiral
Schley going to do with this naval
clique, a little member of which we
touched up in our news columns last
week, who arrogantly and extensively
replied to a citizens request for en-
listment in the Navy you look as if
you haven't had square meal for

THE RUSSIAN BOUNTY.

Last week We said we believed that
there had been much unnecessary crit
icism of the action of Secretary Gage
in placing the counteryailing duty on
sugar imported into the United States
from Russia, upon which an export
bounty had been paid by that coEntry.
It seems from later developments
that our defense was premature, or to
put it better, we had not, when we
made it, a full understanding of the
facts.
We frankly confess we don { thorough
ly know them now, but we have been an
obseryant reared Of the public prints
and endeavored to keep ourselves in
touch with current events, and from
recent perusals of articles written

reason given is that NJ. Dewitt has sue.
ceeded in convincing the Secretary Of
the Treasury that Russia had never
paid an export bounty on sugar sold to
the United States, and then found the
countervailing duties had been or
would be Withdrawn.
We wonder if this can be true? We
have no access TO official correspond
ence and are Obliged % depend upon
what is detailed daily through the
public press. IT, however, such a
statement is true it betokens a great
lack Of practical knowledge some
where. More than that it displays a
IamentabIe degree Of ignorance, such
as is objectionable in financial min
/ lister of a great government.
. II Russia had or had not placed a
bounty on sugar exported to the Unit
ed States, that act should have been

/ Department before action by that Off
Ger. There is no escape from such a
conclusion.

commodities imported into tue United
States come through custom houses
and it is also presume that the Gus

under which they are imported and al

ury.

could be made in writing, that Mr..
| Evans should be retained as Commits
sioner of Pensions, and as soon as the
election Of 1900 was determined, be

We have every reason to know that
| the special examiner who used such
| discreditable methods at Chicago in
/ the investigation of the chastity Of
some of the widows Of comrades,
would be dishonorably dismissed from
the public service. Well, so far as his
official connection with the Pension
| Office, it was terminated, but only to
be transferred to another Department
with an increase Of salary. These mat
ters were known to the high officials,
and have been pigeOn-holed. The at
tention Of Members of Congress was
called to these abuses in the Pension

exposure would be detrimental to the

Now we want to say a word to Gen
eral Dyrenforth, who Is commander-in.
chief of the Union Veteran Union, a
soldiers political organization. 1t is
your duty not to attempt to conceal
from the rank and file of the soldier
element of the country the action Of
the Administration, not only Of the
Pension Bureau, but the treatment Of
the veteran at the hands of the Admin
istration in all the Departments, and
to our mind you should do So and that
in the near future
If your organization is for the ben.
eft of the soldier element of the coun-
fhpT chou Inv tbo af pp va
Administration which has certainly
been inimical to the interests of those
who served from 81 to '65. If Presi-
dent Mckinley does not know of the
the real treatment Of the class Of whom
we speak it is not because it has not
been called to his attention for it has
time and time again.
The change Of a Commissioner Of
Pensions will, in our opinion, not
change the policy Of the Pension Office
i'm the methods Of adiudicating pen
sions. Mr. Evans policy is that of the
President, and is dictated by the pow
ers of Wall Street, whose interests are
such that they want as little money as
possible to circulate among the people
and the pension money goes into com
merCial use the moment it Is paid to
the pensioner.
As to the fact Of the treatment of
the soldier and the methods of the
Pension Office, those who have infor-
nation are employees, and dare not
make public the methods and rules in
the Department. Should they do so,
off goes their official heads. we hope
some way may be devised to fully ex-
pose the methods Of the Bureau Of Pen
sions and the villainOus discrimination
against the soldier element in the va.
rious Departments.
General Dyrenforth, you have the
cue, and can show up the hypocrisy Of
the pension administration. viii you
do it, or is your organization going to
play fiddler for the Republican party?
One thing is sure, if the Administra-
tion can keep the inside manipulation
of the Pension Office as well as the
other Departments of Government
from being fully exposed, it will do so,

Communicated. }

The Republican party of Ohio, in
their recent convention in Columbus,
adopted platform making, or attempt,
ing to make, the policy Of the McKin-
ley Administration the basis of argu'
ments during the coming campaign,
Their attempt to adopt McKinleyism
and methods, may or may not be sue
cessful. The average voter of Ohio is
an intelligent person, and, no doubt,
will have an eye to the methods adopt
ed by the party in power in the Buck
eye State. However, as the gentlemen
in charge of the Republican political
machine Of that State have seen proper
to make their campaign on Mckinley
ism, we see no reason why the oppOsi-
tion to that party should object On
the other hand, they should be glad Of
the opportunity it presents to meet the
issues as laid down, and meet them
manfully, and to our mind, success
fully.
The soldier element is again to be
reckoned as a factor, and to this end
we call attention to the rank and Ale

army from '61 to '65; we want their
attention No difference to what sol.
der organization they may belong, The
daily press has heralded the tidings
that Mr.. Evans, the present Commits.
sioner of Pensions, may resign If his
retaining that position might endanger
the success Of the Republican party In
Ohio the coming fall. Why should he
resign? II the reports are true, the
President has stated to more than one
person that Mr.. Evans was doing his
duty. both to the pension applicant and
to the Government" If this Is true,
then no political factor should inter
fere with that official, but. If the con-
trolling power thought for a moment
that his retention be 4 detriment to
their ends he would go. It is a nOto-
rious fact that since the year 1898
nearly every soldier organization in
the United States has condemned the
aul....,stration Of the Pension Office, as
administered by Mr. Evans,
It was during the time that the ma
tional encampment was in session at
Philadelphia, Pa, In the year 1899, that
there were some very damaging
charges made against the methods EN-.
ployed by the Pension Office In the in
vestigation of the chastity Of soldiers
widows who were pensioners. II is
said that both Commissioner Of Pen
sions Evans and the President were on
the grounds to prevent II possible any
discussion that might bring the meth
DDS above mentioned to light; and 1t
seems that they We're successful. For
a while a lull in the criticism Of the
Pension Bureau, Then 1t was noticed,
after = time, the management Of the
Bureau was up for censure, which
came near defeating the Republican
party In 1900. A promise was made by
