WADES Wall
Writes an Insulting Letter on PEN

TO Mr.. DON C. CAMERON,
In Which he Calls The Globe Dirty Sheet
and Uses Other Filthy Language for a
Government Empoys and GentlamanI
CrItIo-HIs Malice and FaIsiIoatIOn Of Facts
Touching Mr. CamerOns Record,

On the stationary of the Pension
Bureau. and during Office hours, Of
course, unless we assume the hypo-
thesis that Mr.. Wade stole the station
airy and took it home, he indicts the
following elegant epistle to Mr.. Don G.
Cameron, whom he assumes to be the
scout" who recently criticised the bu-
reau:
Washington, d. c., Sept. 9, 1901.
Don c. Cameron,
Treasury Department.
SIR: wish to thank you for your
very readable article in The Sunday
Globe. signed Scout" Inasmuch as
YOU have thrown a little mud at me, l
wish to say that my feelings are still
unrufled, as / know that all decent
people hold in supreme contempt a
man who uses a dirty sheet like The
Globe to vomit his filth upon honest
people, and who is too cowardly to
sign his name. The whole Southern
division has spotted you and express
their utter contempt for a man who
stabs in the back. Probably If you
had mentioned in the article why MI
Don c. Cameron was never promoted,
the public would then understand your
reason for writing this scurrilous ar
ticle. Suppose you tell them next time
about your dissipated habits and utter
worthlessness as a clerk. Your disap-
proval Of my conduct is the best en-
dorsement / could have amongst de-
cent people.
CHARLES J. WADE
Section C. Southern Division"
In the upper left,hand corner Of the
letterhead is this printed legend:
Address your reply to the Commits
Sioner Of Pensions, with return OF this
letter"
The Globe will endeavor to comply
with the request. In the first place,
Mr.. Wade assumes that the correspond
ent signing himself Scout" is Mr.. Don
c. Cameron, and presuming on that
assumption, he writes on the Bureau
stationary, during Office hours, for we
will not accept the other hypothesis
! that Mr.. Wade is a thief and stole the
stationary from the office, gross and
indecent letter, with a blackguard ref
erence to The Sunday Globe. He In
suits Mr.. Cameron on the bare assump'
! ton or mere suspicion that he furnish
ed The Globe certain information un'
der the nom de plume OF Scout This
establishes to a certainty that Mr.
Wade is a very choleric individual, and
his filthy language places him outside
the pale of gentleman, hence he Is not
qualified to speak authoritatively on
the character Of either The Sunday
Globe or its correspondent Scout
In the vindictive paragraph, where
he refers to Mr.. Cameron's record, Mr.
Wade is not in ignorance Of the fact
that Mr.. Cameron was twice promoted
during even Mr.. Wade's connection
with the Southern Division. This es
tablshes either Mr. Wades inaccuracy
of statement with a deliberate inten'
! ton of becoming offensive, or 1t de
! monstrates his ignorance Of the trans
actions in his division. As to the i'm
butation that Mr.. Don c. Cameron is
! the Scout who trimmed up the Blu
reau and exposed its dry bones We
have on file more than a dozen letters
ascribing articles on the Pension Blu
reau TO others than the real authors
Of the same. II Mr.. Don c. Cameron
will call at this office or write a card
acknowledging himself to be the
Scout" complained Of we will con
front him with evidence that he has
"a double" beyond all doubt or perad
| venture.
ne Sunday Globe does not depend
on one or two or even half a dozer
Scouts" for It's news Of the Pension
Bureau. We are kept constantly sup
piled weeks ahead with Evans litera
ture by the old soldiers who have beer
robbed out Of the pensions to which
they are entitled, while such men as
Wade hold down soft berths and write
insulting letters on the stationary paiC
for by the taxpayers. Mr.. Wades opin
ion Of The Globe, we are pleased Il
perceive, does not prevent him reading
It. and this is the only redeeming feat
ure about Wade IL encourages tn,
hone that i'm time The Globe will aC
complish his reformation, in so far al
inspiring him with a desire to imitat
Its purity and decency of expression
when writing future letters on the sta
tionary Of the Pension Bureau.
