EVANS To GO,

1t is generally believed in Washington
that Mr.. Evans's retirement from the
Pension Bureau is deereed. The local
papers are publishing the usual Fremont
tory items which herald the changes in
offices. Mr. Evans has interviewed him
self several times on the matter-some-
times willing to be relieved of the cares
of the Office and the struggles to protect
the Treasury, and return to his private
business, sometimes looking forward to Il
promotion as Il reward for his phenOm-
email services. The main thing. however.
is that it seems definitely settled that he
is to go.
The Washington Post, which is always
unusually wel-informed as to official
changes, published the following promi-
nently last Monday:
There is no longer any doubt that Pen
sion Commissioner Evans will, within the
next few months. at the latest, sever his
connection with the Pension Bureau to
accept from the President a position
which will be Il substantial promotion.
but which has not yet been definitely Sc
lectcd.
1t is well known that Mr.. Evans has
the entire confidence of the President. and
the latter will not consider the question
of his retirement until a position entirely
satisfactory to the Commissioner has been
provided.
NO decision has yet been reached con-
cerning successor to Mr.. Evans. nor
will any action be taken until the Presi-
found man of the same high character
and sterling worth possessed by the-prcs-
ent Commissioner in so high Il degree
This has every evidence of having been
directly inspired, If from the White
House, it is the customary bon voyage
given departing official. The President
has been gracefully complimentary to
Secretaries Gage and Long and to Assist
ant Secretaries and others before and af
ter receiving their designations.
1t has some indications of coming from
Mr.. Evans himself. Principally is its
strong resemblance to the items he put
out several months ago. when President
Mckinley had determined to remove him,
and he was playing every card to get
high diplomatic appointment, first, the
Ministership to Japan, and, failing that.
the Ministership to Venezuela. and, fail
ing that, to Portugal. The phrase about
''Mr. Evans having the entire confidence
of the President, etc, is quite familiar.
1t is little bouquet that Mr.. Evans has
taken occasion TO present himself quite
frequently during the past five years.
OF course, as we have always said, the
veterans are quite Indifferent as TO what
becomes of Mr.. Evans so long as he gets
nf
their sight. Probably they would prefer
a diplomatic appointment, which would
take him out of the country.

A CHARGE OF DESERTIoN.

President Roosevelt's first veto was OF
from the record of John Glass The mes
sage read as follows:
'There can be no graver crime than the
crime of desertiOn from the army or navy,
| especially during war; it is then high
| treason to the Nation, and justly punish
! able by death. No man should be relieved
| from such crime, especially when nearly
| 40 years have passed since 1t occurred
save on the cleIreSt possible proof of his
real innocence. In this case the state
ment made by the afiiant before the COM
mittee does not in all points agree with
his statement made to the Secretary Of
| the Navy. In any event it is incompre-
hensible to me that he should not have
made effective effort to get back into the
navy. lie had served but little more than
a month when he deserted, and the war
lasted for over a year afterward, yet he
made no effort whatever to get back into
the war. Under such circumstances it
seems to me that to remove the charge
of desertion from the navy and give him
an honorable discharge would be to false
ify the records and do an injustice TO his
gallant and worthy comrades who fought
the war to finish. The names of the
veterans who fought in the civil war make
the homer list of the Republic. and | am
not willing 10 put upon it the name of 4
man unworthy of the high postiOn.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
This reasoning seems unanswerable.
Such was the demand for men in 1864
that Mr.. Glass, no matter what the cir
cumstances attending his first service
would, if he had been a boy of ordinary
cpi,it bavo ,,oDo IN ,bn o,
elsewhere. These circumstances were ex-
planned in this statement that Senator
Gallinger caused to be inserted in the
Record, after the reception of the veto:
1T appears from the papers before
your committee that the said John Glass
enlisted i'll the navy Jan. %, 1864, as
frst-class boy, for one year; served on
board the U. S. S. Moose, and is recorded
as having deserted from the service
Mach !, 1864. His age at the time of
enlistment was 16 wears.
1T further appears from the papers
before your committee that the said John
Glass, having been a witness TO circum-
stances of a compromising nature affect
ing the Second Officer of the vessel on
which he was serving on March 3, 1864,
was taken by the slid Second Officer
ashore on the following day, presented
Win money 10 puEcHISc Il CIVILIAN SUIT,
and told not to report back to his shin
for duty. The said John Glass. being
very young at the time, and supposing it
TO be his duty to obey the injunctions of
his superior officers, failed to report back
for duty, in consequence of which he was
recorded as a deserter. There is no evil
dencc tending to show intentional deser-
ton, and it is the opinion of your COM
mttce that the relief intended to be af-
forded by the accompanying bill should
be granted"
While this makes very strong case,
it is difficult TO understand why the boy
did not make some further effort to enter
the service, in the many opportunities
that were given such boys between March
4, 1864, and April 8, 1865. If he was so
Indifferent then, he should not appeal for
sympathy now.

Mr.. BRYAN thinks that new issue
can be made on the election of Senators
by popular vote. There is no issue
about it, for the reason that nobody is
actively opposing such a plan. The peo-
pie in any State can elect the Senators
whenever they choose to do so, without
the necessity of a Constitutional Amend
ment. All that will be necessary will be
for eithe: party TO nominate it's candi-
date for Senator at the State Convention
and pass a resolution instructing all the
nominees for the Legislature to vote for
him if they are elected. Then, if the
party carries the State, his election is as
sured.

which had been developed during the war

Prussian helmet, the short-.ailed coat,
