rHs PENSION CRATER.

Il is a healthy sign when some of
the Republican papers of influence
turn the lime light on that mares
nest Of the government--the pension
department
The Kansas City journal is just
now engaged in showing up some of
the most glaring instances of private
pension fraud lately exposed. II takes
the following special pension bill. now
in the hands of the senate committee
on pensions. with every prospect, It is
said, that It will be reported favorably.
as an exninple of the f-aui that honey
combs the country's pension system:
Be IL enacted by the senate ana
house Of representatives of the United
States Of America in congress assembl-
ed That the secretary of the interior
be- and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to place on the pension roll
subject to the provisions and limita-
tions of the pension laws, the name of
Martin o'Connor, late of Troop H.
/ Second United States cavalry. and
sergeant, general service, United
States army. and pay him a pension
at the rate of s72 per month in lien
Of that he is now receiving.
This bin is not unlike ssho6sands of
others that go through the congress
sional pension hopper ssimply because
they bear the committees perfunctory
20. X" 1t happened that an old un-
ion soldier who read of the introduc-
tion OF the bill knew the beneficiary
thereof and knowing him TO be un-
worthy, wrote to one OF the bureaus
of the interior department as follows:
This applicant for congressional
pension is a clerk in the treasury de-
partment at a salary Of $1,000 a year
In the first session of the present CON
gress he was given a pension OF $50
month He found It so ea9y that he
now asks S72 a month for blindness
This blind clerk has eyesight enough
to fill clerical position under the gov
ernment Congress it is that is blind
blind as a bat-and the fraud is not
O'connor's, but the senator's and rep
resentatives' who enact such thieving
! Legislation
And so il proved Martin O'Connor
was holding a $1,000 clerkship in th
treasury department. His eyesight
was either good enough to enable him
to perform the duties Of a clerical
place, or he was being kept Upon the
payroll of the treasury department for
as corrupt a reason as he was drawing
pension and asking for more. rTru-
! lly", says the Republican paper quoted
in the foregoing. 1T would be hard to
imagine a more conscienceless outrage
upon the principle which underlies the
pension system OF our country"
D The special pension system harbors
and in reality was devised to harbor
snch frauds as this. and we are pleas
ed To observe shat oar western i,con-

abolition Of the system as a means OF

Mr.. BlLLINesLEY's WITHDRAWAL

The Leader regrets that Mr. Chas.
Biingsley found ii incumbent upon
him to withdraw. from the mayoralty
race
As the Leader has repeatedly stated,
Mr. Biningslsg IS a strong man, a
heavy taxpayer and he could have led
the citizenry forces to victory. AS
mayor Eiilingsley would have shown
backbone ana decision. He is against
the sewer deals and as mayor would
have checked raids on the city treas
nry. But business interests are 20 be
considered first and Mr. Bllingsley's
courteous note of withdrawal is GER
talnly entitled to consideration.
The people may rest assured that
Mr.. Bnlingsley's withdrawal was not
due to fear OF defeat at the hands of
the Republican candidate.
