THE PENSION COMMISSIONER.

Hon. Eugene F. Ware, known to the
world as "Iron Quill" was himself a
soldier in the volunteer ranks of the
Federal army during the struggle from
81 to '63, and is in hearty sympathy
with the old boys who wore the blue.
His respect for them does not, how
ever. oyershadow the Importance of
the position he holds, and no one recog-
nizes more than he the grave response,
bility of his stewardship.
Wares admiration of the soldier
who fought in the ranks, whatever his
nationality, is expressed in the lines OF
one of his poems.
81 saw German regiment
Step out from our brigade,
1t marched across the meadow
Where hundred cannons played.
Its bugle hurled defiance,
1t cantered up slope,
Amid fire that gave no man
The promise OF hope.
They came not back,
At night no bugle played,
There was no German regiment
Attached to our brigade.
And as to the bravery of those loyal
foreigners, who, elbow to elbow, fought
Ullc udUlOu UdlGlVo nlOl UilooC i"ol v
loyal sons of America, in the same
poem he says:
"The world has seen thy valor,
0, land of song and vine,
Since Herman plucked the eagles
From the ramparts of the Rhine.
Down valor's lustrous colorado,
We see thy marble throng
Thy warriors and thy scholars,
Oh, land of vine and song
While guarding the rights of all alike
in the discharge of his duties, he is
ever ready to aid the battle-scarred vet
eran to the full extent of his power,
and appreciates as much as any one the
fact that this government will never be
able to pay the citizen soldiers for their
service to our common country.
While the part of pension commits
sioner is one of the most difficult places
to fill, and one criticised perhaps more
than any other, yet the ability and hon
esty of purpose carried into the office
by Mr.. Ware has left his would be crit
les with nothing to criticise.
One of the happiest appointments
made by the present administration
was undoubtedly the appointment Of
Hon. Eugene F. Ware, the lawyer
poet, to the post of pension commits
Sioner.
Mr.. Ware has the distinction Of hav-
ing one of his poems published in law
book. 1t will be found in the 10Th Kan
sas Reports. following the Supreme
Courts decision in the case of the
State VS.. Lewis, and was published by
order of the judges of the Supreme
Court of Kansas.-Southern Republi-

only a valuable and interesting cOntri-
button to the. political history OF the
country, but the memories of his wide
and often close acquaintance with the
foremost men of letters of his time
have also furnished many delightful
chapters. He devotes chapter of "a
pages to Gen. B. F. Butler, and the
portrait drawn of him, while no doubt
true to life, is anything but fiatterlng.
OF Buffers military career it is SAID;
From the beginning of Buffers re-
cruiting for the war, wherever he was
in command, came rumors OF JOBS,
frauds, trading with rebels through the
lines, and the putting of unfit persons
in responsible positions" Gen. But
ler's career after the war is painted in
similar colors, as shown by the follow
ing sentences:
/ repeat what I said of Gen. Butler in
his lifetime. when he was at the height
of his power, with a full knowledge OF
his yindictive character, that the sue
cess of his attempt to use and cOnsOll
date the political forces of Massachu
setts would have been the corruption
of her youth, the destruction OF every
thing valuable in her character, and the
establishment at the mouth OF the
Charles river of another New YORK
| with its frauds, Tweed rings and scan
dals.
Senator Hoar's tributes to his col
leagues during a long service in the
Senate embrace many senators OF op
posing political belief, most OF them
Southerners. He says of Senator Vest
of Missouri, that he ''is a brave, sin
cere, spirited and straightforward
man. Indeed, the book is kindly IL
tone with the single exception OF the
CHAPTER devoted to Gen. Butler. OF
James G. Blaine, Mr.. Hoar says;
Mr. Blaine was brilliant and able
man, lovabe, patriotic, far-seeing, kind
He acted in great way under great
RESPONSIBILITIES. He was wise and pru
dent when wisdom and prudence were
demanded. If he had attained to the
supreme object of his ambition, and
reached the goal of the presidency, il
his life had been spared to complete his
term, it would have been most honor
able period, in my opinion, IN the MS
tory of the country. No man has llveo

| died, save Mckinley alone, who had SC
large a number of devoted friends ano
admirers in all parts of the country.

Another volunteered the suggestion
why you wouldn't expect a high of
ficer like him to git out and hav
breakfast at this beastly early hour
would ye. jest to git two ships start
ed?' 1t was then ten o'clock Tn,
unanimous testimony of those present
was that delays of an hour to severa
IA urs awaiting the pleasure of the
| quarantine doctor were the regular
thing, causing intense irritation among
all the shipping people.
Along toward eleven o'clock Ham
| let Holt appeared upon the scene OF
| action, after captain Smith of the Irm-
| gard had made a special trip of dis
| covery to find and rescue him. AL
! though the Irmgard lay nearest to the
! doctors line of approach, and was to
| sail first, and the doctor had been so
notified. he sailed majesticalIy past her
with chin high in air and unseeing
! eyes and completed the inspection of
the Annie Johnson and the filing out
of her papers before he went near the
Irmgard, in spite of the fact that the
captain Of the latter came to him be-
fore he began examining the johnson
and told him that he was ready for sea
and awaiting inspection.
''Tll examine you when get through
here" was the curt reply that he re-
ceived. He's disciplining me for hav-
ing gone after him and telling him we
We're all waiting for him, 1 suppose"
said the captain of the Irmgard, as he
impatiently paced up and down the
wharf while the leisurely examination
Of the Johnson proceeded.
Its a shame" said a sympathetic
captain, with this good breeze blow
ing. and everything ready to start, to
be held up by this whipper snapper of
a doctor! Why the loss of a few hours
at the start may make the difference
of several days in the length of the
trip, and in these days of cheap freight
and high wages every hour counts, and
may make the difference between pro-
fit and loss on the voyage"
IF there was any reason for it,
said another. IF anything were being
done, we'd have nothing to say. but
when the delay is caused by a doctor
simply taking his own time about it,
TO the inconvenience and loss of every
body else concerned. I think il is an
outrage, and that something ought to
be done to make him attend to his
duties promptly"
About this time the potentate of the
harbor appeared, made a mental note
of the color of the hair and eyes of the |
passengers and crew-it was not no. !
ticeable that he did anything else-and |
the examination was over He made |
no excuse and offered no apology for |
keeping a hundred people waiting in |
