1417 Street.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 15-The
papers in the case of Col Melvin Grigs-
by, of South Dakota, United States
district attorney at Nome, were sent
to the president from the department
of justice today with a recommends
ton for his dismissal from office.
The charges against the district at
torney have been under investigation
for long time, and the case was final
ly handed to the acting attorney gen.
eral today in completed form for his
examination The evidence was so
overwhelming that he promptly affixed
his signature and sent the case to the
White house. 1t is presumed the
president will follow the recommen-
dalton of the department.
The most serious charge against
Grisby has already been described in
these dispatches. 1t recited that he
accepted a retainer" of $4,000 from
the Pioneer Mining company a few
days after his arrival at Nome in
1902, ostensibly for legal services, but
really as a bride. The efforts OF
Grigsby have been devoted almost ex-
clusively to disproving this charge, and
he employed able lawyers to conduct
his case before the department, but
without success.

A DIseRAcEFuL PERFORMANCE

IL is quite in keeping with the record
of the Republican party in other par
ticulars that its majority in the house
should insist upon rushing through all
private pension bills offered, not only
without investigation or debate, but
without so much as having them even
read by number. It impatiently gets
rid of the whole subject by forcing
them through en- bloc, and rushing
ahead to some ether means Of spending
the public funds.
We might certainly better go at once
to the basis of the service pension
than to continue the scandalous sys-
tenn of favoritism that the Republican
party maintains and encourages. The
service pension would at least treat all
alike; and under the scheme of multi
plying private pension bills now in eff
feet we shall have a service pension in
the end, practically, just the same 1t
being understood that any member of
congress will, as a matter of form. in
troduce private pension bill for any
constituent, and that the house wilt,
without inquiry or debate, rush
through any private pension bill in
troduced, the conclusion is that any
body who wants pension can have it.
Why attach the condition of asking
for it? Why not give to the modest
as well as the grasping their opportu-
nifty?
This Republican policy is neither
more nor less than an outright offer
to buy votes at the expense of the
public treasury. The Globe has a
tender spot in its heart for the old SOL
der. he G 10 e believes that he
should be generously treated by the
government, and he has been. But
7 he Globe believes, also, that for
the pensioner and the claimant there
should be, as for all other men, equal
ity before the law. Pension laws of the
most liberal order have been upon our
statute books for many years. 1t was
stated by some of. the ablest lawyers
in congress, men who were themselves
veterans and wished to push gener-
osity to it's limit, that the last general
pension act would reach every de-
serving case in the country. Notwith-
standing this, there has been no ces-
sation since then, but an increase
rather, in the flood of private pension
bills. In the nature of things these
can seldom be justified. The man
whose case does not come under exist
ing pension laws does exist here and
there, but his circumstances must be
very exceptional. Yet we find private
pension bills increasing by hundreds,
and congress passing them without a
word, a thought or look.
This means merely that the Repub-
lican party is SO crazed by its thought
less expenditures in every direction
that it cares nothing for the raid upon
the treasury involved, and that it is
willing to give away any amount for
the sake of winning, or evenof not los
ing, a scattering vote here and there.
If this is to prevail, then LET us put all
the veterans on an equal footing. Let

petitive system has advanced with
greater rapidity and certainty 1t has
been necessary for every president to
permit certain positions to be fillec
