BLACK WILL NOT

BY w. w, Jermane,

Washington, Nov. 30.-It has been
decided not to transfer General John G.

Certain other considerations have
cropped up. While General Black is

which Mr.. Cleveland, whose name was
attached to them, encountered such bit
ter hostility. It was alleged that the
president not only denied intended
benefactions Of congress to poor old
veterans, but that in addition he made
fun of them. This was due to General
Black g vigorous way Of setting forth
the preposterousness of grounds upon
which certain Of these private bills had
been based.
Easier Office Now. -
The pension commissionership would
be a much easier office for him in
many ways today than it was in the
democratic administration twenty
years ago. The pension question is
much nearer settlement. Those re.
sponsible for pension business, if not
actually out Of the woods, can see their
way to the clearing.
For a lifelong democrat to hold such
an office under republican president
but perhaps not so for the sort of an
! administration which Mr.. Roosevelt in
tends to inaugurate.
Those who know General Black Is
physical condition best, and are most
interested in his welfare, have long
