Pension Commissioner Warner an- l1ounces that he is going to make the chief purpose of his administration of the pension office the cleaning up of the old files and bringing business down to date. There are quarter of a million of claims pending in the Pension office, and some have been hanging fire so long that the claimants are dead and forgotten. Good progress has been made under the Republican administra- ton, commencing with 1897, in reducing the number of pending claims in this department. In 1897 there were more than half g. million cases awaiting &C., tion, 57S,099 in all. At that time the corps of clerks was larger than it is now, Less than 17O,00O cases were dis posed of in 1897. The coming in of a Republican administration encouraged the filing of a large number of addi- tlonal cases, so that by the end of 1898 there were 635,000 claims on hand. The Spanish war contributed some of these. From that time on the total number has been cut down at the rate of more than 100000 a year. During the year just closed Commissioner Warner re- ports that 26S,975 cases were adjudicat- ed, a larger number than was disposed Of during any previous year since 1897. The number of claims pending at the present time is 220,822.

curiosity They were led by a bigger
brother or sister or their parents.

By allowing these attacks on his en-
ployers Mr.. Heayey has lost the conf
dence and friendship of many men who
believed him incapable Of sanct'ioning
such methods. Alexander Simpsons
printed attack on Robert Davis win be
resented at the primaries. Mr. Heavey
will be held responsible and he will suf-
fer as a consequence. He will lose many
votes he would have received had not
Simpson been allowed to hit Mr.. Davis
over the Under-Sheriff's shoulders.
Nothing can be- gained BY such methods.
About all the men who have grievances
against Mr. Davis have attached them
selves to the Heavey movement, and the
making an issue Of him will rally TO his
support all his friends who for ono rea-
son or another had an idea Of voting for
Heavey.

MERELY
MENTI TONED

Alexander Simpson has assumed abb
solute control of the Heavey movement.
He is the star Of the aggregation and he
insists on occupying the centre Of the
stage. This is as it should be- Mr..
Simpson is the greatest migrate of the
bunch Of ingrates who have attached
themselves to Mr.. Heayey'sS candidacy.
50 why shouldn't he be the elne to whom
all others should look for advice and
consolation Convinced that there is no
chance of Mr.. Heavey winning out at
the primaries Simpson is determined to
make all the trouble possible for the
Democratic organization He is getting
ready to quit the party. He doesn't
know just yet whether the Republicans
will give him a seat on the 1Fagan band
wagon and so that he will not be outside
the political breastworks altogether he
would like Mr.. Heayey to head an indie
pendent movement. IF you are beaten
at the primaries you must run as an id,
pendent candidate for Sheriff Mr..
Simpson told Mr.. Heavey. Mir. Heayey,
whatever else may have been said Of
him. has never yet been placed in the
same class as Mr.. Simpson. He is
known to be possessed Of honor and prin-
eiple and ingratitude is not pne of his
traits. The Democratic party has done
well by Mr.. Heayey. He appreciates
the fact and he mas no intention of do-
ing anything that VIII injure its chances
of success at the coming election. Il he
is beaten at the primaries, which seems
probable, he will not desert the, party, as
Mr.. Simpson would have him do. Like
the true Democrat he is he will accept
his defeat gracefully and will give his
support to his successful rival for
nomination. If he does not his friends
will be surprised and disappointed.
