SURES AAs pt ASS ca NO MORE PENSION LISTS. Tanner Pefnses the Press the Right of Publication. May ot an imbecile and —Com:.is- Washington, sioner Tanner the Globe has not sid so. Corporal re, and his Tanner was alegless | services to the rep: New York were such as to compel party in recognition. It was not that Corporal Tanner should be made commissioner of pensions, but he compelled partisan compliance with his desires. His best quali cation is a disqualification. he lost his legs, or rather his fect, entitled him to syimpathy—but not to office. The loss of his feet was considered his pre-eminent qualitica tion for high office; especially inas much as Cleveland had the country a physical wreck for com- missioner of pensions. President Harrison ought to have done some- necessary Because given thing for Tanner, and Cleveland ought to have done something fo: Black, but neither of them should have been appointed commissioner of pensions. Any Washington cor- respondent could have told the ad ministrations better. G 1B did more than all other dyspey Cleveland. noodles to defeat was the querulous concoctor of vetoes on pensions. Now, mar Tanner will not be x vetoer. His ism will be egotism. He has found several mares’ nests in the office. One of great bureau of which hi al littleness now is chief, pension th s intellectu has been for pension them is ing medium an advert attorneys, commonly yelept*s He has determined that the work of the public masters. Although the people pay him for attending to the pension work for th er Tanner draws his pay cheerfully, and then tells the people that what he does is none of their business harks.” , Commission He practically says: “Li is true the this office whose business is it? I don’t grants pensions, — but intend to allow the newspapers to publish the pension lists. If I do all the pension sharks in the country will use the published lists and do their utmost to ‘work’ the pensioners and get fees from them on promises to secure an ‘increase’ of pension for them. I shall not consent to the publication of the daily pension lisis on that account, and Imust decline to accommodate the press.” Now Commissioner Black was 2 physical wreck, but he had a little political sagacity. He did not say to the newspapers: “You fiends and vampires are of no use to me, and you can get no news from this de- partment.” On the contrary, Com- missioner Black sat him down in his parlor and said to himself: “See here, John Black, these Washington correspondents represent big con- stituencias. They talk directly to allof the people of the country. They are willing to advertise what a democratic administration is doing for the soldier if I will give them halfa chance. Ill cultivate these fellows for they are not common re- porters. They represent the best papers in the best states. I'll culti- vate them.” And he did. Now comes Tanner the trouble- some, and he fires his optics at a great mare's nest of evil. He sees that pension sharks may get onto the pensioners, and he constitutes him- self commissioner of pensions, guardian of pensioners and detec- tive versus pension lawyers—all this at the same time, and on only one salary as commissioner. In other words, the commissioner is undertaking to make an ass of him- self by exhibiting his undraped base to the Washington correspondents of the leading newspapers. He means well; we all agree to that. But so did Brutus, Sizera, Guiteau and Judas Iscariot mean well. None of them, so far as I have been ad- vised, have yet received the approval of the men who mold if not make public opinion. Corporal Tanner | has not yet received that approval. He looks at himself in the claes. thinks of the Colossus of Rhodes and defies the press. He does not distinctly remember the case of Keifer versus Boynton. The speak- | er of the house of representatives, a | man holding a position next to the | president, quarreled with one Wash- ! ington correspondent. Result: Where | is Keifer? Before Washington cor- | respondents are done with him where is Tanner? SOME PLAIN TALK. The Foolish Attack on the Soati Caro- lina Troops Gets a Sharp Answer.

Enormons Fortunes. Notwithstanding the enormous fortunes {accumulated through the use of printer’s ink, large sums of money are annually wasted in ineffect- ual and unremunerative advertising. The merits of a really valuable commodity properly portrayed in the columns of the Tres will speed- ily become generally known and ap- preciated, while the returns reaped by the advertiser will be like those of the wise husbandman who planted his seedin good ground, wherein it bore fruit and brought forth, “some | an hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.
