OLEANING OUT THE FRAUDS 2 General Black, ‘commistioner of pen- slons, 1s progresming very satis’actorily in the work of weading out of the penslon liat all fraudulent pensioners. It hes long been known thatssveral thousandsof persons have for years beern drawing pen- a'ons to which they were in no way en- titled, Inveetigatlons, which wera began recently, develop the fact that at the Phllsdelphia agency the names of de- ceased pensloners and re-married widows were borne on the rollsand that frandulent payments had been made to partles who personated the dead men, or who pre- tended that they were still the widows of the deai woldlers. Aboat $20,000 had been paid out 1n this way. Examioa- tions were made at other agencles, with 1ike results. The fact 1s now made pub- lic that the examination of the Chicago sgenoy showed that 560 fraudalent pen- sloners wera on the rolls, and that the agent had keen directed to drop them. Even the Washington agency has been carrying a number of such frauds, and in all probability there 1s not an agency in the country thst s enticely free from them. It lsto be hoped that the good wotk will be carrled through to the end uatll there is not left a single bogus pensioner on the list, Only those who oro honestly entitled to pentions should be permitted to receive any of the bene- fits of the acts which have been pussed for the rellef of the soldler, and the eoldier’s widow and orphane. Commle- eioner Black, who was himeelf a soldler, cannot be criticlzed for his efforts In this direction. He should be commended for the work he has undertaken. THAT TORPEDO BOAT. 1f there {s anything that the govera- ment needs more than another just av tho prasent time It lu a torpedo boat. We notlce by late dlspatohes from New York that & torpedo boat {s belog constructed near that city, which, if a success, will be a 2ubmarine worder. The bulldera de- clara that it will revolutionize submarine warfare, The building of the boat has been condacted with great secrecy, and the name of theinventor and the per- #omns interested with him have been so far kept secret. The description of this tor- pedo boat Is.a1 followe: It is shaped like a cigar and is fifty feet long and eight feet in diameter. The head is de- signed to constitute a sharp ram, which, when driven by the prodigious strength contem- plated in the power of the boat, will perfo- rate the iron plating of a ship, and then by a retrograde motion quickly withdraw itself. This ram looks like the snout of a hog, Itis built of stzel and has peculiar édges of tharp eurfaces, intended to facilitate its operations. Oa the top of the craft is a small iron turret surrounded with little electric lights to aid in steering. Between this turret and the rau: at the heed is an aperture at the mouth of which is a dynamite gun hidden from view, Direot- ly over the gun and on the neck ot the vessel 18 & sharp, thin p iece of steel, It is intended to use this to destroy small craft or other tor- pedo-boats by rising suddenly from under- neath them and piercing a hole in them, While this destructive craft may be a nine-deys wonder In the east, the won- der In this part of the country will be whether this {s the Inventlon In which Dr. Miller is 63id to bs Interested.

The Re wublican bullding is a conspicucus mon- ument of this jim-crow architecture, and & oareful fnspeciion of other groat struo- tures woull close the debate.
