COMMISSIONER L0CHRAN ON PENSIONS.

It the matter of a pension IM intr a vested right Commissioner Loclu..n has tho following to say: "A pent:..n is situ ply a bounty granted bv act ot Con-gif-s. If it were a tested right Congress would not interfere with it in any way. As matter of fact, the lt-u:-la-ti'-e power can modify or repeal the periston laws whenever it sees lit. To consider a pension as a vested right is absurd. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided to the contrary three different times. All pension laws grant a bounty during disability, hut wtien the disability stops, of course the pension stops also. If a pension is shown to be obtained by fraud it would be a si range thing if it could not be canceled. It would be a curious thing if the commissioner of pensions could only increase pensions and could not reduce them where fraud or a manifest misapprehension of the law is shown. The law of December 21. 1S93, makes a pension a vested richt until it is changed, after notice to the pensioner and a hearing before the commissioner. Tho law is, of course in effect now, but its meaning is doubtful. Xo right can be a vested one which can be taken away by a hearing before the commissioner of pensions or any one else. Congress can undoubtedly pass a law declaring a pension a vested right, but the next Congress could undoubtedly repeal it." Tne matter of pensions will be a subject for discussion it would seem, so long as any remain on earth whom they are intended to benefit. In the interest of justice it would never do to have another Corporal Tanner in charge of the management of the pension department of the government, yet on the other hand men of the Lochran stamp are apt to go to the extreme in their treatment of pension matters. The individual who will be a happy medium between the extremes, who will strive determinedly to tee that the government shall not be imposed upon and at the same time will labor earnestly to see that the deserving shall not be deprived of that in the matter of pensions to which they are entitled, is the one to be placed in the important position of pension commissioner. It will remain a difficult matter to select the right man for the place.

S DEAD BEATING FAIRS.

The tricks resorted to by many persons to beat a fair company and secure thereby free admissions are ingenious and remarkable, and furthermore many of these persons are so situated pecuni arily tbat they should know better. One of the oldett and most stale is that heretofore known as the exhibitor's ticket. They will enter some cheap 25 cent or 50 cent exhibit and then secure a ticket admitting themselves and family, and quite often if not watched, several other families ThiB has been done in thousands of instances. The main object of their "exhibits" is to secure admission without cost, and not that the exhibit amounts to anything. Fairs generally through the country are shutting uown on this pleasant system of dead beating, and it is perfectly correct that they should. These people who have "exhibits" of the cheap kind, are wonderful sticklers for premiums, and if any are to be awarded, are determined to havo them even if the fair companies have to borrow money to pay them.

OF INTEREST TO TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES AND OTHERS. The Supreme Court has lately rendered a decision of much importance to township trustees, county treasurers and others, and if they wish to keep their neck out of the halter they will certainly think of it. The court decides that any official loaning the public money is guilty of felony. For years past many county treasurers and trustees have loaned the public money and pocketed the interest that it drew for their individual use and benefit. And many of these individual? in various parts of the State have turned up short when the time for final settlement came. This decision should at once put every one of these officials on their guard, for by this decision they' are subject to criminal prosecution if they loan out money in their hands belonging to the township or county. Loaning the publie money has been a leadine cause for defalcations heretofore by various offi(ials and this decision is timely.

BRIDGE CONTRACTS.

There has lately been some scathing remarks made regarding the awarding of bridge coutracts to 'he different companies by the county commissioners and others having the matter in charge, and some angry assertions regarding the business are occasionally heard. The opinion seems to be that the com mis sioners are not lookiug attentively enough to the interests of the tax-pay e.'s in tho matter of bridges, and that they are paying too high for them and favor this or that company oi'ei all the rost. It formerly w.is the case that Braden of Indianapolis, agent for some bridge company, could scoop all the contracts for bridges from year to year Now it is said that the Lafayette company is the favorite with the county board and secures about all the bridges that tho county has to build. The company, only a few days ago, secured a bridge to build tor f'2.700 in the county, which outsiders assert could have been let to some other company for three or four hundred dollars less. The truth seems to be that all iron bridge companies in the United States are one. that is area trust and the prices of one are the prices of all, and that all share alike in the profits of bridge builduig from one end of the country to the other. The mat'.er of competition is a mere farce, probably, as there is no competition in it. If such be true, the matter should be regulated so that the taxpayers should not be bled in such strong streams as heretofore. Why not build wooden bridges and give home mechanics the work. They are just as durable and cheaper. There are many wooden bridges in Indiana that have been standing for over a half century. The bridge used now daily near the Sperry mill was constructed in 1340—."5 years ago. and is better now than many of the iron affairs in different parts of the county. It was built by homo mechanics who knew nothing about shoddywork. The commissioners would do well to cut loose from the bridge trust and give the matter of bridge building to home mechanics. They could see then that they were well built, would not be compelled to pay extortionate prices for them, and the money would remain at home.

EARLY ORGANIZATION.

A number of the leading republicans of the state met at Indianapolis last week to take the preliminary stepB toward organizing for the next campaign in 1896. There is nothing lost and often much gained by early organization, and while republican methods should rarely be followed, we think in this, at least, tho democracy could well follow suit and begin the work of organization. The longest drilled soldiers in most cases make the best of fighters— they are prepared better for the work than raw undisciplined troops. So, too, in politics, that the men backed by argument, by party discipline, by knowledge of what the opposition are doing, make that much better work on the day of election. Wo should carry Indiana next year for the democracy if our partyleaders will use judgment in the work of organization. The main thing is to begin in time by thorough organization.

THERE is not a housewife in the land who has not felt by experience the advantages of the Wilson law in the reduced coBt of 25 per cent, on woolen goods 'alone, and the republican congress that attempts to restore the MeKinley duties of .33 per cent, on raw wool and 97 per cent, on woolen fabrics will only evoke ridicule and disgust. The Wilson law removed the tax onehalf on woolen goods and altogether on raw wool. The compensatory balance in favor of the wool growers has been so remarkable in better prices and demand as to. make even the llockmasters advocates of tho new tariff. Reduced prices to purchasers who use about 6800,000, 000 worth ot woolen goods a year, an average of 812 per capita for the whole country, cannot be restored to the McKinley figures, and the party that advocates it simply flirts with dissolution.

THE vast and lasting benefits of the meetings or the blue and gray at Chicamauga and Chattanooga, last week, will be appreciated as time rolls on. The numerous speeches made by men prominent during the war on both sides, at their camp fires in Chattanooga, last week were full of patriotic utterances. Another thing hereafter banished no doubt from political campaigns, ia the waiving of the bloody shirt. That garment in its past condition will fail to enthuse voters hereafter. Such bloodthirsty patriots as Foraker, of Ohio, and others ot the smaller fry will have to hunt up something new aB campaign material. The bloody shirt as a political weapon is useless.

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON returned to Indianapolis last week and the way the friends of Trussler are after him for an "expression" is amusing to say the least. Trussler, now a candidate for mayor, tailed to vote for Harrison for President in '92, and now Harrison's friends have a chance to "even up," and very likely many of them will do so. It is natural that they should judging of the nature of men especially in political matters. If Trussler is defeated, and there is every indication that he will be, his friends will thereafter stick pen-knives into the Harrison "boom" next year.

THE JUDGMENT CONFIRMED. I

On appeal to tho Supreme Court the verdict of the lower court, breaking tho will of the late Joseph E. McDonald, has been confirmed. The children of Mr. I McDonald and two urandchildreu brought suit in the Hamilton county circuit court, asking that it be set aside on tho ground of undue influence used by his widow, and also that the signature to the will was not genuine, 'lhey won. The property left by Mr. McDonaid in value amounted to about £05,000. llad the will purpurtini: to lie his have remained his children would have teceived but little. As it is they win re ceive two-thirds o: it. while the widow will receive the other third.
