GRANTS PENSIONERS MORE TIME.

Commissioner Lochren Says His Bureau Has Been Misrepresent ed. Washington, August 6.—Judge Lochren, pension commissioner, has extended until Oct 10, 1893, the period within which pension ers whose pensions have suspend ed may make proof of their ri^ht to receive them; in the following order which was issued yesterday: In oases of pensions heretofore suspended for lack of proof showing a pensionable degree of disability, under the act of J une 27, 1890, it is directed that the period within whioh the pensioners may famish further evidenoe or apply to this bureau for examination by a medical board be extended to Oot. 10, 1893, and that no suoh pension be dropped for lack of such evidence before that date. Let a copy of this order be mailed to all such pensioners as have not aoted upon the notioe previously given. William Lochben, Commissioner. In explanation of the order Judge Lochren said:.

Under oolor of the act of June, 27. ’9O, but really under the misconstruction of that act resulting from order 164, many pensions were granted for disabilities not of Bervioe origin, which in no way incapacitated tht person from the performance of manual labor and were therefore not pensionable under that act, or under any other law. The duty of the bureau is to arop these pensions. But in some oases claimants or thetr attorneys may have been misled by the praotice of the t urean, under o der 164, into direoting their proof only to such specific disabilities as were being rated uudei that order, while in fact a good case for pension might have been shown. The pensions have, therefore, not been dropped lut suspended, and notice given to the pensioners, in accordance with established usage, to furnish further evidenoe within sixty days and show their right tp pension, if a legal right exists. Ordinarily this has been found to give sufficient time. It has been thought, however, that because of the persistent misrepresentation by certain olasses of newspapers and persons of the action aDd intention of this bureau many pensioners may have been misled and discouraged from presenting such proofs as they could furnish or from asking for a medical examination. I have, therefore, upon tne suggestion and advioe of the secretary of the interior, coneluded to extend the time within which pensioners already notified, but perhaps misled as I have indicated, may take steps to retain their pensions, if they are in faot entitled to them.

Democratic control of the government has nothing experiment 1 about it. From the time of Jefferson to the inauguration of Lincoln the government increased in area and power. The masses were not made subject to the classes.— England was 4 humbl’djby Madison, and a successful forei n war commenced a_d terminated under Polk. The Peru Republican says:— “Charles W. DePauw, of New Albany was worth $1,000,000 three months ago. He is now practically penniless, having included in deed of assignment all personal property down his shot gun and fishing tackle,” etc. The Peru and Rensselaer republican organs must place a very low estimate upon the intelligence of their readers when they attempt to cram them with such stuff as that quoted above. Neither DePauw, Charley Foster, HustoD, Nebeker, nor any other financier or business man has sunk $1,000,000 in busi* ness within three months. Even if true, the McKinley law is still in operation, and it would be a sad commentary on that law. Bah!— Try something at least with some plausibilit about n.

The Republican this week publishes the of the Hemocratic platform concerning the McKinley bill in order, we suppose, to intimate that promised reform of the tariff should come in for first consideration.

Read the President’s message on another page of to-day’s Hf.ntinel. It should receive attentive and careful perusal The Chicago Record, iu these few words tells its whole story: ‘There s no reason why the president’s message should not be accepted as adequate. *t is simple, avoiding all entanglements which might produce delay. It tells the necessity for action. It points to the remedy for exis'ing evils. It urges haste.” Hon. Thomas Hammond, for five years mayor of the city of Hammond, resigned a few days ago to assume the duties of congressman of this district. The Hommond News gives him credit for having aided largely in putting in water works, miles of street and sewer improvements, and lifting the city out of financial straits. Mr. Hammond is now in Washington, and a special in the Indianapolis News says of him: “Representative Hammond and his private secretary, D. H. Fen lon, are here. Mr. Hammond, like his colleagues from northern Indiana, complains that the administration has been too slow in making political removals in his district ”

The Lafayette , Sunday Times says: “The financial panic recalls tbe story of how the cashier of a bank in an iron-mill town stopped a run. He sent the janitor with a bushel of silver dollars into a rear room wnere there was a stove, with instructions to ‘heat those silver dollars red hot.’ They were heated, and in this condition he hando ed them out with a coin scoop.— The depositors first grabbed the coin, then kicked. ‘But you’H have to take them that way,’ said the cashier ‘We are turning them out as fast as we can melt an t mold them, and if you won’t wait till they cool, you’ll have to take them hot.’ That settled it. The run was stopped. ”

“Put none but democrats on guard,” was the admonition of Hon. Tom Johnson, of Ohio, in the democ 'at’c caucus of the house Saturday night when he w»s opposing the reselection of Seargants atsArms Yoder, of the same state. Mr. Johnson said: “The reasons briefly stated should appeal to every democrat. Mr. Yod r’s first act after taking the oath of office had be*n to appoint a republican as his chief clerk and lieu'enant. Then ha had endorsed a republican for captain of the watch, and the appointee had put in his time around the capitol in lobbying for a bill in his own interest.” Mr. Yoder was defeated- asjjiie should have been -and Herrnsn W. Snow,of Illinois was elected. Leroy Templeton, the great People’s party apostle, with others, has started a bank at Oxford. Renton eounty. We presume Mr. Templeton will loan the dear people money at 2 percent, and take corn, wheat and hog certificates for security.
