WASHINGTON LETTER. (Fromoi r lingular Correspondent.) Washington, April 1905. E'litdr P'tins' The tone which has chanwjterized the Roosevelt administration from the beginning has been once more exemplified by Secretary Hitch cook's acceptance of the resigna tions of the ten members of the Board of Review oft lie Pension Of fice. Soon after Pension Commis sioner Yaspasian Warner entered upon the duties of his oilice he dis covered, quite by accident, that certain members of what was known as '' Mo Lane Pennsylvania Regiment" had been granted pen sions to which they were not en titled. Investigation revealed the fact that this organization had been recruited at the beginning of the Spanish War by "Colonel" McLane but that it had never been mustered into the regular army and had. of course seen no service. ( under thepeusion laws there was not the slightest authority for granting pensions to any of the members of this purely volunteer organization but several were found on the pension rolls. Further in quiry showed that the Hoard of Review of the Pension < Mice was responsible for this violation of the law but lieforc the Pension Commis sioner had verified the facts to an extent which would warrant his recommending the dismiss al of the Hoard, the members all handed in their resignation and they were promptly accepted. The investigation was then dropped and it is not charged that the mem bers were guilty of dishonesty of purpose but of a willful violation of the law. The immensity and intricacy of the federal establishment renders it imperative that every indication of dishonesty be probed to the bot tom and t!::it every proven case of willful or careless disregard of the public interests be visited with summary punishment. With tin* sort of administration dealt out by Perry Ileath, when he was First Assistant Postmaster General, and the laxity of other officials of form er administration the weak kneed and the careless grow more so and the dishonest thrive. With the determined effort on the part of every high official to secure honest and efficient discharge of public duties which characterizes the pres ent administration, from the Presi dent down, the entire federal ser vice is certain to improve in every way and while the public may be somewhat scandalized by the ex posures of the present. President Roosevelt will leave no hairlooms of graft and incapacity to be dis covered and made public by his successors. One other "mistake" has been discovered by Commissioner Warner. In some instances, the famous Pension Order 78 lias been construed as being retroactive. This appears however to fie an error of judgement chargeable to a form er administration of the Pension Office, and as the men who began to draw their pensions too early as a result of this error are all alive, the governineut need only to with hold their monthly stipends until the books are balanced again and nothing will be lost to the govern ment. The pensioners may be ser iously inconvenienced by the temporary withholdings of their pensions but that cannot be help ed and, too, it. is more than likely that they contributed to the error by bringing political influence to bear. CATARRHAL TROUBLES PRE VALENT. Spring Hontlts Cause Sickness, Breathe Myomei, And Be Cured of Catarrh. Catarrhal troubles are more common at this season than at any other time of the year. The sudden changes that come during the spring months are productive of many cases of catarrh that without proper treatment will become chrouic. The pleasantness, most convenient, and only scientific method for the treatment and cure of catarrh, is Ilyomci. Simply put twenty drops in the little pocket in haler that comes with every outfit, and then breathe it for three minutes four times it day. No dangerous dings or alcoholic con coctions are taken into the system when 11 yotuei is used. Breathed through the inhaler the balsamic fragrance oi Ilyomei penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose and throat, and thus kills the catarrhal germs, heals the irritated mucous membrane, and gives complete and permanent cure. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. .1. C. Nueeut, treasur er of the New York Life Insuranoe Com pany. writes: ' Ilyomei has completely cuted my daughter of catarrh from which she has been a sufferer tor years." The complete Ilyomei outfit costs hut. one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a lifetime ;nd there is sufficient Ilyomei for several weeks' treatment, it i> the most economical catarrhal remedy known. Extra f.hottles procured for fifty cents. Ask L. Taggart to .--how you the strong guarantee under which he sell Ilyomei. San-Cura Ointment.

The Observer. ff we are to believe the testimony of intelligent foreign critics of our insti- i tut ions and also what American obser vers of foreign instituions have to say regarding municipal administration in America as compared with municipal administration in Europe, this feature ! of our government is the weak part of our system. "Europe," says Dr. Ly man Abbott "has many things that we do not want, but we should certainly be better off if we could import the European way of administering city goverment." What are some of the causes of the present evil condition of municipal goverment in this country? One cause has been a preverted cor ruption of what is popular govern ment on the part of citizens of foreign birth. Ignorant foreigners have inter preted freedom as meaning license, and the right to pursue happiness as an open door to anything that will put money in one's purse. The sovereign ty of the people means to theni the ! sovereign right of each one to push himself ahead without regard to any restraining authority or obligation. Another cause of municipal concep- I tion has been the rapid development 1 of American communities. The stren- j uous American has as a rule been too j much absorbed in industry and the profits accrueing therefrom to give j much attention to civic affairs. We 1 have moreover, developed too rapidly to have any well established traditions ' of the right sort behind us. European i municipalities have been in existance ! for centuries, and in each there is a body of traditions which oil the whole make for civic respect and honesty. There is always before the English or French citizen an ideal of what city government is and should be that ef fectually prevents him from looking upon city politics as a field for private graft. Old world traditions may seem , to us as slow and antiquated, but they carry with them safe guards for civic honesty and purity which we as jet ; lack. In time we shall develop a body of traditions that may do for us what the traditions of all world cities do for I them. We have spoken of the absorption, of the strenuous American in indus- ! trial rather than in civic affairs. The attitude of Americans towards their municipal service has been exceeding- ; ly tolerant and easy going, so much; so that it is considered almost an im pertinence for the average citizen to ! venture to make inquisition into the • manner in which public offices are 1 being administered. In this respect j we may well profit by the attitude of our English cousins, who, if they are sometimes too pugnacious and too ! prone to magnify trifles into causes of I great disputes, are nevertheless by the ! same token little disposed, if they ! know it to submit to inaflicient or cor- j cuptjservice on the part of public ser- j vants. They pay more practical heed 1 than do we to the injunction of Her bert Spencer that it should always be i assumed that an official is a possible rascal until it has been proved conclu- ! sively that he is honest. Our charitable j habit has been to assume that every of- 1 ficial is honest until it has been proved ! conclusively that he is dishonest. This I attitude is as pleasant as it is chant- ! able, but it makes it easy for unscrupu- i lous officials to benefit themselves at I the expense of the public with little | risk of detection. It is unpleasant aud it seems at first sight to be uncharitable to assume that a public official .is pos sibly dishonest until it has been prov ed conclusively that he is honest, nevertheless, were the public to as sume this attitude and maintain it con stantly, the result would be a great im provement in the character of our public service. The price of public purity and honesty, as well as of liberty, is eternal vigilance. In our i present easy going attitude we cer- ! tainly are not true to the best prin- j ciples of Washington and Jefferson. Letter toJ. H. Jessop. Emporium, Pa.
