That accounts for gettinig there, for it is said that an Ohio man never gets left. The amount expended for charity by the Q. A.

The Democrat herewith publishes a few ppimoTip from Republican newspaj>er8 re- gardtng Corj>oral Tanner, before and af ter his decapitation, to show the*'soldier' editors of the county and the public in general that our opinion of Tanner as pension commissioner, wasn't far out of the way after all: Tanner's fate should be a wanting to persons who are inclined to talk too much.--Elftin Advocate. Corporal Tanner perished as a public officer in a desperate effort to run a hair- trigger mouth in conjunction with a flint­ lock brain.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The good soldier, the cripple, and thr pension commissioner, Corporal Tanner, is now down and out. This shows strength m President Harrison in removing him at once. Mr. Tanner was a good friend of the soldier, but he was a very injudicious subordinate. He deter­ mined to have a "policy" of his own, no matter whether it harmonized with that of his superior or even with that of the administration. * * Had Mr. Tanner started out in his good work of pension granting and re-rating in a little more conservative manner, and kept his mouth shut as to what he intended to do, and considered himself a subordinate and not a superior, the President would have had no occasion to look for a new {tension comn ussioner.--Sterling Standard. When Corporal Tanner spoke in Chica­ go in July last he was reported as saying, among other things: "As soon as I had taken my office they brought me a stack of two-dollar a month pensions to sign. What I said was this: 'Take 'em away; I am too val­ uable a man to the government to put in my time signing pensions of 50 cents a week,' and I am. I will not sign those pensions, but I will not cross the letter of the law. I am having those pensioners re-examined, and every two-dollar man will either go off the role altogether or he will get a four-dollar pension." This is all very liberal talk, but Tanner had no right to use the tax-payers' mon­ ey in this way without authority of law or directions from his superior officers. He had no more authority to do it than he had when he ordered his clerks to re- rate their own pensions, or when he re- rated a senator's pension without the senator's knowledge, and sent him a check for f2,800 of back pay re-ratage unasked. It was doing business in this reckless and illegal way which made the Secretary so tired that he notified the President that if Tanner was not stopped his resignation must be accepted.--Chi­ cago Tribune. The Plaindeausr'b soldier-editor will, of course, copy these clippings and call us soldier-haters, and he may be sure the Harvard Pumpkin-Head will copy his article and say "amen" iu his usual" silly and boyish manner.--MeHenry County Democrat.

We think we know a good thing when we see it, and are willing and more than anxious to help get it before the public. Does the verdant youth who Imagi™*. he edits a newspaper think for a moment that there are no Republican papers in this great country who are, not unlike himself, soldier-haters ? The politics of a paper or an individual need rot nor should not interfere with their senpe of what is right and just toward those who fought for the preservation of the stars and stripes. We are sorry to (itay that there are a few papers in thecountry who claim to be Republican, and who, like from his cradle to the present time we can assure him he has been aiding nature in making a scape-grace of "Ms nibs" and in various ways of late years it baa become known that he has sonned tin all that is good and true and beeGBi« so stupid that he fails to discern wftcn h© has been knocked into Asmithereena/* And because Corporal Tanner, in tits , goodness of his great big, kindly heart, saw fit to re-rate a few pensions, and correct some unjust rulings in pwrtjee in the Bureau oi Pensions, he is MKded, designated a fool and a knave ao#|Kt@ry- thing that is vile. We believe ^hat tf*t know as much about the workifigs of the pension office as does Young Bayonet Points, and would much like to know why he never talked out in masting about the hundredaof pension claims re- ratari hr Ron nianV «TOl,„t r rated by Gen. Black. "What is sauce fop the goose is sauce for the gander," youngster, but you have thus farfa&edto possess the manhood to mention any of the mistakes madeby Gen. Black, especial­ ly during the last few months of his admin­ istration, and while we knew of many, we challenge Young Bayonet Points to find a single .instance where we have ever written a line or copied a sentence as against Gen. Black's management of the pension office. When it was charged by great many papers that Gen. Black was drawing an unlawfully procured pen­ sion ; the largest pension drawn for disa- bility by any pensioner in the Gaifced States, the Democrat Was glad enough to publish an article written by us ex­ plaining the situation apd showing that the pension drawn by Gen. Black waa properly and legally procured, and if we mistake not, this same Young Bayonet Points commented favorably upon said article and gave us credit for being fair and just in our reply to an unfriendly press. But now it is a bird of another color, is it not, Y. B. Pts.? We believe there is no one foolish enough to say that Corporal Tanner was perfectly well suited for the position he held. The principal fault found with him, and which there was reason for, was that he talked too much and was indiscreet in being too liberal in his rulings, etc., etc. That is all that the most unfriendly, with the • ception of the ex-rebels and their sympa­ thizers the ancient and latter-day cop­ perheads, charge against him. We are told in that Book of books that "the truth must not be spoken at all tames," etc., etc. Corporal Tanner has the facul­ ty of being blunt and outspoken, oft-timea jjult; yefe he tells the truth. Yt» ay oneFTPomir WWG66 too mifcl makes a too free use of the shears, by so doing prints that which is false unjust. He writes in the same vein, ear­ ing not how big and unreasonable the falsehood he tells. Corporal Tenner was a brave and gallant soldier, and is aa brave and gallant still; Young Bayoart I oints is a cowardly young ex-rebel sym­ pathizer. His writings and dippings prove him to be such, and have doae so for several years past, no matter by what course he now attempts to crawl out of the bed that he has been making lor him­ self of late years. Comrades, what think yon of the two pictures? po^ c0NSUMPTl' Pension Commissioner Tanner is called the Jonah Of the Republican administra­ tion. He should be heaved overboard from the ship of Btate as soon as the whale gets back from Deer Park. The notorious pension commissioner, "Corporal" Tanner, was requested by the President to resign, which he did on B1AS0KABLS TSSXS. C* C. Andrews, Spring Grove, IM ^h»g ̂ Vhve.
