Judge Bradley, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, at Washing­ ton, laid down the proposition that "the Commissioner is neither the government nor Congress, and cannot give or with­ hold pensions at his pleasure." . The conduct of this administration has not been such as to demand the re- : spect of the Japanese, but the victorious Japs mast not get their heads turned by victory so far as to be unable to die- tlngnish the Cleveland administration from the American flag. One is backed by one of the fragments of a disorgan­ ized political party; the other by 10,- 000,000 men ready and willing to fight if "Old (Hory" isn't respected. IV The members of the General Assem­ bly from this District have been assigned to committees as follows: Geo. Reed: Fees and salaries, counties and township organizations, agriculture, livestock aud dairying, state and county fairs and horticulture. R. J. Beck: Chairman Com. on State Institutions, railroads, public charities, canals, river improvements and com­ merce, revenue and retrenchment. Mr. Delaney: Public charities and building and loan associations. Senator Coon has t>een placed on the following important committees: Judiciary, judicial department and ap­ portionment, revenue, appropriations, municipalities, (chairman), labor and manufactures, printing, elections, sena­ torial apportionment, enrolled and en­ grossed bills. •A -\r IK Will Interest Soldiers. I'm. H. Cowlin, who edits the'soldier's department in the Woodstock Sentinel, has the following to say with reference to the county board ot medical examiners: The board of medical examiners for pensions who meet in this city the flrst and third Wednesdays of each month are all pentlemen in every sense the name implies, and we have yet to learn ot any dissatisfaction among those who have gone before them for examination. We advise all who receive orders for medical examination made by the board of revi­ sion to go immediately for examination if ordered to Woodstock. The rating is not done by the board as formerly, btit by the medical board who examine claim­ ants. We are in receipt of numerous letters of inquiry from those ordered for examination, hence this explanation. Many of the "old boys" don't seem to understand why they are ordered before a board when they have not asked for «MK increase. fr Mr Last week Congressman Hopkins offered an amendment to the bill repeal ing the discriminating sugar duty which permits the president to re-impose the duty in the case of such countries as con­ tinue to discriminate unjustly against the products of the United States. The Chicago Herald says that Mr. Hopkins, intends this as a protection to the inter­ ests which have been attacked by the re cept action of European governments. "I want to make it possible," said he v'for the President, without further legis­ lation, to make it such an object to those countries to stop this discrimination, that they will do so promptly. If we merely pass this measure without any requirment regarding the relation of Other countries to our products we have AO assurance that the desired result will tie obtained. But if we give the Presi­ dent power to put the discriminatinK duty back again in the case of those not taking prompt steps in our behalf there will be some leverage to bring them to . prompt action. The amendment is as f follows: Provided that in case any foreign country, whether independent or a de­ pendency shall make or permit any un­ just discrimination against the importa­ tion to or sale in such foreign country, Whether independent or a dependency, of any product of the United states, then the duty mentioned shall remain the . same as fixed by the law in forceprior to of this act.
