AW IS THE TIME. '
There has never been a more fa
vorable time for tho voformatiou of
pension abuses than now. We have
at the head of the bureau a commia
sioner who is determined to do all
he can to make the roll an honorable
one. There is in the present con
gress a disposition, largely born of
the necesjit' of economy, to limit
pension expenditures and reform
abuses. We have on the part of the
general public a strong desire that
such changes be made in administra
tion as shall prevent tho payment of
public money to persons who have
no right to it. Everybody is satis
fied that there arc numerous cases of
such frauds. It is clear that men
who are able to do active work on
the police force of a jjreat city have
no right to be drawing invalid pen
sions; that a man who is competent
to take charge of a long-distance tel
ephone ought not to be drawing pen
sion money for deafness.
A general co-operation can secure
the purging of the list. Especially
valuable would be the help of the
Grand Army of the Republic in this
direction. They owe it to them
selves to assist in exposing those who
arc fraudulently drawing money which
belongs to the veterans. It is an
nounced by the New York Tribune
that J. P. S. Goblin, commander-in-chk'f
of the Grand Army, has been
in Washington with this end in view.
It would be a very helpful thing if
the suggestion of the commissioner
of pensions that the government
should look after the interests ot
those entitled to pensions itself, and
do away with the necessity for pen
sion attorneys, were carried out.
This would at once be a protection
to the government and to the pen
sioner. If there were no pension at
torneys there would doubtless be less
occasion for the adoption of private
pension bills by congress.
It is a striking coincidence that the
semi centennial celebration of the
discovery of gold in California
should take place while the eyes of
the world are fascinated by a like
discovery in Alaska, which promises
to equal, if not exceed, the famous
find of 1849. San Frnncisco is ar
rayed in holiday attire, while a mul
titude of citizens frcm all parts of
the state are paying homage to the
pioneers who wrung from the earth
her golden treasure. In the mean
time thousands of poor fellows are
camped along the ic3 streams of
Alaska animated by the same hopes
as were the gold-seekers of Califor
nia. The same story of success and
failure, of discouragement and ecs
tasy will be told, but the tale cannot
be so pleasant in the present instance
as it was in the former. The dark,
frozen canyons of the Klondike com
pare unpleasantly with the sunny
California fields, and the mournful
pines of the northern latitude are
far different from the bright flowers
and luxurious verdure of the south
ern clime. But the sought-for goal
in each instance is the same, and we
trust the celebration now in progress
is a fitting prelude for a greater ob
servance yet to follow of the discov
ery of gold upon the Klondike.
The Oregonian, by its fight on
John II. Mitchell, will probably elect
him. At least this will be the case
if history repeats itself. The tactics
used by the Portland paper ore man
ifestly so unfair that their effect is to
cause a sentiment in favor of tho
person who is the object of the at
tack. Mitchell has served Oregon
ably in tho senate, probably with
greater success than any other rep
resentative we have had, and what
ever has been his course in the past
he may be counted upon nowo vote
for and uphold the side of sound
money. Many men have changed
their views upon the currency ques
tion, and for the Oregonian to try
and read out of tho party all those
who at times in the past may have
leaned toward silver, but arc now
for the gold standard, can result in
nothing but harm to the state and
The French love of the sensational
is evidenced again by the scenes in
the chamber of deputies over the
Dicyfus matter. Statesmen and pol
iticians pummelled each other like
boys upon a foot-ball field, and
challenges Hew as fast as Hies in
summer time. It is stated one hun
dred and twenty-five neckties were
picked up on the floor after the strug
gle was over. The French need
some way to give vent to the exu
berance of their feelings, and if they
can't have war with Germany over
Alsace and Loraine, they pick a fight
am one themselves. However, as the
stock of neckties remains sufficient,
no damage can be reported done to
the nation.
Were Governor Lord to act upon
his judgment, and to consider only
the needs of the people, we do not
believe he would hesitate in calling
an extra session. If, however, he
need consult and be guided by .Toe
Simon, the matter will depend upon
how it suits the Portland machine.
The need of convening the legisla
ture in special session is becoming
every day more apparent.
