WASHINGTON. All IntercMliiR I.eltrr J'rnm Our ltcRii' Inr Corroiioinlent. .Inly 20, 1889. Editor Ohkoon Scout: Tlio tippuhitniotit of Secretary Noble j of a commission of three to inquire into (lie conduct of the Pension Bureau during the lust year, coiilirniH wlmt I wrote you jwa after Commissioner Tanner'n appointment of tlio bitter feeling between biniHclf anil the peeie-; tary. Tlio principal objection urged upon tliu president against tlio corpo pornl's appointment was that be would bo "two liberal." It appears now, liowever, that bo bad developed a great talent for timplo blundering. When be appointed Geo. 11. Hqniiea who waH rcnioo.l in difgraeeattho end of eight wee!;., Ilia private f-eorotary, he fol lowed the error by the nenrcely better mifilako of appointing bis daughter, an inexperienced school girl, his pri vate nccietiiry. Another pcrf-onal ap )ointment of hi.i was that of Harry Phillip.-) a Brooklyn man, na chief of a division. Phillip's appointment wan objected to by Secretary Noble on the ground that ho feccincil without on doiMTS except the commissioner liiin fcolf. At last the appointment was made and charged to the commissioner That is only a little over two months ago, and Phillips is already implicated in tho re-rating frauds that Secretary Noble's commission is investigating. Tho re-rating frauds that are the prin cipal subject of tho present investiga tion are among tho most daring swin dles ever perpetrated. About a dozen pension ollico clerks that havn been drawing pensions for years got together for mutual benefit, and, agreed to ap ply for re-rating from tho date of dis charge. Tho combine invited promi nent Grand Army men to join them, but for soino reason, only readied half a do7.cn men and they wero in govern ment employ. Iterating is authorized by law only "w'bon manifest error" is found to have occurred. Theso men were old and experienced clerks in the pension bu reau, anil bad never before discovered that thero was any orror, under tho law, in their ratings. Still by tho combination, and by literally pressing in tlio merits of each others claims, this combination nianagd, every man of it, to eocuro from $2,600 to 'r'1,000 each. No claim was rejected and whilo in several instances, six months or a year passes before clainiB aio reached for consideration aftor thoy are filed in tho pension bureau, theso claims wero all rushed through in two weeks from the thno thoy wero liled. Tho chain pagne supperfl of tho visitors could not bo kept quiet, and the piesa soon got possession of tho facts. The exposure followed. 'or Kimn reason Comniiisionor Tan nor paid no attention to tho mutter, and it remained for tho secretary to recognize the scandal by discharging three members of tho medical branch of the bureau, and by tho appointment of this commission, Nobody dare ac cuse Commissioner Tanner of dishon esty, or of a guilty knowledge of theso frauds, but his opposition to tho ap pointment of tho commission places him in a most unfortunate light. Tho secretary is also damaged in tho opin ion of many by (ho breach between him and the commissioner. Some look upon it as an attempt to restrict tho liberal policy toward tho soldiers. Such is tho substance of Gov. Font ker's dispatch to corporal Tanner this week. Tho nowspapors who dare talk aro full of tho matter; only a fow over zealous republican nowspapors of tho musty order failing to recognize tho importance of (ho trouble. Tho census work is shaping itself and Mr. Porter's desiro to have tho work limited to what is logitimatoly in cluded in tho bill to provide for the work becomes evident. In many branches tho exports have already be gun work. Tho most dillleult sohed ulo to arrange appears to be (hat of manufactures. A table of this subjeut will bo presented to Superintendent Porter next week, and by him will bo submitted to various fuo trado author ities, as well as to (ho manufacturers with pioteotivo tendencies. Tho other divisions will shortly present their ilotiuitn plans for work, and by Octo ber progress may be expected. The secret survice, that branch of tho govuriiment that tho small boy who mifhfully reads his bloody bones nickil novels, is giving to admiring, in about lo have a new chief. It is prohuhlu that (ho now man will bo Thomas Kurlong, a S(. Louis lailroad iletitelive. ltumoll llanium is active ly supporting him. His appointment lias been delayed thus far by petition sent in against it by various labor or ganizations, including a letter from iJriiml Master Powderly, protesting agaiiiel hi" appointment, on account of his work during tlio St. Louisstrikos. It in nliilrri Unlay, however, that Mr. Powderly has formally withdrawn all oi)M)i on, and the protests aio eau eilM. J- H. C WHAT IS KKMdIOSf In Sunday's Oregonian is an edito rial giving a sketch of two Oiegon pio neers, one who has been a Christian and had tried to bring his sons up to be a credit to him by praying for them, and tho other pioneer who was an in fidel, but who taught his sons to bo honest and truthful and good; tho sons of the fint were u scandal to him and those of tho latter good citizens and good men. Tho article winds up witli the Feiifiblo summary of what is religion? "Wo ask 'What is religion?' and wonder that providence docs not watch our steps and bless our mortal existencs, when the scope of provi dence is the real and true, not the un real and miraculous. There is no re ligion that teaches more than tho sup posed infidel above alluded to taught his sons and himself lived up to to do right before God and man. All the dillerence in credit bo they Christian, Pagan or Moslem have reached the sublime summit of all life when they teach the simplo doctrine of brother hood and kindness. It contains all, and when it is perfect and pure, as thus taught, it combines all the teach ings of ages, all tho faith of puiesl minds, all tho creed that can avail to make the world better and holier for all time. And this in fact was the real teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. All else put forth ih his name is dogma oycrlying tho simple and ossontial truth." Tim Muswulo Gontrovumy. A Washington dispatch says: The controversy which has been general among tho Masonic fraternity through out the country respecting tho Cer neau Scottish rite has culminated hero in tho issue of an edict by Harrison Dingma, Most Worthy Grand Master of Masons of tho District of Columbia, under date of July 2fith, pronouncing the Ccrneau organization clandestine, and warning all the members of that rite that they are liable to discipline from tho Grand Lodge unless thoy at onco withdraw from said Ccrneau body. Tho main reason for tho edict, asido from other questions arising in tho Scottish lito controversy, is stated to bo Unit tho Ccrneau organization has established relations of amity and Masonic correspondence with tho Grand Orient of France, tho governing body of Masons in that country, which is under tlio ban of at least every English-speaking Grand Lodge in tho world, because tho Grand Orient baa stricken the name of God from its rituals. Tho Grand Lodge of this country, it. is said, have an additional grievance against tho Grand Orient of Prance, because the latter persists in recognizing the negro Grand Lodges of tho United States. l'lrrs In tho iUoiuitntiiH.
