THE OREGON SCOUT. A1I0S K. JONKS UDITOIt, City and County Official Paper. Thursday, Sept. 20, 1881). HOW TANNIC It WENT OUT. From Eastern papers, says the Knst Oregonian, wo learn tlio full particu lars and "true inwardness" of the deposition of Tanner from the office of Pension Commissioner. From these reports it is evident that the credit of Tanner's dismissal belongs entirely to Secretary Noble. The president knew when ho nppoinled Tanner what an utterly unfit man ho was, and knew afterwards of his monstrous squander ing of government money, but was still dctei mined to keep him in office, until .Secretary Noblo plainly told the little petty politician who is playing the role of president that either Tan ner must go at once, else he, Noblo would resign, and in justification would publish the results of his inves tigations in the afl'airs of the Tension office. Pending the decision of the little p. p., Noble suspended Tanner, who swore he didn't ease a d n for Noble's suspension ; but the little p. p. in a few hours concluded to call for Tanner's resignation. All his actions showed, ho acted all the way thiough and fmnlly decided, solely in the sup posed "interest of the party," without any reference whatever to the interests of the people. A few instances of the scandalous "re-rating" of pension office clerks by themselves and ono another, that .Sec retary Noblo discovered, are as follows: Capt. Henry Phillips was chief of tho Middle Division of the Patent of fice, at a salary of $2000 per year, and received n re-rating of .$:i500, where upon ho celebrated by giving a ban quet to his fellow clerks, at which Tanner himself was present. Phillips' good luck was shaied by Frank A Putts, chief of the Army and Navy division, who received $2000; by W. .1. HillgosH, chief of tho Eastern Divis ion, $1700; by Capt. Smith, of the Cortilicato Division, $2000; and Capt. Hdward Fngel, $1000. Not long since Tanner paid out a single series of warrants, and within a few days more than $75,000 in eleven re-rated pension cases. I'rominont among these eases was that of Hiram Smith, .lr., Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, who received $(i0:)f.72. Hichard Whiting, of St. Louis, re ceived tho largest amount, $12,2f)l.f!). Ceo. W. Clark, who had for several years drawn a liberal pension, was re rated and pocketed the sum of $i)()2;U)'.). Lewis Malm's caso was reviewed and ho received, as re-rated pension, tho sum of $(ij:!r.72. Frank Hoso got a pension check for $(!0!)5.72 as his share of tho surplus. Chas. Lovely had his caso reopened, and under Tanner's instructions, was awarded $1)012.12 in arrears. l'hilo Hieico, already generously pensioned for disability inclined in tho lino of duty, was re-rated by Tan nor and scooped in $01111.72. Henry A. ICireh's ease was in many respects identical with that of Pierce, ami ho also caught on to the tune of $0:111.72. Cardenio llruco, of Kansas, also $0:112.72. John S. Fay received $(i:U1.8i. Henry Funking shared in tho got big grab to tho extent of $52:11.05. And so t hoy were dividing up the surplus among themselves, and Tan ner and Millionaire Lemon were got ting tho lion's share, and the little p. p. was backing tho whole nefarious business, until Noble, who seems to be an oasis in this Sahara of official cor ruption, could not stand it any longer, and kicked Tanner out over tho head of tho little p. p. oi.i:vi;i.anis :oika;i:. Don, M. Dickinson, of Michigan, in a recent interview, said : "It is too early to tell who will be (ho candidate, but let mo say this: Mr. Cleveland's message as a patriotic measure, was in no sense a mistake, though, when Mr. Cleveland proposed to send it nut all tho eminent protec tion democrats of tho east, such as Price, Ciormau, Whitney and others, went to the president and protested against its being issued before the election. They told hint that his suc cess was certain and there was no tuo of jeopardizing his chances by pro mulgating the message. He hiiiii-ulf admitted that his ro-oleetion was cer tain at that time, but to all their ar guments ho maintained that if tho jnessagti was postponed, tho gmnd op portunity of a national campaign to educate tho people upon tho tarill' question would be lc. . liu v .i n of congress would conn wi;h m- j i;i'i lar instruction upon the subject. The result would be timidity, if o"' ImI; hcarted measures, and a postr in nr in of any substantial advance for four r eight years. The president's position was that he had no selfishness regard ing his election, and so he went foi waid to make a sacrifice of himeelf for the principles of his party. He insist ed, against the protests of political and personal fiionds, that the proper results would follow, even if he sacri ficed the presidency. The great re sult which ho do3irod has followed, and that is 11 united democratic pa-ty, the conversion of those democrat who were disposed to coquet with tho pro tective heresy, the dissemination of true principles and a success which is assuredly in sight. kkaoinc aivhkt:si:munts. In an address delivered at jt. Wayne, Indiana, Colonel Pierce, of the Chicago News, presented some thoughts with reference to advertising. Jn the course of his remarks (ho raid: "A man may uover realize tho full benefit of advertising until he hafl placed the matter before the people fifty or one hundred times. The first 'ad' is good, but tho one hundrcth is worth more than five hundred times as much, as the first time a man sees an advertisement ho does not see it. The second time he does not notice it. The third time ho is dimly conscious of it. The fouith time he dimly re members something of the kind before. The fifth lime be half loads it. The sixth time he half turns up his nose at it. Tho seventh time he throws tho paper down impatiently. The eighth time ho ejaculates, 'There's that con founded thing again!' Tho ninth time he wonders if there is anything in it. The tenth time he thinks it might possibly suit somebody else's caso. The eleventh time he thinks ho will ask his neighbor if he's tried it or knows anything about it. Tho twelvth time he wonders if tho advor tiscr can make it pay. The thirteenth time ho rather thinks it must be a good thing. Tho fourteenth time he happens to think it is just what he wanted. The fifteenth time ho for a long time resolves to try it as soon as he can allbnl it. Tho sixteenth time he examines the address carefully and makes a memorandum of it. The seventeenth time he is tantalized to think lie is hardly ablo to pay for it. The eighteenth time ho sees painfully how much ho is in need of thit partic ular article. The nineteenth time ho counts his money to see how much ho would have loft if he bought it. The twentieth time ho rushes frantically forth and buys it." Farmer and Precder.
