-KE-BATISU. "Re-rating" i the leve bv which Tan ner expected to raise the huge surplus now embelded in the vaults ol the treat. ury and catter it among hit particular friends. This "re rating" is done in this way : The papers on file in the pension office of some one who has already been granted a pension, are taken up and re-examined, and then the department decides that such person is not drawing as large a pension as the evidence in the case shows that he is entitled to. The pensioner is re-rated," that it he it declared to be en titled, for example, to $25 per month in stead of $i5,the amount heretofore drawn. Thi pensioner not only receives his $25 per month from the time of "re rating" hence, but If he has been drawing a pen sion for 10 years this increase applies to back pay as well, and one thus re-rated would receive $10 per month for the 20 years, which wauld amount to the hand some of $2400. A pensioner who claims to know says that from all over Oregon applications for re-examination and "re rating" are daily going forward to the de partment, and this grows out of the very prevalent believe that Tanner will allow anything asked for. The following are names of some who have been "re-rated." (not re-examined t all,) recently by Tan ner : Geo W Clark, who had for several years drawn a liberal pension, was icrated, and pocketed the turn of $5,623.99. Lewis Malta's case was reyiewed,and he received, as rented pension, $6,035. 72. Frank Rose got a pension check for $6, 035.72 as his share of the surplus. Charles Lovely had his case reopened, and, under Tanner's instructions, was awarded $6,042.12 in arrears upon rerating. Philo Bierce, already generously pen tioned for disability Incurred in the line of duty, was rerated by Tanner, and scooped in $6,341.72. Henry A Kirsch't case was in many re tpectt identical with that of Bierce, and he alto caught on to the tune of 16,341.72. The ti cases above described, taken to gether with five others whose names we have mislaid make eleven, with a grand total of $72,622.92 whch Richard Whit. ing, of St Louis, received $12,251.59, and the Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, Hiram Smith, himself pocketed $6,035.72, These astonishing figures recall the de claration Corporal Tanner made on the occasion of a banquet tendered by grateful Capt Henry Phillips at Johnson's hotel. Phillips was Chief of the Middle Division of the Patent Office at a salary of $2,000 And received a mating of $3,50,whereup on he celebrated. Wine had circulated freely at the banquet whea Tanner rose and declared that though he might be crippled in body he was sound in mind,and if hit good right arm held out he would yet make a big hole in thatsurplus,a senti ment which was vociferously cheered, Phillip's good luck was enjoyed by several of his fellow officials who had rerated one another. Frank A Butts, chief of the army and navy division, received $2,000 ; V J Hilligoss, chief if the Eastern division, $1,700 ; Capt Smith, of the certificate di vision, $2,00,and Capt E Engle,$:,000. INDECENT HASTE." I'nder Cleeland'sadminlstratlon repub licans were wont to dilate upon the inde cent haste of democrats to get office, and they were "hungry" to be sure, having been eating the hard tack ol obscurity for twenty-five leng years, but nothing In all that democratic rush for the spoils of vic tory will compare with the utter heartless ness of two republican spoils hunters who live in Salem. Some weeks ago whtn the late R II Dearborn.postmasterat that pUce, was cast down on a bed of sickness and every one knew that death was near at hand, these two "civil service reformers,'' as typified in Harrison's letter of accept ance, were rush'ing over the city w!lh peti tions asking to be appointed as postmaster at that place nvSii a vacancy should oecur Of course this was in contemplation of the death of Mr Dearborn. The mad ambition for office makes fooN of a great many men, and not all of them are democrats, either. Kid Cloves 1 Kid U loves 1 ! I have just rece.ved a full line of kid gloves branded Our Own.
