The interview with Pension Commis
sioner Tanner, published in the Inter
Ocean of Sunday, was largely devoted to
clearing up misapprehensions, or willful
misapprehensions, ae the case may be,
of hie position.- Everaince hie appoint
ment there has seemed to be a studied
effort to put him in a false light. Indeed,
it began when his appointment
merely one of the might-he's. He
represented as in favor of shoveling out
the public money to old soldiers with in
discriminate prodigality on the theory
that they all ought to have pensions for
the asking. There was no foundation
for anything of the kind. He has no
theory of pensions beyond a faithful ex
ecution of the law as made by congress,
and in cases of doubt giving the pen
sioner the benefit of the doubt. Presi
dent Cleveland's policy was to seize upon
every technicality or pretext for with
holding a pension. The Tanner policy
is only simple justice. Even in a crim
inal prosecution the individual is en
titled to that benefit, not on the ground
of mercy but of fair dealing, and much
more should that policy obtain in the
case of soldiers who are applicants for
pensions.
The underlying principle of pension
payments is justice, not charity. The
old soldier who knocks at the door of
the pension office is not a mendicant
seeking alma On the contrary he is a
workman worthy of his hire. The gov
ernment had always pensioned its hon
orably discharged soldiers, under cer-.
tain conditions, the government itself
being the sole judge of the conditions.
It was perfectly well understood at the
time of enlistment that the United
States looked after its ex-soldiers
through the Pension Bureau. We have
had three wars, and a pension roll in
connection with each. No formal words
were needed to make that feature of the
contract intelligible and binding. The
government could not afford to pay any
thing like what the service was worth at
the time, for it was hard pressed for
funds, and the pension roll is a part of
the original cost of war.
The non-pensioned portion of the na
tion is not impoverished by these pay
ments. The pensioners do not go abroad
to spend the money they receive from
month to month. Neither do they spend
it on imported luxuries. They are poor
people who stay at home from necessity
and expend their stipends in the pur
chase of the necessaries of life. Each
summer millions of American money are
expended in foreign lands and go to the
enrichment of Europe, but the millions
which are monthly paid to pensioners go
almost immediately into the channels of
domestic exchange.
There is something demoralizing in
being an object of charity, however de
serving the person may be of pity, and
it would be cruel injustice to place the
ex-soldier in that category. He will
never be paid for his services. Money
can not compensate him for his priva
tions, hardships, and dangers he en
countered in his country's behalf. Nor
can any country afford to assume that
these deferred payments are eleemosy
nary in character. Inter Ocean.

PRODUCED A DAGGER.
Screams of -'Jack the Ripper" and of
murder attracted crowds of men and
women from all directions. Among the
first arrivals at the scene were several
members of the local vigilance associa
tion, which has only just resumed its
work. Before the man had time to get
far he was seized and a
drradfui. struggle ensued.
He had a long knife in his hand and it
was some time before he could be de
prived of it Eventually it was taken
from him. Even then his fight for lib
erty was of a most determined nature.
In the midst of the fray the woman
crawled away. Police whistles were
heard in all directions. A great number
of officersj both of the city and metro
politan force, appeared on the scene.
When the police reached the spot the
man was cut and
bleeding profusely
from wounds inflicted by the crowd,
which had raised the cry "lynch him''
and were throwing all kinds of missiles
at the exhausted prisoner. Under strong
escort cf police he was got to the police
station, where he was charged. In re
ply he said: "The woman robbed me."
When asked why he drew the dagger, he
replied that he had done so in self de
fence. He said he was a sailor and gave
a Scotch name, adding that he had ar
rived from South Shields about a week
Lago. When asked where he was on the
morning of the 17th inst, he could not
say. He did not know where he had
stayed while in London. A small knife
was found in his possession, together
with his seaman discharge papers.
ANOTHER MURDER REPORTED.
A World special from London, dated
July 20th, says: At 3:30 this morning
another murder of "Jack the Bipper"
class, and capture of the murderer re
ported. This last crime occurred just
outside the Whitechapel district, near
London bridge. Shrieks of a woman
heard from the rear of St George's
buildings. The police caught the man
as he was running away, knife in hand.
It was reported that the woman's throat
was cut and the body mutilated.
Another special of the 20th says: The
man who gave himself up yesterday and
confessed that he had committed the
crimes laid to the door of "Jack the
Bipper," says his name is Win. Brady
Today he told the police magistrate that
the confession he made yesterday was a
true one, whereupon the magistrate re
manded him for a week.

Nelson Driggs and his confederate, Ger
tie Driggs, two of the most notorious
counterfeiters in this country, had been
arrested by the secret service detectives.
A decoy deal has been in progress for
some time between the detectives and
Driggs for the sale of $25,000 in $10
United States Treasury notes. Driggs
agreed to the sale, and yesterday met
the Treasury agents at a place near Day
ton to turn over the spurious money.
Seeing himself caught, he made a des
perate resistance to arrest, and succeed
ed in severely wounding one- of the
detectives. Driggs has been repeatedly
arrested, and is considered the most
skillful counterfeiter in existence. The
Treasury Department officials say that
his arrest is the most important one ever
maae Dy tne secret service Bureau.
Dayton, Ohio, July 19. Captain John
S. Bell, Chief of the Government Secret
Service, will take Nelson Driggs and his
wife and baby and Mrs. Mary Brown to
jail at Cincinnati for complicity in the
counterfeiting deal that was turned up
yesterday. Driggs, who is 80 years old,
is out, under the escort of detectives,
visiting friends in hopes of getting $10,

Considering the prominence it has
held, especially in these later years, Ire
land is but s small country. The entire
area is only 32,000 square mike, about
two-fifths that of our state of Nebraska.
A small island to 'command the attention
it now has of the civilized world. We
have not far to seek the cause. A sturdy
little nation, loving liberty, and bravely,
if not always wisely, insisting upon her
rights from a great nation, wickedly op
pressing her.
Though the area, including her vast
stretches of mountains and bog bonds,
which cover one-seventh of the island, is
so limited, it has a population of over
5,000,000, and, before the great famine of
'46 and subsequent huge emigration, had
over 8,000,000.
It will best serve my purpose, before
entering upon the more descriptive parts,
to speak briefly ot the political troubles
that have so long and sorely disturbed
the country. It was my desire, during
my visit, to learn real facts, whether
they accorded with my sympathies and
preconceived opinions or not and I tried
to study both sides fairly and carefully,
both while in Ireland and afterward
during my longer stay in England.
Time will not permit me to discuss the
matter at length, but some general facts,
as I learned them while on the ground,
and some incidents which I shall refer
to, further along, may be of use to those
of you who care to havo a clearer notion
of the much discussed Irish question.'
First, the conservative party in Eng
land profess to believe, at least, that
home rule for Ireland means entire sepa
ration from Great Britain, at least, they
claim, it would result in that, and say,
that under the circumstances, the island
is too near for a separate government
In this they are clearly right Again,
they claim that the Irish have no just
cause of complaint. If they would
quietly obey the laws, trouble would
cease. To prove that they are not pre
pared for home rule, which means local
government, they cite the resistance to
laws, and especially to the disturbances,
riots and bloodshed, so frequently oc
curring in connection with evictions.
In short, they claim the Irish to be a re
bellious, troublesome race, needing to be
restrained and governed by the most
stringent laws, ijet us iook lor a mo
ment at their grounds for these claims.
In Ireland, the land is not tilled by
those who own it,as with us,but held by
larger estates which are divided into
parcels, cultivated by those who lease
them. Leases are usually for a series of
years. Formerly the same family fre
quently occupied the same farm or hold
ing for several generations. When our
cheaply raised grain and meat began to
find their way across the water, prices of
Irish produce declined and it became
more difficult for the Irish tenants to
pay their large rents. In many in
stances, entirely impossible. The result,
evictions. That is, the delinquent ten
ant was forced to leave the farm which
may hare been their home for years, and
on which he expected to spend the re
mainder of his life. He may have put
valuable improvements upon it, for
which he will get no remuneration. He
has not money enough to get to Ameri
ca. Has no place to go, except he take
the place on another estate from which
some other delinquent like himself has
been driven. He imagines, at least, that
he is wronged, and when the agent comes
to order him away he refuses to go,
peacefully. Sometimes a score of ten
ants on the same estate have notice to
leave at the same time. They talk over
their grievances. The result is, com
bined resistance, which, when the time
comes, is often encouraged by the pres
ence of large numbers of sympathising
neighbors and friends. Not unfrequent
ly the priest and member of parliament
are present Then come the scenes
cited as showing the rebellious character
of the Irish peasantry, and their unfit
ness for self government If it is but a
single family or two, to be evicted, the
police make easy and quick work of it
If a number of strong handed farmers
are ordered to leave the same estate, the
resistance is often long and bloody.
Sometimes the scenes at these evictions
are quite pathetic I remember one in
stance where a sick woman not expected
to live, was roughly carried out on her
bed and left in the street The 'crying
of women and children on being thrust
from their homes is often touching.
Sometimes the scenes are desperate and
bloody, but the final results are always
the same. Soon or later the tenants
are driven from their holdings. How
futile the efforts of a few farmers,
against the will of their landlords, back
ed by 12,000 English constables, and
they by regiments of English soldiers
quartered in all parts of the island, who
have the great English parliament be
hind them.
That there is much resistance to law
ful authority in Ireland, and that .it
often results in furious disturbance and
bloodshed, there is no doubt Before
looking for a cause for this, I wish to
speak of the feeling I met with in Eng
land toward Americans about this mat
ter. Many times Englishmen said -to me
that they wondered at Americans espous
ing the cause of the Irish, when they
were the occasion of so much trouble at
home. They cannot believe but we owe
all our riots, labor troubles, eta, to the
Irish, among us, who, they are sure, are
all bad, and only bad. Their knowledge
of the Irish in this country's confined
to what they know about them in our
great centers, as New York and Chicago,
where the worst element of our foreign
population is found. It seems to be im
possible for an Englishman to conceive
of a large number of Irish on farms and
in villages all over our country thrifty,
law-abiding, respected citizens; I had
no idea of the bitterness entertained by
a class of Englishmen toward us, before
visiting England, and if they were right
in their position toward the Irish, I
would not blame them for their hatred
of us. They claim that had it not been
for the moral support the Irish and their
leaders have received from this side of
the water, the. matter would have been
settled long ago, and I believe they are
right about this. -But I'm sure it would
have been settled the wrong way. But
what is worse, they accuse us of low
motives claim our friendship is simply
a bid for the Irish vote.
During the early part of winter I spent
a week at Florence, Italy. At the same
boarding place was an
highly educated, Christian woman,
thoroughly familiar with European mat
ters and among the best informed about
our Amerioan people, I had
conversation one evening she had
favorably of some of our institutions,
when she remarked that England would
like to retain her friendship for America,
but our conduct made it very hard to do,
and then spoke of our government not
ratifying the fisheries treaty as being all
wrong, and said its treatment of Lord
Sackville was most wicked and disgrace
fuL Said she could not speak her con
tempt for a government that would
stoop to do such acts merely to influence
a few Irish votes. Said that our whole
treatment of England in the Irish mat
ter was all wrong. I had learned that
it was little use to attempt argument
in such cases, but ventured the remark
that I did not think America wished to
interfere with English affairs, but that
many of our people felt that it would be
better, for all concerned, if the Irish had
more liberty in conducting their home
matters. Her eyes fairly flashed as she
said: UI do not wish to be rude, sir, but
I must say to you it is none of you
Americans business." She was a genu
ine lady and she at once apologized for
her manner, but, though less spiritedly,
no less decidedly insisted on her posi
tion, and she fairly expressed the feel
ings of most of the so-called higher class
es of English society. And why not?
Looking from their standpoint, they
certainly make a strong case against
Irish home rule, and so, against us for
sympathy with them. Had I gone to
England, as most tourists do, without
going into Ireland, I should have return
ed greatly perplexed, if not quite con
vinced that home rule is all wrong. I
can understand now, why so many
Americans visiting England come home
with their faith in the Irish cause
shaken.
Let us look at the other side for a mo
ment And first, except a few extrem
ists, the separation of Ireland from
Great Britain is neither urged nor de
sired. The home rule party, including
Mr. Parnell and Mr. Gladstone, its best
and most powerful exponents, most em
phatically oppose dismemberment But
they claim it is possible for Ireland to
remain in the government, and yet,
without injury to the rights of any, have
control of her own local affairs, and that
in justice, she should have. This is the
gist of the whole home rule matter. But
how can this be in view of the disorder,
rebellions, riots and bloodshed that have
been so frequent for years? I can only
give you my impressions after close ob
servations, and some facts gathered on
the ground. First, four-fifths of all the
land in Ireland is possessed by 3,750
proprietors; each holding upwards of
1,000 acres. More than one-half of all
the land in Ireland is held by 749 per
sons. Fourteen men each, own beiween
50,000 aud 100,000 acres of Irish soil, and
three men own upwards of 100,000 acres
each. I would like to have these figures
taken with all their meaning, if possible,
because I believe in this holding the
bulk ot the land by the few, is to be
found not only the source of the Irish
trouble, but much of the trouble in
other European nations. Imagine, if
you can, four-fifths of the land in the
eastern half of Nebraska being owned by
3,700 men in blocks of from two to three
sections to a whole county, and so held
that it would be next to impossible to
change ownership. Suppose, we who
look to the soil for a living, were obliged
to rent our farms from those men, here
and there as we could, and that at ex
orbitant rents. Think you it would
interfere any with the peace and pros
perity of the state?
But how did this state of affairs come
about in Ireland? It came about by
the lands of loyal hearted men. who
stood by their country in times of
trouble, being confiscated and given, in
great estates, to men loyal to their
enemy's government But you say this
occurred centuries ago, much of it, and
present proprietors are not to blame.
Very true, but it it was our own case,
would it not leave a sore place? Would
we not feel that the government should
do something toward mitigating the
great wrong done by its predecessors,
even if done centuries ago?
It is true the English parliament has
recently voted a considerable sum to be
used, ostensibly for the purpose of assist
ing the tenants to buy lands, by making
loans to them, but really in the interest
of the landlord who wants to sell his
lands at prices greater than could be
otherwise obtained. I cannot go into
this matter here but to one giving it
careful attention, it is very clear.. So
much so I wonder at some American

There are other aggravating circum

small portion of them have their perma

homes are in London or on the conti

agents, whose personal interests urge
them to collect the most rent possible,

last Saturday, the team became fright

John Zeilinger and family, living a

roof, knocking to pieces a bedstead im

the boys was sleeping, then descending
into the sleeping apartments of the old
folks it made kindling wood of their bed

and threw both the occupants out upon
the floor, where Mr. Zeilinger found
himself covered with plaster and debris
upon regaining consciousness, and yet
nobody was injured beyond being stun
ned into unconsciousness for a few mo
ments. The house was badly used up,
shingles and boards being torn off, and
partitions shattered, yet nothing was set
afire. The whole family was stunned,
and it is wonderful that all escaped with
their lives. One of the boys sleeping in
a part of the house remote from where
the bolt struck, on a straw matrass, was
the most severely used. The others
credit their escape, which appears mi
raculous, to the fact that they were
sleeping on feathers. The damage to
the building is shout $500 and is cover
