he Says
''The stpulations binding the pension claimant TO
pay a specific amount are substantial parts OF the
agreement, and the whole instrument is subject to
your approval. Con1dlng your action TO matters OF
FORM or to the ascertainment OF the genuneness OF
the agreement, narrows too much the effect OF the
statute, and defeats one OF its leading purposes
Instances have occurred In which sums far In excess
of the value OF the services rendered In prosecuting
pension claims have been exacted from the widows
and orphans OF soldiers. Congress no doubt at
tempted to suppress a fagrant abuse by the pr0vi-
sion under consideration, and by the penalties for
violating it, which set forth In another section,
while at the same time they secured the just rights
of the attorney by causing his fee to be paid by the
instIumentaty OF the officer who pays the PEN
sioner Your approval is requisite to give effect TO
Without 1t the stipulated amount cannot be deducted
from that due the pensoner."
This is certainly plain enough, and the
Commissioner of Pensions cannot complain
that he does not know his duty. Upon his
virtue depends whether the abuses aimed at
by the law can be checked and the payment of
twenty y-fve-dollar fees only be allowed in
extraordinary instances, when the difficulties
in the way of prosecuting a claim demand
extra remuneration. That the Commissioner
of Pensions is not the enemy of corruption
that we would like to see him is evidenced
by the fact that he has not removed Colonel
Forbes from his pension agency in this city,
Notwithstanding the expose that has been
made Of Irregularities in the management
of his Office. Independently of
all other considerations, Colonel Forbes, by
his own admissions, has violated the law by
discounting, at exorbitant rates, theclaims of
his pensioners, and this alone is a sufficient
reason for his removal. So long rs such
ttrraoularitiaqn az fhose of which ColOne
Forbes is accused are countenanced by the
Commissionersof Pensions, we cannot have
the most supreme faith in his incorruptible
virtue; and we sadly fear that the majority of
attorneys fees allowed by him under the new
law will be nearer twenty-five dollars than
ten

DIR. LANCASTER, the distinguished English physl-

what opportunely TO the value which should be at
tributed to weight in comparison with height when
testing the sOundness of the human frame. 1t is a
well-known fact that the tallest soldiers are less
able 20 bear fatigue and exposure than these whose
height is rather below the average and that the in
stances very rare in which longevity and great
stature have been combined. From stigations
made by DR.. Hutchinson and Mr.. Brent, it appears
that a person feet high ought TO weigh st. h.,
and that healthy man Increases for every addi-

any considerable divergence from these rules is OBJ

THE PA YMENT or PENS IONS

The Secretary of the Interior has written a
regard to his duties under the law passed at
the last session of Congress which defines
the amount of fees which agents or attorneys
are allowed to charge for their services in
prosecuting claims for pensions. The Secre-
tary states in a very clear and exact manner
precisely what are the responsibilities of the
Commissioner as the legal guardian alike of
the interests of the Government and of the
pensioners, and if his instructions are faith
fully carried out one of the main purposes
of the law will be fulfilled in all its integrity.
According to the law the prescribed fee for
procuring pension is ten dollars, but by
special agreement the agent or attorney is
permitted to charge twenty-five dollars, and
no more. The fee is to be deducted from the
pension when allowed and paid directly to
the attorney, but in case of larger fee than
ten dollars being charged the agreement to
that effect must be approved by the Commis-
sioDer of Pensions before the money can be
paid. 1t was obviously the intention of the
law to make it the duty of the Commissioner
Of Pensions to scrutinize the agreements be-
tween claimants and their agents with great
care, so as to protect ignorant persons from
imposition; and the Secretary of the Interior
states the purposes of Congress in providing
for the persons entitled to pensions this safe
guard against the cupidity Of the men in the
