The National tribune., 1877-12-01

Disabilities from disease are likely to grow
worse as time rolls on. Rheumatism of fifteen
years standing remains, as a rule, incurable
Consumption and other kindred diseases never
grow better, but generally proceed from one
stage of decay to another
1t may of course be that the pensioner may
have been rated too high; but this is not the act
of the local examiner but of the Medical Ref
cree, and Mr. Bentley very properly compli-
ments that officer for valuable duty performed.
The whole scheme of the proposed bill rests
upon the mistaken idea that the existing exam
lining officers are corrupt and negligent and that
the do not and will not report the truth.
We believe that this charge is wholly unde-
served, and, in all kindness to the Commissioner,
we feel bound to repel it.
The remedy proposed is worse than the al
legged disease.
1t is sought to send into districts surgeons
selected by the Commissioners, sent from distant
parts of the country, sent upon his judgment of
their competency and standing, sent for pur-
pose and that purpose known to them, specially
charged to find fraud wherever they can imag-
inc it to be, sent to reduce the rolls Of pension
ers, sent to reduce the rate of pension paid, and
every one of them knowing that their success
and standing with the Pension Office will de-
pend upon the amount of reduction they make
This is not the true spirit of the pension law,
nor is it equitable treatment to those who enjoy
or who seek to enjoy the honest results Of their
contract with the Government.
1t is exceedingly difficult to determine the
precise degree of disability in any given case.
There is nothing on which surgeons of the high
est regulations could more honestly and consci-
entiously differ, for it is matter of opinion in
almost every case.
Hitherto there has been general satisfaction
with the rules adopted and determinations had
! by the present Medical Referee His experience
4 is worth any fifty travelling surgeons.
Into how many districts it is proposed by the
Pension Office to divide the United States will
not be known until the bill is presented.
But admitting the largest number limited at,
say CO. and it is evident on casual inspection
that the duties attempted to be imposed upon
these go selected surgeons cannot be performed
so as to save the rights and permit the fair ex-
animation and decision of the multitude of
cases now pending. Nor is there anything in
the special education of surgeon that fits him
for the further duties of taking, preserving, and
deciding upon testimony.
The Commissioner seems to have dread of
sser part" testimony, but the lawmakers know
that no other testimony would fulfil the object
of the law, and that from the necessities of the
case much of the testimony offered by claim
ant must be er parte.
The fact of service is always provable and
proved by the record, and the injury for which
compensation is claimed is generally also mat
ter of record. In claims for disability by dis
ease incurred in service, the disabling effects OF
which appear long after discharge, proof must
be produced which could not be shaken
|by any discrimination.
The National tribune., 1877-12-01

they are competent for the duties they are called
ON to perform.
So far rs our personal acquaintance goes with
this class of officers, we have found them and
believe them to be honest and efficient. But
the Commissioners bill directly discredits all
this numerous body of professional men, and
stands wholly upon the unwarranted presump-
ton that they are incapable of intelligent dis
charge of duty or that they are improperly in
fuenced in some form in the statements which
they render. We do not believe it to be true
in fact, and the slur thus cast upon whole
class Of men is, in our judgment, unwarranted.
The Commissioner appears to be governed by
the notion that from ties of neighborhood and
other like causes they (the examining surgeons)
are incapacited from making reports which
would do justice to the United States.
cause examinations to be made by surgeons be-
syond the limits of their special locality and
where these causes do not exist.
He has or can have advisory boards entirely
separated from these local influences.
But what, after all, is the complaint? 1t
seems to be that on these examinations a suff-
cient number or proportion is not dropped from
the rolls or reduced in rate, and special atten-
ton is called in the Report to the results of the
results of the special mission of DR.. Almon
Clarke, in contrast with the results given by
the regular officials.
1t is needless to say that any man, selected as
DR.. Clarke was for the express purpose of prov
ing theory, would almost inevitably do his
best to fill the purpose for which he was sent,
and that it is scarcely possible but that his
knowledge OF the end and object of his mission
would largely influence his opinion. 1t would
have been a much fairer test to let DIR. Clarke
go over the ground formerly traversed by the
examining surgeon and report, as did the for
mer, the facts developed by the examination,
and see how far, if at all, he differed from the
previous statements made by the regular officers.
These cannot materially differ as to the FACTS
preeented on examination, though they may
differ very widely on matters of opinion based
upon the same state of facts; and so wide and
SO innocent may be the division of opinion that
it would be impossible for Mr. Bentley to send
another surgeon, no matter how great may be
his eminence and experience, who, following
over the same ground covered by DR.. Clarke,
would concur with him in any universal extent
in the matters of opinion as rendered by him.
The Commissioner sent DR.. Clarke for the
purpose of test of his system. 1t is little
doubtful from what section of the law he gained
the right to employ this agency, and we have
no certain knowledge of the cost of the expert
ment but believe it to have been one thousand
dollars. We have the Commissioners opinion
that he was competent to review the action OF
the local officers, and perhaps he was; but, after
all, the law does not make him the reviewing
officer, and, on the doctrine of probabilities
neither DIR. Clarke nor any other one man is
likely to know more of has duties than the 157e
regular examining surgeons of the office.

and the claimant as to the facts alleged by the
said claimant, and they are only likely, SO far
as we can see, to be vested with dangerous and
loose discretion, to be executed without recourse
or remedy against the claimant.
We have already stated in our last number
the argument against these district boards aris-
ing from their inconvenience.
Thus it would stand: In a territory half as
big as Illinois or New York there will be a
board of an imported surgeon, of high character
in the opinion of the Commissioner, and cherk
or two detailed from the Washington Office.
These will make a board, and the board will
have an Office or place of meeting, selected, as
they always are, for the convenience of the
board, not of the claimants.
Before this board all existing pensioners nrust
appear and be examined, rated and reduced All
claimants must also make their personal appear
ance and produce their witnesses in person. No
process is or can be given to compel the attend
ance of such witnesses. No day can be fixed in
advance when parties from particular counties,
even, shall appear, nor can the board give any
assurance that they can be heard on any given
day.
A widow with half dozen children, who
struggle with starvation upon the pittance she
earns by hard daily labor, with not one weeks
nor one days provision ahead, has notwithstand-
ing just claim against the United States for
pension on account of the services of the dead
husband and father.
As the law now stands she can make all the
proof at very slight expense, transmit it by mail
to Washington, and in due course receive her
pension.
AS the law will stand if the Commissioners
proposition goes into effect, she must travel at
her own expense at least Is to 20 miles, and In
some instances one or two hundred, must wait
until her turn comes before the board, must find
means to transport and maintain her witnesses
until heard and discharged, and cannot even
have the process of the United States to compel
their attendance. This would simply be de-
NAL of justice; Withholding of lawful dues
the more cruel and the more effective because
done under the pretense of administering justice
: and protecting the United States against fraud
We shall await with some anxiety the pre-
else form in which the Commissioners recon-
mendations will be embodied in the bill expect
ed to be introduced and shall have more to say
about it when the details of the measure are set
forth in due form.
We commend Mr.. Bentley for his sincere de-
sire to prevent the commission of frauds upon
the Government, but regret that this commend
able anxiety has led him to peril the great pur-
poses of the Pension Acts and to throw barriers
not intended by the law nor consistent with
justice and fair dealing in the way of the bene-
fciaries, for whom the law intended to make
provision by the shortest, easiest, most expedi-
tious, and cheapest mode

The test which has satisfied the Commissioners
of the probable good results of his proposed
change was made by Dr. Almon Clarke, of Wis

He is reported, under the special detail given
him, to have examined 491 pensioners in the

months, and received for his labor very nearly

the name OF T. +. Humphrey, a leweller a
Clarksville, Mecklenburg, county, ordering
solid, plain-gold ring, price not to exceed
S12. Garfield Brothers, thinking all was no

the Post Office Department OF their suspl

The matter was placed in the hands o.
two special agents (Messrs. Tidball and
Henderson,, who purchased the ring anG
sent it in letter to T. +. Humphrey
Clarksville, as directed. Morton being on
the lookout for the letter, distracted it from

T. THE MozAsr LAST NIGHT.-Oneof the

Association Hall was present last evening,

TIE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE RICHMOND
AyD PETERSBURG RAILRoAD.-Tbe accident
that occurred on the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad evening before last proves not
to have been as serious as at first repre-
sented. The accident occurred to the
northward-bound and miXed-train a few
miles south of this city. 1t was caused by
the pulling out of draw-head OF a car,
causing the train to separate. The rear
section ran into the front section gong
down grade and untracked five boX-carS
and some coal-cars. No one was hurt, and
no material damage was done except to
few coal-cars and the trucks OF two Other
cars. No freight was injured, and the road
was cleared before morning, and trains
passed as usual.
