grounds and without reasons. Do not say any
more that everybody swears to lies that whole
neighborhoods conspre to perjury and fraud
and that the very officers of your own selection
and appointment join to defraud the Govern
ment. Do not say this if you cannot prove it. IF
you can prove it, punish the offenders as the
law requires.
There is such thing as official .aundice, that
blinds the eye, darkening the mind, and preju-
dices the judgment; that looks for evil in all
things and all men, and the outlook from the
nigh places of the Pension Office seem to be of
the most melanchoic and bilious hue
A little healthy exercise a little more ming
ling with actual living men and women; lit
tie more faith in human nature and less in
official nature, would soon restore the patient
to a normal, uncolored, undistorted vision to
better digestion; to a more hopeful frame of
mind, and an appreciation of the fact that this
world is not absolutely a failure, and that it
will continue to go on even should the new bill
for the creation of sixty travelling members of
the medical staff Of the Commissioner of Pen
sions be defeated, as we hope it will.
The National tribune., 1878-02-01
The commissioners Bill.

We print in full for the examination of our
numerous readers, the bill prepared By the
Commissioner Of Pensions and introduced into
the House Of Representatives by the Hon A.
" Rice, of Ohio.
This gentleman will hardly assume the pa
ternity of this measure, when he shall have
thoroughly studied its purpose and effects.
However severe may have appeared our criti-
cism upon this measure heretofore careful ex
animation and dissection of its aims and ends
will show good reason for much severer terms.
If this bill, or anything like it, should pass
Congress, the title should be changed 50 as to
fit the bill. 1t should be entitled /" A bill to
diminish the number OF pensioners at the ca
price OF the Commissioner; to prevent poor and
disabled claimants from presenting their cases
to create medical aristocracy, and to central
ize all jurisdiction in pension matters in Wash
ington
We have in previous numbers stated the pal
pable defects in the system proposed, but this
blll comes now with the full weight of the
Pension Office behind it and crushes out the
rights of hundreds and thousands of men the
most deserving of all who have claims against
the United States
1t seems as if it was an inevitable fact, that
as soon as man becomes an officer of the Gov
ernment, he forgets that governments are not
constituted for themselves but for the benefit
OF the people who make them AT once there
arises an assertion of distinct difference be-
tween the interest of the people and the Gov
emment Mr.. Bentley has forgotten that the
pension laws We're made for the benefit of the
pensioners, not to accommodate Commissioners
and clerks. These latter are only the machinery
TO bring about an end, but not the end itself.
The one thing which the law contemplates is /
The National tribune., 1878-02-01
Payment of Bountes to Soldiers and their Heirs

The appropriation for this purpose ceased on
the Both of June, 1877. Claims are piled up in
the Second Auditors Office, and no money to
pay them.
Yet Congress has been in session since last
October, quarreling over all sorts of things; but
the Committee on Appropriations has not found
time to report and pass this bill to meet the just
debts of the Government
Is it not time to do justice? And is not this
delay useless and unnecessary?
The National tribune., 1878-02-01


pauper and without means, then he must paw
in some way the expenses of his examination,
or be cut off from his claim. Those who have
friends or means or comparative health can 90
to the board and be examined at the cost of the
Government, but those who are too poor or dis
abled entirely must pay the commission for
coming to them, or pay such other officer such
fees as the Commissioner may prescribe The
proposition is an outrage upon humanity.
But the concluding sentence of this section
deserves notice.
Notwithstanding that the Commissioner of
Pensions has by this section created a special
commission to replace the present examining
surgeons for the avowed reason that he does
not trust them and therefore supersedes them
by another set deserving more confidence, we
find that he cannot trust those whom he has
thus created, for at the end of this section he
reserves the right at his will and pleasure, to
call together board of three to make these
same medical and surgical examinations
Now let it be remembered that all these ex-
aminations are required to be in writing. to
state not opinions but facts actually obseryed, to
become the basis of opinion here in Washing
ton by the medical referee, and it becomes diff
cult to imagine the necessity or excuse for three
men to do what one competent man ought to
perform Or does he mean to admit the prob
able ncompetency of these new appointees?
1t looks exceedingly like the multiplication
of offices, and the increase of travel fees
Section provides for the appointment of
pension surgeons, not to exceed sixty, with not
less than five years active practice in medicine
and surgery, and, if possible who have had ex-
perience as army and navy surgeons, to hold
commissions at the pleasure of the Secretary of
the Interior, and with salary Of dollars.
There is no provision for their appointment
from the limits Of any district; nothing to re-
quire them to be resident any where no limita-
tion Of numbers to be selected from any State
or Territory, and they may be all selected, even.
from the District of Columbia.
Mr. Bentley has already given his opinion in
his report as to the assumed disadvantage of an
examining surgeon living in the neighborhood
of those whom he examines, and has instanced
wonderful results obtained by translating DR..
Clarke from Wisconsin to New York Cat cost
ofnearly one thousand dollars per month .)sothat
it may safely be presumed that all these limita-
tions are purposeIy left out and, taking this
in connection with the travelling expenses al
lowed elsewhere in the bill he makes out a very
pretty opportunity for his special friends to
travel where they wish at Government expense.
Some pension surgeon residing, when at home,
in Maine is assigned, we will say to California
and makes his trip at the expense of the United
States; or DIR, Clarke, of Wisconsin, visits Flor
ida.
In the course of few years, with little
friendship at headquarters, clever fellow could
travel over all the desirable parts of the United
States under this economical bill.
The salary is left blank, but it cannot be less
than $4,000 per annum. No physician or sur

y and as safely as possible; to give all possible
facilities to the wounded and disabled of all
classes to present and prove their claims before
the lneXorabe death, which hangs around them
makes such relief unmailing. This is one
branch of the service in which a false economy
is crime. Delay is cruelty, ard postponement
is frequently starvation.
Above all men the Commissioner of Pensions
should be the last to lend himself to any scheme
which would unnecessarily hinder or delay the
speedy settlement of these claims He is in
office as the guardian and nearest friend of the
soldier the widow and orphan; the agent of
the nation to see that its bounty is Justly and
rapidly handed over to proper recipients.
That is the high tenor of his commission, but
he has fallen sadly below it when he listened
to the adviser who shaped the present bill
We propose to demonstrate from the bill it.
self that it is most ingenious contrvance to
heap up delay, cost and expense upon claimants
OF pension and those who now enjoy pensions
that it will build up class of favorite officers
at large salaries and unlimited expense, to travel
over this country in all pleasant places with
gerous power to the head of the office that It
cannot but delay hinder, and in many cases
totally deny the opportunity of hearing Just
claims; that it slurs the truthfulness, honesty.
and intelligence of the existing examining sur
geons; that it substitutes slow, selfimportant
and wholly irresponsible body of men in their
place, and that it has not even the paltry ex-
cuse of saving money to the United States.
1t IS a measure to magnify the Pension Office
and its employees; to centralize the whole sys-
tenn here at Washington; to escape the whole
some effect of neighborhood watchfulness. and
to establish petty tribunals Of unlimited power
and unlimited arrogance all over the country.
Now, without any desire to state things ex-
travagantly, these are our ideas as to the pur-
pose and effect OF Mr.. Bentley's bill There
fore it is that we throw into this opposition to
it our full strength, and intend if we can to de-
feat it,
We now take it up section by section and
will see if it deserves the criticism we have
given and we ask every one of our readers to
read over carefully each section of this bill and
then consider our comments upon it,
Section / provides for districting the United
States into not more than sixty districts, for
the designation of posts or places where ex-
aminations shall be nad and testimony taken
in pension cases At least one annual session
of. the commission shall be had at each post,
and more if practicable
To this we say that even the maximum num-
Der of sixty is wholly insufficient to make the
examinations required to be made and do JUS
tice either to the United States or the claimant.
and that it win be impossible for such commits
sion, in many districts, to attend at more than
one post
Section ?. That the commission shall consist
of one pension surgeon and one clerk from the
pension office; that these shall make all the
medical and surgical examinations authorized
