Pension Examining Boards.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

To the Editor n NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Like yOur correspondent 3" Adiutant," I, too,
have complaint to make, not against the
Pension Office, but against some of the ex-
amining boards. Colonel Dudley has DONE
and is doing, all he can Tor the boys, bat think
a little inquiry into the conduct Of seme of the
men before whom they are ordered would do
no harm. 1 give The TRIBUNE two cases:
Not long ago a soldier, who was badly wounded
at the Petersburg mine, applied for q pension,
and was ordered before a board in the northern
part of Pennsylvania, suffering from a wound
that has been running sore since 1S64, aad
which has disabled him more than If ne had
lost limb. and, as 'Adiutant says, " is a
constant drain on his vital forces and keeps
him IN poor health This man was rejected BY
the board, and why, Heaveu alone knows yet,
because Of his rejection, be must 90 on suffer-
ing and probably want. In his case the ac-
tion of the board was neither right nor just
Another: Some time ago a soldier, who was
twice wounded, made an application for an IN
crease, (he now receives - per month, believe,l
and was ordered before surgeon IN town near
Philadelphia for examination Alter his ex-
animation he the soldier left for MS home,
and III q few days discovered the doctor had. by
mistake, given him, in an unsealed envelope,
the report, marked favorable for an increase,
and the soldier hurried back with it aud ex-
planned he had probably been given the wrong
recommended an increase for me" The doctor
took the paper and tore it to atoms, reIaarkiHg,
" Yes; but tbaJ is ali the good it wiii Go YOU"
He was right; the soldier never goG the III
crease. Yet this man, now IN his dO5age has
at his mercy nearly every soldier who is ORDER
ed before him, and, of course, Injustice is done
to the boys 1t IS weIi enough t0lo0k after pen
sion claimants, but it might be well enough 70
look after some Of the examining surgeons, too.
Men with one foot Ia the grave are not the ones
70 be on duty TO examine wounds contracted
twenty years ago. Let Us have men who un-
derstand their business, but who do not look
on soldiers as a bore when they come 60 be
examined. 1t is their right to be fliriy exam
ined, and the surgeons business 70 do it. This
latter doctor had not the courage to ego into
service himself, bat remained aJ home, aud
now subjects the boys to such treatment as I
have mentioned. Let Uncle sam look after
such cases, and, perhaps, two brave and worthy
soldiers may yet get justice. VETERAN.

of Ohio for the first six months of the present
year averaged 1000 per month. a very re-
markable showing indeed, but ii is believed
that when all the reports are in for the third
quarter it viii show still greater gains. The
particular ambition of the present adnllnistra-

partment in membership by the close of this

plish that object.
