AN IMPORTANT PENSION RULING.

Special Act Pensioners Entitled to Arrears
Under the General Law.
WASHINGTON CRY, June FIN granting
a pension TO Ollie NJ French, widow of
Jefferson French, Assistant Secretary Bussey
Saturday annulled the rule set down in the
Edwin r. Tucker case of Feb s, 1885, in
which it was held that the effect of special
act granting pension is to cut off the pen
sioner from all claim to arrears or any other
benefits provided by the general pension law.
Mrs. French's Case.
In the case in point French made applica-
ton in January, 1874, for pension, but his
claim was rejected for lack of evidence. He
then applied to congress and by special act
of June 20, 1874, was granted a pension.
French died in June, 1855. His widow filed
a claim for pension under the general law,
based upon the same disability alleged by
her husband in his invalid claim, and her
claim was admitted and pension allowed, to
commence from the date OF filing her declar-
alton.
Her Claim for Arrears Rejected.
She, however, claimed arrears under the
general law, which her husband would have
been entitled to had he completed his orig
inal invalid claim, and as she, in proving up
her cihinl, hau therefore cured any defect
that was originally in her husbands case,
shs filed an application for arrears of PEN
sion due her husband. The pension Office
rejected her claim, and the interior office
sustained the pension office on the ground
that her husband having received pension
under special act, neither ne nor she could
claim or receive anything under the general
pension law.
Bussey overrules this view of the meaning
OF the law and directs that Mrs French re-
ceive the accrued pension due her husband,
from the date of his discharge from the
service to the date of the commencement of
the pension granted him by the special act
In closing the case Bussey directs that all
cases of a similar nature (of which there are
many shall be adjudicated on the rules laid
down in this case

Projections Broken Promises.

from the chicago Her aid.
IL was Macbeths despairing cry that
the weird sisters kept the word OF
promise to the ear. but broke it to the
hope The weird sisters of protection
have not done rs much. They have not
kept the word of promise to the ear.
Last fall the workingmen of the land
were told that their wages depended on
the tariff. and that if the Mills bill be.
came the law of the land their wages
would be at once cut down. The farm
ers were told that unless they voted for
Harrison and the principle of protection
they would have no market in which to
sell their grain. These voters were
promised good wages and good markets
IL they would only elect Harrison, but
that il they reelected Cleveland they
might look for nothing but pauperism
Under the stimulus of these threats and
these promises they elected Harrison. 1t
was their votes that did 1.-THE votes of
the farmers and workingmen of the land.
In the retrospect of three months of
Harrison what do we see? The law is
unchanged and remains as it has been for
years-the highest war tariff and most
universal system of protection that ever
afflicted any tax-rldden country. The
law, which the republican orators de-
clared was the only salvation of the
country, stands on the statute book as IL
did then. Under its benificent influence
the surplus monthly accumulates in the
public treasury, and not all the arts of a
not too scrupulous secretary can get it
out among the people again.
Does that benefit the farmer, who was
promised such good home markets? Not
In quarter of century has wheat sold
Tor so low price at this season of the
year as 1t sells for today, and the outlook
Is that IL will sell much lower before snow
flies. ''Oh. but" says the protectionist.
this is due to natural causes. There is
promises of great crop" This is true,
but 1t is no truer now than it is any wear
II the price of wheat depends on natural
causes why do protectionists try to hood
wink the farmer with ascribing il, at
election time, to the tariff? This is to
the farmer. Has the promise been any
better kept with the workingman2 There
has not been week since the 4th of
March when there have not been serious
reductions in the wages of almost every
class of workers, ranging from 10 to 30
per cent. This has been particularly
noticeable among iron and coal miners,
and among wooden, cotton and silk
workers The masters and capitalists
have precisely the same protection" they
have had for four years, and yet they re-
duee the wages of their workmen right
along. Has this happened from natural
causes, too? Then do not ascribe good
wages to protection and low wages to
free trade. The wages of workingmen
are being reduced every day. What
