JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
An Important and Interesting Case to Come
Before the District Supreme Court.
See our offers in another column.

An important and Interesting Case to Come
Before the District Supreme Court.
An application was made last week to Judge
Bradley. of the District of Columbia Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the
Commissioner of Pensions TO continue on the
pension rolls the name of Judge Charles ID.
Long, of Michigan. 1t will be remembered
that Judge Longs pension was suspended some
time ago and created considerable comment.
This action is of course of very great interest
to pensioners all over the country. 1t is the
first case brought against this administration
of the Pension Bureau by an interested indl-
vidual. and it is also q test case.
Sent % last he was informed By the Pension
Agent at Detroit that payments on his claim
had been suspended pending special medical
examination to determine his present degree of
disability" He denies that he ever received
notice of this suspension other than as stated,
although he was once ordered to report to the
Examining Board at Detroit.
Judge Long then states that he believes this
order was not made by the Secretary of the In
terror. who is empowered by section 1889 Re-
yised Statutes United States to strike from the
pension rolls names put thereon by fraudulent
demonstrations. But even this cannot be done,
he maintains in his petition, without due notice
to the pensioner, who shall have full opPor-
tunity to be heard.
Judge Long further objects that such pro-
ceeding is in violation of the fifth amendment
to the Constitution, which provides that no
citizen shall be deprived of life. liberty. or
property without due process of law" His
pension. he claims is valuable property, of
which he has been deprived without such pro-
cess.
He understands that Commissioner Lochren
claims such course to have been customary
with his predecessors, but if such action was
taken SAYS the Judge it was illegal. uncon-
stitutional, and ycid,' both in view OF the Con-
stitution ard section 81. United States Statutes
at-large, which says:
But in no case shall pension be Withdrawn
or reduced, except upon notice to the pensi0ner
and hearing upon sworn testimony.
He furthermore states his belief that the
Commissioners action is warranted by no act
of Congress or rules of the Interior Depart
ment.
His attorneys are Thomas s. Hopkins and
Fred A. Baker.
Justice Bradley, after hearing the petition,
granted 8 rule, calling upon Commissioners
Lochren to appear and show cause why the
writ of msndamus should not be issued. The
rule ia returnable OH Oct. 10 at 10 q. N.

AN OPEN LETTER.
10 HOS. Wa. LoCHREN,
Commissioner of Pensions.

To HoE. WM. LocHRES,
Commissioner Of Pensions
CoNEADE: Weappeal to you, and through
you to tic Congress and the people of the
United States, for the immediate settlement
OF all the cases now pending in the Pension
Bureau as an act of the purest and simplest
humanity.
Were they at all aware of it, no humane
people would countenance for a single day
the continuance Of the terrible hardships
and cruelties which flow from the sickening
delays in the adjudication of pension claims.
The American people have not realized,
but they are now beginning to awaken to a
full realization, that there are hundreds OF
! thousands OF men and women III this conn
| try. and men aud women to whom the
| Nation made the most solemn pledges OF
gratitude, who are suffering the greatest
mental and physical miseries because of the
crucifying delay in the fulfllment of those
pledges.
If the sum of this misery could be ex-
pressed 10 any way, it would be found to
exceed thousandfold the wrongs and griey-
/ ances which in former times have impelled
I peoples to take MP arms aud dare war, rather
than submit to longer endurance.
Your report, Conrade Lochren, showed
that there were pending in your Burear
on the 18th of last July I'll, $50 cases
The report OF work done for the week
ending Sept. 30, showed an allowance dur
ing that week of $50 cases. This was
much larger number than for any preceding
week for long time. At The rate of / 1886
per week it will take tie Pension Bnreau
3S5 weeks, or seven years and SIX months, II
