PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.
superintendent Freeman sends Away The
worlds Fair Exhibits.
The exhibits which the public schools Of
this town will make at the Worlds Fair are
complete and Superintendent Freeman has
packed them in boxes and forwarded them
to the State Commissioners at Harrisburg
who will have them forwarded to the
National Committee at an early date.
If the newspapers of the country devote
any space to the educational display at the
fair the shenandoah exhibit will occupy
some of it, for it is certainly splendid one
Some of the papers are really grand in exc
eution and those who have examined them
feel certain that they will be among the
exhibits to receive the honor of special
mention.
The exhibits number between $500 and
600 and have been completed at the patient
expense of much time and labor on the part
of teachers and pupils Superintendent
| Freeman has also expended much care and
time in properly classifying and packing
them, so that the Commissioners will have
little trouble to make proper display. They
| include map drawing from the Third and
Fourth grade primary and First and Second
grade grammar schools; arithmetic from all
grades except the High School language
from all the primary schools except the First
grade; and all the other schools have two
subjects each, language and arithmetic, The
papers Of the High School cover natural
philosophy, which embraces many excellent
pen and ink drawings suitable to the subject
Latin, trigonOmetry, algebra, mental philoso-
| ply and chemistry.

ing the damage done by the recent fire in
the High school building. II is understood
that the conference between the two gentle
men was of very harmonious character and
the report they will submit to the Schoo
Board is likely to be Of such a character that
all concerned will be satisfied.
The School Board win hold its regular
monthly meeting on Wednesday evening
As the usual meeting place is unfit for oo

arranged to make use Of room 6 in the Wes

1873 AND 1893.
Addres

Prophets of evil, who predict that the
present stringency will be as long and severe
as that of 1873, forget the initial differ
ences between the two periods Then we
had just concluded long and destructive
civil war which had destroyed a large pro-
portion of the wealth of the country. Sew
eral million producers had been Withdrawn
from matchmaking and engaged In active
destruction. Then every value in the coun-
try had been unsettled and demoraiized by
being measured in a deprecated currency.
The price of everything had to be forced
back TO a specie basis, and the squeeze was
frightful. Then we went into enormous
railroad building by which hundreds of
millions of dollars were locked up in enter
prises which paid nothing for years, and
then generally only small return on a por-
ton of the capital invested in them Lastly,
came the great fires in Chicago and Boston,
bywhieh hundreds OF millions of wealth were
totally destroyed. In face of all these facts
it is won lerful that we recovered as soon as
we did. No other country in the world
could have done so.
Now we have none Of these things to con-
tend with. The country has been very pros
porous up to the time the panic set in. lis
prosperity was on solid basis, the money
was good, and values apparently substantial.
We have had no era of reckless railroad
building in advance of the needs of the
country. There has been no great destruc-
ton Of property anywhere. Crops have been
abundant, and there will be an enormous
demand from abroad for our products
In face Of all these facts there can be no
long-eoniinued depression. If the Con-
gressionai policy with regard to the tariff
were only definitely settled, business would
spring mp at cnce, and the Fall would see
the panic fairly over.

being no later certificate of examination than
that upon which his claim was adjudicated
and upon which he was placed on the roll
by order of the Secretary of the Interior, it
follows that there are but two actions that
the Commissioner can properly take, viz ::
]. Order the claimant for special examine
ton, which is not contemplated or being
done in any case that we are aware of. 2.
Order the pensioner for medical examina-
tion. Ii the certificate of such examination
shows a rating for the combined disabilities
of less than So, the Commissioner can then
and only then suspend, and can finally drop
the claimant from the roll if he cannot
demonstrate that he is entitled to rating
of at least So for a degree of disability which
would be rated at that amount under the
old law; but in the meantime there is no
authority of law for suspending the pen
sioner. As well might he attempt to col
lect from pensioners SO arbitrarily being
suSpeHueu the amounts OF pension
heretofore paid them. If these pensioners
are not now legally entitled TO pension, their
degree of Stability being the same now as
when their claims were allowed, then they
were not legally entitled to receive the pen
sion heretofore paid them under the act of
June q, 1890; but the Honorable Secretary
of the In erior has not yet limited that he
will seek to recover any of these payments.
No court, even in his own State of Georgia,
would entertain an action brought to recover
such payments, and the pensioners will not
even be called upon to refund. 1t is
to be regretted that there is nc law under
which the illegality of the present practice
can be judieially determined and further
hardship and disaster to the veterans averted
That Commissioner Lochren is in full
sympathy with his comrades and desires to
do them exact justice is the general belief
and ours. His gallant soldiership and his
career ON the bench warrant this belief The
rulings to which we have taken exception
are doubtless the result of misconceptiOn,
due to hasty and imperfect consideration of
the law, and will doubtless be amended
after more thorough study of the matter.
We shall wait with hopefulness his more
mature Judgment.

Gen. Bussey, in conjunction with Secre-
tary Noble and Commissioner Raum, gave
the Disability Act liberal Interpretation,
strictly in accord with the spirit and intent
of the Congress which passed the law. He
consistently adhered to that Interpretation
throughout his whole official career, as can
be seen by reference to the four volumes of

more consistently liberal to his old comrades

A WORD AS TO GEN. CYRUS BUssEY.


The assertion that the Pension Bureau is
acting in strict accordance with a decision
made by Gen. Cyrus Bussey, late Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, some weeks before
he left the Department, is incorrect and at
variance with well-known facts. Gen. Bus
sey never abrogated nor curtailed Gen.
Raum's Order No. 1874, which was formu-
lated and issued upon consultation with
] him, and had his entire sanction.
| Contrary to what the Commissioner says
| in his letter to us last week, Gen. Bussey's
decision in the Henry H. Weike case did not
put different Interpretation to the act
of June 81, 1890, to that contained in Order
No. 1874 which reads:
That all claims under the act of June q, 1890,
showing mental or physical disability or disabili-
ties of permanent character. not the result of
their own vicious habits md which incspacitatcs
them for The performance Of mammal labor. rendering
thers unable to a support ia such degree as
ouid be rated under former ta0s at above Sc and
less than sl2, shall be rated the as like dis
abilities of service origin and that all show
ing pensionable disability which. If of service
origin, would be rated at or above SI2 per month,
| shall be rated at sl2 per month.
The essence of Gen. Bussey's decision was,
that if a man was disabled to degree which
would entitle him to a pension of So under
the old law, he was entitled to Sc under the
act of June 81, 1890. The decision reads {:
an determining whether an applicant is
entitled to rate under said act for the
character of disability aforementioned, the
only question is: Is he, from the cause OF
causes involved.-be they one or many
disabled for the performance of manual
labor 10 the extent represented by the frac-
tioual rate of 6-18 THAT is, the 6-18 stated
in the first paragraph of Order 164. off so,
he is entitled to the minimum rate Of Sc,
and so on until the maximum of S12 is
reached. In the claim of Weike, now under
consideration, while it is conceded that dis
ability from disease of urinary organs exists,
which alone would be ratable under the
old law, if of service origin, it is not believed
that this disability, combined with rheuma-
tism, disables him for manual labor to an
extent which entities him to higher rat
ing than $12 per month. Rheumatism is
his chief disability. There is no albumen
OF sugar in the urine, and, in fact, but little,
if any, objective symptoms of disease, other
than hypertrophy of the prostate gland.
He is evidently able to perform considerable
manual labor. The rejection of the claim
for increase by the Bureau of Pensions is
affirmed" The object of this was to pre-
vent number of trihing disabilities being
added together to form an aggregate which
would entitIe the claimant to minimum
pension.
1t did not set up any new standard it
did not abrdge the scope of Order No. 164
it did not drop any man from the rolls, and
consequently it formed no basis or prece-

IL begins TO look quite encouraging in
Chicago The stringency manifested itself
there in lis severest form, the attack was
sudden and severe, and naturally the first
signs of reaction should be looked for
there. Il seems that it has come The
greater part Of the recent large receipts OF
gold from Europe went TO Chicago to pay
for wheat and other agricultural products.
European dealers are tempted by the low
prices OF these products and the certainty
that taese must soon advance sharply. The
inflow of such an amount of money has
eased the situation very much and tended
to restore confidence. This feeling will
rapidly diffuse itself throughout the
country.

The only change in the two laws is in

manual labor in such degree as TO render

addition to the word disabled" but this is
distinction and not difference These
additional words are seized upon by the
Secretary as pretext TO place applicants
for pension under the new law upon differ
ent footing from those under the old law as
regards the eatent Of their disability, COM
peiiing them to show much greater degree
of disability than would entitle them
under the old law to pensions from
Sc to $12. The old law says that certain

only one answer to the question, and
that is that they must be disabled for the
performance Of manual labor. 1t is not
necessary that those words should appear
in the old law, because it has no other
meaning and cannot be construed otherwise.
