BALD HEADED PENSIONERS,

The Democratic papers and pension
haters having abandoned the Norfolk
Virginia fraud, are now duly adver-
Using the bald headed pensioner. We
give the name and facts in the case as
they appear in the National Tribune:
The truth has at last been developed
about that bald headed pension, which
has been giving the soldier haters so
much aid and comfort.
The pension was for "a a month, and
granted to Allen G. Peck, a most ex-
cellent soldier, who served in the
Rhode Island Artillery, and who has
been for years a respected resident of
Providence, r. l. His acquaintance
can not speak too highly of him either
as a citizen or a soldier.
A few years ago he was attacked by
a severe case of typhoid fever, from
which he barely escaped with his life.
Asis well known, typhoid fever always
leaves a train of facilitating sequele,
more or less malignant in character.
During comrade Peck's illness he lost
every particle of hair on his body, and
had no more upon him when he re-
covered than there is upon q new born
babe. In his affidavit he set forth this
fact as showing the severity of the
illness from which he had suffered.
The Board of Examining Surgeons
found the typhoid fever had left the
comrade in a very debilitated state,
and particularly that it had produced
very large varicose veins, which in
themselves would have been sufficient
reason for a pension. 1t was at first
suggested to allow the pension for the
varicOse veins, but it was found that
Peck's affidavit made no reference to
these, and 80, having in view the I'M
usual severity of the attack of fever, as
indicated by the entire loss of hair, the
pension was allowed ''loss of hair, re.
suit of typhoid fever"
The case will not be allowed to rest
as it is. Acting under instructions
from COMMANDMENT Chief Weissert,
immediate steps will be taken to apply
for an increase of Comrade Peck's pen
sion, so that the merits of the case can
be brought up in a regular way and
the public informed as to all the facts.

SILL YER DOLLAR.

1t is amusing TO read Democratic pa
pers that a year ago were pandering to
free silverites. AS the price of silver
is quoted daily at so much an ounce,
these papers couple with it the value OF
the silver dollar. One day they have il
worth SO cents, another so to 90 cents,
in face Of the fact that silver dol
lars will buy as much meat aud bread,
sugar, coffee or other ~necessaries of

so long as it has the same purchasing

Col. Grishams Death from cholera in
1878, and finally located in Madison
County, North Carolina, where he
stands at the head of the list as a law
yer and a leading Republican of that
State. He has been honored as the
Republican nominee for Lieutenant
Governor of North Carolina, and for
Congress, having come within $50
votes of being elected to the later po-
sition. He has been a member of the
Legislature of that State and was the
caucus nominee of his party for U. S
Senator.
He was one of Jonesbor's poor, but
industrious boys, who has honored
himself and this town by the progress
he has made in climbing the ladder of
fame and usefulness. 1t is with pleas.
ure we commend his example to other

BOARD OF REVIEW.
Rapidly Investigating Pensioners I'm.
der the Law Of 1890.

Washington, July 10.-The pension
bureau has notified a great many pen
sloners throughout the country who
are drawing pensions under the act of
June 81, 1890, known as the depnd-
ent pension act, that the payment of
their pensions will be suspended for
sixty lays, during which time they are
required to show cause why they should
continue to draw pensions. The testi-
mony necessary to prevent their being
dropped from the rolls is the certificate
of a reputable physician, attested by
two witnesses to the effect that the
pensloner is precluded from active
labor owing to injuries or disability
not the result of his own vicious
habits.
In case no attention is paid to the
departments notification within sixty
days the pensioners will be dropped
from the rolls.
On the other hand, should the neces-
sary certificate, properly drawn up and
signed, be forwarded to the pension bu-
reau, the pensioner will be requested to
appear before the local board of med
ical examiners for examination as to
his condition.
This action is pursuant to the recent
ruling of Secretary Smith, to the effect
that a pensioner under the act of June
9th, 1890, drawing a pension for total
disability must be shown to be physic-
ally incapable of manual labor.
The board of review appointed to
carry into effect that decision 10 now
going over all of the cases of June 81,
1890, probably 100, 600 in number, select.
ing those cases which show in the
record that the pensioners may not be
incapacitated for manual labor. In
cases thus selected pensioners are mott
fled as before stated to prove their total
disability to the department or cease to
draw pensions. Under Secretary
Smiths ruling the department holds
that a man who can work should not
draw a pension for total disability. 1t
is estimated at the pension office,
although the work has but recently be-
gun, that something over 1000 suspen-
sions have already been made.
