AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Some Of the radical work of ex-
Commissioner RAUM has been eff
fectively undone by an important
decision just rendered by Secretary
SMITH, Of the Interior Department.
A telling blow has been struck for
the cause Of pension reform, as it is
believed by those high in authority
in the Pension Bureau that the new
ruling will reduce the payments Of
pensions under the act Of June 27,
1890, about $20,000,000. The de-
cision Of Secretary SMITH involves
the repeal Of an order issued by
General RAUM and approved by
Assistant Secretary BUssEY and a
return to the language Of the stat
ute requiring the disability, not Of
service origin, Of an applicant for q
pension to be such as to prevent Che
applicant from earning support
by manual labor. Secretary SMITH
has been considering the principles
involved in the decision for several
weeks, and he deemed it so import
ant that when it was called to his
attention by the pension board of
appeals he submitted the question
involved to Attorney-General Oh
NEY and Judge LoCHREN, Commits
sioner Of Pensions, both Of whom
concurred in the correctness of the
decision, which is acknowledged to
be an honest construction of the
law. Secretary SMITH says that il
is hardly necessary to present argu-
ment, or to support by authority,
the proposition that neither the
Secretary nor the Commissioner
can, by order or practice, supersede
an act of Congress, and he directs
that hereafter the practice of the
Office conform to the law, which
means that trivial ailments not in.
capacitating applicants for manual
labor will count for nothing in the
future.

A weed that grows in Mrs. Elizabeth
Matlock's yard catches all the young

The weed has a peculiar dark-looking

COOP roads are badly needed in
West Tennessee, and we must have
them, but mud up to the axles is
preferable to a bonded debt, as has
been suggested by some, which al
ways operates to increase the power
Of the usurper and the poverty Of
the poor. When our people once
become thoroughly convinced of the
fact that bad roads are the one great
drawback to the progress and de.
velopment Of this portion of oul
State, they will unite in the demand
for good roads. Then we will have
them, and the work will be done by
taxation, the only satisfactory way
in our opinion.

The recent pension ruling by the
Secretary Of the Interior is said to
be generally commended by infu-
entail and prominent Grand Army
men at Washington. Certainly,
having succeeded in adding several
hundred thousand names to the
pension rolls during HABRIsoNs
administration to be supported by
the people who are willing to work
for a living, the agents of the pre-
torian system will acquiesce to any
ruling Of the Secretary SO long as
they feel secure in receiving what
they are getting now. The ruling
Of Secretary SMITH will not undo
the frauds Of the past, bat it will
prevent wholesale frauds in the
future.
