An OutgroMth Of the Recent Pension
Ruling.

TmR REPUBLIC BUREAU:
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 80, 1885,
A work whi ch will be an outgrowth
Of the recent reform decision OF Secfe-
retary Smith and Commissioner Of
Pensions Lochren will be commenced
at once. It promises rare develop
ments. It's object will be the ascer-
tainment of how many pensions issued
under the dependent pension bill will
stand the test of the construction
which this administration has put up
OIL 1t. From time to time the Republic
has given examples of how the de-
pendent bill has been abused in order
that dishonest pensions might be is
sued under 1t. Some of the cases cited
have shown that what Corporal Tan
ner meant to be humorous when upon
his appointment rs Commissioner Of
Pensions he exclaimed ''GOd help the
surplus" became reality, business, to
Raum, Noble, Busy and Harrison.
It WAS not with them question rs
to mans title to q pension 1t was
question of how to give him pension
simply because he asked for 1t. The
investigation will prove this. Assist
ant Secretary Reynolds, who has d.
rect supervision Of pension matters un-
der the present administration. al
though he has not yet bad time to
make anything IKE an inquiry, has
found several cases which even the
most casual scrutiny stamps as fraud
ulent. One of them deserves descup-
lion.
Mr.. Cyrus w. Bussey. when he was
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior,
granted pension Of IS month 10 .
man whose disabilities consisted of
couple Of small corns, one on each Of
his big toes. 1t may be that this gen.
tleman had it in his head to become
letter carrier, and knowing that corns,
especially on the big toe, interfere
with loconlotion, came to the eonclus-
ion that he would be unable to per.
form the duties OF the letter carrier
even If he procured the job, and there
fore was entitled to pension. This
is by no means exaggerated sssump-
ton. Cases which have already come
to light give it all-around plausibillty.
Case. yet to come to light will be cum
ulative evidence. Yet the law was
superseded and the two big toes and
the two small corns In question were
given pension of g month.
1t should be borne in mind that In
theinquiry about to be instituted there
will be no hasty action and no pfsjudg-
ment. No mans pension will be stop
ped or reduced simply because on the
face Of the returns it may appear that
it ought not have been granted. There
will be re-exsmina,ion in every such
case. This viii apply to the gentle
man with the two corns. Those corns
may De trodden upon, out not UNJUST
ly. 1t Is said in behalf of the former
officials VINO had charge of pension
affairs that they had no idea when
they made the ruling under which So
many abuses have sprung up that II
would lead as far as 1t has. 1t is to be
hoped that this is true. 1t might ex.
plain in some measure how IL has hap
pened that pension bill which was to
add not more than Ss5, ,oOo, 900 to the
annual pension levy has really added

Women, it has been observed,

proper reward for the dangers we

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1893-12-21

Bessemer. This is a village Of about
5000 inhabitants, two-thirds of whom
have not had square meal for fort
night, although they profess to want
work more than they do food. The
men openly talk of forming the unem-
ployed in a body, and marching to the
large cities and getting food by force if
it is not otherwise given. This prom
ised trouble is averted by the shipment
of provisions now being received from
Michigan. Wakefield is a mushroom
town with rude frame shacks for the
men to live in, and the men and women
who sit in these frail structures to keep
company with empty flour barrels and
larders feel 20-degrees- below-zero air
whistling through the wide cracks.
Were it not for the snow which they
have piled around their homes their
suffering from the cold would be ter

Finally the old man took away a portion
OF provisions, still bewailing that his
children must see their father come
upon the town. The States of Michigan
and Wisconsin are responding to the
call for help. Grand Rapids sent two
car loads of flour, Lansing one, and the
smaller towns in both States are giving
benefit entertainments and otherwise
contributing for the destitute.
The Womens Relief Association is
doing noble work, and the task of
distribution is being done orderly and
Systematically. Every one aided has a
page in n big book on which is written
what is given him. and on the opposite
page Is written some account OF his
circumstances. SO reluctant are the
people TO receive help that a house to
house canvass has had to be made in
order to find out who were really
needy. One man who had nothing but
a small supply of flour in the house
insisted that they did not need pro-
visions and he had a large family. In
fact, all the families are large, few of
the married couples having less than
three children, and many having ten
or twelve. Some are very frugal, and
one man said he had $50 which would
"dO" him for the winter.

sumed, and Sc, d many queer sight,
but coyotes a-rustIin' for grub beats
them all. Them animals are as well

or by ballot, don recollect Off hand.
Just at daylight a reVeille calls the
pack together and they come yelpin'

sharpened by the crisp air and eager
for their regular diet of jerked rabbit
meat. The avant cOurierS sniff
around among the sagebrush and

band form into Il big circle, some
times spreadin' out on the plain over

down dead from exhaustion. Then

is disposed of another reveille is
