by sentiment which is widespread in the

The Rogersville Review certifes
the following to be a true copy of a
letter from a regular practicing

Fall Branch is in Washington

writer of this epistle is a regular
practicing physician in this or any
other county:

Senator Bate of course has some
one in this district to advise him.
We believe the appointment Of two
gentlemen on the Pension Board at
johnson City, and the ignoring of
the claims of the three excellent gen.
tlemen of Jonesboro, indicates that
the man or men controlling the Sen
ator in the distribution of "pie,"
lives at hal place. This is no dis
credit to Johnson City, but it ignores
the leading Democrats at Jonesboro,
whose party service and standing en-
titles them to more consideration
than seems to have been accorded in
the Pension Board matter.
According to the programme, the
new Pension Board will consist of
DR.. A. S. N. Dobson, of Brownsboro,
and Drs. E. E. Miller and S. II. Toy,

PENSIONERS, TAKE NOTICE.

The present administration went
into power with roosters Growing
over a victory gained for tariff re-
form" A united Democratic press,
from Maine to California, proclaimed
for weeks that the issue was fought
and won on the tariff question. The
cabinet seats are hardly warm before
tariff reform disappears from the
arena of public discussion, and a
new issue is sprung upon the coun-
try, called Pension Reform.
The Democrrtic party is incapable
Of forming any governmental policy,
and hence are always clamoring for
an opportunity to reform something.
The Fugitive Slave Law was not
more fatal to Democracy than will
be their war on pensioners, disguised
under the name of Pension Reform.
The Washington Post givest the man
ner in which the work is to be done,
when it says
Secretary Hoke Smith intends to as
certain the number of pensions ini-
properly allowed under Order No. 1854,
which Commissioner Raum issued and
which he revoked. A board of revis-
ion, consisting of twenty three specially
selected men, has been organized to
draw from the admitted files as rapidly
as may be practicable, all cases allow
cd under Section 2 Of the act of June
81, 1890, aggregating over 300, 900, and
to determine whether the allowances
are in accordance with law. The board
will act under the immediate supervis-
ion and direction of Commissioner
Lochren, who will give proper instruc-
tons as needed"
