Change in Pension Laws.

THE house committee on invalid pensions
has ordered favorable report on the bill OF
Mr.. Martin OF Indiana which supplements
the pension act of 1890. This act provides
that widows shall receive pension If the
husband served ninety days in the army or
navy and received an honorable discharge.
Many cases have arisen under these laws
where the soldier died in the service. I'm
der these laws the widow is not pension
able. The soldier was technically not in
the line at the time of his death, and yet
his death was not caused by negligence on
his part. In these cases, OF course, no hon
orable discharge was given. and application
for pension had to be refused on account Of
this technicality. Mr.. Martins bill cor
reefs this error, and provides that where it
is shown that the soldier or sailor, on ac-
count of whose service the pension is
asked, dies or has died without having
received an honorable discharge from the
service, and without having by his own
misconduct forfeited his right to receive an
honorable discharge, the want of an honor
able discharge shall not bar the applicant
from receiving the benefit Of the law upon
complying with its other requirements.
