AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Affecting n Large Number of Peusiov
Claims of HeIpIess H.sr.

Judge John NJ. Reynolds, assistan, s.crs-
tary or the Department of the Interior has
announced decision of great Importance
TO meritorious class Of claimants for pen-
sion.
The decision will admit TO the roll. the
names OF large number of insane idiotic
or permanently helpless minor children az
deceased soldiers, whose pensions had ceas-
ed by their attaining the age Of sixteen
years prior to the passage of the act of
June %, 1890.
The claim under which this decision was
rendered was that OF Harrison f. Loeb of
Bucks county, Pa, whose father was killed
In action at the battle Of Gettysburg while
serving in company II, one hundred ana
hfty-hrst Pennsylvania infantry. The minor
became sixteen years of age June Q. ls7p
On December $, 1891. his claim. on account
OF permanent helplessness, was filed under
the provisions of the act of June 81 ls9o
ana rejected April IL, 1892, upon the ground
.hat ne was over sixteen years OF are at
the GATE OF filing the claim
Inc act under which be applied nroviSss
mat in case a minor child is insane fdi.
QUO or otherwise permanently helpless pen.
Ion shaIl continue during the life Of said
e hnae, or during the period Of such dis
apIuty, ana this proviso shall apply TO all
pensions heretofore granted or hereafter
statute ny Ao""
The issue presented was whether NV tbs
terms OF said act, the pension OF an fnsana
iuiotlc or permanently helpless minor which
nad ceased by reason Of the minor attaining
tne age or sixteen years before the dats al
the passage OF said act was renewable
III was held by a former assistant secre-
tary that such pensions were not renewable
by the terms Of said act, and all such "a ses
were rejected.
Secretary Reynolds in reversing thu sor-
mer rulings of the department and admit
ing these claims held that in this and IKE
cases where, Under the general law the
pension OF minor children who were fnsane
ld.otic, or permanently helpless has termi-
mated by reason Of attaining their pen.
slonable majority prior to passage Of act
OF June "a, 1880, the pension NAV be re-
Lewed from the date Of filing applics ton
therefor uncer said act upon proof of con-
urued and uninterrupted insanity, idiocy
or helplessness."
In commenting upon the former ruling
the Secretary says:
1t would seem that little further than
a careful reading Of the act itself would be
surnclent TO demonstrate the fact that this
law mas been misconstrued to the grieyous
harm or class Of the nations dependents
VINO should receive, as the law intended
Trey should, the most benevolent consider
auon. NO other Interpretation Of the law
Is consistent with Justice, reason. and the
express terms Of the statute The whole
scope or the law was to provide for a state
OF dependence, and the former interpreta-
uon thereof seems to me to be wholly at
variance with the intention OF Congress-"
