a Noted Pension Case.

n Noted Pension Case.
Judge Bradley, of the District of Columbia
supreme court, granted the mandamus asked
for BY Judge Charles d. Long. OF Michigan.
to compel Com missioner Uochren, of the
pension bureau, to restore the former rating
of $52 q month to plaintiff.
Three questions we're involved in tbs case,
whether Comm issioner Tanner was ju-tified
in issuing the certificate givipg Judge Long
sd per month rating, whether the comm@-
sioner of pensions il empowered to review
upon the same state of facts for alleged error
in judgment to change the status of the rate
to the pension rolls and to revoke his PEN
sion certificates, and whether the court has
the power by mandamus to direct the com.
mission to veto his order of revocation.
The disabilities of Judge Long, said tho
court in reviewing the case, are 80 perma-
nent and total as to require the regular per-
sonal aid and attendance of another person,
the class of cases for which congress fixed q
rating Of $72 q month. No duty was i'm
posed and no authority conferred upon tho
commissioner, said the court, to ORDER q
special in this case, and only cases wherein
the comm issioners coud d increase or reduce
the pension according to right ard justice
are those in which biennial examinations
are required.
Discussing the functions of the com.
missioner OF pensions. Judge Bradley Iai1
down the proposition that the commissioner
is neither the government nor congress and
cannot give nor withhold pensions at his
pleasure. The action of Commissioner
Lochren in revoking Judge Longs certif-
Gates, it was held, wa, illegal and his Gear
duty, therefore, the court said, is to revoke
that order, restore the former rating from
the present rate of $50 per month and en-.
force continuance of such larger payments:
SUNNI no IN In, case Judge Bradley held
that the court had the power by mandamus
TO compel the performance of that duty
and accordingly granted the mandamua
asked.

by President Cleveland: 1T is a state pa
per of very high quality. To US it IS amaz,
ing that language of such plainness should
be necessary. To offer to pay national obls.
cations II, silver is to cheat the creditor OF
more than half his due. No sell. respecting,
honorable people could contemplate the per.
petration of such fraud with anything but
horror and disgust" =,
The Daily News believes that President
Cleveland's s protest will be ignored and that
more bonds will be issued en- the ruinous
conditions AZ before.
The Chronicle fears that the presidents Q
epirited appeal will fall on deaf ears, espe.
ciaily if the belief prevails in congress that
the cat is about to jump on the silver side OF
the fence.
The Times says: "The message is . very
veiohty, indeed, q rather alarming docu-
ment. The life of the present congress J..
too brief for the hope of the adoption OF
President Cleveland's su2gesttons. even II q
majority should favor them. 1t Is lmproba-
b!e that the next congress- will adopt MI
Cleyelaud's lead, and IN any case. 1t may be
doubted whether an attempt begun ir March
to cope with the decline of gold would be
too late to avert the serious consequences
anticipated, hence Mr.. Cleve!and's plan IS
