Rulings by Assistant Secretary Rcy-
noIds and Commissioners Lochren.

mosOs anu Tom missioner LOcurcus
WASHINGTON. March "A number of
new rulings in pension cases are made by
Assistant Secretary OF the Interior REYNOLDS
in recent opinions. In dsposing of a case
OF alleged disloyalty CT Tennesseean. the
Assistant Secretary holds that involuntary
service by a conscrlpt does not bring n
Claimant for pension within the provisions
Of Section 4715 of the Revised Statutes. An
honorable discharge from all service con-
tracted to be performed during The war of
the rebellion is held be prerequisite to
pension under the second section OF the act
OF June q. 1890. and the appellants deser-
tion from the United States service in 1855
and failure to receive an honorable Discharge
bars his right to pension under that act.
This. though rejecting the clam because of
desertion. reverses the action of the Pension
bureau, which dropped the claimants from
the rolls ION the ground OF cisloyalty, he
having previously served in the Confederate
army"
The naval home in Philadelphia is de-
clared by the department 10 he u naval
hospital within the meaning of Section 40ls

to its inmates accordingly must be paid to

there is just cause for complaint by the

A LESSON IN RAILROAD MANAGE
MEyT

No business event of recent years has
caused more surprise outside of an inner
circle than the passing of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad into receivership. The
first railroad built in America, it was
for many years the best managed and
the most successful. 1t reached the
height Of it's prosperity under the presi-
dency of John w. Garrett who served
from 1858 to 1884, and its troubles began
with his death. He represented the old
school of business men and railroad men,
uniting energy with conservatism, enter
prise with caution. and with a holy hor-
ror of incurring dangerous liabilities or
getting beyond his depth. The era Of
watering stocks and of railroad expan-
sion and absorption had not begun in
his time. or If it had he kept out of it.
There has been no more conservative or
successful president in this country than
John W. Garrett. as the stockholders OF
the Baltimore & Ohio. who regularly re-
ceived 10 per cent. dividends under his
management, could testify. His death
and the succession OF his son. Robert
Garrett. to the presidency marked the
beginning of a new era. The son was
not devoid of business talent. but he
lacked the grasp, the executive ability
and the conservatism of the elder Gar
rett. Like many another son of sue
cessful father. he was incapable of prop
erly managing holding together the
great property his father had created.
he ~
conservative. he engaged in some very
costly enterprises. and his financiering
was far too bold to be safe. 1t has been
said that shortly after he became presi-
dent OF the Baltimore & Ohio he opened

If Governor Matthews is not intellect

crate thought. has. 1 believe. clearly and
wisely, In full recognition of the existing
conditions. pointed the way out of the
difficulty by indicating that legal elec-
tion may be held under the act of 1885,"
In the closing part of the sentence re-
ferred to the court pointed another way
out Of the difficulty by saying: Unless
the Governor should see tit TO call a spe-
cial session OF the Legislature TO pass
a new aDporttonment law" The Gov
ernor's mental vision is so adjusted that
he could see the first part of the SEN
tence without seeing the last.

Morton Will Not Pack seeds.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary Nor
ton said to-day that in no event will the
government be put to the expense of hiring
unskilled labor to pack seeds when the
latter can be bought already put up by
skilled labor at a much less price, A num-
ber Of Senators and members of Congress
have been making requests for positions in
the seed division Secretary Morton saws:
THE seed room has not been re-established
up to date for the reason that no seeds
have been purchased for distribution dur
ing the current fiscal year. The law may
be amended so as to compel the promis-
cuous and gratutious distribution of seed
by the government during the next fiscal
year. If 1T is so amended, proposals to
furnish seed already put up in packets and
labeled will be advertised for"

Governor Matthews's bucolc instincts got
the better OF him when he decided to leave
the pubic ground near the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum TO be used by that institution as
a cow pasture instead OF permitting IL
to be improved for park purposes. A park
is badly needed in that end OF the city and
the fifteen acres of State ground could be
made an attractive spot with comparatively
little expense. When 1t was first proposed
to give the city the use of the square north

The Pere Marquette Statue.

WASHINGTON. March 3-Although much
pressure is being brought to bear on men,
bers of Congress to induce them to have
the Wisconsin statue of Pere Marquette
taken from Statuary Hall it is unlikely that
any action Of the sort will be taken. Mr..
Linton. of Michigan, the member who in
troduced resolutions for the removal Of the
statue. is not disposed to push his project
at present He said to-day that he believed
the members of the Legislature of Wis
consin would conclude that the statue was
out of place and at it's next session pass
an act to withdraw it and possibly substi-
tute another statue in its place. He also
said he was certain that the agitation of
the matter had the effect of preventing
the fulfillment Of the plans for ceremonies
and speech making. A petition was received
to-day by the Senators and members from
Maine, signed by the State officers OF the
A. p. A., protesting in warm terms against
the acceptance of the statue and asking
them to make an effort to have it removed.
Similar protests are being received by other
members.
