BOARD OF APPEALS
It's Personnel Will Soon Be
Changed.

The Board of Pension Appeals is about to
undergo reorganization. In the opinion of
many it is time that this action was taken by
tho Administration. Mr.. Cleveland did not
hesitate to change the membership of the
Board at early date after he began his
second Administration, and the result was
soon apparent in the decisions issued dis
criminative against the veteran to the last
degree. Whatever disposition some of tn o
members had to be just was nulltied by the
policy adopted by the then Administration.
Since Nr. Mckinley took his office there has
been frequent complaint made because tue
Board was not changed, and while the decis-
ions have been marked by a noticeable increase
of liberaity aud business because Hon. Web
ster Davis was Assistant Secretary, yet it has
been believed that change would be materi
ally for the better outside of political con-
siderations.
1t is now announced that the ajority. prob
ABLY six or seven, of the Board reOrganized
will be Republican, probably all Of them vet
Grams. 1t is not the purpose of the Admins
| tration to make partisan Board so few
Democrats will be retained, the whole Board
| consisting of nine Examiners. 1t Is believed
| that when the names are announced IL will be
| fonnd that the retained Democrats are also
| veterans.
| Those who are displaced will be sent to other
| work. The head OF the Board will be Col Ii.
! l.. Bruce, OF Illinois, VINO has been he Board
| for many years, and is the only Republican
| there at present The Civil Services law pre-
| vents the dismissal OF any of the Board.
| The province OF the Board is the cOnsdera-
| ton of all appeals from the action of the Com
| missioner of Pensions in claims for pension
| and bounty The decisions must always be
| approved by the Assistant Secretary before
| they can be issued.
The work now done by the Board was
! formerly part of the miscellaneous work OF the
Office but Board of three was established in
| 1884, increased to nine in 1856, and an Assist
ant Secretary added, who should have super
| vision over the Board.
A prominent attorney said of the reorganza-
ton: : 1t should result in much benefit TO the
soldier element. The Board, as at present COLI
| stituted, is the same which has written SO many
| ad verse decisions that it would be difficult il
| indeed not impossible, for it to fairly consider
| the same cases that again being presented
for reconsideration. Some of the decisions
| were very severe, and it would be mOckery
| for those men to turn about and write opposite
opinions.
1T is impossible for an Assistant Secretary ia
| personally know the facts in every case, and
case appears good or bad according to the
| manner OF its presentsti of the facts. An ex-
| perienced examiner can write up case in the
way he chooses.
But for a liberal Assistant Secretary to sur.
| round himself with men who are in sympathy
| with the Administration he represents, and in.
Glned to be fair to the veteran, naturally
good result should bs soon apparent"

a number of ships yet unprovided. Pro-

the hands of the President and the Secretary
of the Treasury. The Attorney General
thinks the question one shat can best be de-
cided by the courts, and therefore he is un-
willing to interfere. Secretary Gage has
asked the Solicitor Of the Treasury for an
opinion, but the question will likely go to
court Secretary Gage had been persuaded
that the Civil Service law did not apply to
Deputy Collectors of Internal Revenue, but
that such officials were the agents of the
Collectors, appointed directly by them and
subject to removal at the pleasure of the
Collectors. The Civil Service Commissioners
took the opposite view of the question.
SATURDAY Nov. 13.-In his annual report
Secretary Gary makes an extended argument
in favor of postal savings bank system. As
to the experimental extension of free delivery
to the rural districts he says interesting re-
suits have been obtained. This service COM
menced in October. 1896, has been carried On
for year over selected routes in % States
under such varying conditions as to give the
experiment fair test. Congress placed
$4,000 at the disposal of the Department for
this purpose in the fiscal year 1869, and
provided $4,000 for a continuation of the
experiment during the present fiscal year.
1t would be difficult, he says. to point to any
like expenditure of public money which has
been more generously appreciated by the
people or which has conferred greater bene-
fits in proportion To the amount expended.
