THE outlook for the stock market
this week is encouraging, owing to
the better showing made by the
English army in South Africa.
The bank statement on Saturday
showed startling increase in bank
loans. There seems to be little
reason why stocks should not take
a brace. The bank statement was
another curiosity to the street, in
showing an increase Of loans far
beyond the anticipation of the
shrcwdest forecast of sucn returns.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Sugges-
tiOns Made.

L. A D., Brooklyn, n. Y.-It is not ap-
parent why an honorable discharge has
been refused if once properly made out
and ready for issuance. If there is n
charge of desertion standing on the roll at
the War Department, it may possibly be
removed under the provisions of the act
of March 2, 1889. There will be no ex-
pense in the matter beyond the cost of exc
cution of papers and the attorneys fee, if
you employ an attorney.
Mrs. NJ. S., Norfolk, Va.-The pension
laws make no provision for brothers and
sisters of deceased soldiers and sailors. eX-
cept those who were under IL at the date
of death of the deceased. Application must
be filed before the claimants become III.
]. u, Togus, Melt is impossible to
say how high a rating pensioner now
drawing, say, $40 under the act of June
~. 1890, would receive under the general
pension law. Under the act of 1880,
though the rates are lower, all disabilities
are taken into consideration, whether due
20 the service or not, and disability Incl
dent to age is also considered; whereas
under the general law only disabilities
proven due to the service and line of duty
are taken into consideration. All evidence
filed in the Pension Bureau is preserved
there, and can be referred to in any fu-
ture claim filed by the pensioner or his
heirs. Unless you can furnish very strong
evidence in support of a general law
claim, medical evidence in the service or
at discharge in the absence of a record
of the disability at the War Department,
it would not be advisable for you to un-
dertake to prove up general law pension
claim on the war of rebellion at this late
date. 1t seems to be considered by the
Pension Bureau that n person entitled to
pension will apply for the same with rea-
sonable promptness, and that the longer
he waits the stronger the presumption
that his claim is not good.
o. B. J., Nashville, Ill.-Under the gen
eral law the date of marriage of the
widow to the soldier is immaterial.
ii. B., Indianola, Iowa.--You perceive
that the Pension Bureau exercises the
right to revise or wholly reject the reports
of Examining Surgeons. AS the Pension
Bureau appears to have rejected your
claim, Notwithstanding the ratings given
at various times by Examining Surgeons,
probably your appeal will meet with IA
yor.
Ex-Prisoner.-It was probably mis-
take of the Pension Bureau i'll sending a
blank for you to make application under
the act of 1890 as amended by the act of
May 8, 1900.

National Affairs as Viewed by the Corre-
spending Secretary

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Through
the columns of your paper / wish TO send
an open letter TO the Ladies of the G.. A.
r., telling them that at last We have
gained that for which we have waited so
long, our lawful and legal right to stand
side by side with our very own, the Grand
Army of the Republic. At the National
Convention in Chicago Gen. Leo Rassieur
came to our headquarters the evening be-
fore the opening session of our Conven-
ton and said: Tomorrow l am coming
TO your Convention, and will ask that |
may be obligated as member OF your Or
der When the announcement was made
in the G. y. X. Encampment that he had
been elected Commander-in-Ch Chief. he, with
Past Commander-in-C Chief w. c. Johnson
and the Committee on Greeting from the
g. y. R., came into our Convention and
asked to be obligated, saying he proposed
to place us where we belonged. standing
on the same level with him. Sisters, can
you imagine what u proud and happy
moment it was for us, who have been so
patiently waiting for our own to come to
us. 1t was an impressive sight when tie
highest officer in the G.. \. r., with his
comrades, stood on the platform and with
bowed heads took the obligation. Every
sister in the hall. with hands in proper
position, renewed the obligation with
them. AS soon as the ceremony was over
comrade member of our Order, said:
"A few years ago you were almost
crushed by the falling of brick house
upon you. Very quietly and with woman
ly dignity you fought your way out. To-
day the COmmander-in-C Chief removes the
last brick, takes you by the hand. raises
you to your feet, places you in your right
full station side by side with him on the
same platform. Sister, this means work
for us. We must try and pay off a litte
more of the interest on the great debt we
owe this Grand Army of ours. We can
not live long enough to pay the principal"
In looking over the Journal of the Tlir
ty-third Encampment | find this report
from quite Il number OF States: II believe
there is Ladies of the G.. A. X. Circle,
but we have no official report from it."
Sisters, let the members of the g. A. X.
in every State where there are Circles
know that you are i'll existence, and that
you are ready for work. Let them know
what you are doing. If there are States
where no Circles exist, see that Circles
are organized. Let us prove to our Com
mander-in-Ch that we are deserving his
favor and commendatiOn; let us so work
that our National President may have a
grand report. What mean by work is to
let the world know what we are doing.
We for years have been doing a grand
work, but we have modestly kept in the
background. Now the time has come for
us to be placed right in the eyes of our
great Grand Army of the Republic-NET-

for a severe injury or disease. and the rec
OrdS of such hospital are intact, that rec
ord is presumed to show treatment; If it
does not, the reasons why the record is
silent should be satisfactorily shown. If
there were, as a fact, eye-witneSSeS to an
alleged incurrence of an injury, the testi-
mony of such eye-witneSSes should be OBJ
tanned or satisfactory reasons given why
such evidence is not produced. Whether
the injury was incurred in time of peace,
in Il battle, in 4 crowded community, i'll
camp, or anywhere else matters not, only
so far as the circumstances surrounding
the alleged incurrence demonstrate as to
what is the best evidence that the case is
susceptible of.
Il am clearly of the opinion that the
statements in the former decision i'll this
case, in so far as they attempt to lay down
a rule of evidence to be observed in prov
ing service origin, are not correct. They
lay down Il much more strenuous rule than
ever obtained in cases of like. import un-
der the common law or under any statute
that | have ever seen, and such state
mentS in said decision will be diSregaIdG
and held as of no weight.
ANY evidence which tends to convince
the mind that the thing sought to be
proved is true is of value. The evidence
of one, who, although an alleged eye-wit-
ness. yet is shown to be wholly irrespOnsi-
BILE as to truth, is of little if any value,
while the evidence of credible afant, a.
though not an eyewitness, yet who teSti-
fies TO material facts, may carry much
weight. The true test of the weight of
evidence lies in its convincing power.
The former opinion related only to tcs
timony adduced at special examination,
and the contention of the attorneys to the
effect that the evidence filed by claimant
and soldier is entitled to weight is Il sound
and this case will consequently
be discussed de novo."
The decision says in conclusion: ut
has been suggested that soldier was guilty
of laches in allowing time to elapse so
that three important witnesses are now
dead, from whom it was probable very
reliable evidence could have been secured. !
If this We're true. there should be some
force in the suggestion: but the papers in
the case show that soldier, up to the date
of his death, made repeated attempts TO
have his case adjudicated, and to be ad
vised as to what, if any, evidence was
lacking, and all without avail. Under
such circumstances laches cannot be at
tributed to him.
