A Pension Ruling.

Commissioner of Pensions Ware, with
the approval OF Secretary Hitchcock, has
promulgated the most important pension
ruling that has been issued In long
time. 1t directc. that beginning, April
Is next, if there is no contrary evidence
and all other legal requirements have
been met, claimants for pension under
the general act of June 81, 1890, who are
over 81 years old shall be- considered as
disabled one half in ability to perform
manual labor and shall be entitled to So
a month; over IS years to IS; over SO
to SO and over 10 TO $12, the usual al
Iowances at higher rates mot exceeding
$12) continuing for disabilities other
than age. This order will take effect,
April 10, and shall not be deemed re-
troactive. The former rules of this
Office fixed the minimum and maximum
at 65 years and Is years respectively.
Commissioner Ware says: There is
an advantage and saving to the govern
ment in the use of this order, because
every old soldier, who has reached the
age of 81 years is able to prove almost
without possibility of doubt that he is
one half disabled from earning his sup
port by manual labor. This being 30,
it seems unwse to put soldier to the
expense OF time and transportation to go
to a place where medical board can ex-
anime him to fnd out that fact, and on
the other hand, 1t seems unne cessary for
the government to keep boards establish
ed and then pay 90 for the examination
of soldier when the result of the ex-
animation can be so accurately foretold.
OF the zoe, 900 examinations in the last
year, if one-fourth were saved 1t would
amount to $500, 900 and perhaps an equal
amount in time and transportation of
the old soldier do not think the in
creased expense in the long run will be
very noticeable, because the death rate
is always to be considered and there is
also to be considered the fact that the
ones to whom we give the pension with
out proof other than their ages would
have proven themselves anyhow under
former circumstances as entitled to the
pension by reason of their disabilities.

The Caucus Law.

cuses Of political parties in which the
