THAT PENSION RULING.

THAT PENSION RULING.
It is very true, as a democratic con-
temporary declares, that there is
no nation in the world that is now
paying or ever has paid, such a vast
sum for pensions as the United
States is doing today" The news
paper quoted might with equal truth
fitness have gone further and as
serted that no nation in the world
owes a greater debt to the recipi-
,ents of pensions than does the United
States. The cause for which the ma
jority of the pensioners of the United
States fought, the sacrifices they made
and the exalted patronism that caus-
ed them to take up arms at the call
of the nation, are likewise without
their parallel. Having risked all that
the nation might survive when it's
existence was threatened, they are en-
titled to everything that may be done
now for them. The limit for which
the contemporary pleads will only
have been reached when the limit OF
the nations ability to give has been
attained, but not before.
Generosity toward the old soldiers
has ever been a characteristic of the re-
publican party, while niggardliness
and neglect in the same respect have
marked democratic treatment of them.
Proof of this is furnished in over
whelming abundance by the records
of the only two democratic admins
trations the country has had since the
present pension list was created. To
say that the recent ruling of the COM
missioner of pensions, approved by the
secretary of the interior, is in violation
of the law is to state something not
exactly true. 1t is only a broad and
liberal Interpretation of the law of
1890 for the purpose of acting Justly
by the veterans by reducing the limit
of age at which they have heretofore
been able to Eel pensions for dis
ability. Instead of designating as fall
lacious the reasoning that because the
government arbitrarily retires it's Off
cess of the regular army at 81 years of
age, implying thereby that they have
reached the age of disability, the SOL
diers who fought in the civil war
should be regarded in the same man.
ner, it strikes most people that the
very opposite should be it's designa-
tion.
OF course, it goes without saying
that all veterans who are entitled to
a pension under the new ruling will
not avail themselves of the right it
~confers. Many of them are not in
need of the stipend of Sc a month that
they n nov permitted to draw. But
countless many are and no one. ex-
cept a democratic editor, would be
cruel enough ito say they should not
have it. The average age of the civil
war survivors is estimated to be GA
years, and their ranks are annually
decreasing at the rate of about 40
600, this up to the present. From
now On each year will e a material
decrease in the number Of those re-
spondtng the the final summons, con-
sequently 1T will be only a compare
lively lew years until the last one
shall have been called.
The ruling will probably increase

NEW LEGAL PROCEEDING.
Whether that relationship really ex-
lists between the distinguished jurist
and the men in whose behalf he is
charged with rendering decisions adj
versely to- the government that is
suggested by his name the record
available does not show. But for all
that Judge Wing OF the United States
court at Cleveland just now is the
subject of considerable newspaper and
judicial comment because of the &C.
tion the attorney general has insti-
tuted in which the judge is made the
respondent.
Judge Wing has been hearing cases
arising out of the Geary exclusion
act. In them he has held that the
law of congress under which deporta-
tions of Chinese were sought is un-
constitutional. The results have been
that the "Chinks'' brought before him
have been released. Because of his
p%ersistency in that direction the mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of Attorney General Knox, who has
| applied for a writ of mandamus fer
the purpose of compelling the judge
to reverse himself and hold otherwise.
The case is SO novel and unlike any
that has ever arisen that the bar
OF the entire country is becoming
interested and is watching the out
come with lively feelings. This does
not signify that a judge is not amen
able to a writ of mandamus, or that
none has ever been made the subject
of such a proceeding. The novelty
lies in the fact that it is sought to
compel one to decide in a particular
and specific way, and not to require
him to act in a given case, leaving
the matter Of deciding it to his judg-
ment and view of the law. The right
of appeal in the event of dissatisfac-
tion with the decision so rendered
would still remain and if it were
found that the lower court had erred
the error could be remedied in the
usual way. Nothing of this kind is
intended in the case of Judge Wing.
The supreme cout is asked to make
an order compelling him to rule as
the attorney general says he should
rule and in accordance with rulings OF
courts of superior authority.
To add still wore interest to the case
Judge Wing holds he is not subject to
the writ demanded by Mr.. Knox. In
the decisions offensive to the attor-
ney general and the department of the
terasury Judge Wing has held that he
was not sitting as a court, but merely
as a judge in chambers, therefore
there is no record on which the at
torney general could base an appeal.
Whether this is a real difficulty and
of a nature SO serious as to cause ma
terial interference with the attorney
generals plan only a good lawyer
can, perhaps, tell. Whether it will
result in asking legislation from con-
gress requiring Judge Wing when
hearing Chinese cases to sit only as
a court and not merely as a judge,
or whether the supreme court will
be asked to command him to make
record of such cases on his court
dockets are some of the questions
discussed.
Pending final decision his honor con-
tinues to turn Cinnamon loose as fast
as they are brought before him, much
as it may crimp the treasury depart
ment and the attorney general. I'm
til he is compelled to act otherwise
