of the women who had been srue and
faftFful wives to veterans, had nursed

enough to stamp the administration OF
the Pension Bureau with infamy. Not

Atterney-Generaps Office and other
agencies were brought to bear to as

Compare all this with the magnificent
record OF the past four years under
Roosevelt and Commissioner Warner,
when the number Of pension certificates
issued has steadily increased j from

THE LAMP OF EXPERIENCE.

Il have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided. and tnat is the lamp
of experience. i know no way of juag-
ing of the future but by the past. -
Patrick Henry.
We cannot too strongly commend this
sage utterance of one of the Fathers
of the Republic to the veterans of all
wars at this present juncture.
They can only read the future by the
past, and the past is exceedingly in
structive at this time, when they are
being importuned to vote for Mr.. Bryan
and install not only him in power, but
the same controlling elements which
came into office with Mr.. Cleveland.
The direful consequences to all veter-
ans, their widows and orphans of the
success of the elements which made Mr..
Cleveland President are still sorrowfuily
fresh in the minds of the comrades and
those who are connected with them.
The records of the Pension Bureau are
mournfully eloquent on this subject.
The following is an official letter from
the Commissioner of Pensions, intro
ducing the subject conciseiy and force
fully:
Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Pensions,
Washington, Oct s, 1898.
Editor rational Tribune: In compli-
ance with your personal request of this
date, I have. the honor to forward here
with a copy of an order, No. 164, issued
by Greeh 2. Rauni, Commissioner of
Pensions on Oct. d5.s 1890, defining the
practice to be followed in the adjudiea-
ton Of invalid claims under the proyi-
sions of the act of June 81, 1899; in
structions OF 4oke Smith, Secretary Of
the Interior, dated May %, 1898, re-
yoSing Order No. 1874, and directing
that claims which were allowed under
the practice outlined in said order be
taken up for re-examiuatson; Order No.
22S, dated Jnne Z, 1888. and signed by
William Lochren, Commissioner, carry
ing into effect the Secretarys instrue-
tions of May 81, 1898, and Order No.
a95, dated June &c, 1895, signed by
William Lcchren, Commissioner, aboi-
isiling the Board of Revision created
under OrdexEAo. 226, the purpose for
which said Eoard was organized having
been accomplished.
The records of the Bureau show that
by reason of the instructions of the
then Secretary, Hoke Smith, of May q,
1898, s,723 soldiers and sailors who
were drawing pension under the provi-
sions of the act of June 81, 1890, we're
dropped from the rolls, and 23,703 SOL
diers and sailors who. were in receipt
of pension under said act had their
pensions reduced.
While the number of pensioners
dropped from the rolls is stated as
S,723, it is proper to advise you that
during the first year of the revision the
records are partly incomplete. and II
is believed that a statement that 10000
pensioners under the act of June %,
1890, We're dropped from the rolls
would be well within the actual figures.
1t will be interesting to note the
number of invalid pensioners under the
act of June q, 1890, who were dropped
from the rolls for all causes (other
than by death and failure to claim)
during the fiscal years ended June 80,
1893, to June 20, 1898, inclusive:
