June 3,1893, The most important development of the week touchiyfc the plans and policy n and its political reference to pen­ sion list has been a eratie side for years men,but that the democratic administra- pian for a repeal of the of the ad mini leaders h si cms thorn has ^ first wort tion would b<* t refused or cut down to a trifle. Taking this case as a basis for another 'pension sensation' Secretary Smith and his asso­ ciates assumed that probably half the cases on the pension roll under the de* pendent pension law were of the same general character aud that the full rate of twelve dollars per month bad been al­ lowed to tens of thousands who were en­ titled to little if any pension. Therefore thecountry was treated to the sensation­ al announcement that Secretary Smith had discovered startling frauds in the pension service, ̂ and issued an order which will result in a saving of $20,000,- 000 a year in pension payments ^ Now what are the facts fn Secretary Smith's wonderful discovery ? The rate of pension to be paid for a slight deaf­ ness in both ears was fixed and estab- lishpd by Democratic commissioner Black at $1 ,r> per month. This was the act of a Democratic officer and under his ruling pensions were allowed at $15 per month for a slight deafness in both ears. This rate having been established by him, the maximum rate of $12 a month allowed under the dependent pension act was ap­ plied in the casej of Bennett, but some months afterward Pension Commissioner Rfnim and the Republican Secretary of the Interior decided it would be unfair to other pensioners to allow under the de­ pendent pension act the full amount for a slight deafness which is allowed for en­ tire disability under other circumstances and therefore reduced the general rate tinder that act for a slight deafness in both ears to $6 a month. Therefore Secretary Smith's wonderful discovery relates to a single case in which the al­ lowance made under a Republican ad ministration was not as great as that allowed by the Democratic commissioner and instead of being the basis of reduc­ tions which will gave $20,000,000 may possibly result in saving a few thousand dollars a year in cases which had been acted upon before the general ruling by Commissioner Ilaum which reduced the allowance in all cases of that character. Thus the work of making the pension law odious through false representations goes on in the hope that its repeal will thus be made possible. O. Pv A. Hl» Hroailer «ow t ha» ever before.

Driven to desperate methods for carrying out their promisei of ta-iff re­ daction the leaders have naturally se­ lected as a plan for reducing the expenses of the government the class of citizens for whom they have the least affection-- the soldiers. That their plans were to reduce the pension expenditures and if possible repeal the dependent pension act was indicated in this correspondence a-- IWThat the Geary Chinese exclusion [law is a dead letter for the present, is ob­ livious from the following judicial event: [n New York recently, one Ny Look, a lan, was arraigned on the charge it he had failed to register under the iry law.

Probably the strongest evidence of that fact however, is found in the develop­ ments of the present week. As has been already indicated in this correspondence, the administration iB working the newspapers and news dis­ seminating vehicles in every way possi­ ble to shape public sentiment in a way that it will endure the carrying out ti the plans which it has in view. The work in which it is now especially engag­ ed is an attempt to make the pension law, especially the dependent pension act of 1890, odious, if it can persuade the people that that law is being abused and made the vehicle of great frauds upon the Government the leaders think that the people will endure its repeal if they do not sanction it. So the leaders whose especial duty it is to attempt to mold the public opinion are now ex gaged in a series of cover attacks upon this law, Their plan seems to be to charge that great frauds are being committed under it, with the hope that by a constant series of charges of this kind they can create a sentiment against it sufficient to warrant the Democratic party in re­ pealing it. Wherever they have found a pension attorney attempting to violate or evade the law a great hullabaloo has been raised over it with startling stories given to the press indicating "Democrat ic discoveries of pension fraud." The most startling, perhaps, of these stories relates to the alleged discovery lay Secre­ tary Hoke Smith of tremendous frauds in the pension system and an order is sued by him which it was claimed wr<uld reduce pension expenditures $20,000,000 a year. All these so called discoveries which are being bulletined the country over effect contain more or lesselements of the fakir's arts. The stories about frauds by pension attorneys probably are true in some cases, but they are no more so than is the case with violators of any other law. There are thousands of pen­ sion attorneys the country over and thousands of unscrupulous men who are willing to risk their chances of the peni­ tentiary to make a few dollars and they haye been attempting to violate tb" pen­ sion law as they have been violating other laws. Never a day passes that we do not hear of some violation of the law but it does not follow that because a law is violated or evaded it shall be repealed or that the people who discover and at­ tempt those violations are entitled., to any more credit than any officer of the law who performs his whole duty. The Republican administration detected num erous attempts at frauds not only upon the pension law but on other laws be­ cause somebody attempted to violate tbem. Probably the most important and at the same time barefaced attack upon the pension laws was that in which Secretary 200,000 POUNDS Wanted, at onr Dryer in the vil­ lage of McHenry, for which TWO GENT8 PER POUND Will be paid, if deliverep in good shape. 8HEPARD & £Oft.
