I have not done this for several reasons: “1. Fraudulent cases, if any exist, can not be discovered iu that way. A fraudulent pension must ordinarily Dave been obtained upon false or forged testimony. On the face of the papers such a case would probably appear to be well established aud incontestable. “2. No one whose opinion is entitled to consideration has, as I think, had the hardihood to claim that (lie great mass of adjudicated pension cases is permeated with fraud, open aud plain on the papers, so that the examination ot 1,000 cases would disclose an instance. And I certainly have far too high an opinion ot old comrades to believe that large nutn

beis of them are scounJrels, who have sought and obtained pension dishonestly. Even among the twelve apostles there was oue who was unworthy, and among the brave and true soldiers of the Union army jt cau not be denied that there were a tew bounty jumpers and men who were of no credit to us and of little deserving, and who have been perhaps among the most eager for a t place oil the pension roll at a high rating. The investigation as to the work of dishonest pension attorneys at .Norfolk, New Mexico and Iowa, shew local frauds of largeextent. But it would be tar from fair to conclude front such cases that pension attorneys are generally un^^pulous or dishouest^ I think, on the contrary, they are ordinarily as honest, painetakiug and careful as other business ''/'men. „ “3. The examination of June 27 1890, cases are made, not because (f any part of the claimants, but because it was discovered that this bureau had by the adoption of an erroneous rule for adjudication, allpwed many pensions not authorized by law. Under prior laws pensions were only granted on accouut ot the disabilities of service origin. “All pensions granted under former laws are presumed to have been properly granted, and they are not being examined except on information showing fraud iu some particular case, as has been practiced. But the act of June 27,1890, granted pensions to persons who had served ninety days or more; if suffering from mental or physical disability of a permanent character, not the result of their own vicious habits, incapacitating them from the performance of man- -• |Ual labor in sueh & degree as to ren

^ler tnem unaDio 10 earn a supporteach pensisou uot to exceed $12 nor ^ less (ban $6 per mouth, proportioned to the disability to earn a support by manual labor. Uuder this act the disability need uot be of service ori- ' gin, but to be pensionable the disability must incapacitate the person trom manual labor, so as to render him unable to earn a support. Specific jKrfmillties as such were not pensior <rble at all uuder this act, nor entitled to consideration except as they might affect the capacity to perform mantaal labor. But by order 164, issued October 15, 1890, the commissioner, with the approval of the assistant secretary, directed that specific disabilities should be rated under this act tho same as they would have been rated under pri«r laws bad the disabilities been of service origib, up to $12 per mouth. The effect ot this order was showu in the Bennett oase which called attention to (t. “A board of revision is therefore constituted of the ablest and most experienced pnen of the bureau tp reexamine these cases, and cull out such at hadjfo legal basis to rest upon, aud with instructions to interfere with no ca|H where, by the most liberal construction, a right to the pension could be made to appear, and in other cases where the pension could not be sustained under any law, to give the sixty days’ notice according to preyious practice, within which (ha pensioner may furnish additional d^idence aud sjtow himself entitled.

No one disputes the correctness of the decision of the Bennett case. “My old comrades-iiiay feel sure of receiving everything to which the law most liberally^eonstrued entitles them. Partisan leaders tuay try to arouse feeling for partisan ends; but the law upon the construction given to it by two heads of the same depart- J tnent of opposite polities; whieh eon- j struetion is admitted by either to be! correct, lias no political character, and 1 I did not hesitate to commit tlie work ; 16 a board of revision whose ability fitted them for it, lliongh most of therti, with their chief, are republican, They are able ami fair men, and select from day to day, from C§erases examined, such cases as they deem unlawfully allowed. If that was the class of cases you wished drawn and examined, the work is done every day by this board. None of the pensions in these cases are suspended (inlii after condemnation by this board. It is that in very main of such cases the pensioners will be able to produce testimony allowing them entitled to pensions under the law in which case the suspension will be removed, $5. $10 anil $20, Genuine Confederate Bills only five cents each ; $50 and $100 bills at 10 cents each: 25c and 50u shinplasters 10 cents each ; $1 anil $2 bills 25 cents each.

JOHN RODIN SON'S SHOW, The Amusement Uolconda ot the Pcried. Nearly seventy years of continuous ovalion lias characterized the career of the John Robinson show, which this season is reaching the proud culmination of its triumphs. No other show in existence can display so continuous and so clear a record. From the cold waters of the Kennebec lo the shores of the Pacific, from the northern boundaries of civilization to the southern limits ol this continent, far more than one generation has the name of John Robinson neen a household word, and the coming of the always unexceptional exhibitional enterprises that bear his name is ever greeted with a hearty welcome From the genesis of the show until its present colossal perfection, there has not been a solitary season in which it has not led its fellows ill the multiplicity and general excellence of its attractions, and now it towers above and dwarfs all cotemperous tented exhibitions into comparative insignificance, ami this season it presents such an opulence of sterling and meritorious attractions ub to truly entitle it to be designated as a vast amusement Golconda, whosysfrvondrous wealth of entertainment is unlimited and inmeasurable. It is merely a work of superogation to say that bis has always been the best and biggest, always in the van, always prolific in leading and sensational features, and alwnys fully equipped with finest stud of horses and the most skillful and finished bareback riders, gymnasts and acrobats in the profession; that his large, well ordered and well selected menagerie contains living, vigorons specimens of all that is strnnge, rare and curious within the range of natural history, and that his royal Roman hippodrome is a vivid and realistic reproduction of that of the days of imperial Caesar. It may be said, 'however, that to those always promineut and desirable attractions has been added for the current season, a feature so stupendous in magnitude, so overpowering in uuprecedent grandeur and impressiveness, and so enormous iu the expense necessnryto its production.that the

matures uieimuutu, unu uiuuimnoii8 as they are, can at best play but a secondary part. Tbe grand biblical, historical, stenographic, lyric, terpsichurean and pantomimic spectacle of Solomon, his temple and the queen of Sheba is thus alluded to; a transeendently impressive and eminently moral and mind elevating pageantic and scenic production from the fertile brain of Mr Jden Kettig, the projector and creator of “The Fall\pf Rabvlon,” "Montezuma,” and “Bondage in Egypt,” noted spectacles which have been naturally produced under the auspices of the Order of Cincinnatus, and which have become famous throughout the length and breadth of tbe land. To claim that “Solomon, his temple and the Queeu of Sheba” is the masterpiece ot this brilliant artist is not transcending the limits of veracity. There is hot a sensual, libidinous nor lascivious sceue, act or thought in the spectacle, and everything in the ebtire presentation is holy, chaste and pure. The newspaper notice prevent mention in detail of the manifold characteristics and excellencies of this georgeous and imposing spectacle, but the reader will find exhaustive description in the bills, circulars aud advertisements disseminated broadcast by the management TheRob in6on show will exhibit at Pe tersburg, Tuesday.
