Nokia Itatra Tannr.
Washington, October 19. Secretary
Noble's first letter to Commissioner
Tanner ou the subject of the rel ating of
pensions is made public to-night. It is
dated July 24. The secretary acknowl
edges the receipt of Tanner's letter of
J ill v 11, marked "unofficial," but w hich
he could uot receive as anything but au
official paper, raising as it did the ques
tion of authority betwt-eu the commis
sioner and the secretary and asserting
that the commissioner is to be the
superior as to the matter discussed.
"Your iKisitiou in your own lan
guage," says the secretary, "is that
'ttliile tho secretary of the interior has
)ouer to reverse the decision of the
commissioner of pensions ou appeal by
a claimant against whom the commis
sioner has decided, on the other hand,
if for any reason it should be held that
the claimant has been granted too
much pension the commissiouerhiinseif
is the only person who has the power t
call a halt mid reducu the pension. '
Tho commissioner is laboring under a
great misapprehension. The secretary
has the power to correct any abuses
iu the bureau of pensions, or any other
bureau in his department."
The secretary in support of his )osi
tiou quotes copiously from the revised
statutes, and adds:
"Jt will uot do to say that the secre
tary may not inteifere and stop by his
on u power the execution of nnv orders
obviously illegal ami arbitrary. 'J ho
secretary is responsible for Hie conduct
of tho commissioner, is. bound to see
I n ut the law is enforced, that tho public
treasury is not unlawfully invaded, mid
that on i) citizen entitled to a right,
whether of a pension, laud or anything
else, is not unduly preferred either in
the time of hearing or iu the allowance
of money."
The secretary takes up the reraling
cases, which, he says, seem to be largely
mere increases of pension allowed for
long periods prior to the date of the ex
amining surgeon's certificate establish
ing the sumo under the pending claim
for increase. "Ju fact," lie says, "tlie
commissi. iner himself acknowledged
them to bo cases of increase of pensions."
l'he secretary continues: "The cases
refrred to were ten in number. In
each one of these the claimant was an
employe iu the (tension bureau, receiv
ing a salary sufficient for his compila
ble subsistence aud was at. his work
daily. They were associated together;
most of them had beeu iu their places
miller former administration, but thev
did not then prefer their claims. They
made them soon after the advent of tlie
present administration. There was no
reason under the existing rules that
th eir cases should be made special or
rushed through in advance of all oth
ers. On the contrary, there was then,
and had been for some vears. a
printed rule iu full force "that no
cases should be made special except in

this
cured, and the subsequent allowances
obtained is iu itself a faot that shows
that their purport! was to impose upon
tho commissioner. A further fact in
each case is that tho iucrcasoVas al
lowed prior to tho surgeon's certificate
in the pending claim, and that the sums
allowed aggregate over $18,000.
"Neither yon nor I can afford to act
upon personal considerations in a matter
of this magnitude. We arc each bound
by the law in rill things and it is our
duly to take tho law as we find it. Wo
are to fully exercise that power given to
cither of ns and to abstain from its
abuse to any degree whatever."
The secretary refers to the duties of
the hoard of review and says it is on es
tablished ami well known rule that the
department will uniformly refuse to
disturb an adjudication of claims bv a
former administration, except upon the
most conclusive evidence that error has
been committed. "When a question as
to the propriety of a given rating is
one of judgment merely, depending
upon tho weight of evidence, the de
partment will not allow the opinion of
to-day to overturn tho opin
ion of yesterday; and, further
more, old cases will not bo re
opened, reconsidered nor readjusted,
except npon tho presentation of new
and material evidence tending to show
the existence of a palpable error or ruis-
laKe. mo department does not enter
tain the least objection to the increase
of a pension, the increase to commence
nuder the pending claim as the law di
rects and upon evidence to support it."
The secretary then reviews at con
sulerablo length the cases of three of
tho pension office employes whose pen
sions wero rorated, and concludes that
tlie reraling was illegal and unwi.r
ranted.
"I will not go into the other cases,"
says the secretary, "ibey are before
yon. I have said enough, J think, to
show that, the secretary may well call a
halt until theso cases can be more csre-
lully examined. I notice, yon say in
your letter that you have such regard
for your official and persona I reputation
that yon will not permit these coses to
remain its they are, lint will order each
claimant for medical examination before
men whose word iiikui medical point
cannot bo challenged. The question is
not what may later be found out about
these men. The question In, what
should have been done upon their rec

Congress Im nsl.ed t.) iiuieiid ( he net of
June (i, IS74, so as to extend the benefit
of all pension laws lo all pensioners
whose pensions have been granted by
special acts subsequent to the fc'ild
date, mid that pensions be granted

from causes originating iu the service,

further recommends that the net of
March 3, 1877, be amended to grant
leiisioii8 to those who having partici
pated iu Ilia rebellion subsequently en
listed iu the army or navy of the United
fctites and weie disabled therein.
The commissioner lecommends new
legislation to rectify Hie inequalities in
the rating, and cites instances to show
tho unfairness iu the rates now provided
bylaw. He thinks this Statute should
be amended so as to permit a rate of
$72 per month to be proportionately di
vided for disabilities shown to be inci
dent to the service and the line of duly.
Tho injustice and unfairness caused o.V
the law of dune 10, 18X0, limiting tho
ht of pensioners to receive $72 per
month to those who were receiving
$'i0 per mouth at tho date of the law,
should bo corrected." No provision is
made for gra.iiug this rato for persons
totally helpless ou that date, but lint
receiving $i0 at the limn, and noun for
those who have become totally helpless
Since that date.
The commissioner proposes to pen
sion nil soldiers who were disabled. On
this point hu says:
As tho war period recedes trom ns
and age and its attendant infirmities
afflict the veterans, it is a serious ques
tion whether the government does him
justice in limiting the application of the
pension laws to those disabilities only
which were, contracted in the service.
I earnestly recommend that a pension
be granted to every honorably dis
charged soldier and sailor who is now,
or who may hereafter become disabled,
and without regard to whether such dis
ability is chargeable to the service of
the United States or has been contracted
since discharged therefrom."
Tho commissioner calls attention to
what he believes to he the manifestly
insufficient stun per month) granted
by the act of 1800 to widows for the care
and support of minor chihlreu under
