THE HOCK ISLAND AUGUS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 189. THE DAILY AltGUS JOHN W. POTTER. Thursday. October 10. 1889. At th Tkeair. Beach & Boweri' famous minstrels Rare ao exceedingly clever performance to a Urge audience at Usrper's theatre last evening. Tbe first part was novel and on the spectacular order, showing tbe customary semi circle with bsnd grouped in the rear; but the surroundings were beautified with special and very hand some scenic effects, the band appearing in Turk lob costume with white faces, while the burnt cork artists were richly attired in Fhakespearian costumes. The son us were new and well rendered, esv perially was this true of Alf Marcbem's "Baby and I," a touching little melody and one of the sweetest things ever beard on the minstrel stage. The feats of Mon cayo the boneless contortionist, were wonderful; tbe Mexican drill wss unique, Otis Rowers ttie comedian, was a whole show In himself In bis original creation f the stump seakor; Reach and John' sons "run on the Quiet," was enjoyable; I'liss. Ossn.lc, the funny musical artist, enve a side-splitting entertainment and the knockabout feat of Rows and Johnson were the best ever seen here. The whole con cluded wiih the new extrayaganra, "Aunt Hanna's Christening." There is a striking contrast indeed between the entertainment of last night and the one given by tbe company on its former ap pearance here. Come agsin.

Scanlon, tbe great iomedian of "Peek a Boo" fame, appear) at the new Burtis in Davenport tomorrow night in his latest comedy success, "Miles Aroop," introducing all the songs which have car ried his name far and wide.

Tbe as sistant secretary In bis review of this order eays tbat tbe only author ty for the Increase to ft per month is fourd in the order ot Commissioner Tanner abve mentioned, and that it was in pursuance it this order, with out reference to a medics 1 board, the pension was so Increased. Not Consistent with Law or rraetloe. Mr. Bussej then goes n to say tbat the order is inconsistent with law and prece dent, as all re-ratings ars by law to be based upon medical examine ions that show an increase of disability, except where con gress specifically acta upon a esse. Upon this principle alone can a system be enforced which will be equitable and just If it were admissible tbat pension could be increased upon tbe mere order f the commissioner "tbe whole schedule of ratings for such dis abilities might be obliterated or revolu tionised by a similar order, and as a conse quence tbe grossest inequalities, not to say tbe moat flagrant injustice, might be estab lished in the practice of the pension office. And it may he properly added here that if luoh an order might b legittmately enforced by the commissioner ' n one case he might. by a stroke of tbe pen, increase and re-rate all pensioners for non-specifio disabilities without any restraint excepting his own discretion. Tanner's Kiror Manifest. "The error of tbe above-mentioned order. issued April -.", li, by the lute commis sioner of pensions, is manifest and the re scinding ot it necessarily follow. It bas neither the odor of lis nor the authority of precedent If, however, it appears to you in tbe light of a mediou! examination tbat tbe pensioner is entitled to an Increased rating toe an increase ot disability from chronic diarrheas, you will proceed to abjudicate his claim accoi dingly.
