unn rhfrd Mileage Question.

The thirty-seyenth congress held three SEES
sions. The law provided mileage toronly
two sessions; therefore a third mileage was
voted at the last session by a majority OF one
IN the house. and decisive majority in the
senate. Very serious objection has been
urged against this third mileage, chiefly on
the ground that the mileage as established from
the beginning is larger than it should be, since
a Journey to Washington is now much less
expensive than it was fifty years ago. There
is force in the objection which should have
defeated the measure by which the members
of the two houses were supplied with addi-
tional travelling expenses.
This action of congress has very naturally
been criticised and discussed; and faithful
record has been made of the names of two
gentlemen who positively refused to receive
the extra mileage money. Another case is
now reported Of a somewhat different charac-
ter. Hon. Schuyler ColfaX, it is said, took
his share of the third mileage money
and gave 1t to the Indiana commission
for the benefit of sick and wounded SOL
ders. That is to say, he felt that he
had no just right to it, and therefore
he gave it away. The New York Tribune
publishes the fact, and exclaims-''Just like
HIM" Now, we have nothing to say against
Mr. Colfax. He is an estimable gentleman,
voted the money is one of the very best. But
if he had no right to that money, why did he
take ii for any purpose whatever? If it did
not justly belong to him, he could not justly
give it away. He may give away his own
money, and may very pr operly be commend
ed when he gives in such way as to deserve
it but neither Mr.. Colfax nor any other man
has a right to give away money that does not
belongto them; and, if he could not properly
take that money and use it as his own, he had
no right to take it at all. The censures be-
slowed upon this extra mileage business are
directed against taking this additional money
from the treasury.
We leave it for those who defend taking thu
third mileage 20 defend that side of the CUES
ton. But we insist that the Tribune an,
others who denounce it shall not stul
tify themselves by inditing commenda
tons of the taking of the money for an
purpose. By doing so they yield til
whole question. Wrongful taking of none
cannot be justified by benevolent giving
hence we cannot understand why such wrong
full taking should be excused, and eve
frightened into virtue by the circumstanC
that the taker, feeling guilty or uneasy
his mind, refuses to use for himself what
takes. The Tribune, which has discussC
this mileage question SO long and with
much earnestness should not now be diver
ed from the real question.

General News Summary
BOSTON AND VICINITY.


The celebration Of ST. Patrick's festival in

all parts Of the state joined in the festivities.
1t was expected that sermon would be
preached by the Rev. Father Mcguire, S. j.,
of Washington, D. c., but at the close of the
mass Father Williams announced that Father
Mcguire was in the city the day previous, and

believe that some accident had befallen him.

The AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGE.-At a recent
meeting of the state board of agriculture, the
subject of the proposed agricultural college
was very fully discussed, and the sentiment
of the members present at length took form
in the unanimous passage of series of reso-
lutions which declare the opinion that the pro-
posed college should not be Immediately con-
nected with any institution now in existence,
and that the control and jurisdiction of the
affair should be vested in the board of agri-
culture as Immediately representing the farm
ing interests of the commonwealth. Messrs.
Marshall P. Wilder, Paoi Lathrop, S. B.
Phinney, George B. Loring, John Brooks,
Henry Colt and Charles G. Davis were APP
pointed committee to present the views of
the board before the committee of the legisla-
ture having this subject in charge. Boston

RHODE IsLAND.-The adopted citizens of
Rho de Island have a kind of state organiza-
ton, originally designed to secure the same
right of franchise which is enjoyed by native
born citizens. The constitution of the state
discriminates against them unjustly, and they
have had ample cause for complaint. Their
organization, however, has fallen into bad
hands, who seem bent upon making it appear
that the adopted citizens are not worthy of the
right OF suffrage. They held state conven-
ton in Providence, Monday, at which nation.
al affairs were of course chiefly discussed;
but as we read the report in the congenial col
umns of the Providence Post, scarcely loyal
word was spoken from the commencement to
the end; while the sentiments of most of the
speakers, and their resolutions, were unadul-
terated copperheadism. They will act in
harmony with the democratic party. having
made no nomination that might hazard its
success in the approaching election.

CITY AND COUNTY.

FIRE ENGINES VS.. FIRE CoMPANIEs.-Th
city fathers are about to add to our fire ma
chinery new steamer for additional security
against losses by fire. The utility of steam
fire engines in many cases will not now be
questioned for moment; undoubtedly much
valuable property has been saved by the one
we have already in use. But it will surprise
many to learn that the losses by fire have
more than tribled since it was introduced,
and since the consequent reduction in the
number of hand engines. The steamer has
been in operation two years, and the losses ac-
cording to official reports for the last six
years have been in round numbers as follows
In 1878, $4,000; in lS59-60, $4l 900; in
1872, 100000; average annual loss for the
last two years $5l, 000 for the four years
previous $4,000, The result shows that how
ever useful steamers may be in reducing large
CONGREGATIONS, they do not prevent fires, nor
supersede the necessity of the old fashioned
fire companies, which are always ready for
service almost upon the instant of alarm.
We trust, therefore, that no more hand en-
gines will be dispensed with, whatever num-
Der of steamers it may be thought best to
purchase. be-
